+LOOK OUT FOR THE ENGINE!
+
+
+[Illustration: S]ALLY and Bob were making a bonfire in the woods. They
+had come to spend the whole day, and had brought their dinner in a
+basket; and Carlo, their little dog, kept watch of it while they
+gathered sticks and leaves.
+
+They soon had a large pile heaped up in the middle of the road which led
+through the forest. "For," said Bob, "we must make the fire where it
+won't do any mischief."
+
+When all was ready, Bob lighted a match, and tucked it under the leaves.
+Then, getting down on his knees, he puffed and blew with his mouth,
+until first there rose a tiny stream of smoke; then a little flame crept
+out; and, in a moment more, the pile was blazing merrily.
+
+The children got some large stones, and sat down on them to warm their
+hands; for Sally said her nose and fingers were so cold, she was sure
+Jack Frost must be somewhere around. They could not make Carlo come near
+the fire: he was afraid of it, it crackled and sputtered so. He liked
+better to lie under the bushes near the dinner-basket.
+
+"What a splendid bonfire!" said Bob.
+
+"Yes," said Sally; "but don't you wish we had some nice apples to roast
+in the coals?"
+
+Just as she said this, they heard the whistle of a locomotive away in
+the distance. "Look out for the engine!" shouted Bob, jumping up. "Let's
+run and see the cars go by."
+
+Away they ran down the road, to the edge of the woods, and climbed up on
+the fence. By leaning over, they could look far up the track, and watch
+the train come thundering down. First only a black speck was in sight;
+then the great lantern in front of the locomotive glittered in the sun;
+and soon the train was rushing by.
+
+Bob balanced himself on the top rail, and shouted, "Hurrah!" Sally
+screamed, "Good-by, good-by!" at the top of her voice; and Carlo
+bristled up his hair, and barked loudly, wondering all the time what
+this strange creature could be, which made such a racket, and ran faster
+than he could.
+
+The people in the cars heard the noise, and looked out to see where it
+came from. They saw a boy without his jacket perched on a fence, waving
+his hat; a little girl by his side, laughing so hard that she showed all
+her teeth; and a funny little yellow dog yelping with all his might:
+that was all. But they thought it a pretty picture, and opened the
+car-windows to wave their handkerchiefs.
+
+As the last car rushed by, a lady at one of the windows tossed out two
+rosy apples. Down jumped Bob and Sally to pick them up. The apples had
+fallen in some thick grass, and were not bruised at all. "Just what we
+wanted," said Sally; "but, oh, dear! I'm so tired with shouting, that I
+don't believe I can eat my apple." She did eat it, though, every bit of
+it, except the seeds.

+
+
+
+
+HOW WILLY COAXED EDITH.
+
+
+THE children who had "The Nursery" last year will remember the story
+called "Kindness is better than Blows," where the bookseller with an
+apple coaxed the horse to draw a heavy load up the hill. Little Willy
+Gay looked at that picture very carefully, and soon made practical use
+of it, as I will tell you.
+
+Willy is very fond of playing horse, but has no brother to play with
+him. His sister Edith, three years old, does not like to play horse: she
+prefers to be with her dollies. Sometimes Willy gets cross, and scolds
+at her because she will not play horse as much as he wants her to.
+
+A few days ago I saw Willy coming up from the cellar with a large red
+apple in his hand; and soon after I heard the two children racing
+through the rooms, having a merry time; and Willy called out, "O mamma!
+I gave Edie an apple, and she _did_ play horse."
+
+You see, he had thought about that story, and made up his mind to try to
+coax little sister, as the man did the horse: he soon found that kind
+words and deeds were better than scolding.
+
+I hope he will not forget it very soon.
+

