Ass your oil is growing spare

Trim your lamp with greater care.

THE BROWNIES IN THE POLAR REGIONS.

Thus teaching lessons day by day
That may be useful in their way.”

DEAR READER, now the task is through,
But ere we part, a word to you—
Yes, you who traveled hand in hand
With me to watch the Brownie band,
And listened with attentive ear

The prattling of the rogues to hear,
And patiently surveyed the lines

The pen has traced in these designs,—
May you prove always stanch and true
To comrades, and to neighbors, too. —
Be brave when trials fast descend,
And persevering to the end,

And, Brownie-like, you may be blessed—
They seldom fail who do their best.

    
 

With afrienclly wave of hand,
owrxeltives the Brownie band,
