very wise manner. Then one
flies down, and then another, and another; and as they eat, they seem to
comment on their repast. At last nothing is left of it but the bare
bones to bleach in the sun. They will eat an ox in a day.

A MOTHER GOOSE MELODY.

Music by ANNIE MOORE.

[Illustration: Music]

Three little dogs were basking in the cinders,
And three little cats were playing in the windows,
Three little mice popp'd out of a hole,
And a piece of cheese they stole, they stole!
The three little cats jump'd up in a trice,
And crack'd the bones of the three little mice,
The three little mice.

Transcriber's Notes:

The January edition of the Nursery had a table of contents for the first
six issues of the year. This table was divided to cover each specific
issue. A title page copied from the January edition was also used for
this number.
