For a time the +little fellow was quiet enough, but he got very inquisitive when being +driven towards the city, and wanted to have a look round. I managed to +quiet him by giving him pieces of lump-sugar. He arrived safely at the +Crystal Palace, and has lived in an aviary till the beginning of last +month, when he was put into his new bear-pit.

So Milly came one day and selected a nice little black and +white one. We were very sorry when Tom took the little creatures and put +them in the pond at the bottom of the garden. As they were very young +and could not feel much, we thought Topsy would soon forget them.

He +liked nothing better than to meet me outside the house and have a romp, +and he would take me all round the barn and show me the ducks, and hens, +and the nice little chickens, and wheel me round in the baby-carriage, +while he capered and danced about like a high-mettled steed. I can tell +you we had plenty of fun, and father often used to wonder how it was I +liked Washington so much, but it was only because he was more kind and +considerate than any of the other servants. His old mother lived in a +little cottage with his younger brother and sister, and he used to take +me round there sometimes, and they had always something new to show me.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 480px;"> +<img src="images/082_my_friend.jpg" width="480" height="613" alt="image" title="image" /> +</div> + +<hr style="width: 55%;" /> + +<h2>THE YOUNG MONKEY.</h2> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">A little Monkey chanced to find<br /></span> +<span class="i0">A walnut in its outward rind;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">He snatched the prize with eager haste,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And bit it, but its bitter taste<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Soon made him throw the fruit away.<br /></span> +<span class="i0">"I've heard," he cried, "my mother say<br /></span> +<span class="i0">(But she was wrong), the fruit was good;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Preserve me from such bitter food!"<br /></span> +<span class="i0">A monkey by experience taught,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">The falling prize with pleasure caught;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Took off the husk and broke the shell,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">The kernel peeled, and liked it well.<br /></span> +<span class="i0">"Walnuts," said he, "are good and sweet,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">But must be opened ere you eat."<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And thus in life you'll always find<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Labor comes first,—reward behind.<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 480px;"> +<img src="images/084_monkey.jpg" width="480" height="557" alt="image" title="image" /> +</div> + +<hr style="width: 55%;" /> + +<h2>DON'T YOU LIKE MY CAT?</h2> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">I like my cat, I like him well,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">As all the house may see<br /></span> +<span class="i0">I like him for himself, and not<br /></span> +<span class="i2">Because the cat likes me.<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">He counts his only work in life,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">To flourish and be fat;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And this he does with all his might;—<br /></span> +<span class="i2">Of course, I like my cat.<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">His eyes shine out beneath his brows,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">As eyes have rarely shone;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">His beauty is the grandest thing<br /></span> +<span class="i2">That ever cat put on.<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">He wears a paw of wondrous bulk,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">With secret claws to match,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And puts a charm in all its play,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">The pat, the box, the scratch.<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">I have not heard how cats are made<br /></span> +<span class="i2">Within their furry veil,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">But rather fancy Tippo's thoughts<br /></span> +<span class="i2">Lie chiefly in his tail.<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">For while in every other part<br /></span> +<span class="i2">His portly person sleeps,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">That bushy tail, with steady wave,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">A ceaseless vigil keeps.<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 480px;"> +<img src="images/086_my_cat.jpg" width="480" height="619" alt="image" title="image" /> +</div> + +<hr style="width: 55%;" /> + +<h2>A LARK IN A CRICKET-GROUND.</h2> + +<p>A few days ago I was passing through Sonning, an old English village on +the Thames, when I was attracted to a field near the road by hearing the +merry sounds of the village school at a game of cricket. I could not +resist the pleasure of pausing to watch the boys at play. Before long my +curiosity was aroused by shouts of "Look out!" "Take care!" "Mind where +you're going!" whenever any boy approached a certain spot, which seemed +to be within a few yards of one of the wickets. I asked one of the party +what such outcries meant. He replied—"Oh, that's our lark, sir!" On +inquiry I found that some weeks before, the boys discovered a titlark's +nest in the ground close to their cricket-piece. One of the boys seems +to have made the suggestion that the school should take the lark under +their special patronage. The proposal was adopted, and it became a daily +business to see, before settling to their play, that all was right with +the lark.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 480px;"> +<img src="images/088_lark.jpg" width="480" height="555" alt="image" title="image" /> +</div> + +<hr style="width: 55%;" /> + +<h2>HELPING MOTHER.</h2> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">I shall help mother when I am grown big;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">When I am old enough, oh! wont I dig,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Plough with the horses, and call out "Gee-ho!"<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Plant the potatoes, fell timber, and mow?<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">Then I shall fetch the cows home to the byre,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Carry such fagots to make mother's fire,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Reap and make hay—Hush! who calls?

