MOTHER'S FACE.
Three little boys talked together, One sunny summer day, .And I leaned out .of the -window To hear what they had to say. '•*• The prettiest thing I ever saw," One of the little boys said', * M , "Was a"bird in grandpa's garden, All black and white and red." *" The prettiest thing I.ever saw," Said the second little lad, *"7Was a pony at the circus — I wanted him awful bad." • " I think," said the third little fellow, \With a grave and-gentle grace, •"That the prettiest thing in all the . world, Is just my mother's face."
