+
+BLIND MAN'S BUFF.
+
+When the win-ter winds are blow-ing,
+ And we ga-ther glad and gay,
+Where the fire its light is throw-ing,
+ For a mer-ry game at play,
+There is none that to my know-ing,--
+ And I've play-ed at games enough,--
+Makes us laugh, and sets us glow-ing
+ Like a game at Blind-man's Buff.
+
+
+
+
+THE DEAD ROBIN.
+
+All through the win-ter, long and cold,
+ Dear Minnie ev-ery morn-ing fed
+The little spar-rows, pert and bold,
+ And ro-bins, with their breasts so red.
+
+She lov-ed to see the lit-tle birds
+ Come flut-ter-ing to the win-dow pane,
+In answer to the gen-tle words
+ With which she scat-ter-ed crumbs and grain.
+
+One ro-bin, bol-der than the rest,
+ Would perch up-on her fin-ger fair,
+And this of all she lov-ed the best,
+ And daily fed with ten-der-est care.
+
+But one sad morn, when Minnie came,
+ Her pre-ci-ous lit-tle pet she found,
+Not hop-ping, when she call-ed his name,
+ But ly-ing dead up-on the ground.
+
+
+
+
+ALL THINGS OBEY GOD.
+
+"He saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth."
+
+God's works are very great, but still
+ His hands do not ap-pear:
+Though hea-ven and earth o-bey His will,
+ His voice we can-not hear.
+
+And yet we know that it is He
+ Who moves and governs all,
+Who stills the rag-ing of the sea,
+ And makes the showers to fall.
+
+Alike in mer-cy He be-stows
+ The sun-shine and the rain;
+That which is best for us He knows,
+ And we must not com-plain,
+
+Whe-ther He makes His winds to blow,
+ And gives His tem-pests birth,
+Or sends His frost, or bids the snow--
+ "Be thou up-on the earth."
+
+
+
+[Illustration: HE SAITH TO THE SNOW: BE THOU ON THE EARTH. JOB 37.6]
+
+[Illustration: SNOW-BALL-ING.]
+
+
+
+
+SNOW-BALL-ING.
+
+See these mer-ry ones at play,
+On this snowy New Year's Day:
+How they run, and jump, and throw
+Hand-fuls of the soft, white snow.
+You should hear them laugh and shout
+As they fling the snow about!
+'Tis by Frank and Gus alone
+That the balls are chief-ly thrown,
+While their cou-sins make and bring
+Other balls for them to fling.
+Ka-tie is pre-par-ing thus,
+Quite a store of balls for Gus;
+But her mer-ry sis-ter May
+From her task has run a-way,
+All that heavy lump of snow,
+At her cou-sin Gus to throw.
+E-dith is not very bold,
+And at first she fear-ed the cold;
+Now at last you see her run
+Down the steps to join the fun.
+
+
+
+
+THE SICK DOLL.
+
+
+Oh! is there any cause to fear
+ That dol-ly will be very ill?
+To cure my lit-tle dar-ling here,
+ Pray, doc-tor, use your ut-most skill.
+
+And dol-ly, if you would get well,
+ Hold out your arm, that Dr. Gray
+May feel your tiny pulse, and tell
+ What best will take the pain a-way.
+
+And do not say: "I will not touch
+ That nas-ty phy-sic, nor the pill."
+If lit-tle dolls will eat too much,
+ They must not won-der if they're ill.
+
+If your mam-ma ate too much cake,
+ She would be very poor-ly too,
+And nas-ty phy-sic have to take;
+ And, lit-tle dol-ly, so must you.

