But Ruth, being +an aunt, felt she must keep up the dignity of +one; and so she used to treat Mary as if Mary +were a little girl.</div> + +<p>They had not seen each other for nearly a year; and, +when they met, Mary, who was fond of mischief, acted as +if she were really younger than Ruth, though she well +knew she was nine years older.</p> + +<p>"Aunt Ruth," said Mary, "have you any objection to my +going out in the grove to swing?"</p> + +<p>"None at all, my dear," said Ruth; "but I will go with +you, lest you should get hurt."</p> + +<p>"Thank you, aunty," replied Mary. "Now let us see +who can run the faster."</p> + +<p>Mary started off at a run towards the swing; but Ruth +called her back, and said, "Stop, my dear, you will wet +those nice new shoes in the damp grass; and then your +mother will blame me for not taking better care of you. +We will go by the gravel road to the grove."</p> + +<p>"Yes, ma'am," answered Mary, turning her head to hide +her smiles; and then, seeing a flower, Mary cried, "Oh! +what a beautiful flower!

"You must teach +me all about these wild flowers, aunty; for we city girls have +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_131" id="Page_131">[131]</a></span>few opportunities of seeing them."</p> + +<p>"Yes, my dear niece, I will teach you," returned Ruth. +"I want you to learn a lesson of some kind every day you +are with us."</p> + +<p>Mary burst out into a laugh that she could not control.</p> + +<p>"Why, what are you laughing at, my dear?" asked Aunt +Ruth.</p> + +<p>But Mary, to escape replying to the question, ran and +took hold of the swing. "Now for it, aunty!" said she.</p> + +<p>Mary sat down in the swing, and Ruth pushed her from +behind; and, after she had swung enough, Ruth took her to +the barn. But here, I regret to say, the sight of a pile of +hay on the barn-floor was too much for Niece Mary.

I named him "Dob." +I fed him on skim-milk with a wooden spoon; and he soon +looked for his meal as regularly as I looked for my breakfast. +I made him a bed in a basket with some hay and a bit +of flannel; but he soon outgrew the basket, and we then +made him a bed under the kitchen-stairs.</p> + +<p>When he grew big enough, he was sent into the farm-yard +to get his living among the other pigs; but he would always +run after me, and follow me into the house like a dog. I +had only to call out, "Dob, Dob!" at the gate, and Dob +would be sure to come.</p> + +<p>One day he followed me in-doors with a bit of hay in his +mouth. He ran down stairs, and left this bit of hay where +he used to sleep, under the kitchen-stairs. He then ran off, +and soon returned with some more hay in his mouth, and put +it in the same place. "Well, I declare!" said cook, "this pig +has as much sense as a Christian. Now he has made his +bed, I wonder whether he'll come and sleep in it?"</p> + +<p>In the evening, when we were at tea, Dob came to the +kitchen-door, crying, "Ugh, ugh!" and, when they let him +in, he trotted off to his bed.

He feared lest he might see a wolf +or other wild animal; and then he began to cry, and to call +loudly.

See them on parade! He has opened the gate: he +has cried out, "Forward, march!" and in come the geese, +black and white, single file.</p> + +<p>Joseph stands proudly aside, as a commander ought to, +while reviewing his troops. He has a flag in his hand. His +cousin Richard is the trumpeter. Mary looks on with admiration, +and does not remark that Fido, the sly dog, is trying +to find out what she has good to eat in her basket.</p> + +<p>Now let me tell you a few facts about geese. They have +the reputation of being stupid; but Richard has not found +them so. That leading goose goes by the name of Capt. +Waddle. He does not hold up his head as a captain should; +but he minds a good deal that Richard says to him, for he is +very fond of Richard, and tries to do all that he is told +to do.</p> + +<p>I have heard of a goose who became very fond of a bull-dog. +Grim, for that was the dog's name, had saved her +from the clutch of a fox; and after that it seemed as if the +poor goose could not do enough to show her gratitude. +Every day she would keep as near to Grim as she could; +and, when he was chained to his kennel, she would stay by, +and show her affection in many ways.</p> + +<p>At last the bull-dog was sent off to a neighboring town; +and then the poor goose lost her appetite, and seemed to +pine so, that her owner, Mrs. Gilbert, who was a humane +woman, and took a great interest in dumb animals, sent for +Grim to come back.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> +<img src="images/illus145.jpg" width="600" height="413" alt="With the geese" title="With the geese" /> +</div> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_145" id="Page_145">[145]</a></span> +It would have pleased you to see the meeting. The instant +the goose heard Grim's familiar bark, she started up,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[146]</a></span> +and ran with outstretched wings to greet him. She came +as near to embracing him as a goose could. Grim seemed +well pleased with her delight, and barked his acknowledgments +in a tone that could not be mistaken.</p> + +<p>The goose soon regained her appetite, and was not again +parted from her dear Grim. The best of this story is, that +it is true.

