THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Sounds from the Nursery.
What rumble-tumble,
What a whoop and call!
Come in merry tumble
Through the upper hall,
Mamie, Bob, and Wally,
Gertrude, sweet and fair,
Aren't they bright and jolly?
Playing Grizzly Bear.
Hear them shout and scamper
AS the bear growls near!
But, ali there comes damper-
Bobbie cries with fear
Down he quickly tumbles-
There-he's mp again.
The bear, he gently mumbles,
81 won't hurt grain"
On, with fresh reliance
Bobby gayly runs;
All, with brave defiance
Shoot with mimic guns.
The bear rolls over, dying,
Again Bob's cries we hear,
And on the floor he's trying
To wake his Wally dear"
The bear jumps up quite sprightly
For one so very dead,
And calls out loud and brightly
"'Tis time we bears were fed"

WNsLow, the Boston forger, owned
two newspapers, the Post and the Meas.
The former appeared in the morning,
Democratic and License, and the latter
in the afternoon, Republican and Pro-
hibition. Winslow had no principles of
his own which he was not wiling to ex-
change for money. He was clergyman
turned politician and q rascal to the
fnger-tips. The Boston Nea0s says
there is no use in calling him "Rever-
end" since he abandoned the clerical
profession two years ago.

"Pn Paw You for That"

A hen trod on a ducks foot. She did
not mean to do it, and it did not hurt
much. But the duck said, "I'n pay
you for that!" So the duck flew at the
hen; but, as she did so, her wing struck
an old goose, who stood close by. "I'H
pay you for that |" cried the goose, and
she flew at the duck; but, as she die 50,
her foot tore the fur of cat, who was
just then in the yard. "I'I pay you for
that p cried the cat, and she few at the
goose; but, as she did SO, her tail
brushed the eye of a sheep, who was
near. ''I'll pay you for thatl' cried
the sheep, and he ran at the cat; but, as
he did so, his foot hit the foot of dog,
who lay in the sun. "I'll pay you for
that !" cried he, and heran at the sheep;
but, as he did that, his leg struck an old
COW, who stood by the gate. s'l'H pay
you for that '' cried she, and she ran at
the dog; out, as she did SO, her horn
grazed the skin of horse, who stood by
tree. "IIl pay you for that |" cried
he, and ne ran at the COW. What a run
there was The horse few at the COW,
and the COW at the dog, and the dog at
the cat, and the cat at the goose, and the
goose at the duck, and the duck at the
hen. What noise they made, to be
surel s,'Hi, hi What is all this !"
cried the man who had the care of them;
6 I cannot have this noise. You may
stay here" he said to the hen. But he
drove the duck to the pond, and the
goose to the field, and the cat to the
barn, and the sheep to his fold, and the
dog to his house, and the COW to her
yard, and the horse to his stall. Gill

When you see a boy with a splinter

Your father would never pay twelve

When your mother is frying dough
nuts, and you're hungry, it don't make
any difference how her hair is combed,
or if it is combed at all or not; just only
tell her that she looks SO handsome with
her hair done up in that way, and she
will feed you on hot doughnuts till you

When a sack of peanuts gets busted

Why is the world like your father 2
This is a hard conundrum, which you

the world is round always, like ball !;
but your father is round only of Satur-
day afternoon early, just when you don't
want him, and when the circus IN the

their detention on the ground that war
