All the Boys. Three cheers for the American eagle!

All together. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!

(Curtain falls. Or, if there be no curtain, a boy rushes in to tell them the organ-man is coming, and they all rush out.)

SHOPPING.—A DIALOGUE FOR THE VERY LITTLE ONES.

CHARACTERS.

Clerk.Old Lady.Mrs. Highfly.
Annie.Celia.Mr. Jones.

Scene.—A shop. Tables are placed at one end of the stage to represent counters. Upon these are displayed toys, confectionery, boxes, or any thing which will indicate a shop. Advertisements of patent medicines and of other things might be hung up. White pebbles may pass for sugar-plums. Sticks whittled out and colored will do for sticks of candy. A little boy of seven or eight may be dressed up to represent a smart clerk or storekeeper (with a pen behind his ear). The other actors should be younger. Celia and Annie, two very little girls, enter at one end of the stage.

Celia. O Annie! did your mother give you a cent?

Annie. Yes. See! (Holds it out.)
