Master Charles in his boat has reached the shore ; 
 The sea is far behind him — 
 He jumps from the boat ; — turn down the leaf, 
 And see if you can find him. 
 
The 'Squire, in hunting, starts to find 
 The stag turned to a cow. 
 Turn up the leaf — you see him go, 
 Without stopping to make a bow.

In front of the church <*i a pleasant green, 
 A little boy dragging his brother is seen. 
 Now turn down the leaf, and try to see clear, 
 If some more of the family will not appear.

Miss Mary, his sister, her hat in her hand, 
 
 Her brother behind her, we here may see stand. 
 
 But turn up the leaf, and all shaded you see 
 
 The home where they live underneath the green tree 
 
A foolish old man had a jackass to sell ; 
 
 How to get him to market he did not know well. 
 
 On a stick they then swung him, his legs tied together, 
 
 And one end the boy held, the other the father. 
 
 Now turn down the leaf, and learn if you can, 
 
 How they got all along — the ass, boy, and man. 
 
1 hey botn mount the ass, all people to please ; 
 But still there were some who cried, ' Look at these 
 Two great lazy fellows, both riding one ass — 
 The poor beast will certainly fall on the grass.'

 As they travel along, everybody cried — ' Silly ; ' 
 
 So they untied the ass, and up mounted Billy. 
 
 But the people all said that this was not right, 
 
 For the young one to ride while his Pa walked in sight. 
 
 Now turn up the leaf, and perhaps you will spy 
 
 How to please all the people the farmer did try. 
 
Pray, what do you see ? A large covered basket. 
 And wha> is within 1 I thought you would ask it. 
 Now turn up the leaf, and the picture will show 
 What the basket contains, and what you want to know. 
 
Oh, wonderful sight ! — what is it we see ! 
 
 It is stowed with young children as full as may be. 
 But turn down the leaf, and then you will see 
 They are where all good children love dearly to be.

 O 
 
 In school you now see them, just ready to go ; 
 But one little girl has been idling so, 
 She has not said her lesson — but when she has done, 
 These good little children will all hasten home
