CHILDREN’S VERSES.

THE BTAR FAIRIES. (Sent by Zena Duck (7), Orlni.) Oh don’t you know 'the fairies That light the stars at night? They fly about in numbers, ■Each with a tiny light But when the night is ending ’Tis very, very plain The stars wait for the fairies To put them out again. SPRING. (Sent by Clifford Parker, Tc Aroha.) Spring is coming, Spring is coming, Birdies build your nest; Weave together straw and feather, Doing each your best. Spring is coming, flowers arc coming too, Pansies, Lilies, daffodillies Now are coming through. Spring is coming, Spring Is coming, Shiver and quiver on the river; Joy is everywhere. AN EGG FOR THE BROWNIE-MAN. (Sent by Iris Hancock (10), Paterangi.) There was a little Brownie-Man Who had an egg-cup and a pan, But ne’er an egg had he; He sat down in a quiet spot. “I’ll have to do some work,” ha thought, “That’s plain as plain can he.” He ran an errand for a maid. ; “Here is a lovely egg,” she said, “As white as any moon." Oh, joyful was that Brownie-Man, He boiled that white egg in his pan And ate it with a spoon.
