Thus she made many happy people miserable. One
day sister witch came to see her and was shown
into where sat a horrible dragon with
three heads, beautiful princess The sister

could not tell what they had formerly been
Now, not far from the witch's dwelling there

but could not imagine why she had such a great
affection for a hideous dragon and natu-
rally jealous.

with thrust of his sword. Turning TO the
princess to ask for her hand once more. what was
his surprise find that the princess had vanished,
and in her place sat a beautiful nightingale!

Singing birds and fragrant flowers,
Come to US once more
Come to us with honey bees,
Brides singing in the trees,
We thy days adore.
Come 10 US with fruits and flowers,
Bright green grass and shady bowers,
Come TO US with thy blue sky,
And the golden sun on high.
Lilies pure and roses fair,
Sending fragrance on the air,
Bring TO US thy gentle showers,
Making green the willing bowers.
Bring the fields of waving grain
That mature by sun and rain;

Thou hast beauties without measure

Thou art lovelier than the rest

THE ROY WHO LAUGHS.

I know a funny little boy,
The happiest ever born;
His face is like q beam OF JOY.
Although his clothes are torn
I saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for a grOan;
But how ne laughed Do you suppose
He struck his funny bOne2
There's sunshine in each word he speaks,
His laugh is something grand;
Its ripples ovsrrun HIS cheeks
Like waves on snowy sand
He laughs the moment he awakes,
And till the day is done;
The school room for a joke he takes;
His lessons are but fun
No matter how the day may So
You cannot make him cry;
He's worth a dozen boys I know
Who pOut and nope and sigh.
