This bottle you see,
Holding water quite clear,
Is to wash Mary's hands,
Till they cleanly appear.

In little Mary's room were placed near at hand,
This elegant snuffers, and sweet pretty stand.

These plates you admire for being so neat,
Held little Mary's pudding, her pie, or her meat.

Little Mary was eating her breakfast when she saw a Robin red-breast
standing on a rail, at a little distance; she gathered up the crumbs as
fast as she could, and threw them out of the window upon the gravel
walk. As soon as the bird observed the bread, he jumped down off the
rail, and began picking up the crumbs: but Mary, eager to shew her love
to her little visitor, threw out more crumbs, which frightened it
away.

This is the Crocus that grew in little Mary's garden by the side of the

A traveller and his little dog, one day, wanted to get to the other side
of a river; but the man was so very poor he could not find money
enough to pay the boatman for taking him over. Little Mary, who was
always very good, seeing his distress, gave him all the money she had in
her pocket, wished him a safe journey, and went home with a light
heart, having done a good action.
