+THE AUNT AND THE NIECE.
+
+
+[Illustration: A]UNT RUTH was only nine years old, while her niece Mary
+was nineteen. 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.

+
+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."

+
+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.

+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."

+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!

+
+
+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.

+
+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!_"

+
+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.

+
+
+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.

+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.

+
+
+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."

+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_!"

+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?

+
+
+ 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.

+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."

+
+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.

+ Music by T. CRAMPTON.
+
+ 1. Winifred Waters sat and sighed
+ Under a weeping willow;
+ When she went to bed she cried,
+ Wetting all the pillow;
+ Kept on crying night and day,
+ Till her friends lost patience;
+ "What shall we do to stop her, pray?"
+ So said her relations.
+
+ 2. Send her to the sandy plains,
+ In the zone called torrid;
+ Send her where it never rains,
+ Where the heat is horrid.
+ Mind that she has only flour
+ For her daily feeding;
+ Let her have a page an hour
+ Of the driest reading.
+
+ 3. When the poor girl has endured
+ Six months of this drying,
+ Winifred will come back quite cured,
+ Let us hope, of crying.
+ Then she will not day by day
+ Make those mournful faces,
+ And we shall not have to say,
+ "Wring her pillow cases."

+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
+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.

+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

+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up

+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To

+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

+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.
