XIII.

The New Dolls.

Miss Jenny and Polly
Had each a new Dolly,
With rosy-red cheeks and blue eyes;
Dress'd in ribbons and gauze:
And they quarrel'd because
The dolls were not both of a size!

O silly Miss Jenny!
To be such a ninny,
To quarrel and make such a noise!
For the very same day
Their mamma sent away
Their dolls with red cheeks and blue eyes.

XIV.

Naughty Sam.

Tom and Charles once took a walk,
To see a pretty lamb;
And as they went, began to talk
Of little naughty Sam,
Who beat his younger brother, Bill,
And threw him in the dirt;
And when his poor mamma was ill,
He teased her for a squirt.

And "I," said Tom, "wont play with Sam,
Although he has a top;"
But here the pretty little lamb
To talking put a stop.

XV.

The dizzy Girl.

As Frances was playing, and turning around,
Her head grew so giddy, she fell to the ground;
'Twas well that she was not much hurt:
But O, what a pity! her frock was so soil'd!
That had you beheld the unfortunate child,
You had seen her all covered with dirt.

Her mother was sorry, and said, "Do not cry,
And Mary shall wash you, and make you quite dry,
If you'll promise to turn round no more."
"What, not in the parlour?" the little girl said,
"No, not in the parlour; for lately I read
Of a girl who was hurt with the door.

"She was playing and turning, until her poor head
Fell against the hard door, and it very much bled,
And I heard Dr. Camomile tell,
That he put on a plaister, and covered it up,
Then he gave her some tea, that was bitter to sup,
Or perhaps it had never been well."

XVI.

Charity.

Do you see that old beggar who stands at the door?
Do not send him away,—we must pity the poor;
Oh! see how he shivers!—he's hungry and cold!
For people can't work when they grow very old.

Go, set near the fire a table and seat;
And Betty shall bring him some bread and some meat.
I hope my dear children will always be kind
Whenever they meet with the aged or blind.

XVII.

Careless Maria.

Maria was a careless child,
And griev'd her friends by this:
Where'er she went,
Her clothes were rent,
Her hat and bonnet spoil'd,
A careless little miss.

Her gloves and mits were often lost,
Her tippet sadly soil'd;
You might have seen
Where she had been,
For toys all round were toss'd,
O, what a careless child.

One day her uncle bought a toy,
That round and round would twirl,
But when he found
The litter'd ground,
He said, "I don't tee-totums buy
For such a careless girl."

XVIII.

Frighted by a Cow.

A very young lady,
With Susan the maid,
Who carried the baby,
Were one day afraid.

They saw a Cow feeding,
Quite harmless and still;
Yet scream'd without heeding
The man at the Mill,

Who, seeing the
