 " Have you not the words of the pieces your 
 little scholar's sing i\t your interesting concerts," 
 is an every-day interrogation." 
 
 f This little book contains Songs in great 
 
 ' variety. Songs for the School-room, and of 
 School, of the Seasons, of Home, of Love Affec- 
 tion, Duty, Temperance, &c. Ac, and the " Fes- 
 tival of the Rose," as well as such pieces as are 
 most popular at my Juvenile Concerts. The 
 Music to most of the pieces is well known. Many 
 of them are Melodies that we cannot part with 
 upon any consideration, as they are interwoven 
 with our very being, and the early and fond as- 
 sociations of our youth. The metre is so simple 
 that it will not be difficult to substitute an air, 
 for any of those named, you may not happen to 
 know. (Names of pieces, or what book taken 
 from, will be found in the index, opposite each 
 name of song.)

 And to my young friends to whom this 
 little work is respectfully dedicated, I would say, 
 that I hope you may take as much pleasure in 
 rehearsing the little songs, as I have taken pains 
 in getting up something to gratify you, and we 
 shall both be rewarded with pleasure. The 
 world, my young friends, as you travel life's rug- 
 ged path, will oft times look drear. Places, 
 though palaces, will be uninviting. Faces, though 
 fair, will be wanting in loveliness, and songs how- 
 ever well received by others, will have lost their 
 sweetness to you ; yet the pleasing recollection of 
 the places, times, and friends, (don't forget your 
 old teacher,) associated with the songs of this 
 little book, will bring a beam of pleasurable satis- 
 faction when time shall have advanced far into 
 the vale of the future.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 As soon as children have learned by imitation, 
 to give utterance to musical sounds, or to sing 
 songs by rote, and while they are still learning, 
 they may begin to acquire a knowledge of nota- 
 tion, or of written musical characters. The rudi- 
 ments in books in general use, although cLximing 
 to be simple, and intended only for children, are 
 found to be quite above their capacity, — 
 One great reason why children do not love 
 rudiments, is, because they are discouraged in the 
 outset, from not being able to comprenend the 
 lessons. The proper way to begin with children 
 is, to be sure not to introduce any thing they will 
 not at onc^ understand, and by no means weary 
 them. In this way they begin to have confi- 
 dence in themselves, which strengthens every step 
 they take. 
 
 Any Mother, Governess, or Teacher of primary 
 school, who can sing herself, (although not, per- 
 haps, able to read music,) may, by the help of 
 these few directions, be enabled to give the little 
 one a successful start in the right direction, pre* 
 paratory to the introduction of elementary works 
 in common use, and on a larger scale.

A FEW LITTLE 
 RUDIMENTAL LESSONS, 
 
 FOR LITTLE BEGINNERS. 
 
 The correct pronunciation of words, in connec- 
 tion with Musical sounds, should be among the 
 first lessons in learning to sing. No matter how 
 well a person may be able to manage their voice, 
 how flexible, how soft or powerful, if they fail in 
 distinct 'pronunciation^ the effect to the hearer is 
 nearly, if not altogether, lost. Hahitj has all to do 
 in correct or incorrect pronunciation (unless the 
 organs of speech are naturally deranged), and 
 how much should every parent, teacher, and 
 pupil, endeavour to overcome ill acquired habits 
 in pronunciation. A few short rules, well ob- 
 served, will greatly assist the pupil. It is quite 
 necessary though, that a teacher should give ex- 
 amples, requiring the scholar to imitate. 
 
 RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 
 
 Vowel sounds, are the only sounds that should 
 be sustained, or prolonged. All mutes should be 
 distinctly heard at the termination of words. 
 The following sentence will serve to illustrate the 
 absurdity of the incorrect termination of words. 
 
 " Lord, I believe a rest remains 
 
 To all thy people known." 
 It is too often rendered somewhat thus. 
 
 Lor di belev var-es-t, remmain-s, 
 
 To al-1 thye peep-pel known-n-e. 
 Now, although this may seem to be exaggerated, 
 yet if those who think so, will but take the pains 
 to notice the pronunciation of some persons, when 
 Ihcy attempt to sing, (themselves and their own 
 children in many cases included,) they will find 
 that many of the consonants are used in blending

 words together, until, in fact, it amounts only to 
 nonsense. The position of the lips and organs of 
 speech should be unchanged while sounding the 
 vowels. 
 
 The following lessons should be committed to 
 memory by every child intending to study music, 
 and may just ag well be learned at home, either 
 by parents, or older brothers and sisters, thereby 
 saving much trouble to the teacher, (and, in fact, 
 expense to themselves.) The large number of 
 Juvenile works on the Elements of music, at every 
 one^s hand, is a sufficient apology for brevity under 
 this head.

 kinds of notes on slates, or paper, which they should have 
 for that purpose.

 LESSON 5th. 
 
