THE BRIGHT LITTLE NEEDLE.
by wooDwoarH.


The gay bellies Of fashion may boast of excelling
In waltz or coiillion, --at whist or quadrie;
And seek admiration by vauniingly telling
or drawing and painting, and musical skill;
But give me tho fair one, In country or city,
Whose home and its duties are dear 10 her heart
Who cheerfully MARBLES some rusiicai duty,
While plying the needle with exquisite art,
The bright little needle, 1.-The swift little needle,
The needle directed by beauty and art.
III love have potent, magical token, FL.
a talisman ever ress,less and true
A charm that Is never evaded or broken,
A wiichery certain the heart 10 subdue,-
lis this,-and his armory never has furnished
SO keen and unerring, or polished dart,
Let beauty direct in, SO pointed and bnrnished,
And on Il is certain Of touching The heart
Be wise, then, We maidens nor seek admiration,
:, BY dressing for conquest, and flirting with all;
You never, whaie'er be your fortune or station,
Appear half so lovely at route or at ball,
AS gaily convened at a work covered table,
Each cheerlully active and playing her part,
Beguiling the task with a song or fable,
And plying the needle with exquisite art.