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

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.

In it came at the window, the dearest +little yellow canary, not a bit afraid; chirping, +turning its pretty head this way and that, and asking its +little bird questions which nobody could understand. + +George, and Winifred, and little Bruce were all filled +with delight and amazement at the small visitor. Wise +George flew to shut the window, kind Winny ran for +cake, and solemn Bruce took his finger out of his mouth +and stared. + +Meanwhile Dicky sidled, and fluttered, and chattered, +and at last showed he was used to society by setting +down on George's finger, winking at Bruce, and making +a good meal of Winny's cake. + +"Do you think he can have flown straight from the +Canary Islands?" asked Winny. + +But George shook his head; it was too far. + +But still they had a feeling that the little visitor was +a sort of emigrant, who must be led to settle at Fairleigh +Cottage; and Winny ran to ask her mother for the half-crown +out of her money-box to buy him a cage. + +"Mother's coming," she said. "She thinks Birdie +belongs to some one else, because he is so tame." + +"But there are no canaries in the village, except the +schoolmaster's pair," said wise George; "and this little +beauty is not one of them. I really think this bird must +have come to look for a home." + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: A] + +Stands over Apples, +So rosy and round. + +[Illustration: B] + +Begins the word Berries, +Which grow near the ground. + +[Illustration: C] + +Commences Cherries, +They grow upon trees. + +[Illustration: D] + +Date-Palms or Desert, +Spell which word you please. + + +[Illustration] + +THE DUCKS. + + + One little black duck, + One little gray, + Six little white ducks + Running out to play. +One white lady-duck, motherly and trim, +Eight little baby-ducks bound for a swim. + One little white duck + Running from the water, + One very fat duck-- + Pretty little daughter; +One very grave duck, swimming off alone, +One little white duck, standing on a stone. + One little white duck + Holding up its wings, + One little bobbing duck + Making water-rings; +One little black duck, turning round its head, +One big black duck--see, he's gone to bed. +One little lady-duck, motherly and trim, +Eight little baby-ducks bound for a swim. +One lazy black duck, taking quite a nap, +One precious duck, here on mother's lap. + + +[Illustration] + +IN TROUBLE. + + +In terrible trouble is baby: + Full loudly he screams and he cries; +His breakfast is lost, and replace it + He cannot,--however he tries. + +The cup of warm milk all so tempting, + Stood safe but a moment ago; +In his haste he leant over to grasp it, + But instead threw it all down below. + +At once he burst forth into weeping, + And heart-rending shrieks loud and shrill; +He saw not a kind hand was near him + The empty cup soon to refill. + +Dear baby! too often we elders, + Like you, break our hearts without need, +And see not the Hand that provides us + Our food in sweet harvests and seed. + +If a check ever lessens our plenty, + And wasted our crops ever lie, +Then, forgetful of all our past blessings, + How hastily rises our cry! + +Ah! dry we our blinding tears, baby, + Look up to our Father above, +And patiently wait till he fills us + Our cups in His mercy and love. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: E] + +Twined by Evergreens. +They never fade. + +[Illustration: F] + +Found in Fern-leaves, +Which grow in the shade. + +[Illustration: G] + +Is a Grape-vine, +Bearing some fruit. + +[Illustration: H] + +Holds a Holly bush +Plucked by the root. + + +[Illustration] + +DANCE, DOGGIE, DANCE. + + + Now, Fido, I have dressed you up + In cap, and coat, and cape; + No, no, indeed my little friend, + You cannot yet escape! + Papa has seen a foreign dog + Dressed up like you in France, + And says that little poodle pup + Was quickly taught to dance. + + Come, Fido, now you must be good, + I will not hurt you there; + Now stand upon your hinder-legs + And lift them in the air. + Listen--I will hum the tune + And you must dance with me; + I want both paws, sir, if you please. + Come, Fido--one, two, three! + + "Good doggie! as I've taught you that-- + Oh dear! he's run away. + The naughty dog! he sees a cat. + Come here, sir! Fido, stay! + There now, he's off and won't come back; + We'll dance no more to-day; + And Fido's got my dress and cape-- +Oh! what _will_ mother say?" + + +[Illustration] + +THE ORGAN-BOY. + +The children are fond of a merry