rNATuaE's CHILDREN.

When flowers are little
What do you suppose!
They eat simply nothing but dir.
And their old Mother Earth
Piles the bedding so thick.
You'd certaiply think 1t would hurt.
And when they are grown
She dresses them up
In the finest OF beautiful clothea.
But most of them cannot
Be buttoned on tight
For they fall off. as every one knows
At breakfast thcy eat
a portion of dew.
And for lunch they have daylight and
air;
They cry all the while
For dinner OF Sun,
But old Mother Earth doesn't care.
It's shocking to think
They often have bugs
And they bathe in an indifferent way.
For either she turns on
The rain once n month,
Or washes thelrk hard every day.

not to my knowledge-a fairly inti-

Mr. Wells may have to say; we desire
TO aid In presenting to the American
