Some of them were +cousins to one another; and some were brothers +and sisters. This grandmother lived in an old, +old cottage not far from the sea-beach. The +cottage had a long sloping roof; and there was an elm-tree +in front of it.</div> + +<p>One fair day in June, the boys went down to the sea-beach +to bathe, and the girls went out on the lawn to play. Some +of them thought they would play "hunt the slipper."</p> + +<p>But little Emma Darton, who was a cousin to the rest, +said, "I promised my mother I would not sit down on the +grass: so, if you play 'hunt the slipper,' I must not play +with you; for in that game you have to sit."</p> + +<p>Then her Cousin Julia replied, "Nonsense, Emma! It +is a bright warm day. Don't you see the grass is quite dry? +Come, you must not act and talk like an old woman of sixty. +Come and join in our game."</p> + +<p>But Emma said, "When I make a promise, I always try +to keep it. If to do that is to be like an old woman of +sixty, then I am glad I am like one."</p> + +<p>"You are the oldest-talking little witch I ever knew for +a five-year-old," cried Julia. "If you don't look out, you'll +not live half your days."</p> + +<p>"I think Emma is right," said Marian, another cousin. +"So, if you insist on sitting on the grass, Emma and I will +go and sit by ourselves on the trunk of the old fallen tree."</p> + +<p>But Julia insisted on having her game of "hunt the +slipper;" and Emma and Marian went and sat down on the +fallen trunk, and looked on while the rest played.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_163" id="Page_163">[163]</a></span></p> + +<p>The next day five of grandmother's little visitors did not +seem to be well. Some were coughing, and some were +sneezing, and some were complaining of pains in their +limbs.</p> + +<p>"Why, what is the matter with you, children?" said the +old lady. "If I did not know you were sensible little girls, +I should say you had been sitting on the damp grass,—all +of you but Emma and Marian."</p> + +<p>The cousins looked at one another; but no one spoke +aloud. Then Marian whispered to Emma, "Are you not +glad you kept your promise to your mother?"</p> + +<p>Emma looked up and smiled, but did not say a word.</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Dora Burnside.</span><br /> +</div> + + + +<div><br /><br /></div><div class="figcenter" style="width: 141px;"><img src="images/divider.png" width="141" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /></div><div><br /><br /></div> +<h2>THE FLYING WOOD-SAWYER.</h2> + + +<p><span class="smcap">One</span> day last winter I was cutting maple-logs in the woods +with a cross-cut saw. It was about five feet long, and had a +handle at each end, so as to be used by two persons together. +My brother generally helped me; but, for some reason, he +was not with me then, and I was at work all by myself in a +rather lonesome place.</p> + +<p>I had finished eating my dinner, set my pail under a +clump of trees, and commenced my afternoon job; but, as +the log was large and hard, I often had to stop and rest a +minute. While I was standing still, with my hands upon one +handle of the saw, all at once a bird came flying down +towards me; and, after resting upon the ground behind the +log a few moments, what do you suppose he did?</p> + +<p>Whether he knew I was tired, and thought it was too hard +for me to cut the wood all alone, I cannot say; but suddenly +he gave a little spring, and seated himself right on the other<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_164" id="Page_164">[164]</a></span> +handle of my saw, as you see in the picture, grasping it +with all the hands he had, and looking as though he had +come on purpose to help me saw that log through.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 277px;"> +<img src="images/illus164.png" width="277" height="209" alt="The Wood-Sawyer and the Bird" title="The Wood-Sawyer and the Bird" /> +</div> + +<p>For my part, I rather think he did help me; for, while he +kept his hold upon the other end of the saw, I <i>rested</i> faster +than I ever did before. I stood as motionless as a statue; +for I feared that any movement would scare the bird away.</p> + +<p>How soon I should have got through my sawing with his +help, I cannot tell. But suddenly he seemed to think of +something more important; and away he went, like a streak +of sunshine, off into the woods beyond me.</p> + +<p>I have never seen my sawyer-bird since then. I call him +my "sawyer-bird" because I don't know how else to name +him. He was a strange bird to me: but he seemed like a +good friend; and I shall always remember him as he looked +when trying to help me work that winter's day.