Jennie Brown as a girl
Was admired by all.
She was not very short,
She was not very tall.
She was homely, they said,
In her calico gown.
Jennie Brown, for all that, .
Was the pride of the town.
Jennie Brown went to school’
When she found time to go;
And she studied quite hard
All her lessons to know.
She resolved to improve .
Every moment in school.
And the wise ones remarked, '
“She is nobody’s fool.”

Will gladden the earth.

That ever will shine

editor framed his answers upon the ortho­
dox lines, but unfortunately transposed
their two names, with the result that No

If she won a kind word,
It was without any art.

Though Dame Nature denied her
A beautiful face,
There was something more lovely
Had taken its place.
’Twas that warm, loving heart.
So unselfish and true.
Which, forgetting itself.
into loveliness grew
She is now full of years
But a j»>y as of yore.
