Little Pussy.

LOVE little Pussy, because she’s so warm,
And if I don’t hurt her she'll do me no harm;
But if I should tease her, or tread on her tail,
Of course she will scratch me and set up a wail.

— Rey
Pretty Polly.
ARY had a funny bird, He stopped the cabmen as they passed,
A red-polled cockatoo ; And when the men got riled
It said and did things most absurd, He ever for their number asked,
Which I can vouch as true. _ Which made the meekest wild.
It used to ask the cat to dine, Then he could crow, could bark, drink
And then would drink her beer ;
health : But, perhaps, his greatest folly,
But rarely as a host did shine, Which Mary most rejoiced to hear
For most he ate himself. Him say, was, ‘ Pretty Polly!’

Cry, Baby! Cry!

RY, baby! cry!
Put your finger in your eye,
And tell your mother the reason why.

Laugh, baby! laugh!
Ah! that is far better by half,
Than to boo-oo-o0 like a calf.