"I will do my best."</p> + +<p>"Then, I will put you a question which is not in the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_148" id="Page_148">[148]</a></span> +book," said mamma. "Which is the heavier,—a pound of +feathers, or a pound of lead?"</p> + +<p>"A pound of lead, to be sure!" cried Walter confidently.</p> + +<p>"There! you spoke then without thinking," said Mrs. +Dane. "A little thought would have made it clear to you +that a pound is a pound, and that a pound of feathers must +weigh just as much as a pound of lead."</p> + +<p>"When I spoke, I was thinking that Tom Burton was +out in the yard waiting for me," said Walter.</p> + +<p>"Well, take your thoughts off from Tom Burton, and put +them on the question I am now about to ask you. What +is a noun?"</p> + +<p>"A noun is a word used as the name of any object."</p> + +<p>"Very well. A noun, then, is a name-word."</p> + +<p>"But why is not every word a name-word just the +same?" asked Walter.</p> + +<p>"Different sorts of words have different uses," said Mrs. +Dane. "If I say, '<i>Walter, come here</i>,' by the word <i>Walter</i>, +I name an object or person; and it is therefore a name-word, +or noun. <i>Noun</i> means <i>name</i>. By the word <i>come</i>, I tell +Walter what to do; and therefore <i>come</i> is a different sort of +word from a name-word. <i>Come</i> is a verb. By the word <i>here</i>, +I tell Walter <i>where</i> he must come; and so <i>here</i> is a different +sort of word from both <i>Walter</i> and <i>come</i>. <i>Here</i> is an +adverb."</p> + +<p>"But, if I say '<i>Come</i>,' do I not name something?" asked +Walter.</p> + +<p>"You certainly do not. What thing do you name? <i>Come</i> +is not an object or thing; <i>come</i> is not a person. You cannot +say, 'Give me a <i>come</i>,' or 'Let me see a <i>come</i>.'"</p> + +<p>"But <i>dog</i> is a name-word, and <i>tree</i> is a name-word," cried +Walter. "I can say, 'Give me a dog,' 'Let me see a tree;' +can I not?"<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_149" id="Page_149">[149]</a></span></p> + +<p>"You certainly can, my son," said Mrs. Dane.</p> + +<p>"And sister, father, mother, sky, cloud, sun, moon, bread, +butter, horse, cow, book, picture, water, land, doll, cart, ball, +bat, are all name-words, or nouns; are they not, mother?"</p> + +<p>"Yes: I think you begin to see now what a <i>noun</i> is. And +let me say one thing more, and then you may run to see +Tom Burton."</p> + +<p>"What is it, mother?" inquired Walter.</p> + +<p>"When your uncle gave you a box of mixed shells last +winter, what did you do with them?"</p> + +<p>"I sorted them carefully, putting those of the same kind +together, so that I might learn their names, the places where +they are found, and the habits of the little animals that live +in them."</p> + +<p>"And just so we ought to treat words.

He picked it up as quick as he could, and scampered +back with it to his safe little hole.</p> + +<p>Finding that grandpa did him no hurt, mousie tried it +another day. After a while, he came out every time he +saw grandpa open the little basket, and picked up all the +crumbs that fell down.</p> + +<p>One day grandpa was very tired, and fell fast asleep after +he had eaten his cake.

It had braved the +snow and ice of winter, and was now putting forth its leaves +to the soft breezes and blue skies of spring.</p> + +<p>One day a party of boys and girls came to play near the +daisy-plant's home; and she thought she would surely be +trampled on and killed. But the children at last went away, +and daisy-plant breathed freely once more.</p> + +<p>But it was not long before she heard a child's voice cry, +"Papa, papa, I can run down this bank. Let me run down +this bank all by myself, dear papa." And, before papa could +say Nay, down ran little Emma Vincent, and stood close +beside daisy-plant.</p> + +<p>"Oh, look at this darling daisy, only look, papa!" cried +Emma; and in one little minute the child's finger and +thumb had tight hold of the young daisy-plant's only +flower.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_157" id="Page_157">[157]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 530px;"> +<img src="images/illus157.png" width="530" height="400" alt="Emma took up the whole plant" title="Emma took up the whole plant" /> +</div> + +<p>Tremble, now, daisy-plant; one little nip, and your beauty +and pride will be gone. But something else than this was +in store for poor daisy-plant. "I'll not gather the flower," +said Emma. "The whole plant shall go into my garden, +papa, just as it is."</p> + +<p>Daisy-flower did not know its danger then, or maybe it +would have shut up its eye, and hung down its head, for +very fear. But, instead of this, it looked up as boldly as +a modest daisy well could into the little girl's face.</p> + +<p>So the whole plant was taken up by its roots; and Emma +bore it carefully home, and with the aid of John, the gardener's +boy, set it out nicely in her little flower-bed.</p> + +<p>Emma took great care of daisy-plant, watering it at +night, and protecting it from the hot sun at noon. Soon it +began to thrive as bravely as in its own native dell. It was +very happy, and could spare a flower or two without missing +them so very much.</p> + +<p>But one day, when she returned from a week's visit to +her aunt, Emma missed her darling daisy-plant. "O papa!"<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_158" id="Page_158">[158]</a></span> +cried she, "somebody has taken it away,—my precious +daisy."</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/illus158.png" width="300" height="242" alt="Papa had found it" title="Papa had found it" /> +</div> + +<p>Yes, a new gardener's boy, who had thought that it was +a weed, had pulled it up, and thrown it, he could not tell +where. It was hard to comfort Emma. Such a beautiful +flower it seemed in her eyes! And she had found it, and +put it in her own garden, and watched it and watered it so +carefully!