TIE PROUD BUN.

The baker-man was kneading buns
His trough was deep and wide
When, much to his surprise, he heard
A small voice by his side.
"oh. make me large and fat it said
And stuff me full of plums,
SO that may attract applause
From every one who
ooh, put a piece of citron in
And make me rich and rare,
That may serve for dukes and earls
Who sumptuously do fare
The baker chuckled in his sleeve
To hear him talk so big,
But thought .I'H put in everything,
And let him run his rig!"
He put in all he had on hand,
And made him rich and rare.
And set him in the wndow-pane,
To make the natives stare.
For, swelled to twice his natural size
With yeast and plums and pride,
Z He scorned the doughtnuts, pies and cakes,
And elboWed them aside

With whom am to dine"
Just then two neWsboys came along
Whose appetites were fine.
: My eye!" they cried, come over here
And see this jolly bun:

And SO the thing was done.
Two morals in this little song
