LITTLE ONES AT HOME.

So cumtneeutaneemeriieeapemanmnsinmcmaamnsmmmmn tte
Wherever I am bid to go,
I'll cheerfully obey,
Nor will I mind it much, although
I leave some pretty play.

When I am bid, I’ll freely bring
Whatever I have got,

And never touch a pretty thing,
If mother tells me not.

When she permits me, I may tell
About my little toys ;

But if she’s busy or unwell,
I must not make a noise.

And when I learn my hymns to say,
And work, and read, and spell,

I will not think about my play,
But try to do it well.

For God looks down from heaven on high,
Our actions to behold,

And he is pleased when children try
To do as they are told. Taylor.

 

FAITH IN GOD.

I knew a widow very poor,
Who four small children had:
The oldest was but six years old,
A gentle, modest lad. |
