The charming +little story of "The Little Culprit," in its mixture of humor and +pathos, has been rarely excelled. + +The drawing lessons, consisting of outlines made by Weir from Landseer's +pictures, seem to be fully appreciated by our young readers, and we have +received from them several copies which are very creditable. + +Remember that for teaching children to read there are no more attractive +volumes than "The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful Book," published at this +office. + +The pleasant days of spring ought to remind canvassers that now is a +good time for getting subscribers, and that "The Nursery" needs but to +be shown to intelligent parents to be appreciated. See terms. + +The use of "The Nursery" in schools has been attended with the best +results. We have much interesting testimony on this point, which we may +soon communicate. It will be worthy the attention of teachers and school +committees. + +Subscribers who do not receive "THE NURSERY" promptly, (making due +allowance for the ordinary delay of the mail), are requested to notify +us IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait two or three months and then write +informing us that we have "not sent" the magazine, (which in most cases +is not the fact): but state simply that you have not RECEIVED it; and +be sure, in the first place, that the fault is not at your own +Post-office. Always mention the DATE of your remittance and +subscription as nearly as possible. Remember that WE are not +responsible for the short-comings of the Post-office, and that our +delivery of the magazine is complete when we drop it into the Boston +office properly directed. + +"Every house that has children in it, needs 'The Nursery' for their +profit and delight: and every childless house needs it for the sweet +portraiture it gives of childhood."--Northampton Journal. + + + + +[Illustration: THE DOG WHO LOST HIS MASTER. + + +THE DOG WHO LOST HIS MASTER + + +Spot was a little dog who had come all the way from Chicago to Boston, +in the cars with his master. But, as they were about to take the cars +back to their home, they entered a shop near the railroad-station; and +there, before Spot could get out to follow his master, a bad boy shut +the door, and kept the poor dog a prisoner. + +The cars were just going to start. In vain did the master call "Spot, +Spot!" In vain did poor Spot bark and whine, and scratch at the door, +and plead to be let out of the shop. The bad boy kept him there till +just as the bell rang; and then he opened the door, and poor Spot +ran--oh, so fast!--but the cars moved faster than he. + +Mile after mile poor Spot followed the cars, till they were far out of +sight. Then, panting and tired, he stopped by the roadside, and wondered +what he should do, without a home, without a master. + +He had not rested many minutes, when he saw two little girls coming +along the road that crossed the iron track. They were Nelly and Julia, +two sisters. Spot thought he would try and make friends with them. + +But they were afraid of strange dogs. Julia began to cry; and Nelly +said, "Go away, sir; go home, sir: we don't want any thing to do with +you, sir." + +Spot was sorry to be thus driven off. He stopped, and began to whine in +a pleading sort of way, as if saying, "I am a good dog, though a +stranger to you. I have lost my master, and I am very hungry. Please let +me follow you. I'll be very good. I know tricks that will please you." + +The children were not so much afraid when they saw him stop as if to get +permission to follow. "He is a good dog, after all," said Nelly: "he +would not force his company on us; he wants his dinner. Come on, sir!" + +Thus encouraged, Spot ran up, wagging his tail, and showing that he was +very glad to find a friend. He barked at other dogs who came too near, +and showed that he meant to defend the little girls at all risks. + +When they arrived home, they gave him some milk and bread, and then took +him into the sitting-room, and played with him. "Beg, sir!" said Nelly; +and at once Spot stood upright on his hind-legs, and put out his +fore-paws. + +Then Julia rolled a ball along the floor; and Spot caught it almost +before it left her hand. "Now, die, sir, die!" cried Nelly; and, much to +her surprise, Spot lay down on the floor, and acted as if he were dead. + +When papa came home, and saw what a good, wise dog Spot was, he told the +children they might keep him till they could find the owner. + +A week afterwards, they saw at the railroad-station a printed bill +offering a reward of thirty dollars for Spot. + +He was restored at once to his master, who proved to be a Mr. Walldorf, +a German. But the little girls refused the offered reward; for they said +they did not deserve it, and