Is an Orange,
So juicy and sweet.

A Pine-apple,
Both are good to eat.

DOLLY'S CLOTHES.
I want to make your things look nice,
Dolly--because, you see,
To-morrow evening Cousin Jane
Is coming here to tea.
Your muslin skirt is white and stiff--
I'm very glad of that;
But as my little iron's cold,
The tucks will not lie flat.
Jane's doll will come--she makes its clothes
Herself, and very neatly;
And when she brings it visiting,
She dresses it up sweetly.
When I put on your pretty frock,
Your sash, and sleeve-knots blue,
I really think that you will be
Quite a smart dolly too.

THE KITTEN.
Wanton droll, whose harmless play
Beguiles the rustic's closing day,
When drawn the evening fire about,
Sit aged crone and thoughtless lout;
Come, show thy tricks and sportive graces,
Thus circled round with merry faces.
Backward coiled, and crouching low,
With glaring eyeballs watch thy foe.
The house wife's, spindle whirling round,
Or thread, or straw, that on the ground
Its shadow throws, by urchin sly,
Held out to lure thy roving eye.
