BECKY WOOD.

Barefoot, pit-a-pat, pious, poor, and good,
Walking to the Meeting-House was little Becky Wood.
Up rode great William Penn--"Little girl," quoth he,
"Jump upon my palfrey here and ride along with me."
Trot, trot, canter, canter, all along the street,
William Penn took Becky Wood with her bare brown feet,
Trot, trot, canter, canter, to the very door.
Never was a barefoot girl quite so proud before.

another fellow."

ICHABOD. "And so I am."

IT SEEMS SO.

"Papa," said Harry, "when a boy keeps on doing something wrong of his
own accord he's wilful, isn't he?"

"Then if he doesn't do nothing of nobody else's accord, he's wontful,
isn't he?"
