EDDIE IN THE COUNTRY.

"I'm sure 'tis too pleasant this beautiful day To sit here so quietly playing, Come, Lillie, let's be off to the mountain away,  And see where the sheep are now straying!"

So said little Eddie, and ran with great joy, To ask if his cousin could go; But tho' his aunt wished to oblige the dear boy, She still was compelled to say no.

"I have given my daughter a lesson to learn, Then follows a half hour's sewing; Should this be well done, then with pleasure she'll earn,  And I shall not object to her going.
