One cold morning, looked into milli-
ner's shop, and there | saw hale, hearty,
well Drowned young fellow from the coun-

frill of rich blonde around the edge By
his side stood very pretty woman, hold

and fat dimpled cheeks Of the little one.

Mary very prudently said nolhsg, but
taking the little bonnet, tied it on the little
head, and held up the baby. The man

out OF the shop, it is hard to say which
looked most delighted with the bargain.
