LITTLE BESS.
“TllFßt is a country o'er the sea Where little girls — so I've been told Are sometimes thrown away or killed, Or for a piece of money sold. 1 cannot understand one bit, Why dreadful things like this should be. But I am glad I don’t live there Where my papa would not love me. He says, and I believe ’Us true, That when he feels his thankfulness, He puts me first of all and says
‘ Thank Go<i for our dear I.it tie Btss !’ ”
