A false +note in music seemed to inflict pain, while she would show +great pleasure when the harmony was perfect.</p> + +<p>This little girl, whose name is Laura, has been so faithful +in studying the rules of music, that, young as she is, she is +employed to teach it to children still younger than herself. +As her parents are poor, she is paid well for this service. +In the picture you may see her standing, while Emma Dean, +one of her little pupils, occupies the music-stool.</p> + +<p>"Oh, I shall never learn to play like you, Miss Laura," +says Emma.</p> + +<p>"Pray don't call me <i>Miss</i>," says Laura; "for I am but a +little girl like yourself."</p> + +<p>"But then you know so much more than I do, that I +like to call you <i>Miss</i>," says Emma. "Are you not my +teacher?"</p> + +<p>"I try to be," says Laura; "but, if we talk instead of +work, we shall not make much improvement. Now let +me hear you play over this exercise once more."</p> + +<p>"But I have played it a dozen times," says Emma. "Let +us try something new."</p> + +<p>"You have played it a dozen times; but you must play it +two hundred times more, if you expect to be perfect in it," +says Laura.</p> + +<p>"Two hundred times! Oh, I can't think of it," exclaims +Emma. "Let us try something new."</p> + +<p>Here Mrs. Dean, who from a room near by had overheard +the conversation, came in, and said, "If you cannot obey +your teacher, Emma, you must stop taking music-lessons. +Miss Laura is quite right; and I am glad to see that she +does not yield to your whims. The best way in learning is +always to learn one thing thoroughly before passing to +another."</p> + +<p>Emma gave up the point, and began to play the exercise +with a good grace. She did so well, that, when she had +played it over thirty times, Miss Laura said to her, "That +will do for to-day. We will take it up again in our next +lesson. Now we will pass to a new piece."</p> + +<p>But Mrs. Dean said, "You have done enough to-day, my +children. Now go and pick some strawberries for yourselves +in the garden, and then we will take a walk in the +grove."</p> + +<p>And this is what they did.</p> + +</td></tr></table> + +<div class="author"> +DORA BURNSIDE. </div> + +<div class="center"><table summary="Centered Thought Break"><tr><td><img src="images/illus-05b.png" width="261" height="268" alt="thought" /></td></tr></table></div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_ANTS_DAIRY" id="THE_ANTS_DAIRY" />THE ANT'S DAIRY.</h2> + +<div class="center"> +<table summary="Ant's Diary layout" class="center" width="599"><tr><td> +<div id="diary_bg"> + + <div class="flowing_lt" style="width:590px; height:395px;"> </div> + <div class="flowing_lt" style="width:270px; height:35px;"> </div> + <div class="flowing_lt" style="width:200px; height:80px;"> </div> + <div class="flowing_lt" style="width:120px; height:378px;"> </div> + + +<p>o ants keep cows? Let us see. +A little insect named an aphis +is found on the leaf of most +every plant. This little parasite lives +on the sweet juice called honey-dew. +Now the ants are very fond of this +honey-dew, and know that they can obtain a +supply from the body of the <i>aphis</i>.</p> + +<p>The ants, therefore, climb up trees on whose +leaves the <i>aphides</i> have collected. Then an ant +goes close to one of these insects for a drop +of the sweet juice. If this be not soon given +out, the ant will gently tap the body of the +aphis, and thus obtain a supply of the sweet +fluid. After feasting on this, the ant will pass to +another little aphis and treat it in the same +manner for another drop.</p> + +<p>But the ant has sense enough to treat the +aphis as we treat our cows. Our farmers, you +know, keep the cows in enclosed meadows, and supply them +with hay and turnips when the grass fails. The ants also +take a number of aphides close to their nests, and there +keep them secure and supply them with suitable food.</p> + +<p>Now the lady-birds are also fond of the aphides, and eat +them up by hundreds. But the ant has sense enough to +keep the aphis for a supply of honey-dew instead of killing +it as the lady-bird does. Is not the ant, therefore, entitled +to be regarded as a cow-keeper, and are not the tiny little +aphides his milch-cows?</p> + +</div></td></tr> +<tr><td><div class="author"><br />T.C. </div></td></tr> +</table></div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="BABY_JEAN" id="BABY_JEAN" />BABY JEAN.</h2> + + +<div class="center"><table summary="Baby Jean Layout"><tr><td align="left"> +Eyes as bright as diamonds,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Mouth all sweet and clean,</span><br /> +Cheeks with tempting dimples;<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">That's my baby Jean!</span><br /> +<br /> +Hands as soft as rose-leaves,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Teeth like glistening pearls,</span><br /> +Little sunbeams woven<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">On her heads for curls.</span><br /> +<br /> +Little feet that patter<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Here and everywhere,</span><br /> +Little mind that's busy,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Filled with childish care.</span><br /> +</td> +<td style="border-right: thin solid black;"> </td> +<td> +Lips from which the kisses<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Bubble all day long,</span><br /> +Tongue that's ever singing<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Some sweet cradle-song.</span><br /> +<br /> +How I love my baby<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Words can never tell;</span><br /> +And she—she loves papa<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Just as much and well.</span><br /> +<br /> +She's the dearest fairy<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">That was ever seen;</span><br /> +And from Heaven I'm certain<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Came my baby Jean!</span><br /> +</td></tr> +<tr><td></td><td></td><td><div class="author"><br />F.E.

