hnk, our readers will agree, manifest considerable
talent 4
Kind friends and parents patrons dear,
II you'll attend with listening
These names, al random jOtted down,
One day, as l walked up from town.
First see approach with smiling face
We Away find him in his place
Little Otis Coopy heeds with care
The lessons taught him anywhere.
Next mark kind and jovial footman,
BY name he's called Alunzo Lutman;
Arithmetic is his delight,
You may be sure he answers right.
The next that comes is Albert Kise,
Who grins more furious than wise;
Bpt when lac tries his lessons to get,
think he is his mothers pet.
OF IIoadeys three, first Gustus comes
With slate in hand to do his sums :"
OF all good boys sure one is he
II you don't know, just come to me.
Though poetry il not my sphere,
This can say, aud without fenr:
Look there and see Eli +. back
better boy nc'er made track.
Next look at one whose lovely face
In AbbIe Phillips doth appear
The hpcst reader we have here.
Another pet is Lucy too,
Whom next wen try to bring In view,
With roses filled her hand she brings,
And often Captain Jinks she sings.
OF Hamptons you Evart and Burt
Two good little boys | would not hurt
EvaTt to read, and Burt to spell
If any beat them, they'll do we'll
Then next comes, he's called Eddie Frck-
fall he had, that made him sick
But, as you see him here to-day,
lie seems the gayest OF the gay"
Next you may my little idler,
OF horses known to be rider
Though, when he tries, he can learn quick
You all know mean Jesse Frick.
The sweetest Of my "little dots"
Is she we call Tiny Fox;
or books and dancing she knows lots.
She never needs harsh words or knocks
OF Fleshmans we three have here,
In one line can make il clear,
The largest one is he called Joe.
Whom I'll introduce, if you don't know.
Next Minnie comes, on tiptoc dancing,
The beams from out her bright eye glancing,
And quick ot tongue and hand is She
As any little girl need be-
For lack of bread need not fear,
Since we Baker have near
Willis and Walter, those bright twins,
Good students are, and have few sins.
Next Lille of the valley see,
sturdy walker too, Is she;
In her class she will soon excel
All others, IL they don't do well.
or Lowdens you've not heard me tell
But one there is, the acknow ledged Belle;
1t all my scholars were as bright,
I'm sure 'twould be my great delight.
OF Wietieldts we have only one,
But Henry is chuck full of fun,
His writing and his drawing tell
That III these branches he'll excel.
Another comes they call him jim,
A lloadley he Is. known for vim,
OF head marks he has got a score,
Can any one Of you show moIet
Two Lntmans are there, Mary, Carrie
May it be long before they marry
Good girls they are, and III their place
No tardy marks their name disgrace
Another one is Charley called,
And little Sarah-they' We not squalled
In school, like many other babies,
Sometimes even grown young ladies.
OF all the bright scholars In my school
This one assure you no fool
Fred Fleshman always IL the pet
And one his Teacher II not forget.
There's Delhert Ross Improvement shows
As can be told by one who knows
In reading he Is doing we'll,
Besides he's learning fast to spell.
Beuoni Phillips next appears
OF whose good conduct have no fears:
with other boys he liar much fun,
Al OIL thew scamper, shout aud run.
OF my young ladies', two you see,
Who read these lines to you and me,
The black haired one il Annie Kise,
Who lesson gets, If once she tries.
The one that's standing by her side
With head erect In noble pride,
Hattie lIuadley Is fair "A dove,
Whom those that know cannot help love.
My scholars names you now have heard,
They all do well, rs I've averred
Now pause moment-let me think,
The task In one irom which | shrink.
For affirm II IL no fun
To finish well what I've begun,
Perhaps I'd better stop this year
And say "Good afternoon" just here.
