PUNCH AND JUDY."Dog Toby sate beside them, too,Dressed in a coat of blue.He looked so wise, I really thinkHe knows the whole play through."Then Judy gave the child to Punch,Who danced it very high,And kissed and hugged it, till at lastHe made the Baby cry."Then-oh, Mamma, it was too bad !-He tossed it from the show,And broke its neck upon the stones-The hard cold stones below I"Judy flew into a great rage;-I thought her anger right-She seized a stick and beat old PunchWith all her strength and might I"But soon he stopped his punishment:He took her stick away,And beat her with it, till quite deadAnd still poor Judy lay."And then the puppet-show moved on;I don't know what came next;And as I wish to know the end,I can't help feeling vexed."

PUNCH AND JUD Y"Well, darling," said his kind Mamma,"Your birthday soon will come;Suppose we ask the man to showHis puppets in our home ?"John hugged his mother for the thought,And danced about in glee;And, talking of his birthday treat,A happy boy was he.He wished to share his promised joyWith all his little friends;And invitations, far and near,His smiling mother sends.The longed-for evening comes at last;The puppet-show is set;And in the spacious drawing-roomThe little guests are met.There-seated in two smiling rows-The grown-up guests behind,The little people, full of mirthAnd anxious hope, we find.In the back row with Cousin Rose,Whose arm is o'er him thrown,Sits Johnny; by her side are placedThe children longest known.3

PUNCH AND JUDY.In front the little strangers sit;Behind stands kind MammaHolding the baby; by her sideIs Johnny's dear Papa.And Nurse is there; and Auntie Rose;And tiresome Mr. Day,Who talks so much, John fears his AuntWon't hear what Punch may say !The waiting now is almost done;The piper beats his drum,And with his well-known merry squeakPunch on the stage has come.And Johnny found him just the sameAs when he saw him last:He squeaked and scolded, and the BabeOut of the window cast.And Judy (as she did before)Then thumped him on the head,Till Punch had forced her stick away,And laid her (with it) dead.Johnny was glad when this was done-Now he should see the rest TNo doubt, the end, for which he longed,Would prove by far the best.4

And end your wicked life."- 'v i -. .TThen Punch pretended grief and shame;. -For pardon loud he cried;'But slyly seized the poor man's staffAnd struck him in the side.The Constable fell down quite dead!4.And then sank out of sight;And wicked Punch both laughed and sangWith triumph and delight.Next came the Clown to ask if PunchToby, his dog, would sell;But Punch refused. "Ah, no," said he,"I love my dog too well !"Give me a kiss, my Toby dear,Your worth your master knows !"But Toby growled, and flew at him,And seized him by the nose.5
