MY GIRL.

A little corner witli its crib, A little miip: iv spoon, a bib, A little tooth so peurly white, A little rubber ring to bite. A littlo plato all lettered round, A little rattlo to resound. A littlo creeping—see ! who stand-', A littlo stop 'twixt outstretched hands, A littlo doll with flaxen hair, A littlo willow rocking chair, A little dress of richest hue, A little pair of gaiters blue. A littlo school day after day, A little "schoolmiuim " to obey, A littlo study—soon 'tis past A little graduate at last. A little muff for winter weather, A little jockey-hat and feather, A littlo sack with funny pockets, A littlo chain, a ring and lockets. A littlo while to dance and bow, A little escort honnward now, A little party somewhat late, A little lingering at tho Rate. A littlo walk in leafy June, A little talk while shines the moon, A littlo reference to papa, A littlo planning with mamma. A little ceremony grave, A littlo struggle to be brave, A littlo cottage on a lawn, A littlo kiss—my girl «' iis pr<">e.
