POet3.U.
THE LADY BUG.

The lady bug sat in the roses heart,
And she smiled with pride and scorn,
As she saw plain dressed ant 60 oy
With heavy grain Of corn.
Then she laughed so loud that the ant
looked up,
Who seeing her naughty face,
Took no more notice but hurried on
At the same industrious pace.
Then she drew her curtains of damask
round,
And adjusted Ter silken vest,
Making her glass OF drop Of dew
That lay in the roses breast.
But a sudden blast OF autumn came,
And rudcly swept the ground.
And down the rose with the lady-bug bent,
And scattered its leaves around;
Then the houselcss lady was much amazed,
And she knew not where TO 90,
For hoarse November's surly blast
Had brought with it rain and snow.
Her wings were chilled and her feet were
cold,
And she wished for the ants warm cell,
Aud what she did in the storm that day,
I'm sure cannot tell.
But the careful ant was in her nest,
With her little ones by her side;
She taught them all like herself to toll,
Nor mind the sneer of pride.
And | thought as sat at the close Of day
Eating my bread and milk,
1t was better to bc wise and jmprove my
mind,
Than to be idle and dressed in silk.
