+EDITOR'S PORTFOLIO.
+
+
+The present number begins the eighteenth half-yearly volume of "The
+Nursery;" and we are happy to inform our friends that the magazine was
+never so successful as it is to-day. Thus far, we have entered upon
+every new volume with an increased circulation. We look for a still
+larger increase in the future; for there are thousands and thousands of
+children not yet supplied with the work, for whom no other magazine can
+take its place. We have something in preparation for coming numbers
+which will make the eyes of our little readers sparkle with delight. Now
+is the time for canvassers to go to work with a will.
+
+The illustration by Merrill of the "Three Little Culprits" who were kept
+after school to study their spelling-lesson, is one of those happy
+touches of nature that every one can appreciate. The poem by Miss
+Wadsworth is worthy of the picture.
+
+Children who are trying to learn to draw, will be pleased with the
+beautiful subject in our present number. By giving half-an-hour a day to
+drawing now, they will acquire a facility and a skill that will not only
+be of service to them, but a great pleasure to them, all their lives.
+
+If parents or teachers would like to know of two books by the use of
+which teaching may be made a pleasure instead of a task to children,
+they cannot do better than order "The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful
+Book;" the former containing pieces in prose, and the latter, pieces in
+verse, and both of them richly and copiously illustrated with
+appropriate pictures. These books are published at "The Nursery" office
+by John L. Shorey.
+
+Children who enjoy making paper dolls, will find an advertisement at the
+end of this number which is worthy of attention.

+
+THE LOST RABBIT.
+
+
+Bunny was a little rabbit, the youngest of a large family. His home
+was in an old wood, where the trees were very high, and wild-flowers
+grew in great abundance. His mother had given him to understand that
+he must not stray away from her, lest he should get lost, and not be
+able to find her.
+
+But Bunny, like some young children, was self-willed. He thought his
+mother was over-careful; and so, one day, when nobody was watching him,
+he slipped away from her, and sat down amid the grass, under two high
+beech-trees.
+
+He heard his mother calling him, but took no notice of her call. It was
+a warm summer day, and he fell asleep. Soon he was startled by the loud
+barking of dogs. He woke up, and, oh, how frightened he was!
+
+Luckily for him, the dogs did not come where he lay crouching; for their
+masters were shooting birds, not rabbits. Bunny thought the best thing
+he could do now was to scamper back to his mother, his brothers and
+sisters as fast as he could.
+
+But it was not quite so easy to find them again. No sooner had he got
+into the open path than a troop of boys caught sight of him; and at once
+there was a volley of stones from their hands. By rare good luck he was
+not hit by the stones. But he had not gone many paces farther, when a
+man with a gun shot at him. Happily the man missed his aim, and the shot
+went into some bushes.
+
+Having escaped this new danger, Bunny leaped swiftly over the high
+grass, till he came to the fallen trunk of a tree. Here he hoped to find
+his mother; but, ah! there was no trace of her to be seen. Night came
+on; and poor Bunny had to lie down all alone and go to sleep.
+
+The next morning it rained heavily; and Bunny crept into the hollow
+trunk of the tree, where he could keep warm and dry. But before noon
+the sun came out beautifully; and the little rabbit, being very hungry,
+ran out.
+
+The first thing he saw was his mother and the rest of the family eating
+their dinner. Oh, how glad he was! His mother did not scold him, but
+gave him plenty to eat; and he made up his mind, that he never would
+run away again from so good a mother.

+
+A TUG EXCURSION.
+
+
+It was just after dinner when papa said, "Put on your hats quickly, and
+we will go down to the dock, and perhaps we shall find a tug going out."
+
+Ralph had something beside his hat to put on; for, contrary to mamma's
+orders, he had taken off his shoes and stockings. But, with good
+Maggie's help, that wrong was speedily righted, and we were soon on our
+way to the dock.
+
+There we found the stanch tug "Williams" just ready to leave. We jumped
+on board. The ropes were cast off; and a few turns of the wheel took us
+out on the broad expanse of Lake Michigan.
+
+How delighted we all were with the beautiful picture there spread out
+before us!--the broad blue waters, dotted here and there with white
+sails; far away to the right, the smoke arising from a huge steamer on
+her way from Chicago to Buffalo; and away, away, straight ahead of us,
+two white specks, which Captain Charley told us were the vessels he was
+going out for.
+
+A look through the glass proved that the "specks" were _really_ vessels,
+and huge ones too. While we were looking and talking, what do you
+suppose one of the men brought forward for Ralph's amusement?--A dog?
+No. A kitty? No. A parrot? No. I think you will have to give it up. A
+bear! Just the cunningest little bear any one ever saw.
+
+He was just about the size of a tan-terrier, and so full of play, that
+he got himself into all sorts of shapes, and performed all the antics
+imaginable. But the most laughable thing was to see him as a tight-rope
+performer. I am sure he outdid any circus actor who ever travelled.
+
+Ralph thought it jolly to play with a live bear. As one would suppose,
+the bear was a great pet with all on board the tug. He had always been
+handled with kindness; and the captain told us he had never yet bitten
+any one.
+
+All this time, we are nearing the vessels we are to tow back. See what a
+huge cable is thrown out to join the vessels to the tug. Here we go,
+homeward bound.
+
+We must not forget to tell of the nice race we had with the steam barge
+"Reitz," and how Ralph shouted when we came out ahead; nor about Ralph's
+getting hungry, and going down into the cabin, and making friends with
+the cook, and coming up with his pockets full of crackers and cookies,
+which were so much better than any he ever ate before.
+
+Don't you think just as we do, that we had a jolly time? Ralph says he
+should like to live on board the tug; but I think he would want to come
+home every night.
+
+      AUNT NELLIE.

+TIT, TAT, TOE!
+
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+The heavy schoolroom clock strikes loud and slow.
+                 "Now every little one
+                 May go and take his fun,"
+The gentle teacher cries, "for the school is done."
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 All in a row!
+Out through the open door the merry children go,
+                 Leaving only three,
+                 Sad as sad can be,--
+Wretched little culprits with their Spellers, as you see!
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!--
+Billy Bumble, Benny Bell, and little Kitty Coe.
+                 Little Kitty sighs;
+                 Little Benny cries;
+And little Billy Bumble pokes his fingers in his eyes.
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+That's the game they played upon their slate, you know:
+                 The 0's were made by Kate;
+                 The crosses, by her mate;
+While Billy kept the tally at the bottom of the slate.
+
+                 When their class was heard,
+                 They couldn't spell a word:
+They put an "i" in burly, and they put a "u" in bird!
+                 So, according to the rule,
+                 They must study after school,
+Or by and by they'll have to sit upon the dunce's stool.
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+The teacher's pencil taps on the desk broad and low.
+                 "Now come," she says, "and spell;
+                 I'm sure you'll do it well;
+By the brightening of your faces, I readily can tell."
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+Straight to the teacher's desk the willing children go:
+                 They say their lesson o'er,
+                 Not missing as before,
+Then fly away, determined to be idle never more.
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+Is a fascinating pastime the little people know;
+                 But oh! it never pays
+                 To walk in folly's ways;
+For pleasure quickly passes, while pain much longer stays.

+
+THE KEEPER PUNISHED.
+
+
+Elephants, when kindly treated, become very much attached to their
+keepers, and will obey their orders as readily as good children obey
+their parents.
+
+But sometimes the keepers are cruel men, and, instead of managing the
+elephants by kindness, will goad them, and treat them badly.
+
+One day a new keeper was set over an elephant named Tippoo, that had
+been accustomed to good treatment. This new keeper, if he had been wise,
+would have won the elephant's love by kindness.
+
+Instead of that, the man kept thrusting his goad at the elephant, and
+hurting him without any good cause. Tippoo bore it patiently for some
+time; but at last, with his great trunk seizing his tormentor, he ran
+with him down to the river that was near by.
+
+Here, after ducking the man several times in the water, he laid him down
+gently on the dry ground, as much as to say, "Now, sir, behave yourself,
+and treat me like a gentleman, or I will give you a worse ducking than
+that."
+
+Finding that Tippoo was not to be trifled with, the man began to treat
+him well, and the elephant soon forgave him, and at last grew quite fond
+of him. Love wins love.

+      UNCLE CHARLES.