</p> + +<p>And what had become of poor daisy-plant? Had it +withered and perished? No, no! daisy-plants don't give +up life and hope so easily as that. Daisy-plant was safe +yet, though it had been thrown on a heap of rubbish.</p> + +<p>The next day papa came in with something he had covered +with a handkerchief. Emma took away the handkerchief, +and clapped her hands for joy. "My own dear +daisy," she said: "yes, I am sure it is the same. Thank +you, dear papa!"</p> + +<p>Yes, papa had found it on the rubbish, had washed it from +dirt, and clipped off its broken leaves, and put it into a<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_159" id="Page_159">[159]</a></span> +pretty little flower-pot with some fine rich mould; and there +was daisy as brisk and bright as ever.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/illus159.png" width="300" height="237" alt=""How can I show my thanks?"" title=""How can I show my thanks?"" /> +</div> + +<p>Summer passed away, and autumn came, and Emma was +as fond as ever of her dear plant. But Mrs. Vincent, Emma's +mother, had been very ill, and Dr. Ware had cured her.</p> + +<p>One day, while Emma was in the parlor with her father +and mother, Dr. Ware came in.</p> + +<p>"I need not come again," he said: "I am here now to say +good-by. You will not want any more of my medicines."</p> + +<p>Then Emma's papa thanked Dr. Ware very much for the +skill and care which he had shown in the case; and Emma's +mother said, "I hope to show you some day how grateful I +am, Dr. Ware."</p> + +<p>"What can I do to let him know how much I thank +him?" thought Emma. "I will give him my little daisy-plant," +said she. So she took it to Dr. Ware; and he was +so much pleased, that he took her on his knee and kissed +her. But I am not sure that a little tear did not drop on +Daisy-flower, as Emma put it into the doctor's hand.</p> +<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_160" id="Page_160">[160]</a></span></p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> +<img src="images/illus160.png" width="600" height="268" alt="Winifred Waters" title="Winifred Waters" /> +</div> + + + + +<h2>WINIFRED WATERS.</h2> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> +<img src="images/music.png" width="600" height="648" alt="Music" title="Music" /> +</div> +<div class="center"><small>[<i>Transcriber's Note: You can play this music (MIDI file) by clicking</i> <a href="music/novmusic.midi">here</a>.]</small></div> + + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0" summary="Second and Third Verses"> +<tr><td align='left'>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 https://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 +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

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 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/24942-h/images/a.png b/24942-h/images/a.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index

But Ruth, being an aunt, felt she must keep up the dignity +of one; and so she used to treat Mary as if Mary were a little girl. + +They had not seen each other for nearly a year; and, when they met, +Mary, who was fond of mischief, acted as if she were really younger than +Ruth, though she well knew she was nine years older. + +"Aunt Ruth," said Mary, "have you any objection to my going out in the +grove to swing?" + +"None at all, my dear," said Ruth; "but I will go with you, lest you +should get hurt." + +"Thank you, aunty," replied Mary. "Now let us see who can run the +faster." + +Mary started off at a run towards the swing; but Ruth called her back, +and said, "Stop, my dear, you will wet those nice new shoes in the damp +grass; and then your mother will blame me for not taking better care of +you. We will go by the gravel road to the grove." + +"Yes, ma'am," answered Mary, turning her head to hide her smiles; and +then, seeing a flower, Mary cried, "Oh! what a beautiful flower! Tell me +what it is, aunty. I think I never saw one like it before. What a +heavenly blue! And how nicely the edges are fringed!" + +"Yes, my dear: that is a fringed gentian," said Ruth. "It is one of the +latest of our wild autumn flowers; and I am not surprised that you +admire it." + +"It is indeed lovely," exclaimed Mary. "You must teach me all about +these wild flowers, aunty; for we city girls have few opportunities of +seeing them." + +"Yes, my dear niece, I will teach you," returned Ruth. "I want you to +learn a lesson of some kind every day you are with us." + +Mary burst out into a laugh that she could not control. + +"Why, what are you laughing at, my dear?" asked Aunt Ruth. + +But Mary, to escape replying to the question, ran and took hold of the +swing. "Now for it, aunty!" said she. + +Mary sat down in the swing, and Ruth pushed her from behind; and, after +she had swung enough, Ruth took her to the barn. But here, I regret to +say, the sight of a pile of hay on the barn-floor was too much for Niece +Mary. She seemed to lose all her reverence at once. + +Seizing Aunt Ruth, she threw her on the hay, and covered her up with it, +crying out, "You precious little aunty, I must have a frolic, or I shall +die. So forget that you are an aunt, and try to remember that you are +nothing, after all, but a darling little girl." + +Ruth, though at first surprised, was too sensible a girl to be offended. +Papa came in; and, seeing aunt and niece on the hay, he covered them +both up with it, till they begged to be let out, and promised to be +good. + +He was just from the garden, and had thrown down his hoe, rake, and +watering-pot, and taken off his straw-hat. But the hat suddenly +disappeared, and papa wondered where it was. Niece Mary had slipped it +under the hay. + + EMILY CARTER. