rACrs AND FANCTEs.


foolish little maiden bought fOOlish little
With a ribbon, and feather, and bit Of lace
upon II.
And that the other maidens of the little town
She thought she'd 90 to meeting the next Sun
day, just to show it.
But though the little bonnet was scarce larger
The getting Of It settled proved to be work Of
time;
So when twas fairly tied all the bells had stopped
their ringing,
And when she Came to meeting, sure enough,
the folks were singing.
So this foolish little maiden stood and waited at
the door;
And she shook her ruffies out behind, and
smoothed them down before.
"Hallelujahl hallelujah!" sang the choir above
s'Hardly knew you! hardly knew you'll" were the
words she thought they said.
This made the little maiden feel so very, rery
cross,
That she gave her little mouth twist, her little
head toss;
For she thought the very hymn they sang was
al about her bonnet,
With the ribbon, and tle feather, and the bit of
lace upon it.
And she would not wait to listen to the sermon
or the prayer,
But battered down the silent street and hurried
up the stair,
Till she'd reachedher little bureau, and in a
band5OX on it
Had hidden, safe from critics eye, her foolish
little bonnet.
Which proves, my little maidens, that each of
you will find
In every Sabbath service but an echo of your
mind;
And that the little head that's filed with silly
little airs
viii never get a blessing from sermons or from
prayers.
