wears, be it old or new, must be cut)

be large enough to allow the corn to

OUR YOUNG READERS.
WAS IT A DREAM ?

Little NelPd been "helping mamma" She
had swept the porch and hall,
And had got so tired and hungry that she sat
down by the WALL
Just to rest herself moment, with her
broom across her knee;
When strange thing happened to her, as
she tells the tale to me:
She Just shut her eyes moment, so her little
story runs,
When she went away to somewhere, where
the children gather buns;
They were growing on the bushes, and were
hanging from the trees,
Sweet enough to tempt the palate Of the
honey loving bees.
80, they was the very doodest buns that ever
was" says she,
And she smaeks her lips, remembering, as
she tells the tale to me,
How she ate In that strange country that's
not down on any map,
Bun fruit from the roadside bushes, when
they thought she took nap.
There were lots and lots of children in this
very pleasant place,
And II seemed that all were hungry, and, as
happened In her case
They had come there without knowing how
they came, but all agreed
Twas most delightful country-quite like
fairy land, indeed.
Such jolly, jolly country, where they
played the incest games,
And the children knew each other, though
they couldn't tell their names;
"Dest the bestest place that ever was In"
says little Nell;
"And the buns--0, my!" Words fail her
when their sweetness she would tell.
"How did you get back from Bun-landP
Grandma asks, with laughing eye,
AS she listens to the story; "Did you walk,
or ride, or fly?'
II don't know" Is Nellie's answer, with a
puzzled face and air;
81 tum back all in minnit, but know that
was there"
"Pshaw, you dreamed It," says her brother,
''for saw you fast asleep
On the steps" But "No," says Nellie, with a
faith she means to keep
In that pleasant, pleasant country where
the buns on bushes grow;
"Pm dest sure that went somewhere, an
didn't dream, know"
