The lit-tle girl has, I dare say, +her prayer book in her bag, and her bro-ther has his un-der his +arm. They seem by their fa-ces, to be good chil-dren, and ap-pear +ve-ry fond of each oth-er. They have been taught by their kind +pa-rents, that it is their du-ty to at-tend di-vine wor-ship, and +pray to God, and the lit-tle girl is point-ing out to her broth-er +the poor old wo-man on her way to church, and seems to be prais-ing +her good-ness. + + + + +[Illustration] + +PRET-TY POLL. + + +Up-on my word, this is a ve-ry pret-ty look-ing par-rot, and the +children seem much pleas-ed with it. I hope they ne-ver play a-ny +tricks with it, or try to tease it, for par-rots when an-gry can +bite pret-ty hard. Poll and her young friends seem to be quite on +good terms, but I should not like to have my fin-ger so near her +bill, unless I were cer-tain of her be-ing in a good hu-mour. +Par-rots a-muse us much by their be-ing able to learn to talk far +bet-ter than a-ny o-ther bird. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE FLOW-ER GAR-DEN. + + +What a pret-ty scene a flow-er gar-den af-fords! Roses, tu-lips, +wall-flowers, and ma-ny oth-ers, a-like pleasing to the sight and +the smell. The lit-tle boy de-serves to en-joy all the plea-sure +that the gar-den can pro-cure him; for he is at work with his +tools, his spade, his bar-row, and his roll-ing stone, which shews +a de-sire of mak-ing him-self use-ful. I be-lieve, too, he has +kind-ly gi-ven his eld-est sis-ter the rose at which she is +smell-ing, and he will I have no doubt, help the young-est in +fill-ing her bas-ket. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE NEW DOLL. + + +We must con-fess that the lit-tle lass with the doll in her hand, +makes a ve-ry cle-ver and care-ful nurse. She is shew-ing her new +trea-sure to her friend on her right with no small de-gree of +pride, at which we need not won-der, nor at the man-ner in which +the oth-er ap-pears to ad-mire it, for it is a ve-ry hand-some +af-fair. It must have cost the lit-tle girl's pa-pa and ma-ma a +great deal of mo-ney, and I hope she will know how to va-lue and +take care of it, and not throw it a-bout af-ter she has had it a +lit-tle while, and get tir-ed of it, as I have known some silly +children do. + + + + +[Illustration] + +A WALK WITH MA-MA. + + +This lit-tle boy and girl, may ve-ry well be in high spi-rits. +Their ma-ma is not of-ten a-ble to go out with them, for the +in-fant takes up a great deal of her time, and she has ma-ny oth-er +things to at-tend to at home, so that the chil-dren most-ly walk +with the ser-vant. But to-day, ma-ma is at lei-sure, and they have +set out for a nice walk in the fields, ba-by and all. The child-ren +seem rea-dy to skip with de-light, and e-ven Tray shares in their +joy. We wish the par-ty much pleasure. + + + + +[Illustration] + +A RIDE WITH MA-MA. + + +Well, this is a tru-ly sty-lish set-out. The pair of long-tailed +hor-ses are per-fect beau-ties, and the post-lad has no need to use +the whip to them. I do not won-der that the lit-tle folks enjoy +their ride so much, in such a nice car-riage, and through such a +love-ly coun-try, and, above all as they are a-long with their kind +ma-ma, who is point-ing out all that she thinks like-ly to a-muse +them. I am sure they have been good chil-dren, or their ma-ma would +not have ta-ken them with her. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE PET LAMB. + + +What a pret-ty, tame, gen-tle crea-ture and how fond-ly its young +mis-tress seems to ca-ress it. Yet I am al-most a-fraid that her +kind-ness is car-ried to ex-cess, and that she hugs the lamb +ra-ther too close for its com-fort. In-deed its looks near-ly +ex-press as much. Her bro-ther ap-pears ful-ly to share in her +fond-ness for the lamb. He has a bas-ket of gay flowers stand-ing +on the ground be-side him, and is making a gar-land for the neck of +the pet, which when, dress-ed out, will no doubt cut a ve-ry smart +fi-gure. + + + + +[Illustration] + +CHARLES'S NEW BOAT. + + +Our young sail-or has just launch-ed his new ves-sel, and a ve-ry +neat and trim one it is. The rig-ging is in good or-der, and the +wind fills the spread-ing sails brave-ly. The grace and beau-ty of +the bark seems great-ly to de-light Charles, as well as his two +sis-ters, who have come to par-take in the plea-sure of the scene. +I do not know what car-go the ves-sel has on board, but I think +there is not much dan-ger of her be-ing wreck-ed, as she is not +like-ly to sail far out of her mas-ter's care and sight. + + + + +[Illustration] + +KIND-NESS TO THE POOR. + + +What a plea-sure it is to see chil-dren with good and kind hearts. +How the sweet lit-tle girl ap-pears to pi-ty the poor in-firm old +wo-man to whom she is giv-ing her pen-ny, and so does her broth-er +who has be-fore giv-en his share of re-lief. And their good ma-ma +stands look-ing on with de-light, as she may well do, at the +con-duct of her off-spring. If we did but re-flect on the com-forts +which God al-lows us to en-joy, while so ma-ny poor crea-tures are +in want and sick-ness and sor-row, we should al-ways be glad to +shew our-selves grate-ful to him by help-ing those who are in +dis-tress. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE PET DOG. + + +Stand up, Pom-pey! You are on-ly half a sol-di-er yet. You have got +your gun in your hand, but we must put your hel-met on be-sides to +make you com-plete. Poor Pom-pey! he is as peace-ful and quiet as a +lamb, and willing to do a-ny thing that he can which he is told to +do. The chil-dren round him seem kind and fond of him, and I trust +they will not keep him stand-ing long, be-cause, though it may +a-muse them to see him play a trick or two, this pos-ture is not +easy to him. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE ROCK-ING HORSE. + + +This is a fa-mous dash-ing steed, and he ap-pears to have a ve-ry +smart, ac-tive young ri-der. He has a firm and grace-ful seat, and +has his reins well in hand. He rides too with a great deal of +cou-rage, al-though we must ad-mit that his charg-er is not like-ly +to swerve from the course which he wish-es him to keep, nor, though +go-ing at full gal-lop, is there any dan-ger of his be-ing thrown +or run a-way with by the do-cile crea-ture on which he is +mount-ed. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE POOR BLACK. + + +In some parts of the world, where the sun is ve-ry hot, the skins +of the peo-ple, in-stead of be-ing white, like ours, are quite +black; these folks are call-ed ne-groes. Some wick-ed men take them +from their homes, and make them slaves and ill-treat them; and +ma-ny sil-ly chil-dren are a-fraid of them, be-cause they seem +ugly. I am glad to see that our young friends have been taught +bet-ter. They are look-ing with pi-ty at the poor black man, and +the lit-tle one is giv-ing him some re-lief. They know that God +made all men of all col-ours, and that we are all e-qual be-fore +him. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE NEW SHOES. + + +Yes, baby is smart in-deed now. How proud she is of her new shoes, +and how ea-ger she is to put out her lit-tle feet to shew them to +her bro-ther and sis-ter, who seem scarce-ly less pleas-ed than +her-self. Her ma-ma too looks with de-light up-on the plea-sure her +ba-by feels, and for-gets all the trou-ble she her-self has had. I +do not know how chil-dren can be grate-ful e-nough to their kind +parents who thus pro-vide for all their wants and plea-sures in +their help-less age. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BRO-KEN DOLL. + + +Here is a sad piece of mis-chief, and, if I am right in my guess, +Mad-am Puss, by the man-ner in which she is scud-ding out of the +room is the au-thor of it. I sus-pect that, while the doll was +ly-ing upon the stool, the cat be-gan to play with its long +clothes, till she pull-ed it down on the floor, where it got broken +as we see. Care might have spar-ed this loss. If the lit-tle girl, +be-fore go-ing to her mu-sic, had put the doll in a high place out +of puss's reach, all would have been safe. + + + + +[Illustration] + +CLE-VER CHARLES AND STEA-DY JANE. + + +This is a sight worth look-ing at. No one i-dle but all mak-ing +some good use of their time. Ma-ma is sett-ing a good pat-tern. She +is bu-sy in read-ing while lit-tle Jane is work-ing close-ly at her +needle, and her el-der bro-ther Charles is tak-ing on the Globe the +mea-sure of the dis-tance be-tween two pla-ces. Their ma-ma must +feel much plea-sure in see-ing her chil-dren em-ploy them-selves so +well, and af-ter their work is o-ver, they will en-joy their play, +when they go to it, more than la-zy folks can ever do. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE MORN-ING LES-SON. + + +We need not ask wheth-er these two chil-dren have learn-ed their +morn-ing les-son as they ought. Their own smil-ing fa-ces, and the +pleas-ed looks of their pa-pa are quite e-nough to tell us that +they are go-ing through their la-bours in a pro-per man-ner, and +not like some lit-tle folks that stop, and blun-der, and stam-mer, +and are al-ways want-ing to be told. Their pa-pa will I dare say +re-ward them with his praise, and, ve-ry like-ly, by tak-ing them +out with him. + + + + +DARTON AND SON'S + +CHILDREN'S BOOKS. + +_One Shilling Each._ + + Aviary (the), or an Agreeable Visit. + + Book of Trades, with coloured plates. + + British Sovereigns, from William the Conqueror to George the Fourth, + 12mo. + + Crocus, (the), containing Original Poems for young People, by I.

Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
