it continued to withet, and seemed, in
fact, quite dead. Hoping, however, to
revive it: so soon this spring as practi-

yesterday when the sun shone full Upon

Young seals do not know how to
swim. They have to become gradually
accustomed to the water, either by en-.
tering it to paddle about by themselves
or by being carried into it in their moth
ers' jaws. They have great fear of the
waves that break into foam, and as soon
flight in terror, and do not turn round
until they have assembled to very high
place above the sea.

But none, alas, will weep for me.
