THE BROWNIES IN CHINA.

Another said: “’T is well that they

For if the sea they venture o’er
They ‘ll find small welcome at the shore.”
The Brownies climbed the towers grand
That are so common in the land,
And freely did their views exchange
About the architecture strange.
Said one: “Not often do we find
A place where builders are so kind.
Here shelves abound where one can stop
And rest while climbing to the top:
By easy stages we can rise
@& And view the land that round us lies,
| And what seemed like a trying task
Is sport as good as one could ask.
No slippery spire of tin or slate,

We here encounter as we go

But wood that suits
both hand and toe,

And they must be but
common people

Who lose their hold on
such a steeple.”
