LITTLE ONES AT HOME.

THE WORK-BAG.

Come here, I’ve got a piece of rag,
To make you such a pretty bag;
Indeed, you will not often see

So nice a bag as this shall be.

And when it’s done, I’ll show you, too,
The other things I have for you:

This book’s to put your needles in,
And that, you know, ’s a pincushion.

And then you need not lose a minute,
But if you always keep them in it,
You never more will need to say,

“T wonder where they’re hid away!

Pray, somebody, do try and look :

My thimble’s lost, and needle book ;”
But then the pleasant sound shall be,
“They ’re in my work-bag—I shall see!”

Taylor.

THE HONEST BOY.

Once there was a little boy
With curly hair and pleasant eye,
A boy who always told the truth,

- And never, never told a lie.
