EARLY LESSONS.

Now, Master Puppy, Sit up, if you please; This is for your good, Not in order to teaze.

When a nice little doggie Seems anxious to learn, A kind little master Will not from him turn.

Now you must not be snappish, But just do your best; A five minutes’ lesson, And then you shall rest.

Little Katie and Baby Are anxious to see If you try, like a good pup, To imitate me.

Old Boxer, your friend too, Is curling his tail, And pricking his ears, For fear you should fail.

But if you are careful, I plainly can tell, You will grow quite accomplished, And do very well.