</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Uncle William.</span><br /> +</div> + + + + + +<div><br /><br /></div><div class="figcenter" style="width: 141px;"><img src="images/divider.png" width="141" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /></div><div><br /><br /></div> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_165" id="Page_165">[165]</a></span></p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/illus165.png" width="300" height="391" alt="The Blind Old Man and His Granddaughter" title="The Blind Old Man and His Granddaughter" /> +</div> +<h2>THE OLD BLIND MAN AND HIS GRANDDAUGHTER.</h2> + + +<div class='poem'> +<span class="smcap">Silver-white</span> his locks are straying<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">As upon the bench he sits,</span><br /> +While his little grandchild, playing,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Round about him sings and flits.</span><br /> +<br /> +Calmly there, and unrepining,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Waits he—he is old and blind;</span><br /> +But the sun is brightly shining,<br /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_166" id="Page_166">[166]</a></span><span style="margin-left: 1em;">And the soft spring airs are kind.</span><br /> +<br /> +"Ah! if he could once, once only,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">See the splendor of the vale!</span><br /> +He, so old and weak and lonely,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">See the trees wave in the gale!"</span><br /> +<br /> +Then his little daughter, pressing<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Up against the old man's knee,</span><br /> +With her childish, soft caressing,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Filled his heart with boyish glee.</span><br /> +<br /> +Through her eyes once more beholding<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">All the glories of the spring,</span><br /> +Now his youth once more unfolding,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Hope and joy and beauty bring.</span><br /> +</div> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">From the German.</span><br /> +</div> + + + +<div><br /><br /></div><div class="figcenter" style="width: 141px;"><img src="images/divider.png" width="141" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /></div><div><br /><br /></div> +<h2>PAPA'S STORY.</h2> + + +<p>"<span class="smcap">Now</span>, papa, for another army story," said little Eddie, +as he climbed into papa's lap, and prepared himself to listen.</p> + +<p>Papa closed his eyes, stroked his whiskers; and Eddie +knew the story was coming.

How he did run when he saw us! We ran after him, +and chased him into a pile of rails, in one corner of the camp.</p> + +<p>You see, the soldiers had torn down all the fences, and piled them up for +fire-wood. The fox ran right in among the rails; and, the more he tried to +get out, the more he couldn't.</p> + +<p>"A fox, a fox!" we shouted; hearing which, all the men, like so many +boys, rushed up, and made themselves into a circle around the wood-pile, +so that poor foxy was completely hemmed in.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_168" id="Page_168">[168]</a></span></p> + +<p>Then a few of us went to work, and removed the rails one by one, until +at last he was clear, and we could all see him. With a bound, he tried +to get away; but the men kept their legs very close together, and he was a +prisoner. We got one of the tent-ropes and tried to tie him.</p> + +<p><i>Such</i> a time as we had! One man got bitten; but after a while foxy +was caught. Then what did the cunning little thing do but make believe +he was dead! Foxes are very cunning: they can play dead at any time.</p> + +<p>He lay on the ground quite still, while he was tied, and the rope was +made fast to a tree. When we all stepped back, he tried again to get away. +The rope held him fast; but he bit so nearly through it, that we feared we +should lose him, after all.</p> + +<p>So off rushed one of the boys, and borrowed a chain from one of the +wagons at headquarters. With this Master Fox was made quite secure.</p> + +<p>We tried to tame him; for, being away from all little children, we were +glad of any thing to pet. But it was of no use; for, even when foxes are +taken very young, they cannot be tamed. They do not attach themselves +to men, as dogs and some other animals do.

