"A voice upon the prairies, A cry of woman's woe, That mingleth with the autumn blast All fitfully and low." Mrs. Sigourney. The accident to the Sea Lion of the Vineyard occurred very near the close of the month of March, which, in the southern hemisphere, corresponds to our month of September.
We believed more strongly in a religion that is kind to dumb animals and does not have them standing for hours in a cruel storm while they shout "Glory to God."
