He was a very +great favorite of his uncle Brown, his mother's brother, who was a +wealthy merchant in the city. He was also a favorite of another brother +of his mother, who<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span> had been, for many years a sea captain, sailing to +all parts of the world. So, you see, our Charley, with a kind father and +mother, and two such uncles, was very well provided for.</p> + +<p>Charley was a lively, inquiring boy, who liked to find out all he could +about the animals he saw, whether they flew through the air, or swam +through the water, or walked on the ground, or crawled in the dirt.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> +<img src="images/i-008.jpg" width="600" height="449" alt="MR. BROWN AND CHARLEY." title="" /> +<span class="caption">MR. BROWN AND CHARLEY.</span> +</div> + + +<p>Luckily for our Charley, his uncle Brown had had, from boyhood, the same +taste for Natural History, which our little friend was beginning<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> to +have, and you can imagine how pleased his uncle was to see this taste in +his little nephew. Our sea captain was pleased also, and so<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> was his +father, and all three of them together, determined that our little boy +should have the opportunity and the means to cultivate his taste.</p> + +<p>So, as Mr. Carter had a big attic to his house, with two good sized +windows fronting the south, he got a carpenter and had a nice room made +for Charley, that should be his own Museum. Don't you think our Charley +was pleased, that his father was so kind to him? When the room was all +finished, uncle Brown, who had, for a long time, a bit of a Museum in +his own house, in the city, brought out, one<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span> day, a lot of shells to +begin our Charley's Museum, with. And now I must try to tell something +about these shells, and the creatures who used to have their homes in +them. (But first I must tell you one thing, if you hav'nt guessed it +already, that as soon as Charley began to lisp his words, his kind +mother took him in her lap and taught him to repeat the Lord's Prayer, +and, I can tell you, Charley, as he grew older, never went to sleep at +night, until he had addressed this prayer to the great, good Being, who +made and takes care of all of us. Remember this,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> boys, for it is of +more consequence than shells, or animals, or anything else.)</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/i-011.jpg" width="300" height="229" alt="MONEY-COWRY." title="" /> +<span class="caption">MONEY-COWRY.</span> +</div> + + +<p>The first shell that Uncle Brown gave to Charley, was what is called a +"money-cowry." It is an elegant shaped and beautifully marked shell and +takes its name from the fact, that one species of them is used as money, +both in Bengal and Guinea,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span> two places at a vast distance from each +other. The value of these shells is small, in comparison with that of +gold and silver, three thousand two hundred cowries amounting to a +rupee, which equals fifty cents of our coin.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/i-013.jpg" width="300" height="240" alt="ROYAL STAIRCASE WENTLETRAP." title="" /> +<span class="caption">ROYAL STAIRCASE WENTLETRAP.</span> +</div> + +<p>Next came a shell that Charley thought had a very funny name, "the Royal +Staircase Wentle-trap." However, it was a very handsome shell, that +uncle sea captain brought to uncle Brown from the far off Chinese and +Indian seas, where the animals live. In old times this shell was prized +so highly, that one,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span> two inches long, sold for five hundred dollars. +And, even now, a fine specimen brings from thirty to thirty-five +dollars. This shell Mr. Brown said, belongs to the class Turbo or +Turbinidæ. The fisherman call all of this class, whelks.</p> + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 350px;"> +<img src="images/i-014.jpg" width="350" height="234" alt="COMMON WHELK." title="" /> +<span class="caption">COMMON WHELK.</span> +</div> + +<p>After this, came another rather queer-named shell, the animal that lived +in it, being called the "Com<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span>mon Whelk," and belonging to a class of +creatures entitled Buccinidae, from the Latin name for <i>trumpet</i>, +because they were thought to look like a trumpet. These animals are very +plentiful all along the British coasts, and are sold like oysters, in +the London markets, besides being exported abroad for food.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span> They have a +sort of proboscis, all full of sharp teeth, with which they bore through +the shells of other mussels and eat up the creatures inside.</p> + +<p>"Persons who collect shells and form cabinets of them for their +amusement," said Mr. Brown, "are not naturalists. They care nothing +about the animal which lived in the shell, when it was in the sea. All +they wish for, is to have a pretty and complete collection, containing +as many different kinds and as rare shells as possible."</p> + +<p>"I should like to have a pretty collection," said Charley.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/i-016.jpg" width="500" height="335" alt="MIDAS'S EAR." title="" /> +<span class="caption">MIDAS'S EAR.