A TREASURY OF STORIES, JINGLES AND RHYMES.

SPRING WONDER.

OVELOCKS and ‘Sweetlips,
Rose and Kiss-me-quick,
All wonder, wonder, wonder

At the downy baby chick.

‘““Cheep, cheep,” the chick says;
The meaning can you tell?
‘“‘T wonder, wonder, wonder

At the world outside the shell!”

O big world, O bright world,
And wider than they know,
Be good to little chirping chicks
That wonder at you so!
Flelen Gray Cone.