Spot had been no trouble to them. + +Three weeks passed by, and then there came a box from New York, directed +to Nelly and Julia. They opened it: and there were two beautiful French +dolls, and two nice large dolls' trunks filled with dolls' dresses and +bonnets,--dresses for morning and evening, for opera and ball-room, for +the street and the parlor, for riding and walking. + +The present was from Mr. Walldorf; and with it came a letter from him +thanking the little girls for their kindness to his good dog, Spot, and +promising to bring Spot to see them the next time he visited Boston. + +UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +[Illustration: On A High Horse] + +ON A HIGH HORSE. + + + On a velocipede + Harry would ride: + Quickly the splendid steed + Set him astride. + + Now for a jolly time! + Now for some sport! + Hold on!--the little chap's + Legs are too short. + + Harry can't touch the peg, + All he can do; + Though he may stretch his leg + Out of his shoe! + + What can we do for him? + This much, of course: + Let down the rider--or + Let down the horse. + + Many a hobby-horse + Small boys must ride, + Ere such a steed as this + They can bestride + + So, little Harry dear, + Don't look so cross + When you are taken down + From a high horse. + +JOSEPHINE POLLARD. + + + + +CELEBRATING GRANDMOTHER'S BIRTHDAY. + + +There were three little sisters and one little brother; and their names +were Emma, Ruth, Linda, and John. And these children had a grandmother, +whose seventieth birthday was near at hand. + +"What shall we do to celebrate our dear grandmother's birthday?" asked +Emma, the eldest. + +"Get some crackers and torpedoes, and fire them off," said Johnny. + +"Oh, that will never do!" cried Linda. "Let us give her a serenade." + +"But we none of us sing well enough," said Ruth; "and grandmother, you +know, is a very good musician. Let us do this: Let us come to her as the +'Four Seasons,' and each one salute her with a verse." + +"Yes: that's a very pretty idea," cried Linda. "And I'll be Spring; for +they say my eyes are blue as violets." + +"Then I'll be Summer," cried Emma. "I like summer best." + +"I'll be Autumn," said Johnny; "for, if there's any thing I like, it is +grapes. Peaches, too, are not bad; and what fun it is to go a-nutting!" + +"There's but one season left for me," said Ruth. "I must be Winter. No +matter! Winter has its joys as well as the rest." + +"But who'll write the verses for us?" asked Emma. "There must be a verse +for every season." + +"Oh, the teacher will write them for us!" cried Ruth. "No one could do +it better." + +And so, on the morning of grandmother's birthday, as she sat in her +large armchair, with her own pussy on a stool at her side, the "Four +Seasons" entered the room, one after another, and formed a semicircle +in front of her. Grandmother was not a bit frightened. She smiled +kindly; and then the "Seasons" spoke as follows:-- + +[Illustration: Celebrating Grandmother's Birthday] + + +SPRING. + + I am the Spring: with sunshine see me coming; + Birds begin to twitter; hark! the bees are humming: + Green to field and hillside, blossoms to the tree, + Joy to every human heart are what I bring with me. + + +SUMMER. + + See my wealth of flowers! I'm the golden Summer: + Is there for the young or old a more welcome comer? + Come and scent the new-mown grass; by the hillside stray; + And confess that only June brings the perfect day. + + +AUTUMN. + + Mark the wreath about my head,--wreath of richest flowers; + I am Autumn, and I bring mildest, happiest hours; + In my hand a goblet see, which the grape-juice holds; + Corn and grain and precious fruits, Autumn's arm enfolds. + + +WINTER. + + Round my head the holly-leaf; in my hand the pine: + I am Winter cold and stern; these last flowers are mine. + But while I am left to rule, all's not dark or sad; + Christmas comes with winter-time to make the children glad. + + +ALL THE SEASONS. + + Here our offerings glad we bring, + And long life to Grandma sing. + +EMILY CARTER. + +[Illustration: Hummingbirds and Fruit] + + + + +THE LITTLE CULPRIT. + + +School had begun. The boys and girls were in their places, and the +master was hearing them spell; when all at once there was a soft, low +knock at the door. + +"Come in!" said the master; and a little cleanly-dressed girl, about six +years old, stood upon the threshold, with downcast eyes. + +She held out before her, as if trying to hide behind it, a satchel, so +large that it seemed hard to decide whether the child had brought it, or +it had brought the child; and the drops on her cheeks showed how she had +been running. + +"Why, Katie!" cried the schoolmaster, "why do you come so late? Come +here to me, little culprit. It is the first time you have been