Mary wan very distressed, but as the lamb refused to leave her, she allowed it to Nie down under her desk, covering it with her shawl But, alas, when it came time for Mary's class to recite and she wa called up to the teacher's desk the lamb followed her. It greatly amus- ed the children and the teacher wa obliged to have ft shut up in the adjoining woodshed until the dis missal of the school. stone was visiting the school that day and a few days after this he rode up to the rschool house and gave Mary a piece of paper on which was written the first two | verses of the now well known | rhyme. The remaining verses were afterwards added by someone else The lamb lived to a good old age land was finally killed by an enrag- ed. cow. Of course Mary felt ex- ceedingly sorry over the death of the lamb, and to comfort her Mra. Sawyer made her a pair o fstock ings from the lamb's fleece. In the course of time Mary was married to a Mr. Tyler and went to live in Somerville near Boston. Th stockings were carefully preserved by her, and when talk arose of tear- ing down the olf South church In Toston, a large fair was held to get money to save it. Mary, who was then an old lady, raveled out the stockings, and cutting the yarn into wmall pleces, and fastening each plece on a card to which she wr her autograph. These sold rapidly at the bazaar and a large amount of money was thus raised to ald the old South church, Ceorge Vanderbilt's Pigs.