tune, +so they have given the organ-boy a +penny to play. The babies stare at the +organ, as though they thought it a very +funny box to make such a noise. One little +child, with a doll in her arms, is giving a +piece of bread to the monkey, but he looks +as if he suspected it was a trick. The boy +has a cloth over his organ, to protect it +when it rains. I do not like to see monkeys +led about in this way. I think it is cruel, +and must cause them much suffering, +especially if they have a cruel master. But +I think this little boy will be kind to his +little companion, and not twist and throw it +about as some of the men do. Monkeys +are very amusing, after they go through a +short training, and will do all manner of +tricks for their master. + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: I] + +Is an Ivy vine, +It clings where it grows. + +[Illustration: J] + +Is a Jessamine, +Most fragrant it blows. + +[Illustration: K] + +The rich Kidney bean, +Nutritious for food. + +[Illustration: L] + +Is the Lily, +An emblem of good. + + +[Illustration] + +ONLY A BOY. + + + Only a boy, with his noise and fun, + The veriest mystery under the sun; + As brimful of mischief, and wit, and glee, + As ever human frame can be; + And as hard to manage, as--ah!--ah, me! + 'Tis hard to tell, + Yet we love him well. + +Only, a boy, with his fearful tread, +Who cannot be driven, but must be led; +Who troubles the neighbors' dogs and cats, +And who tears more clothes and spoils more hats, +Loses more tops, and kites, and bats, + Than would stock a store, + For a year or more. + +Only a boy, who will be a man, +If nature goes on with her first great plan; +If water, or fire, or some fatal snare +Conspire not to rob us of this, our heir. +Our blessing, our trouble, our rest, our care; + Our torment, our joy-- + "Only, a boy." + + +[Illustration] + +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 to 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. + 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 only he 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. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: M] + +Holds a Moss rose, +Covered with down. + +[Illustration: N] + +Stands for Walnuts, +In the woods they are found. + +[Illustration: O] + +Is an Orange, +So juicy and sweet. + +[Illustration: P] + +A Pine-apple, +Both are good to eat. + + +[Illustration] + +DOLLY'S CLOTHES. + + +I want to make your things look nice, + Dolly--because, you see, +To-morrow evening Cousin Jane + Is coming here to tea. + +Your muslin skirt is white and stiff-- + I'm very glad of that; +But as my little iron's cold, + The tucks will not lie flat. + +Jane's doll will come--she makes its clothes + Herself, and very neatly; +And when she brings it visiting, + She dresses it up sweetly. + +When I put on your pretty frock, + Your sash, and sleeve-knots blue, +I really think that you will be + Quite a smart dolly too. + + +[Illustration] + +THE KITTEN. + + +Wanton droll, whose harmless play +Beguiles the rustic's closing day, +When drawn the evening fire about, +Sit aged crone and thoughtless lout; +Come, show thy tricks and sportive graces, +Thus circled round with merry faces. +Backward coiled, and crouching low, +With glaring eyeballs watch thy foe. +The house wife's, spindle whirling round, +Or thread, or straw, that on the ground +Its shadow throws, by urchin sly, +Held out to lure thy roving eye. +Then, onward stealing, fiercely spring +Upon the futile, faithless thing. +Now, wheeling round with bootless skill, +Thy bo-peep tail provokes thee still, +As oft beyond thy curving side +Its jetty tip is seen to glide. +Whence hast thou, then, thou witless puss, +The magic power to charm us thus? +Is it that in thy glaring eye, +And rapid movements we descry-- +While we at ease, secure from ill, +The chimney corner snugly fill. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: Q] + +Quinces when ripe, +Have an excellent flavor. + +[Illustration: R] + +The Rose when presented, +Is a sign of favor. + +[Illustration: S] + +Strawberries in dish, +With sugar and cream. + +[Illustration: T] + +Tomatoes as fine +As ever were seen. + + +[Illustration] + +JACK. + +The name of the bear is _Jack_. I fetched +him from the West India Import Dock +on the 5th of November, 1870. He was running +about with another bear on board ship, +but the job was to catch him. After many +attempts we at last put a strong collar round +his neck, to which was attached a long chain, +and then we got him into a large barrel and +fastened the head on with hoop-iron, lowered +him over