+
+
+
+
+WORKS OF ART FOR CHILDREN.
+
+
+I HAVE a little daughter who never returns from a walk in the woods
+without bringing a bunch of gay flowers. I have taught her to make of
+them many little works of art, which you may also like to learn, dear
+reader.
+
+Here is the first. Certainly there must grow in your neighborhood some
+larch or spruce trees. If we look sharp, we shall soon find on them a
+handsome half-open cone. In the small openings of this cone we stick
+delicate flowers and grasses which we find in the meadows and fields.
+
+When our nosegay is ready, we lay the cone with the flowers very
+carefully in a dish of water.
+
+After an hour, the cone is so closely shut, that the flowers are held as
+fast in its scales as if they had always grown there. This makes a very
+nice present.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+I will tell you how to make another pretty thing. You know what a burr
+is. Alas! it has often played you many a naughty trick,--woven itself
+provokingly into your clothes, or perhaps into your hair. I can teach
+you to make a better use of it.
+
+Pluck an apron full: lay them one against another so that they shall
+stick fast together, and make in this manner the bottom of a small
+basket of any shape you like,--round, square, or oval.
+
+Now build the burrs up around the edge to form the sides. When this is
+finished, make also the handle of burrs. A lovely little basket stands
+before you, which you can fill with flowers or berries from the fields,
+and carry home to your mother. Of course you know how to make wreaths
+and bouquets; but to make them tastefully is a true work of art, in
+which all children should try to become skilful.

+MY CLOTHES-PINS.
+
+
+ MY clothes-pins are but kitchen-folk,
+ Unpainted, wooden, small;
+ And for six days in every week
+ Are of no use at all.
+
+ But when a breezy Monday comes,
+ And all my clothes are out,
+ And want with every idle wind
+ To go and roam about,
+
+ Oh! if I had no clothes-pins then,
+ What would become of me,
+ When roving towels, mounting shirts,
+ I everywhere should see!
+
+ "I mean," a flapping sheet begins,
+ "To rise and soar away."
+ "We mean," the clothes-pins answer back,
+ "You on this line shall stay."
+
+ "Oh, let me!" pleads a handkerchief,
+ "Across the garden fly."
+ "Not while I've power to keep you here,"
+ A clothes-pin makes reply.
+
+ So, fearlessly I hear the wind
+ Across the clothes-yard pass,
+ And shed the apple-blossoms down
+ Upon the flowering grass.
+
+ The clothes may dance upon the line,
+ And flutter to and fro:
+ My faithful clothes-pins hold them fast,
+ And will not let them go.
+
+ My clothes-pins are but kitchen-folk,
+ Unpainted, wooden, small;
+ And for six days in every week
+ Are of no use at all.
+
+ But still, in every listening ear,
+ Their praises I will tell;
+ For all that they profess to do
+ They do, and do it well.

+KIT MIDGE.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+KIT MIDGE was thought in the family to be a wonderful little cat. She
+enjoyed sitting in the sunshine; she liked to feast upon the dainty
+little mice; and, oh, dear me! now and then, she liked to catch a bird!
+
+This was very naughty, of course; but the best trained cats have their
+faults. One morning Kit ate her breakfast with great relish, washed her
+face and paws, smoothed down her fur coat, and went into the parlor to
+take a nap in the big arm-chair.
+
+The sun shone full in her face; and she blinked and purred and felt very
+good-natured; for, only the night before, she had caught her first rat,
+and for such a valiant deed had been praised and petted to her heart's
+content.
+
+Well, Kit Midge fell asleep in the chair, with one little pink ear
+turned back, that she might wake easily, and a black tail curled round
+her paws. By and by one eye opened; and, peeping out, she saw her
+mistress walking across the room with a dear little yellow-bird in her
+hand, which she placed on a plant that stood on the top shelf of the
+plant-stand.
+
+Now, Midge had looked with longing eyes for weeks upon a lovely canary,
+which sang on its perch far out of her reach; and I suppose she thought
+this was the same bird among the green leaves.
+
+But she was a wise little cat: so she slept on, with both eyes open,
+until her mistress had left the room. Then Kitty came down from the
+chair, and, creeping softly to the stand, made a spring, and seized
+birdie between her teeth. Then, jumping down, she dropped the bird on
+the carpet, smelled it, looked ashamed, and sneaked away.
+
+It was only a stuffed bird; and when her mistress, who had been peeping
+in at the door all the time, said, laughing, "O Kit Midge, I am
+perfectly ashamed of you!" Kitty just ran out of the room, and did not
+show herself the rest of the day.
+
+Kit Midge was never known to catch a bird after that.

