There came q little blackbird

A hundred, aye, a thousand times,

"Little Bo-peep had lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
And bring their tails behind them"
Thousands of children have ex-
ercised their little wits in solving the
nursery riddles; ~
"Thirty white horses upon red hill,
Now they tramp-noH they champ-now they
stand still.
.'Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had great fall;
Threscore men and threescore more
Can'tput Humpty Duinpty as he was before"

Lies in summer,
And grows with IFS root upwards"
We cannot say whether the
school boys now use the same forms
ofplay that we did, but if they have
got over such Stiffness, we see no
very great ground for rejoicing
Whether or not the boys choose the
victims at play by the old formulary,
Hickory chickory dock,
The meuse ran up the clock,
The clock struck enc,
The mouse was gonE

Or, when they run a plank across a
log for the purpose of playing See
Saw they do or do not chant, as
they go up and down, how
"Margery Daw, ~
Sold her bed and laid upon straw"
of one thing we have no doubt that
many children on their nurses
knees
s'Ride cock-horse to Bunbury cross,
To see an old lady upon white horse;
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes,
She will have music wherever shegoes."
A poor fellow that had been I'M
fortunate enough TO bury three wives
unfortunate because he had them
to bury!) briefly wrote tEeir biog-
raphy:
THE WORLD, THE FLERH AND THE DEVIL.
My first wife was lady whose dominant passion
Was thorough devotion to parties and fashion;
My second, regardless Of conjugal duty,
Was only the worsefor her wonderful beauty.
My third was vixen IN temper and life,
Without one essential to make good wife.
Jubilate! at last in my freedom reyel,
For am clear of the world, the flesh and the Devil
Addison was an elegant writer,
but the following to an 'ilI-favored
LADY, was decidedly more unhand-
some in him than the lady could
have been:
While IN the dark on thy soft hand hung,
And heard the tempting syren in thy song,
What flames, what darts, what anguish endured!
But when the candle entered was cured!
But we will give a decidedly sharp
,eply to this sort Of thing and then
make friends;
As Harry one day was abusing the sex,
As things that in courtship but studied to vex,
Ard in marriage but, sought TO enthraIl;
ANCfci oclu nate, lie FAMILY With.
His fsther agreed so exactly with him,
That he never would marry at allI''
AS we jot down these pleasant
bits Of childish nonseDse-verses, a
hundred more come up to our mind, |
and with each one some sunny
memories of the happy days Of
childhood Charles Lamb, quaint, |
kindly Ella, loved these childish |
prattlings. The story must be well
known how at a quiet little supper
one evening the gentle Ella became
overcome with drink, and
.aking offence at money-changer
who had incautiously been admitted
% the social board with the literary
friends, he persisted in fiercely sing |
,g, in the face of the alarmed bro
ler, the ditty-
'Deedle, decide, dumping, my son John
Went TO bed with his trowsers on;
One shoe of, the other on,
Decide, decide, dumping, my son john"
We expect to have MORALLY Of
ended many very Sensible people |
With our confession of love for the
boye snorsense,' but we have no
oubt of most ,ofthe children being
n our side; and so long as we have
heir sunny smiles-God bless them
we can afford a few stately
frowns.