He fell lame, and was turned out in +a little field to starve. And he would have starved, if it +hadn't been for Milo.</p> + +<p>And who was Milo? He was a dog who had lived in the +stable with Old Whitey. They had become great friends. +Each had found the other trusty and kind.</p> + +<p>And I think Milo must have reasoned in this way: "Is it +not sad to see my old friend shut up in that barren little +field with nothing to eat? He has nibbled all the grass, +and there is nothing left for him. It is too bad; and I +can't stand it."</p> + +<p>In the cellar of the stable were some turnips and beets. +What does Milo do but take a long beet in his mouth, and +carry it to Old Whitey, who neighs, as if to say, "Thank +you, old friend."</p> + +<p>Then he gobbles it up, and looks at Milo, as if to say, +"Another, if you please." Milo trots off, and brings him a +turnip. Oh, how it does relish! Old Whitey begins to +caper, in spite of his lame legs.</p> + +<p>Milo kept running to and fro for half an hour, till Old +Whitey had made a good dinner. Then the man who had +shut up the old horse found out what was going on.</p> + +<p>He seized a whip, and ran at Milo to punish him. But +it happened that the lady who owned the farm, and who +did not know how Old Whitey had been treated, came back +from the city just at that time to pass a month in the +country.</p> + +<p>She saw what was going on, asked what was the matter, +and, when she learned it, said to the man, "The dog is a +better Christian than you are.

As my father was walking up Arch Street, Philadelphia, +one day, with his hands clasped behind him, something +cold and damp was pushed against his fingers. He +turned round quickly, and a beautiful brown-and-white +pointer came to his side, and looked up at him with such +a pleading look in his soft brown eyes, that my father +said, as he patted him on the head, "Poor fellow, are you +lost?"</p> + +<p>That was enough for Carlo, as we named him. He had +found a kind master, and my father a faithful friend. Of +course it wouldn't do to keep the dog without trying to +find his owner: so the next day he was advertised; and, +for several days after, every ring at the bell would make +us children start, and feel afraid that somebody had come to +take him away. But nobody came for him; and we loved +and petted our new-found treasure to the neglect of wooden +horses and dolls, and all our other toys.</p> + +<p>Sometimes he would come to the parlor-door with his +feet very wet and muddy from running through the street-gutters. +Then we would say, "O Carlo! what dirty +boots!" He would hang down his head, and go off to the +back-yard, and lick his feet until they were clean, when, +with a bound, and a wag of the tail, he would rush back to +the parlor, quite sure that he would be let in.</p> + +<p>But the month of June was coming,—a sorrowful time +for dogs; for the city had ordered that all dogs found on +the streets without muzzles on must be destroyed. At five +o'clock every morning, the wagons used to go through the +streets, and take up all dogs that were not muzzled. So we +had to get a "bonnet," as we called it, for our pet.</p> + +<p>It was made of bright red leather, and really he looked +so handsome in it, that we thought he ought to like to wear +it when he went out for a walk; but he didn't one bit. He +used to rub his head on the sidewalk, and fuss and squirm, +and, when he didn't get rid of his bonnet in that way, the +cunning fellow used to hide it when he got home.</p> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-11b.png" style="height: 28em;" alt="CARLOS BONNET" /></div> + +<p>We kept it hung up on a high nail in the dining-room; +but one day, when we called Carlo to have his bonnet put +on before he went out, there was no bonnet to be found. +Who could have taken it? I must say Carlo acted very +much like the thief; for he hung his head, and looked +sheepish, when we asked him about it.</p> + +<p>We hunted under the chairs and the lounge, in the +closets, in parlor and dining-room, Carlo fussing round +with us, just as if he wanted dreadfully to find it; but +it couldn't be found. So we went out, and shut the street-door +after us, saying, "Well, Carlo, you can't go out to +walk, that's all."</p> + +<p>Those who hide know where to find. When Carlo saw, +that, without his bonnet, there was no walk for him, he +scampered into the basement-kitchen, got out the muzzle +from a pile of old papers in one of the closets, carried it up +stairs, and laid it down on the dining-room floor.</p> + +<p>But this was not the last time Carlo hid his red bonnet +and found it again. In all sorts of places he would stow it +away when he came in from his walks. And at last he got +so used to it that when we said, "Now, Carlo, go fetch your +bonnet," he would dash off and pull it from its hiding-place, +and quietly stand to have it buckled on.</p> + +<p>He behaved so well in the streets, that before the dog-season +was over, we used to take his bonnet off, and let him +carry it home in his mouth. One rainy day, when the +water was pouring down the open gutters, and I was hurrying +home, I happened to look round, and there was Carlo +coming along behind me; but his pretty red bonnet was +bobbing along in the gutter, where the sly rascal had +thrown it, hoping, I suppose, that it would be carried down +to the Delaware River.</p> + +<div class="author">B.P. </div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="CHARLEY_GOES_A_FISHING" id="CHARLEY_GOES_A_FISHING" />CHARLEY GOES A-FISHING.</h2> + + + +<div class="center"><table summary="Charley-Fishing Layout"><tr><td align="left"><h1 class="left">Will Charley go a-fishing?<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Yes, of course he will;</span><br /> +Fix him out with hook and line,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And let him try his skill.</span><br /></h1></td></tr></table></div> + +<div class="center"><br /><img src="images/illus-13b.png" style="height: 32em;" alt="CHARLEY GOES A-FISHING" /></div> + +<div class="center"><br /><table summary="Charley-Fishing Layout"><tr><td align="left"> +<h1 class="left">"Shall I fish for mackerel?<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Shall I fish for shad?"</span><br /> +"Pull up any fish that bites,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">That's a jolly lad!"</span><br /></h1> +<div class="author"><br />A.B.C. </div></td></tr></table></div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> + + +<h2><a name="WHAT_WE_SAW_IN_THE_WOODS" id="WHAT_WE_SAW_IN_THE_WOODS" />WHAT WE SAW IN THE WOODS.<br /></h2> + +<table summary="In The Woods Layout" class="center"><tr><td> + + +<p> +<img src="images/illus-14b.png" style="height:32em; float: left;" alt="" /> +We were camping out in +the woods, not far from the +Canada line.