</span> +</div> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span></p> + +<p>"So you will," said Mr. Brown, "but I hope you will learn as much as you +can of the natural history of the animals, to whom the shells wore once +attached."</p> + +<p>"I will try," said Charley.</p> + +<p>"Now here is one," said Mr. Brown taking the shell from his pocket, +"called the Bulla Ampulla." Observe it.</p> + +<p>It is shaped much like an egg, though somewhat round, and is beautifully +spotted with white, plum-color and reddish. It is said to exist in both +the Indian and American Oceans. What you see<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> here is only the empty +shell or covering of the animal.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/i-018.jpg" width="500" height="280" alt="BULLA VELUM. (TWO VIEWS.)" title="" /> +<span class="caption">BULLA VELUM. (TWO VIEWS.)</span> +</div> + +<p>It once contained a living animal, and the shell was formed by the +hardening of the soft material of its body. It grew just as your hard +finger nails grow. Here is another Bulla. This is the Bulla Velum.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> You +see its general shape is much like the other; but the markings are +different.</p> + +<p>"How beautiful it is!" said Charley. "Dear uncle, I can never repay you +for your kindness in giving me such elegant things as these. And some of +them are very costly too."</p> + +<p>"They cost me nothing," said Mr. Brown. "They were brought and presented +to me by sea captains, and supercargoes in my service. Even that +Wentle-trap was a sea captain's gift; and when I told its real value, he +insisted the more on my keeping it But most of the shells are<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span> +cheap.—But that is of no consequence.</p> + +<p>"I will tell you, Charley," continued Mr. Brown, "how you can repay and +gratify me. It is by industry and good conduct.</p> + +<p>"I wish you to grow up to a first-rate man, you must begin by being a +first rate boy. When I am out here, and happen to remember any thing +that has, in any way, done me good in my life time, I will tell it to +you, if you will promise to try to keep it in mind and to act upon it. +Will you promise?"</p> + +<p>"Oh yes, uncle, I will promise to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span> try to remember and do what you tell +me."</p> + +<p>"Well, then, I'll tell you one thing now, that happened when I was a +school-boy, two or three years younger than you are even now. Our Master +was a very good teacher and a very good man, and he liked to have his +scholars go on learning and improving out of school, as well as in, and +to behave well also. So he told all the boys and girls, except the +little ones, to do, every week, two things, and let him see, each +Monday, which had done them best.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span></p> + +<p>"One of these was to keep a diary. Do you know, Charley, what a Diary +is?"</p> + +<p>"I believe, uncle, I have seen the word somewhere, but I do not know +what it means."</p> + +<p>"Well, the Master meant this, that each scholar should have a blank +book, and every evening should write down what they had seen and heard, +and done and thought and felt during the day, at least as much as they +could remember, that was of any consequence. He said, that by doing this +carefully, they would improve the memory, and also learn<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span> to express +their thoughts well, either by writing or in speaking.</p> + +<p>"So we did what he told us as well as we could, and used to carry what +we had put down, through the week, for the master to examine, on Monday +morning. Some of the scholars didn't write much or write it very well, +but, I am pretty sure even that little was a benefit to them. I know, +that it did me a great deal of good, which I found the advantage of, all +my life. The President, John Quincy Adams, kept one of these Diaries, +from the time he was a boy, till he died, over eighty years<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> old, and +you have read what a wise and good man he was. Now I want you, Charley, +to begin now and keep a Diary. Will you?"</p> + +<p>"As I told you before, uncle, I'll try."</p> + +<p>"Well, my dear boy, if you will try in real earnest, you will do well +enough, I am very sure. And, to help you start, I will bring you out the +very first pages I wrote, when I was only ten years old."</p> + +<p>"Do, uncle, I shall be very glad to read what you wrote, when you were a +little boy."</p> + +<p>"Well, Charley, I told you there<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span> was one more thing the master told us +to do, out of school. This was, when we went to church, on Sunday, to +listen very carefully to the minister's sermons, and when we got home, +to put down the text and all the rest we could remember, and bring to +him, on Monday morning, to be examined. He said this would improve us in +the same ways, as keeping diaries would. We obeyed him, and some of the +scholars became so skilful, that they could remember and write down more +than half of both sermons. I think I have some of my notes, still left,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span> +and if so I'll let you see them. Perhaps they will help you to make a +beginning in this too. Now, Charley, I want you to try this, as well, as +the other. Will you, for the sake of pleasing uncle Brown?"