Aunt Bantry.

RUN and come, Aunt Bantry !
The cat’s been in the pantry,
And all our dinner’s gone!
See how she’s clawed it!
How she’s gnawed it !
And left us but a bone!

Curly Locks.

URLY Locks, Curly Locks, will you be mine?
You shall ne’er wash the dishes or ever feed swine;
But shall sit on silk cushions, and sew up a seam,
And shall feed upon strawberries, sugar, and cream.
Curly Locks, Curly Locks, she will be thine ;
For she never washed dishes, and cannot feed swine.
She can work a silk cushion, embroider a seam ;
And don’t she like strawberries, sugar, and cream!
MORAL.

Beware of frail beauty and fancy-work misses ;
From a wife man wants real help as well as sweet kisses.
