 pond to get rid, now that her object was accom- 

 plished, ui" her very disagreeable non-aquatic

 at side of Hie pond. The poor old hen looked 

 mrnful enough for a few days, ami then went 

 laying again. As fast as tbe other hens came 

 off, the wild goose would make her appearance 

 with her adopted children, aud with her own, 

 assisted by their influence, but a short time would 

 intervene before she would cut ice tho goslings 

 away from the hens and introduce tbem to their

 like a true martyr, concluded to make the best of
