THE ERRAND BOY.
Dick's tlie boy to run about ; He delights to fetch and carry : Never loit'ring when he's out, For a game with Bob or Harry. And he says, when Harry cries, " Stop a while, for just one game," " If I do, I cannot rise, Sure as Richard is my name." When, on any busy day. With two messages he's sent, He has ne'er like some, to say, " I forgot one as I went." Hard he works all day, and then, For a little while at night, Cons his books, and wields Mb pen ; Learns to cipher, read, and write. So the master likes his boy, And will gladly help him on ; For 'tis pleasant to employ Those who'll get their business done. J. W.