+
+
+
+NEDDY'S SAND-BANK.
+
+
+On lovely summer afternoons, when the sky is blue, and the sea bluer, I
+take my books or work, and go out to sit under a great oak-tree that
+stands at the top of a sand-bank, which slopes gently down to a broad,
+white, beach.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This sand-bank is a wonderful place for the children. Every fine day
+Neddy takes his box of playthings, and marches off to the sand-bank; and
+I think, as I kiss his dear rosy cheeks, what a nice, clean boy he is in
+his linen blouse, broad-brimmed hat with blue ribbons, white stockings,
+and neat buttoned boots. He returns after a few hours, looking like a
+little savage.
+
+"Just fit to go into the wash-tub," Dinah says; and she is right.
+
+What do they play on the sand-bank? I will tell you what they did
+yesterday, while I sat under the oak-tree and worked, and listened to
+their prattle.
+
+"Let's build cities to-day," said Tommy Abbott. "Oh, yes!" said Jamie
+Newton. "I will build Boston," chimed in Neddy: "I don't know much about
+other places." After each had selected a city to build, they were silent
+for some time.
+
+But by and by Neddy looked up, and called to me, "Oh, do come down here,
+mamma, and see my Boston!" So I climbed down the bank to visit his city.
+He had scooped a hole in the sand, lined it with clay, filled it with
+sea-water, and stocked it with his shining tin fish. Of course I knew at
+once this was the pond on Boston Common.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Jamie Newton, who studies geography, and knows all about great cities
+everywhere, made a model Philadelphia, with its long, wide streets.
+Jamie's streets were so clean, and so beautifully shaded with sprigs of
+evergreen, that Mary Whitman said her grandest doll, Arabella Rosetta,
+should take a nice ride through them. So Rosetta was set up in her
+carriage, and one tucked the crimson afghan about her dainty feet, while
+another opened her _very best_ sky-blue parasol, (for Rosetta is
+particular about her complexion), and Mary put on her hat with the blue
+plumes, and pink roses, smoothed down her flounces, and said, "Be a good
+girl, Rosy. Don't stay out after dark, for the dew will spoil your
+clothes."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+By and by it grew late. The sun sank down into the sea; while the moon,
+broad and full, rose from behind the hill; and I said, "Come, Neddy, we
+must run home to tea."
+
+But Tommy Abbott, who had built a most wonderful Chicago, begged for a
+match to burn his city with. So the children gathered a heap of sticks
+and dry leaves; and Tommy set fire to the pile, and up and away flamed
+the beautiful city. Then we all went up to the hotel together, and very
+soon tea was ready; and it was a wonderful thing to see how the children
+disposed of bread and milk, baked sweet apples, and gingerbread.
+
+After we went up to our room, I wrote this story, and read it to Neddy.
+How his eyes sparkled with delight! "It's just as true as I live, every
+word of it," he said as I finished.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"But, mamma, you forgot little Rose Ellsworth's town. She made a real
+hill, and covered it with grass, and dotted it all over with violets;
+and Daisy lent her a cow from her 'Noah's Ark;' and we made it stand up
+under a tree, and, if it had only whisked its tail, it would have looked
+almost alive.
+
+"I think, mamma," he continued, "that Rose is the nicest little girl
+here. I've painted her picture in my album."
+
+So I was not surprised, while looking over Neddy's pictures, to see that
+he had wasted a great deal of paint in trying to display Rose's pink
+cheeks and lovely golden hair: He had painted her cheeks redder than the
+reddest cherries you ever saw.

+
+SURF-BATHING AT CONEY ISLAND.
+
+
+Coney Island, about eight miles from the city of New York, is four and a
+half miles long and about half a mile in width. It is quite a resort in
+summer for those who want to breathe the briny air of the ocean.
+
+Charles and Laura had long been promised a visit to this famous
+bathing-place, and one warm day in June their father drove them down to
+the island; for there is a bridge connecting it with the main land.
+
+As they drove along the beach, they saw the bathers in the water, and
+Charles was very desirous of having a dip in the salt sea himself; but
+he had no bathing-dress, and so he had to give it up.
+
+It is very pleasant on a fine day in summer to stand on the beach, and
+watch the waves as they come foaming up. The children were much
+entertained at seeing a Newfoundland dog rush into the water after a
+stick which his master would throw far out.
+
+They will long remember their pleasant visit to Coney Island; but the
+next time they go, they mean to take their bathing-dresses and have a
+swim.

+
+AN EXCITING SCENE.
+
+
+Early last spring, Mistress Jenny Wren took possession of the little box
+nailed to a tree immediately in front of Mr. Philip's house. She had not
+really moved in, when who should peep in but Mr. English-Sparrow.
+
+He was abroad house hunting, and never mistrusted that any one had got
+this house before him. He was thinking how well it would suit himself
+and mate, when _whir-r-r-r_! _whir-r-r-r_! up came Mrs. Jenny; and
+before he could offer a word of excuse, she began with, "Fie, fie! I
+took you for a gentleman! What business have you here?"
+
+"My dear madam," began Mr. Sparrow; but Jenny would not hear him. "Out,
+out with you, you saucebox, you interloper!" she screamed; and she
+dashed at him and pecked him till he beat a speedy retreat.
+
+The next day, however, he came round again; whether to express his
+regrets in due form, or to buy her off, I cannot say; but Mrs. Jenny was
+unwilling to accept anything but the most humble apology.
+
+One look convinced her that he didn't want her pardon, but her house;
+and out she flew at his very eyes, and on she chased as far as Mr.
+Philip, who was sitting at the window, could see. But Mr. Sparrow was
+seen no more.
+
+I knew Jenny Wren was spirited; but I should hardly have thought that of
+her; should you!
+
+      MR. PERIWINKLE.
+
+
+
+
+"MAKE A PIE."
+
+
+The summer before our Mary was two years old, she and her brother used
+to make pies in the sand, cutting them out with the cover of a little
+tin pail, always using water to mix them, if they could obtain it.
+
+About this time, Bertie was learning,--
+
+    "Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
+    Make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land."
+
+One day, Mary thought she would say it with him, so she began,--
+
+    "Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
+    Make _a pie_."
+
+"Make the mighty ocean, Mary," said her brother.
+
+"No, _make a pie_," said Mary; and she could not be induced to say it
+right till months afterwards.
+
+      MARY'S MAMMA.

+
+A BIG DOG.
+
+
+I am a big dog, and my name is Bouncer. I want to tell you, little boys
+and girls, how I spend my time all the day long. In the morning I am
+always the first one awake: I take a walk around the house, and see if
+every thing is right; then, perhaps, I am let into the house. I look
+from one to another to see if all the family are at home; and I am much
+pleased when somebody has a good word for me, or when I get a pull from
+the baby's hand.
+
+For breakfast, the kitten and I have the leavings from the table; but
+there never is half enough for both of us: so I let her clean out the
+platter, while I run to see my master off. When I get as far as the
+gate, he says, "Go back!" I sit down and watch him till he is out of
+sight.
+
+Then there comes the milkman. I know him well; for he comes every
+morning and fills the can, and I watch it until it is taken in. Perhaps,
+when the door is open, a bone is thrown out to me. I hide it, quickly;
+for I see another dog coming. He is a friend of mine. He comes quite
+often to see me. We take a run around the house, and have a quiet talk
+together; then he takes himself off.
+
+By that time I hear a team coming. I run to see if it is coming to the
+house. It is a man with a load of coal. I lie down and watch him.
+Perhaps I take a nap; but I sleep with one eye open; and if it is warm,
+and the flies trouble me, I have to switch my tail to keep them off.
+
+Toward night, I station myself at the gate to watch for my master. I run
+to meet him. He pats me on the head, and says, "Good Bouncer!" I jump up
+and wag my tail, and try to let him know how glad I am to see him.
+
+I hope you will be pleased with these extracts from the diary of
+
+      BOUNCER.

+THE BUTTERFLY.
+
+
+Again, beside the roadside, blows
+The pink, sweet-scented brier-rose;
+Its purple head the clover raises;
+And all the fields are full of daisies;
+And in the sunshine flutters by
+A little white-winged butterfly.
+
+From flower to flower I watch him go;
+He seems a floating flake of snow:
+Now to a milkweed bloom he's clinging;
+There on a buttercup he's swinging;
+And now he makes a little stop
+Upon a scented thistle-top.
+
+Could we change places, he and I,
+And I should turn a butterfly,
+How gayly, then, I'd hover over
+The elder-flowers and tufts of clover!
+I'd feast on honey all the day,
+With nobody to say me nay.
+
+But, could I only honey eat,
+'Twould grow as tiresome as sweet:
+The pretty flowers would quickly wither;
+And, all day flying hither, thither,
+My wings would ache: I'm glad that I
+Am not that little butterfly.

+THE YOUNG CRITIC.
+
+Ernest is five years old; and for three years he has been a subscriber
+to "The Nursery," the pictures in which he has enjoyed very much.
+
+Last autumn, his parents took him with them to France. In the great
+city of Paris, they had rooms in a boarding-house, where they made
+the acquaintance of a young American painter, who had a studio in
+the building.
+
+Ernest was such a quiet little fellow, and was so fond of pictures, that
+Mr. Norton, the artist, was always glad to see him in his studio; for
+Ernest did not trouble him, but would stand looking at the pictures for
+a quarter of an hour at a time.
+
+One day, as he stood admiring a painting in which some horses were
+represented, he noticed a fault; for Ernest was a judge of horses: he
+was himself the owner of one--made of wood. "Look here, Mr. Norton,"
+said he, "isn't one of the hind-legs of this horse longer than
+the other?"
+
+Mr. Norton left his easel, and came and told Ernest to point out in the
+painting what fault he meant. The little fellow did so; and the painter
+exclaimed, "Why, you little chip of a critic, you are right as sure as
+I'm alive! We must make a painter of you."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Ernest is not quite old enough yet to decide whether he will make a
+painter or a confectioner. The sight of the beautiful candies and cakes
+which he has seen in some of the shops, inclines him to the belief that
+a confectioner's lot is the more enviable one. He thinks it must be a
+charming occupation to make molasses-candy, and be able to eat as much
+as he wants. He must live and learn.

