Six dear, little, frolicksome kittens-O my!

Six nice, little tails whitfield off to a point;
Six pairs of blue eyes staring wildly around
No end of white paws dancing over the ground.

And Mamma, just whisk your old tail now, for
play"
It's me. ew" and meow, and ''pur-r-r," and
all that
It's nip of the ear and a hug and pat
A spring and clutch, grand kitten melee.
Then one head bobbing up-psh! scatl scamper

Now, pray you, be quiet, you mschievous elves
La the pantry doors open-theyre helping
themselves
See! Topsy is whlsking the cream pot about
She's got her head in, but she can't get it outl
And Snuff has been shutting the mustard
me-ewl
And Snarey is in a delectable stew.
Hol Bridget is coming-where, where shall we
fly?
She's waving the poker-there's wrath in her
eye
Up, quick, to the haymow-dear dear! what
fright
One. two, three-where are you? four, five, six
all right. :.
Now never again risk your lives for such pelf;
The risk, and the goOdies-Fll take them myself

Beneath this humble slab
Reposeth Madame Young,
Who, for lack of breath,
Hath learnt to use her tongue.
In life she ruled her man,
Until the day of dying,
And then repented not,
For in the ground she's lying.
Her mourning husband writes:
L must my loss endure;
Though worth her weight in gold,
How blessed are the poor"
