A short distance from -the house, they met an old gentleman -who was very kind, wealthy, and friendly, -and very fond of good children. His -residence was in a very splendid mansion,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> -in a village about two miles from -the cottage of Mr. Davis. He wore a -plain coat and an old-fashioned hat. -Owing to his advanced age, he made -use of spectacles—all which gave him -a very grave appearance. The girls, -who were then about ten years of age, -had been taught by their good and excellent -mamma, that aged people who -conduct themselves properly, should always -be treated with kindness, respect, -and attention. They, therefore, as they -came near the old gentleman, made a -polite and modest courtesy to him.</p> - -<p>Mr. Walker, (which was the name -of the old gentleman), spoke very kindly -to the girls, and inquired about their -health and other matters connected -with their family.

They -had all the comforts of life; and there -they were able to take a walk by the -side of their delightful river. They -could also raise their own fowls and -milk their own cows, all which was -very nice sport for them.</p> - -<p>They said there were many things -which people who live in the village -have that they, in their humble cottage, -could not have; yet they were quite -happy, as they never wished for any -thing which their kind parents were not -able to furnish them.</p> - -<p>The old gentleman was quite surprised -at their candid and simple manners, -as well as their wise and discreet -remarks, and left them, and returned -home, fully convinced that people who -live in cottages may be happy, though -they are poor, if they are only contented.</p> - -<p>All young persons should remember, -that contentment renders every good -thing that we may enjoy doubly sweet;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> -and that, without contentment, they -would be wretched, if they had the -richest palace for a dwelling.</p> -</div> - - - - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2><a name="ELIZA_AND_HARRIET" id="ELIZA_AND_HARRIET"></a>ELIZA AND HARRIET.</h2> - - -<p><span class="smcap">Eliza</span> and Harriet were two very -lovely girls. Eliza was twelve years -old, and Harriet, her little sister, was -six years old. Eliza was a very kind -and good girl, and extremely fond of -her little sister Harriet; who was also -a sweet, pleasant child. Whenever -their mamma purchased any thing for -Eliza, or if she had a present of any -thing, she always divided it equally -with Harriet; and, if she wished any -of her playthings, she would at once -lend them to her, and never quarrel -with her, or tease her.</p> - -<p>The house in which they lived stood -on a pleasant and delightful spot, from -which all the surrounding country could -be viewed. In rear of the house stood<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span> -a beautiful and stately sugar maple-tree, -the branches of which spread over -nearly all of the yard, and extended -over a part of the roof of the house. -Under this large tree, Eliza and Harriet -spent a great deal of time, when -they were not in school and the weather -was pleasant. There they sometimes -amused themselves with their dolls and -other playthings, and sometimes Eliza -would amuse Harriet with little stories -which had been told to her, or which -she had read in her little books. When -they took a walk together, Eliza would -take Harriet by the hand, and lead her -along very carefully, always keeping -her out of the dirt and wet places.</p> - -<p>One fine morning they arose very -early, and took a walk to inhale the -pure air of the hills and mountains, -just as the sun came forth to look upon -the beauties of creation, while the lark -soared high above them on its happy -wings. Eliza was delighted with the -sight; and, putting her left hand gently -on Harriet's shoulder, pointed to the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span> -Lark with her right hand. Harriet -took off her bonnet, and put up her right -hand to screen her eyes from the dazzling -rays of the sun, while she looked -at the beautiful bird. After they had -walked a little farther, they returned -home very cheerful and much refreshed.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 398px;"> - <img src="images/pg12img.png" width="398" height="388" alt="" /> - <div class="caption"><p><i>Eliza pointing to the Lark, soaring in -the sky.</i></p> -</div> -</div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span></p> - -<p>One day her little sister Harriet -wished her to teach her how to sew. -So Eliza very patiently threaded the -needle for her, made the knots in the -ends of the thread, and basted down -the hems for her, until Harriet was able -to do these things herself.</p> - -<p>Eliza takes care of her own clothes -and always folds them up neatly, and -shows her little sister to do so too; and, -therefore, she knows where they are -and can find them in the dark as well -as in the light. When she and Harriet -come home from school, she takes -the school books out of the basket, and -puts them in their proper place, and -never leaves them scattered about, to -be in the way of her mamma.</p> - -<p>Eliza and Harriet were both such -excellent children, that their mamma -scarcely ever had any occasion to chide -them or find fault with them; and, all -who were acquainted with them, esteemed -them very highly.</p> -</div> - - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span></p> - - - - -<h2><a name="THE_CROSS_GIRL" id="THE_CROSS_GIRL"></a>THE CROSS GIRL.</h2> - - -<p><span class="smcap">Huldah Jones</span> is a very cross and -peevish little girl.

