THE PLAYHOUSE. A little girl in a playhouse played. Beneath the eld apple’s spreading shade; 'The c lay books tn t furnished her playhouse walls sF»ded away into palace halls. JHer broken china and bits of glass 'Were silver plate, the soft green graaa, A Brussels carpet—and whoe'er tread A softer carpot than nature spread.' Her doll was princess, herself was queen. A- fairer one was scarce ere seen. With her soft blue eyes and sunny boat, Jler rosebud lipa and brow so fair. Her household core adds queenly grace To her childish form, across her face A trouble flits for dollish ills— The mother s heart with pity tills. O. fair young player! We oft have thought Our play more serious, the ends we sought To be more noble and yet. I trow. Our wotk seems childish to the angels now. —l* M. Hollingsworth, in Ohio Forums, Geneva. George W.
