Then mother cat, Tab, to Milly did 66 say, "O pray, little Miss, the kittens are mine." "I know they are yours," said she to old Tab, "But can I not give one to dear little May ? She will take it out it out home with horses and cab, And give it some meat and some milk ev'ry day." "No, no, little Miss! I can not consent. What you say about May is all very fine. I could never be happy-never con tent; I tell you again, the kittens are mine." "Well, well, mother cat! I will ask you no more To part with your dear little kittens, a day. So let them come out to romp on the floor; To have a good time, and a jolly, nice play." LANGUAGE LESSON.

Frank Brown. John A. White sheep, the men wash them in the brook, to make the wool clean. The sheep do not like the water, and, of course, try to get away from the men. While Frank and Ned were looking on, one of the sheep got away, and ran out of the brook. He shook the water from his wool and ran away. The man ran after him and caught him by the horns. Then he took him back and gave him a good wash. The water in the brook was clear, and the sheep came out with their wool nice and clean. Then they were put into a small yard, or pen, and the men cut off their wool with large shears. As each one had his wool cut off, he was let out of the pen. |