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +DREADFULLY CHEATED. + + +"UNCLE," said George, "what makes you call that great clumsy dog +'Watch'? A watch goes 'tick, tick,' as busy as can be all the time; and +this dog is a lazy old fellow." + +"I know that," said Uncle Henry; "but he is called Watch, because he +acts the part of a watchman, or guard, to keep off thieves and +stragglers. + +"Don't you know how he barks when any one comes here whom he does not +know? He will not let a stranger come near the house after dark, without +giving notice. I do not suppose it would be possible for any of us to +come into the house without his knowing it." + +"I mean to try," said George, "and see if I cannot cheat you, old +fellow." And Watch looked up in his face with a very knowing wink, which +seemed to say, "Don't try to be too smart, or you may get into trouble." + +Now, for all George called Watch "clumsy" and "lazy," he was very fond +of him; and many a nice frolic they had together. + +That very afternoon, while they were enjoying a grand tumble on the +grass, George's mother called him into the house to do an errand for +her. + +George had quite a long walk to take; and, when he got back, it was +quite dark. Just as he reached the garden-gate, he remembered what his +uncle had said that morning about Watch. + +"Now," said he to himself, "I'll just see if I cannot get into the house +without your knowing it, Master Watch; and, if I cannot, you are smarter +than I think." + +So George took off his shoes, and went stealing along on the soft grass, +looking like a little thief, until he came to the broad gravel-walk, +which he must cross to get round to the back of the house. + +He stopped for a minute, while he looked about for Watch, and soon spied +him lying at the front-door, with his black nose resting upon his great +white paws; and he seemed to be fast asleep. + +Then George very cautiously stepped upon the gravel-walk, first with one +foot, and then with the other. As he did so, Watch pricked up both ears; +but it was so dark, that George did not see them. + +So, thinking that the old dog had not moved, he went on very quickly, +and, as he thought, very quietly, when all at once, just as he was +beginning to chuckle at the success of his trick, he heard a gruff +"Bow-wow," and found himself flat upon the ground, with the dog upon his +back, and two rows of sharp white teeth very near his throat. + +Although George was hurt by the fall, and was a good deal frightened, he +had his wits about him, and said, "Watch, Watch, don't you know me, old +fellow?" + +I wish you could have seen Watch then, when he found that he had +mistaken his little friend for a thief. He jumped up and down, and cried +and whined as if he had been whipped, and was so mortified, and ashamed +of his mistake, that it was a long time before George could persuade him +to go into the house. + +At last they both went in, and George told his story; and when the +laughing was over, and old Watch had been patted and comforted by every +one, Uncle Henry said, "Well, George, we shall have to say that you were +both dreadfully cheated." + + AUNT TUTIE. + + + + +SUMMER'S OVER. + + + SUMMER'S over, summer's over! + See, the leaves are falling fast; + Flowers are dying, flowers are dying, + All their beauty's gone at last. + Now the thrush no longer cheers us; + Warbling birds forget to sing; + And the bees have ceased to wander, + Sipping sweets on airy wing. + + Winter's coming, winter's coming! + Now his hoary head draws near; + Winds are blowing, winds are blowing; + All around looks cold and drear. + Hope of spring must now support us; + Winter's reign will pass away; + Flowers will bloom, and birds will warble, + Making glad the livelong day. + + T. C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +A BAD BLOW. + + +LITTLE David came running home from school one winter afternoon. As he +passed through the yard, he saw the door of the cellar-kitchen standing +open, and heard some one down in the cellar, pounding, thump, thump, +thump. + +Little David ran down the steps to see who it was. + +He saw a great blazing fire in the wide fireplace, and three big pots +hanging on the crane over it; and his mamma, Leah, Jane, and Aunt Jinny, +making sausages; and John Bigbee, the colored boy, with a wooden mortar +between his knees, and an iron-pestle in his hand, pounding, thump, +thump, thump, in the mortar. + +Little David ran to John, and asked, "What's in there?" but did not wait +for an answer. He drew in his breath as hard as he could, and blew into +the mortar with all his might. + +A cloud of fine black pepper flew up into his mouth, nose, and eyes. How +he did sneeze and strangle and cry! + +Leah ran for a basin of cold water. His mamma got a soft linen cloth, +and washed away all the pepper and most of the pain. + +When he stopped crying, she said, "Little David, DON'T MEDDLE." + + D. D. H. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE ANVIL CHORUS. + + + CLINK, clink, clinkerty clink! + That is the tune at morning's blink; + And we hammer away till the busy day, + Weary like us, to rest doth sink. + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + From useful labor we will not shrink; + But our fires we'll blow till the forges glow + With a lustre that makes our eyelids wink. + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + A chain we'll forge with many a link: + We'll pound each form while the iron is warm, + With blows as rapid as one may think. + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + Our faces may be as black as ink; + But our hearts are as true as man ever knew: + Kindly on all we look and think. + Clink, clink, clinkerty clink! + + OXFORD'S JUNIOR SPEAKER. + +[Illustration] + + + + +PAUL. + + +"FOUR years is very old: I am almost a man," said wee Paul. "Now I can +wear papa's coat and hat, and use his gold-topped cane." + +He put on the coat. It took some time. + +"If the end was cut off, and the thickening taken out, it would be a +nice fit. The hat is too tall for a man of my size; but it keeps