THE STORYBOOK.

“I have a little storybook;

I love to read it too;

It tells about the fairy folk,

And what they say and do,

“And how they sleep in lily bells

And scare away the bees,

And visit birdies in their nest,

And do just what they please.”

[Illustration]

“WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?”

Said a little girl: “It is easy enough to remember that the old woman

who lives down in the Row is my neighbor, for she is very poor and lives

in a poor house, and when I carry her things mamma sends she says,

‘Bless you, my little lady;’ but it isn’t so easy to remember that my

own grandma is my neighbor when she wants me to run up stairs after her

spectacles, or hold some yarn for her just when I’m playing.”
