	The Maiden and the Bird. Concluded.

	Bird. " Thanks, little maiden, for all thy care, But I love dearly the clear cool air, And my snug little nest in the old oak tree. Maiden. •' Little bird, little bird, stay with me." Bird. " Nay, little damsel, away I'll fly To green fields, and warmer sky ; When spring returns with pattering rain You'll hear my merry song again. "	Maiden. "Little bird, little bird, who'll guide thee Over the hills and over the sea? Foolish one, come in the house to stay, For I'm very sure you 11 lose your way." Bird. " Ah, no, little maiden ! God guides me Over the hills and over the sea; I will be free as the rushing air, And sing of sunshine every where."
	66. Fido and His Master.

	3 Come, come, my pretty Fido, Stand up for some sport! No, no, my little master, I'd much rather not; I hate such a riot, So let me be quiet, A-dreaming, dreaming, dreaming so sweet.	4 Come, come, my little Fido, Come here for some meat! Yes, yes, my little master. It smells good and sweet; I long to begin it, I come, then, this minute , I think it, think it, think it a treat