+NEL-LY'S PET LAMB.
+
+
+This lit-tle Lamb was brought to Nell
+ The day its old ewe mo-ther died,
+And, now it knows and loves her well,
+ It will not go from Nel-ly's side.
+A-long the hall, and up the stair,
+ You hear its lit-tle pat-ter-ing toes:
+Her Pet will fol-low every-where
+ A-bout the house, where Nel-ly goes.
+
+
+
+
+ROSE'S VA-LEN-TINE.
+
+
+ROSE.
+
+The post-man has been, dear mam-ma,
+ And has brought me a let-ter so fine;
+And Su-san has one, but it is not, by far,
+ So pret-ty a let-ter as mine.
+And, pray, will you read it to me,
+ Mam-ma, if I give you a kiss?
+I wish very much to know who it can be
+ That has sent me a let-ter like this.
+
+MAM-MA.
+
+To the lot of our dear lit-tle Rose
+ We trust every bless-ing may fall;
+And this is the prayer and the fond hope of those
+ Who love her most dear-ly of all.
+
+So now, lit-tle Rose, can you guess
+ Who sent you this let-ter by post?
+
+ROSE.
+
+Oh, yes, dear mam-ma, I can tell you; oh, yes!
+ For you, and pa-pa, love me most.
+
+
+
+
+"YOUR HEA-VEN-LY FA-THER FEED-ETH THEM."
+
+
+God loves His lit-tle birds; for all
+ His ten-der care He shows;
+A sin-gle spar-row can-not fall
+ But its Cre-a-tor knows.
+
+They do not sow, nor reap the corn,
+ Gar-ner nor barn have they;
+God gives them break-fast every morn,
+ And feeds them through the day.
+
+And this we know; for in His Word,
+ Where all His ways we read,
+We find that eve-ry lit-tle bird
+ He cares for, and will feed.
+
+God loves each lit-tle bird; but still
+ More ten-der is His care
+For chil-dren who o-bey His will,
+ Than for the fowls of air.
+
+
+
+[Illustration: YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDETH THEM. MATT. vi. 26.]
+
+[Illustration: PLOUGH-ING.]
+
+
+
+
+PLOUGH-ING.
+
+
+The lit-tle birds by God are fed
+But man must earn his dai-ly bread,
+ And work that he may eat;
+Striv-ing his best, as John does now,
+The broad ten-acre field to plough,
+ Where-in to sow the wheat.
+
+Old John, the plough-man, ne'er re-pines,
+Whe-ther it blows, or rains, or shines,
+ But hap-py still does seem;
+And Dick, who leads the fore-most horse,
+Goes whist-ling as he walks across
+ The field be-side the team.
+
+Let us per-form as glad-ly, too,
+The work our Mas-ter bids us do,
+ And then we need not fear;
+But when from earth-ly toil we rest,
+We all shall meet a-mong the blest
+ Who served Him tru-ly here.
+
+
+
+
+"HOW IS THE WEA-THER?"
+
+ Cold win-ter has come,
+ And the cru-el winds blow--
+The trees are all leaf-less and brown;
+ These two pret-ty rob-ins,
+ Oh, where shall they go
+To shel-ter their lit-tle brown heads from the snow?
+ Just look at the flakes com-ing down.
+
+But see, they have found a snug shel-ter at last,
+And hark, how they talk, while the storm whis-tles past:
+
+ Says Pol-ly to Dick-y,
+ "You're near-est the door,
+And you are the gen-tle-man, too:
+ Just peep out and see
+ When the storm will be o'er;
+Be-cause, if the wea-ther's as bad as be-fore,
+I think we will stay, do not you?"
+
+
+
+[Illustration: Far up a-mong the moun-tain peaks,
+His food the lone-ly Con-dor seeks.]

+NAUGH-TY NEL-LY AND HER NEW PA-RA-SOL.
+
+
+"No, Nel-ly! not to-day, my child!
+ I can-not let you take it;
+This cold March wind, so strong and wild,
+ Your pa-ra-sol, 'twould break it!"
+
+So said Mam-ma; but Nel-ly thought,
+ "I will take my new pre-sent:
+Tis mine; to please me it was bought;
+ The wea-ther's bright and plea-sant."
+
+So naugh-ty Nel-ly sli-ly took
+ What kind Mam-ma had bought her,
+And out she went--and, only look!
+ The wild March wind has caught her!
+
+The silk tore up, the ribs broke out,
+ In spite of Nel-ly's sway-ing;
+And peo-ple laugh-ed at her, no doubt--
+ That comes of dis-o-bey-ing.

+"THE FLOW-ERS AP-PEAR ON THE EARTH."