</p> + +<p>"As sure, as I live, uncle, I will, and I'll begin the very next Sunday, +and see what I can do; and if I don't make out very well at first, I'll +keep trying till I can do better."</p> + +<p>"Thank you, my boy. And now I won't tell you but one more of these +things, at present, but leave them till other occasions. You don't know +one of the strongest reasons,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span> why I wish you to have a Museum, and to +get a knowledge of natural history."</p> + +<p>"What is the reason, uncle? Won't you tell me?"</p> + +<p>"It is, Charley, to prevent you, at least while you are so young, from +forming the habit of reading the kinds of novels and stories, which are +so plentiful now-a-days. I mean those, which are filled with all sorts +of wild, horrible things. Reading such books would be very likely to +make your mind sick, as taking poison would your body, and then you +would'nt like to study or to read<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span> at all, books that would make you +wise and good. Why, sometimes such stories drive people actually crazy."</p> + +<p>"I'll tell you something, that happened to me once, when I was quite a +small boy, that made me almost crazy, for a while, and it is a wonder, +that it didn't make me quite so.</p> + +<p>"I heard a story told, one day, which of course was the same thing as +reading it. This story was, that a traveller, being once on a journey +through a wild country, full of woods and rocks, came by a large cave, +in the side of a hill and partly under<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span> ground, and for some reason went +into it. He found there a horrible looking creature, a woman, as tall as +a giant, down to the waist, and the lower part of her a long, +monstrously large snake.</p> + +<p>"I felt quite frightened, when I heard the story, and all the rest of +the day, I couldn't help thinking uneasily of that gigantic woman snake. +I was more frightened than ever, when the time came for me to go to bed +at night. I slept then in the attic and used to go to bed without a +light, for I had never been afraid of the dark. I went pretty<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span> slowly, I +tell you, till I got to the attic door, and there I stopped awhile, +afraid to open it for fear of seeing something horrid. But my father +called to me to go to bed instantly. I opened the door, and there I saw +the woman snake, part reaching into the dark above. I saw her as +plainly, as I see you now, and was terrified almost out of my senses.</p> + +<p>"But my father called to me again, and I shut my eyes and rushed up +stairs. Of course I didn't hit any thing for there was no such creature +there. It was my fright at hearing<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</a></span> the story, that made me see what +didn't exist.</p> + +<p>"Now, Charley, do you think you had better read books, that can have +such an effect as that?"</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 550px;"> +<img src="images/i-031.jpg" width="550" height="345" alt="" title="chapter endpiece" /> +</div> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="CURIOUS_BIRDS" id="CURIOUS_BIRDS"></a>CURIOUS BIRDS</h2> + + +<p>Uncle Brown had in his Museum, a great many Birds, as well as shells.

Their feet are small and +slender, but having long claws, and, in consequence they seldom alight +upon the ground, but perch easily on branches, from which also they +generally suspend themselves when sleeping, with their heads downwards. +Their tail is broad. Their nests, about an inch in diameter, and as much +in breadth, are very compactly formed, the outer coat of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[Pg 49]</a></span> grey lichen, +and lined with the fine down plucked from the stalks of the fern and +other herbs, and are fixed to the side of a branch or the moss-grown +side of a tree so artificially, that they appear, when viewed from +below, mere mossy knots, or accidental protuberances. They are bold and +pugnacious, two males seldom meeting on the same bush or flower without +a battle; and the intrepidity of the female, when defending her young, +is not less remarkable. They attack the eyes of the larger birds, when +their needle-like bill is truly a formidable weapon; and it<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</a></span> is +affirmed, that if they perceive a man climbing the tree where their +nests are, they fly at his face, and strike him also in the eyes. Most +of the species lay only two eggs, and some of them only one. They have +been tamed—a female, with her nest and eggs, brought from Jamaica to +England, was fed with honey and water on the passage, and the young +ones, when hatched, readily took honey from the lips of the lady to whom +they were presented, and one, at least, survived two months after their +arrival.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[Pg 51]</a></span></p> + + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="HOW_CHARLEY_ARRANGED_HIS_MUSEUM" id="HOW_CHARLEY_ARRANGED_HIS_MUSEUM"></a>HOW CHARLEY ARRANGED HIS MUSEUM.</h2> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 550px;"> +<img src="images/i-052.jpg" width="550" height="416" alt="" title="HOW CHARLEY ARRANGED HIS MUSEUM." /> +</div> + +<p>After uncle Brown had gone home, Charley determined he would begin to be +industrious at once.