 The staff is divided into small portions, by per- 
 pendicular lines drawn across it. These lines are 
 called bars.. The distance from one bar to an- 
 other is called a measure. All music is divided 
 into measures, thus :•— 
 
12 
 
 Measure. Bar. Measure. Bar. Measure. Bar. Measure.

 have a variety of notes of different 
 lengths —whole, half, quarter, &c., it will be diffi- 
 cult to give to each its proper value or portion of 
 time, while singing, without some rule by which 
 to divide time. This rule is as follows : 
 
 BEATING TIME. 
 
 To beat time is to motion with the band, as, 
 down, up ; — down, left, up ; — down, left, right, up. 
 
 Questions. — How is the staff divided ? What 
 are these lines called ? What is the distance from 
 one bar to another called ? What rule have we 
 for giving to each note its portion of time ? De- 
 scribe the different ways of beating time.

 For it was my greatest pride, 
 
 That she should see me ride.

 Beside her blooming bower : 
 She twined the opening roses, 
 
 (Herself, the sweetest flower ;) 
 My hat I gently raised, 
 And on her beauty gazed.

 I spurred him very sly,

 Then off he went, like wind, - 
 
 And left me there behind. 
 II: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, pony stop, stop, 
 stop, stop, amiably. :|| 
 
 4. On bands and knees I scramble, 
 
 And reach, at length, dry land, 
 And I in such a pickle, 
 Before her face I stand ! 
 But worse than all, by half, 
 I heard Miss Anna laugh I 
 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho,

 WANDERING BOY. 
 
 When the winter wind whistles along the wild

 And my h<^art it Is cold as it beats in my breast, 
 No father, no mother, no kindred have I,

 But I once had a home, and I once had a sire. 
 And a mother who granted each infant desire, 
 Our cottage it stood in the wood embowered vale/ 
 II: Where the ring dove would warble its sorrowful 
 tale. 
 
 But my father and mother were summoned away, 
 And left me to hard-hearted strangers a prey : 
 I fled from their rigors with many a sigh, 
 : And now I'm a poor littlo wandering boy. :|| 
 
 The winter is cold and the snow loads the gale, 
 
 And no one will list to my innocent tale ; 
 
 Then I'll go to the grave where my parents both 
 
 lie, 
 II: And death shall befriend the poor wandering

 BOAT SONG. 
 
 1. Solo — There's melody, boys, in the splashing oal 
 
 And many a beautiful beaming eye, 
 Looks on our barque as it leaves the shore, 
 Like a bird o'er the crested waves to fly. 
 Trio, — Arms are strong, and hearts are true, 
 Merrily o'er the waters blue, 
 Cho, — Swiftly and cheerily now we go, 
 
 Pull, lads, steadily I row, lads, row, 
 
 row, lads, row, row, lads, row. 
 Swiftly and cheerily, row, lads, row, 
 row, lads, row, lads, row. 
 
 2. We love our barque, and we love the foam^ 
 
 Which sparkles around us, as merrily we 
 Pull briskly, and sing of the mariner's home^ 
 The bright, the beautiful, boundless £^a. 
 Arms are strong, &c. 
 
 3. Pull, lads, altogether, pull cheerily and strong, 
 
 Our boat is a beauty, she's worthy our pride, 
 Pull steadily brothers, and join in the song. 
 Which praises the life of the sons of the tide. 
 Arms L'.z strong, &c. 
 
 4. Row gallantly, brothers, away from the shore, 
 
 Our boat like a fairy barque dances along ; 
 Pull away, pull away, every dip of the oar, 
 As it kisses the waters, keeps time with our song. 
 
 Arms are strong, &c. 
 
 TWINKLE LITTLE STAR.

 Thanks you for your tiny spark ; 
 He could not see where to go, 
 If you did not twinkle so. 
 
 Twinkle, twinkle, &c.

 In my window often peep ; 
 For you never shut your eye

 THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE ROBIN. 
 
 1. There came to my window, 
 
 One morning in spring, 
 A sweet little Robin, 
 
 She came there to sing 
 II : The tune that she sang, 
 
 It was prettier far 
 Than ever I heard 
 
 On the flute or guitar. :!| 
 
 2. Her wings she was spreading 
 
 To soar far away ; 
 Then resting a moment 
 
 Seemed sweetly to say : 
 j]: *0h happy, how happy 
 
 This world seems to be ; 
 Awake little girl 
 
 And be happy with me. :il

 Her beautiful song, * 
 A thoughtless young man 
 With his gun came along ;

 My Robm away : 
 She'll never sing more 
 At the break of the day. :|| 
 
 TRY AGAIN. 
 
 1. 'Tis a lesson you should heed, 
 
 Try, try, an^ain. 
 If at first you don't succeed, 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 Then your courage should appear, 
 For if vou will persevere, 
 You will conquer, never fear, i 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 
 2. Once or twice, though you should fail. 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 If you would at last prevail, 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 If we strive 'tis no disgrace 
 Though we may not win the race ; 
 What should we do in that case ? 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 
 3. If you find your task is hard, 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 Time will bring you your reward, 
 
 Try, try, again. 
 All that other folks can do, 
 Why, with patience, should not you \ 
 Only keep this rule in view. 
 
