MISS MOUSER'S TEA PARTY.

Round dances followed, and quadrilles,

And lancers---when once more

Pussy Cat Mew, that careless cat,

Her fine new ball dress tore!

Her old mamma was quite put out,

And said, "You'll have no milk---

Just as I told you years ago---

Until you mend your silk."

Now supper came, and all were glad

To rest awhile and eat;

The game they all thought excellent;

The cream was quite a treat.

After their supper, one more dance

They voted would be fun;

And "Sir Roger de Coverley"

Was danced by old and young.
