MABEL'S CHARITY.

LITTLE Mabel, while she's sitting

Through the house-is always knitting.

Sure, noble work she's doing
Some sweet charity pursuing
Knitting thus from day to day.
And ! think / hear babel
OF young voices, praising Mabel;
Wishing, too, that they were able
To be so industrious.
And perhaps another feeling
Into their warm hearts is stealing
Which we might call envious.
Yet while weeks and days are going,
And the knitting, too, is growing,
What good work is Mabel showing5
What sweet charity begun?
For there's not a friend or neighbor
Who knows aught of Mabels labor,
Or one good deed she has done.
All, you little folks are guessing,
| dare say, the fact distressing,
Which ! must be now confessing;
A fact that everyone admits

PANSTES.

When pansies came, triAe late,
The garden looked so gay,
They feared there were no eolors left,
Their hearts shook with dismay.
But sunshine kissed them comforted,
And little threads of rain
Came down, with many colors,
And made them grave again.
So one was crowned with purple.
And one with sunshine's gold;
Another blossomed like a fame,
And warmed the Spring from cold.
THE pansies are the dearest"
The children gaily said;
They're like a broken rainbow,
Caught in a garden bed"
