XEBECS are ships with three small masts, And light and fast they sail, But cannot stand a boisterous storm, Or weather a rude gale.

This life is like a wide-spread sea; And, guided by the hand Of Him who made us, we sail on To reach a heavenly land.

YACHTS are small pleasure boats, both light And airy in their form; They float upon a summer sea, But anchor in a storm.

Our anchor is the hope of heaven; When storms of sorrow lower, Secure and firm, we will not fear, Even in the darkest hour.

ZEBRAS in form are like our horse, Though not so tall and slim; Striped and glossy, smooth and bright, And beautiful their skin.

They are not docile, like the horse, They treat man with disdain; They spurn the rider and his whip, His bridle, bit and rein.

"Why must I learn my A, B, C?" Asked little Kate; "it wearies me. I wish to put my book away, I wish to run about and play. There's kitty in the portico, O dear! if I could only go; Indeed, I think it very wrong To make poor kitty wait so long; I'll gather pretty flowers for you, If I may go--do let me, do."

RUN AND PLAY.

Now run away, you little things, And romp, and jump, and play; You have been quiet long enough, So run away, I say.

Fred, you and Lucy roll your hoops; You on a stick can ride; And nurse, with baby, run a race, Or any play beside.

Little boys and girls may romp, And frisk, and jump, and play; Book and lessons both are done: So run away, I say.
