Miss Sophia.
But little girls should never climb,

Her frock was caught upon a nail.
She lost her hold, and, sad to tell,
Was hurt and bruis'd—for down she fell!

The New Penny.

To stop at a shop,

Or take home a cake,
By spending her pretty new penny.

The Canary.
Mary had a little bird,

Sweetest notes he always sung,
Which much delighted Mary;
Often where his cage was hung,
She sat to hear Canary.

Crumbs of bread and dainty seeds
She carried to him daily,
Seeking for the early weeds,
She deck'd his palace gaily.

To friends who love you truly.

Lucy and Dicky.
Miss Lucy was a charming child,
She never said, "I wont!"
If little Dick her playthings spoil'd,
She said, "Pray, Dicky don't."

He took her waxen doll one day,
And bang'd it round and round,
Then tore its legs and arms away,
And threw them on the ground.

His good Mamma was angry quite,
And Lucy's tears ran down;
But Dick went supperless that night,
And since has better grown.

Falsehood Corrected.
And Thomas saw him with the cat,
(Though Jacky did not know of that)
And told papa the trick;
He saw him take a slender string,
And round poor pussy's neck then swing
A very heavy brick.

Determin'd to correct him then,
And never was he known again,
Such naughty things to do.
