O Dear! what a beautiful Doll

And make it a bonnet to wear.

O, pretty new Doll! it looks fine;
Its cheeks are all covered with red

And, pray, may I take it to bed?

How kind was my sister to buy
This Dolly with hair that will curl
Perhaps if you want to know why,

The good Boy.
When Philip's good mamma was ill,
The servant begg'd he would be still,
Because the doctor and the nurse
Had said, that noise would make her worse.

Make any noise when you are ill."

Sister Frances is sad,
Because Henry is ill;
And she lets the dear lad
Do whatever he will.

Left her own little chair,
And got up in a minute,
When she heard him declare
That he wish'd to sit in it.

Now, from this we can tell,
He will never more tease her;
But, when he is well,
He will study to please her.

The giddy Girl.
Miss Helen was always too giddy to heed
What her mother had told her to shun;
For frequently, over the street in full speed,
She would cross where the carriages run.
What her mother had told her to shun;
For frequently, over the street in full speed,
She would cross where the carriages run.
And out she would go, to a very deep well,
To look at the water below;
How naughty! to run to a dangerous well,
Where her mother forbade her to go!
To look at the water below;
How naughty! to run to a dangerous well,
Where her mother forbade her to go!
One morning, intending to take but a peep,
Her foot slipt away from the ground;
Unhappy misfortune! the water was deep
And giddy Miss Helen was drown'd.
