AT a house off the stones the bewitching Miss Jones, Who was ill of the fiddle dum dee, Invited Miss Rose with her little pug nose, And a good many others to tea; There was pretty Miss Brown and her elegant frown, With language correct as in print.

And ancient Miss Knight and her oculars bright, Despite of a bit of a squint.

Lauks, I purtest you are wet through.

Really, ma'am,l can't tell, but, as he is very sagacious. It strikes me he took it naturally. I was afraid, during his late temporary illness. His elegant roice might lose its tone, and so I sent to the Chemist's tor a pennyworth of bark. O, bless your heart! You are a kind mama! What, Miss Diggs, I hope you are well? Thank you, ma'am, but I couldn't come belo. E.