+
+HETTIE'S CHICKEN.
+
+
+WHAT can be prettier than a brood of chickens with a good motherly hen,
+like the one in this picture! See how the little chicks nestle and play
+about their mother! and see what a watchful eye she has over them! But
+some chickens do not have such kind mothers, as you shall hear.
+
+There was a little black one in our yard this spring, which none of the
+mother-hens would own. They would peck at it, and drive it away, till it
+was almost starved. Aunt Jennie told our little Hettie that she might
+have it for her own, if she would take care of it.
+
+So Hettie put the chicken in a cage, with some wool to cover it, and fed
+it several times every day, till it came to know her. When it was let
+out of the cage, it would follow her about wherever she went.
+
+One night Hettie went to bed, and forgot to put her pet in its cage.
+What do you think it did? It just flew up on her pillow; and there it
+sat with its head tucked under its wing.
+
+Hettie named it Posey, and called it her daughter.
+
+"What will you be, some day, when Posey lays eggs, and brings out a
+brood of little chickens?" asked mamma one day.
+
+That was a new idea to Hettie; and it puzzled her little brain for a
+minute: then she laughed out, "Shall I be their grandmother?"
+
+Papa looked up from his paper to see what amused his little girl so
+much; and, when she had told him, he said he would have a pair of
+spectacles ready for her; and mamma said she would make her a cap; and
+Hettie said her little arm-chair would be very nice for a grandmother's
+chair.
+
+"What will you do as you sit in your chair?" said mamma.
+
+"Let me think," replied Hettie. "Why, my grandma is always knitting
+mittens and socks and hoods for us; and I must learn to knit, so I can
+knit some for my grandchildren."
+
+Mamma said she would teach her, and they would begin that very day.
+
+And now, wouldn't you like to see our little Hettie with her roguish
+eyes peeping over spectacles, and her sunny curls straying from her cap,
+and her chubby little hands knitting mittens, and all in that little
+arm-chair?

+ You are mamma's own delight;

+A SCHOOL-BOY'S STORY.
+
+
+JOHN TUBBS was one day doing his sums, when little Sam Jones pushed
+against him; and down went the slate with a horrid clatter. "Take care
+of the pieces!" said the boys, laughing. But Mr. Brill, the master,
+thought it no laughing matter, and, believing it to be John Tubbs's
+fault, told him that he should pay for the slate, and have his play
+stopped for a week.
+
+John said nothing. He did not wish to get little Sam into trouble: so he
+bore the blame quietly. John's mother was by no means pleased at having
+to pay for the slate, as she was a poor woman, and had to provide for
+several other little Tubbses besides John.
+
+"I tell you what it is, John," said she, "you must learn to be more
+careful. I shall not give you any milk for your breakfast all the week;
+and by this I shall save money for the slate, which it is right you
+should pay for."
+
+Poor John ate his bread with water instead of milk: but somehow he was
+not unhappy, for he felt that he had done a kindness to little Sam
+Jones; and the satisfaction of having rendered a service to another
+always brings happiness.
+
+A few days after, Mr. Jones came to the school, and spoke to Mr. Brill
+about the matter; for little Sam had told his father and mother all
+about it. Sam was a timid boy; but he could not bear to see John Tubbs
+kept in for no fault, while the other boys were at play.
+
+"What!" said the master, "and has John Tubbs borne all the blame without
+saying a word?--Come here, John."
+
+"What's the matter now?" said John to himself. "Something else, I
+suppose. Well, never mind, so that poor little Sam Jones has got out of
+his little scrape."
+
+"Now, boys," said Mr. Brill, "here's John Tubbs. Look at him!" And the
+boys did look at him as a criminal; and John looked very much like a
+criminal, and began to think that he must be a bad sort of fellow to be
+called up in this way by his master.
+
+Then Mr. Brill, the master, told the boys all about the broken
+slate,--that John did not break it, but bore all the blame to save Sam
+Jones from trouble, and had gone without his milk and play without a
+murmur. The good schoolmaster said that such conduct was above all
+praise; and, when he had done speaking, the boys burst out into a cheer.
+Such a loud hurrah! it made the school-walls ring again. Then they took
+John on their shoulders, and carried him in triumph round the
+playground.
+
+And what did John say to all this? He only said, "There, that'll do. If
+you don't mind, you'll throw a fellow down."