During his whole life he had great regard for truth, and was -never known, under any circumstance, to make a false statement. - -When he was about six years old, a friend of his gave him a hatchet. -George thought it a very fine present and was constantly going about, -chopping every thing that came in his way. - -One very pleasant morning, he walked out into his father's garden with -his hatchet in his hand. It was a beautiful garden, in which were -flowers, of various kinds, such as pinks, lilies, lilachs, roses, &c. -which greeted the eye at every step. George was delighted with the -prospect around him. - -In the east end of the garden was a quantity of pea-bushes which had -been placed there by his excellent mother. These bushes were dry and -dead so that the hacking of George's hatchet on them did not do much -hurt, except to weaken their strength and make them less able to bear -the weight of peas that might grow on the pea-vines. - -But George had the misfortune thoughtlessly to try the edge of his -hatchet on the body of a beautiful young English cherry-tree which he -injured so much that it scarcely if ever got over it. - -On the following morning his papa, in his walk in the garden, observed -the injury done to his favourite cherry-tree, and after walking awhile, -returned to the house, and inquired of the different members of the -family whether any of them knew who had done the mischief, remarking, -at the same time, that he would not have taken five dollars for the -tree. No one was able to inform him, for there was no person in the -garden with George when he cut the tree. - -Presently George made his appearance with his hatchet in his hand. - -"George," said his papa, "do you know who killed that beautiful little -cherry-tree yonder in the garden?" - -[Illustration: _Little George with his Hatchet in his hand, and his -Papa pointing to the ruined Cherry-tree._] - -This was an unpleasant question, and George staggered under it for a -moment; then looking at his papa, he bravely cried out "I can not tell -a lie, papa; you know I can not tell a lie, I did it with my little -hatchet!" "Run to my arms, my dearest boy", said his papa, "you have -paid me for my tree a thousand times; I freely forgive you for killing -it; and I hope my son will always be hero enough to tell the truth, let -what will come." - -I hope all my young friends will be as honest as little George -Washington was, and remember _always to speak the_ TRUTH. - - - - -THE TWO COTTAGE GIRLS. - - -In a delightful town in New England, there lived a family of the name -of Davis. Their residence was in a neat little cottage in a beautiful -valley on the bank of a river, whose waters glided smoothly by the side -of their humble but happy mansion. Mr. Davis had two daughters who were -twins. Mrs. Davis took great pains to dress them alike, and always to -have them make a neat appearance. Their names were Helen and Maria. -In pleasant, warm weather, they often took a walk by the river, and -were much pleased with the delightful groves and scenery, which their -handsome valley presented to their view. - -[Illustration: _Helen and Maria meet an old Gentleman with his little -Dog by his side._] - -One fine morning they were neatly dressed by their mamma, and walked -out as usual. A short distance from the house, they met an old -gentleman who was very kind, wealthy, and friendly, and very fond of -good children. His residence was in a very splendid mansion, in a -village about two miles from the cottage of Mr. Davis. He wore a plain -coat and an old-fashioned hat. Owing to his advanced age, he made use -of spectacles--all which gave him a very grave appearance. The girls, -who were then about ten years of age, had been taught by their good -and excellent mamma, that aged people who conduct themselves properly, -should always be treated with kindness, respect, and attention. They, -therefore, as they came near the old gentleman, made a polite and -modest courtesy to him. - -Mr. Walker, (which was the name of the old gentleman), spoke very -kindly to the girls, and inquired about their health and other matters -connected with their family. Helen, who was not as diffident as Maria, -answered Mr. Walker very frankly and modestly, and in such an artless -manner that he was much pleased. - -He inquired of them whether they would not prefer a residence in the -village. They both informed him, that they chose rather to remain in -their cottage than in any other place. They had all the comforts of -life; and there they were able to take a walk by the side of their -delightful river. They could also raise their own fowls and milk their -own cows, all which was very nice sport for them. - -They said there were many things which people who live in the village -have that they, in their humble cottage, could not have; yet they -were quite happy, as they never wished for any thing which their kind -parents were not able to furnish them. - -The old gentleman was quite surprised at their candid and simple -manners, as well as their wise and discreet remarks, and left them, and -returned home, fully convinced that people who live in cottages may be -happy, though they are poor, if they are only contented. - -All young persons should remember, that contentment renders every good -thing that we may enjoy doubly sweet; and that, without contentment, -they would be wretched, if they had the richest palace for a dwelling. - - - - -ELIZA AND HARRIET. - - -Eliza and Harriet were two very lovely girls. Eliza was twelve years -old, and Harriet, her little sister, was six years old. Eliza was -a very kind and good girl, and extremely fond of her little sister -Harriet; who was also a sweet, pleasant child. Whenever their mamma -purchased any thing for Eliza, or if she had a present of