Did you think that Josephine Maud was asleep, 
 Lying down there on the floor in a heap ? 
 Oh, deary me, no! you have made a mistake; 
 Josephine Maud was quite wide awake. 
 
 Then why did she lie there, so long, and so still? 
 I cant bear to tell you, and yet — well, I will ; 
 Josephine Maud was a sad, bad girl, 
 She threw down her doll with a toss and a whirl: 
 
 She crushed its pink nose, she tore off its wig, 
 She whipped her poor doll with a crab- 
 apple sprig; 
 But temper don't last, and when it was past, jf[ 
 Poor Josephine Maud felt very doivncast. 
 
 " Oh ! Josephine Maud! " cried her mother, 
 
 in sorrow, 
 "Now what will you do for a dolly to- 
 morrow? " 
 
 '"Dear! dear! I'm so sorry," said poor Josephine: 
 And seldom since the?i has her temper been seen

 Of the boy who zvent to sea ; 
 For he'd sailor clothes 
 And a sunburnt nose 
 And a laugh that was merry and free ! 
 
 He climbed so fast 
 The topsail past, 
 And he laughed so loud in his glee, 
 Till a stormy blast 
 Blew him off the mast, 
 And a shark ate him up for his tea!

 On a hot summer day, some little fat sparrows 
 Thought 't would be cooling to fly, swift as arrows, 
 Over the wall to a nice shady nook 
 And take a fresh bath in the clear flowing brook ! 
 But they splashed, and they chirped, 
 
 And made such a commotion, 
 That they turned the clear brook 
 
 To a miniature oceaii; 
 And the two little sisters, 
 Who had watched them at play, 
 Laii£lit'dout so gayly, it scared them away.

Oh, come let us play 
 A game of croquet, 
 Cried rosy -checked May 
 
 To her sister one day. 
 
 They played a great game, 
 And then had another ; 
 May won the first, 
 
 But Jane won the other. 
 
/ tell you that 
 I've lost my hat ; 
 It's full of roses red. 
 I do wish that 
 I had my hat. 
 To tie upon my head/ 
 
 I threw it down, 
 Caught up my gown, 
 And ran to catch my cat ; 
 I did not get 
 My little pet, 
 And could not find my hat. 
 
 Now one, tzvo, three, 
 And, oh, dear me ! 
 Whatever shall I dot 
 I've lost my hat 
 And my pet cat, 
 Yes, and my temper too.

 A rosy little baby 
 
 With yellow, yellow hair. 
 
 But, dandelions, dandelions, 
 What can she do ? — 
 
 Pucker up her little mouth

Two tiny shiny negroes, 
 
 Standing there so shy, 
 
 Half hidden in the dripping clothes

 Will she pass them by ?

 See ! the sun has gone to sleep ;

 Soft and white and deep ! 
 Dream of pretty flowers, baby, 
 
 Pink or white or blue. 
 Pretty little dreams, my baby, 
 
 Angels send to you !

 Out from the trees in an unlooked-for place 
 Runs Dorothy Daw with a frightful false-face, 
 
 That grins and glares, 
 
 And thoroughly scares 
 Poor Minnie, who thinks it a terrible sight. 
 
 But, Minnie, don't you mind it / 
 
 There 's a smiling face behind it — 
 Very naughty is Miss Dorothy to give you such a fright.

The bubbles are gay as they float away, 
 And gayly they We blown and wafted to-day 
 Merrily rings the childish laughter, 
 Echoing straight from floor to rafter. 
 Even baby wondering stands, 
 Clapping both her tiny hands. 
 Bubbles are pretty, and float around, 
 But why do they burst when they touch 
 the ground?

There were six 
 Little chicks, 
 And little girls two, 
 And a bush of sweet-brier grew near: 
 " The chicks must be fed" 
 The little girls said. 
 "Here, chickies, here, chickies, come here!" 
 
 
 Then came they at last, 
 The chickens, so fast, 
 A nd ate all the corn they could find ; 
 But one little chick 
 Was not nearly so quick 
 As the others who left him behind !

Down from the sill 
 To a sunnier spot, 
 
 Maud carefully carried 
 Each funny red pot. 
 
 She pulled every weed, 
 She sprinkled each flower, 
 
 She worked hard, indeed, 
 Every day for an hour ; 
 
 And when she had finished. 
 They grew up so bright ; 
 
 She clapped her fat hands, 
 And danced with delight.

" Come hither, 'Brother Toodles,' 
 
 Let me deck your pretty head ; " 
 And quickly round poor Toodles' neck 
 Was hung a wreath of red. 
 
 But Toodles didn't like the leaves; 
 
 He tried to tear them loose ; 
 But, though he madly rushed about, 
 
 He found it was no use.

What have I behind my back ?

 Nothing but my empty hands,

"Oh, papa, dear papa is coming, 
 A long year he 's been far away. 
 Do you wonder we 've cut all tke roses 
 To make his home sunny and gay ? 
 
 "Oh, husk, happy child, with your prattle, 
 I think I hear horses approach,— 
 In a second lay scattered the roses. 
 
 For papa, had sprung from the coach !

 Ah, many were the funny tricks 
 
 That Tricksy was wont to do : 
 
 He 'd rush upon a dozing frog 
 That blinked beside a mossy log, 
 
 And wildly glare and bark at it, 
 And nearly put it in a fit. 
 
 Then calmly Tricksy would walk away, 
 And wag his tail as though to say : 
 " Cowardice is not a virtue — 
 
 Tricksy is not the dog to hurt you / " 
 
 One day a dog that played with him 
 Jumped in the river for a swim. 
 
 Poor Tricksy went after, with a bound, -
