When Nelly reached home, she looked in at the open door, and saw Martin down stairs for the first time since his accident. He was wrapped in shawls; and Nelly said, as she put the full basket on his knees, and waved the branch before his eyes, "Why, brother, they have wrapped you up so, and your face is so pale, that you look like a girl." "Looks are nothing: behavior is all," said Martin, laughing. "Why, Nelly, what a splendid feast we shall have! What big ones! Thank you, dear, dear sister." As she heard those words, and saw his pleased looks, Nelly felt she was well repaid for all her trouble. IDA FAY. [Illustration] [Illustration: Music] LITTLE JACK HORNER. Words by AUNT CLARA. Music by T. CRAMPTON, W. London. 1. Little Jack Horner, He sat in the corner, Crying for something to eat; In came Mother Hubbard, And went to the cupboard, And bro't him a nice plate of meat. Then little Jack Horner Came out of the corner, And threw his nice meat on the floor: "I want some mince pie!" Was the naughty boy's cry, As he clung to the drawing-room door. 2 "I don't like cold lamb; Give me raspberry-jam:" But old Mother Hubbard said, "No! If a boy cannot eat Such nice, wholesome meat, To bed without food he must go." 3 So little Jack Horner, Who cried in the corner, Was washed clean, and put into bed: After sleeping all night, He awoke fresh and bright, And was glad to eat plain meat and bread. * * * * * Transcriber's Notes: Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