any thing, -she always divided it equally with Harriet; and, if she wished any of -her playthings, she would at once lend them to her, and never quarrel -with her, or tease her. - -The house in which they lived stood on a pleasant and delightful spot, -from which all the surrounding country could be viewed. In rear of the -house stood a beautiful and stately sugar maple-tree, the branches of -which spread over nearly all of the yard, and extended over a part of -the roof of the house. Under this large tree, Eliza and Harriet spent -a great deal of time, when they were not in school and the weather was -pleasant. There they sometimes amused themselves with their dolls and -other playthings, and sometimes Eliza would amuse Harriet with little -stories which had been told to her, or which she had read in her little -books. When they took a walk together, Eliza would take Harriet by the -hand, and lead her along very carefully, always keeping her out of the -dirt and wet places. - -One fine morning they arose very early, and took a walk to inhale the -pure air of the hills and mountains, just as the sun came forth to look -upon the beauties of creation, while the lark soared high above them -on its happy wings. Eliza was delighted with the sight; and, putting -her left hand gently on Harriet's shoulder, pointed to the Lark with -her right hand. Harriet took off her bonnet, and put up her right hand -to screen her eyes from the dazzling rays of the sun, while she looked -at the beautiful bird. After they had walked a little farther, they -returned home very cheerful and much refreshed. - -[Illustration: _Eliza pointing to the Lark, soaring in the sky._] - -One day her little sister Harriet wished her to teach her how to sew. -So Eliza very patiently threaded the needle for her, made the knots in -the ends of the thread, and basted down the hems for her, until Harriet -was able to do these things herself. - -Eliza takes care of her own clothes and always folds them up neatly, -and shows her little sister to do so too; and, therefore, she knows -where they are and can find them in the dark as well as in the light. -When she and Harriet come home from school, she takes the school books -out of the basket, and puts them in their proper place, and never -leaves them scattered about, to be in the way of her mamma. - -Eliza and Harriet were both such excellent children, that their mamma -scarcely ever had any occasion to chide them or find fault with them; -and, all who were acquainted with them, esteemed them very highly. - - - - -THE CROSS GIRL. - - -Huldah Jones is a very cross and peevish little girl. When she wishes -any thing, she always whines or frets at the time she asks for it; and, -never speaks in a pleasant manner. - -[Illustration: _Mrs. Jones washing Huldah's face, so that she could go -to school._] - -When it is time for Huldah to go to school, and her mamma wishes to -wash her face and hands, and comb her hair, she always murmurs or -appears sulky, and scarcely ever bids her mamma good morning, or sets -off cheerful and happy as good girls do. I hope none of my young female -friends are like Huldah Jones. - - - - -THE IMPRUDENT BOY. - - -Peter was always inclined to do what was not prudent, and would -not mind what was said to him. At one time he would get upon the -window-seat, and be in imminent danger of falling out of the window; -at another time he would climb up on the back of a chair, so as to be -in danger of falling when the person should rise who was sitting on the -chair. - -One day Peter wished to have some apples; and, his mamma told him that -she would send for some to the orchard as soon as the hired man should -come in to his dinner. Peter, who was then but six years old, told his -mamma, that he could climb the tree and get some himself. His mamma -answered him, that she feared he would fall and hurt him badly. He -waited a few moments for the man to come; and, as soon as his mamma was -out of sight, ran to the orchard, got into one of the trees, fell, and -broke his arm. Poor Peter wept bitterly, when the Doctor came to set -the broken bone! - -[Illustration: _Peter falling from the Apple-tree._] - - - - -BENJAMIN OLDS, - -HAS ALSO FOR SALE - -COBB'S SERIES - -OF - -SCHOOL BOOKS, - -COMPRISING - -A SPELLING, READING, AND ARITHMETICAL COURSE. - - -SPELLING COURSE. - - Cobb's First Book, - Cobb's Spelling Book, - Cobb's Expositor, - Cobb's School Dictionary. - - -READING COURSE. - - Cobb's Juvenile Reader, No. 1, - Cobb's Juvenile Reader, No. 2, - Cobb's Juvenile Reader, No. 3, - Cobb's Sequel to the Juvenile Readers, - Cobb's North American Reader. - - -ARITHMETICAL COURSE. - - Cobb's Arithmetical Rules and Tables, - Cobb's Explanatory Arithmetick, No. 1, - Cobb's Explanatory Arithmetick, No. 2, - Cobb's Ciphering-Book, No. 1, - Cobb's Ciphering-Book, No. 2. - - - - -Transcriber's Note: - -The following textual errors have been corrected: - -Page 12, added missing period, "they returned home very cheerful and -much refreshed." - -Page 13, changed "essteemed" to "esteemed", "all who were acquainted -with them, esteemed them very highly." - -Page 15, added missing period, "I hope none of my young female friends -are like Huldah Jones." - -Otherwise the text has been left as printed. - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's Pretty Verses for All Good Children, by Unknown - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PRETTY VERSES *** - -***** This file should be named 60207.txt or 60207.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/0/2/0/60207/ - -Produced by hekula03, Rachel and the Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This book was -produced from images made available by the HathiTrust -Digital Library.) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
