TOTYPE OF FOEM Says Orighial Author: Was One Johii Roulstone == Further Verses Pro- bably Added by Mrs. Hale, Richard K. Powers, of Lancaster, Mass, has just celebrated his 03rd birthday, and Richard K. Pewer's cousin Mary had a litle lamb. i Now, when a respectinl world was in- formed of Mr. Power's birthday. it was informed also of a certain fact concern- ling his cousin's famous pet. "Mary," sand Mf. Powers, "was my cousin. Her full name was Mary Sawyer. Her lamb was one of twins, born on the Sawyer farm in 1814." It was good of Mr, Powers to mike this, important contribution to literary {and natural history. There were many who then learned for the first time that Mary's lamb was uot unique. But, as a matter of 'fact, thé story of that amiable beast was told twenty-four years ago, and by Mary herself, For in the year 1889 Mary I. Tyler, whose maiden name' had been Mary Sawyer, wrote for a Vermont newspaper the following narrative. She was then 83 years old and lived at 29 Central str in the pleasant town of Souers ne cold, bleak March morning 1 went. out with father to the barn, and after the cows had been fed we went to the sheep pen and found two lambs there which had been born in the night One of them had been forsaken by its mother and through neglect was about dead from the cold and for want of food. 1 saw it had a little life aud wanted to take it into the house, but father said 10: it was about dead any way, and at best could live but for 'a short time, Rut 1 could riot bear to see the poor little thing suffer so, and 4 teased until I got it into the house, and then I worked upon mother's sympathy "It couldnt at first swallow, and the catnip tea 1 had mother make it could not take for a long time. I got the lamb warm the first thing, which was done by wrapping her in an old gar- ment and holding her in my arms be side the fireplace All day long 1 nursed the lamb, and at night it could swallow just a little. Oh, how pleased Iwas, But 1 was not then satisfied it jwould live, and 1 sat up all night with it, fearing it wouldn't be warm enbush unless there was some one there to look out for its comfort "In the morui much to mv girlish delight, it could stand; then it improved rapidly, soon learned to drink miil il from the time it could walk i would follow ine anywhere if I called it It was a fast grower, as symmetrical '; sheep as ever walked, aud its Heec w of the finest and whitest.

Flere 15 what "Mary" says: "Visiting the schoal that forenoon was a young man named John Roulstope The voung Wan was very nuch pleased ut the school incident, and the next day he rode across the fizlds on horseback. came to the little, old schoolhouse, and handed me a slip of paper which had Written on it three verses, which are the original lines, but since then there hate been two verses added " a Mrs Townsend: The verses were written to: gether when [got them: Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, that Mar? went . * And everywhere pb.

Evidently there was no doubt in Mrs. Tyler's mind that she was the Mary of the. poem, and that the. romantic john Roujstone wr it... She was generally accepted, as' the original "Mary"--even now her cousin basks in reflected glory, And yet the poems is claimed for an author other than John Renlstone, by a woman, ant ea "feminist" writer formidably named Sarah Josepha Buell ale, In 1827, according to Anne Hollings worth Wharton, Dr. Lowell Mason in- troduced singing fito the public schools. 'of Boston. He hed Mrs, Sarah Hale and other writers ta furnish verses suitable for children, Mrs. Hale, writes Mrs.- Wharton, - "composed a series of little poems for 'children. which were set to music, and sung in the schools of Bofton, and 'afterward throughout the comittry, Among thse' were the well-known If ever I see, on bush or tree, 'vtng birds in their prettv nest, to take as much care of it as a mother | verses by 1 used to wash it{ for Our Children." her I called.

Even if this latter and best known poem were not founded upon an inci dent in the writer's own childish ex- perience, it was unquestionably inspired by her familiarity with and her affec- tion for domestic animals." Now, Mrs. Hale was an accomplished lady--of this there can be no doubt. She wrote, among other things, "The Ladies' Book of Cookery," "Li eria, or Mr. Peyton's Experiment," "Manners, or Happy Homes and Good Society All the Year Round." "Northwood. or Life North and South," Sketches. of "Ameri- can Character," and "Woman's Record or Sketches of All Distinguished Wo- nen from Creation to 1854." Also she edited Godey's Lady's Book.- and was prominent in the "women's rights" agi- tation What is more important, she was in- fluential in bringing about the establish- ment of Thanksgiving Day in the United States as d national institution: But Mary herself gives the credit not to Mrs. Hale but to John Roulstone, who was, it has been discovered, a nep- hew of the Rev.. Lémuel Capen of Sterling, Mass. Ig her interesting "The Frue Story of th Real Mary and the Real Lamb," published by Frederick A, Stokes, Fannie M Dickinson stipports this theory, and adds: "In 1829, in a hook 'of noems for children, published by Mrs. Sarah Jdseph. three dnzas vere added to these" Now, "Mr. Sarah Joseph" is probably "Mrs Sarah { Josepha Hale™ It is possible that Mrs. Hale included y other authors in her "Songs !