+PLAYING HORSE.
+
+
+Among Ellen's playthings, there is none that pleases her more than the
+bright worsted reins which her aunt bought for her at the May fair.
+
+"Reins!--what does a girl do with reins?" I think I hear somebody ask.
+Why, she plays horse with them, to be sure. She has a brother Charles.
+He is the horse sometimes; and sometimes he is the driver, and Ellen is
+the horse. Either way, it is good fun.
+
+One fine June day, her elder brother, Ned, took part in the play. He
+said there should be a span of horses. He and Charles would be the
+span, and Ellen should drive. "No," said Ellen, "I would rather be one
+of the horses."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+So Nelly and Ned were harnessed together, and Charley took the reins.
+"Get up!" said he, and away they went. As they crossed the lawn, they
+passed a lawn-mower, and the horse Ned shied badly. If he had not had
+such a steady horse as Nell by his side, there might have been an
+accident.
+
+As it was, Charles held him in with a tight rein, and the two horses
+came trotting back to the starting-point at full speed. If Charles had
+had a watch to time them by, I think he would have found that they made
+a mile in less than three minutes.

+JACK.
+
+
+Jack was not a handsome dog. His best friends could not call him a
+beauty; but as he was a very wise, good dog, we were all very fond
+of him.
+
+One afternoon, some of the younger members of the family were sitting on
+the piazza, waiting for papa, who was expected home on the five-o'clock
+train. Jack was lying beside them.
+
+At last, the whistle sounded in the distance; and the little
+four-year-old "flower of the family" said, "Run, Jack, to meet papa at
+the station." Jack looked up, listened intently for a moment, and then
+lay down again with a sigh of disappointment.
+
+"Oh, what a lazy fellow!" said six-year-old Annie. "If mamma would only
+trust us to go to the station, we would not wait, or play sleepy." But
+the train passed on, and papa had not come.
+
+In a little while, another whistle sounded; and this time, without a
+word of command, Jack sprung off the steps, dashed down the street, and
+returned in a few moments, escorting his master.
+
+How did Jack know that the time-table had been changed that day, and a
+freight-train had taken the place of his master's train?
+
+Another time, an uncle, who was visiting the family, had occasion to
+stay in town until the last train. Jack refused to be shut up, and, at
+eleven o'clock at night, went in the dark to the station, and escorted
+our guest up to the house.
+
+How did he know what train to meet? and what instinct impelled him to
+do his part towards keeping up the courtesy of the family?

+A LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
+
+
+Here we are in Santa Cruz, in a hotel right on the beach. We had such a
+lovely stage-ride over the mountains, and enjoyed the mountain air so
+much, that I was almost sorry when we arrived. I wish you could see the
+great madroņa-trees on the mountains with their dark-red wood and
+beautiful green leaves. I do not believe you have any Eastern trees so
+beautiful.
+
+On the top of the Santa Cruz mountains, where we stopped to water the
+horses, there is a little house, and while we waited there, out from the
+house came a man whose face was all scarred and seamed. After we drove
+away, the stage-driver told us that the man was a hunter, known as
+"Mountain Charley," and that his scars were made by a grisly-bear.
+
+Well, we have now been at Santa Cruz a week, and I have had a good time.
+Every morning we go in bathing. It is a funny sight to see everybody
+racing down into the waves, and catching hold of a big rope that is
+stretched from the shore a good distance into the water. The undertow
+here is so strong, that it is not safe to venture away from the rope.
+
+Yesterday we all went to Moore's Beach to have a "clam-bake." We rode in
+a big wagon; and the first thing we did, when we got to the beach, was
+to pull off our shoes and stockings, and wade in the water. Papa and
+Uncle John dug the clams; while the rest of us ran about hunting for
+sea-urchins and shells.
+
+As soon as the clams were boiled, we sat down on the beach, and unpacked
+the lunch-baskets. Oh, how hungry we were! and how good every thing
+tasted.
+
+There was one lady in the party, who sat up high on the rocks, with her
+kid gloves on, and her sunshade over her, while the rest of us were
+running about with bare feet, and skirts tucked up. But at lunch-time
+she came down from her high place, and I saw her eating clams with as
+good a relish as any of us.
+
+Next week we are going to Pescadero, and, perhaps, I will write to you
+again from there.

+
+THE PARROT WHO PLAYED THE MASTER.
+
+A STORY WITH A MORAL.
+
+
+The master of the house had gone out on business. As he shut the door,
+the parrot, whose place was on a perch in the room, thought to himself,
+"Hi! Now I am master in this house, and I'll let people know it."
+
+He thereupon threw his head proudly on one side, and spread himself in
+a very pompous manner; then, as he had seen his master do, broke the
+finest rose from the bush, and put the stem in his bill; then looked at
+his gay-colored coat in the glass, and felt as grand as a born nobleman.
+
+Near by, on the rug, two dogs, Ami and Finette, lay asleep. They were
+well-trained, obedient dogs, clean-limbed and civil, expert in many
+clever tricks, but not quite a match for the parrot in cleverness
+and cunning.
+
+As soon as the latter spied them, he cried out, imitating his master's
+tones, "Finette, attention! Ami, make ready!" Whereupon Ami stood up on
+his hind-legs, straight as a sentinel; while Finette hurried up,
+expecting to have something thrown for him to bring back.
+
+There stood and stood the poor simpletons, steadfastly looking up, while
+Master Poll cried sternly all the while, "Ami, make ready! Finette,
+attention!" Finette became almost wild with eagerness; and poor Ami
+could hardly stand on his hind-legs any longer.
+
+At last the master came home, and put an end to the torture of the
+poor dogs.
+
+The moral of my story is this: whenever a simpleton puts on airs and
+plays the master, there are always other simpletons ready to obey
+his commands.

+CATSKILL-MOUNTAIN HOUSE.
+
+
+My little friend Mabel is passing the summer amid the Catskill
+Mountains. These mountains are in the State of New York, on the west
+side of the Hudson River.
+
+Round Top and High Peak, two of the highest summits, are about
+thirty-eight hundred feet above the level of the sea. They are well
+covered with forests, and in autumn, when the leaves begin to change,
+they make a very brilliant show.
+
+The Catskill-Mountain House is finely situated on a rocky terrace,
+twenty-two hundred feet above the river. It is twelve miles from the
+village of Catskill, and is much resorted to in the summer season.
+
+The prospect from this house is quite extensive. Mabel writes me that
+the view of the sunrise is grand; the air is cool and bracing; and the
+sight of the tops of trees rolling below, like a sea, for miles and
+miles, is a thing to remember.

+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.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+     http://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.

+<h2>EDITOR'S PORTFOLIO.</h2>
+
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The present number begins the
+eighteenth half-yearly volume of "The
+Nursery;" and we are happy to inform
+our friends that the magazine was never
+so successful as it is to-day. Thus far, we
+have entered upon every new volume with
+an increased circulation. We look for a
+still larger increase in the future; for
+there are thousands and thousands of children
+not yet supplied with the work, for
+whom no other magazine can take its
+place. We have something in preparation
+for coming numbers which will make the
+eyes of our little readers sparkle with
+delight. Now is the time for canvassers
+to go to work with a will.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The illustration by Merrill of the
+"Three Little Culprits" who were kept
+after school to study their spelling-lesson,
+is one of those happy touches of nature
+that every one can appreciate. The poem
+by Miss Wadsworth is worthy of the picture.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Children who are trying to learn
+to draw, will be pleased with the beautiful
+subject in our present number. By giving
+half-an-hour a day to drawing now, they
+will acquire a facility and a skill that will
+not only be of service to them, but a great
+pleasure to them, all their lives.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">If parents or teachers would like
+to know of two books by the use of which
+teaching may be made a pleasure instead
+of a task to children, they cannot do better
+than order "The Easy Book" and "The
+Beautiful Book;" the former containing
+pieces in prose, and the latter, pieces in
+verse, and both of them richly and copiously
+illustrated with appropriate pictures.
+These books are published at "The Nursery"
+office by John L. Shorey.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Children who enjoy making paper
+dolls, will find an advertisement at the
+end of this number which is worthy of
+attention.</p>

+
+<p><span class="smcap">unny</span> was a little rabbit, the youngest
+of a large family. His home was in an
+old wood, where the trees were very
+high, and wild-flowers grew in great
+abundance. His mother had given him
+to understand that he must not stray away from her,
+lest he should get lost, and not be able to find her.</p>
+
+<p>But Bunny, like some young children, was self-willed.
+He thought his mother was over-careful; and so, <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span>
+one day, when nobody was watching him, he slipped away
+from her, and sat down amid the grass, under two high
+beech-trees.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">He heard his mother calling him, but took no notice of
+her call. It was a warm summer day, and he fell asleep.
+Soon he was startled by the loud barking of dogs. He woke
+up, and, oh, how frightened he was!</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Luckily for him, the dogs did not come where he lay
+crouching; for their masters were shooting birds, not rabbits.
+Bunny thought the best thing he could do now was
+to scamper back to his mother, his brothers and sisters as
+fast as he could.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">But it was not quite so easy to find them again. No
+sooner had he got into the open path than a troop of boys
+caught sight of him; and at once there was a volley of
+stones from their hands. By rare good luck he was not hit
+by the stones. But he had not gone many paces farther,
+when a man with a gun shot at him. Happily the man
+missed his aim, and the shot went into some bushes.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Having escaped this new danger, Bunny leaped swiftly
+over the high grass, till he came to the fallen trunk of a
+tree. Here he hoped to find his mother; but, ah! there
+was no trace of her to be seen. Night came on; and poor
+Bunny had to lie down all alone and go to sleep.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The next morning it rained heavily; and Bunny crept
+into the hollow trunk of the tree, where he could keep warm
+and dry. But before noon the sun came out beautifully;
+and the little rabbit, being very hungry, ran out.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The first thing he saw was his mother and the rest of the
+family eating their dinner. Oh, how glad he was! His
+mother did not scold him, but gave him plenty to eat; and
+he made up his mind, that he never would run away again
+from so good a mother.</p>