 Try, try, again .

 THE MOON IS VERY FAIR AND BRIGHT. 
 
 1. The moon is very fair and bright, 
 
 And now is rising high ; 
 I think it is a pretty sight 
 
 To see it in the sky ; 
 It shone upon me where I lay, 
 
 And seem'd almost as bright as day. 
 
 2. The stars are very pretty too, ^ 
 
 And scatter'd all about ; 
 Somethnes they seem but very few, 
 
 But soon the rest come out : 
 I'm sure I could not count them all, 
 
 They are so bright, and very small. 
 
 3. But brighter is the sun than they. 
 
 He blazes in the skies ; 
 I dare not turn my face that way, 
 
 Unless I shut my eyes : 
 Yet when he shines, our hearts revive, 
 
 And all the trees rejoice and thrive. 
 
 4. More glorious than the moon or sun 
 
 And all the stars of light ; - 
 
 Is he who made them every one 
 
 By His own power and might : 
 And when we end our mortal race, 
 
 The pure in heart shall see his face. 
 
 LITTLE ROBIN.

 So let us now the table set ;

 Here, Lord, I pledge per^ ^tual hate, to all that

 Nor will I take thy holy name, upon my sinful 
 
 lips in vain ; 
 These vows, Lord, may I fulfil, 
 And thus perform thy holy will.

 THIS WORLD IS NOT SO BAD A WORLD.

 As some would like to make it, , 
 
 Tho' whether good, or whether bad, 
 
 Depends on how we take it ; 
 For if we scold and fret all day,

 ilave plenty of employment, 
 They surely must be hard to please, 
 
 Who cannot find enjoyment

 In rain or pitasant weather ; 
 If people would but icara to live 
 
 In harmony together ; 
 And cease to burst the kindly bond, 
 
 By love and peace cemented, 
 And learn that best of lessons yet, 
 
 To always be contented. 
 
 4, Then were this world a pleasant world, 
 
 And pleasant folks were in it, 
 The day would pass most pleasantly. 
 
 To those who thus begin it ; 
 And all the nameless grievances, 
 
 Brought on by borrowed troubles. 
 Would prove, as certainly they arc, 
 
 A mass of empty bubbles.

 For a brother dear to me, 
 
 From Swissiand a ranger.

 And buy a little toy of poor 
 Rose of Lucerne, a little toy, a little toy.

 Come buy a little toy of poor Rose of Lucerne.

 THE CLOCK. 
 Adapted to physical action. 
 
 |l. See the neat little clock in the corner it stands, 
 And points out the time with its two little hands. 
 The one shows the moments, and the other shows 
 
 the hour, 
 As you often may see in the Church's high tower. 
 
 2. The pendulum swings inside the long case, 
 And sends tbe two hands round its circular face. 
 And lest they more on too slow, or too quick, 
 It swings to and fro, with a tick, tick a tick. 
 
 3. There's a few liitle bells which the hammer does 
 knock. 
 
 And when we hear that, we can tell what o'clock, 
 
 We mark 1 2 and 4, for then its tbe rule, 
 
 Our lessons to finish, and march out of school. 
 
 4. Hark, hark, now it strikes, there's one, two, three, 
 four. 
 
 Five, six, seven, eight, will it strike any more ? 
 Oh yes if you listen, you'll hear when it's done. 
 Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and the next will be one. 
 
 5. Now the wheels would not move, nor the pendulum 
 swing. 
 
 Nor the hammer's tap-tap, make the little bell ring, 
 
 ; i

 Only two heavy weights move the wheels round and] 
 
 round, 
 And while they're in motion, they will make a sound.] 
 
 6. So may T, like the Clock, with my face clear and 
 bright, 
 
 And my hands while they're moving always do right, 
 The tongue must be guided to say, whe < is true 
 Wherever I go, and whatever I do.

 Meet ne'er to sever ? 
 When will peace wreath her chain

 Our hearts will ne'er repose,

 In this dark vale of woes : 
 
 Never ; no, never. 
 
 2. When shall love freely flow, 
 
 Pure as life's river ? 
 When shall sweet friendship glow 
 
 Changeless for ever ? 
 Where joys celestial thrill, 
 Where bliss each heart shall fill, 
 And fears of parting chill, 
 , Never ; no, never. 
 
 3. Up to that world of light, 
 
 Take us, dear Saviour ; 
 May we all there unite, 
 
 Happy for ever ; 
 Where kindred spirits dwell, 
 There may our music swell, 
 And time our joys dispel. 
 
 Never ; no, never.

 Meet, ne'er to sever ; 
 Soon shall peace wreath her chain

 As we are often told j 
 
 Another can't refuse a pot, 
 
 Because he's very cold. 
 
