mam-ma cat all this time? She had gone back
to the barn, where all her kit-tens were born, to

had hard work to get in; for John, the man,

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow, |
And every place that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go.



It followed her to school one day,
| Which ws against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school.






_ And so the teacher turned him oul
But still he lingered near,
And patiently did wait about,
Till Mary did appear.

LittLte Miss Effie comes out from the store, O yes, out from the store !
Laden with presents, a dozen or more, O yes, a dozen or more!
Little Miss Effie, I pray you turn, and cheer up the two little hearts that yearn
For a share of the blessings you daily spurn.
Do not be selfish, but try each day,
To help somebody’s sorrow and trouble away,
For Christmas should always be kindly and gay.



DISAPPOINTMENT.

NeEpDIE caught
A lot of fish,
And home he went in glee.
The bottom of
The pail fell out,
O, dear me!
How can I tell the mournful tale
Of Neddie and his old tin pail.



Neddie didn’t know it, though, But when at last he found it out,
And so his heart was glad ; _ A tear stood in his eye,
He hoped to eat fried fish for tea— He looked within his empty pail, —

Wasn't it sad ! : And heaved a sigh.

And thus must end the doleful tale,
Of Neddie and his old tin pail,











THE LITTLE MAY-QUEEN. |

O, THE merry sunbeams! O, the merry sight !
Little lads and lassies ‘neath the sunshine bright !
On the throne of daisies, blossoms in her hair, —
Laughing ’mid her blushes, sits the May-queen fair.
O’er the sunny meadow, clover-blossoms grow,

Thro’ the nodding grasses, spring-time zephyrs blow ;

Buttercups and daisies lift their pretty heads,
And watch the violets peeping from their fragrant beds,
O, the merry May-time, with its charming hours !
With its skies so tender, and its dainty flowers !
Dance away, my children, round your little queen,
May’s bright birth-day honor with a dance upon the green,
O, the little May-queen !
All too shy to say
How she enjoys the honor of being “Queen of May!”

‘BOB'S GAME OF FOOT-BALL.



One day Papa took little Bob to the park, and while
they were there Bob saw the big boys play a game that |
Papa said was foot-ball. Little Bob’s big brother John
- was in the game, and Bob thought it was such fun to

see John kick the ball so far. So when he got home
_ he told baby Bess about it, and he got a ball to
show the little sister.

“Now, Bess,” said Bob, “You must look close, for
they do it as quick as wink. Before you know it the —
ball will be away across the room. N ow, 1 have te

my might. John says so, and he ought to know, for

he just does kick so ‘booful.’”

Bob ied the ball ch all his might, and baby
Bess’ screams brought Mamma, who a up the
darling and rocked and sang to =





her until she got over her fright.
Bob had to think nearly a whole
hour before he could tell why

| they both sat on the floor when
| he kicked so hard.







“CATCH IT IF YOU CAN!

Catcu it if you can now,
Jump, and jump 50 high ;

Surely you and pussy —

Playing ball, I know.

“SHouL-per arms!” said Dick. “Fer-ward,

to the hall where the chil-dren were play-ing
that rain-y day, you would have thought that an
ar-my was march-ing back and forth, they made
such a noise. Then, all at once, the noise
stopped. “The army will lie down, and go
to sleep for the night,” said Dick. The army .

at the sight, that three great red ones fell out

on the floor be-fore she could catch them. |

Just at that mo-ment the boys’ eyes o-pened.

she went too: to-fro! to-fro! ‘Isn't it zzce, mammy!”
she called to her mother in the door, with a spring to
go higher and faster. Oh! oh!—a shriek. Out rushed

Lives in behind our looking-glass;
Whene’er I walk across the floor
Then she comes out to see me pass

And she has playthings just like mine
They always dress her, too, like me.

And then J’'ll ask her to come through
And stay with mea whole long week.