+
+CLARENCE AT THE MENAGERIE.
+
+
+ON the first day of May, Barnum's menagerie came to our town; and
+Clarence went with his papa to see the animals. He enjoyed looking at
+them all; but most of all he liked the monkeys and the elephants.
+
+He fed the monkeys with candy, and laughed to see them hang by their
+tails while they took it from his hand. They ate all the candy he would
+give them, and did it in a very funny way.
+
+Clarence's papa said the candy had better be eaten by monkeys than by
+boys; but I doubt whether Clarence was of that opinion.
+
+Clarence was afraid of the great elephant when his papa first took him
+near it, and hung back when they came within reach of its trunk.
+
+"Why are you afraid of the elephant, Clarence?" asked his papa. "I'm
+afraid he will _trunk_ me," said Clarence.
+
+But he soon got over his fear, and was so busy feeding the elephant,
+that his papa had to coax him away.
+
+On their way home, Clarence's papa told the little boy some stories
+about elephants. Here is one of them:--
+
+ A famous elephant, called Jack, was once
+ travelling with his keeper from Margate to
+ Canterbury in England, when they came to a
+ toll-bar. Jack's keeper offered the right toll,
+ but the toll-bar man would not take it. He
+ wanted to make them pay more than was right. So
+ he kept the gate shut. On this the keeper went
+ through the little foot-gate to the other side
+ of the bar, calling out, "Come on, Jack!" and
+ at once the elephant applied his trunk to the
+ rails of the gate, lifted it from its hinges,
+ and dashed it to the ground. He then went on
+ his way, while the toll-bar man stood petrified
+ to see what a mistake he had made in demanding
+ an unjust toll from an elephant.
+
+"Now, Clarence," said his papa, "I suppose you would say that the
+elephant 'trunked' the toll-gate, and so he did; but, you see, it was
+because he did not choose to be imposed upon."
+
+ CLARENCE'S PAPA.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+"TOUCH MY CHICKS IF YOU DARE!"
+
+
+THAT is what the old hen must have said to our little pup Bravo, who,
+being three months old, thought he was a match for any chicken or hen in
+the whole barnyard. He made up his mind that he would first try his
+courage on a little yellow chick named Downy, who was just three days
+old, and who had strayed away from his mother's wing to pick up a crumb.
+
+So with a fearful growl, and a bark that might have frightened a lion,
+Bravo made a leap and a spring after poor little Downy. But Downy was
+too intent on his crumb of bread to take much notice of the enemy; and
+then Bravo, like a prudent general, stopped short, and tried his
+artillery before approaching any nearer. In other words, he began to
+bark in such a terrible manner, that any reasonable person would have
+shown his respect by running away.
+
+But Downy was too young to reason, or show respect. Bravo, though as
+valiant as Julius Cæsar, was, at the same time, as cautious and careful
+as Fabius; and, if you do not know who Fabius was, I must tell you. He
+was a Roman general who was very famous for his ability in retreating,
+and getting out of an enemy's way.
+
+Bravo thought to himself, "It holds to reason, since that little chick
+isn't afraid of such a powerful dog as I am, that there must be help
+near at hand." And, sure enough, hardly had Bravo thought this, when
+from behind some rushes ran out an old hen, followed by four, five, six
+chickens; and the old hen, with her feathers all ruffled, went right at
+Bravo, while the chicks stood behind sharpening their bills, and getting
+ready to join in the battle with their mother.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Although the most courageous of dogs, it could not be expected that
+Bravo would be so foolhardy as to make a stand against such odds. He
+paused a moment, with his mouth open, as the terrible old hen came at
+him; and then, seeing that the tide of battle was against him, he ran
+off as fast as he could to his master's door-step. But, though defeated,
+he showed his spirit by keeping up a frightful barking. The old hen and
+her chicks, however, were so stupid that they did not mind it much.
+
+Indeed, the old hen, with her family, came up so near to the door-step,
+that Bravo was obliged to make a second retreat. This he did with such
+success and good general-ship, that he escaped unhurt. Thus ended
+Bravo's first battle; and I think you will agree with me, that many a
+general with epaulets would not have done any better.

