	POLLY. "Lilliput Levee." Brown eyes, straight nose; Dirt pies, rumpled clothes. Torn books, spoilt toys ; Arch looks, unlike a boy's; Little rages, obvious arts; (Three her age is), cakes, tarts; Falling down off chairs ; Breaking crown down-stairs; Catching flies on the pane; Deep sighs, cause not plain ; Bribing you with kisses For a few farthing blisses. Wide-awake, as you hear, " Mercy's sake, quiet, dear!" New shoes, new frock ; Vague views of what's o'clock, When it's time to go to bed, And scorn stiblime for what's said. Folded hands, saying prayers; Understands not, nor cares;		Thinks it odd; smiles away; Yet may God hear her pray! Bed-gown white ; kiss dolly ; Good-night! that's Polly. Fast asleep, as you see; Heaven keep my girl for me!
			THE LITTLE BOY AND THE STARS. Aunt Effie's Rhymes. You little twinkling stars that shine Above my head so high, If I had but a pair of wings I'd join you in the sky. I am not happy lying here, With neither book nor toy, For I am sent to bed because I've been a naughty boy. If you will listen, little stars, I'll tell you all I did: I only said I would not do The thing that I was bid! I'm six years old this very day, And I can write and read ; And not to have my own way yet Is very hard, indeed.
