MY CHILDREN.
flare you seen Annie and Kitty,
Two merry childrun of mine?
AU that is winning and pretty
Their little persons combine.
Annie in kissing and clinging
Dozens of times in a day,—
Chattering,laughing, and singing,
Romping, and roasting away.
Annie knows all of her neighbors,
Dainty and dirty alike—
Learns all their talk, and 'be jokers,'
Says she 'adores like Mike I'
Annie goes mad for a flower,
Eager to pluck and destroy,—
.Cuts paper dolls by the hour,
Always her model—n boy
.Annie is full of her fancies,
Tells most remarkable 1104,

Startling in one of her size,
Three little prayers we have taught her,
Graded from winter to spring! •
'Oh, you should listen my daughter
Saying them all in a string l
Bitty—uls, how my heart blesses
Kitty, my lily, my rose!
Wary of all my caresses,
Chary of all she bestows,

Whispers sweet sermons to chairs,
And, w;th the, gravest of faces,
Ti.;aeitc's old Carlo his prayers.
ltfatronly, motherly creature !
Oh, what a doll she has built—
Guiltless of figure or feature—
' Out of her own little quiet!
Nought must come near it to wake it;
Noise must not pi,' it alarm ;
Acid when she sleeps she must take it
Into her bed, on her arm.

Uttering never a word I

Talks to herself like a bird.

And with a comical smile,