late. +What does it mean?" + +Little Katie slowly approached him, while her chubby face grew scarlet. +"I--I had to pick berries," she faltered, biting her berry-stained lips. + +"O Katie!" said the master, raising his forefinger, "that is very +strange. You _had_ to? Who, then, told you to?" + +Katie still looked down; and her face grew redder still. + +"Look me in the face, my child," said the master gravely. "Are you +telling the truth?" + +Katie tried to raise her brown roguish eyes to his face: but, ah! the +consciousness of guilt weighed down her eyelids like lead. She could not +look at her teacher: she only shook her curly head. + +"Katie," said the master kindly, "you were not sent to pick berries: you +ran into the woods to pick them for yourself. Perhaps this is your first +falsehood, as it is the first time you have been late at school. Pray +God that it may be your last." + +"Oh, oh!" broke forth the little culprit, "the neighbor's boy, Fritz, +took me with him; and the berries tasted so good that I staid too long." + +[Illustration: At Teacher's Desk] + +The other children laughed; but a motion of the master's hand restored +silence, and, turning to Katie, he said, "Now, my child, for your +tardiness you will have a black mark, and go down one in your class; +but, Katie, for the falsehood you will lose your place in my heart, and +I cannot love you so much. But I will forgive you, if you will go stand +in the corner of your own accord. Which will you do,--lose your place in +my heart, or go stand in the corner for a quarter of an hour?" + +The child burst into a flood of tears, and sobbing out, "I'd rather go +stand in the corner," went there instantly, and turned her dear little +face to the wall. + +In a few minutes the master called her, and, as she came running to him, +he said: "Will you promise me, Katie, never again to say what is not +true?" + +"Oh, yes, I will try--I will try never, never to do it again," was the +contrite answer. + +Then the master took up the rosy little thing, and set her on his knee, +and said: "Now, my dear child, I will love you dearly. And, if you are +ever tempted to say what is not true, think how it would grieve your old +teacher if he knew it, and speak the truth for his sake." + +"Yes, yes!" cried the child, her little heart overflowing with +repentance; and, throwing her arms around the master's neck, she hugged +him, and said again, "Yes, yes!" + +FROM THE GERMAN. + + + + +THE DOLL-BABY SHOW. + + + Our doll-baby show, it was something quite grand; + You saw there the loveliest dolls in the land. + Each girl brought her own, in its prettiest dress: + Three pins bought a ticket, and not a pin less. + + For the doll that was choicest we offered a prize: + There were wee mites of dollies, and some of great size. + Some came in rich purple, some lilac, some white, + With ribbons and laces,--a wonderful sight! + + Now, there was one dolly, so tall and so proud, + She put all the others quite under a cloud; + But one of us hinted, in so many words, + That sometimes fine feathers do not make fine birds. + +[Illustration: The Doll-Baby Show] + + We sat in a row, with our dolls in our laps: + The dolls behaved sweetly, and met no mishaps. + No boys were admitted; for boys will make fun: + Now which do you think was the dolly that won? + + Soon all was commotion to hear who would get + The prize; for the dollies' committee had met: + We were the committee; and which do you think + Was the doll we decided on, all in a wink? + + Why, each of us said that our own was the best, + The finest, the sweetest, the prettiest drest: + So we _all_ got the prize--we'll invite you to go + The next time we girls have our doll-baby show. + +GEORGE COOPER. + + + + +THE CHICKENS THAT WERE WISER THAN LOTTIE. + + +Lottie is always asking, "Why?" + +When mamma calls from the window, "Lottie, Lottie!" she answers, very +pleasantly, "What, ma'am?" for she hopes mamma will say, "Here's a nice +turnover for you;" or, "Cousin Alice has come to see you." But when the +answer is "It is time to come in," the wrinkles appear on Lottie's +forehead, and her voice is a very different one, as she says, "Oh, dear, +I don't want to! _Why_ need I come in now?" + +When papa says, "Little daughter, I want you to do an errand for me," +Lottie whines, and asks, "_Why_ can't Benny do it?" + +Out in the field Old Biddy Brown has four wee chickens, little soft +downy balls, scarcely bigger than the eggs they came from just one week +ago. + +They are very spry, and run all about. When the mother Biddy finds any +nice bit, she clucks; and every little chick comes running to see what +is wanting. + +When it grows chilly, and she fears they will take cold, she says, +"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" and