all my +head dry. I shall save an umbrella." + +He would also save his eyes; for they were not needed in the top of the +hat, and he could feel his way with his feet. He pitied the horses who +wore blinders, and wondered how they could go so fast. He tried to step +off boldly, but fell over the cane, and smashed the hat. Jane had to +come and hunt for him under the coat. + +"Don't cry, child," said Jane, shaking the dust from him. "Come now, and +have a ride on the rocking-horse." + +"He's too slow for me," cried Paul loudly; "and a man of my age won't be +_shooken_, Jane!" + +Paul went out and sat beside Fido, on the basement-steps. He made his +mouth into a funny round O, and grew purple in the face, trying to +whistle Yankee Doodle. + +"Don't go off the bricks, child," said Jane, opening a window. + +"I'll take care of myself," said Paul. Then he told Fido that Jane had +put it into his head to go off the bricks, and that it would be her +fault if he did. + +Fido began to bark and jump to coax his young master away. He had such +fine times when Jane took them out to walk, that he wanted to go again. +Paul knew his mamma had forbidden his leaving the brick walk in front of +their home; but he longed to go. He put one foot off the bricks, then +the other, and away he ran, Fido barking beside him. + +Paul ran across two streets, and reached the Public Garden quite out of +breath. He said it was fine fun; but he really was not so happy as he +was when sitting on his mother's steps. He walked slowly to the pond. He +thought he would catch some fish, and give them to Jane, and perhaps she +would not tell his mother. + +"Here, Fido, go catch fish!" he cried, pointing to the water. + +Fido jumped in, and chased a chip with all his might. Paul scolded him +well for not catching a fish. The little boy was cross, because he knew +he was doing wrong; and when Fido got the chip at last, and laid it at +Paul's feet, the child drove him into the water again. + +Fido was a small dog, and grew tired very soon. His paws moved slowly, +and he had hard work to keep his tiny nose out of the water. He cried +for help. + +"Poor dog, he will drown!" said a lady upon the bridge. + +Paul had been so cross that he forgot dear little Fido could be in +danger. He began to cry aloud, and rushed to the edge of the pond to +save his pet. + +"Dear Fido, don't die!" sobbed Paul, stretching out his hands; but he +lost his balance, and fell into the water. + +Paul and Fido might both have been drowned if the people on the bridge +had not run to save them. The street and number of Paul's house were +printed on Fido's collar: so they carried the two there. Paul's mother +cried when she saw the sad plight her little boy was in; and he was +quite sick for a few days. + +"We'd better mind mother, and let Jane go with us always, if she is an +old fuss!" said Paul to Fido, the first time they were alone together. +And Fido gave a deep sigh that meant yes. + + HELEN C. PEARSON. + +[Illustration: ] + + + + +THE CAT AND THE BOOK. + + OH, dear me! what a deal of knowledge + It must take to read books, and fit for college! + But, if cats are not able to read a single letter, + They can catch mice, and climb trees; and is not that better? + + Now, if these little rhymes are not wholly to your taste, + Bear in mind they are supposed to be by a cat, and written in haste. + + + + + +LITTLE PIGGY. + + +ONE day my brother Richard brought a little pig in-doors from the +farm-yard. "Squeak, squeak!" cried the little thing as it nestled in +Dick's arms. + +As soon as we all had looked at it, my mother wished Dick to take it +back to the sow. "No," said Dick: "she has too many piggies to bring up. +I think we must kill this one." We all begged him not to kill it; and +after some talk it was settled that I should have it, and try to bring +it up. + +So I took piggy under my charge. I named him "Dob." I fed him on +skim-milk with a wooden spoon; and he soon looked for his meal as +regularly as I looked for my breakfast. I made him a bed in a basket +with some hay and a bit of flannel; but he soon outgrew the basket, and +we then made him a bed under the kitchen-stairs. + +When he grew big enough, he was sent into the farm-yard to get his +living among the other pigs; but he would always run after me, and +follow me into the house like a dog. I had only to call out, "Dob, Dob!" +at the gate, and Dob would be sure to come. + +One day he followed me in-doors with a bit of hay in his mouth. He ran +down stairs, and left this bit of hay where he used to sleep, under the +kitchen-stairs. He then ran off, and soon returned with some more hay in +his mouth, and put it in the same place. "Well, I declare!" said cook, +"this pig has as much sense as a Christian. Now he has made his bed, I +wonder whether he'll come and sleep in it?" + +In the evening, when we were at tea, Dob came to the kitchen-door, +crying, "Ugh, ugh!" and, when they let him in, he trotted off to his +bed. We all thought this very clever on the part of Dob; and cook said, +"_He was the knowingest little piggy she ever seed!