A JOLLY BOOK
How can they put in black and white
What little children think at
night,
When lights are out and prayers are said,
And you are all
tucked up in bed?

Such funny dreams go dancing through
Your head, of things nobody
knew,
Or saw, or ever half believes!--
They're all inside these
singing leaves.
And little children laugh and go
A-ring-a-round-a-rosy-O;
And
birds sing gay--you'd almost think
You listened to a bobolink.
Look at the pictures, one by one!
The rhymes are only half the fun.

It laughs and bubbles like a brook--
My pretty, jolly jingle-book!
MR. TONGUE
A little red man in a little red house
With gates of ivory!
He
_might_ stay there, as still as a mouse,
And nobody could see;
But
talk he will, and laugh he will,
At everything you do;
And come to
the door and peep, until
I know his name--don't you?
KISSES
"Here's a kiss for every year,
And here is one to grow on!"
Father
says and mother says
And auntie says, and so on.
"Here's a pat and there's a pat!"
If growing comes of kisses,
I know
how one girl found a way
To grow as big as this is!
THE TRIALS OF TRAVEL
Boohoo, boohoo, boohoo, boohoo!
My mother says I can't take Sue

And Grace and Maud and Clarabel
And Ruth and Beth and sweet
Estelle,
Unless I pack them with our things.
Oh dear! oh dear! my
heart it wrings
To put them in that hot, dark place,
With paper
wrapped around each face.
I'm sure they all would suffocate
Or
meet some other dreadful fate.
I'd gladly take them on my arm
And
keep them safe from every harm,
But mother says that that won't do;

She draws the line at more than two.
I'd like to know what she

would say
To sending me packed in a tray.
REBECCA DEMING MOORE.
THE QUARREL
The Wooden Dog and the China Cat
Face to face in the doll-house sat,

And they picked a quarrel that grew and grew,
Because they had
nothing else to do.
Said the dog, "I really would like to hear
Why
you never stir nor frisk nor purr,
But sit like a mummy there."
Up spoke in a temper the china puss,
Glad of an opening for a fuss:

"Dear Mr. Puppy, I can't recall
That I ever heard you bark at all.

Your bark is a wooden bark, 'tis true,
But as to that," said the China
Cat,
"My mew is a china mew."
So they bristled and quarreled, more and more,
Till the baby came
creeping across the floor.
He took the cat by his whiskers frail,
He
grasped the dog by his wooden tail,
And banged them together--and
after that
Left them, a wiser Wooden Dog
And a sadder China Cat.
Now, children, just between you and me,
Don't you think in the future
they will agree?
NANCY BYRD TURNER.
MY PLAYMATES
When Willie comes to visit me
We play menagerie.
He says,
"Pretend that you're a lamb,
And I'll a lion be."
Then he begins to
growl and roar
And make a dreadful noise.
I don't mind much when
he goes home;
It's hard to play with boys.
When Julia comes to visit me
I am her waiting maid,
While she's a
lady, grand and stern.
Of her
