B._ - - - And, though he never could explain, - I don't mind telling you - That in that box he had been lain - By those who made him, limb and brain, - And stitched his eyes on, too. - It's odd, you'll think, they joined his toes - And gave him such a head and nose. - - But there on the broad countryside - Was he, a homeless lad. - Another might have sat and cried, - But Edward, no. "Whate'er betide, - If work is to be had, - I'll take," thought he, "what Fortune brings - And live in hopes of better things." - - A farmhouse stood not far away, - So first there Edward tried, - And was engaged to herd by day - And night the farmer's sheep, which stray, - Whene'er they can, and hide. - And so a paper Edward bought - And sat and watched and read and thought. - - He read through each advertisement - To see if he could find - A place he thought would suit his bent, - In which he could be quite content - And cultivate his mind. - --He read so hard and thought so deep - He quite forgot about the sheep. - - But when at last he looked around, - His flock could not be seen. - He shouted, called, and searched the ground, - The sheep were nowhere to be found - (They knew that he was green); - And when in fear he ventured back, - I scarce need say he got the sack. - - He went away with many sighs - And sight a little dim, - But suddenly, to his surprise, - A woolly head with shining eyes - Peered through the hedge at him. - "If you will let me come with you," - It said, "I always will be true." - - Our Edward with delight agreed; - "It looks," he thought, "quite tame; - A counsellor and friend I need, - Besides, it may serve as a steed." - And so he asked its name. - "I'm Horace, so they all allege," - It said, and scrambled through the hedge. - - So side by side, o'er hill and dale, - The gallant heroes strode, - And Horace frisked his stumpy tail - And joked with every frog and snail - And chaffed each slug and toad. - But silent Edward longed for fame - And by great deeds to make a name. - - He also wished he had a hat - --The day was very warm-- - But soon he ceased to think of that, - For lo! beside the road there sat - Two maids of sweetest charm. - 'Twas saucy Sue and modest Moll, - Who sported a red parasol. - - Then Edward's heart beat high with pride, - He drew himself erect - And said to Horace, "Quick, now! stride - As if you wore Newfoundland hide - And follow with respect." - But, 'spite of all their dashing air, - The maids preserved their glassy stare. - - A flush o'erspread poor Edward's cheek, - He walked on very fast, - And Horace followed, very meek. - But all at once they heard a shriek - From the fair dames they'd passed: - --Enraged to see their sunshade red, - A wild bull charged with lowered head. - - "Ah, here's my chance," brave Edward cried, - And, counting not the cost, - He rushed back to the maidens' side; - To stop the bull he vainly tried - And was most painfully tossed. - "Alas!" he thought, "no luck to-day; - --But _they_, at least, have got away." - - Sad Horace hastened to the spot - And rendered him first aid, - Then set off at his quickest trot - For help. Poor Edward groaned a lot: - "Why was I ever made?" - --I'm not surprised he had the hump, - He came down such an awful bump. - - And as he sat, there passed him by - Two visions of delight; - Each viewed with fond, maternal eye - And hugged--it made poor Edward sigh-- - A golliwoggy fright. - He tried to cry to them out loud, - But nothing came--he felt too proud. - - They walked straight past and soon were gone, - Poor Edward could have cried. - He knew that he belonged to one, - That he would one day be her son, - But he was dumb from pride. - He felt that of the two he'd choose - The one with soft red hair and shoes. - - But Horace soon returned and said - He nowhere help could find; - So Edward mounted him instead - And held on by his charger's head. - (Now wasn't Horace kind?) - They travelled thus o'er hill and plain - Till Edward was quite well again. - - To get a place where he could thrive - Our Edward found was hard, - But soon he was engaged to drive - A railway train, and did contrive - That Horace should be guard. - One day he saw what made him quail - --A sleepy tortoise on the rail! - - He found he hadn't time to stop, - Though manfully he tried, - So biff! and crash! and up and flop! - They went. The tortoise did not hop - But went on, sleepy-eyed. - Poor Edward knew what was in store, - --Of course he got the sack once more. - - The next employment Edward found - Was towing someone's barge. - Their cargo weighed full many a pound, - And as beside the stream they wound - Their burden felt so large - That Horace, every hour or so, - Said, "Are you sure coal doesn't grow?" - - But onward still brave Edward strode - And onward trudged his steed; - Though leaden grew their lumpy load - No signs of giving in they showed - Till, all at once, a reed - Upset the barge, the cargo sank - And left them workless on the bank. - - Soon after that they came across - Some races in full swing. - Said Edward, "Horses cannot toss - And you can serve me as a hoss, - --'Twill be the very thing." - So Horace summoned all his strength - And came in first by half a length. - - But Horace felt so very done - And very short of breath - (You see, he was not built to run - So fast), he gasped that even one - More race would be his death. - So Edward mournfully supposed - A jockey's life to him was closed. - - To give good Horace perfect rest - They lay awhile at ease. - They found a hammock suited best, - Exchanging quip and merry jest - With frogs and bumble-bees, - And Edward helped stray leaves and twigs - Along the stream with gentle digs. - - When Horace was quite well again - They set out on their way. - One day they heard a distant strain - And, tramping o'er the dusty plain - With music loud and gay, - A brawny-chested regiment - Marched past, on death or glory bent. - - The sight so fired brave Edward's soul, - He set off in the rear. - Said