MARY’S LITTLE LAMB.

REVISED VERSION. Miss Mary was the possessor of a diminutive and immature specimen of the Ovis Aries, a wool bearing and rumiuent quadruped, whose flesh is highly esteemed by persons to whose gastatory organs its flavour is agreeable. The shaggy and agglomerated filaments constituting in their col lective capacity its natural outer covering, integument, or garment, presented to the vision a surface absolutely etiolated and albified, and rivalling in immaculateuess the lustrous mantle of crystalized vapour that commonly characterises the winter landscape. And to whatsoever locality, con tiguous or remote, whither Mary’s vagrant fancy, the call of duty, or perchance the parental mandate impelled her, when not otherwise engaged, to betake herself, this juvenescent representative of the genus Ovis Aries, with a fidelity remarkable in one so immature and inexperienced, could be counted upon with absolute and entire certainty to accompany her.
