Five gallant soldiers standing in a row,
Five nimble soldiers marching to and fro.
First General Spry,
Next Colonel Try,
Then Major Tall,
And Sergeant Dapper,
And Corporal Small.
Five gallant soldiers all in fine array,
Five dashing soldiers meet them on the way.
First General Stout,
Next Colonel Look-out,
Then Major Trim,
And Sergeant Taper,
And Corporal Slim.
Ten gallant soldiers waiting our command,
Look, and you will see them,—five upon each hand.

JENNY AND BENNY.

Was ever child so lovely!
Was ever child so fair!
Had ever child such bright blue eyes,
Such lips, such golden hair!
Say, is there any baby
With this one to compare?
Oh, yes! there is one other
That's just as good as she:
It is my baby-brother,
Whose picture here you see.