 2. A third will drink because he's wet, 
 
 Its benefit to try ; 
 , A fourth must sure a tankard get, 
 Because he's very dry. 
 
 3. Another must a bargain make, 
 
 And have a glass to strike it ; 
 
 While one and all the liquor take, 
 
 Because, in fact, they like it. 
 
 GENTLE NETTIE MOORE. 
 
 1, In a little white cottage. 
 Where the trees are ever green, 
 
 And the climbing roses blossom by the door : 
 
 I've often sat and listened 
 
 To the music of the birds. 
 And the gentle voice of charming Nettie Moore. 
 
 O ! I miss you, Nettie Moore. 
 
 And my happiness seems o'er, 
 While i>, spirit sad around my heart has come ; 
 
 And the busy days are long. 
 
 And the nights are lonely now, 
 For you^r gone from our little cottage home. 
 
 2. Below us in the valley, 
 
 On the river's dancing tide, 
 Of a summer eve I'd launch my opea boat : 
 
61 
 
 And when the moon was rising, 
 And the stars begin to shine, 
 Down the river we so merrilj did float. 
 Oh I I miss you, etc. 
 
 3. And often in the autumn. 
 Ere the dew had left the lawn. 
 
 We would wander o'er the fields far away ; 
 
 But those moments have departed, 
 
 Gentle Nettie too, is gone. 
 And no longer sweetly with her can I stray. 
 
 4. Since the time that you departed, 
 I have longed from earth to rise, 
 
 And join the happy angels gone before ; 
 
 I cannot now be merry, 
 
 For my heart is full of woe, 
 Ever pining for my gentle Nettie Moore. 
 
 «■*» 
 
 5. You are gone, darling Nettie, 
 I have mourned you many a day. 
 
 But I'll wipe all the tears from my eyes. 
 For as soon as life is past, 
 I shall meet you once again. 
 
 In heaven, darling, up above the skies. 
 
 ANNIE LISLE.

 'Neath the sunbeams smile ;

 JAMIE^S ON THE STORMY SEA. 
 
 1. Ere the twilight bat was flitting, 
 In the sunset, at her knitting, 
 Sang a lonely maiden, sitting 
 Under neath her threshold tree. 
 And, ere daylight died before us, 
 And the vesper stars shone o'er us. 
 Fitful rose her tender chorus 
 
 Jamie's on the stormy sea. 
 
 2. Warmly shone the sunset glowing. 
 Sweetly breathed the young flow'rs blowing, 
 Earth, with beauty overflowing. 
 
 Seemed the home of love to be, 
 As those angels tones ascending, 
 With the scene and season blending, 
 Ever had the same low ending, 
 Jamie's on the stormy sea. 
 
 3. Curfew bells remotely ringing, 
 Mingled with that sweet voice singing. 
 And the last red ray semmed clinging, 
 Lingeringly to tower and tree ; 
 Nearer as I came» and nearer, 
 
 Finer rose the notes, and clearer. 
 Oh ! 'twas heaven itself to hear her, 
 Jamie's on the stormy sea. 
 
 4. How could I bnt list, but linger, 
 To the song, and near the singer, 
 Sweetly wooing heaven to bring her 
 Jamie from the stormy sea : 
 
 And while yet her lips did name me, 
 Forth I sprang, my heart o'ercame me. 
 Grieve no more, sweet, I am Jamie, 
 Home returned f o love and thee.

 THE LONE STARRY HOURS. 
 
 1. Oh 1 the lone starry hours give me love, 
 When still is the beautiful night ; 
 When the round laughing moon I see, love, 
 Peep thro' the clouds silver white. 
 ' When no winds thro' the low woods, sweep, 
 love. 
 And I gaze on some bright rising star ; 
 When the world i3 in dream and sleep, love, 
 Oh ! wake, while I touch ray guitar. 
 Chorus. When no winds thro' the low woods 
 sweep, love. 
 And I gaze on some bright rising star ; 
 When the world is in dream and sleep, 
 love, 
 Oh ! wake, while I touch my guitar. ^^^,, 
 
 2. Till the red rosy morn grows bright, love. 
 Far away o'er the distant sea, 
 Till the stars cease their gentle light, love, 
 
 Will I wait for a welcome from thee. 
 And oh ! if that pleasure is mine love, 
 
 We will wander together afar, 
 My heart shall be thine, thine mine my love, 
 Then wake, while I touch my guitar, 
 Chorus. And oh 1 if that pleasure, etc.