+(SONG OF SOLOMON, ii. 12.)
+
+
+Now the win-ter cold is past,
+ And blithe March winds are blow-ing,
+In shel-ter-ed nooks we find at last
+ Bright flow-ers of spring are grow-ing.
+
+Along the hedge-row's mossy bank,
+ Where ivy green is creep-ing,
+We see through weeds and net-tles rank
+ The dark-blue vi-o-let peep-ing.
+
+And in the sun-ny gar-den beds
+ Gay a-co-nites are show-ing,
+And snow-drops bend their grace-ful heads,
+ And cro-cus-es are glow-ing.
+
+God makes the buds and leaves un-fold,
+ All flow-ers are of His giv-ing;
+He guards them through the win-ter's cold,
+ He cares for all things liv-ing.

+
+
+ Har-ry and Tom, the o-ther day,
+ Went out in-to the yard to play;
+Their great de-light, in wea-ther bright,
+ Is blow-ing bub-bles with pipes of clay.
+
+ Tom took a ba-sin deep and wide,
+ And Har-ry brought his mug be-side;
+They fil-led them quite with soap-suds white,
+ And each to blow the big-gest tried.
+
+ Poor Tom, he blew with might and main,
+ And so, of course, he blew in vain;
+For all his trou-ble he made no bub-ble,
+ But Tom was brave and tried a-gain.
+
+ Till Har-ry said, "Dear Tom, you see,

+We must not grum-ble nor com-plain,
+Nor i-dly say, we hate the rain.
+
+God sends the rain; the dust-y ground
+It soft-ens in the fields a-round;
+The mois-ture ev-e-ry plant re-ceives,
+And springs a-fresh in flow-ers and leaves.
+
+Should God for-bid the show-ers to fall,
+Nor send us any rain at all,
+The ground would all grow hard and dry,
+And ev-e-ry liv-ing plant would die.
+
+All things would starve and per-ish then--
+No food for birds, nor beasts, nor men;
+Then do not mur-mur, nor com-plain,

+
+But all the shore just then was wet,
+ So Lu-cy took off shoes and socks;
+She knew that nurse would fume and fret
+ If they got spoilt by sand or rocks.
+
+But Ar-thur was so strong and big,
+ He thought that he was quite a man,
+And he, in boots, would stand and dig,
+ Which proved a very fool-ish plan.

+For soon his boots got wet and cold,

+"The Lord shall give that which is good,

+The seed was sown long months a-go,
+And, through the win-ter's cold and snow,
+We trust-ed that God's care would bring
+The green and ten-der blade in spring,
+Which che-rished by the sun and rain
+Of sum-mer, now has yield-ed grain
+In au-tumn, when the reap-er leaves
+His cot to cut and bind the sheaves,
+And load with them the nod-ding wain
+Which bears them home-ward from the plain.
+
+So God's great mer-cies thus a-bound;
+His love still brings the sea-sons round;
+His bless-ings fill our hap-py fields,
+And all our land its in-crease yields:
+So if we serve Him as we should,
+Our Lord will give us all things good;
+And He who doth the ra-vens feed
+Much more will give us all we need!

+Then to hoard your win-ter store
+ You are busy as a bee.

+
+"CON-TRA-RY WINDS"
+
+
+Both Tom and Will had e-qual skill
+ In mak-ing lit-tle boats and ships;
+They cut a-way a whole half day,
+ And co-vered all the floor with chips.
+
+And when the boys had made their toys,
+ They thought to put them to the test--
+To try which boat, when set a-float,
+ Would sail a-cross a tub the best.
+
+But Will and Tom, each blow-ing from
+ A dif-fe-rent side, you well may guess,
+No boats could go straight on, and so
+ They tacked a-bout in great dis-tress.
+
+Such heavy gales a-gainst their sails
+ Made both the boats go whirl-ing round;
+The sails got wet, the boats up-set,
+ And all the crew on board were drowned.

