A BIT OF ADVICE 



Lady bug, Lady 



bug, 



If I were you, 

 I would always carry 



A bucket of dew, 

 To dash on my house, if it burned, 



And then, may be, 

 I'd save every little Lady bug baby. 



Youth's Companion. 



AN OAK GALL 



Here is another queer little house. 



It grows on the 

 oak. 



But it is not 

 an acorn. 



It has no door 

 nor any win- 

 dows.
