CHARLEY'S OPINION.
Reading edition
The girls may have their dollies, Made of china or of wax: I prefer a little hammer, And a paper full of tacks. There's such comfort in a chisel! And such music in a file! I wish that little pocket-saws Would get to be the style! My kite may fly up in the tree; My sled be stuck in mud; And all my hopes of digging wells Be nipped off in the bud: But with a little box of nails, A gimlet and a screw, I'm happier than any king: I've work enough to do.
Anna E. Treat.
