'O, Mary loves the lamb, you know,'
The Teacher did reply;—
'And you each gentle animal
In confidence may bind,
And make them follow at your call,
If you are always kind.'


MY MOTHER'S SWEET KISS.

I have learned my lesson,
And mother said
She would give me a kiss
When I went to bed—
I do not want sugar-plums,
Candy and cake,
They make my mind dull,
And my head to ache.

My mother's sweet kiss
Is my best reward—
To gain her smile
