St Nicholas [serial] . That theywouldnot budgea frac-tion of aquarter of aninch ! And a spiteful Dun-ning Letter gave apert and painfulpinch. If you knew, pipedPollys letter, witha quaver in itsvoice, What delightful newsI carry it wouldmake your heartsrejoice!I am going, just asfast as Uncle Samcan carry me,To invite Louisa Jenkins to a charming PollyTea. Now this poor Louisa Jenkins seldom has one bit of fun;And my dearest Mistress Polly (who is like a little sun,With her face so bright and beaming) wants to cheer her up, you see,And has sent the invitation (and I m proud of it!) by me. There will be three kinds of ice-cream, angel-cake, and maca-roons (You should see our Pollys tea-setwith the pretty silver spoons!); Lemonade, and pinks and roses, dollsand strawberries and cream ! (Wish that I could only be there, justto see Louisa beam!). Then the big, bluff Business Letter said, You voice my sentiments;And the spiteful Dunning Letter beamed with bland benevolence;And all joined unanimously with the U. S. DocumentIn declaring t was essential such a letter should be sentOn its way with special honors, and arrive in tip-top style ;And each Postal Card beamed broadly, with a thin, but cheerful smile. Then they helped the Little Letter to an airy upper station,And treated it, as it deserved, with marked consideration,And formed its body-guard until it reached its destination.