+CUT-TING NAMES.
+
+
+See where the spread-ing beech has made
+Be-neath its boughs a plea-sant shade
+ To screen them from the sun;
+There George, and Anne, and Ma-ry play,
+Or read up-on each sun-ny day,
+ When all their tasks are done.
+
+George has pulled out his knife, you see,
+And on the smooth-barked beech-en tree
+ Has some-thing found to do;
+He's carv-ing deep, and plain, and well
+The let-ters, one by one, which spell
+ His name and An-nie's too.
+
+His sis-ter An-nie, stand-ing by,
+Is watch-ing with a cu-ri-ous eye,
+ And won-der-ing at his skill.
+To men and wo-men when they grow,
+They'll come and find the beech tree show
+ Those names quite plain-ly still.
+
+
+
+
+THE CON-CERT.
+
+
+"See how it rains! We can-not go
+Our walk a-cross the fields; and so,
+Since Tom and Et-tie Holmes are come,
+And cous-in Fred has brought his drum,
+And some can sing, and o-thers play,
+We'll have a con-cert here to-day.
+You, Tom, must in the mid-dle stand,
+And mark the time, with stick in hand;
+You, bro-ther Ben, the tongs must take,
+For they will good tri-an-gles make;
+Hal clicks the 'bones,' and Em-me-line
+Will beat her lit-tle tam-bour-ine,
+And cous-in Fred will drum a-way,
+And Kate the con-cer-ti-na play.
+All must at-tend to Tom; and mind
+None play too fast, nor lag be-hind;
+And then, I'm sure, we all shall see
+How grand a con-cert this will be,
+And say this is the wis-est way
+To spend this wet Oc-to-ber day."

+PLAY-ING WITH WOOD-EN BRICKS.
+
+
+An In-di-an tem-ple on the floor
+ The chil-dren build with wood-en bricks,
+They've placed two pil-lars by the door,
+ And on the roof they now would fix
+A good tall spire, so Et-ty takes
+ A long-er brick, and sets it there;
+And though when-e'er we walk it shakes,
+ It will not tum-ble, I de-clare!
+
+
+
+
+CAUGHT IN THE FOG.
+
+Anne and Jane will long re-mem-her
+How, one morn-ing in No-vem-ber,
+As they both were home-ward stroll-ing,
+Round the Lon-don fog came roll-ing--
+First, a yel-low dark-ness fall-ing,
+Then a noise of link-boys call-ing,
+Cab, and 'bus, and cart-wheels rum-bling,
+Hor-ses on the pave-ment stum-bling,
+Peo-ple, in the smoke and smo-ther,
+Run-ning up a-gainst each other,
+No one see-ing, much less know-ing,
+Whi-ther he or she was go-ing.
+Little Jane clung to her sis-ter,
+While Anne com-fort-ed and kissed her,
+For the girls felt bro-ken-heart-ed,
+Fear-ing lest they should be part-ed.
+So they were when Char-lie found them,
+Lost a-mid the crowd a-round them,
+But so glad when they es-pied him,
+And came trip-ping home beside him.
+
+
+
+
+TRUST IN GOD.
+
+"He ma-keth light-nings for the rain;
+He bring-eth the wind out of His trea-sur-ies."--Ps. CXXXV. 7.
+
+
+Our God who reign-est up on high,
+Though light-nings flash a-cross the sky,
+And howl-ing tem-pests hur-ry by,
+We fear not these, for Thou art nigh
+ To all who trust in Thee.
+
+Though now the sky is o-ver-cast,
+And hea-vy rains are fall-ing fast,
+And storm and sleet go driv-ing past,
+And day by day the moan-ing blast
+ Sweeps dead leaves from the tree,
+
+No-vem-ber time, that seems so drear,
+When days are dark and win-ter near,
+Will pass at length, and Christ-mas cheer
+The last hours of the dy-ing year
+ With song and dance and mirth.
+
+And in due time Thy mighty pow-er
+Will give the spring, with sun and shower,
+The o-pen-ing leaf, the ear-ly flow-er,
+And birds in e-ve-ry wood-land bow-er
+ Will sing to glad-den earth.

