THE FATE OF MR. BROWN.

Mr. Brown, from Boston, Never was quite pleased; He visited a country friend, And fretted, frowned, and teased.

"The birds sing so loudly," Such was his complaint; "The fowls are so noisy-- Teach them some restraint.

"A hen should lay eggs And cackling forego, And cocks in the morning More musically crow.

"But the-world is all wrong, I'll go back to town;" _And here the earth opened_, _And swallowed Mr. Brown_.

HATTY IN A FRIGHT.

As Hatty tripped along the stair Lightly ran a rat behind her; Hatty screamed, I do declare, Till we had to seize and bind her.

HASTY WIN.

A terrible Turk, with a gay turbaned head, His brow puckered up in a crease, Bends over a kettle of simmering red.-- "Fly, Johnny, and call the police.

"Some mischief he's cooking; just look at him grin: A prison is what he deserves." "You goose of a boy, ridiculous Win, _He is making rose preserves_."

DOLLY'S ENDING.

The night she should have been a bride, That night my precious dolly--_died_. In a robe of spangled gold Hide her from the sunshine bold, The fleet beauty of a rose Marking the spot of her repose.
