 "hands" over his sweet-loving heart ; a jar 

 and a section of honey ; also a spoon with a 

 card attached, reading, " Come let us spoon 

 awhile." At the bottom of the card, and to 

 the right, are these words : " Eat thou honey 

 because it is good."— Prov. 24:13. At the 

 left of the bear's head, and encircled with 

 bees, is this sentence : "lean not BEAR to 

 lose you ;" and at the top, and to the right of 

 the bear's head and bees, is this stanza : 



O won't you BEE my HONEY, 

 And cheer this lonely heart? 



For I would hug you all the time, 

 And we would never part.
