AN OLD MAXIM.

COME, "Silvertongue," and hear the tale

Of that little girl of yore,

Who sat up in a straight-

backed chair

With her tiptoes on

the floor,

And listened to her eld-

ers,

Like a little voiceless

bird:

Dear little model las-

sie,

Who was seen, but

never heard.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