they all run under her warm feathers as fast +as they can. + +Just now Mother Biddy gave a very loud call, and every chicken was under +her wings in a minute; and up in the sky I saw a hawk, who had been +planning to make a good dinner of these same chickens. I could not help +thinking, how well for them, that they did not stop, like Lottie, to +ask, "Why?" + +Down came the hawk with a fierce swoop, as if he meant to take the old +hen and the chickens too; but Mother Biddy sprang up and faced him so +boldly, that he did not know what to make of it. + +[Illustration: The Chickens That Were Wiser Than Lottie] + +She seemed to say, "Come on my fine fellow, if you dare. You have got to +eat me before you eat my chicks; and you'll find me rather tough." + +So the hawk changed his mind at the last moment. He thought he would +wait till he could catch the chickens alone. The chickens were saved, +though one of them was nearly dead with fright. + +RUTH KENYON. + + + + +A HUNT FOR BOY BLUE. + + +We have a little three-year-old boy at our house, who likes to hear +stories, and his mother tells him a great many. But there is one which +pleases him more than all the rest, and perhaps the little readers of +"The Nursery" will like it too. + +You have all heard of little Boy Blue, and how he was called upon to +blow his horn; but I don't think any of you know what a search his +father had to find him. This is the story. + +Boy Blue lived on a large farm, and took care of the sheep and cows. One +day the cows got into the corn, and the sheep into the meadow; and Boy +Blue was nowhere to be seen. His father called and called, "Boy Blue, +Boy Blue, where are you? Why do you not look after the sheep and cows? +Where are you?" But no one answered. + +[Illustration: Father & Horse] + +Then Boy Blue's father went to the pasture, and said, "Horse, horse, +have you seen Boy Blue?" The old horse pricked up his cars, and looked +very thoughtful, but neighed, and said, "No, no: I have not seen Boy +Blue." + +[Illustration: Father & Oxen] + +Next he went to the field where the oxen were ploughing, and said, +"Oxen, oxen, have you seen Boy Blue?" They rolled their great eyes, and +looked at him; but shook their heads, and said, "No, no: we have not +seen Boy Blue." + +[Illustration: Father & Duck] + +Next, he went to the pond; and a great fat duck came out to meet him; +and he said, "Duck, duck, have you seen Boy Blue?" And she said, "Quack, +quack, quack! I have not seen Boy Blue." And all the other ducks said, +"Quack, quack!" + +[Illustration: Father & Turkey] + +Then Boy Blue's father visited the turkeys, and asked the old gobbler if +he had seen Boy Blue. The old gobbler strutted up and down, saying, +"Gobble, gobble, gobble! I have not seen Boy Blue." + +[Illustration: Cockerel] + +He then asked the cockerel if he had seen Boy Blue. And the cockerel +answered, "Cock-coo-doodle-doo! I haven't seen Boy Blue: +cock-coo-doodle-doo!" + +[Illustration: Hen] + +Then an old hen was asked if she had seen Boy Blue. She said, "Cluck, +cluck, cluck! I haven't seen Boy Blue; but I will call my chicks, and +you can ask them. Cluck, cluck, cluck!" And all the chicks came running, +but only said, "Peep, peep, peep! We haven't seen Boy Blue. Peep, peep, +peep!" + +[Illustration: Hen & Chicks] + +Boy Blue's father then went to the men who were making hay, and said, +"Men, men, have you seen my Boy Blue?" But the men answered, "No, no: we +have not seen Boy Blue." But just then they happened to look under a +haycock; and there, all curled up, lay Boy Blue, and his dog Tray, fast +asleep. + +[Illustration: Father & Boy Blue] + +His father shook him by the arm, saying, "Boy Blue, wake up, wake up! +The sheep are in the meadow, and the cows are in the corn." Boy Blue +sprang to his feet, seized his tin horn, and ran as fast as he could to +the cornfield, with his little dog running by his side. + +[Illustration: Boy Blue & Horn] + +He blew on his horn, "_Toot, toot, toot_!" and all the cows came running +up, saying, "Moo, moo!" He drove them to the barn to be milked. Then he +ran to the meadows, and blew once more, "_Toot, toot, toot_!" and all +the sheep came running up, saying, "Baa, baa!" and he drove them to +their pasture. + +Then Boy Blue said to his dog, "Little dog, little dog, it's time for +supper," and his little dog said "Bow, wow! Bow, wow!" So they went home +to supper. + +After Boy Blue had eaten a nice bowl of bread and milk, his father said: +"Now Boy Blue, you had better go to bed, and have a good night's rest, +so that you may be able to keep awake all day to-morrow; for I don't +want to have such a hunt for you again." Then Boy Blue said, "Good +night," and went to bed, and slept sweetly all night long. + +A.L.T. + +[Illustration: From