+
+<h2>A TUG EXCURSION.</h2>
+
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">It</span> was just after dinner when papa said, "Put on your
+hats quickly, and we will go down to the dock, and perhaps
+we shall find a tug going out."</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Ralph had something beside his hat to put on; for, contrary
+to mamma's orders, he had taken off his shoes and
+stockings. But, with good Maggie's help, that wrong was
+speedily righted, and we were soon on our way to the dock.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">There we found the stanch tug "Williams" just ready
+to leave. We jumped on board. The ropes were cast off;
+and a few turns of the wheel took us out on the broad
+expanse of Lake Michigan.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">How delighted we all were with the beautiful picture there
+spread out before us!&#8212;the broad blue waters, dotted here
+and there with white sails; far away to the right, the smoke<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span>
+arising from a huge steamer on her way from Chicago to
+Buffalo; and away, away, straight ahead of us, two white
+specks, which Captain Charley told us were the vessels
+he was going out for.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">A look through the glass proved that the "specks" were
+<i>really</i> vessels, and huge ones too. While we were looking
+and talking, what do you suppose one of the men brought
+forward for Ralph's amusement?&#8212;A dog? No. A kitty?
+No. A parrot? No. I think you will have to give it
+up. A bear! Just the cunningest little bear any one ever
+saw.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">He was just about the size of a tan-terrier, and so full of
+play, that he got himself into all sorts of shapes, and performed
+all the antics imaginable. But the most laughable
+thing was to see him as a tight-rope performer. I am sure
+he outdid any circus actor who ever travelled.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Ralph thought it jolly to play with a live bear. As one
+would suppose, the bear was a great pet with all on board
+the tug. He had always been handled with kindness; and
+the captain told us he had never yet bitten any one.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">All this time, we are nearing the vessels we are to tow
+back. See what a huge cable is thrown out to join the
+vessels to the tug. Here we go, homeward bound.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">We must not forget to tell of the nice race we had with
+the steam barge "Reitz," and how Ralph shouted when we
+came out ahead; nor about Ralph's getting hungry, and
+going down into the cabin, and making friends with the
+cook, and coming up with his pockets full of crackers and
+cookies, which were so much better than any he ever ate
+before.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Don't you think just as we do, that we had a jolly time?
+Ralph says he should like to live on board the tug; but I
+think he would want to come home every night.</p>

+

+<span style="margin-left: 9em;">They couldn't spell a word:</span><br />
+They put an "i" in burly, and they put a "u" in bird!<br />
+<span style="margin-left: 9em;">So, according to the rule,</span><br />
+<span style="margin-left: 9em;">They must study after school,</span><br />
+Or by and by they'll have to sit upon the dunce's stool.</p>
+
+<p><span style="margin-left: 9em;">Tit, tat, toe!</span><br />
+<span style="margin-left: 9em;">Three in a row!</span><br />

+
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em"><span class="smcap">Elephants</span>, when kindly treated, become very much
+attached to their keepers, and will obey their orders as
+readily as good children obey their parents.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">But sometimes the keepers are cruel men, and, instead of
+managing the elephants by kindness, will goad them, and
+treat them badly.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">One day a new keeper was set over an elephant named
+Tippoo, that had been accustomed to good treatment. This
+new keeper, if he had been wise, would have won the
+elephant's love by kindness.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Instead of that, the man kept thrusting his goad at
+the elephant, and hurting him without any good cause.
+Tippoo bore it patiently for some time; but at last, with his
+great trunk seizing his tormentor, he ran with him down to
+the river that was near by.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Here, after ducking the man several times in the water,
+he laid him down gently on the dry ground, as much as to
+say, "Now, sir, behave yourself, and treat me like a gentleman,
+or I will give you a worse ducking than that."</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Finding that Tippoo was not to be trifled with, the man
+began to treat him well, and the elephant soon forgave him,
+and at last grew quite fond of him. Love wins love.</p>

+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">On</span> lovely summer afternoons, when the sky is blue, and
+the sea bluer, I take my books or work, and go out to sit
+under a great oak-tree
+that stands at the top
+of a sand-bank, which
+slopes gently down to a
+broad, white, beach.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">This sand-bank is a
+wonderful place for the
+children. Every fine day
+Neddy takes his box of
+playthings, and marches
+off to the sand-bank; and
+I think, as I kiss his dear
+rosy cheeks, what a nice,
+clean boy he is in his
+linen blouse, broad-brimmed
+hat with blue
+ribbons, white stockings,
+and neat buttoned boots.
+He returns after a few hours, looking like a little savage.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">"Just fit to go into the wash-tub," Dinah says; and she is
+right.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">What do they play on the sand-bank? I will tell you
+what they did yesterday, while I sat under the oak-tree and
+worked, and listened to their prattle.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">"Let's build cities to-day," said Tommy Abbott. "Oh,
+yes!" said Jamie Newton. "I will build Boston," chimed
+in Neddy: "I don't know much about other places." After
+each had selected a city to build, they were silent for some
+time.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span>But by and by Neddy looked up, and called to me, "Oh,
+do come down here, mamma, and see my Boston!" So I
+climbed down the bank to visit his city. He had scooped a
+hole in the sand, lined it with clay, filled it with sea-water,
+and stocked it with his shining tin fish. Of course I knew
+at once this was the pond on Boston Common.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/Illus-12.png" title="Neddy's Sand-Bank Picture 2" alt="Neddy's Sand-Bank Picture 2" height="502" width="400" /></div>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Jamie Newton, who studies geography, and knows all
+about great cities everywhere, made a model Philadelphia,
+with its long, wide streets. Jamie's streets were so clean,
+and so beautifully shaded with sprigs of evergreen, that
+Mary Whitman said her grandest doll, Arabella Rosetta,
+should take a nice ride through them. So Rosetta was set<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span>
+up in her carriage, and one tucked the crimson afghan about
+her dainty feet, while another opened her <i>very best</i> sky-blue
+parasol, (for Rosetta is particular about her complexion),
+and Mary put on her hat with the blue plumes, and pink
+roses, smoothed down her flounces, and said, "Be a good
+girl, Rosy. Don't stay out after dark, for the dew will
+spoil your clothes."</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/Illus-13.png" title="Neddy's Sand-Bank Picture 3" alt="Neddy's Sand-Bank Picture 3" height="470" width="400" /></div>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">By and by it grew late. The sun sank down into the
+sea; while the moon, broad and full, rose from behind the
+hill; and I said, "Come, Neddy, we must run home to tea."</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">But Tommy Abbott, who had built a most wonderful
+Chicago, begged for a match to burn his city with. So the
+children gathered a heap of sticks and dry leaves; and
+Tommy set fire to the pile, and up and away flamed the
+beautiful city. Then we all went up to the hotel together,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span>
+and very soon tea was ready; and it was a wonderful thing
+to see how the children disposed of bread and milk, baked
+sweet apples, and gingerbread.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">After we went up to our room, I wrote this story, and
+read it to Neddy. How his eyes sparkled with delight!
+"It's just as true as I live, every word of it," he said as I
+finished.</p>

+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">"But, mamma, you forgot little Rose Ellsworth's town.
+She made a real hill, and covered it with grass, and dotted
+it all over with violets; and Daisy lent her a cow from her
+'Noah's Ark;' and we made it stand up under a tree, and,
+if it had only whisked its tail, it would have looked almost
+alive.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">"I think, mamma," he continued, "that Rose is the nicest
+little girl here. I've painted her picture in my album."<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span></p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">So I was not surprised, while looking over Neddy's pictures,
+to see that he had wasted a great deal of paint in
+trying to display Rose's pink cheeks and lovely golden hair:
+He had painted her cheeks redder than the reddest cherries
+you ever saw.</p>

+<h2>SURF-BATHING AT CONEY ISLAND.</h2>
+
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">Coney Island</span>, about eight miles from the city of New
+York, is four and a half miles long and about half a mile in
+width. It is quite a resort in summer for those who want
+to breathe the briny air of the ocean.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Charles and Laura had long been promised a visit to this
+famous bathing-place, and one warm day in June their father
+drove them down to the island; for there is a bridge connecting
+it with the main land.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">As they drove along the beach, they saw the bathers in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span>
+the water, and Charles was very desirous of having a dip
+in the salt sea himself; but he had no bathing-dress, and so
+he had to give it up.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">It is very pleasant on a fine day in summer to stand on
+the beach, and watch the waves as they come foaming up.
+The children were much entertained at seeing a Newfoundland
+dog rush into the water after a stick which his master
+would throw far out.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">They will long remember their pleasant visit to Coney
+Island; but the next time they go, they mean to take their
+bathing-dresses and have a swim.</p>