She was the daughter of +a poor fisherman, who worked hard for his family. Mr. +Cooper was such a good, kind man, that no one could help +loving him. His children loved him dearly; and no one +loved him quite so dearly as his daughter Amy.</p> + +<p>She was a thoughtful little girl, and at the time of my +story was twelve years old. She saw that her father's +health was failing through hard work; and the one great +thought in her mind was, "How can I help my dear father +to earn money for us all?"</p> + +<p>This was a hard question, and it was long before Amy +could find an answer. But one day, with her aunt, she +took a long walk to Dover. Here she saw a large hotel, +and many well-clad persons in a pleasant park near by. It +was on this visit to Dover that Amy formed a plan about +which I am going to tell you.</p> + +<p>Now it had happened three years before, that a poor +young man of the name of Simpson had been saved from +drowning by Amy's father. I fear that the young man +had thrown himself into the water because he was sick +of life, but I dare say he was glad enough to be pulled out.</p> + +<p>Mr. Cooper took him home, gave him a room and a bed, +and there Mr. Simpson staid for some time. He was what +is called an artist. He had a great talent for drawing with +a pen and ink. He taught Amy to do this. She soon did +it so well, that he said to her, "Keep on trying, my dear, +and it may be a great help to you by and by."</p> + +<p>Sure enough she did keep on trying. Her one thought +was to do so well that she could make money by her art. +Poor Mr. Simpson died after he had staid with the honest +fisherman two years; and his last words to Amy were, +"Keep on practising, my dear: don't let a day pass without +it. I am sure you will make an artist."</p> + +<p>Amy had followed his advice; and now, when her father +was ill, she resolved to see if she could not turn her art to +account. She made twenty sketches with pen and ink. +They were sketches of fishermen—drawn from life; and +they were done with a spirit and skill that struck every one +with surprise.</p> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-21b.png" style="height: 20em;" alt="THE FISHERMANS DAUGHTER" /></div> + +<p>Taking the specimens with her, she went to Dover, and +showed them to the ladies and gentlemen. At last one +gentleman, a Mr. Ritson, who was rich, and fond of art, said +to her, "Don't try to humbug me, little girl. You never +did this work. Come in, and let me test you."</p> + +<p>"Do it," said Amy, bravely and confidently.</p> + +<p>He took her into the reading-room of the hotel, and in +a few minutes she produced a likeness of Mr. Ritson, which +made him cry out, "Bravo, bravo, little girl! You have +done it! Forgive my suspicions. Here is a guinea for +what you have done. Come here to-morrow at this time, +and I will see what I can do to help you."</p> + +<p>Amy, wild with joy, took the money home to her father. +The prosperity of the family was now assured. Mr. Ritson +proved to be a true friend. He showed Amy's sketches to +a great many persons, and praised them so highly, that she +soon began to have orders.</p> + +<p>She continued to improve, and in time became quite a +successful artist. She had as much work as she could do, +and earned more in a month than her father could earn in +a year. He soon got well, and lived to take great comfort +in the fame of his dear little girl.</p> + +<div class="author">ALFRED SELWYN. </div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="JOHNNY_AND_THE_TOAD" id="JOHNNY_AND_THE_TOAD" />JOHNNY AND THE TOAD.</h2> + +<div class="center"><br /><table summary="Johnny and the Toad Layout"><tr><td> +<p><span style="margin-left: 3em;">JOHNNY.</span></p> + +<p> +I want to go to school,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And he won't let me pass;</span><br /> +I think that a toad<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Ought to keep on the grass.</span><br /> +I don't want to cry;<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">But I'm afraid I'm going to:</span><br /> +Oh, dear me!<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">What am I to do?</span><br /> +</p> +</td></tr></table></div> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-23b.png" style="height:32em;" alt="JOHNNY AND THE TOAD." /><br /></div> + +<div class="center"><table summary="Johnny and the Toad Layout"><tr><td> +<p><span style="margin-left: 3em;">TOAD.</span></p> +<p> +Here's a dreadful thing!—<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">A boy in the way,</span><br /> +I don't know what to do:<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">I don't know what to say.</span><br /> +I can't see the reason<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Such monsters should be loose:</span><br /> +I'm trembling all over;<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">But that is of no use.</span><br /> +</p> +<br /> + +<p><span style="margin-left: 3em;">JOHNNY.</span></p> + +<p> +I must go to school,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">The bell is going to stop:</span><br /> +That terrible old toad,—<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">If he only would hop!</span><br /> +<br /></p> + + +<p><span style="margin-left: 3em;">TOAD.</span></p> + +<p> +I must cross the path,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">I can hear my children croak;</span><br /> +I hope that dreadful boy<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Will not give me a poke.</span></p> +</td></tr></table></div> + +<div class="center"><table summary="Johnny and the Toad Layout"><tr><td align="left"> + +A hop and a start, a flutter and a rush,<br /> +Johnny is at school, and the toad in his bush. +<div class="author"><br />H.A.F. </div> +</td></tr></table></div> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_HEN_WHO_HELPED_HERSELF" id="THE_HEN_WHO_HELPED_HERSELF" />THE HEN WHO HELPED HERSELF.</h2> + + +<p>In a city not far from Boston, there once lived a stout +little fellow named Willie Wilkins. He was six years old, +had red cheeks and blue eyes, and such curly hair that +it was always in a tumble, no matter how much it was +brushed.</p> + +<p>One summer his mamma took him into the country to +spend a few weeks at a farm-house. The farmer's wife, +Mrs. Hill, was very glad to have him come, for she had no +girls or boys of her own, to make the house pleasant. She +liked to see Willie running about, and hear his shrill voice +calling after the great house-dog Bruno.</p> + +<p>One morning Willie had been as busy as ever at his play: +he had been in the orchard, hunting for ripe apples; he had +been in the barn, looking for hen's eggs in the sweet hay; +he had been down to the brook, sailing his boat; and he +had played market-man, with Bruno harnessed for a horse.</p> + +<p>After all this, the little boy was both tired and hungry: +so he went back to the house, and sat down on the broad +stone steps outside the kitchen-door to rest. Mrs. Hill was +busy in the kitchen, frying doughnuts, and, when Willie saw +what she was doing, he was more hungry than ever. The +doughnuts looked very brown and nice; but Willie was too +bashful to ask for one.