SIR EDWIN LANDSEER'S painting. In outline by MR. +HARRISON WEIR, as a drawing lesson.] + + + + +DAY AND NIGHT. + + +Blue-eyed Charley Day had a cousin near his own age, whose name was +Harry Knight. When they were about eight years old, and began to go to +the public school, the boys called them, "Day and Night." + +Charley did not object to the puns the schoolboys made; but Harry was +quite vexed by them. Having quite a dark skin, and very dark eyes and +hair, he thought the boys meant to insult him by calling him, "Night." + +One large boy, about twelve years old, seemed to delight in teasing +Harry. He would say to him, "Come here, 'Night,' and shade my eyes, the +day is so bright." Then, seeing that Harry was annoyed, he would say, +"Oh, what a dark night!" + +Poor Harry would get angry, and that made matters worse; for then Tom +Smith would call him a "stormy night," or a "cloudy night," or the +"blackest night" he ever saw. + +Harry talked with his mother about it; and she told him the best way +would be to join with the boys in their jokes, or else not notice them +at all. She said if he never got out of temper, the boys would not call +him any thing worse than a "bright starry night." And if he went through +the world with as good a name as that she should be perfectly satisfied. + +"Don't take offence at trifles, Harry," said Mrs. Knight. "Don't be +teased by a little nonsense. All the fun that the boys can make out of +your name will not hurt you a bit." + +Harry was wise enough to do as his mother advised, and he found that she +was right. The boys soon became tired of their jokes, when they found +that no one was disturbed by them. But the little cousins were alway +good-naturedly called "Day and Night." + +AUNT WINNIE. + + + + +[Illustration: View from Cooper's Hill] + +VIEW FROM COOPER'S HILL. + + +When grandma was a little girl, she lived in England, where she was +born. She lived in the town of Windsor, twenty-three miles south-west of +London, the greatest city in the world. + +Grandma showed us, the other day, this picture of a view from Cooper's +Hill, near Windsor, and said, "Many a time and oft, dear children, have +I stood there by the old fence, and looked down on the beautiful +prospect,--the winding Thames, the gardens, the fields, and Windsor +Castle in the distance. + +"This noble structure was originally built by William the Conqueror, as +far back as the eleventh century. It has been embellished by most of the +succeeding kings and queens. It is the principal residence of Queen +Victoria in our day. The great park, not far distant, has a circuit of +eighteen miles; and west from the park is Windsor Forest, having a +circuit of fifty-six miles. + +"It is many a year since I saw these places. I cannot expect to visit +them again; but this picture brings them vividly before me. + +"And so, dear children, should you ever go to England, don't forget to +go to Cooper's Hill, and, for grandma's sake, to look round upon the +charming prospect which she loved so much when a child." + +E.W. + + + + +SATURDAY NIGHT. + + +Bring on the boots and shoes, Tommy; for this is Saturday night, and I +must make things clean for Sunday. + +Here is my old jacket, to begin with. Whack, whack, whack! As I beat it +with my stick, how the dust flies! + +The jacket looks a little the worse for wear; and that patch in the +elbow is more for show than use. But it is a good warm jacket still, and +mother says that next Christmas I shall have a new one. + +Whack, whack, whack! I wish Christmas was not so far off. If somebody +would make me a present now of a handsome new jacket, without a patch in +it, I should take it as an especial kindness. I do hate to wear patched +clothes. + +Stop there, Master Frank! You deserve to be beaten, instead of your +jacket. Look in the glass at your fat figure and rosy checks. Are you +not well fed and well taken care of? Is not good health better than fine +clothes? Are you the one to complain? + +Ah, Frank! Just look at poor Tim Morris, as he goes by in his carriage. +See his fine rich clothes, and his new glossy hat. But see, too, how +pale and thin he looks. How gladly would he put on your patched jacket, +and give you his new one, if he could have your health! + +[Illustration: Saturday Night] + +Whack, whack, whack! I'm an ungrateful boy. I'll not complain again. +Christmas may be as long as it pleases in coming. I'll tell mother she +mustn't pinch herself to buy me a new jacket. I'll tell her this one +will serve me a long time yet; that I have got used to it, and like it. +It will look almost as good as new when I get the dust out of it. Whack, +whack, whack! + +UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +THE CUCKOO. + + +"Tell me what bird this is a picture of," said