_" + + T. C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +CAMPING OUT. + + +ALBERT lives in the Far West. He is only seven years old. He has no +brothers or sisters to play with him, so he has to amuse himself. He +makes railroads and bridges and houses with bits of rock. He has a toy +shovel and a pickaxe and a little axe that will cut. He is very happy +playing with them for hours. + +Sometimes he gets tired of his playthings, and says, "Mamma, what shall +I do now?" Then his mamma tells him that he may read his lesson. If he +has been a good boy, she reads some of the stories in "The Nursery" to +him, which pleases him very much. + +One day last autumn, his papa and mamma went over on the Neosho River, +in the Indian Territory (you must look on the map and see where that +is), to gather some hickory-nuts and walnuts. Of course they took Albert +with them. + +[Illustration] + +It was a bright sunny morning when they started off across the prairie. +They saw a great many prairie-chickens, and two big gray wolves, as they +went along. Albert was in great glee; but it was a long ride, and the +little boy was very glad when they came in sight of the sparkling waters +of the Neosho, just as the sun was setting. + +Papa had just time to pitch a tent and build a big fire before it was +quite dark. Then they all sat down by the fire, and ate their supper. +Then mamma made up a nice bed with blankets and shawls, and put Albert +into it. They were all glad to go to bed early. + +The wolves barked at them several times during the night, but were too +much afraid of the fire to venture very near. Albert slept as sweetly as +if he had been in his own little bed at home, instead of being out under +the starry sky, far away from a house. When he opened his eyes next +morning, it was yet quite dusk; but papa was getting ready to go to a +pond to shoot some ducks for breakfast. Albert wished to go too; and +papa kindly consented. When they came to the pond, papa told Albert to +sit down on a log a little way off, so that he would not scare the +ducks, and wait until he called him. + +Albert promised to do so, and waited for a while; but it seemed to him a +very long time, and he began to grow tired and hungry. He called several +times; but no one answered, as papa did not wish to scare the ducks. +Then he thought he would go back to mamma at the camp. + +He walked on bravely at first; but by and by, as he saw no sign of the +camp, and the trees seemed to look all alike, he began to be afraid. He +feared lest he might see a wolf or other wild animal; and then he began +to cry, and to call loudly. Some Indians across the river called to him, +and asked him what was the matter. + +[Illustration] + +Albert was not afraid of them; but he did not stop crying. At last mamma +heard him, and was just going to look for him, when papa overtook him, +and brought him to the camp. He had scared the ducks so that they had +none for breakfast, after all. + +But mamma had the coffee-pot boiling by the fire; and the bread and +butter, cakes, cold meat, and other things from the luncheon-basket, +tasted very good in the cool autumn air. + +Albert was much ashamed of having been such a coward, and promised never +to be so foolish again. If he had done as his papa told him, he would +not have got into such trouble. + +After breakfast they all went to work in earnest, and soon had a fine +lot of nuts. Albert also picked up some pretty shells by the +river-brink. Then papa and mamma packed up the blankets, +luncheon-basket, and other things, and, giving a parting look at the +bright river, they turned the horses' heads towards home. + + GRACE MOEREN. + +[Illustration] + + + + +A FIELD-DAY WITH THE GEESE. + + +JOSEPH wants to be a soldier; but, not having any boys to drill, he has +to content himself with drilling his uncle's geese. See them on parade! +He has opened the gate: he has cried out, "Forward, march!" and in come +the geese, black and white, single file. + +Joseph stands proudly aside, as a commander ought to, while reviewing +his troops. He has a flag in his hand. His cousin Richard is the +trumpeter. Mary looks on with admiration, and does not remark that Fido, +the sly dog, is trying to find out what she has good to eat in her +basket. + +Now let me tell you a few facts about geese. They have the reputation of +being stupid; but Richard has not found them so. That leading goose goes +by the name of Capt. Waddle. He does not hold up his head as a captain +should; but he minds a good deal that Richard says to him, for he is +very fond of Richard, and tries to do all that he is told to do. + +I have heard of a goose who became very fond of a bull-dog. Grim, for +that was the dog's name, had saved her from the clutch of a fox; and +after that it seemed as if the poor goose could not do enough to show +her gratitude. Every day she would keep as near to Grim as she could; +and, when he was chained to his kennel, she would stay by, and show her +affection in many ways. + +At last the bull-dog was sent off to a neighboring town; and then the +poor goose lost her appetite, and seemed to pine so, that her owner, +Mrs. Gilbert, who was a humane woman, and took a great interest in dumb +animals, sent for Grim to come back. + +[Illustration] + +It would have pleased you to see the meeting. The instant the goose +heard Grim's familiar bark, she started up, and ran with outstretched +wings to greet him. She came as near to embracing him as a goose could. +Grim seemed well pleased with her delight, and barked his +acknowledgments in a tone that could not be mistaken. + +The goose soon regained her appetite, and was not again parted from her +dear Grim. The best of this story is, that it is true. So you see that +even geese are not so stupid but that they show gratitude to those who +befriend them. + +Indeed, geese seem to be constant in their affections. They know, also, +how to show anger. I remember once seeing a boy tease some geese in +order to make them angry. They ran after him in a rage, seized hold of +his clothes, and nipped him smartly to punish him for the insult. + +Once, in Scotland, a young goose became so fond of its master, that it +followed him everywhere, no matter how great the distance, and even +through the crowd and tumult of a city. + + UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +WHAT WILLY DID. + + WHEN the gas was lighted, + Willy's mamma said, + "Maggie, feed the children, + And put them both to bed." + + When the milk was eaten, + Maggie went for more: + So she put the baby + Down upon the floor. + + Then the naughty Willy + Climbed up for a match, + And he lit it quickly + With a little scratch. + + But it burnt his fingers + When the flame arose, + And suddenly he dropped it + On the baby's clothes. + + Up it