+THE CATCHER CAUGHT.
+
+
+_First Sparrow_ (the one standing with both wings spread).--Oh, look
+here! Come all. See what has happened! Here is old Scratch-claw with his
+tail caught fast in the door.
+
+_Second Sparrow._--Where is he? Let me see. Oh, isn't this jolly!
+Halloo, Sparrows! Come and see. Come one, come all.
+
+_Third Sparrow._--That's the rascal that killed and ate three of my
+little ones.
+
+_Fourth Sparrow._--He came near catching me, the other day. Didn't he
+spit viciously when he saw me get out of his way?

+_Pussy._--Siss-ss-siss-ss! Mee-ow? mee-ow!
+
+_Fifth Sparrow._--Oh! wouldn't you like to, though? Spit away, old

+
+_Sixth Sparrow._--You are the brute that killed my dear little

+
+_Eighth Sparrow._--He is a bad fellow; and it is not surprising he has
+come to grief.
+
+_Ninth Sparrow._--Pull away, old boy! Sha'n't we come and help you? I

+
+_Tenth Sparrow_ (the one on the lowest bough).--Children, hush! It is
+not good sparrow morality to jeer at an enemy in affliction,--even a

+
+_Fifth Sparrow._--O grandfather, you shut up your bill! Just you go
+within reach of his claws, and see what cat-gratitude is.
+
+_Tenth Sparrow._--My children, we must not exult over the pains even of

+
+_Fifth Sparrow._--What a lovely voice!

+here comes a little boy who will see that Pussy is rescued.
+
+_First Sparrow._--Well, I wouldn't have missed this spectacle for a good
+deal.
+
+_Fifth Sparrow._--It is better than Barnum's exhibition any day.
+
+_First Sparrow._--Yes, and it costs us nothing.
+
+_Tenth Sparrow._--There! Fly away, all of you! Fly away! You have said
+enough. I am ashamed of you all. You ought to know better than to be
+revengful. You are quite as bad as boys and men.
+
+_Fifth Sparrow._--Grandfather is getting to be abusive. Let us fly off.
+Good-by, Pussy! Pull away!

+THE BIRDS AND THE POND-LILY.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ FOUR little birds came out to greet
+ The first pond-lily, so fair and sweet,
+ The first that opened its petals white
+ To the wooing breeze and the golden light.
+ They flew around, then sat on the tree,
+ And sang, "You are sweet as sweet can be:
+ O dear Pond-lily! we do not jest:
+ Now, which of us all do you love best?"
+ Pond-lily spoke not, but, instead,
+ Dipped in the water her beautiful head,
+ As much as to say, "I'm well content
+ In this my own pure element."
+ The birds they sang in their very best style,
+ But got no answer, not even a smile;
+ For Pond-lily knew it was safest and best
+ To keep where she was, on the wave's cool breast,
+ And never to listen to flattering words
+ From idle suitors and wandering birds.

+EDWIN'S DOVES.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+EDWIN has two doves. They were given to him by his uncle. He has a nice
+little house for them. There are two doors in it, where they go in and
+out. In front of the doors there is a shelf, on which they perch.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The doves are free to go where they please; but they always come home at
+night. They are quite tame. Sometimes they fly up to Edwin's window, and
+light on the sill. They tap on the pane to let him know they are
+hungry.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Then he opens the window, and feeds them. He gives them corn, crumbs of
+bread, and sometimes oats. They like the corn best. One of them is
+rather apt to be greedy; and both get so much to eat that they are very
+plump and fat.
+
+Here are the doves looking at the turkeys. They do not know what to make
+of such birds.

