His little Children are Playing with diamond Marbles on the Tesselated Floor. The editor can afford to Live in Style. He gets Seventy-Five Dollars a month Wages.
THE SWEET HOME.

THE CATERPILLAR.
The Caterpillar is Crawling along the Fence. He has Pretty Fur all over his Back, and he Walks by Wrinkling up his Skin. He is Full of Nice yellow Custard.

Then the Wall Paper will Look as if a Red Headed Girl had been leaning Against it.
