LITTLE ONES AT HOME.

  
   

And, “ If you please,” to sister Ann,
Good boys to say are ready ;

And, “ Yes, sir,” to a gentleman,

And, “ Yes, ma’am,” to a lady.

    
      
  
 

 

  

PERSEVERANCE.
Here’s a lesson all should heed—
Try, try, try again.
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try, try, try again.
Let your courage well appear ;
_ Ifyou only persevere,
You will conquer, never fear—
Try, try, try again.

 
       
   
   
 
    
 

Twice or thrice though you should fail,
| Try again.
If at last you would prevail,

Try again.
When you strive, there’s no disgrace,
Though you fail to win the race;
Bravely then, in such a case,

Try, try, try again.
Let the thing be e’er so hard,

Try again.
Time will surely bring reward—
Try again.