+
+
+HOME FROM SCHOOL.
+
+Come, Meg and El-len, don't com-plain,
+For, see, the geese en-joy the rain,
+ And dog-gie does not fret;
+ And yet,
+The drops come rol-ling down his ears,
+And nose, and whisk-ers, just like tears;
+ Poor Mop, he's drip-ping wet!
+Our big um-brel-la co-vers three,
+And snug and dry we all may be,
+ And chat-ter as we go,
+ And show
+The grumb-ling peo-ple whom we meet
+That nei-ther wind, nor driv-ing sleet,
+ Can spoil our tem-pers.--No,
+We will not take such days as this,
+Nor any-thing God sends, a-miss,
+ But what we can-not cure
+ Endure;
+And this will prove a Gold-en Rule
+To prac-tise as we walk from school--
+ Of that we may be sure.
+
+
+
+
+THE KIT-TENS' BATH.
+
+
+One day when Lil-lie saw her cat
+ Sit down and lick a kit-ten's face;
+"No, puss," said she, "don't wash like that--
+ My bath will be the pro-per place.
+
+"I'll show you how to wash them, puss."
+ So in she dipped them one by one;
+Poor Min-nie mewed and made a fuss,
+ But Lil-lie only thought it fun.
+
+Puss feared her lit-tle kits would drown,
+ And did her best to get them out;
+While Lil-lie dipped them up and down,
+ And splashed the wa-ter all a-bout.
+
+Till nurse came up and saw the mess,
+ Took out the kit-tens, and instead
+Made thought-less Lil-lie quite un-dress,
+ And have her bath and go to bed.

+TURN-ING THE TRENCH-ER.
+
+
+If, at this old Christ-mas game,
+ Kate, who spins the trench-er, call
+Any play-er out by name,
+ He must catch it ere it fall.
+
+If "Move all" she should re-peat,
+ All sit still; but if she say
+"Twi-light," each must change his seat,
+ Or a for-feit he must pay.
+
+
+
+
+THE WISE MEN OF THE EAST.
+
+
+The East-ern sages watched the sky,
+ They looked from night till morn,
+There shone a bright, new star on high,
+ They knew that Christ was born.
+
+Then up they rose, and came from far,
+ They jour-neyed night and day,
+Led by the shin-ing of that star,
+ And found Him where He lay.
+
+There is not any need for us
+ To leave our homes be-hind,
+Through dis-tant lands to tra-vel thus
+ The Son of God to find.
+
+For home to us each Christ-mas Day
+ The new-born Sa-vi-our brings;
+Then shall we not our hom-age pay
+ Like those good East-ern kings?