the side of the vessel into a +boat, and then pulled to the quay, and hauled +him up into a cart. For a time the little fellow +was quiet enough, but he got very inquisitive +when being driven towards the +city, and wanted to have a look round. I +managed to quiet him by giving him pieces +of lump-sugar. He arrived safely at the Crystal +Palace, and has lived in an aviary till the +beginning of last month, when he was put +into his new bear-pit. The little fellow has +grown twice the size he was when he first +came. He is very playful, but sometimes +he shows his teeth when he is teased. + +[Illustration] + +THE PLAY-GROUND. + +The lessons are learned, and now we +all join hands, and march to the play-ground. +And a nice play-ground we have, +and every day when it is fine we enjoy +ourselves very much. Some like to swing +round the great pole, others join hands and +form a large ring, and then we try to see +which side of the ring can pull the hardest. +Others like to run a race, and try who will +run three times round the play-ground first. +When it is wet we march round our large +school-room, keeping time with our feet. +And then we have such splendid fun +playing "Tag," first one, and then the +other, racing round over benches, and +under and around the desks, until we are +fairly tired out. Then we hear the bell +ring, and we march in, two by two, to +commence our lessons again. + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: U] + +Unicorn root, +Good at times for the health. + +[Illustration: V] + +A beautiful Vine, +All alone by itself. + +[Illustration: W] + +Wheat in the field, +Gently waved by the wind. + +[Illustration: X] + +Xanthic flowers, which +Are a bright yellow kind. + + +[Illustration] + +THE STORY OF TOPSY. + +Topsy had four kittens, but as it was +settled that we could not keep more +than one, and little Milly Knight wanting +one, the other two had to be drowned. So +Milly came one day and selected a nice little +black and white one. We were very sorry +when Tom took the little creatures and put +them in the pond at the bottom of the +garden. As they were very young and +could not feel much, we thought Topsy +would soon forget them. Well, on the +evening that they were drowned, while the +cook was in her pantry, with the window +open, she saw something come rushing +along, and, in another minute, Topsy leaped +through the window, carrying in her mouth +one of the kittens, dripping wet, which she +laid on the mat and began to lick with all +her might. And how she licked it! Over +and over, and over again, till, as the cook +said, she "licked it into life." The little +kitten got well, and became, owing to its +narrow escape, and the love displayed, a +great pet ever afterward. + +[Illustration] + +PLAYING AT HORSES. + + +The copies and the lessons + Are finished for to-day, +And out the happy children + At "horses" come to play. + +Conny, and Frank, and Archie, + With doggie "Trim," are there; +Conny and Frank are harnessed, + And Archie drives the pair. + +Away, away they scamper, + Across the breezy park; +And doggie runs beside them + With merry, happy bark. + +For breath they pause a minute, + Then off they start again, +For they pretend they're going + To meet papa's down train. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration: Y] + +To find these bright flags, +In the marsh you must hunt. + +[Illustration: Z] + +A Zigadenus flower, +Changing color each month. + + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +TROTTY'S CARD HORSES. + + +This stands + Firm, and strong +Another one + We'll build hereon. + +Keep away, + Now we'll see, +If 'twill hold + A number three. + +Try another, + One more, +Raise it to + A fourth floor. + +Yet another; + Oh, what fun! +That's too many-- + Down they come. + + +THE FIRST VALENTINE. + + +Rat-tat at the door! Rat-tat at the door! + Here are valentines one, two, three; +There is one for Harry, and one for Will, + And a big one for girlie, see! +Wildly she flies o'er the nursery floor, + Never was girlie so happy before, +As she shouts in her baby glee-- +"Oh! I've got a valentine, all come, look! +As big as the sheet of a picture book! +Now, don't you wish you all, like me, +Had a great big heart painted red, you see?" + +All day long--now in, now out-- +Now up, now down--she wanders about +Showing her treasure; 'tis fast getting torn, +But paper, we all know, is very soon worn. +"Who do you think can love me the most +To buy this, and send it alone by the post? +Do look again, you must like to see, +'Tis a great big heart, and it 'longs to me, +And please