Side 128 - But the beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard. He came not, no, he came not, The night came on alone, The little stars sat one by one Each on his golden throne...
Side 150 - Spec' I mus' have my froat goggled; have some more poke-rime round it, Hollis !" added she, in a tone loud enough to be heard by half the party. Think of mentioning " poke-rime " in fashionable society ! " Tell her she must dance Little Zephyrs, or you'll send her right back," suggested Prudy, who was famous for thinking of the right thing at the right time, and so making awkward affairs pass off well. "Yes, Fly, come out in the floor, and dance ' Little Zephyrs ' this minute, or you must go back...
Side 64 - em ! " There was a second dash upon the stove, and another scorch in the slip. "There ought to be a fence built round that stove," said the anxious father. "Come, Mother Hubbard, have you seen all there is in the cupboard? Can't you give this poor old dog a bone ? " "Well, here I am with the care of the family on my shoulders," thought Mother Hubbard, winking fast behind the green spectacles, and recalling uneasily the couplet her father often repeated : — " Think well before you pursue it; But...

Side 153 - You little mischief, is that what you mean ? ghe won't lei you wake her ?" " No'm, she won't," replied artless Fly ; " she said she wouldn't be bovvered." Mrs. Pragoff weut to bed again, laughing at her own folly. Dotty, it seems, was feeling very much like a bitter-sour apple. It had always been a peculiarity of hers to visit her own sins upon other people. Prudy did not suspect in the least what the matter was, but knew, from experience, it...

("No, Dotty; I only mean that we are i»ld, in the Bible, there are 'ministering spirits,' and we believe they watch over good little children.
Side 156 - ... There seemed to be no other way but to wait and go home with the rest of the children. Dotty tried to think there might be time enough, after all, to find the rings.
