A LAMB AT SCHOOL Most of our -ouuff readers will be surprised to hear that the well known nurserv soriir ot uMarv Had a Little Lamb is a true fatid that -Mary" is Su)i nv nig, "says an exchange. A'inut seventy years ago she was a little girl, the daughter of a farmer in Worcester county, -Muss, j She was very fond. of going with her father to the fields to sec the slieep, and one day they found a baby lamb which vvas thought to be dead. Kind hearted ! little Mary, however, lifted it up in her arms, and as it seemed to breathe she carried it home, made it a warm bed near the stove and nursed it tenderly. Great was her delight when, after weeks of careful nursing and watching, her little patient began to grow, well and strong, and soon after was able to run about. ! It knew its young mistress per fectly, always came at her call, and was happy ouly wheu at her side. One day it followed her to the village school, and not know ing what else to do with ' it, she put it uiider her desk, : and cov- ered it with her shawl. There it stayed until Mary was called up to the teacher's desk to say her lesson and then the iamb walked qQietly after i,er and the j other 6hildren burst out laughing. Bo the teacher had to shut the htle girl's pet in the woodshed: until school was out. Soon after this a young student named John Rollstone wrote a li'tle? poem about Mary and her lamb ud presented it to her. The lamb grew to-be a sheep and lived for many yeaie, and when at last it died Mary grieved so much for it that her mother took some ot its wool, which was uas white a pair as enow," -and knitted of death, -Mrs; Sarah Hall,1 a cele brated woman who wrote; books, composed some verses Mary's lamb and added them :to uiusB .wimeu uy u ujiu ; runaiuae, making the complete poem as we know it. Mary took tuch good unuc tiutMiiiiij mauc ui uci 1 .-.-" i - I ' ;amu s lieece, tnat when she was a grow j up woman she galve one ot them to a church fair in Bos- ion. As soon as it became known - that the stocking was made front every- one wanted a piece of it; so the stocking was raveled ! out and the yarn cut intosraall pieces. Each piece was tied to a card 611 which.
