NESSIE'S ADVENTURE.
essie was lost—her brothers
Had sought her high and low:
Where in the world was Baby?
Nobody seemed to know.
"Mother," at last said Harry
"Now don't you be afraid;
We'll make up a grand search party,
And find our little maid."
Harry led forth his followers,
Down by the willowed pond,
Past the old grey turnstile,
And into the woods beyond.
They searched by stream and meadow,
They searched 'neath hedge and tree;
"Where," said the puzzled children,
"Where can the truant be?"
At last, at last they found her,
In a meadow far away,
Under a sheltering haystack,
Asleep 'mid the fragrant hay.
They brought her home in triumph,
A merry sight to see,
With flags and banners flying,
And songs of victory.