+
+
+THE LITTLE FORTUNE-SEEKERS.
+
+
+YOUNG as Alan was, he had heard from his uncle Paul many a story about
+people seeking their fortune: so, one fine summer day, he set off with
+his brother Owen and his sister Amy a-fortune-seeking. Alan carried a
+stick; and Amy had a little basket on her arm.
+
+Alan led the way, telling Owen and Amy to keep close to him, and to fear
+nothing. As they passed by Lakin's pond, a duck gave a loud quack; when
+they came to the great ash-tree, a bee buzzed by them: but neither the
+quacking nor the buzzing frightened the bold Alan; and on he went,
+holding up his stick.
+
+They had almost reached the sawyer's cottage, when a black animal ran
+out towards them. Alan asked if he should attack the tiger? Owen would
+have it that it was only a puppy dog: but Alan said that did not matter;
+for it had four legs and a head and a tail, and so had a tiger. Owen
+thought he had better let it alone; and Amy tamed the tiger at once by
+giving it a bit of bread from her basket.
+
+Suddenly they came to a spot where five or six geese and a few goslings
+were waddling about. The gander came towards them, stretching out his
+neck, and hissing loudly. Owen and Amy ran back, followed by Alan, who
+told them, that, if he had hit the gander with his stick, he would have
+frightened the goslings.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+As there was a stile near, leading into a field, they all got over the
+stile, and thus passed the geese.
+
+"I wonder how that gander would like it," said Alan, "if I were to turn
+back, and lay hold of him by his long neck, and shake him?" Amy begged
+of him by no means to think of such a thing; and so Alan told her that
+he would not. Little did the gander know of his narrow escape!
+
+Ah, me! what perils await those who go on their travels to seek their
+fortunes! A little brook was now before them; and Alan said, "This river
+must be crossed, and I hope that none of us will be carried away by the
+current. What we shall do if an Indian springs from behind the bushes,
+or a crocodile comes out of the sedge, I don't know. Here is the
+narrowest part of the river. I will lay my stick across it; and, if we
+make believe very much, it will do for a bridge."
+
+"But I can't walk along your stick," said Amy. "Never mind that," said
+Alan: "a bridge is a bridge, whether we walk along it or not." So Alan
+laid his stick across the narrow part, and then jumped over the brook,
+followed by Owen and Amy. No Indian sprang from the bush, no crocodile
+came out of the sedge; and the river was crossed without one of them
+being drowned.
+
+All at once it came into Alan's head that Uncle Paul had once been
+attacked by a wolf, and that they ought to have an adventure of the same
+kind: he therefore asked Owen if he would consent to be eaten up by a
+wolf. Owen said he did not like it: he thought Alan ought to be eaten,
+for he was the biggest. Alan said that would never do; for then there
+would be nobody to care for him and Amy.
+
+But, besides this difficulty, there was another: they had no wolf; and,
+where to get one, they did not know. At last it was settled. Owen was to
+be the wolf, and to spring on Amy; but before he had eaten her up, or
+even so much as snapped off her little finger, Alan was to rush upon him
+with his stick, and drive him back into the woods.
+
+Amy was now left alone, that Owen might get behind one bush, and Alan
+behind another. No sooner was this done, than, with her basket on her
+arm, she went on her journey.
+
+And now Amy was almost come to the bush behind which Owen was crouching.
+For a moment she made a stop, as though she hardly durst go by; but at
+last she went on. Suddenly the wolf leaped out, and caught hold of her.
+
+What was poor Amy to do? Well was it for her that Alan happened to come
+up. Many people are frightened at wolves; but Alan did not seem
+frightened at all.
+
+It was a hard struggle; for the wolf pulled poor Amy one way, and Alan
+pulled her the other; but at length Alan won the day. "Shall I kill the
+wolf, Amy?" cried he, lifting up his stick. "No, no!" cried Amy: "he has
+not hurt me a bit. He is not a real wolf, but only my brother Owen."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The affair of the wolf having passed off so well, Alan began to bethink
+himself of other adventures. So much had he heard from Uncle Paul about
+Indians, that his heart was set on going among them.
+
+Both Owen and Amy wondered where he would find the Indians; but Alan
+said, "That thicket yonder is quite as likely a place to find them in as
+any that I know."
+
+"We have not seen one yet," said Owen. "No," replied Alan: "Indians
+always get behind the trees." This made Owen and Amy look about them, as