</p> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-25b.png" style="height:24em;;" alt="THE HEN WHO HELPED HERSELF." /></div> + +<p>At last Mrs. Hill looked up, and, seeing Willie's blue eyes +fixed upon her with such an eager gaze, she guessed at +once what he wanted. She gave him a doughnut and a +kiss, and he sat down on the doorstep with the doughnut in +his hand. But he had hardly taken two bites of it, when +a strange thing happened.</p> + +<p>Some hens were scratching around in the yard to find +food for themselves and their chickens. Now one old Biddy, +who had a large family to provide for, and who was almost +tired out with hunting for worms, looked at Willie's doughnut +with a longing eye. She walked close up to the doorstep, +arched her neck, and clucked, asking as plainly as she +knew how for a piece of doughnut. But Willie was too +busy even to look at her.</p> + +<p>At last Biddy became impatient. As no notice was taken +of her civil request, she made up her mind to take, without +further asking, what Willie did not seem inclined to give. +She was a little afraid to do it; but her chickens were +teasing for more food, and she was determined to get +enough for them.</p> + +<p>So she stepped up beside Willie, snatched the doughnut +out of his hand, and ran away with it as fast as she could. +Her chickens ran after her, screaming for the fine feast +which their mother had stolen for them.</p> + +<p>And there sat Willie on the doorstep, his eyes bigger +and bluer than ever, amazed to find himself robbed in this +way by a respectable looking old hen. He did not know +what to do, and was half inclined to cry.</p> + +<p>But, when little children are in trouble, there is always +one thing they can do: they can go to their mamma, and +ask her help. Willie thought of this, and trotted off with +a very sober face to tell his mamma this wonderful story of +the hen who helped herself.</p> + +<div class="author">L.R. </div> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-26b.png" width="378" height="89" alt="thought" /></div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<div><a name="Illustration2" id="Illustration2" /> + +<a name="THE_GREAT_JOURNEY" id="THE_GREAT_JOURNEY" /></div> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-27b.png" style="height:32em;" alt="THE GREAT JOURNEY." /></div> + +<h2>THE GREAT JOURNEY.</h2> + +<div class="center"><table summary="Great Journey Layout"><tr><td align="left"> + +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">"Come, my baby, all alone!"</span><br /> +Was so long a baby-journey ever known?<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">All the way, so wide and bare,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">From the table to the chair;</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">'Tis no wonder he should linger,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Holding on to papa's finger,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Though his mother beckons there</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 5em;">From her throne,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">With, "Come, baby, all alone!"</span><br /> +<br /> +"Come, my baby, all alone!"<br /> +Were such mingled doubt and daring ever shown?<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Now he drops his hold, and then</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Closer clings to it again;</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Now he steps out with a shiver,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">As one tries a rapid river,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">And shrinks back, and wonders when,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 5em;">Taller grown,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Baby shall go all alone.</span><br /> +<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">"Here comes baby, all alone!"</span><br /> +Was a more victorious bravery ever known?<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Right across the trackless space</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">The small feet have won their race;</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">And he tosses back thereafter</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Such a peal of ringing laughter!</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">It laughs out from every face,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 5em;">Proud to own</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">"Baby has gone all alone!'</span><br /> +<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Back goes baby all alone.</span><br /> +Oh what inches, all at once, has baby grown!<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Back and forth, with merry cries,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Like a little bird he flies;</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">First to father, then to mother,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Then to sister, then to brother,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Greeting each with laughing eyes.</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 5em;">Bravely done!</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Shout for baby, every one!</span><br /><br /></td></tr> +<tr><td align="right">GEORGE S.

It was a birthday-gift from his grandfather.</p> + +<p>George had never owned a kite before; and there never +was a happier boy than he when he went out to fly it for +the first time.</p> + +<p>But he came back looking quite sad.</p> + +<p>"Why, what is the matter my boy?" said his grandfather.</p> + +<p>George held up his kite. There was a large hole in it. +In trying to raise his kite, the little boy, being perhaps +rather clumsy, had got it entangled in a tree. Its beauty +was spoiled, and George had brought it home without +having had the pleasure of seeing it up in the sky.</p> + +<p>"Well, well," said his kind old grandfather, "we will +have it mended and try it again. Better luck next time!"</p> + +<p>Carlo, the dog, looked up, as much as to say, "If there +is anything I can do for you, George, call on me."</p> + +<p>But George's bright little sister Susan, without saying a +word, ran into the house and brought a pot of paste and +some paper. "I'll mend it for you, George," said she, "in +three minutes."</p> + +<p>And sure enough, she mended it so neatly that it was as +good as new the next morning, and George took it out +again with a face as merry as ever. He got it up in fine +style this time, and had a grand time flying it.</p> + +<p>It went up higher and pulled harder than any kite on +the play-ground. Susan, who often went out with George +to have a share of the fun, was hardly strong enough to +hold it.</p> + +<div class="center"><img src="images/illus-33b.png" style="height:36em;" alt="THE BROKEN KITE." /></div> + +<p>One day when Susan was trying to wind up the string, +the stick slipped out of her hands, and away went the kite. +George got it back after a hard chase, but it was torn to +shreds. Susan now looked sad in her turn.</p> + +<p>But George only laughed, and said, "Never mind, Susie. +Bring out the old paste-pot again."</p> + +<div class="author">IDA FAY. </div> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="SUMMER_GAMES" id="SUMMER_GAMES" />SUMMER GAMES.</h2> + +<div class="center"><table summary="Summer Games Layout" width="100%"><tr> +<td align="left">Words by GEORGE COOPER.</td><td align="right">Music by T.

