KATE GREENAWAY'S APRIL
CHILDREN
BY LAURA E. RICHARDS

Bring your basket, Molly Miller,
Tie your kerchief, Susan Gray,
Come while still the dew-drops twinkle,
Der the hill with us away.
Every field is summing, summing,
Broad its breast meath mornings blue
Every brook is running, running,
Shall we not be running, too?
April calls from hill and valley,
Clad in fairy gold and green;
Bring your posies, Kate and Sally!
Gather round our maiden Queeni
Hark! the woods are ringing, ringing,
Thrushes trill and wood-doves coo;
All h birds are singing, singing,
Shall we not BIZ singing, too2
Columbine, the airy lady,
Mods q greeting, light and free;
Where the leaves are cool and shady,
Vioiets spring for you and me;
Clover-top his red is showing,
Daisies peep in white and gold,
Tulips in h garden glowing
Fiaunt their scarlet brave and bold.
LOOK! the orchards all in flower,
And the white and rosy bloom
Turns ii to a royal bower,
Fairy April's tir~ing-room.
Peach and apple, plum and cherry,
All the air with fragrance
Since the world is making merry,
Shall not we be merry, too2
Leave,your book now, Peter Ponder.
Leave your lambkin, Betty Brown!
Jack and Willy, Maud and Milly,
Tie the cap and kilt the gown!
When h sunbeams gay and glancing
Throw their golden smiles to you
When the leaves are dancing, dancing,
Shall not we be dancing, tool
Ring-around-a-rosy-posy!
Hands across and back again!
Drop your courtesy, Jess and josie;
Swing you partner, Mary Jane!
Trip and skip, and down the middle,
Till the echo cries, "Halloo!
Since tits April plays the fiddle,
1 will come Int dance with youl''

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best

mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these

What is
|ES7I;11:

Castoria is DIR. Samuel Pitchers prescription for Infants
and Children. 1t contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. 1t is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
1t is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Collie. CastOria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and fatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas-
toria is the Children's Panacea-the Mothers Friend.