 In the wild wood, by the brookside, 
 Where the sweet flowers are springing, 
 I'm a blue-bird, I'm a blue-bird, 
 In the spring I live gaily. 
 When the'trees are sweetly blooming, 
 Near my nest in the valley. 
 I'm a blue bird I'm a blue bird, 
 Thro' the sweet air I'm roving. 
 With the wild flowers blooming round me, 
 And the green boughs above. 
 ||: Upward springing light at morning, 
 To the grove returning. 
 Where among the branches. 
 Golden sunshine dances. 
 Lightly flitting over honied lields of clover. 
 Thus [ pass the happy day.:|| 
 
 2. I'm a blue-bird, I'm a blue-bird, 
 Thro' the summer delaying, 
 All the morning, till the evening. 
 Thro' the green boughs I'm straying ; 
 I'm a blue-bird, I'm a blue-bird, 
 I'm the friend of the flowers. 
 Singing gaily by the brookside, 
 In the green leafy bowers ; 
 I'm a blue-bird, I'm a blue-bird. 
 In the spring you will greet me, 
 Singing gaily in the morning, 
 On the sweet blooming bough. 
 Ij: When the summer's over swiftly 
 To the sky I lift me. 
 With the feathered legions, 
 Sail to milder regions, 
 There awhile a rover, 
 Till the north wind's over, 
 Till the winter wears away.:|

 To keep our feet from the damp, cold ground.

 He pulls out the last with his hook in a trice ; 
 
 He rasps off the pegSj that they may not prick our 
 
 feet, 
 Then he puts on the polisk with his brush so neat.

 SONG FOR MAY. 
 
 Blooming May makes all gay, 
 Makes the blood right briskly play ; 
 To fresh air we'll repair, 
 Weave us garlands fair. 
 Round us beams the bright sunshine, 
 Flowers drip with odors fine : 
 Birds, they sing, woods, they ring. 
 Glad is every thing. 
 
 Here are seen meadows green, 
 Where the chilly snow has been ; 
 Colors bright, cheer the sight, 
 After winter's night, 
 Ruffled by the light spring breeze, 
 Gleams the brook amid the trees. 
 Sweet retreat, where we meet. 
 In the Summer heat. 
 
 Hail ! oh Spring! Youth you bring, 
 Love and life on all you fling. 
 Years fleet by, all shall die, 
 Yet their spring draws nigh. 
 Emblem of the light to come. 
 And an ever blooming home ; 
 Lovely May we'll away, 
 To the fields so gay.

 Has no lines and furrows wrought by evil hours, 
 For the heart keeps wholesome, trained in 
 
 nature's bowers. Chorus,

 THOUGHTS OF YORE. 
 
 1. I am standing by the window sill, 
 . Where we have stood of yore. 
 
 The button wood is waving still, its brances near 
 the door. 
 And near me creeps the wild rose vine, 
 On which our wreath's were hung, 
 II; Still around the porch its tendrils twine, 
 As when we both were young :|| 
 
 2. The little path that used to lead, down by the 
 river shore, 
 
 Is over grown with briar and wood, not level 
 as before, 
 Hut there's no change upon the hill, 
 
 From whence our voices rung, 
 II: The violets deck its summit still, 
 
 As when we both were yovmg :|| 
 
 • '. And yonder is the old oak tree. 
 
 Beneath whose spreadii^ shade, 
 When our young hearts were light and free, 
 
 In innocence we played ; 
 And over there the meadow gate. 
 
 On which our playmates swung, 
 : Still standing in its rustic state, 
 
 As whou wc both were young :ll 
 
mm II 
 
 f 1

 4. I sec the little moss-grown spot, 
 Beneath the yew-tree's shade, 
 Where early friends (perchance forgot) 
 
 In earth's embrace are laid, 
 The early friends of hope and trust, 
 
 Round whom our being clung, 
 II : All slumber " in the silent dust" 
 Since you and I were young :|| 
 
 SHIP AHOY!

 Sparkling on deck is every eye, 
 ** Ship a-hoy ! ship a-hoy !" our joyful cry, 
 When answering back we faintly hear, 
 " Ship a-hoy I ship a-hoy I what cheer ! what cheer!'' 
 Now sails aback, we nearer come, 
 Kind words are said of friends and home, 
 But soon, too soon we part m pain,

 And homeward, o'er the evening sea. 
 Our vessel iliea ; when dreamy sleep

 Hark ' i'^om \ he top, the watchman's cry,

 THE FROG.* 
 
 1. Of all the funny things that live, 
 In woodland marsh, or bog, 
 
 That creep the ground, or fly the air. 
 
 The funniest thing's the frog ; 
 
 The frog the scientificest of nature's handy work, 
 
 The frog that neither walks nor runs. 
 
 But goes it with a jerk. 
 
 2. With pants and coat of bottle green, 
 And yellow, fancy vest. 
 
 He plunges into mud and mire, 
 All in his Sunday best ; 
 When he sits down, he's standing up, 
 As Pat O'Kim once said. 
 And for convanyance sake he wears, his eyes on 
 top his head. 
 
 3. You see him sitting on a log, 
 Above the " vasty deep," 
 
 You feel inclined to say, " Old chap, 
 
93 
 
 Just look before you leap I" 
 
 You raise your cane to hit him o'er 
 
 His ugly looking mug ; 
 
 But ere you get it half way up, 
 
 A down he goes, ker chug ! 
 
 * For chorus to this song, the scholars may imitate the 
 Frogs ai the end of each verae.

