LITTLE ONES AT HOME.

nnn aes

“For every time that she tries

Some things she’d be paid for to make,
And lays down the baby, it cries,

And that makes my sick brother wake.

“T go to the school, where I’m taught
Of One who’s so wise and so good ;

He knows every action and thought,
And gives e’en the raven his food.

“ And He, I am sure, who can take
Such fatherly care of a bird,

Will never forget or forsake

The children who trust in his word.

  

“ And now, if I only can sell
The matches I brought out to-day,

I think I shall do very well,

And mother’ll rejoice at the pay.”

“Fly home, little bird,” then I thought,
“Fly home full of joy to your nest ;”

For I took all the matches she brought,

And Mary may tell you the rest.
