LADY Colin Campbum incidentally testified, in the trial of the great divorce suit lately concluded in London, that she had once written some verses for the New Year's amusement of the little children in heroin and tho Campbell families. She added that they were illustrated by Mifs Kate Grcenaway, but did not identify them. Considerate curiosity was felt concerning them, Ml this we herewith gratify. In a letter to JJ ra. Paran Stevens, of New York, two years ajjo, from her daughter, the wife of Lord Arthur Paget, the rhymes were sent, with the explanation that Lady Campboll had in several instances tnade the Paget children the juvenile ?oroes and heroines.

Pray let me introduce to you This little dancing family; For morning, afternoon and night They danced away so happily. They twirled round about, They turned their toes ont; Tho peopled wondered what the noise Could b all about. I They danced from early morning Till very lato at night; Both in doors and out of doors, . With very great delight And every-sort of dance they knew, From every country far away; And so it was no wonder that They should keep dancing all the day. So daucing dancing dancing, In snnshine or in rain; And when they all left off, Why, then they ail began again. The little Jumping Girls. JUMP lump jumpJump away From this town into The next, to day.

"And, then, too, we're going to each take a noseRay The larger the better for Phillis to say That all her friends love her, and wish her so happy. And bring her sweet flowers upon her birthday.

On the Bridge. If I could see a little fishThat is what I just now wish; I want to see his great, round eyes, Always open in surprise. I wish a water rat would glide Slowly to the other side; Or a dancing spider sit -On the yellow flags a bit

I think I'll get some stones to throw, And watch the pretty circles show; Or shall we sail a flower-boat. And watch it slowly, slowly float? That's nice because you never know How far away it means to go; And when to-morrow comes, you see, It may be in the great, wide sea. HUMOR OP THE DAY. Boarding-House Grammar. Chicasto Rambler.

"There's everything in the way you put a thine," remarked Thompson. - "Yes, considerable." replied Smith, guardedly.

The Hygiene of Iove. Our Little On9. Jimmy was the stingiest little boy you ever knew. He couldn't bear to give away a cent nor a bite of an apple, nor a crumb of candy He couldn't even bear to lend his sled, or his knife, or his hoop or skates. All of his friends were very sorry he was so stingy, and talked to him a great dealaboutit; but he couldn't see any reason why he should give away what ho wane ed himself. "If I didn't want it, he would say, "p'r'aps I would pive it away; but why should 1 give it away when I want it myself?" "Because it is nice to be generous," said his mother, "and to think about the happiness of other people. It makes you feel better and happier yourself. If you give your sled to little raceed Johnny, who never had one m his life. you will feel a thousand times better watching his enjoyment ot it tnan it you had kept it your self." "Well," said Jimmy, Til try it." The sled was sent off. while Johnny looked on as if he were taking a dose of rhubarb. "How soon will I begin to feel better?" be asked by-and-by. "I don't feel as well as I did when I had the sled. Are you sure I shall feel better?" "Certainly," answered his mother; "but if you should keep on giving something away you would feel better all the soouer." Then he gave away a kite, and thought he didn't feel quite so well as before. He pave away a silver piece that he bad meant to spend for taffy. Then he said: "I don't like this givin? away things; it do?en't aree with me. I don't feel any better. I like being stingy best." Just then ragged Johnny came up the street, dragging tne sieu, loosing as proud as a prince and asking all the boys to take a slide with him. Jimmy began to smile as he watched him, and said: "You might give Jobnoy my old overcoat; he's littler than 1 am, and he dosen't seem to have one. I think I guess I know. I'm be ginning to icel ever so much better. 1 m glad 1 ling 10 ieei ever somucn oetier. i mgiaai johnny the sied. in give away something gave else.
