THERE WERE TWO BIRDS.

There were two birds sat upon a stone,

Fal de ral al de ral

laddy.

One flew away, and then there was one,

Fal de ral al de ral-laddy.

The other flew after, and then there was none,

Fal de ral al de ral- laddy.

So the poor stone was left all alone,

Fal de ral al de ral- laddy.

One of these little birds back again flew,

Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy.

The other came after, and then there were two,

Fal de ral — al de ral —

laddy.

Says one to the other, Pray how do

Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy.

you do?

Very well, thank you, and pray how are you?

Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy.

LADY BIRD! LADY BIRD!

Lady bird! lady bird!

Fly away home;

Your house is on fire,

Your children will burn.

MISS JANE HAD A BAG.

Miss Jane had a bag, and a mouse was in it,
She opened the bag, he was out in a minute;
The cat saw him jump and run under the table,
And the dog said, Catch him, puss, as soon as
you're able.

Rub-a-dub-dub,

Three men in a tub,

And who do you think was there?

The butcher, the baker,

The candle-stick maker,

And all of them going to the fair.

SOME LITTLE MICE.

Some little mice sat in a barn to spin, Pussy came by and popped her head in; "Shall I come in and cut your threads off? "O! no, kind ma'am, you will snap our heads off!"

PUSSY CAT.

Pussy cat, pussy cat,

Where have you been?
I've been to London
To look at the queen.
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
What did you there?

I frightened a little mouse

Under the chair.

LITTLE ROBIN RED-BREAST.

Little Robin Red-breast sat upon a tree,
Up went Pussy-cat, and down went he;
Down came Pussy-cat, and away Robin ran;
Says little Robin Red-breast, "Catch me if you can.

Little Robin Red-breast jumped upon a wall,
Pussy-cat jumped after him, and almost got a fall;
Little Robin chirped and sang, and what did Pussy
say?

Pussy-cat said " Mew," and Robin flew away.

Early to bed and early to rise

Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

The man in the moon

Came down too soon,

To inquire the way to Norwich ;
He went by the south,

And burnt his mouth

With eating cold pease-porridge.

A DILLER, A DOLLAR.

A diller, a dollar,

A ten o'clock scholar,

What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o'clock,
But now you come at noon.

HICKORY, DICKORY, DOCK.

Hickory, dickory, dock,

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one,

And down he run,

Hickory, dickory, dock.