 MY MOTHER DEAR. 
 
 1. There was a place in childhood that I remem- 
 
 ber well, 
 And there a voice of sweetest tone, bright fairy 
 
 tales did tell. 
 And gentle words and fond embrace were given 
 
 with joy to me. 
 When I was in that happy place, upon my 
 
 mother's knee. 
 My mother dear ! my mother dear I My gentle, 
 
 gentle mother.

 softly said, 
 And kissed and laid me down to sleep within 
 mj tiny bed,

 We shall still have no cause for. fear. 
 Then let them please themselves awhile 
 
 Upon their fancied sway, 
 For as long as a woman's possessed of a smile 
 
 She will certainly have her own way. 
 
 4. Now, Ladies, since IVe made it plain 
 
 That the thing is really so, 
 We'll even let them hold the rein. 
 
 But we'll show them the way to go ; 
 As ever since the world began 
 
 It has always been the way, 
 And we'll manage it so that the very last man 
 
 Shall the very last woman obey.

 THE LITTLE MAID. 
 
 1. There was a little maid, and she wore a little 
 
 bonnet 
 The had a little finger, with a little ring upon it, 
 She pressed her little waist, to such a little size 
 That it made her little blood rush to her little 
 
 eyes. 
 
 2. This pretty little maid had a pretty little beau, 
 Who wore a little hat, and gloves as white as 
 
 snow, 
 He said his little heart was in a little flutter, 
 That he loved the little maid, and no one els6 
 
 but her. 
 
 3. She smiled a little smile, when he breathed his 
 
 little vows, 
 And he kissed her little hand, with many little 
 
 bows. 
 . By little and by little, her little heart did yield, 
 Till little tears and sighs, her little he^rt 
 
 revealed. 
 
103 
 
 i, 
 
 4. A little while alas, and her little beau departed, 
 With all his little vows, and left her broken 
 
 hearted. 
 Now all ye little maids, a moral I will give you, 
 Dont trust to little men, they surely will deceive 
 you. 
 
 Encore Verse. 
 
 Kind friends, my little song, may cause a little 
 
 feeling, 
 To little little hearts, that want a little healing, 
 Our costly little goods in little parcels laid, 
 Like little little men, and little little maids. 
 
 I'D CHOOSE TO BE A DAISY. 
 
 1. I'd choose to be a daisy, if I might be a flower, 
 
 My petals closing softly, at twilight's quiet 
 hour, 
 And waking in the morning, when falls the 
 early dew, 
 To welcome heaven's bright sunshine, 
 And heaven's bright tear-drops too. 
 Chorus, — I'd choose &c. 
 
 2. I love the gentle lily, it looks so meek and fair 
 
 But daisies I love better, for they grow every 
 where, 
 The lilies blooming sadly, in sunshine or in 
 shower, 
 But daisies still look upward, however dark 
 the hour. 
 
 Chorus, ^^Vd choose &c. 
 
 THE LITTLE SUP, 
 
 The temp'rance cause, I wish it well, 
 It cries to help come up, * 
 
 if 
 
 ! 
 

 104 
 
 Help yon that choose, but for myself 
 
 I love a little sup. 
 Tlie noble effort I approve, 
 
 And ever cry it up, 
 But ril not sign the pledge, because 
 
 I love a little sup. 
 
 ^S 
 
 Ten thousand tortured wives cry out, 
 
 And beggar'd babes " give up," 
 T hear their cries and pity, but 
 
 I love a little sup. 
 The doctor says it hastens death 
 
 And why not quit the cup. 
 And so I would but I know why, 
 
 I love a little sup. 
 
 The preacher urges next 'tis a sin 
 
 And shames the church, " give up,'^ 
 My secret plea is stronger yet 
 
 I love a little sup. 
 All arguments I can outbrave, 
 
 That bids the pledge take up, 
 This one is proof against their force, 
 
 I love a little sup. 
 
 1 ho' conscience speaks, tho* health declines, 
 
 Tho' nature warns, '^ give up," 
 I hear, and feel, and know ; but 0, 
 
 I love a little sup, 
 Tho' groans, and blood, and death, and hell, 
 
 All cry forsake tha cup, 
 I know 'twere best ; but then, but then, 
 
 I love a little sup.

 Thy banners make tyranny tremble ; 
 When borne by the red, white and blue.

 Old England rode safe through the storm ; 
 With her garlands of vict'ry around her. 
 When so proudly she bore, her brave crew, 
 With her flag proudly floating before her. 
 The boast of the red, white and blue. 
 
 The wine cup, the wine cup bring hither, 
 
 And fill you it true to the brim. 
 
 May the wreath's they have won never whither 
 
 Nor the star of their glory grow dim, 
 
 May the service united ne'er sever, 
 
 But they to their colour's prove true,

THE CANTATA 
 
 « 
 
 OF THE 
 
 FESTIVAL OF THE ROSE, 
 
 OB, 
 
 A DAY IN ARCADIA. 
 