+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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+
+When the win-ter winds are blow-ing,
+ And we ga-ther glad and gay,
+Where the fire its light is throw-ing,
+ For a mer-ry game at play,
+There is none that to my know-ing,--
+ And I've play-ed at games enough,--
+Makes us laugh, and sets us glow-ing
+ Like a game at Blind-man's Buff.
+
+
+
+
+THE DEAD ROBIN.
+
+All through the win-ter, long and cold,
+ Dear Minnie ev-ery morn-ing fed
+The little spar-rows, pert and bold,
+ And ro-bins, with their breasts so red.
+
+She lov-ed to see the lit-tle birds
+ Come flut-ter-ing to the win-dow pane,
+In answer to the gen-tle words
+ With which she scat-ter-ed crumbs and grain.
+
+One ro-bin, bol-der than the rest,
+ Would perch up-on her fin-ger fair,
+And this of all she lov-ed the best,
+ And daily fed with ten-der-est care.
+
+But one sad morn, when Minnie came,
+ Her pre-ci-ous lit-tle pet she found,
+Not hop-ping, when she call-ed his name,
+ But ly-ing dead up-on the ground.
+
+
+
+
+ALL THINGS OBEY GOD.
+
+"He saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth."
+
+God's works are very great, but still
+ His hands do not ap-pear:
+Though hea-ven and earth o-bey His will,
+ His voice we can-not hear.
+
+And yet we know that it is He
+ Who moves and governs all,
+Who stills the rag-ing of the sea,
+ And makes the showers to fall.
+
+Alike in mer-cy He be-stows
+ The sun-shine and the rain;
+That which is best for us He knows,
+ And we must not com-plain,
+
+Whe-ther He makes His winds to blow,
+ And gives His tem-pests birth,
+Or sends His frost, or bids the snow--
+ "Be thou up-on the earth."
+
+
+
+[Illustration: HE SAITH TO THE SNOW: BE THOU ON THE EARTH. JOB 37.6]
+
+[Illustration: SNOW-BALL-ING.]
+
+
+
+
+SNOW-BALL-ING.
+
+See these mer-ry ones at play,
+On this snowy New Year's Day:
+How they run, and jump, and throw
+Hand-fuls of the soft, white snow.
+You should hear them laugh and shout
+As they fling the snow about!
+'Tis by Frank and Gus alone
+That the balls are chief-ly thrown,
+While their cou-sins make and bring
+Other balls for them to fling.
+Ka-tie is pre-par-ing thus,
+Quite a store of balls for Gus;
+But her mer-ry sis-ter May
+From her task has run a-way,
+All that heavy lump of snow,
+At her cou-sin Gus to throw.
+E-dith is not very bold,
+And at first she fear-ed the cold;
+Now at last you see her run
+Down the steps to join the fun.
+
+
+
+
+THE SICK DOLL.
+
+
+Oh! is there any cause to fear
+ That dol-ly will be very ill?
+To cure my lit-tle dar-ling here,
+ Pray, doc-tor, use your ut-most skill.
+
+And dol-ly, if you would get well,
+ Hold out your arm, that Dr. Gray
+May feel your tiny pulse, and tell
+ What best will take the pain a-way.
+
+And do not say: "I will not touch
+ That nas-ty phy-sic, nor the pill."
+If lit-tle dolls will eat too much,
+ They must not won-der if they're ill.
+
+If your mam-ma ate too much cake,
+ She would be very poor-ly too,
+And nas-ty phy-sic have to take;
+ And, lit-tle dol-ly, so must you.

+NEL-LY'S PET LAMB.
+
+
+This lit-tle Lamb was brought to Nell
+ The day its old ewe mo-ther died,
+And, now it knows and loves her well,
+ It will not go from Nel-ly's side.
+A-long the hall, and up the stair,
+ You hear its lit-tle pat-ter-ing toes:
+Her Pet will fol-low every-where
+ A-bout the house, where Nel-ly goes.
+
+
+
+
+ROSE'S VA-LEN-TINE.
+
+
+ROSE.
+
+The post-man has been, dear mam-ma,
+ And has brought me a let-ter so fine;
+And Su-san has one, but it is not, by far,
+ So pret-ty a let-ter as mine.
+And, pray, will you read it to me,
+ Mam-ma, if I give you a kiss?
+I wish very much to know who it can be
+ That has sent me a let-ter like this.
+
+MAM-MA.
+
+To the lot of our dear lit-tle Rose
+ We trust every bless-ing may fall;
+And this is the prayer and the fond hope of those
+ Who love her most dear-ly of all.
+
+So now, lit-tle Rose, can you guess
+ Who sent you this let-ter by post?
+
+ROSE.
+
+Oh, yes, dear mam-ma, I can tell you; oh, yes!
+ For you, and pa-pa, love me most.
+
+
+
+
+"YOUR HEA-VEN-LY FA-THER FEED-ETH THEM."
+
+
+God loves His lit-tle birds; for all
+ His ten-der care He shows;
+A sin-gle spar-row can-not fall
+ But its Cre-a-tor knows.
+
+They do not sow, nor reap the corn,
+ Gar-ner nor barn have they;
+God gives them break-fast every morn,
+ And feeds them through the day.
+
+And this we know; for in His Word,
+ Where all His ways we read,
+We find that eve-ry lit-tle bird
+ He cares for, and will feed.
+
+God loves each lit-tle bird; but still
+ More ten-der is His care
+For chil-dren who o-bey His will,
+ Than for the fowls of air.
+
+
+
+[Illustration: YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDETH THEM. MATT. vi. 26.]
+
+[Illustration: PLOUGH-ING.]
+
+
+
+
+PLOUGH-ING.
+
+
+The lit-tle birds by God are fed
+But man must earn his dai-ly bread,
+ And work that he may eat;
+Striv-ing his best, as John does now,
+The broad ten-acre field to plough,
+ Where-in to sow the wheat.
+
+Old John, the plough-man, ne'er re-pines,
+Whe-ther it blows, or rains, or shines,
+ But hap-py still does seem;
+And Dick, who leads the fore-most horse,
+Goes whist-ling as he walks across
+ The field be-side the team.
+
+Let us per-form as glad-ly, too,
+The work our Mas-ter bids us do,
+ And then we need not fear;
+But when from earth-ly toil we rest,
+We all shall meet a-mong the blest
+ Who served Him tru-ly here.
+
+
+
+
+"HOW IS THE WEA-THER?"
+
+ Cold win-ter has come,
+ And the cru-el winds blow--
+The trees are all leaf-less and brown;
+ These two pret-ty rob-ins,
+ Oh, where shall they go
+To shel-ter their lit-tle brown heads from the snow?
+ Just look at the flakes com-ing down.
+
+But see, they have found a snug shel-ter at last,
+And hark, how they talk, while the storm whis-tles past:
+
+ Says Pol-ly to Dick-y,
+ "You're near-est the door,
+And you are the gen-tle-man, too:
+ Just peep out and see
+ When the storm will be o'er;
+Be-cause, if the wea-ther's as bad as be-fore,
+I think we will stay, do not you?"
+
+
+
+[Illustration: Far up a-mong the moun-tain peaks,
+His food the lone-ly Con-dor seeks.]
+
+[Illustration: The Co-bra has a dead-ly bite.
+And yet in mu-sic takes de-light.]

