The Fledgehog.

ITTLE Neddy Nichols caught a hedgehog full of prickles,
That curled itself into a funny ball ;
But he dropped it in a pail, when out came its head and tail,
And it swam around, and tried thereout to crawl.

 

Spot and Topsy.

USSY sits before the fire Come into the pantry, near,
(She's a ratter rare) ; And you shall have a treat.’
Doggy Spot calls to inquire, But Topsy said, ‘But where’s the cook?
‘ Topsy, are you there ? For I some scruples feel.’
List to me, now pussy dear, ‘She’s for the p’liceman gone to look,

I have found some meat ; And won't disturb our meal.’
