THE NIMBLE PENNIES.
Through the year “The Nimble Pennies” will open the gates to a cunning menagerie for the little nursery girls and boys. Ask papa or mama for two cents, one small and one large (a two-cent piece, or a silver quarter, will do as well if a large copper cent is not to be had). Draw circles around the pennies, as in the first and second pictures, then add eyes, nose, mouth, ears, legs, feet, tail, and last of all whiskers—and, lo! the pennies have nimbly changed to a cat!
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong-ding—
Did you hear the school-bell ring?
Hurry, hurry, little flock,
It is nigh to nine o’clock!
P. S. C.
The Happy Hen.
