A DUTIFUL PARENT.
Cried a cat to his wife, “See, my dear,
The superlative Circus is here!
With the children we’ll go,—’tis our duty, you know,
Their young minds to enlighten and cheer.”
Said a Cat to his sons, “I should deem
This blithe Picture-Book Boy carried cream.”

A Needless Apprehension.
A shipwrecked Spoonbill always has a shock
When he sees a Wigbird wading towards his rock.
It makes a Cat-o’-Nine-Tails simply smile,
When a Peacock tries the Neighbors to beguile.
