There l. a beautiful moral in the follow
ing efasion from the ever sweet muse Of
Mrs sigourney.-ALB. Eve. JoUR.
THE LADY-BUG AND THE ANT.
The Lsdy- Bug sat in the roses heart,
Ard smiled with pride and seon,
Az she saw plain drest ant 60 BY,
win heavy grain Of corn
O. ne drew ne curtains Of dsmssk round,
And adjusted her siIken vest.
Making her GAS ofs drop Of dew
That lays in The roses breast.
Then she lauehed % loud. that the Ant look ID up,
And sesiDg her naughty face,
Took no more notice, but travelled on
At ihe same Industrious pace;
But sudden blast Of winter came,
And rudeIy swept the ground.
And down The rose with the Lady Bug bent,
And scattered its leaves around.
Then the houselsss Lady was much amazed.
For she knew not where to 90,
And hcarse November's early blast
Had brought with Il rain and snow:
Her wings were chilled and her feet were cold,
A she wished for the Ants warm cell,
And what she did. in the winry storm,
I'm sure cannot tell
Bot the careful Ant was In her nest,
With her little ones by her side,
She taught them III, like herself to toll,
Nor mind the sneer OF pride:
And I thought, % I sat at close Of day,
Eating my bread and milk.
Hwss wiser 10 work and improve my time,
Then BE- idle and dress in silk.
