Thomson. + Cincinnati, -- O -- + + + + + LITTLE PLAYFELLOWS. + + + + + THE LITTLE CAVALIER. + + [Illustration] + + +A little boy was playing with his hobby-horse one day, and making a +great deal of noise, when an old gentleman, who lived in the next +room, called to him and said, "Can you not play more quietly?" The +little boy answered, "It is raining and I can't go out of doors." The +old gentleman said, "But can you not make less noise, for I am sick +and need rest." The little boy said, "If that is the case, I will not +make any noise." When his mother came home, she praised him for his +kindness, and said he did right. Little Johnnie, for that was his +name, had forgotten all about the old gentleman, when, a week after, +a large box came to him on which was written, "To my young neighbor, +a souvenir of a rainy day." The box was full of beautiful lead soldiers +and cannons, with which he had a great deal of pleasure. When his +mother saw them she said, "You see, my son, kindness always receives +its reward." + + + + + THE LITTLE SAVOYARD. + + +There was once a little boy who came from Savoy to the City of Paris +with a fellow-countryman. Soon after arriving his countryman deserted +him, though he had promised his mother to take care of him. Little +Pierre did not know what to do all alone in this great city. He walked +around all day crying bitterly, but when evening came he thought of +a prayer his mother had taught him, and he repeated it: "My God, you +who watch over the little birds, oh! do not forsake the little +children." As he ended the prayer the pigeons of the city, which were +very numerous, flew about him, and one lit on his shoulder. He said +to it, "Beautiful bird, go and tell my mother to come and get me." A +lady passing by heard him repeat the prayer and give the message to the +bird. She knew at once that he was a good boy, so she took him to her +home, where she gave him nice clothes and plenty to eat. She sent a +letter to his mother, and while waiting for her to come to him he used +to go out and play with the pigeons. They would run to be caressed by +him, for they well knew that they could trust a child who prays. + + + + + THE GOAT AND HER KID. + + [Illustration] + + +Goats are not naturally vicious, but will defend themselves if +attacked. There was once a little boy in New York named Harry, who went +to visit his aunt in the country. This aunt had a goat named Grisette, +who had a little kid, and she told Harry that he could feed Grisette, +but he must not tease her. But Harry was very mischievous, and liked +to see the goat run on the hill-sides. To make her run, he would poke +her with a stick, when one day he stuck the stick in her nose, which +was more than Grisette could stand, so she put down her head, butted +him with her horns, and down he rolled to the bottom of the hill. Harry +was much bruised and had to be carried into the house and put to bed, +where he was confined for six weeks, thus losing most of his holiday. +Let this be a lesson to you, my little friends, never to torment any +animals. + + + + + THE DOG OF THE REGIMENT. + + [Illustration] + + +This dog is named Pompey; he is called the Dog of the Regiment, +because he has been with a regiment of soldiers for many years. He is +a wonderful dog; he can march on his hind legs, play the drum with +his paws, and pretend to be dead. Pompey has been very useful to his +regiment. Once he carried a dispatch through a fire of musketry; +another time he woke up a sleeping sentinel; and again he pointed out +a troupe of the enemy hidden in the woods. Finally he saved the life of +the surgeon of the regiment, who had been left to die on the field of +battle. Pompey is a friend to all the soldiers, from the colonel down. +You will see him in the picture, pretending to be a bear that he may +get a piece of sugar which the colonel's son is offering him. + + + + + THE LITTLE MARINERS. + + [Illustration] + + +George and his sister Lillie are having a nice time sailing their +little boat in the brook. Their mother told them they could play here, +for the water was not deep. She also told them a story about their +friend Emil, who could not swim, although his father was a fisherman. +Emil thought the water was not deep enough, so he went to the river +with his boat. In leaning over the bank to push it into the current, he +lost his balance and fell into the water. He would have been drowned +had not his father, who was fishing near, came to his rescue. There is +no fear for George and Lillie, for they will not disobey their mamma, +and no danger will come to them. + + + + + POOR GUSTAVE. + + +Little boys and girls often think their parents are severe because +they reprimand them for their faults, but they always know what is +best for them. There was once a little boy named Gustave, who had but +one eye. Gustave was naturally sweet and affectionate, but he was fond +of teasing, and this fault caused him to lose his eye. I will tell +you how it happened. One day he went to call on his cousin Frank. He +found him in his garden, trying to catch a beautiful butterfly for his +collection of insects. Gustave slipped up behind him slily, which made +the butterfly fly off. Frank turned suddenly and knocked Gustave over. +He fell on a large rosebush, one of the thorns of which penetrated his +left eye, destroying the sight forever. You see that little causes +often produce great effects. If Gustave had not been fond of teasing, +he would not have lost his eye. + + + [Illustration: COPYRIGHTED 1884 BY PETER G.

To make her run, he would poke -her with a stick, when one day he stuck the stick in her nose, which -was more than Grisette could stand, so she put down her head, butted -him with her horns, and down he rolled to the bottom of the hill. Harry -was much bruised and had to be carried into the house and put to bed, -where he was confined for six weeks, thus losing most of his holiday. -Let this be a lesson to you, my little friends, never to torment any -animals. - - - - - THE DOG OF THE REGIMENT. - - [Illustration] - - -This dog is named Pompey; he is called the Dog of the Regiment, -because he has been with a regiment of soldiers for many years. He is -a wonderful dog; he can march on his hind legs, play the drum with -his paws, and pretend to be dead. Pompey has been very useful to his -regiment. Once he carried a dispatch through a fire of musketry; -another time he woke up a sleeping sentinel; and again he pointed out -a troupe of the enemy hidden in the woods. Finally he saved the life of -the surgeon of the regiment, who had been left to die on the field of -battle. Pompey is a friend to all the soldiers, from the colonel down. -You will see him in the picture, pretending to be a bear that he may -get a piece of sugar which the colonel's son is offering him. - - - - - THE LITTLE MARINERS. - - [Illustration] - - -George and his sister Lillie are having a nice time sailing their -little boat in the brook. Their mother told them they could play here, -for the water was not deep. She also told them a story about their -friend Emil, who could not swim, although his father was a fisherman. -Emil thought the water was not deep enough, so he went to the river -with his boat. In leaning over the bank to push it into the current, he -lost his balance and fell into the water. He would have been drowned -had not his father, who was fishing near, came to his rescue. There is -no fear for George and Lillie, for they will not disobey their mamma, -and no danger will come to them. - - - - - POOR GUSTAVE. - - -Little boys and girls often think their parents are severe because -they reprimand them for their faults, but they always know what is -best for them. There was once a little boy named Gustave, who had but -one eye. Gustave was naturally sweet and affectionate, but he was fond -of teasing, and this fault caused him to lose his eye. I will tell -you how it happened. One day he went to call on his cousin Frank. He -found him in his garden, trying to catch a beautiful butterfly for his -collection of insects. Gustave slipped up behind him slily, which made -the butterfly fly off. Frank turned suddenly and knocked Gustave over. -He fell on a large rosebush, one of the thorns of which penetrated his -left eye, destroying the sight forever. You see that little causes -often produce great effects. If Gustave had not been fond of teasing, -he would not have lost his eye. - - - [Illustration: COPYRIGHTED 1884 BY PETER G.