 
 Hi 
 
 
 The " Festival of the Rose," or " A day in Ar- 
 cadia," (from different works, with additions and 
 alterations by the compiler of this book,) repre- 
 sents a festival among shepherds and shepherd- 
 esses, and is founded on a beautiful custom said 
 to prevail in a certain village, viz. : That of crown- 
 ing with a wreath or crown of roses, the maiden 
 who has the year past, been the most dutiful to 
 her parents and teachers, and beloved by her as- 
 sociates for her kindness to all, and for her amiable 
 deportment. (No one should be chosen for queen, 
 who has not these qualifications, and in addition, 
 must be able to sing and speak well.) It would 
 be as well to have variety in dress, (as there is no 
 particular pleasure in beholding a garden where 
 all the flowers are one colour,) and each maiden 
 with a neat wreath of flowers on her head, taking 
 care to have that %>wer (in the wreath and dress) 
 predominate which she personates. The Zephyrs 
 and Fairies, may have their dresses covered with 
 bright bits of gilt or silvered paper, bits of look- 
 ing glasS| spangles, or anything that sparkles, 
 this may be easily and cheaply arranged. The 
 Fays and the Fairy goodwill, the Olive branch.

 The boys may wear evergreen garlands (decked 
 with flowers.) The Marshalls, Heralds, Messen- 
 gers, Sentinel, Shepherds,and Shepherdesses, Wood 
 Nymphs, Naiads, Flora, Faith, Hope, Charity, Maids 
 of Honor, Pages, Graces, Caretakers, &c., &c., &c., 
 all (if convenient) appropriately dressed in charac- 
 ter, and enter in procession and regular order, or 
 if not convenient (for want of ante-rooms, time, 
 &c.,) the scholars may be seated and sing in tho 
 order suggested, and each one having, some office 
 still, or distinguished badge, that none may leel 
 slighted. (Here is a difficulty. " To give each 
 one, as long and as important a part as an other, 
 and keep on the right side of both friends and child- 
 ren.") The Stage (and if possible the Hall,) must be 
 decorated as to represent a little fairy forest with 
 shrubs and flowers ; but not so much as to hide 
 the scholars from the view of the audience. Tis- 
 sue paper is preferable for making flowers. The 
 little girls will soon make a sufficient No. of 
 flowers to decorate the stage with. Make them 
 (at the dictation of older heads,) at your leisure, 
 and then they will be ready when wanted. 
 
 N.B. — Pieces and Characters may be substituted 
 or left out, if it does not destroy the connection. 
 Conductor may use his own discretion. 
 
 The festival commences with an introductory 
 overture, or a voluntary with voices.

 RECITATION. 
 
 By two or more boys as shepherds. 
 
 Lo ! now red sunlight glances o*er the hills, 
 Beams from the brooks, and dances on the rills : 
 Along old oaken glades it gleams in fire. 
 And wakes to music all the forest choir. 
 
 No fisher's skiff invades the waves afar,

 THE ORPHAN FLOWER GIRL. 
 
 The girl who takes this part now enters with 
 hat on, and a basket of flowers, she appears from 
 her manner and dress, not to be identified with the 
 festive party, and looking strangely around on 
 the fairy scene, and seeing all eyes turned to- 
 wards her, ♦timidly withdraws, when the one 
 who is to personate Flora enquires. 
 " Who, pray tell, was the stranger," 
 (Class respond) " The Orphan Flower Girl of 
 the wild moor." 
 Flora, " The 0. F. G., of the wild moor ?" 
 Tis said that modesty her person, and purity 
 her heart adorn.

 our duty, and your pleasure is a sufficient reward 
 fair Flora." 
 (Flora,) Alike regardless all of wealth or state, 
 
 Our motto is, " 27ie good alone are great J^ 
 And if you really think the Orphan Flower Girl 
 worthy, you have no better way, perhaps, of heal- 
 ing the wounds, and, in some measure, of binding 
 up a heart, broken by the unfeeling hand of ad- 
 versity ; of cheering, and causing to return a ray 
 of gladness to the heart that was once as happy 
 and as gay as any here.

 THB R5CRUIT SOLO 
 
 I 
 
 By the Yankee, 
 
 I journeyed once away down east, and came unto 
 
 a city, 
 In which: I thought to stay awhile, and labor, 
 
 more's the pity ; 
 
127 
 
 For there, while strolling down the street, I met a 
 
 drum and fife, sirs ; 
 It was the finest tune they played, Td heard in all 
 
 my life, sirs. 
 
 Dide rum dum dum, &c. 
 
 The interlude ^hetweefif is intended to represent a 
 
 fife or drum. 
 
 A sergeant came to me, and said, " You are a 
 
 sturdy youth sir ; 
 And such a brave and martial air I never saw, in 
 
 truth, sir ; 
 Now if you wish a merry life, and lots of fame and 
 
 glory. 
 Just sign this paper, and my friend, the way is 
 
 strait before ye." 
 
