[JOHN-NY'S LIT-TLE SIS-TER.]

"I'll take care of Sis-sy," said broth-er John-ny.

Ba-by was so sweet and ro-sy! Mam-ma had just dressed her, all white and fair. John-ny held out his arms for her. Mam-ma kissed both gold-en heads, and went out to get din-ner.

John-ny was ver-y proud to be trust-ed with his lit-tle sis-ter. He sat down with her in the great green ea-sy-chair, and put both arms round her.

"Now Sis-sy shall hear a nice sto-ry," he said, "all a-bout Christ-mas. Sis-sy shall have beau-ti-ful things Christ-mas—a big i-vo-ry rat-tle with long red rib-bons, and a pict-ure-book, and a dol-ly with black hair, and a soft ball all blue and yel-low—and broth-er will buy them for her all him-self."

Ba-by said, "Goo-goo," and smiled a hon-ey-smile.