+[Illustration: In gen-tle ri-vers, still and clear,
+We see the shin-ing Dace ap-pear.]
+
+[Illustration: "HOW IS THE WEATHER?"]
+
+[Illustration: NELLY'S NEW PARASOL.]
+
+
+
+NAUGH-TY NEL-LY AND HER NEW PA-RA-SOL.
+
+
+"No, Nel-ly! not to-day, my child!
+ I can-not let you take it;
+This cold March wind, so strong and wild,
+ Your pa-ra-sol, 'twould break it!"
+
+So said Mam-ma; but Nel-ly thought,
+ "I will take my new pre-sent:
+Tis mine; to please me it was bought;
+ The wea-ther's bright and plea-sant."
+
+So naugh-ty Nel-ly sli-ly took
+ What kind Mam-ma had bought her,
+And out she went--and, only look!
+ The wild March wind has caught her!
+
+The silk tore up, the ribs broke out,
+ In spite of Nel-ly's sway-ing;
+And peo-ple laugh-ed at her, no doubt--
+ That comes of dis-o-bey-ing.
+
+
+
+
+"THE FLOW-ERS AP-PEAR ON THE EARTH."
+
+(SONG OF SOLOMON, ii. 12.)
+
+
+Now the win-ter cold is past,
+ And blithe March winds are blow-ing,
+In shel-ter-ed nooks we find at last
+ Bright flow-ers of spring are grow-ing.
+
+Along the hedge-row's mossy bank,
+ Where ivy green is creep-ing,
+We see through weeds and net-tles rank
+ The dark-blue vi-o-let peep-ing.
+
+And in the sun-ny gar-den beds
+ Gay a-co-nites are show-ing,
+And snow-drops bend their grace-ful heads,
+ And cro-cus-es are glow-ing.
+
+God makes the buds and leaves un-fold,
+ All flow-ers are of His giv-ing;
+He guards them through the win-ter's cold,
+ He cares for all things liv-ing.