He +first led us to a hive made wholly of +glass, so that we might watch the +bees at their labors.</p> + +<p>He told us there were three kinds +of bees; and in the picture you may +see how they look, both when flying +and when at rest. Those marked <i>A</i> +are queen-bees; <i>B</i> are the male bees, +or drones; and <i>C</i> the working-bees.</p> + +<p>The most important bee in the hive +is naturally the queen. She is longer +and sleeker than the others, and has +a crooked sting, of which, however, +she seldom makes use. Similar in +form, but smaller, are the working-bees, +whose sting is straight. The +male bee, or drone, is thicker than +the others, and stingless.</p> + +<p>"What has the queen to do in the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_172" id="Page_172">[172]</a></span> +hive?" I asked. The old gentleman replied, "She is the +mother-bee, lays all the eggs, and is so diligent that she +often lays twelve hundred in a day, having a separate cell +for each egg. That is her only work; for she leaves the +whole care of her children to the industrious working-bees, +who have various labors to perform. Some of them build +cells of wax; others bring in honey on the dust of flowers, +called pollen; yet others feed and take care of the young; +and a small number act as body-guard to the queen."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_173" id="Page_173">[173]</a></span></p> + +<p>The bee-master next took us to a strange-looking old hive, +and asked us what it was like. I said, "The trunk of a +tree." He told me I was right, and that the wild bees +still dwell in hollow trees.</p> + +<p>He then showed us various kinds of hives, and, last of all, +a glass globe, in which the bees had built a beautiful white +comb in the form of a star, and filled it with honey. This +he was to send as a wedding-present to a bride.</p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 277px;"> +<img src="images/illus172.png" width="277" height="327" alt="At the hive" title="At the hive" /> +</div> +<p>He said, "The bees can make of any egg, either a queen +or a working bee, according to the food and treatment they +give it. The queen requires but sixteen days in which to +come to maturity; while the workers require twenty, and the +drones twenty-four. When several queens appear at the +same time, they fight until one gains the victory."</p> + +<p>Honey is the nectar of flowers, which they collect with +their tongues, place in their honey-bags, and deposit in cells +built for the purpose, which, when filled, they cover with +wax.</p> + +<p>Bee-bread is made of the dust of flowers, with which the +bee gets covered in collecting honey. This it brushes off, +kneads into two little masses, which are placed in a sort of +basket on the joint of the leg, where a fringe of hairs acts +as a cover.</p> + +<p>Wax is a secretion from honey, which oozes out between +the rings which form the body, and is then worked with the +mouth until it is fit for the construction of the comb. Bees +also make a gummy substance for varnishing their cells, +which they procure from the buds of trees.</p> + +<p>When we took leave of the kind old gentleman, he gave +me in a basket a nice honeycomb to take to my mother; +and since that my father has bought me a hive of bees. +Every summer I plant flowers in my garden for them, that +they may not have far to go for their honey.</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Bertha.</span><br /> +</div> + + + + + +<div><br /><br /></div><div class="figcenter" style="width: 141px;"><img src="images/divider.png" width="141" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /></div><div><br /><br /></div> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_174" id="Page_174">[174]</a></span></p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 200px;"> +<img src="images/illus174.png" width="200" height="200" alt="Bad Luck" title="Bad Luck" /> +</div> +<h2>BAD LUCK.</h2> + + +<div class='story'><span class="smcap">John</span> went down to the brook +to catch a mess of fish.

River, and landed at our village in Illinois. +They were of the Chickasaw tribe from Minnesota, who are +half-civilized, and speak our language imperfectly.</p> + +<p>Indians, you must know, do not live in good warm houses +as we do. They live in wigwams, as they call their houses, +which are merely a few poles stuck in the ground, and covered +with skins or blankets.</p> + +<p>They do not provide regular meals, but live from hand to +mouth by hunting and fishing. Sometimes they have to go +without food a long time. The men are too lazy to work. +They like better to strut about with their faces painted all +the colors of the rainbow.</p> + +<p>The Indians who came to our village were very good<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_182" id="Page_182">[182]</a></span> +specimens of their race. Of course, their visit made quite +a sensation, especially among our young folks. As soon as +they landed, the squaws (women) threw their blankets over +their shoulders, swung their pappooses (babies) on their +backs, and, with their little boys and girls, came up into town.</p> + +<p>The Indian boys made some money by shooting arrows at +cents stuck in a stake. They were quite skilful. The +squaws offered for sale slippers, moccasons, and bags, which +they had worked themselves with sinews and porcupine-quills.</p> + +<p>Their chief, a large man, whose face was painted bright +red, got the use of our town hall, and in the evening gathered +his party there, and showed us some of their dances. +Two of the men beat a "tum-tum" on their rude drums +(which looked like nail-kegs); and the little and big Indians +danced or hopped around in a circle, singing, "Ye, ye! yu, +yu! hi, yi! ye, ye!"</p> + +<p>Now and then the chief would pull out a long knife, and +swing it around his head; and another Indian would draw +up his bow, as if he were going to shoot. This was the war-dance.</p> + +<p>We were all much amused; and our little boys and girls +laughed heartily. We gave the Indians some money to buy +their breakfast, and they said, "Yank, yank!"</p> + +<p>When they, or a like party, come again, I will tell you +more about them.</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Carlos.</span><br /> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 167px;"> +<img src="images/illus182.png" width="167" height="200" alt="Cat" title="Cat" /> +</div> +<div><br /><br /></div><div class="figcenter" style="width: 141px;"><img src="images/divider.png" width="141" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /></div><div><br /><br /></div> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_183" id="Page_183">[183]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 277px;"> +<img src="images/illus183.png" width="277" height="213" alt="Playing Tableaux" title="Playing Tableaux" /> +</div> + + + +<h2>PLAYING TABLEAUX.</h2> + + +<p><span class="smcap">The</span> picture of "Miss Jones" in the February "Nursery" +reminded me of two other little girls who are as fond of +"playing people" as Edith May.</p> + +<p>Nearly every day in winter, when they cannot play out +of doors, these little girls dress up to represent different +characters.

