to-morrow fresh and strong;
'Tis your mother sits beside you,
Singing you a cradle song.

Lullaby, sweet lullaby!

STOP! STOP! PRETTY WATER

I.

"Stop! stop! pretty water,"
Said Mary one day,
To a frolicsome brook
That was running away.

II.

"You run on so fast!
I wish you would stay;
My boat and my flowers
You will carry away."

III.

"But I will run after;
Mother says that I may;
For I would know where
You are running away."

IV.

So Mary ran on;
But I have heard say
That she never could find
Where the brook ran away.

MY LITTLE DOLL ROSE.

I have a little doll;
I take care of her clothes;
She has soft flaxen hair;
And her name it is Rose.

She has pretty blue eyes,
And a very small nose,
And a cunning little mouth;
My dear little Rose.

I have a little sofa
Where my doll may repose,
Or sit up like a lady;
My knowing little Rose.

My doll can move her arms,
And stand upon her toes;
Or make a pretty curtesy,
My funny little Rose.

"How old is your dolly?"
Very young I suppose,
For she cannot go alone,
My precious little Rose.

Indeed I cannot tell,
In poetry or prose,
How beautiful she is,
My darling little Rose.

BUTTERFLIES ARE PRETTY THINGS.

"Butterflies are pretty things,
Prettier than you or I;
See the colors on his wings;
Who would hurt a butterfly?"

"Softly, softly, girls and boys;
He'll come near us by and by;
Here he is, don't make a noise;--
We'll not hurt you, butterfly."

Not to hurt a living thing,
Let all little children try;
See, again he's on the wing;
Good by! pretty butterfly!

OLD NURSEY.

O, here is papa,
With Edward and Jane,
Come to see good old Nursey,
Who lives in the lane.

She's the best of all Nurseys,
And Edward and Jane
Love dearly good Nursey,
Who lives in the lane.

"Here's the hen and her chickens,"
Says Edward to Jane,
"And here's Nursey's pussy,
That lives in the lane."

Nurse gave a good hug
To Edward and Jane,
And told them a story
As long as the lane.

They said, "Good by Nursey."
She said "Come again
To see poor old Nursey,
Who lives in the lane"

THE SUN IS UP.

The sun is up, the sun is up,
Sing merrily we, the sun