to read me the written line +That says, 'God bless your sweet valentine!'" + + +[Illustration] + +SAGACITY OF A DOG. + +A very interesting story is told by Mr. +Youatt: "I wanted, one day, to go +through a tall iron gate, from one part of +my premises to another, but just within +it lay a poor lame puppy, and I could not +get in without perhaps seriously injuring +him. I stood for a while hesitating, and +at length determined to go round through +another gate, when a fine Newfoundland +dog, who had been waiting patiently for +his wonted caresses, and wondering why +I did not come in, looked accidently down +at the invalid. He comprehended the whole +business in a moment. He put down his +great paw, and, as quickly and as gently as +possible, rolled the invalid out of the way, +and then drew himself back in order to +leave room for the opening of the gate." + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +The Little Gleaner. + + +Little Ruth, like the woman of old of that name, +Returns from the field, where she gathered the grain. + + +[Illustration] + +IN THE SWING. + + +"Up little Gracie! Swing up high, +As if you're going to touch the sky; +Only, take care, my darling pet-- +Hold the two ropes, and don't forget. + +"Up again, Gracie! There--that's right, +Laughing away, but holding tight; +While little Dottie waits below, +And Harry sends you to and fro. + +"Stop, Harry, now! 'tis time for Grace +To yield to little Dot her place. +Be gentle, dear, for Dot's so small-- +If you're not careful, she may fall." + +The children change; for all the three +Are fair in play, and well agree; +And now the youngest laughing pet +Begs for "a little higher!" yet. + + +[Illustration] + +THE DONKEY RIDE. + +"Oh, papa! will you please buy me a +donkey?" said little Ella Clark to her +father, as she ran to meet him. "Well," +said her father, "if you will promise to be +a very good girl, and give your sister May +a share of the rides, I will get one in the +city and send it home." So, in a few days +the donkey came, with a new bridle and +saddle. The next thing to do was to give +him a name; so, after trying a great many +they agreed to call him "Jack." The next +day Ella and May were up early and went +to the barn, where they found Henry, and +asked him to saddle "Jack." Henry brushed +down "Jack's" thick coat of hair, and made +him look quite trim, and he then placed Ella +on "Jack's" back, and walked him up and +down, holding on to Ella, and in a short +time she could ride alone, and felt as proud +as a queen when her father saw her sitting +up on "Jack's" back. She then gave May +a ride, and at last got so bold as to take +"Jack" down the lane alone, and had a +splendid time riding up and down. + +[Illustration] + +THE SPELLING LESSON. + + +Now, Pussy, you must be real good, + And learn to spell like me; +When I say, "Pussy, what is this?" + You must say, That is C. + +Don't scratch, and twist, and turn about, + And try to get away; +But, Pussy, please to try and learn: + This is the letter A. + +There now, that's nice, you're doing well; + Oh, dear! where can she be; +Just as I'd taught her how to spell + Clear to the letter T. + +She jumped and ran away so fast, + She must have seen a rat; +And now how will she ever know + That C-A-T spells Cat. + + +[Illustration] + +"GEE UP, PONY." + + +When mother threw open the nursery door, +There she found uncle down on the floor; +While up on his back sat Harry and Fred, +And Nellie stood by and was stroking his head. + +"This is my pony," cried Harry: "gee way; +Get on, old Dobbin--don't wait here all day." +And "Gee way," says Freddy, who thinks he must do +Whatever his brother may do or say too. + +And uncle good-humoredly keeps on his round, +Creeping and crawling about on the ground; +And mother still hears, as she goes on her way, +"Come, gee up, my pony--don't wait here all day." + + +[Illustration] + +GOOD-NIGHT AND GOOD-MORNING. + + +A fair little girl sat careless and free, +Sewing as long as her eyes could see; +Then smoothed her work, and folded it right, +And said "Dear Work! good-night! good-night!" + +Such a number of rooks came over her head, +Crying "Caw! Caw!" on their way to bed. +She said, as she watched their curious flight, +"Little black things! good-night! good-night!" + +The horses neighed, and the oxen lowed; +The sheeps "Bleat! bleat!" came over the road-- +All seeming to say with a quiet delight, +"Good little girl! good-night! good-night!" + +The tall pink foxglove bowed his head-- +The violets curtsied and went to bed; +And good little Lucy tied up her hair, +And said on