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.

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.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/24479-h/images/contents.png b/24479-h/images/contents.png Binary files differnew file mode

Some of them were cousins to one another; and some were +brothers and sisters. This grandmother lived in an old, old cottage not +far from the sea-beach. The cottage had a long sloping roof; and there +was an elm-tree in front of it. + +One fair day in June, the boys went down to the sea-beach to bathe, and +the girls went out on the lawn to play. Some of them thought they would +play "hunt the slipper." + +But little Emma Darton, who was a cousin to the rest, said, "I promised +my mother I would not sit down on the grass: so, if you play 'hunt the +slipper,' I must not play with you; for in that game you have to sit." + +Then her Cousin Julia replied, "Nonsense, Emma! It is a bright warm day. +Don't you see the grass is quite dry? Come, you must not act and talk +like an old woman of sixty. Come and join in our game." + +But Emma said, "When I make a promise, I always try to keep it. If to do +that is to be like an old woman of sixty, then I am glad I am like one." + +"You are the oldest-talking little witch I ever knew for a +five-year-old," cried Julia. "If you don't look out, you'll not live +half your days." + +"I think Emma is right," said Marian, another cousin. "So, if you insist +on sitting on the grass, Emma and I will go and sit by ourselves on the +trunk of the old fallen tree." + +But Julia insisted on having her game of "hunt the slipper;" and Emma +and Marian went and sat down on the fallen trunk, and looked on while +the rest played. + +The next day five of grandmother's little visitors did not seem to be +well. Some were coughing, and some were sneezing, and some were +complaining of pains in their limbs. + +"Why, what is the matter with you, children?" said the old lady. "If I +did not know you were sensible little girls, I should say you had been +sitting on the damp grass,--all of you but Emma and Marian." + +The cousins looked at one another; but no one spoke aloud. Then Marian +whispered to Emma, "Are you not glad you kept your promise to your +mother?" + +Emma looked up and smiled, but did not say a word. + + DORA BURNSIDE. + + + + +THE FLYING WOOD-SAWYER. + + +ONE day last winter I was cutting maple-logs in the woods with a +cross-cut saw. It was about five feet long, and had a handle at each +end, so as to be used by two persons together. My brother generally +helped me; but, for some reason, he was not with me then, and I was at +work all by myself in a rather lonesome place. + +I had finished eating my dinner, set my pail under a clump of trees, and +commenced my afternoon job; but, as the log was large and hard, I often +had to stop and rest a minute. While I was standing still, with my hands +upon one handle of the saw, all at once a bird came flying down towards +me; and, after resting upon the ground behind the log a few moments, +what do you suppose he did? + +Whether he knew I was tired, and thought it was too hard for me to cut +the wood all alone, I cannot say; but suddenly he gave a little spring, +and seated himself right on the other handle of my saw, as you see in +the picture, grasping it with all the hands he had, and looking as +though he had come on purpose to help me saw that log through. + +[Illustration] + +For my part, I rather think he did help me; for, while he kept his hold +upon the other end of the saw, I _rested_ faster than I ever did before. +I stood as motionless as a statue; for I feared that any movement would +scare the bird away. + +How soon I should have got through my sawing with his help, I cannot +tell. But suddenly he seemed to think of something more important; and +away he went, like a streak of sunshine, off into the woods beyond me. + +I have never seen my sawyer-bird since then. I call him my "sawyer-bird" +because I don't know how else to name him. He was a strange bird to me: +but he seemed like a good friend; and I shall always remember him as he +looked when trying to help me work that winter's day. + + UNCLE WILLIAM. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE OLD BLIND MAN AND HIS GRANDDAUGHTER. + + + SILVER-WHITE his locks are straying + As upon the bench he sits, + While his little grandchild, playing, + Round about him sings and flits. + + Calmly there, and unrepining, + Waits he--he is old and blind; + But the sun is brightly shining, + And the soft spring airs are kind. + + "Ah! if he could once, once only, + See the splendor of the vale! + He, so old and weak and lonely, + See the trees wave in the gale!" + + Then his little daughter, pressing + Up against the old man's knee, + With her childish, soft caressing, + Filled his heart with boyish glee. + + Through her eyes once more beholding + All the glories of the spring, + Now his youth once more unfolding, + Hope and joy and beauty bring. + + FROM THE GERMAN. + + + + +PAPA'S STORY. + + +"NOW, papa, for another army story," said little Eddie, as he climbed +into papa's lap, and prepared himself to listen. + +Papa closed his eyes, stroked his whiskers; and Eddie knew the story was +coming. This is it,-- + + One day, when we were camping in Virginia, some + of us got leave to go into the woods for + chestnuts, which grew there in great abundance. + We were busy picking up the nuts, when we heard + a scrambling in the bushes. We thought it was a + dog. + +"_Was_ it a dog?" asks Eddie. + +"No, it was not a dog." + +"Was it a cat?" + +"No, it was not a cat." + +"O papa! _was_ it a _bear_?" + +[Illustration] + +"No, it was not a bear." + +"Do tell me what it was!" + +"Well, let me go on with my story, and you shall hear." + + It was a fox. How he did run when he saw us! We + ran after him, and chased him into a pile of + rails, in one corner of the camp. + + You see, the soldiers had torn down all the + fences, and piled them up for fire-wood. The + fox ran right in among the rails; and, the more + he tried to get out, the more he couldn't. + + "A fox, a fox!" we shouted; hearing which, all + the men, like so many boys, rushed up, and made + themselves into a circle around the wood-pile, + so that poor foxy was completely hemmed in. + + Then a few of us went to work, and removed the + rails one by one, until at last he was clear, + and we could all see him. With a bound, he + tried to get away; but the men kept their legs + very close together, and he was a prisoner. We + got one of the tent-ropes and tried to tie him. + + _Such_ a time as we had! One man got bitten; + but after a while foxy was caught. Then what + did the cunning little thing do but make + believe he was dead! Foxes are very cunning: + they can play dead at any time. + + He lay on the ground quite still, while he was + tied, and the rope was made fast to a tree. + When we all stepped back, he tried again to get + away. The rope held him fast; but he bit so + nearly through it, that we feared we should + lose him, after all. + + So off rushed one of the boys, and borrowed a + chain from one of the wagons at headquarters. + With this Master Fox was made quite secure. + + We tried to tame him; for, being away from all + little children, we were glad of any thing to + pet. But it was of no use; for, even when foxes + are taken very young, they cannot be tamed. + They do not attach themselves to men, as dogs + and some other animals do. He would not play + with us at all; but we enjoyed watching him, as + we had not many amusements. + + One day we had to go off on a march, and left + our little fox tied to a tree. When we came + back, he was gone. We never knew how he got + away; but we were not very sorry, for he was + not happy with us. It was much better for him + to be in the woods with his own friends. If he + was smart enough to stay there, he may be + living now; but he must be a pretty old fox by + this time. + +Here papa stopped; and his little boy drew a long breath, as though very +glad that the little fox got into the woods again. + + MARY MYRTLE. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +DIXIE. + + + DIXIE, this little dog of mine, + Had legs like a spider, black and fine, + A nimble tail, and a body slim, + And ears that would almost cover him. + +[Illustration] + + If you whispered to him of "birds" or "rats," + Of "cows" or "squirrels" or "pigs" or "cats," + He was all a-tremble with hope and fun, + Ready to hunt or fight or run. + + But Dixie is older now; he shows + A gray mustache on his once black nose: + Slower his legs to frolic and leap; + And he needs a nice soft place to sleep. + +[Illustration] + + But he has such brown and gentle eyes, + Has love so human, and ways so wise, + Has tastes so dainty,--the wilful elf!