THE NAUGHTY PUPPIES.

New Mischief done by the Puppies.

The visits to the poultry-yard,
Of Tiny and of Toodles,
Soon brought on their papa a call
Of Master Cockadoodle's.

He said, "My hens can't lay an egg,
Though once I had a case full;
Because your puppies frighten them—
It's wicked, it's disgraceful!

"But let them venture once again,
My hens to chase and worry,
And I'll receive them in a way
Shall make them sad and sorry."

Toodles heard this, and crept away,
And in the straw lay quiet;
But Tiny yelled till the cock marched off,
Disgusted with the riot.