her knees her favorite prayer. + +And while on her pillow she softly lay, +She knew nothing more till again it was day; +And all things said to the beautiful sun, +"Good-morning! good-morning! our work is begun." + + +[Illustration] + +A DEAR LITTLE GRANNY. + + +I want to be your granny-- + Granny, granny dear; +Do you think in glasses + I'm anything like near? + +Would you take me for her + If I wore her cap; +Told you pretty stories, + Took you in my lap? + +Gave you lots of sweeties, + Cakes and apples too? +That's the way that grannies, + Dear old grannies do! + + +[Illustration] + +PLAYING IN THE HAY. + +Little Elsie and Gertie live in the +country. They do not see the gay +shops full of pretty things that amuse children +in New York, and they have never +been to a bazaar, or to the Zoological +Gardens, but they have sweet flowers to +smell and look at, and live creatures about +them at home. They find amusements at +all seasons of the year, and are very merry. +You see them now in the field where the +grass has been cut and is drying into hay +that the horses and cows will eat. The +children have had fine fun in the hay; they +have spread and tossed it, and Gertie has +pretended to feed her toy goat with it, and +now she wants Elsie to hide her in it that +she may jump out and surprise James their +brother, who is coming in at the gate. + +[Illustration] + + +"Lamb of God! I look to Thee, +Thou shalt my example be; +Thou art gentle, meek and mild; +Thou wast once a little child. + +Fain I would be as Thou art. +Give me thy obedient heart: +Thou art pitiful, and kind; +Let me have thy loving mind. + +Let me above all fulfil +God my heavenly Father's will; +Never his good Spirit grieve, +Only to his glory live. + +Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb! +In thy gracious hands I am; +Make me, Saviour, what Thou art; +Live thyself within my heart. + +I shall then show forth thy praise; +Serve thee all my happy days; +Then the world shall always see +Christ, the Holy Child in me." + + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +PUPPIES AND TORTOISE. + + +A sight most strange and wonderful + Three little puppies saw-- +A creature out of shell of horn + Popped out a head and claw. + +They jumped and barked, and barked again, + And stared with open eyes; +The sight of such a strange shaped thing + So filled them with surprise. + +They wondered at its smooth, brown shell, + Its skin both brown and green; +And thought it was the strangest sight + They ever yet had seen. + +They would have tried to bite and scratch + This funny looking thing; +But now they thought it might have hid + A sharp and biting sting. + + +[Illustration] + +"I'M GRANDMOTHER." + +Mary is a good little girl, but is meddlesome. +She has a good Grandmother, +called Mrs. Mason, and she sometimes goes +to her house. One day Mary got into mischief. +Seeing her Grandmother's spectacles +on the table, she put them on her nose, and +said, "I'm Grandmother." Mary began to +march about the room in a very grand way. +Presently the spectacles fell off, and the +glasses were broken. Poor Mary cried bitterly, +and at first did not know what to do; +but when Mrs. Mason came in, she told her all, +and promised never to play "Grandmother" +again. Mrs. Mason told her not to cry, and +she might play "Grandmother" as much as +she liked, but she was to be very careful not +to take her spectacles, and she would get her +papa to get a pair of tin ones, with holes +in them, so that she could see as well, and +look all the funnier. + +[Illustration] + +Our Band. + + +[Illustration: R]ub-a-dub, rub-a-dee, + Oh, such jolly fun! +I'm Signor Blowmore, + And he's Herr Bertrun. + +Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee! + Do we make a noise? +That's the very thing you know + Pleases little boys. + +Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee! + Full of young life's joys, +Playing with the horn and drum, + Best of all the toys. + +Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dee! + Music now hath charms; +You can blow and beat away, + And it no one alarms. + + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE SWAN AND THE DRAKE + + + +Slowly, in majestic silence, + Sailed a Swan upon a lake; +Round about him, never quiet, + Swam a noisy quacking Drake. + +"Swan," exclaimed the latter, halting, + "I can scarcely comprehend +Why I never hear you talking: + Are you really dumb, my friend?" + +Said the Swan, by way of answer: + "I have wondered, when you make +Such a shocking, senseless clatter, + Whether you are deaf, Sir Drake!" + +Better, like