+if they feared every tree had an Indian behind it.
+
+Alan set off for the thicket, while Owen and Amy sat down to talk over
+their travels; but it was not long before Alan again joined them.
+Whether the Indians were absent on some expedition, or whatever else
+might be the cause, certain it was that Alan had found no Indians. He
+had, however, torn the leg of one of his stockings: so he asked Amy to
+bind up his wounds.
+
+"But you have not hurt your leg," said Amy: "you have only torn a hole
+in your stocking."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Never mind that!" replied Alan. "We are out on our travels, seeking our
+fortunes, and must make the most of every thing. Bind up my wounded
+leg."
+
+Little Amy tied up his leg with his handkerchief; and, considering that
+she had never bound up a wound before, it did her great credit.
+
+It is due to Alan to say that the misfortune of his wounded leg by no
+means cooled his courage. "What is the use," said he, "of complaining?
+Those who go to seek their fortunes must learn to bear pain."
+
+One of Alan's plans was to find a treasure; and, as they had neither
+spade nor pickaxe with them to dig for gold, he thought the best way
+would be for them to find a bag of money. Amy said, if they found a bag
+of money, she should like to take Dolly some. This being generously
+agreed to by Alan and Owen, they proceeded with their plan.
+
+Alan took Amy's handkerchief, and tied up some grass in it. He then told
+Owen to go on a little way and drop it; and this Owen did. "Hi!" cried
+Alan, when he came up to the spot: "what have we here? Who would have
+thought that a merchant would have dropped a bag of money in such a
+place as this?"
+
+All at once Owen and Amy bethought themselves that they had no right to
+the gold, as it belonged to the merchant who had lost it; but Alan met
+this objection by saying that they could easily inquire for the merchant
+as they went along, and give up the money if they found him. Thus
+pacified, Owen and Amy allowed Alan to lift the heavy bag of money into
+the basket: this he seemed to do with great difficulty.
+
+But how was the basket to be carried with so heavy a weight in it? Said
+Alan, "Where there is a will, there is a way." A stick was procured, and
+passed through the handle of the basket, one end of it resting on Owen's
+shoulder, and the other end on the shoulder of Amy.
+
+Alan with his leg tied up, leaning on his stick for support, hobbled
+onward; and Owen and Amy appeared to toil with might and main, bending
+under their load.
+
+They had almost come to the turn by the birch-trees, when suddenly Dash,
+their own favorite dog, came barking joyfully towards them. At that very
+moment their parents were waiting for them with the pony-chaise at the
+end of the lane.
+
+No sooner did our little fortune-seekers set eyes on the pony-chaise
+than off they set in a scamper, strangely forgetful of what had passed.
+It was wonderful to see how nimble Alan was in spite of his wounded leg;
+and with what ease Owen and Amy ran along with that heavy load of gold,
+which before had well-nigh weighed them down to the ground.
+
+
+
+
+THE LITTLE STEPMOTHER.
+
+
+THE little stepmother, with her blue eyes and rosy cheeks, sat in the
+yard, surrounded by her pets, and busily paring some apples.
+
+From heaven blew the morning wind, and greeted the lovely child: "Little
+stepmother, I will by thee remain: I will make the time pass merrily for
+thee, and cool thy red cheeks. Dost thou not hear?"
+
+A sparrow sat before her on the bench, and twittered: "This is _my_
+place; my stomach is empty. Little stepmother, I am very hungry. I beg
+thee to give me some breakfast. Dost thou not hear?"
+
+The dove swelled with anger, and said, "Go away, thou vagabond, thou
+beggar sparrow, thou glutton!--Little stepmother, I politely ask thee
+only for a sip of water. Dost thou not hear?"
+
+The cat sat lost in thought, opening and shutting her eyes. "Little
+stepmother," said the cat, "my stomach, too, is empty. Go thou for some
+meat, or else look out that no harm comes to thy dear birds in the yard.
+Dost thou not hear?"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The little stepmother laughed, and said, "Be not so impatient! I must
+first make a dish of apple-sauce for the seven and seventy guests who
+are coming to my wedding-feast. When they are all assembled, then shall
+the morning wind play for the dance. You, beloved birds, shall be my
+bridesmaids, and the cat shall be the bride's father."

+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

+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 https://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 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.