+<h2><a name="exciting" id="exciting"></a>AN EXCITING SCENE.</h2>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">Early</span> last spring, Mistress Jenny Wren took possession
+of the little box nailed to a tree immediately in front of Mr.
+Philip's house. She had not really moved in, when who
+should peep in but Mr. English-Sparrow.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">He was abroad house hunting, and never mistrusted that
+any one had got this house before him. He was thinking
+how well it would suit himself and mate, when <i>whir-r-r-r</i>!
+<i>whir-r-r-r!</i> up came Mrs. Jenny; and before he could offer
+a word of excuse, she began with, "Fie, fie! I took you
+for a gentleman! What business have you here?"</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>
+"My dear madam," began Mr. Sparrow; but Jenny
+would not hear him. "Out, out with you, you saucebox,
+you interloper!" she screamed; and she dashed at him
+and pecked him till he beat a speedy retreat.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The next day, however, he came round again; whether
+to express his regrets in due form, or to buy her off, I cannot
+say; but Mrs. Jenny was unwilling to accept anything
+but the most humble apology.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">One look convinced her that he didn't want her pardon,
+but her house; and out she flew at his very eyes, and on
+she chased as far as Mr. Philip, who was sitting at the
+window, could see. But Mr. Sparrow was seen no more.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">I knew Jenny Wren was spirited; but I should hardly
+have thought that of her; should you!</p>

+
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">I am</span> a big dog, and my name is Bouncer. I want to
+tell you, little boys and girls, how I spend my time all the
+day long. In the morning I am always the first one
+awake: I take a walk around the house, and see if every
+thing is right; then, perhaps, I am let into the house. I
+look from one to another to see if all the family are at
+home; and I am much pleased when somebody has a good
+word for me, or when I get a pull from the baby's hand.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">For breakfast, the kitten and I have the leavings from
+the table; but there never is half enough for both of us:
+so I let her clean out the platter, while I run to see my
+master off. When I get as far as the gate, he says, "Go
+back!" I sit down and watch him till he is out of sight.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Then there comes the milkman. I know him well; for he
+comes every morning and fills the can, and I watch it until
+it is taken in. Perhaps, when the door is open, a bone is
+thrown out to me. I hide it, quickly; for I see another dog
+coming. He is a friend of mine. He comes quite often to
+see me. We take a run around the house, and have a
+quiet talk together; then he takes himself off.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">By that time I hear a team coming. I run to see if it is
+coming to the house. It is a man with a load of coal. I lie
+down and watch him. Perhaps I take a nap; but I sleep
+with one eye open; and if it is warm, and the flies trouble
+me, I have to switch my tail to keep them off.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Toward night, I station myself at the gate to watch for
+my master. I run to meet him. He pats me on the head,
+and says, "Good Bouncer!" I jump up and wag my tail,
+and try to let him know how glad I am to see him.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">I hope you will be pleased with these extracts from the
+diary of</p>

+<h2><a name="young" id="young"></a>THE YOUNG CRITIC.</h2>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em"><span class="smcap">Ernest</span> is five years old; and for three years he has been
+a subscriber to "The Nursery," the pictures in which he
+has enjoyed very much.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Last autumn, his parents took him with them to France.
+In the great city of Paris, they had rooms in a boarding-house,
+where they made the acquaintance of a young
+American painter, who had a studio in the building.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Ernest was such a quiet little fellow, and was so fond of
+pictures, that Mr. Norton, the artist, was always glad to see
+him in his studio; for Ernest did not trouble him, but would
+stand looking at the pictures for a quarter of an hour at a
+time.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">One day, as he stood admiring a painting in which some
+horses were represented, he noticed a fault; for Ernest was
+a judge of horses: he was himself the owner of one&#8212;made
+of wood. "Look here, Mr. Norton," said he, "isn't one of
+the hind-legs of this horse longer than the other?"</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Mr. Norton left his easel, and came and told Ernest to
+point out in the painting what fault he meant. The little
+fellow did so; and the painter exclaimed, "Why, you
+little chip of a critic, you are right as sure as I'm alive!
+We must make a painter of you."</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span></p>

+<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/Illus-23.png" title="The Young Critic" alt="The Young Critic" height="756" width="500" /></div>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em">Ernest is not quite old enough yet to decide whether he
+will make a painter or a confectioner. The sight of the
+beautiful candies and cakes which he has seen in some of
+the shops, inclines him to the belief that a confectioner's lot
+is the more enviable one. He thinks it must be a charming
+occupation to make molasses-candy, and be able to eat as
+much as he wants. He must live and learn.</p>

+<h2><a name="playing" id="playing"></a><big>PLAYING HORSE.</big></h2>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">Among</span> Ellen's playthings,
+there is none that pleases her
+more than the bright worsted
+reins which her aunt bought
+for her at the May fair.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">"Reins!&#8212;what does a girl
+do with reins?" I think I hear
+somebody ask. Why, she plays
+horse with them, to be sure.
+She has a brother Charles. He
+is the horse sometimes; and
+sometimes he is the driver, and
+Ellen is the horse. Either way,
+it is good fun.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">One fine June day, her elder
+brother, Ned, took part in the
+play. He said there should be
+a span of horses. He and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[23]</a></span>
+Charles would be the span,
+and Ellen should drive. "No,"
+said Ellen, "I would rather be
+one of the horses."</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter"><img src="images/Illus-25.png" title="Playing Horse" alt="Playing Horse" height="371" width="400" /></div>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">So Nelly and Ned were harnessed
+together, and Charley
+took the reins. "Get up!" said
+he, and away they went. As<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[24]</a></span>
+they crossed the lawn, they
+passed a lawn-mower, and the
+horse Ned shied badly. If he
+had not had such a steady
+horse as Nell by his side, there
+might have been an accident.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">As it was, Charles held him
+in with a tight rein, and the two
+horses came trotting back to
+the starting-point at full speed.
+If Charles had had a watch to
+time them by, I think he would
+have found that they made a
+mile in less than three minutes.</p>

+<h2>JACK.</h2>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">Jack</span> was not a handsome dog. His best friends could
+not call him a beauty; but as he was a very wise, good
+dog, we were all very fond of him.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">One afternoon, some of the younger members of the
+family were sitting on the piazza, waiting for papa, who
+was expected home on the five-o'clock train. Jack was
+lying beside them.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">At last, the whistle sounded in the distance; and the little
+four-year-old "flower of the family" said, "Run, Jack, to
+meet papa at the station." Jack looked up, listened intently
+for a moment, and then lay down again with a sigh
+of disappointment.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">"Oh, what a lazy fellow!" said six-year-old Annie. "If
+mamma would only trust us to go to the station, we would<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[26]</a></span>
+not wait, or play sleepy." But the train passed on, and
+papa had not come.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">In a little while, another whistle sounded; and this time,
+without a word of command, Jack sprung off the steps,
+dashed down the street, and returned in a few moments,
+escorting his master.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">How did Jack know that the time-table had been changed
+that day, and a freight-train had taken the place of his
+master's train?</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Another time, an uncle, who was visiting the family, had
+occasion to stay in town until the last train. Jack refused
+to be shut up, and, at eleven o'clock at night, went in the
+dark to the station, and escorted our guest up to the house.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">How did he know what train to meet? and what instinct
+impelled him to do his part towards keeping up the courtesy
+of the family?</p>

+<h2>A LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.</h2>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">Here</span> we are in Santa Cruz, in a hotel right on the beach.
+We had such a lovely stage-ride over the mountains, and
+enjoyed the mountain air so much, that I was almost sorry
+when we arrived. I wish you could see the great madro&ntilde;a-trees
+on the mountains with their dark-red wood and
+beautiful green leaves. I do not believe you have any
+Eastern trees so beautiful.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">On the top of the Santa Cruz mountains, where we
+stopped to water the horses, there is a little house, and
+while we waited there, out from the house came a man
+whose face was all scarred and seamed. After we drove
+away, the stage-driver told us that the man was a hunter,
+known as "Mountain Charley," and that his scars were
+made by a grisly-bear.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[28]</a></span></p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Well, we have now been at Santa Cruz a week, and I
+have had a good time. Every morning we go in bathing.
+It is a funny sight to see everybody racing down into the
+waves, and catching hold of a big rope that is stretched
+from the shore a good distance into the water. The undertow
+here is so strong, that it is not safe to venture away
+from the rope.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Yesterday we all went to Moore's Beach to have a "clam-bake."
+We rode in a big wagon; and the first thing we did,
+when we got to the beach, was to pull off our shoes and
+stockings, and wade in the water. Papa and Uncle John
+dug the clams; while the rest of us ran about hunting for
+sea-urchins and shells.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">As soon as the clams were boiled, we sat down on the
+beach, and unpacked the lunch-baskets. Oh, how hungry
+we were! and how good every thing tasted.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">There was one lady in the party, who sat up high on the
+rocks, with her kid gloves on, and her sunshade over her,
+while the rest of us were running about with bare feet, and
+skirts tucked up. But at lunch-time she came down from
+her high place, and I saw her eating clams with as good
+a relish as any of us.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Next week we are going to Pescadero, and, perhaps, I
+will write to you again from there.</p>

