For every Ll.

OR ev'ry ill beneath the sun
There is some remedy, or none:
If there be one, then strive to find it;
If there be none, then never mind it.

The ill I mourn’s a scolding wife,

The cure I’ve sought for half my life,

And while she breathes I shall not find it :
Talk of her tongue! I’m forced to mind it.

Little Tom Tucker.

ITTLE Tom Tucker sings for his supper—
What does he long for, white bread and butter ?
How shall he cut it without e’er a knife ?
How shall he marry without e’er a wife ?

Supper now is ended, ‘ Mother, here’s your knife:

Whilst I’ve got you, mother, I'll never want a wife;
Whilst I’ve bread and butter, and you love a song,

I will sing from lunch to tea—in fact, the whole day long.

The Aquarium.

ANET and Marion bought an aquarium,

J Full of tadpoles, and weeds, and small fishes ;

But Grimalkin one day came out angling that way—
Smashed the globe, and brought grief to both misses,