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://pglaf.org + +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://pglaf.org/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

Address + +THE NURSERY PUBLISHING CO., + +36 _Bromfield Street, Boston, Mass._ + + + + +[Illustration: THE LITTLE TEACHER.] + + + + +THE LITTLE TEACHER. + + +I know of a little girl, who, like Mozart, shows a great talent for +music, though she is not yet ten years old. Before she could walk, it +seemed to be her delight to creep along the floor to the piano, draw +herself up so as to touch the key-board, and then strike the different +keys. + +Some of the sounds were pleasing to her, and from some she would start +and draw back, as if she were hurt. A false note in music seemed to +inflict pain, while she would show great pleasure when the harmony was +perfect. + +This little girl, whose name is Laura, has been so faithful in studying +the rules of music, that, young as she is, she is employed to teach it +to children still younger than herself. As her parents are poor, she is +paid well for this service. In the picture you may see her standing, +while Emma Dean, one of her little pupils, occupies the music-stool. + +"Oh, I shall never learn to play like you, Miss Laura," says Emma. + +"Pray don't call me _Miss_," says Laura; "for I am but a little girl +like yourself." + +"But then you know so much more than I do, that I like to call you +_Miss_," says Emma. "Are you not my teacher?" + +"I try to be," says Laura; "but, if we talk instead of work, we shall +not make much improvement. Now let me hear you play over this exercise +once more." + +"But I have played it a dozen times," says Emma. "Let us try something +new." + +"You have played it a dozen times; but you must play it two hundred +times more, if you expect to be perfect in it," says Laura. + +"Two hundred times! Oh, I can't think of it," exclaims Emma. "Let us +try something new." + +Here Mrs. Dean, who from a room near by had overheard the conversation, +came in, and said, "If you cannot obey your teacher, Emma, you must stop +taking music-lessons. Miss Laura is quite right; and I am glad to see +that she does not yield to your whims. The best way in learning is +always to learn one thing thoroughly before passing to another." + +Emma gave up the point, and began to play the exercise with a good +grace. She did so well, that, when she had played it over thirty times, +Miss Laura said to her, "That will do for to-day. We will take it up +again in our next lesson. Now we will pass to a new piece." + +But Mrs. Dean said, "You have done enough to-day, my children. Now go +and pick some strawberries for yourselves in the garden, and then we +will take a walk in the grove." + +And this is what they did. Dora Burnside. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +THE ANT'S DAIRY. + + +Do ants keep cows? Let us see. A little insect named an aphis is found +on the leaf of most every plant. This little parasite lives on the sweet +juice called honey-dew. Now the ants are very fond of this honey-dew, +and know that they can obtain a supply from the body of the _aphis_. + +The ants, therefore, climb up trees on whose leaves the _aphides_ have +collected. Then an ant goes close to one of these insects for a drop of +the sweet juice. If this be not soon given out, the ant will gently tap +the body of the aphis, and thus obtain a supply of the sweet fluid. +After feasting on this, the ant will pass to another little aphis and +treat it in the same manner for another drop. + +But the ant has sense enough to treat the aphis as we treat our cows. +Our farmers, you know, keep the cows in enclosed meadows, and supply +them with hay and turnips when the grass fails. The ants also take a +number of aphides close to their nests, and there keep them secure and +supply them with suitable food. + +Now the lady-birds are also fond of the aphides, and eat them up by +hundreds. But the ant has sense enough to keep the aphis for a supply of +honey-dew instead of killing it as the lady-bird does. Is not the ant, +therefore, entitled to be regarded as a cow-keeper, and are not the tiny +little aphides his milch-cows? + +T.C. + + * * * * * + + + + +BABY JEAN. + + + Eyes as bright as diamonds, + Mouth all sweet and clean, + Cheeks with tempting dimples + That's my baby Jean!" + + Hands as soft as rose-leaves, + Teeth like glistening pearls, + Little sunbeams woven + On her heads for curls. + + Little feet that patter + Here and everywhere, + Little mind that's busy, + Filled with childish care. + + Lips from which the kisses + Bubble all day long, + Tongue that's ever singing + Some sweet cradle-song. + + How I love my baby + Words can never tell; + And she--she loves papa + Just as much and well. + + She's the dearest fairy + That was ever seen; + And from Heaven I'm certain + Came my baby Jean! + +F.E. HAMILTON. + +[Illustration: ] + + + + +THE FRIENDLY DOG. + + +Poor Old Whitey! He fell lame, and was turned out in a little field to +starve. And he would have starved, if it hadn't been for Milo. + +And who was Milo? He was a dog who had lived in the stable with Old +Whitey. They had become great friends. Each had found the other trusty +and kind. + +And I think Milo must have reasoned in this way: "Is it not sad to see +my old friend shut up in that barren little field with nothing to eat? +He has nibbled all the grass, and there is nothing left for him. It is +too bad; and I can't stand it." + +In the cellar of the stable were some turnips and beets. What does Milo +do but take a long beet in his mouth, and carry it to Old Whitey, who +neighs, as if to say, "Thank you, old friend." + +Then he gobbles it up, and looks at Milo, as if to say, "Another, if you +please." Milo trots off, and brings him a turnip. Oh, how it does +relish! Old Whitey begins to caper, in spite of his lame legs. + +Milo kept running to and fro for half an hour, till Old Whitey had made +a good dinner. Then the man who had shut up the old horse found out what +was going on. + +He seized a whip, and ran at Milo to punish him. But it happened that +the lady who owned the farm, and who did not know how Old Whitey had +been treated, came back from the city just at that time to pass a month +in the country. + +She saw what was going on, asked what was the matter, and, when she +learned it, said to the man, "The dog is a better Christian than you +are. He shall stay, and you shall go. Come into the house, and let me +pay you your wages." + +[Illustration] + +Thenceforth Old Whitey was well taken care of; and, as for Milo, he was +petted and praised to his heart's content. Cruelty to animals is an act +which no good man or child can he guilty of. I was not sorry to learn +that the man who had tried to starve Old Whitey was dismissed from