+<h2>THE PARROT WHO PLAYED THE MASTER.</h2>
+
+<h4>A STORY WITH A MORAL.</h4>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">The</span> master of the house had gone out on business. As
+he shut the door, the parrot, whose place was on a perch in
+the room, thought to himself, "Hi! Now I am master
+in this house, and I'll let people know it."</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[30]</a></span>
+He thereupon threw his head proudly on one side, and
+spread himself in a very pompous manner; then, as he had
+seen his master do, broke the finest rose from the bush, and
+put the stem in his bill; then looked at his gay-colored coat
+in the glass, and felt as grand as a born nobleman.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Near by, on the rug, two dogs, Ami and Finette, lay asleep.
+They were well-trained, obedient dogs, clean-limbed and
+civil, expert in many clever tricks, but not quite a match
+for the parrot in cleverness and cunning.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">As soon as the latter spied them, he cried out, imitating
+his master's tones, "Finette, attention! Ami, make ready!"
+Whereupon Ami stood up on his hind-legs, straight as a
+sentinel; while Finette hurried up, expecting to have something
+thrown for him to bring back.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">There stood and stood the poor simpletons, steadfastly
+looking up, while Master Poll cried sternly all the while,
+"Ami, make ready! Finette, attention!" Finette became
+almost wild with eagerness; and poor Ami could hardly
+stand on his hind-legs any longer.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">At last the master came home, and put an end to the
+torture of the poor dogs.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The moral of my story is this: whenever a simpleton
+puts on airs and plays the master, there are always other
+simpletons ready to obey his commands.</p>

+<h2>CATSKILL-MOUNTAIN HOUSE.</h2>
+
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;"><span class="smcap">My</span> little friend Mabel is passing the summer amid the
+Catskill Mountains. These mountains are in the State of
+New York, on the west side of the Hudson River.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">Round Top and High Peak, two of the highest summits,
+are about thirty-eight hundred feet above the level of the
+sea. They are well covered with forests, and in autumn,
+when the leaves begin to change, they make a very brilliant show.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The Catskill-Mountain House is finely situated on a rocky
+terrace, twenty-two hundred feet above the river. It is
+twelve miles from the village of Catskill, and is much resorted
+to in the summer season.</p>
+
+<p style="text-indent: 2em;">The prospect from this house is quite extensive. Mabel
+writes me that the view of the sunrise is grand; the air is
+cool and bracing; and the sight of the tops of trees rolling
+below, like a sea, for miles and miles, is a thing to remember.</p>

+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the

+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+     http://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.

+EDITOR'S PORTFOLIO.
+
+
+The present number begins the eighteenth half-yearly volume of "The
+Nursery;" and we are happy to inform our friends that the magazine was
+never so successful as it is to-day. Thus far, we have entered upon
+every new volume with an increased circulation. We look for a still
+larger increase in the future; for there are thousands and thousands of
+children not yet supplied with the work, for whom no other magazine can
+take its place. We have something in preparation for coming numbers
+which will make the eyes of our little readers sparkle with delight. Now
+is the time for canvassers to go to work with a will.
+
+The illustration by Merrill of the "Three Little Culprits" who were kept
+after school to study their spelling-lesson, is one of those happy
+touches of nature that every one can appreciate. The poem by Miss
+Wadsworth is worthy of the picture.
+
+Children who are trying to learn to draw, will be pleased with the
+beautiful subject in our present number. By giving half-an-hour a day to
+drawing now, they will acquire a facility and a skill that will not only
+be of service to them, but a great pleasure to them, all their lives.
+
+If parents or teachers would like to know of two books by the use of
+which teaching may be made a pleasure instead of a task to children,
+they cannot do better than order "The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful
+Book;" the former containing pieces in prose, and the latter, pieces in
+verse, and both of them richly and copiously illustrated with
+appropriate pictures. These books are published at "The Nursery" office
+by John L. Shorey.
+
+Children who enjoy making paper dolls, will find an advertisement at the
+end of this number which is worthy of attention.

+
+THE LOST RABBIT.
+
+
+Bunny was a little rabbit, the youngest of a large family. His home
+was in an old wood, where the trees were very high, and wild-flowers
+grew in great abundance. His mother had given him to understand that
+he must not stray away from her, lest he should get lost, and not be
+able to find her.
+
+But Bunny, like some young children, was self-willed. He thought his
+mother was over-careful; and so, one day, when nobody was watching him,
+he slipped away from her, and sat down amid the grass, under two high
+beech-trees.
+
+He heard his mother calling him, but took no notice of her call. It was
+a warm summer day, and he fell asleep. Soon he was startled by the loud
+barking of dogs. He woke up, and, oh, how frightened he was!
+
+Luckily for him, the dogs did not come where he lay crouching; for their
+masters were shooting birds, not rabbits. Bunny thought the best thing
+he could do now was to scamper back to his mother, his brothers and
+sisters as fast as he could.
+
+But it was not quite so easy to find them again. No sooner had he got
+into the open path than a troop of boys caught sight of him; and at once
+there was a volley of stones from their hands. By rare good luck he was
+not hit by the stones. But he had not gone many paces farther, when a
+man with a gun shot at him. Happily the man missed his aim, and the shot
+went into some bushes.
+
+Having escaped this new danger, Bunny leaped swiftly over the high
+grass, till he came to the fallen trunk of a tree. Here he hoped to find
+his mother; but, ah! there was no trace of her to be seen. Night came
+on; and poor Bunny had to lie down all alone and go to sleep.
+
+The next morning it rained heavily; and Bunny crept into the hollow
+trunk of the tree, where he could keep warm and dry. But before noon
+the sun came out beautifully; and the little rabbit, being very hungry,
+ran out.
+
+The first thing he saw was his mother and the rest of the family eating
+their dinner. Oh, how glad he was! His mother did not scold him, but
+gave him plenty to eat; and he made up his mind, that he never would
+run away again from so good a mother.

+
+A TUG EXCURSION.
+
+
+It was just after dinner when papa said, "Put on your hats quickly, and
+we will go down to the dock, and perhaps we shall find a tug going out."
+
+Ralph had something beside his hat to put on; for, contrary to mamma's
+orders, he had taken off his shoes and stockings. But, with good
+Maggie's help, that wrong was speedily righted, and we were soon on our
+way to the dock.
+
+There we found the stanch tug "Williams" just ready to leave. We jumped
+on board. The ropes were cast off; and a few turns of the wheel took us
+out on the broad expanse of Lake Michigan.
+
+How delighted we all were with the beautiful picture there spread out
+before us!--the broad blue waters, dotted here and there with white
+sails; far away to the right, the smoke arising from a huge steamer on
+her way from Chicago to Buffalo; and away, away, straight ahead of us,
+two white specks, which Captain Charley told us were the vessels he was
+going out for.
+
+A look through the glass proved that the "specks" were _really_ vessels,
+and huge ones too. While we were looking and talking, what do you
+suppose one of the men brought forward for Ralph's amusement?--A dog?
+No. A kitty? No. A parrot? No. I think you will have to give it up. A
+bear! Just the cunningest little bear any one ever saw.
+
+He was just about the size of a tan-terrier, and so full of play, that
+he got himself into all sorts of shapes, and performed all the antics
+imaginable. But the most laughable thing was to see him as a tight-rope
+performer. I am sure he outdid any circus actor who ever travelled.
+
+Ralph thought it jolly to play with a live bear. As one would suppose,
+the bear was a great pet with all on board the tug. He had always been
+handled with kindness; and the captain told us he had never yet bitten
+any one.
+
+All this time, we are nearing the vessels we are to tow back. See what a
+huge cable is thrown out to join the vessels to the tug. Here we go,
+homeward bound.
+
+We must not forget to tell of the nice race we had with the steam barge
+"Reitz," and how Ralph shouted when we came out ahead; nor about Ralph's
+getting hungry, and going down into the cabin, and making friends with
+the cook, and coming up with his pockets full of crackers and cookies,
+which were so much better than any he ever ate before.
+
+Don't you think just as we do, that we had a jolly time? Ralph says he
+should like to live on board the tug; but I think he would want to come
+home every night.
+
+      AUNT NELLIE.

+TIT, TAT, TOE!
+
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+The heavy schoolroom clock strikes loud and slow.
+                 "Now every little one
+                 May go and take his fun,"
+The gentle teacher cries, "for the school is done."
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 All in a row!
+Out through the open door the merry children go,
+                 Leaving only three,
+                 Sad as sad can be,--
+Wretched little culprits with their Spellers, as you see!
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!--
+Billy Bumble, Benny Bell, and little Kitty Coe.
+                 Little Kitty sighs;
+                 Little Benny cries;
+And little Billy Bumble pokes his fingers in his eyes.
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+That's the game they played upon their slate, you know:
+                 The 0's were made by Kate;
+                 The crosses, by her mate;
+While Billy kept the tally at the bottom of the slate.
+
+                 When their class was heard,
+                 They couldn't spell a word:
+They put an "i" in burly, and they put a "u" in bird!
+                 So, according to the rule,
+                 They must study after school,
+Or by and by they'll have to sit upon the dunce's stool.
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+The teacher's pencil taps on the desk broad and low.
+                 "Now come," she says, "and spell;
+                 I'm sure you'll do it well;
+By the brightening of your faces, I readily can tell."
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+Straight to the teacher's desk the willing children go:
+                 They say their lesson o'er,
+                 Not missing as before,
+Then fly away, determined to be idle never more.
+
+                 Tit, tat, toe!
+                 Three in a row!
+Is a fascinating pastime the little people know;
+                 But oh! it never pays
+                 To walk in folly's ways;
+For pleasure quickly passes, while pain much longer stays.