 Dide rum dum dum, &c. 
 
 I signed the paper ; they began to drill me and to 
 
 arm me, 
 And with a crowd of other fools I marched to join 
 
 the army ; 
 Thoy dressed me in uniform of red and blue and 
 
 white, sirs ; 
 We walked all day in heat and dust — slept on the 
 
 ground at night, sirs. 
 
 At length we met a host of men, who seemed much 
 
 such ^s we, sirs ; 
 Folks said it Was the enemy ; thinks I, " What 
 
 can that be 1" sirs. 
 They drew us up on a level land, according to a 
 
 plan, sirs ; 
 The enemy began to point their guns at every maD| 
 
 sirs.

 " Holloa 1" cried I, « don't fire this way ; this field 
 
 is full of people I" 
 But fire they did, and smoke rose up, high as a 
 
 village steeple. 
 The bullets whistled past our ears, the small arms 
 
 made a rattle ; 
 A cannon ball took off my leg, an^dleftme hors du 
 
 battle. 
 
 Dide rum dum dum, &c 
 
 The infantry ran^ over me ; behind, a pack of 
 horsemen, 
 
 Who rolled me as they'd roll a log; I thought my- 
 self a lost man. 
 
 But when enough of fame was made, they stopped 
 the agitation, 
 
 And sent me to the hospital, to suffer amputation. 
 
 Chorus by the class. 
 
 Now, friend, if e'er the road to wealth lies straight 
 
 and free before ye, 
 Keep safe your legs to travel there, and shun the 
 
 way to glory. 
 This glory is a famous word for those who love to 
 
 tattle, 
 But quite another thing to those who're SHOT 
 
 AT in a battle.

 SONa BY THE PRINCE. 
 
 (This may he sung as a Quartette Soloj and Chorus 
 
 if thought best.) 
 Will you come to my mountain home love, 
 Will you come to the hills with me. 
 In the wild woods we will roam love, 
 With our spirits light and free. 
 As gay as the wind we'll dance along, 
 Thy voice shall our music be, 
 Its tones shall rival the birds sweet song 
 With its tuneful melody. 
 I'll deck thy hair with roses rare, 
 That grow on the gentle hills, 
 And thy ruby lip shall the nectar sip. 
 From the mountain sparkling rills. 
 Hark ! Hark, 'tis the woods that shout. 
 
 Chorus Rejoice! 
 Will you come love, come to day,

 Where our happy home shall be, 
 And the bloom on thy cheek so fair love, 
 Ne'er shall fade in the wild wood free. 
 Our dreams shall b of Fairy land, 
 We'll rest by a silvery lake ; 
 And fays shall ever await comrannd. 
 When each rosy morn shall break. 
 
 Solo. And ihus we'll dwell in the gladsome dell, 
 There love will unchanging be, 
 At morning bright. 
 Or pale moonlight, 
 I'll ever be near to thee. Hark I &c. 
 
 ADDRESS BY THE QUEEN AND ATTENDANTS. 
 
 l3t Voice, Once by Euphrates' gently flowing 
 
 stream 
 There bloomed a garden, full of pleasant fruit. 
 And lofty trees, and flowers of every hue, 
 With perfume rich and sweet, where gaily hummed 
 Each bright, innoxious insect ; and the birdp. 
 
 Those songsters of the skies, poured daily fourth 
 A flood of melody. 
 
 • 
 
 2nd V. 0, blest abode 1 
 The sun shone mildly on it. Chilling winds, 
 And snow and hail UD!inown. The fleecy clouds 
 
 Reposed like flocks above, or soothing showers 
 Kefresbed the verdant paths, then doubly green, 
 
 As arched above the flowering palms appeared 
 God's glorious seven hued bow.

 Its fragrant breeze, our eyes in ecstacy 
 Rove on through vistas wide, replete with life, 
 And aje, some forms too fairly made for earth ! 
 
 4th V, Our parentB sinned ; and forth from 
 
 Paradise, 
 In wrath and mercy driven, they tilled the earth, 
 They reaped the fields for bread. At night. 
 
 Fatigued with heavy toil, they slumbered deep, 
 Or dreamed of Eden's bowers. Their sons alike, 
 
 Through years and ages, to remotest time, 
 Must feel the curse, — the blessing 
 
 5th V. But all love 
 
 To muse of Eden ; and full many hands 
 Have planted seed and vine, and reared tall oaks. 
 
 Or on the enduring canvaes carefully 
 Their waking vision drawn ; or from white rocks, 
 
 Have cut the semb.ance of those angel forms 
 That walked once in the gardeu. 
 
 6th v. Virtue and Beauty journey side by side ; 
 Nor can fair Grace with Vice uncouth abide. 
 The cloudless brow that speaks a heart serene 
 The air of innocence in voice and mien, 
 These most adorn; nor can the touch of art 
 A loveliness so heavenlike e'er impart.