his +place. + +Uncle Charles. + + + + +CARLO'S BONNET. + + +Of course Carlo was a dog, and I'll tell you how he came to us. As my +father was walking up Arch Street, Philadelphia, one day, with his hands +clasped behind him, something cold and damp was pushed against his +fingers. He turned round quickly, and a beautiful brown-and-white +pointer came to his side, and looked up at him with such a pleading look +in his soft brown eyes, that my father said, as he patted him on the +head, "Poor fellow, are you lost?" + +That was enough for Carlo, as we named him. He had found a kind master, +and my father a faithful friend. Of course it wouldn't do to keep the +dog without trying to find his owner: so the next day he was advertised; +and, for several days after, every ring at the bell would make us +children start, and feel afraid that somebody had come to take him away. +But nobody came for him; and we loved and petted our new-found treasure +to the neglect of wooden horses and dolls, and all our other toys. + +Sometimes he would come to the parlor-door with his feet very wet and +muddy from running through the street-gutters. Then we would say, "O +Carlo! what dirty boots!" He would hang down his head, and go off to the +back-yard, and lick his feet until they were clean, when, with a bound, +and a wag of the tail, he would rush back to the parlor, quite sure that +he would be let in. + +But the month of June was coming,--a sorrowful time for dogs; for the +city had ordered that all dogs found on the streets without muzzles on +must be destroyed. At five o'clock every morning, the wagons used to go +through the streets, and take up all dogs that were not muzzled. So we +had to get a "bonnet," as we called it, for our pet. + +It was made of bright red leather, and really he looked so handsome in +it, that we thought he ought to like to wear it when he went out for a +walk; but he didn't one bit. He used to rub his head on the sidewalk, +and fuss and squirm, and, when he didn't get rid of his bonnet in that +way, the cunning fellow used to hide it when he got home. + +[Illustration] + +We kept it hung up on a high nail in the dining-room; but one day, when +we called Carlo to have his bonnet put on before he went out, there was +no bonnet to be found. Who could have taken it? I must say Carlo acted +very much like the thief; for he hung his head, and looked sheepish, +when we asked him about it. + +We hunted under the chairs and the lounge, in the closets, in parlor and +dining-room, Carlo fussing round with us, just as if he wanted +dreadfully to find it; but it couldn't be found. So we went out, and +shut the street-door after us, saying, "Well, Carlo, you can't go out to +walk, that's all." + +Those who hide know where to find. When Carlo saw, that, without his +bonnet, there was no walk for him, he scampered into the +basement-kitchen, got out the muzzle from a pile of old papers in one of +the closets, carried it up stairs, and laid it down on the dining-room +floor. + +But this was not the last time Carlo hid his red bonnet and found it +again. In all sorts of places he would stow it away when he came in from +his walks. And at last he got so used to it that when we said, "Now, +Carlo, go fetch your bonnet," he would dash off and pull it from its +hiding-place, and quietly stand to have it buckled on. + +He behaved so well in the streets, that before the dog-season was over, +we used to take his bonnet off, and let him carry it home in his mouth. +One rainy day, when the water was pouring down the open gutters, and I +was hurrying home, I happened to look round, and there was Carlo coming +along behind me; but his pretty red bonnet was bobbing along in the +gutter, where the sly rascal had thrown it, hoping, I suppose, that it +would be carried down to the Delaware River. + +B.P. + + * * * * * + + + + +CHARLEY GOES A-FISHING. + + + Will Charley go a-fishing? + Yes, of course he will; + Fix him out with hook and line, + And let him try his skill. + +[Illustration] + + "Shall I fish for mackerel? + Shall I fish for shad?" + "Pull up any fish that bites, + That's a jolly lad!" + +A.B.C. + + + + +WHAT WE SAW IN THE WOODS. + + +We were camping out in the woods, not far from the Canada line. In the +party were my brother Tom, Mr. Brisk, who was a sportsman of fame, and +uncle Ralph, who hated the sound of a gun. + +[Illustration] + +One day, as I was roaming through the thick wood, what should I see but +a male deer, with branching horns, looking up at the blue sky! + +I crept back softly to our tent, and told Mr. Brisk what I had seen. He +seized his gun. "What's that you say, Tom?" asked uncle Ralph. "Only +this," said I; "there is a fine fat deer down by the brook; and, as we +are all fond of venison, I think it's a good chance for Mr. Brisk to get +a good shot at him." + +"Oh! that's it, is it?" said uncle Ralph, while his eyes flashed with +mischief. "By all means let us kill the deer. Come, Brisk, where's your +gun?" + +Mr. Brisk was looking at the barrels and the caps of his gun to see if +all was right; then he said to uncle Ralph, "You and Tom had better stay +here; for too many of us may startle the deer." + +"Go on," said uncle Ralph. "Be quick, or you will lose your chance." + +Mr. Brisk started for the brook, treading carefully, so as not to make a +noise. No sooner was he gone than uncle Ralph seized me by the collar, +and said, "Now, you young scapegrace, come along with me, and help me +save the life of that deer." + +The old gentleman was in earnest. He could not bear to see life +destroyed, whether of bird or beast. He lived on vegetables and fruits, +and believed that the lower animals have souls. We took a by-path to the +brook, and there found the deer quietly grazing. + +Just as Mr. Brisk was preparing to fire, uncle Ralph threw a stone at +the deer, and sent him off on a fast gallop through the woods. + +"Hallo! What did you do that for?" asked Mr. Brisk. + +"I did it so that you should not have a venison dinner," said uncle +Ralph, laughing. + +Mr. Brisk was pretty mad at first; but at last he joined in the laugh, +and we all had a good feast on strawberries instead Of Venison. + +THOMAS STAFFORD. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +BABY READING TO HER MOTHER. + + + She is tired of her dolly, and tired of her play, + And she thinks she will read to her mother to-day. + + So, seated on the carpet, this little Kitty Brown + Reads story after story, though the book is upside down. + +M.D.B. + + + + +NOW, AND THEN. + + + "Well, well, well!" said grandmamma, + "Only to see the toys,-- + The marvels of skill and of beauty, + That are made for these girls and boys!