say
That all her friends love her, and wish her so happy,
And bring her sweet flowers upon her birthday.

"And won't it be lovely, in beautiful sunshine,
The table spread under the great apple tree,
To see little Phillis--that dear little Phillis--
Look smiling all round as she pours out the tea!"

THE LITTLE QUEEN'S COMING.

With Roses--red Roses,
We'll pelt her with Roses,
And Lilies--white Lilies we'll drop at her feet;
The little Queen's coming,
The people are running--
The people are running to greet and to meet.

Then clash out a welcome,
Let all the bells sound, come,
To give her a welcoming proud and sweet.
How her blue eyes will beam,
And her golden curls gleam,
When the sound of our singing rings down the street.

ON THE WALL TOP.

Dancing and prancing to town we go,
On the top of the wall of the town we go.
Shall we talk to the stars, or talk to the moon,
Or run along home to our dinner so soon?

=================================

[Illustration]

ON THE WALL TOP.

So high--so high on the wall we run,
The nearer the sky--why, the nearer the sun,
If you give me one penny, I'll give you two,
For that's the way good neighbours do.

TIP-A-TOE.

Tip-a-Toe,
See them go;
One, two, three--
Chloe, Prue, and me;
Up and down,
To the town.
A Lord was there,
And the Lady fair.
And what did they sing?
Oh, "Ring-a-ding-ding;"
And the Black Crow flew off
With the Lady's Ring.

MAMMAS AND BABIES.

"My Polly is so very good,
Belinda never cries;
My Baby often goes to sleep,
See how she shuts her eyes.

"Dear Mrs. Lemon tell me when
Belinda goes to school;
And what time does she go to bed?"
"Well, eight o'clock's the rule.

"But now and then, just for a treat,
I let her wait awhile;
You shake your head--why, wouldn't you?
Do look at Baby's smile!"

[Illustration]

"Dear Mrs. Primrose will you come
One day next week to tea?
Of course bring Rosalinda, and
That darling--Rosalie."

"Dear Mrs. Cowslip, you _are_ kind;
My little folks,