the Swan, remain in + Silence grave and dignified, +Than keep, drake-like, ever prating, + While your listeners deride. + + +W.R.E. + +[Illustration] + +UPSETTING BABY'S MILK. + +"Ponto," the dog, who was longing for a +run with nurse and baby, came up into +the nursery to see if they were nearly ready +for their walk. Nurse had gone out of the +room, leaving baby fastened into her chair +with a saucer of milk on the ledge in front of +her. Ponto would not have taken the milk +without leave--he knew better how to behave +than that; but he wanted baby to give +him some, and did not know how easily the +saucer would be upset: one great paw put +on the little shelf sent it over, broke it, and +spilt the milk. You see the baby is not at +all afraid of the dog, and she is too good-tempered +to cry about the milk being spilt; but +she holds her spoon out of Ponto's way and +says, "Naughty, naughty!" + +[Illustration] + +CLEVER TRAY. + +I want to tell you a true story about the +terrier dog you see having a game at hide-and-seek +with our two children. + +One evening, nurse had put baby to bed, +and tucked her in quite snug and warm. +Having to do some shopping, nurse went out, +and, in going along the street she felt something +pulling her skirt, and on looking down +discovered Tray with her skirt in his mouth. +Nurse thought he was only playing, and tried +to shake him off, but he began to bark and +whine, and seemed to say, in his doggish way: +"Please _do_ attend to me; _do_ come back +with me!" that at last, just to see if he would +leave off, she began to walk home. And oh, +how delighted Tray was! When they reached +the house Tray ran up-stairs, and nurse +discovered baby sitting up in bed, and screaming +sadly. The little thing had awoke, and +finding herself alone, began to cry; and the +faithful dog had heard her, and set off +directly to find nurse. + +[Illustration] + +MY FRIEND WASHINGTON. + +When I was a very little girl, one of +my best friends was Washington +Henry. He was one of our servants, who +made himself useful inside of the house, and +was as black as night, as you may see by +the picture. He liked nothing better than +to meet me outside the house and have a +romp, and he would take me all round the +barn and show me the ducks, and hens, and +the nice little chickens, and wheel me round +in the baby-carriage, while he capered and +danced about like a high-mettled steed. I +can tell you we had plenty of fun, and father +often used to wonder how it was I liked +Washington so much, but it was only because +he was more kind and considerate +than any of the other servants. His old +mother lived in a little cottage with his +younger brother and sister, and he used to +take me round there sometimes, and they +had always something new to show me. + +[Illustration] + +THE YOUNG MONKEY. + + +A little Monkey chanced to find +A walnut in its outward rind; +He snatched the prize with eager haste, +And bit it, but its bitter taste +Soon made him throw the fruit away. +"I've heard," he cried, "my mother say +(But she was wrong), the fruit was good; +Preserve me from such bitter food!" +A monkey by experience taught, +The falling prize with pleasure caught; +Took off the husk and broke the shell, +The kernel peeled, and liked it well. +"Walnuts," said he, "are good and sweet, +But must be opened ere you eat." +And thus in life you'll always find +Labor comes first,--reward behind. + + +[Illustration] + +DON'T YOU LIKE MY CAT? + + +I like my cat, I like him well, + As all the house may see +I like him for himself, and not + Because the cat likes me. + +He counts his only work in life, + To flourish and be fat; +And this he does with all his might;-- + Of course, I like my cat. + +His eyes shine out beneath his brows, + As eyes have rarely shone; +His beauty is the grandest thing + That ever cat put on. + +He wears a paw of wondrous bulk, + With secret claws to match, +And puts a charm in all its play, + The pat, the box, the scratch. + +I have not heard how cats are made + Within their furry veil, +But rather fancy Tippo's thoughts + Lie chiefly in his tail. + +For while in every other part + His portly person sleeps, +That bushy tail, with steady wave, + A ceaseless vigil keeps. + + +[Illustration] + +A LARK IN A CRICKET-GROUND. + +A few days ago I was passing through +Sonning, an old English village on the +Thames, when I was attracted to a field near +the road by hearing the merry sounds of the +village school at a game of cricket. I could +not resist the pleasure of pausing to watch the +boys at play. Before long my curiosity