The prettier the hetteri
Pat her cheek, and when
She wants to kiss yea.-let her.
Keep her in the house.
There she'll cook your mutton;
Darn your jaoket too,

Mover mind ths lots
OF her aunts and cousins
AJAX them to "drop in;"- -
Dins them all by dozena
One of these odd days,
You'll feel full one inch taller;
When you see her hug
A chopping little squaller.
