What shall I do?" + +[Illustration] + + Her pin-a-fore + With tears was wet: + "My bird a-gain, + I'll nev-er get." + At last she raised + Her weep-ing eye, + And there at hand, + What should she spy + But bird-ie hop-ping in his door, + Tired of his free-dom, back once more. + + + + +MAY DAY. + +[Illustration] + + One day, all in the sweet spring weather, + Two lit-tle folk went out to-geth-er. + Oh the bright May-day! + Sun was shining, birds were sing-ing, + Flow-ers bloom-ing, May-bells ring-ing! + Oh the glad May-day! + + So they two went forth a May-ing, + Laugh-ing, dan-cing, sing-ing, say-ing + "Oh the bright May-day! + What care we for moth-er's warn-ing? + Who would bide at home this morn-ing? + Oh the glad May-day!" + + + + +HI DIDDLE, DIDDLE! + +[Illustration] + + Hi!

I must run: +he will eat me." + + + + +DOLL AND I. + + +[Illustration] + + "Oh, dear! On, dear! + 'Tis al-most nine. + The birds all sing, + The sun does shine. + Poor Doll and I + To school must go: + I don't see why, + We hate it so. + I hate those let-ters.

"Mam-ma will be pleased at her +birth-day gift. I think it is just love-ly." But the words were not out +of her mouth when Tom caught his foot and fell at full length on the +car-pet. Crash! went the vase that was to have been mam-ma's pres-ent +in-to bits. + +May burst in-to tears, but she stopped all at once when she saw that Tom +did not get up, and that his face was grow-ing ve-ry white. "Oh! Tom," +she cried, "is a-ny-thing the matter?" + +"My knee," groaned Tom, "it hurts aw-ful-ly." + +[Illustration] + +May ran at once for pa-pa. He came, and Tom was lift-ed up and put to +bed, and the doc-tor was sent for. It was found that his knee was bad-ly +hurt, and that he must not get out of bed for a month.
