Happy chimney-corner days,
Sitting safe in nursery nooks,
Reading picture story-books?_

GEOGRAPHY, TRAVEL, AND DESCRIPTION
When the ice lets go the river,
When the wild-geese come again,
When the sugar-maple swells,
When the maple swells its buds,
Then the little blue birds come,
Then my little Blue Bird came.

The Golden Goose Book.
Warne. 2.00
Mr. Brooke has appropriately illustrated these old favorites: The
Golden Goose, The Story of the Three Bears, The Story of the Three
Little Pigs, and Tom Thumb. Of the four, the most popular is the tale
of the adventures of little Tom, the favorite dwarf of the Court of
King Arthur.
"Long time he lived in jollity,
Beloved of the Court,
And none like Tom was so esteemed
Amongst the better sort."
LA FONTAINE, JEAN DE.
