POETS' CORNER.

THE PEAK-TOKK GOBLIH. There's a Goblin in our pear tree, I feel sure— 'Cau.«o I watched him as I hid l»liH tho door. When the moon shines nice and bright, And Nurse lias said "Good night!" He creeps into my room and sits opaa tho floor. And—oh, the things be tells me about dreams— How Goblin ladies weave them by the reams! And when they finish then, The little Goblin men Ply round tho world and scatter them, it'eeems. He told me why ha lives in our pear tree. And why ho likes to hare a dial *ju, me; Wben he comes into our house I'm aa quiet aa a mouae. And never try to frighten him, you sec!
