THE MOON. A Dutch boy and girl stood side by side Watching the slow incoming tide, The silver moon, which then was low, Kose slowjy up amid her glow. Bohihd the clouds sho seemed to hide, Before.the breeze at times she'd ride.

And then I gave her a piece of meat, . ■ She'■"flaicfyi no longer aloof: "I promise not to howl any more, At least, not on your roof." "TABBY CAT." Wellington.
