"I'M GRANDMOTHER."
Mary is a good little girl, but is meddlesome. She has a good Grandmother, called Mrs. Mason, and she sometimes goes to her house. One day Mary got into mischief. Seeing her Grandmother's spectacles on the table, she put them on her nose, and said, "I'm Grandmother." Mary began to march about the room in a very grand way. Presently the spectacles fell off, and the glasses were broken. Poor Mary cried bitterly, and at first did not know what to do; but when Mrs. Mason came in, she told her all, and promised never to play "Grandmother" again. Mrs. Mason told her not to cry, and she might play "Grandmother" as much as she liked, but she was to be very careful not to take her spectacles, and she would get her papa to get a pair of tin ones, with holes in them, so that she could see as well, and look all the funnier.

Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee, Oh, such jolly fun! I'm Signor Blowmore, And he's Herr Bertrun. Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee! Do we make a noise? That's the very thing you know Pleases little boys. Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee! Full of young life's joys, Playing with the horn and drum, Best of all the toys. Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee! Music now hath charms; You can blow and beat away, And it no one alarms. |