-- + That he rules all things to suit himself. + + Only Flora has any fear + If he speaks too loud, or comes too near; + Yet she told me bravely the other night + She could pat the end that didn't bite. + + CLARA DOTY BATES. + +[Illustration] + + + +ABOUT BEES. + + +[Illustration: L]OUDLY weeping, I ran to my father from the garden, a +bee having stung me in the hand. He drew out the sting, washed my +swollen hand in cool water, told me about those wonderful creatures the +bees, and promised to take me to visit a gentleman who kept many hives +of them. + +So, the first fine day, we walked to a neighboring village, and found +the bee-master, as he was called, very glad to show us his little pets. +He first led us to a hive made wholly of glass, so that we might watch +the bees at their labors. + +He told us there were three kinds of bees; and in the picture you may +see how they look, both when flying and when at rest. Those marked _A_ +are queen-bees; _B_ are the male bees, or drones; and _C_ the +working-bees. + +The most important bee in the hive is naturally the queen. She is longer +and sleeker than the others, and has a crooked sting, of which, however, +she seldom makes use. Similar in form, but smaller, are the +working-bees, whose sting is straight. The male bee, or drone, is +thicker than the others, and stingless. + +"What has the queen to do in the hive?" I asked. The old gentleman +replied, "She is the mother-bee, lays all the eggs, and is so diligent +that she often lays twelve hundred in a day, having a separate cell for +each egg. That is her only work; for she leaves the whole care of her +children to the industrious working-bees, who have various labors to +perform. Some of them build cells of wax; others bring in honey on the +dust of flowers, called pollen; yet others feed and take care of the +young; and a small number act as body-guard to the queen." + +[Illustration] + +The bee-master next took us to a strange-looking old hive, and asked us +what it was like. I said, "The trunk of a tree." He told me I was right, +and that the wild bees still dwell in hollow trees. + +He then showed us various kinds of hives, and, last of all, a glass +globe, in which the bees had built a beautiful white comb in the form of +a star, and filled it with honey. This he was to send as a +wedding-present to a bride. + +He said, "The bees can make of any egg, either a queen or a working bee, +according to the food and treatment they give it. The queen requires but +sixteen days in which to come to maturity; while the workers require +twenty, and the drones twenty-four. When several queens appear at the +same time, they fight until one gains the victory." + +Honey is the nectar of flowers, which they collect with their tongues, +place in their honey-bags, and deposit in cells built for the purpose, +which, when filled, they cover with wax. + +Bee-bread is made of the dust of flowers, with which the bee gets +covered in collecting honey. This it brushes off, kneads into two little +masses, which are placed in a sort of basket on the joint of the leg, +where a fringe of hairs acts as a cover. + +Wax is a secretion from honey, which oozes out between the rings which +form the body, and is then worked with the mouth until it is fit for the +construction of the comb. Bees also make a gummy substance for +varnishing their cells, which they procure from the buds of trees. + +When we took leave of the kind old gentleman, he gave me in a basket a +nice honeycomb to take to my mother; and since that my father has bought +me a hive of bees. Every summer I plant flowers in my garden for them, +that they may not have far to go for their honey. + + BERTHA. + +[Illustration] + + + + +BAD LUCK. + + +JOHN went down to the brook to catch a mess of fish. He took off his +boots, took his seat on the bank, and threw out his line. + +The fishes took John's bait. He could see them dart at the bait as fast +as he threw it in; but they did not take his hook. + +While he watched them, some one touched him on the arm. It was his +sister Jane. + +"How many have you caught, John?" said she. "I'll help you take them +home." + +"Thank you," said John. "We shall not have much of a load. I have had +bad luck." + +There were three men a mile down stream, who did full as well as John +did. Here is a sketch of them. + +[Illustration] + + + + +CHERRY AND FAIR-STAR. + + +I COULD not have been quite six years old when I became the possessor of +a canary-bird, to which I gave the name of Cherry. + +There were three children of us,--myself (the oldest), Arthur, and baby. +My father was at sea; and my mother had charge of us all in her little +house near the ocean. + +Well do I remember one cold day in winter when we were all gathered in +the one little apartment that served us for nursery, dining-room, and +sitting-room. Arthur, who had overslept himself, was at his breakfast; +mother was feeding baby; and I was looking at my dear Cherry in his +cage. + +Pots of hyacinths in bloom were on the table; Mr. Punch, Arthur's +Christmas present, lay as if watching the cat on baby's pillow in the +basket; and Muff, the old cat, with Fair-Star her kitten, were lapping +milk from a basin on the floor. + +My dear mother had taught Muff to be good to Cherry; and Muff seemed to +have overcome her natural propensities so far as to let Cherry even +light on her