ST. NICHOLAS. Vol. XI. MAY, 1884. No. 7. (Copyright, 18S4, by The CENTURY CO.) In the soft, green light of the leafy June,Rocket and Flyer sat humming a tune:Humming and chatting, they soberly swayedIn the hammock under the lindens shade. Said Rocket to Flyer : To make themquite strong,Mamma said we scarcely could take too muchpains ; Oh, yes! answered Flyer, and ever so long ! But, how funny for horses to make their ownreins ! A live pair of horses. They worked side by side,As each a crochet-needle daintily plied.Their real names were Fanny and Marjorie Blair, , And never was seen a more beautiful pair. Spirited, supple, strong, gentle, and fleet Were Rocket and Flyer, as Robbieallowed.Rob was their master,— so chubby and sweet,T was plain to be seen why his horses wereproud. Such a grip as he had ! Such a whoa / and a go.Such a power over horses — (of their kind, you know);Such a genius for making them follow his will,—For making them amble, or holding them still !
