this down as a party of real pleasure. There has been no one thing particular to make the day so happy, except that all have been of the same mind: and so long as I remember this day, I think I shall never be guilty of converting a party of pleasure into a party of pain."

JUST COME FROM SCHOOL.

SHE has just come from school-and the pretty young

thing

Sits and simpers when visitors call;

Or she rings for the maid to come up stairs, and bring
The music she left in the hall.

She has just come from school-and she wonders to see
Mamma look so homely and old;

She asks if they pour boiling water on tea,
And thinks it would answer with cold.

She has just come from school-and she cannot tell how
People manage a lemon to squeeze ;

She supposes that cucumbers come from the cow,
And cheesecakes, in some way, from cheese.

She has just come from school-and she sits down to sing When the household are busy below;

"Mamma-dear mamma does all that sort of thing; For she really enjoys it, you know."