+
+
+
+THE KEEPER PUNISHED.
+
+
+Elephants, when kindly treated, become very much attached to their
+keepers, and will obey their orders as readily as good children obey
+their parents.
+
+But sometimes the keepers are cruel men, and, instead of managing the
+elephants by kindness, will goad them, and treat them badly.
+
+One day a new keeper was set over an elephant named Tippoo, that had
+been accustomed to good treatment. This new keeper, if he had been wise,
+would have won the elephant's love by kindness.
+
+Instead of that, the man kept thrusting his goad at the elephant, and
+hurting him without any good cause. Tippoo bore it patiently for some
+time; but at last, with his great trunk seizing his tormentor, he ran
+with him down to the river that was near by.
+
+Here, after ducking the man several times in the water, he laid him down
+gently on the dry ground, as much as to say, "Now, sir, behave yourself,
+and treat me like a gentleman, or I will give you a worse ducking than
+that."
+
+Finding that Tippoo was not to be trifled with, the man began to treat
+him well, and the elephant soon forgave him, and at last grew quite fond
+of him. Love wins love.
+
+      UNCLE CHARLES.

+
+NEDDY'S SAND-BANK.
+
+
+On lovely summer afternoons, when the sky is blue, and the sea bluer, I
+take my books or work, and go out to sit under a great oak-tree that
+stands at the top of a sand-bank, which slopes gently down to a broad,
+white, beach.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This sand-bank is a wonderful place for the children. Every fine day
+Neddy takes his box of playthings, and marches off to the sand-bank; and
+I think, as I kiss his dear rosy cheeks, what a nice, clean boy he is in
+his linen blouse, broad-brimmed hat with blue ribbons, white stockings,
+and neat buttoned boots. He returns after a few hours, looking like a
+little savage.
+
+"Just fit to go into the wash-tub," Dinah says; and she is right.
+
+What do they play on the sand-bank? I will tell you what they did
+yesterday, while I sat under the oak-tree and worked, and listened to
+their prattle.
+
+"Let's build cities to-day," said Tommy Abbott. "Oh, yes!" said Jamie
+Newton. "I will build Boston," chimed in Neddy: "I don't know much about
+other places." After each had selected a city to build, they were silent
+for some time.
+
+But by and by Neddy looked up, and called to me, "Oh, do come down here,
+mamma, and see my Boston!" So I climbed down the bank to visit his city.
+He had scooped a hole in the sand, lined it with clay, filled it with
+sea-water, and stocked it with his shining tin fish. Of course I knew at
+once this was the pond on Boston Common.

+Jamie Newton, who studies geography, and knows all about great cities
+everywhere, made a model Philadelphia, with its long, wide streets.
+Jamie's streets were so clean, and so beautifully shaded with sprigs of
+evergreen, that Mary Whitman said her grandest doll, Arabella Rosetta,
+should take a nice ride through them. So Rosetta was set up in her
+carriage, and one tucked the crimson afghan about her dainty feet, while
+another opened her _very best_ sky-blue parasol, (for Rosetta is
+particular about her complexion), and Mary put on her hat with the blue
+plumes, and pink roses, smoothed down her flounces, and said, "Be a good
+girl, Rosy. Don't stay out after dark, for the dew will spoil your
+clothes."

+
+By and by it grew late. The sun sank down into the sea; while the moon,
+broad and full, rose from behind the hill; and I said, "Come, Neddy, we
+must run home to tea."
+
+But Tommy Abbott, who had built a most wonderful Chicago, begged for a
+match to burn his city with. So the children gathered a heap of sticks
+and dry leaves; and Tommy set fire to the pile, and up and away flamed
+the beautiful city. Then we all went up to the hotel together, and very
+soon tea was ready; and it was a wonderful thing to see how the children
+disposed of bread and milk, baked sweet apples, and gingerbread.
+
+After we went up to our room, I wrote this story, and read it to Neddy.
+How his eyes sparkled with delight! "It's just as true as I live, every
+word of it," he said as I finished.

+"But, mamma, you forgot little Rose Ellsworth's town. She made a real
+hill, and covered it with grass, and dotted it all over with violets;
+and Daisy lent her a cow from her 'Noah's Ark;' and we made it stand up
+under a tree, and, if it had only whisked its tail, it would have looked
+almost alive.
+
+"I think, mamma," he continued, "that Rose is the nicest little girl
+here. I've painted her picture in my album."
+
+So I was not surprised, while looking over Neddy's pictures, to see that
+he had wasted a great deal of paint in trying to display Rose's pink
+cheeks and lovely golden hair: He had painted her cheeks redder than the
+reddest cherries you ever saw.

+SURF-BATHING AT CONEY ISLAND.
+
+
+Coney Island, about eight miles from the city of New York, is four and a
+half miles long and about half a mile in width. It is quite a resort in
+summer for those who want to breathe the briny air of the ocean.
+
+Charles and Laura had long been promised a visit to this famous
+bathing-place, and one warm day in June their father drove them down to
+the island; for there is a bridge connecting it with the main land.
+
+As they drove along the beach, they saw the bathers in the water, and
+Charles was very desirous of having a dip in the salt sea himself; but
+he had no bathing-dress, and so he had to give it up.
+
+It is very pleasant on a fine day in summer to stand on the beach, and
+watch the waves as they come foaming up. The children were much
+entertained at seeing a Newfoundland dog rush into the water after a
+stick which his master would throw far out.
+
+They will long remember their pleasant visit to Coney Island; but the
+next time they go, they mean to take their bathing-dresses and have a
+swim.

+AN EXCITING SCENE.
+
+
+Early last spring, Mistress Jenny Wren took possession of the little box
+nailed to a tree immediately in front of Mr. Philip's house. She had not
+really moved in, when who should peep in but Mr. English-Sparrow.
+
+He was abroad house hunting, and never mistrusted that any one had got
+this house before him. He was thinking how well it would suit himself
+and mate, when _whir-r-r-r_! _whir-r-r-r_! up came Mrs. Jenny; and
+before he could offer a word of excuse, she began with, "Fie, fie! I
+took you for a gentleman! What business have you here?"
+
+"My dear madam," began Mr. Sparrow; but Jenny would not hear him. "Out,
+out with you, you saucebox, you interloper!" she screamed; and she
+dashed at him and pecked him till he beat a speedy retreat.
+
+The next day, however, he came round again; whether to express his
+regrets in due form, or to buy her off, I cannot say; but Mrs. Jenny was
+unwilling to accept anything but the most humble apology.
+
+One look convinced her that he didn't want her pardon, but her house;
+and out she flew at his very eyes, and on she chased as far as Mr.
+Philip, who was sitting at the window, could see. But Mr. Sparrow was
+seen no more.
+
+I knew Jenny Wren was spirited; but I should hardly have thought that of
+her; should you!
+
+      MR. PERIWINKLE.

+
+"MAKE A PIE."
+
+
+The summer before our Mary was two years old, she and her brother used
+to make pies in the sand, cutting them out with the cover of a little
+tin pail, always using water to mix them, if they could obtain it.
+
+About this time, Bertie was learning,--
+
+    "Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
+    Make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land."
+
+One day, Mary thought she would say it with him, so she began,--
+
+    "Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
+    Make _a pie_."
+
+"Make the mighty ocean, Mary," said her brother.
+
+"No, _make a pie_," said Mary; and she could not be induced to say it
+right till months afterwards.

+
+A BIG DOG.
+
+
+I am a big dog, and my name is Bouncer. I want to tell you, little boys
+and girls, how I spend my time all the day long. In the morning I am
+always the first one awake: I take a walk around the house, and see if
+every thing is right; then, perhaps, I am let into the house. I look
+from one to another to see if all the family are at home; and I am much
+pleased when somebody has a good word for me, or when I get a pull from
+the baby's hand.
+
+For breakfast, the kitten and I have the leavings from the table; but
+there never is half enough for both of us: so I let her clean out the
+platter, while I run to see my master off. When I get as far as the
+gate, he says, "Go back!" I sit down and watch him till he is out of
+sight.
+
+Then there comes the milkman. I know him well; for he comes every
+morning and fills the can, and I watch it until it is taken in. Perhaps,
+when the door is open, a bone is thrown out to me. I hide it, quickly;
+for I see another dog coming. He is a friend of mine. He comes quite
+often to see me. We take a run around the house, and have a quiet talk
+together; then he takes himself off.
+
+By that time I hear a team coming. I run to see if it is coming to the
+house. It is a man with a load of coal. I lie down and watch him.
+Perhaps I take a nap; but I sleep with one eye open; and if it is warm,
+and the flies trouble me, I have to switch my tail to keep them off.
+
+Toward night, I station myself at the gate to watch for my master. I run
+to meet him. He pats me on the head, and says, "Good Bouncer!" I jump up
+and wag my tail, and try to let him know how glad I am to see him.
+
+I hope you will be pleased with these extracts from the diary of
+
+      BOUNCER.

