MOTHER'S FACE.
Three little boys talked together, One sunny summer cUy, 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, 11 Was a bird in grandpa's garden, All black and white and red." 14 The prettiest thinj; I over saw," SAd the 3econd little lad, 11 Was a pony at the circus— I wanted him awful bad." 11 I think," said the third little follow, With a grave and gentle grace, " That the prettiest thuip in all this woild Is juat my mother's face." —Good Cheer.
