I like little pussy, her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm;

So I'll not pull her tail nor drive her away,

But pussy and I very gently will play ;

She shall sit by my side, and I'll give her some food,
And she'll love me because I am gentle and good.

I'll pat little pussy and then she will pur,
And thus show her thanks for my kindness to her;
I'll not pinch her ears nor tread on her paw,
Lest I should provoke her to use her sharp claw;
I never will vex her nor make her displeased,
For cats do not like to be worried and teased.

MARY'S LAMB.

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day-
That was against the rule;

It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.

So the teacher turned him out;
But still he lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear.

* It is understood in this and the succeeding lessons that the names of the objects are to be written upon the slates, and that a stanza is to be learned in connection with each lesson.

Then he ran to her and laid
His head upon her arm,
As if he said, "I'm not afraid;
You'll keep me from all harm."

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"

The eager children cry;

"Oh, Mary loves the lamb, you know," The teacher did reply.

CRADLE SONG.

What does little birdie say
In her nest at peep of day?

"Let me fly," says little birdie,

[ocr errors]

Mother, let me fly away."

"Birdie, wait a little longer,

Till the little wings are stronger;"
So she waits a little longer,

Then she flies away.
