Once, wrhen I licked a feller at had just moved on our street,An father sent me up to bed without a bite to eat,I woke up in the dark an saw things standinin a row,A-lookin at me cross-eyed.an pintin at me—so !Oh, my ! I wuz so skeered that time I never slep a mite—Its almost alluz when Im bad I see things at night ! Lucky thing I aint a girl, or Id be skeered to death IBein Im a boy, I duck my head an hold my breath ;An I am, oh ! so sorry Im a naughty boy, an thenI promise to be better an I say my prayers again Granma tells me thats the only way to make it rightWhen a feller has been wicked an sees things atnight ! An so, when other naughty boys would coax me into sin,I try to skwush the Tempters voice at urges me within ;An when theys pie for supper, or cakes at s big an nice,I want to—but I do not pass my plate fr them things twice !No, ruther let Starvation wipe me slowly out o sightThan I should keep a-livin on an seein things at night :

THE SABINE WOMEN. FROM A PAINTING BY DAVID. The legend of the Sabine women is familiar. In the early days of Rome, Romulus, the citys founder and first king,finding his subjects much lacking in wives, invited the Sabines, a neighboring people, into the city for a feast and games;and in the midst of the sport, he and his followers seized the Sabine mothers and daughters by force of arms, and marriedthem out of hand. Davids picture represents the seizure. Classical subjects were especially preferred by David and hisschool.