he, "The cavalry's our goal, - --A charger is your proper role;" - But Horace shook with fear. - "If we," he thought, "the foe should seek, - I shall be mutton in a week!" - - But when they reached the barrack-yard - And wanted to enlist, - The sergeant called out to the guard - Their measurements, punched Edward hard - And gave his neck a twist. - "You've got no chest at all," said he. - "No good!" thought Edward tearfully. - - "It's not my fault I've got no chest, - They should have made it broad," - He grumbled; but with noble zest - He searched the country east and west - To find some noble lord - Who might excuse his tender age - And take him on to be his page. - - And when at last he did succeed, - While Horace stayed indoors, - He took two poodles on a lead - Out walking every day. Their breed - Was such that on all fours - They utterly disdained to go, - Like Lion, Unicorn and Co. - - They led poor Edward such a dance, - He scarce could hold them in; - They tugged as if their only chance - In life was to get home to France - And join their kith and kin. - At last they got away by force, - And Edward got the sack--of course. - - He wandered on with Horace till - They reached a sheltered spot, - And watched with quite an envious thrill - Two boys who handled with great skill - A trim, fast-sailing yacht. - "O for an opportunity," - Sighed Edward, "to put out to sea!" - - The chance they wanted soon occurred - --The boys went in to tea. - By thoughts of danger undeterred - They boarded, tacked and, in a word, - Were happy as could be. - They did not see the rising cloud - That threatened every spar and shroud. - - With all their sails set to the breeze, - They were quite unprepared - To meet the squall. Great tow'ring seas - Tossed them about like shipwrecked peas; - They would most ill have fared - Had not a tortoise saved the twain - --He who derailed the railway train. - - He took them on his brawny back - And swam with them ashore. - "This slight return I owe for lack - Of thought," said he, "when o'er the track - I crawled;--I'd do much more, - But this, at least, will prove to you - How much that sad event I rue." - - They thanked him for his kindly deed - And then resumed their march, - But when the time was come to feed - They found they'd nought to meet the need - Except a piece of starch. - Said Edward, "This will never do; - Your wool, old chap, would be like glue." - - They had no work, they had no food, - But hungrier they grew. - At last said Horace, "What's the good - Of starving slowly? In the wood - There's game enough for two. - I feel quite faint, so get a gun - And see what you can shoot, my son." - - This was for Edward the last straw, - And so he took a gun; - For Horace he would brave the law, - Whate'er betide. So when he saw - A hare start up and run, - He took fair aim with steady wrist - And fired--but luckily he missed. - - A policeman heard the loud report - And hurried to the scene. - He hailed the poachers off to court, - And there their shrift was very short - --The judge's wit was keen: - He sentenced them to prison-shop - And hoped that long in there they'd stop. - - Now prison-shop, of course, is where - All dolls, when made, must go - Until some maiden, kind and fair, - Buys them and saves them from despair. - And this is why, you know, - They have such eager, anxious eyes, - As each to catch your notice tries. - - So Edward was marched off to jail - And guarded night and day - Amid a throng of beauties frail, - While Horace, looking somewhat pale, - Scanned all who passed that way, - For both of them hoped she would see - And rescue them from misery. - - At last there came a day of joy, - She stopped before the shop, - And with her was a handsome boy; - They viewed with interest each toy - From yacht to humming-top. - (They were, I may remark off-hand, - Penelope and Hildebrand.) - - Cold beads of perspiration stood - On Edward's frantic brow; - He feared lest his own mother should - Not notice him (as if she could - Have missed her own son, now!). - But, scarcely glancing at the rest, - Pen saw at once he was the best. - - "O what a pleasant person, look!" - She cried to Hildebrand, - "I must have him by hook or crook!" - --In point of fact 'twas by a hook - Held in the shopman's hand, - Which hoisted Edward by the seat, - A part adapted for the feat. - - Now Pen had put her pennies by - To save poor dolls from fate - By buying them, and you should try - To do the same. The Buttoneye - Was marked, "Price two and eight." - 'Twas dear, but Pen was quite content - To think her savings so well spent. - - The ransom very soon was paid - And Edward, once more free, - Borne off in triumph. Though arrayed - In shabby coat and trousers frayed - And baggy at the knee, - He was more precious to Pen's heart - Than if they'd been quite new and smart. - - And faithful Horace, too, was bought - --Pen saw by Edward's eye - No freedom for himself he sought - If his pet lamb's fate should be fraught - With doubt--he'd rather die. - But Horace had to run like mad, - So fast a pace his mistress had. - - "I'd go through twice as much for this," - Thought Edward with a sigh - As he received his hundredth kiss, - And Horace, wrapped in wool and bliss, - Just winked the other eye. - And how they relished, to be sure, - The other dolls' discomfiture! - - "I know the hard times you've been through," - Said Pen, and kissed them both, - "But nothing now need worry you - For here your life begins anew--" - ("Hurray!" fat Horace quoth), - "--And when we seek the country air - I'm sure we'll find adventures there." - - And Pen proved quite a prophetess - For, shortly after that, - They met a lovely--well, what?--guess! - What dream of perfect loveliness - D'you think I'm hinting at? - Well, if your Dad is pleased with you, - Perhaps he'll buy you that book[A] too. - -[A] The Little Blue Rabbit. - -Printed in Bavaria - - - * * * * * - - THE LITTLE MOTHER STORIES. - - Uniform in price and similar in style: - - 1.
