We have just secured a few copies of the book entitled, MOTHER TRUTH’S MELODIES. Its design is to displace the nonsensical rhymes of Mother Goose with those which will not only entertain but profit. Notice the first verse:—
“Mother Goose, Mother Goose,
Why fly away?”
“Because Mother Truth is
A-coming to-day.
She’ll tell you funny things,
But they’ll be true;
She’ll bring you pictures
So charming and new;
She’ll sing you Melodies, helping to show
How, to true women and men, you may grow.”
The following quotation indicates the plan of the book still more in detail:—
Mama, ’tause I’m tross don’t whip me;
I tan’t help it, not a bit!
’Tis the tandy hurts my stomat,
And that mates me whine and fret.
Sometimes, too, I’m whipped for trossness,
When the trossness tomes from meat;
Think how tiders drowl and drumble,
And then dive me food to eat
That will mate me well and happy,—
Wheat and oat-meal, rice and fruit,
These will mate me dood and gentle,
’Stead of mating me a brute.
The book is fully illustrated, contains 352 pages, is bound in cloth, and will be sent post-paid for $1.00
