PORTRAITS FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

This is Master Baby,
Paying a morning call,
Sitting so good upon his chair,
But speaking not at all.
Listening to every word,
The funny little man!
Wondering at the news he hears,
Thinking all he can.
This little lady,
I'd have you know,
Is Miss Mary Vernon,
With cheeks in a glow.
She has a doll Bella,
Quite dear to her heart,
And takes her to ride
In a nice little cart.
This is Tommy Trip:
Bubbles he can blow;
When a bubble breaks too soon,
Tommy cries, "Don't go!"
Older folks I know,
Who their fine schemes make,
And, when any fine scheme fails,
Cry, "Oh, do not break!"
