BLIND MAN'S BUFF.

When the win ter winds are blow ing, And we ga ther glad and gay, Where the fire its light is throw ing, For a mer ry game at play, There is none that to my know ing, And I've play ed at games enough, Makes us laugh, and sets us glow ing Like a game at Blind man's Buff.

THE DEAD ROBIN.

All through the win ter, long and cold, Dear Minnie ev ery morn ing fed The little spar rows, pert and bold, And ro bins, with their breasts so red.