Arthur. + +"That," said Uncle Oscar, "is the cuckoo, a bird which arrives in +England, generally, about the middle of April, and departs late in June, +or early in July." + +"Why does it go so early?" asked Arthur. + +"Well, I think it is because it likes a warm climate; and, as soon as +autumn draws near, it wants to go back to the woods of Northern Africa." + +"Why is it called the cuckoo?" + +"Because the male bird utters a call-note which sounds just like the +word _kuk-oo_. In almost every language, this sound has suggested the +name of the bird. In Greek, it is _kokkux_; in Latin, _coccyx_; in +French, _coucou_; in German, _kukuk_." + +"What does the bird feed on?" asked Arthur. + +"It feeds on soft insects, hairy caterpillars, and tender fruits." + +"Where does it build its nest?" + +"The cuckoo, I am sorry to say, is not a very honest bird. Instead of +taking the trouble to build a nest for herself, the female bird lays her +eggs in the nest of other birds, and to them commits the care of +hatching and rearing her offspring." + +"I should not call that acting like a good parent," said Arthur. "Do the +other birds take care of these young ones that are not their own?" + +"Oh, yes! they not only take care of them and feed them for weeks, but +sometimes they even let the greedy young cuckoos push their own children +out of the nest." + +"That's a hard case," said Arthur. "Is there any American bird that acts +like the cuckoo?" + +[Illustration: The Cuckoo] + +"Oh, yes!" said Uncle Oscar. "There is a little bird called the +'cow-bunting,' about as large as a canary-bird: she, too, makes other +birds hatch her young and take care of them." + +"I don't like such lazy behavior. Did you ever hear the note of the +cuckoo?" said Arthur. + +"Oh, yes!" replied Uncle Oscar. "I have heard it in England; and there, +too, I have heard the skylark and the nightingale, neither of which +birds we have in America. But we have the mocking-bird, one of the most +wonderful of song-birds." + +"I wonder if the cuckoo would not live in America," said Arthur. "I +should like to get one and try it.

One night, he brought home some lemons for +mamma,--twelve long, fat, yellow lemons, in a bag. Dot was sitting at +the piano with mamma when his father came in, and did not run, as usual, +to greet him with a kiss. So Dot's father opened the bag, and let the +lemons drop one by one, and roll all over the floor. + +Then Dot looked around, and cried, "Lemons, lemons! Get down; Dot get +down!" And he ran and picked up the lemons one by one, and put them all +together in the great black arm-chair. As he picked them up, he counted +them: "One, two, three, five, six, seven, nine, ten!" + +When Dot got tired of seeing them on the chair, he began to put them on +the floor again, one at a time, and all in one spot. While he was doing +this, his father stooped down, and when the little boy's back was +turned, took the lemons, slily from the spot where Dot was placing +them, and put them behind his own back,--some behind his right foot, and +some behind his left. + +He took only a few of them at first, so that Dot should not miss them. +But, when Dot came to put the last lemon on the floor, he could not see +any thing of the others, and was very much surprised. Then mamma, +grandmamma, and grandpapa all burst out laughing. His father stepped +aside, and there Dot saw the lemons in two rows. + +Then father said, "That was only a joke. Now, Dot, put them back again +on the chair--quick!" And Dot ran and began to take away the lemons from +the first row, and lay them on the black cushion of grandpapa's great +arm-chair, one by one. One--two--three--four--five: he had only one more +lemon to pick up from the first row; but when he came for it--my! there +were two. + +Well, to tell the truth, Dot didn't notice this at first. He picked up +one of the two, and thought to himself, "Only one left, Dot." But, I +declare! there were _two_ left when he came back. "This is a long row," +thought Dot. And every time he left _one_, he found _two_, till papa had +quite used up the second row, from which he had been filling up the +first. + +At last Dot _did_ see the last lemon, and then again he didn't see it, +for when he looked for it, it wasn't _two_, as before, it wasn't there +at all! + +"O papa! you have it behind you; and Dot will pull at your hand till you +give up the lemon; and then you can't play any more tricks with your +bright little boy." + +But Dot will go up to bed with Alice, and in the middle of the night +mamma will hear him saying in his sleep, "Five, six, nine, 'lemon!" For +Dot always says '_lemon,_ when he means _eleven_. + +G. + + + + +DADDY DANDELION. + + +Words by T. Hood. Music by T.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
