Little Mother Goose

Pie, pudding and nuts, had Jack Horner—

And plenty of plums

For both his thumbs!

Ah! table is better than corner,

Little Jack Horner!

POSY PINKHAM’S CAT.

Little Posy Pinkham always declared her cat un-der-stood what she said. I could tell little children many things to show that house-cats and house-dogs do un-der-stand much that is said, and some day I will.

One morning Posy came running downstairs, eager to tell her mama what she had dreamed, and Posy’s cat at once pricked up her ears to listen, for she, too, had had a dream. Any child who watches a cat asleep knows cats dream.