head, and there sing a few notes of a song. + +So, on the day I am speaking of, I let Cherry out of his cage; and he +flew round, and at last lighted on the kitten's head. At this Muff +seemed much pleased; and Fair-Star herself was not disturbed by the +liberty the little bird took. + +But all at once Muff sprang upon Cherry, and, seizing him in her mouth, +jumped up on the bureau. At last it would seem as if the old cat had +chosen her time to kill and eat my poor little bird. + +[Illustration] + +No such thing! Our good Muff was all right. A neighbor, who had come to +borrow our axe, had left the back-door open; and a hungry old stray cat +had suddenly made her appearance. Muff saw that Cherry was in danger, +and seized him so that the strange cat should not harm him. + +Cherry was not only not hurt, but not frightened. Well do I remember how +my mother placed baby on the pillows, drove out the strange cat, and +then took up Muff, and petted and praised her till Muff's purr of +pleasure was loud as the noise of a spinning-wheel. + +After that adventure, Cherry and Muff and Fair-Star were all better +friends than ever. + + LUCY KORNER. + + + + +THE FAT LITTLE PIGGIES. + + + SAID a sow to her piggies so white, + "Oh! the chilly winds whistle around, + There is ice on the old miller's dam, + And there's snow on the hard frozen ground; + But a warm, sheltered stackyard have we, + Where all day you may play hide-and-seek: + So away, little piggies, my white little piggies, + For a gambol and scramble and squeak. + + "You have all had your breakfasts, I know; + For your trough was full, up to the top, + Of the sweetest potatoes and milk; + And you've not left a bit or a drop; + But, though an old sow, I'll not grunt: + So begone round the barn for a freak, + And I'll watch you, dear piggies, fat, curly-tailed piggies, + As you hurry and scurry and squeak." + +[Illustration] + + So at once, 'mid the fresh-sprinkled straw, + The young pettitoes scampered away; + And they rooted and burrowed and hid, + Then all quiet a minute they lay: + Soon their pink-pointed, noses peeped out; + Then their bodies, so plump and so sleek. + Oh the glad little piggies, the mad little piggies-- + How they snuffle and scuffle and squeak! + + GEORGE BENNETT. + +[Illustration] + + + + + + + +A SONG OF NOSES. + + + [Illustration: D]UNCAN has a nose, + Points my finger at it: + + Has a nose the hare, + He will let you pat it. + +[Illustration] + + Has a nose the bull, + Soon he will be lowing. + +[Illustration] + + Has a nose the fox, + He is very knowing. + +[Illustration] + + Peacock has a nose, + Very proud he's feeling. + +[Illustration] + + Has a nose the hog, + Soon he will be squealing. + + Tell me which of all these noses + Duncan now the best supposes. + +[Illustration] + + + + +ABOUT SOME INDIANS. + + +LAST summer a party of Indians,--men, women, and children,--in nine +little birch canoes, came paddling down the Mississippi River, and +landed at our village in Illinois. They were of the Chickasaw tribe from +Minnesota, who are half-civilized, and speak our language imperfectly. + +Indians, you must know, do not live in good warm houses as we do. They +live in wigwams, as they call their houses, which are merely a few poles +stuck in the ground, and covered with skins or blankets. + +They do not provide regular meals, but live from hand to mouth by +hunting and fishing. Sometimes they have to go without food a long time. +The men are too lazy to work. They like better to strut about with their +faces painted all the colors of the rainbow. + +The Indians who came to our village were very good specimens of their +race. Of course, their visit made quite a sensation, especially among +our young folks. As soon as they landed, the squaws (women) threw their +blankets over their shoulders, swung their pappooses (babies) on their +backs, and, with their little boys and girls, came up into town. + +The Indian boys made some money by shooting arrows at cents stuck in a +stake. They were quite skilful. The squaws offered for sale slippers, +moccasons, and bags, which they had worked themselves with sinews and +porcupine-quills. + +Their chief, a large man, whose face was painted bright red, got the use +of our town hall, and in the evening gathered his party there, and +showed us some of their dances. Two of the men beat a "tum-tum" on their +rude drums (which looked like nail-kegs); and the little and big Indians +danced or hopped around in a circle, singing, "Ye, ye! yu, yu! hi, yi! +ye, ye!" + +Now and then the chief would pull out a long knife, and swing it around +his head; and another Indian would draw up his bow, as if he were going +to shoot. This was the war-dance. + +We were all much amused; and our little boys and girls laughed heartily. +We gave the Indians some money to buy their breakfast, and they said, +"Yank, yank!" + +When they, or a like party, come again, I will tell you more about them. + + CARLOS. