A TREASURY OF STORIES, /INGLES AND RHVMES.

CANADIAN CHILD.

- AY little cousin
Beyond the Great Lakes
(A darling rose-bud
Amid the white flakes !)

How far is it,
pray,
To the foot of
the hill?”
“A swallow’s
flight
So smooth and
so still!”

‘‘ And, prithee, how far
je Tothe top of the hill?”
“Oh, a snail’s pace
With a patient will!”