blazed so fiercely, + That, when Maggie came, + There was little baby + Screaming in the flame. + + Maggie put the fire out, + And saved the baby too; + But Willy was so frightened + He knew not what to do. + + He was sorry, too, for baby, + With arms all burnt and sore; + And so he never meddled + With matches any more. + + H. F. W. + +[Illustration] + + + + +LEARN TO THINK. + + +WALTER DANE was in a hurry to go off to play at ball with some of his +schoolfellows; and so he did not give much thought to the lesson which +he had to learn. + +It was a lesson in grammar. Walter's mother took the book, and said, "I +fear my little boy finds it hard to put his thoughts on his lesson +to-day." + +"Try me, mother," said Walter. "I will do my best." + +"Then, I will put you a question which is not in the book," said mamma. +"Which is the heavier,--a pound of feathers, or a pound of lead?" + +"A pound of lead, to be sure!" cried Walter confidently. + +"There! you spoke then without thinking," said Mrs. Dane. "A little +thought would have made it clear to you that a pound is a pound, and +that a pound of feathers must weigh just as much as a pound of lead." + +"When I spoke, I was thinking that Tom Burton was out in the yard +waiting for me," said Walter. + +"Well, take your thoughts off from Tom Burton, and put them on the +question I am now about to ask you. What is a noun?" + +"A noun is a word used as the name of any object." + +"Very well. A noun, then, is a name-word." + +"But why is not every word a name-word just the same?" asked Walter. + +"Different sorts of words have different uses," said Mrs. Dane. "If I +say, '_Walter, come here_,' by the word _Walter_, I name an object or +person; and it is therefore a name-word, or noun. _Noun_ means _name_. +By the word _come_, I tell Walter what to do; and therefore _come_ is a +different sort of word from a name-word. _Come_ is a verb. By the word +_here_, I tell Walter _where_ he must come; and so _here_ is a different +sort of word from both _Walter_ and _come_. _Here_ is an adverb." + +"But, if I say '_Come_,' do I not name something?" asked Walter. + +"You certainly do not. What thing do you name? _Come_ is not an object +or thing; _come_ is not a person. You cannot say, 'Give me a _come_,' or +'Let me see a _come_.'" + +"But _dog_ is a name-word, and _tree_ is a name-word," cried Walter. "I +can say, 'Give me a dog,' 'Let me see a tree;' can I not?" + +"You certainly can, my son," said Mrs. Dane. + +"And sister, father, mother, sky, cloud, sun, moon, bread, butter, +horse, cow, book, picture, water, land, doll, cart, ball, bat, are all +name-words, or nouns; are they not, mother?" + +"Yes: I think you begin to see now what a _noun_ is. And let me say one +thing more, and then you may run to see Tom Burton." + +"What is it, mother?" inquired Walter. + +"When your uncle gave you a box of mixed shells last winter, what did +you do with them?" + +"I sorted them carefully, putting those of the same kind together, so +that I might learn their names, the places where they are found, and the +habits of the little animals that live in them." + +"And just so we ought to treat words. We must first _sort_ them, so as +to learn what their use is in speech, and how and where they ought to be +used. Grammar teaches us to sort words. Now run and play." + + UNCLE CHARLES. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + +THE BROTHERS THAT DID NOT QUARREL. + + + TWO little brothers, loving fair weather, + Played on the meadow, played there together; + Yet not quite lonely were they that day + On the bright meadow, while at their play. + + Six little swallows came and flew round, + Over the tree-tops, over the ground; + Butterflies, also, did not disdain + Near them to flutter, glad to remain. + + There on the herbage tender and green + Might these two brothers, playful be seen: + Never they quarrelled; no angry words, + Hastily uttered, shocked the dear birds. + + All through the daytime there the two played, + Sometimes in sunshine, sometimes in shade. + "And did not quarrel? Please stop your shams!" + "I tell you truly. Why, they were _lambs_!" + + IDA FAY. + +[Illustration] + + + + +GRANDPA AND THE MOUSE. + + +GRANDPA CRANE went into the city every morning. He had to go so far, and +it was so late when he came home to dinner, he thought he would like to +have something to eat while he was away. + +So every day, when he was ready to go to the cars, Aunt Emmie gave him a +little basket with a pretty round cover on it. + +Inside she put cookies or gingerbread, or plum-cake with ever so many +plums in it. Grandpa liked the plum-cake best of all the little basket +carried. + +The office he sat in was down on a wharf, where the water comes, and the +wind blows, just as if it were out at sea. + +When he had been there a long while, he would get his basket, and eat +what Aunt Emmie had put in it. As he was old, his hand would shake, and +let bits of cake fall on the floor. + +Now, a little gray mouse lived in a hole in that very floor, way up in a +corner. His bright eyes peeped out at Grandpa Crane when he was eating; +and he looked as though he would like to get those good bits if he could +muster courage to do it. + +One day mousie was so hungry, that he made bold to run at a crumb which +had fallen a good way from grandpa's feet. He picked it up as quick as +he could, and scampered back with it to his safe little hole. + +Finding that grandpa did him no hurt, mousie tried it another day. After +a while, he came out every time he saw grandpa open the little basket, +and picked up all the crumbs that fell down. + +One day grandpa was very tired, and fell fast asleep after he had eaten +his cake. Pretty soon he felt a pull at his soft white hair. He put up +his hand, and down ran mousie. + +Not getting as much to eat that day as he wanted, mousie had just walked +up grandpa's side to his shoulder, and then up on his head. Wasn't that +a queer place for a mouse to try to find something to eat? + + AUNT EMMIE. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +HOME FROM THE WOODS. + + + IT rains! and, hark! the rushing wind + Begins to moan and blow: + Take jug and basket, and come on. + For we have far to go. + + Don't fret and whimper, little one; + Here, my umbrella take: + The birds heed not the pouring rain; + Just hear the songs they make! + + And see how glad are leaf and bud + To get each cooling drop: + Come, soon it will be bright again, + For soon the rain will stop. + + FROM THE GERMAN. + + + + +THE SPECKLED HEN. + + +[Illustration] + +THE speckled hen walked all around the house, and saw the front-door +open. So she walked right in, and went up stairs. + +She peeped into the front-chamber, pecked a little at the carpet, and +clucked with surprise when she saw herself in the looking-glass. + +[Illustration] + +By and by she saw a wash-bowl standing on the top of the bureau. She +thought this would make a nice place for a nest. So she flew up to see; +but the bowl tipped over, and fell upon the floor. + +[Illustration] + +When the people came up stairs to see what was the matter, they found +that the wash-bowl was all broken in pieces, and the hen had made her +nest in the band-box in the corner of the room. + +They thought this a very saucy thing for a hen to do; but they did not +drive her out: they waited to see what she would do next. + +[Illustration] + +By and by the hen came off, and flew up on the window-sill. Then she +began to cackle very loud. I suppose she meant to say, "Go and look in +the band-box." + + W. O. C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +STORY OF A DAISY. + + +DEEP down in a snug little dell, beneath a high bank, near the roadside, +grew a wild daisy. It had braved the snow and ice of winter, and was now +putting forth its leaves to the soft breezes and blue skies of spring. + +One day a party of boys and girls came to play near the daisy-plant's +home; and she thought she would surely be trampled on and killed. But +the children at last went away, and daisy-plant breathed freely once +more. + +But it was not long before she heard a child's voice cry, "Papa, papa, I +can run down this bank. Let me run down this bank all by myself, dear +papa." And, before papa could say Nay, down ran little Emma Vincent, and +stood close beside daisy-plant. + +"Oh, look at this darling daisy, only look, papa!" cried Emma; and in +one little minute the child's finger and thumb had tight hold of the +young daisy-plant's only flower. + +[Illustration] + +Tremble, now, daisy-plant; one little nip, and your beauty and pride +will be gone. But something else than this was in store for poor +daisy-plant. "I'll not gather the flower," said Emma. "The whole plant +shall go into my garden, papa, just as it is." + +Daisy-flower did not know its danger then, or maybe it would have shut +up its eye, and hung down its head, for very fear. But, instead of this, +it looked up as boldly as a modest daisy well could into the little +girl's face. + +So the whole plant was taken up by its roots; and Emma bore it carefully +home, and with the aid of John, the gardener's boy, set it out nicely in +her little flower-bed. + +Emma took great care of daisy-plant, watering it at night, and +protecting it from the hot sun at noon. Soon it began to thrive as +bravely as in its own native dell. It was very happy, and could spare a +flower or two without missing them so very much. + +But one day, when she returned from a week's visit to her aunt, Emma +missed her darling daisy-plant. "O papa!" cried she, "somebody has +taken it away,--my precious daisy." + +[Illustration] + +Yes, a new gardener's boy, who had thought that it was a weed, had +pulled it up, and thrown it, he could not tell where. It was hard to +comfort Emma. Such a beautiful flower it seemed in her eyes! And she had +found it, and put it in her own garden, and watched it and watered it so +carefully! + +And what had become of poor daisy-plant? Had it withered and perished? +No, no! daisy-plants don't give up life and hope so easily as that. +Daisy-plant was safe yet, though it had been thrown on a heap of +rubbish. + +The next day papa came in with something he had covered with a +handkerchief. Emma took away the handkerchief, and clapped her hands for +joy. "My own dear daisy," she said: "yes, I am sure it is the same. +Thank you, dear papa!" + +Yes, papa had found it on the rubbish, had washed it from dirt, and +clipped off its broken leaves, and put it into a pretty little +flower-pot with some fine rich mould; and there was daisy as brisk and +bright as ever. + +[Illustration] + +Summer passed away, and autumn came, and Emma was as fond as ever of her +dear plant. But Mrs. Vincent, Emma's mother, had been very ill, and Dr. +Ware had cured her. + +One day, while Emma was in the parlor with her father and mother, Dr. +Ware came in. + +"I need not come again," he said: "I am here now to say good-by. You +will not want any more of my medicines." + +Then Emma's papa thanked Dr. Ware very much for the skill and care which +he had shown in the case; and Emma's mother said, "I hope to show you +some day how grateful I am, Dr. Ware." + +"What can I do to let him know how much I thank him?" thought Emma. "I +will give him my little daisy-plant," said she. So she took it to Dr. +Ware; and he was so much pleased, that he took her on his knee and +kissed her. But I am not sure that a little tear did not drop on +Daisy-flower, as Emma put it into the doctor's hand. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration: Music] + + + + +WINIFRED WATERS. + + + Music by T.

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.

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. diff --git a/24942.zip b/24942.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e7d6d26 --- /dev/null +++ b/24942.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
