"Iw1sh that Rcbccca was hcre:''
To know that Miss Ellen were trying,
In the brick range, a fro to makc;
And 'twould be no small satisfaction
To know she had burned the hccf-stcak.
10 know she had burned the beefsteak.
When twilight approaches tho season
When supper has got to be got
Does somc one sigh then for ''Rcbccca,"
And mourn that Rebccca IS not!
Do the birds in their cage in the Kitchen
Keep silence when am away;
Will 1t have an effect on the number
or eggs they're accustomed to lay!
OF eggs they're accustomed to 1ay.
wonder who sota out the table
When the hour for breakfast draws nigh,
When tile fires to be lit In the parlor,
And the sausage meat'a ready to FRY.
Aud who rings their bell in tile morning.
Toawaken the household from sleep.
I am sure II the cakes should be sour,
They'll think Of 1.ebecca and weep.
They'll think Of Rchccca and weep.
Who goes to the door when the bell rings:
And Ecours the lining-room floor.
Miss Ellen might answer the ringing!
But she certainly couldn't do more.
Oh, surely, they'll mourn for Ncbecca
And regret she's gone to her home;
They'll be sorry they scofded Hcbccca
