(Mother sings.)

Of all the birds, dear robin,

’Tis you are loved the best,

Because you have, sweet robin,

A warm heart in your breast.—O, hark!

(Children sing robin refrain.)

THE NIMBLE PENNIES.

Draw a small circle (around a small cent), and a large circle below and behind it (around a large copper cent, or two-cent piece, or silver quarter), as in the first two designs. Add eyes, mouth, legs and feet, as in the other designs, and a fat frog will smile up at you.

I’s a-runnin’ away,

I is, I is;

I’s a-goin’ to stay,

I is, I is,

Wiv my gamma all day,

I is, I is!

M. Dunleath.