+THE BUTTERFLY.
+
+
+Again, beside the roadside, blows
+The pink, sweet-scented brier-rose;
+Its purple head the clover raises;
+And all the fields are full of daisies;
+And in the sunshine flutters by
+A little white-winged butterfly.
+
+From flower to flower I watch him go;
+He seems a floating flake of snow:
+Now to a milkweed bloom he's clinging;
+There on a buttercup he's swinging;
+And now he makes a little stop
+Upon a scented thistle-top.
+
+Could we change places, he and I,
+And I should turn a butterfly,
+How gayly, then, I'd hover over
+The elder-flowers and tufts of clover!
+I'd feast on honey all the day,
+With nobody to say me nay.
+
+But, could I only honey eat,
+'Twould grow as tiresome as sweet:
+The pretty flowers would quickly wither;
+And, all day flying hither, thither,
+My wings would ache: I'm glad that I
+Am not that little butterfly.

+
+THE YOUNG CRITIC.
+
+Ernest is five years old; and for three years he has been a subscriber
+to "The Nursery," the pictures in which he has enjoyed very much.
+
+Last autumn, his parents took him with them to France. In the great
+city of Paris, they had rooms in a boarding-house, where they made
+the acquaintance of a young American painter, who had a studio in
+the building.
+
+Ernest was such a quiet little fellow, and was so fond of pictures, that
+Mr. Norton, the artist, was always glad to see him in his studio; for
+Ernest did not trouble him, but would stand looking at the pictures for
+a quarter of an hour at a time.
+
+One day, as he stood admiring a painting in which some horses were
+represented, he noticed a fault; for Ernest was a judge of horses: he
+was himself the owner of one--made of wood. "Look here, Mr. Norton,"
+said he, "isn't one of the hind-legs of this horse longer than
+the other?"
+
+Mr. Norton left his easel, and came and told Ernest to point out in the
+painting what fault he meant. The little fellow did so; and the painter
+exclaimed, "Why, you little chip of a critic, you are right as sure as
+I'm alive! We must make a painter of you."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Ernest is not quite old enough yet to decide whether he will make a
+painter or a confectioner. The sight of the beautiful candies and cakes
+which he has seen in some of the shops, inclines him to the belief that
+a confectioner's lot is the more enviable one. He thinks it must be a
+charming occupation to make molasses-candy, and be able to eat as much
+as he wants. He must live and learn.

+
+PLAYING HORSE.
+
+
+Among Ellen's playthings, there is none that pleases her more than the
+bright worsted reins which her aunt bought for her at the May fair.
+
+"Reins!--what does a girl do with reins?" I think I hear somebody ask.
+Why, she plays horse with them, to be sure. She has a brother Charles.
+He is the horse sometimes; and sometimes he is the driver, and Ellen is
+the horse. Either way, it is good fun.
+
+One fine June day, her elder brother, Ned, took part in the play. He
+said there should be a span of horses. He and Charles would be the
+span, and Ellen should drive. "No," said Ellen, "I would rather be one
+of the horses."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+So Nelly and Ned were harnessed together, and Charley took the reins.
+"Get up!" said he, and away they went. As they crossed the lawn, they
+passed a lawn-mower, and the horse Ned shied badly. If he had not had
+such a steady horse as Nell by his side, there might have been an
+accident.
+
+As it was, Charles held him in with a tight rein, and the two horses
+came trotting back to the starting-point at full speed. If Charles had
+had a watch to time them by, I think he would have found that they made
+a mile in less than three minutes.

+
+JACK.
+
+
+Jack was not a handsome dog. His best friends could not call him a
+beauty; but as he was a very wise, good dog, we were all very fond
+of him.
+
+One afternoon, some of the younger members of the family were sitting on
+the piazza, waiting for papa, who was expected home on the five-o'clock
+train. Jack was lying beside them.
+
+At last, the whistle sounded in the distance; and the little
+four-year-old "flower of the family" said, "Run, Jack, to meet papa at
+the station." Jack looked up, listened intently for a moment, and then
+lay down again with a sigh of disappointment.
+
+"Oh, what a lazy fellow!" said six-year-old Annie. "If mamma would only
+trust us to go to the station, we would not wait, or play sleepy." But
+the train passed on, and papa had not come.
+
+In a little while, another whistle sounded; and this time, without a
+word of command, Jack sprung off the steps, dashed down the street, and
+returned in a few moments, escorting his master.
+
+How did Jack know that the time-table had been changed that day, and a
+freight-train had taken the place of his master's train?
+
+Another time, an uncle, who was visiting the family, had occasion to
+stay in town until the last train. Jack refused to be shut up, and, at
+eleven o'clock at night, went in the dark to the station, and escorted
+our guest up to the house.
+
+How did he know what train to meet? and what instinct impelled him to
+do his part towards keeping up the courtesy of the family?

+A LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
+
+
+Here we are in Santa Cruz, in a hotel right on the beach. We had such a
+lovely stage-ride over the mountains, and enjoyed the mountain air so
+much, that I was almost sorry when we arrived. I wish you could see the
+great madrona-trees on the mountains with their dark-red wood and
+beautiful green leaves. I do not believe you have any Eastern trees so
+beautiful.
+
+On the top of the Santa Cruz mountains, where we stopped to water the
+horses, there is a little house, and while we waited there, out from the
+house came a man whose face was all scarred and seamed. After we drove
+away, the stage-driver told us that the man was a hunter, known as
+"Mountain Charley," and that his scars were made by a grisly-bear.
+
+Well, we have now been at Santa Cruz a week, and I have had a good time.
+Every morning we go in bathing. It is a funny sight to see everybody
+racing down into the waves, and catching hold of a big rope that is
+stretched from the shore a good distance into the water. The undertow
+here is so strong, that it is not safe to venture away from the rope.
+
+Yesterday we all went to Moore's Beach to have a "clam-bake." We rode in
+a big wagon; and the first thing we did, when we got to the beach, was
+to pull off our shoes and stockings, and wade in the water. Papa and
+Uncle John dug the clams; while the rest of us ran about hunting for
+sea-urchins and shells.
+
+As soon as the clams were boiled, we sat down on the beach, and unpacked
+the lunch-baskets. Oh, how hungry we were! and how good every thing
+tasted.
+
+There was one lady in the party, who sat up high on the rocks, with her
+kid gloves on, and her sunshade over her, while the rest of us were
+running about with bare feet, and skirts tucked up. But at lunch-time
+she came down from her high place, and I saw her eating clams with as
+good a relish as any of us.
+
+Next week we are going to Pescadero, and, perhaps, I will write to you
+again from there.

+
+THE PARROT WHO PLAYED THE MASTER.
+
+A STORY WITH A MORAL.
+
+
+The master of the house had gone out on business. As he shut the door,
+the parrot, whose place was on a perch in the room, thought to himself,
+"Hi! Now I am master in this house, and I'll let people know it."
+
+He thereupon threw his head proudly on one side, and spread himself in
+a very pompous manner; then, as he had seen his master do, broke the
+finest rose from the bush, and put the stem in his bill; then looked at
+his gay-colored coat in the glass, and felt as grand as a born nobleman.
+
+Near by, on the rug, two dogs, Ami and Finette, lay asleep. They were
+well-trained, obedient dogs, clean-limbed and civil, expert in many
+clever tricks, but not quite a match for the parrot in cleverness
+and cunning.
+
+As soon as the latter spied them, he cried out, imitating his master's
+tones, "Finette, attention! Ami, make ready!" Whereupon Ami stood up on
+his hind-legs, straight as a sentinel; while Finette hurried up,
+expecting to have something thrown for him to bring back.
+
+There stood and stood the poor simpletons, steadfastly looking up, while
+Master Poll cried sternly all the while, "Ami, make ready! Finette,
+attention!" Finette became almost wild with eagerness; and poor Ami
+could hardly stand on his hind-legs any longer.
+
+At last the master came home, and put an end to the torture of the
+poor dogs.
+
+The moral of my story is this: whenever a simpleton puts on airs and
+plays the master, there are always other simpletons ready to obey
+his commands.

+CATSKILL-MOUNTAIN HOUSE.
+
+
+My little friend Mabel is passing the summer amid the Catskill
+Mountains. These mountains are in the State of New York, on the west
+side of the Hudson River.
+
+Round Top and High Peak, two of the highest summits, are about
+thirty-eight hundred feet above the level of the sea. They are well
+covered with forests, and in autumn, when the leaves begin to change,
+they make a very brilliant show.
+
+The Catskill-Mountain House is finely situated on a rocky terrace,
+twenty-two hundred feet above the river. It is twelve miles from the
+village of Catskill, and is much resorted to in the summer season.
+
+The prospect from this house is quite extensive. Mabel writes me that
+the view of the sunrise is grand; the air is cool and bracing; and the
+sight of the tops of trees rolling below, like a sea, for miles and
+miles, is a thing to remember.

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.

+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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 http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:

+
+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.
