THE MODERN MOTHER GoosE.-
There wns an Old woman who lived in shoe;
She had 40 many children she didn't know what
TO do;
TO make them behave and stop their noise,
She went to Won Santen's and bought them some
toys.
An ye mothers who are troubled like old Mother
Goose,
Take your children to Won san,cn's and turn
them loose.
