Good Mamma
Love, come and sit upon my knee,
And give me kisses, one, two, three,
And tell me whether you love me.
My baby.
For this I'm sure, that I love you,
And many, many things I do,
And many an hour I sit and sew
For baby.
And then at night I lie awake,
Thinking of things that I can make,
And trouble that I mean to take
For baby.
An when you're good and do not cry,
Nor into angry passions fly,
You can't think how papa and I
Love baby.
But if my little child should grow
To be a naughty child, I know
'Twould grieve mamma to serve her so,
My baby.
And when you saw me pale and thin,
By grieving for my baby's sin,
I think you'd wish that you had been
A better baby.
How They Made Up
Two naughty little people
Had a quarrel one sad day,
Each said that with the other,
She never more would play.
And so upon each other
Their little backs they turned,
And all the old time fondness
Alas! they coldly spurned.
But oh! their angry hearts grew weary,
The anger died away,
Each hoped that soon the other
Would have a word to say.
Each waited, oh! how sadly!
Each moved a little near,
And each "around the corner"
Began, at last, to peer.
Then Nellie held her dolly
To Annie with a smile:
"You may have it if you want to.
An play with it awhile."
Then Annie quickly followed
The rule she knew was right:
"I've got an apple, Nellie,
I'll give you a big bite."
And somehow the sweet faces
Met fair and square at last,
And kisses sweet and loving
Sent the quarrel flying fast.
Little Whimpy
Whimpy, little Whimpy,
Cried so much one day;
His grandma couldn't stand it,
And his mother ran away!
He was waiting by the window
When they all came home to tea.
And a gladder boy than Whimpy,
You never need hope to see!
Master Cross Patch
Cross Patch, cross Patch,
What's the matter now?
Why that wail of fretfulness,
And a scowl upon your brow?
Milk upset and wasted!
Water in your plate,
No one's sorry, old cross Patch,
For your wretched fate.
You began the morning
With a frown, my lad
And every word that you have said
Has made your mother sad.
And by your pettish temper,
You've spoiled your breakfast, too.
Cross Patch, cross Patch,
No one pities you.
Sulky Sarah
Why is Sarah standing there,
Leaning down upon a chair,
With such an angry lip and brow?
I wonder what's the matter now.
Come here my dear and tell me true,
It is because I spoke to you
About the work you'd done so slow,
That you are standing fretting so?
Why then, indeed, I'm grieved to see,
That you can so ill-tempered be:
You make your fault a great deal worse
By being angry and perverse.
Oh! how much better 'twould appear,
To see you shed a humble tear,
And then to hear you meekly say,
"I'll not do so another day."

A New Year's Gift
A charming present comes from town,
A baby-house quite neat;
With kitchen, parlours, dining-room,
And chambers, all complete.
A gift to Emma and to Rose,
From grandpa it came;
The little Rosa smil'd delight,
And Emma did the same.
They eagerly examin'd all--
The furniture was gay;
And in the rooms they plac'd their dolls,
When dress'd in fine array.
At night, their little candles lit,
And as they must be fed,
To supper down the dolls were plac'd,
And then were put to bed.
Thus Rose and Emma pass'd each hour
Devoted to their play;
And long were cheerful, happy, kind--
No cross disputes had they.
Till Rose in baby-house would change
The chairs which were below
"This carpet they would better suit;
I think I'll have it so."
"No, no indeed," her sister said,
"I'm older, Rose, than you;
And I'm the pet--the house is mine:
Miss, what I say is true."
The quarrel grew to such a height,
Mamma she heard the noise,
And coming in, beheld the floor
All strew'd with broken toys.
"O fie, my Emma! naughty Rose!
Say, why this sulk and pout?
Remember this is New Year's Day,
And both are going out."
Now Betty calls the little girls
To come upstairs and dress:
They still revile, with threats
And angry rage express.
But just prepar'd to leave their room,
Persisting yet in strife,
Rose sick'ning fell on Betty's lap.
As void of sense or life.
Mamma appear'd at Betty's call--
John for the doctor goes;
The measles, he begins to think,
Dread symptoms all disclose.
"But though I stay, my Emma, you
May go and spend the day."
"O no, mamma," replied the child,
"Do suffer me to stay.
"Beside my sister's bed I'll sit,
And watch her with such care,
"No pleasure can I e'er enjoy,
Till she my pleasure share.
"How silly now seems our dispute,
Not one of us she knows;
How pale she looks, how hard she breathes,
Poor pretty little Rose!"
Adelaide Taylor
Quarrelling
Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God hath made them so
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For 'tis their nature too.
Dr Watts
Angry Words
Poison-drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison-drops are they,
Weaving for the coming morrow,
Saddest memories of to-day.
Angry words, oh! let them never
From the tongue unbridled slip;
May the heart's best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For a moment's reckless folly
Thus to desolate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken,
Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirred,
Brightest links of life are broken,
By a single angry word.
The Tear And The Smile
A little tear and a little smile
Set out to run a race;
We watched them closely all the while--
Their course was baby's face.
The little tear he got the start
We really feared he'd win,
He ran so fast and made a dart
Straight for her dimpled chin.
But somehow, it was very queer,
We watched them all the while--
The little, shining, fretful tear
Got beaten by the smile.
Love One Another
Silly little Mary,
Sulking all the day,
While the other children