-- + Velocipedes, acrobats, barrows, + And a dozen kinds of ball, + And the beautiful bows and arrows, + With quivers and belts and all; + And dolls, with an outfit from Paris, + With eyes that open and shut, + With jewelry worth a small fortune, + And six several bonnets,--_tut, tut!_ + + "My goodness! If Polly and Rachel, + Who played in old times with me, + In the corner down by the smoke-house, + These wonderful dolls could see! + Rachel's doll had a round head whittled + From a bit of soft pine wood; + And Polly's was only a corn-cob, + With a calico slip and hood. + My doll was a lovely rag-baby, + With badly-inked eyes and nose; + Her cheeks were painted with cherry-juice; + And I made every stitch of her clothes. + + "Nathan's bow was a pliant whalebone, + And his arrow a white-pine stick; + Such a life as his archery practice + Led the cats and each wretched chick! + Our tea-sets were bits of dishes + That mother had thrown away, + With chincapin saucers and acorn-cups; + And our dolls slept on moss and hay. + With a May-apple leaf for a parasol + We played 'Lady-come-to-see,' + Polly's house was the kitchen door-step, + And mine was the apple-tree. + + "We never saw 'Germans' and 'Matinees,' + And we played good romping plays; + And, somehow, I think we were happier far + Than the children are nowadays. + Our swing was an old, wild grape-vine; + We waded and climbed and ran, + And never were weary, nor sick, nor 'bored' + From the minute that day began. + Well, well, well!" said grandmamma, + "In spite of their wonderful toys, + I do believe we had merrier times + Than these little girls and boys!" + +ALICE WILLIAMS BROTHERTON. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration: DRAWING-LESSON.] + + +THE FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER. + + +Amy Cooper lived in a little fishing-village, not far from the cliffs of +Dover, in England. She was the daughter of a poor fisherman, who worked +hard for his family. Mr. Cooper was such a good, kind man, that no one +could help loving him. His children loved him dearly; and no one loved +him quite so dearly as his daughter Amy. + +She was a thoughtful little girl, and at the time of my story was twelve +years old. She saw that her father's health was failing through hard +work; and the one great thought in her mind was, "How can I help my dear +father to earn money for us all?" + +This was a hard question, and it was long before Amy could find an +answer. But one day, with her aunt, she took a long walk to Dover. Here +she saw a large hotel, and many well-clad persons in a pleasant park +near by. It was on this visit to Dover that Amy formed a plan about +which I am going to tell you. + +Now it had happened three years before, that a poor young man of the +name of Simpson had been saved from drowning by Amy's father. I fear +that the young man had thrown himself into the water because he was sick +of life, but I dare say he was glad enough to be pulled out. + +Mr. Cooper took him home, gave him a room and a bed, and there Mr. +Simpson staid for some time. He was what is called an artist. He had a +great talent for drawing with a pen and ink. He taught Amy to do this. +She soon did it so well, that he said to her, "Keep on trying, my dear, +and it may be a great help to you by and by." + +Sure enough she did keep on trying. Her one thought was to do so well +that she could make money by her art. Poor Mr. Simpson died after he had +staid with the honest fisherman two years; and his last words to Amy +were, "Keep on practising, my dear: don't let a day pass without it. I +am sure you will make an artist." + +Amy had followed his advice; and now, when her father was ill, she +resolved to see if she could riot, turn her art to account. She made +twenty sketches with pen and ink. They were sketches of fishermen--drawn +from life; and they were done with a spirit and skill that struck every +one with surprise. + +[Illustration] + +Taking the specimens with her, she went to Dover, and showed them to the +ladies and gentlemen. At last one gentleman, a Mr. Ritson, who was rich, +and fond of art, said to her, "Don't try to humbug me, little girl. Yon +never did this work. Come in, and let me test you." + +"Do it," said Amy, bravely and confidently. + +He took her into the reading-room of the hotel, and in a few minutes she +produced a likeness of Mr. Ritson, which made him cry out, "Bravo, +bravo, little girl! You have done it! Forgive my suspicions. Here is a +guinea for what you have done. Come here to-morrow at this time, and I +will see what I can do to help you." + +Amy, wild with joy, took the money home to her father. The prosperity of +the family was now assured. Mr. Ritson proved to be a true friend. He +showed Amy's sketches to a great many persons, and praised them so +highly, that she soon began to have orders. + +She continued to improve, and in time became quite a successful artist. +She had as much work as she could do, and earned more in a month than +her father could earn in a year. He soon got well, and lived to take +great comfort in the fame of his dear little girl. + +ALFRED SELWYN. + + * * * * * + + + + +JOHNNY AND THE TOAD. + + +JOHNNY. + + I want to go to school, + And he won't let me pass; + I think that a toad + Ought to keep on the grass. + I don't want to cry; + But I'm afraid I'm going to: + Oh, dear me! + What am I to do? + + +TOAD. + +[Illustration] + + Here's a dreadful thing!-- + A boy in the way, + I don't know what to do: + I don't know what to say. + I can't see the reason + Such monsters should be loose: + I'm trembling all over; + But that is of no use. + + +JOHNNY. + + I must go to school, + The bell is going to stop: + That terrible old toad,-- + If he only would hop! + + +TOAD. + + I must cross the path, + I can hear my children croak; + I hope that dreadful boy + Will not give me a poke. + + A hop and a start, a flutter and a rush, + Johnny is at school, and the toad in his bush. + +H.A.F. + + * * * * * + + + + +THE HEN WHO HELPED HERSELF. + + +In a city not far from Boston, there once lived a stout little fellow +named Willie Wilkins. He was six years old, had red cheeks and blue +eyes, and such curly hair that it was always in a tumble, no matter how +much it was brushed. + +One summer his mamma took him into the country to spend a few weeks at a +farm-house. The farmer's wife, Mrs. Hill, was very glad to have him +come, for she had no girls or boys of her own, to make the house +pleasant. She liked to see Willie running about, and hear his shrill +voice calling after the great house-dog Bruno. + +One morning Willie had been as busy as ever at his play: he had been in +the orchard, hunting for ripe apples; he had been in the barn, looking +for hen's eggs in the sweet hay; he had been down to the brook, sailing +his boat; and he had played market-man, with Bruno harnessed for a +horse. + +[Illustration] + +After all this, the little boy was both tired and