MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB.
In London ono of the greatest hits in tho Princess' and Aquarium version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is, as we know, the nursery dit-ty,, " Mary had alittlolamb,'' sung by Four Jolly Coons. Here is an edition of tho song in heathen Chinee:— Was gal named Moll had lamb, Ela all sameo whitey snow, Evly place Moll gall walkee, Ba Bahoppeelong too. The celebrated poem has also a Fronch version k La petite Marie had le jeune muttong, |L 'fa wool was blanches a3 ze snow, B&And everywhere La Belle Marie went, PW La jeune muttong was zure to go. J And a German : Dat Mary liaf got ein leedle schaf, ' Mit hair yust like some wool, Und all der blace dot girl did vent, . • Das schaf go like ein fool. ' Lastly, a son of Erin was trying to surround Mary and and her little lamb the other day, and this is the way he did it : Begorra, Mary had a little shape, And the wool was white entoirely ; And wherever Mary wud stir lior sthumps The young shape wud follow her complately.
