THE WET NURSE.

By John Jones

PERCHANCE, should you the child‘ let fall,’

Confessing it‘ wo n't do at all;’

None can the secret e'er discover,

And if it dies, the danger's over.

To your own breast confine the bilk,

And save — your‘ breasteziz’ of milk.

Wean‘ such as live’ as soon as may be,

Out o’ the way of the next baby.