hungry: so he went +back to the house, and sat down on the broad stone steps outside the +kitchen-door to rest. Mrs. Hill was busy in the kitchen, frying +doughnuts, and, when Willie saw what she was doing, he was more hungry +than ever. The doughnuts looked very brown and nice; but Willie was too +bashful to ask for one. + +At last Mrs. Hill looked up, and, seeing Willie's blue eyes fixed upon +her with such an eager gaze, she guessed at once what he wanted. She +gave him a doughnut and a kiss, and he sat down on the doorstep with +the doughnut in his hand. But he had hardly taken two bites of it, when +a strange thing happened. + +Some hens were scratching around in the yard to find food for themselves +and their chickens. Now one old Biddy, who had a large family to provide +for, and who was almost tired out with hunting for worms, looked at +Willie's doughnut with a longing eye. She walked close up to the +doorstep, arched her neck, and clucked, asking as plainly as she knew +how for a piece of doughnut. But Willie was too busy even to look at +her. + +At last Biddy became impatient. As no notice was taken of her civil +request, she made up her mind to take, without further asking, what +Willie did not seem inclined to give. She was a little afraid to do it; +but her chickens were teasing for more food, and she was determined to +get enough for them. + +So she stepped up beside Willie, snatched the doughnut out of his hand, +and ran away with it as fast as she could. Her chickens ran after her, +screaming for the fine feast which their mother had stolen for them. + +And there sat Willie on the doorstep, his eyes bigger and bluer than +ever, amazed to find himself robbed in this way by a respectable looking +old hen. He did not know what to do, and was half inclined to cry. + +But, when little children are in trouble, there is always one thing they +can do: they can go to their mamma, and ask her help. Willie thought of +this, and trotted off with a very sober face to tell his mamma this +wonderful story of the hen who helped herself. + +L.R. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +THE GREAT JOURNEY. + + + "Come, my baby, all alone!" + Was so long a baby-journey ever known? + All the way, so wide and bare, + From the table to the chair; + 'Tis no wonder he should linger, + Holding on to papa's finger, + Though his mother beckons there + From her throne, + With, "Come, baby, all alone!" + + "Come, my baby, all alone!" + Were such mingled doubt and daring ever shown? + Now he drops his hold, and then + Closer clings to it again; + Now he steps out with a shiver, + As one tries a rapid river, + And shrinks back, and wonders when, + Taller grown, + Baby shall go all alone. + + "Here comes baby, all alone!" + Was a more victorious bravery ever known? + Right across the trackless space + The small feet have won their race; + And he tosses back thereafter + Such a peal of ringing laughter! + It laughs out from every face, + Proud to own + "Baby has gone all alone!' + + Back goes baby all alone. + Oh what inches, all at once, has baby grown! + Back and forth, with merry cries, + Like a little bird he flies; + First to father, then to mother, + Then to sister, then to brother, + Greeting each with laughing eyes. + Bravely done! + Shout for baby, every one! + +GEORGE S. BURLEIGH. + + + + +A WOFUL TALE. + +[Illustration] + + +CHAPTER I. + +MAKING FRIENDS. + + +Jane has on a clean apron. In her hand she has a piece of cake. She has +just taken one bite when she meets a dog. + +"Good dog," says Jane, "come let me pat you." He looks up, and whines, +as much as to say, "I am glad to see you, Jane." + + + + +CHAPTER II. + +RATHER TOO INTIMATE. + +[Illustration] + + +"You like me, don't you?" says Jane. "You are a sweet little pet. I +wonder what your name is. I shall name you Skip. Come up here, Skip, and +let me smooth your silken hair." + +So Skip springs up, and puts both of his front paws on little Jane's +clean apron. Jane is startled. Does he want to kiss her, or does he want +the cake? Ah, it is the cake that the sly rogue wants! + + + + +CHAPTER III. + +THE END. + + +Jane is seated on the ground. She is in tears. Her friend Skip has left +her. Her cake has gone too. Did Skip snatch it away from her? + +Yes, he did, without giving her a chance to take a second bite. And he +pushed her down besides. And he ran away and left her. Poor little girl! +Ungrateful little dog! + +JANE OLIVER. + +[Illustration] + + + + + +[Illustration] + + +THE BROKEN KITE. + + +It was a splendid great kite, almost as tall as George himself. It was a +birthday-gift from his grandfather. + +George had never owned a kite before; and there never was a happier boy +than he when he went out to fly it for the first time. + +But he came back looking quite sad. + +"Why, what is the matter my boy?" said his grandfather. + +George held up his kite. There was a large hole in it. In trying to +raise his kite, the little boy, being perhaps rather clumsy, had got it +entangled in a tree. Its beauty was spoiled, and George had brought it +home without having had the pleasure of seeing it up in the sky. + +"Well, well," said his kind old grandfather, "we will have it mended and +try it again. Better luck next time!" + +Carlo, the dog, looked up, as much as to say, "If there is anything I +can do for you, George, call on me." + +But George's bright little sister Susan, without saying a word, ran into +the house and brought a pot of paste and some paper. "I'll mend it for +you, George," said she, "in three minutes." + +And sure enough, she mended it so neatly that it was as good as new the +next morning, and George took it out again with a face as merry as ever. +He got it up in fine style this time, and had a grand time flying it. + +It went up higher and pulled harder than any kite on the play-ground. +Susan, who often went out with George to have a share of the fun, was +hardly strong enough to hold it. + +[Illustration] + +One day when Susan was trying to wind up the string, the stick slipped +out of her hands, and away went the kite. George got it back after a +hard chase, but it was torn to shreds. Susan now looked sad in her turn. + +But George only laughed, and said, "Never mind, Susie. Bring out the old +paste-pot again." + +IDA FAY. + + + + +SUMMER GAMES. + +Words by GEORGE COOPER. + +Music by T. CRAMPTON. + + +[Illustration: Music] + +1.

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.pglaf.org. + + +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://pglaf.org + +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.

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. diff --git a/15928.zip b/15928.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..291a1f5 --- /dev/null +++ b/15928.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