was +aroused by shouts of "Look out!" "Take care!" +"Mind where you're going!" whenever any +boy approached a certain spot, which seemed +to be within a few yards of one of the wickets. +I asked one of the party what such outcries +meant. He replied--"Oh, that's our lark, +sir!" On inquiry I found that some weeks +before, the boys discovered a titlark's nest +in the ground close to their cricket-piece. +One of the boys seems to have made the suggestion +that the school should take the lark +under their special patronage. The proposal +was adopted, and it became a daily +business to see, before settling to their +play, that all was right with the lark. + +[Illustration] + +HELPING MOTHER. + + +I shall help mother when I am grown big; +When I am old enough, oh! wont I dig, +Plough with the horses, and call out "Gee-ho!" +Plant the potatoes, fell timber, and mow? + +Then I shall fetch the cows home to the byre, +Carry such fagots to make mother's fire, +Reap and make hay--Hush! who calls? I shant go! +Its only to play with the baby, I know. + +A boy who is seven is too big to do that, +Can't mother nurse her, or give her the cat? +Oh, what a bother! She's calling me still-- +"Come and take the baby off my hands, Bill." + +"I _must_ get your father's socks finished to-night, +And I can't while the little girl pulls the thread tight; +There--lift him up, play at ball or Peep-bo-- +You will help mother then very greatly you know." + +Bill waited a moment. Then into his mind +Came a thought,--"Little boy, if you don't feel inclined +To help mother now, when you easily can, +I'm afraid you won't do it when you are a man." + +So he brightened his face till the baby smiled too; +Hid himself in the cupboard and called out "Cuckoo." +And on his knee fed her with delicious cream, +And helping mother was not so bad it would seem. + + +[Illustration] + +A FOUR-FOOTED THIEF. + + +The Paris _Figaro_ says:--"On Friday a +new kind of robber was arrested not +far from a hatter's, and holding a hat between +his teeth. When efforts were made to take +the hat away he stood on the defensive, and +there was a fight, which ended very badly +for the hat. The thief was a dog. His +master, who has not yet been found, had +taught him to bring home goods to him for +sale, and the hatter accuses him of having +carried off no less than six hats within a +week." + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +THE PERFORMING MONKEYS. + +Amusing creatures! I can look at the +picture with pleasure, because they +are evidently well treated, and have not the +miserably cowed expression we see upon +many of the monkeys that go about our +streets. Sometimes when I have given a +monkey a piece of cake or fruit, I have made +a bargain with the master to let him sit still +and eat it, and much amused I have been +watching the little animal's extreme enjoyment +of the treat and the holiday. The monkeys +at the Zoological Gardens have tolerably +large cages. I wish the parrots were as +well off: they sadly need more space, and +would be glad of bits of stick to play +with. + +[Illustration] + +"BEG, DOGGIE, BEG!" + + +Beg, doggie, beg: Come, come, sit up,-- +No, not that way, you silly pup; + Upon your hind legs sit, +And I will tell you how to ask +For bread--it is an easy task; + And then you'll get a bit. + +Now there--that's right--keep up your paw! +A better dog I never saw. + Oh dear! you're down once more: +I cannot let you off: Now try, +Oh, Jack, I really fear that I + Have got a "treat" in store; + +Look at this cake. Now, sit upright +And stare at me with all you're might, + And then I'll place the food: +That's well: Now, doggie,--quite still-- +You must not stir an inch until + I tell you,--come, that's good! + +One trial more, and you shall eat +This great round cake, just for a treat: + Now sit up, Jacky--so, +Ask for it, sir--just say "bow-wow"-- +And louder still! There make your bow-- + Good dog! now you may go. + + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Baby Chatterbox, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK BABY CHATTERBOX *** + +***** This file should be named 16681.txt or 16681.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/6/6/8/16681/ + +Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the +Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net. + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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/16681.zip b/16681.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7564f21 --- /dev/null +++ b/16681.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.