Mr. Sturgis, of Boston, was +formerly engaged in trading with the natives on the north west-coast of +America, for furs.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span></p> + +<p>The natives had no currency. But the skin of the Ermine, found in +limited numbers upon the northern part of the continent, was held in +such universal estimation, and of such uniform value, among many tribes, +that it in a measure supplied the place of currency. The skin of this +little slender animal is from eight to twelve inches in length, +perfectly white, except the tip of the tail, which is jet black.</p> + +<p>Urged by some Indian friends, in 1802, Mr. Sturgis obtained and sent +home a fine specimen, with a request that a quantity should be<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_61" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span> ordered +at the annual Leipsic fair, where he supposed they might be obtained. +About five thousand were procured, which he took out with him on the +next voyage, and arrived at Kigarnee, one of the principal trading +places on the coast, early in 1804. Having previously encouraged the +Indians to expect them, the first question was, if he had "clicks," (the +Indian name for the Ermine skin) for sale, and being answered in the +affirmative, great earnestness was manifested to obtain them, and it was +on that occasion that he purchased five hun<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span>dred and sixty prime +sea-otter skins, at that time worth fifty dollars a piece at Canton, in +a single fore-noon, giving for each five ermine skins, that cost less +than thirty cents each in Boston. He succeeded in disposing of all his +ermines at the same rate, before others carried them out—but in less +than two years from that time, one hundred of them would not bring a +sea-otter skin.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 550px;"> +<img src="images/i-064.jpg" width="550" height="435" alt="PINE MARTEN." title="" /> +<span class="caption">PINE MARTEN.</span> +</div> + +<p>And here is a Pine Marten, which, as you see, has also very beautiful +fur, which brings a high price. Notice what a long, slender body,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span> short +muzzle, and sharp teeth it has. It is a great robber, and kills rabbits, +birds, chickens, and young ducks in great numbers, creeping slyly up to +them, darting at them, and piercing their necks with its sharp teeth. It +is found almost all<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> over the world. Here is a story about the Marten +which I have copied from a book.</p> + +<p>There is another strong instinct which the Marten evinces even when +tamed. It has an implacable hostility to cats, and lets slip no +opportunity of springing upon them and giving them a mortal wound. In +the forests, diminutive as it is in comparison, it battles stoutly with +the wild cat; and we shall venture to quote from "The British +Naturalist" an account of one of these battles, as from an eye witness. +"In the year 1805, a gentleman, on<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span> whose veracity we can depend, +witnessed one of those combats in the Morven district of Argyleshire. In +crossing the mountains from Loch Sunart southward, he passed along the +bank of a very deep wooded dell, the hollow of which, though it +occasionally showed green patches through trees and coppice, was one +hundred and fifty or two hundred feet from the top. The dell is of +difficult access, and contains nothing that would compensate the labor, +and thus it is abandoned to wild animals, and, among others, to the +Marten, which, though the skin<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[Pg 66]</a></span> fetches a high price, is not so much +hunted there as in more open places; because, though they might succeed +in shooting it from the heights above, they could not be sure of +removing the body. Thus it is left to contend with the mountain cat for +the sovereignty of this particular dell, and both are safe, except when +they approach the farm-house at the bottom of the hill. The contest then +lasted for more than a half an hour, and both combatants, were too +intent on each other's destruction to shun or fear observation. At last, +however, the Marten succeeded<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</a></span> in falling upon the right side of the +cat's neck, and jerking his long body over her, so as to be out of the +reach of her claws; when, after a good deal of squeaking and struggling, +by which the enemy could not be shaken off, the martial achievements of +puss were ended in the field of glory."</p> + +<p>Next comes a Ruffed Lemur, as it is called from the half-circle of white +hair, which you see on each side of its face.

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 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/23742-h/images/i-003.jpg b/23742-h/images/i-003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644