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +PLAYING TABLEAUX. + + +THE picture of "Miss Jones" in the February "Nursery" reminded me of two +other little girls who are as fond of "playing people" as Edith May. + +Nearly every day in winter, when they cannot play out of doors, these +little girls dress up to represent different characters. They call this +"Playing Tableaux;" but their _tableaux_ are something more than +pictures, as they act their parts as well as dress them. + +Sometimes, for instance, one of the little girls appears as a peddler, +who is quite as hard to get rid of as a real one. + +Sometimes a washerwoman comes in, and gets about tubs and clothes, and +makes all the confusion of washing-day. + +Sometimes papa's great shaggy black coat covers what pretends to be +"your good old dog Tiger," who is very kind to his friends, but has +loud, fierce "bow-wow-wows" and sharp bites for those who are not good +to him. + +Sometimes poor little lame Jimmy, who can only walk on crutches, comes +in to sell shoe-strings, "because," he says, "you know I can do nothing +else to help my poor mother." + +Sometimes a ring at the door-bell calls our attention to the wants of a +deaf-and-dumb beggar, who makes fearful gestures till he is fed, and +then forgets that he cannot speak, and says, "Thank you!" in a very +familiar voice. + +When these little girls have company, they often fit out travelling +parties for California, or a trip to Europe; and the baggage they make +out to collect would serve very well if they were "really and truly +going," as they tell us they are. + +Their good-bys are very affecting as they kiss us all, and beg us write +by the first mail. + + AUNT MERCY. + +[Illustration: ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL.] + +[Illustration] + + + + +A-MAYING. + + + WHEN the wild March winds were blowing, + Not so very long ago, + And it still kept snowing, snowing, + Piling, drifting, + Heaping, sifting, + Snow on snow, + Faithless Fanny said, "Spring never + Will be here; 'twill snow forever; + And I don't believe I ever + Shall again a-Maying go!" + + April pleased her little better: + Now 'twas rain as well as snow; + Every day was wet and wetter, + Drifting, dropping, + Soaking, sopping, + Raining so, + That poor Fanny feared the showers + Would quite drown her precious flowers; + And for what, in May's bright hours, + Could she then a-Maying go? + + Now the gay May sun is shining, + Pink and sweet the Mayflowers blow; + And forgetting her repining, + Her complaining + Of the raining + And the snow, + With its fitful, frosty flurries, + Fanny lingers not, nor worries, + But to field and greenwood hurries; + For she must a-Maying go. + + FENNO HAYES. + + + + +LITTLE MISCHIEF. + + +XV. + +WHAT now? Will this child never be out of hot water? What is Bessie +doing now? I will tell you. She found in one of her mother's drawers a +box; and, on opening it, she found some little round things something +like sugar-plums. + +[Illustration] + +She began putting the little round things in her mouth, and swallowing +them. They were not quite so pleasant as she had expected, or she would +have taken more. "I wonder what makes them taste so bitter?" thought +Bessie. + +She will find that out by and by, to her sorrow. + + +XVI. + +"What makes me feel so?" thought Bessie as she sat in the big arm-chair +in mother's best chamber, rubbing her eyes, and feeling very +uncomfortable. + +She had not sat there long, before she began to cry. Her mother, who had +been wondering who could have been meddling with her pill-box, came in. +"Have you been swallowing these pills?" she asked. + +[Illustration] + +"Yes; but I didn't know they were pills," said Bessie. + +"Well, you will be well punished for your fault," said her mother. "The +pills will make you quite sick." + +And so it happened. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE SEASONS. + + +MARY. + + How I love the blooming Spring, + When the birds so gayly sing! + +JOHN. + + More the Summer me delights, + With its lovely days and nights. + +EMILY. + + Autumn is the best of all, + With its fruits for great and small. + +RICHARD. + + Nay! old Winter is the time! + Jolly then the sleigh-bells' chime! + +GRANDMOTHER. + + Every season will be bright, + Children, if you'll live aright. + + * * * * * + + +Transcriber's Note: + +This issue was part of an omnibus.

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.

U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.
