The present was from Mr. Walldorf; and with it came a letter from him thanking the little girls for their kindness to his good dog, Spot, and promising to bring Spot to see them the next time he visited Boston.
UNCLE CHARLES.
ON A HIGH HORSE.
On a velocipede
Harry would ride:
Quickly the splendid steed
Set him astride.
Now for a jolly time!
Now for some sport!
Hold on!—the little chap's
Legs are too short.
Harry can't touch the peg,
All he can do;
Though he may stretch his leg
Out of his shoe!
What can we do for him?
This much, of course:
Let down the rider—or
Let down the horse.