+[Illustration: BLOWING BUBBLES.]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+JUMP! PUS-SY!
+
+
+Pus-sy, jump! for all the day
+You have time e-nough to play;
+Though at night, in barn and house,
+You must watch for rat or mouse.
+
+Pus-sy, jump! and if you do,
+We will pour some milk for you;
+Pus-sy, you shall be ca-ressed,
+If you try and jump your best.
+
+
+
+
+BLOW-ING BUB-BLES.
+
+
+ Har-ry and Tom, the o-ther day,
+ Went out in-to the yard to play;
+Their great de-light, in wea-ther bright,
+ Is blow-ing bub-bles with pipes of clay.
+
+ Tom took a ba-sin deep and wide,
+ And Har-ry brought his mug be-side;
+They fil-led them quite with soap-suds white,
+ And each to blow the big-gest tried.
+
+ Poor Tom, he blew with might and main,
+ And so, of course, he blew in vain;
+For all his trou-ble he made no bub-ble,
+ But Tom was brave and tried a-gain.
+
+ Till Har-ry said, "Dear Tom, you see,
+ You blow too hard; now--look at me.
+There! that will rise to-ward the skies,
+ And float a-bove the li-lac tree."
+
+
+
+
+A-PRIL SHOW-ERS.
+
+"Thou makest the earth soft with show-ers: Thou bless-est the spring-ing
+there-of."--PSALM lxv. 10.
+
+
+When A-pril skies be-gin to frown,
+And the cold rain comes pelt-ing down,
+We must not grum-ble nor com-plain,
+Nor i-dly say, we hate the rain.
+
+God sends the rain; the dust-y ground
+It soft-ens in the fields a-round;
+The mois-ture ev-e-ry plant re-ceives,
+And springs a-fresh in flow-ers and leaves.
+
+Should God for-bid the show-ers to fall,
+Nor send us any rain at all,
+The ground would all grow hard and dry,
+And ev-e-ry liv-ing plant would die.
+
+All things would starve and per-ish then--
+No food for birds, nor beasts, nor men;
+Then do not mur-mur, nor com-plain,
+God, in His good-ness, sends the rain.

+[Illustration: "SNAP, BE GOOD!"]
+
+
+
+
+"SNAP, BE GOOD!"
+
+
+"Dear lit-tle Snap, you fun-ny pup,
+ I love to see you beg,
+So cle-ver-ly do you sit up
+ And bend each slen-der leg,
+ Drop-ping the paw;
+And raise your ears a-bove your head,
+ Look-ing so very wise;
+You seem to know I have some bread;
+ And then, such bright green eyes
+ I never saw.
+
+"Your shag-gy coat is long and rough,
+ Your tail is rough-er still;
+Now, Snap, I think you've had e-nough,
+ And more would make you ill--
+ In-deed it would.
+But sis-ter Lot-ty has some cake,
+ And so if you will sit
+Quite still and good, till I say 'Take!'
+ Then you shall have a bit;
+ So, Snap, be good!"
+
+
+
+
+THE STRAY KIT-TEN.
+
+
+"Come, Kit-ty, come; you need not fear,
+ Nor make that plain-tive mew;
+Don't be a-fraid, but ven-ture near,
+And lap the milk we bring you here,
+ For none will in-jure you.
+
+"And, Kit-ty, since you've lost your way,
+ You need no fur-ther roam;
+But stop, and dine with us to-day,
+And then, if you would wish to stay,
+ Poor Kit-ty, here's your home.
+
+"And we will feed you fine and fat,
+ On fresh new milk and nice;
+And, when you grow to be a cat,
+You can re-quite us well for that,
+ By catch-ing all the mice."

+THE MAY-POLE.
+
+
+ Round the May-pole, on the grass,
+ Mer-ry lit-tle foot-steps pass;
+ In the mid-dle Bes-sie stands,
+ With the May-pole in her hands;
+ While her play-mates dance and sing
+ Round her in an end-less ring.
+ Soon, in-deed, a feast they'll make,
+ Cow-slip tea, with nice plum-cake--
+And so our leave of them we'll take.
+
+
+
+
+THE FIRST OF MAY.
+
+
+The haw-thorn blos-som, snow-y white,
+ Hangs thick upon the hedge to-day;
+With many flow-ers the fields are bright
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+So let us ga-ther flow-er-ets fair,
+ And blos-soms from the haw-thorn spray,
+To deck our May-pole stand-ing there,
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+And then, like fai-ries, in a ring,
+ A-round it we will dance or play,
+And all our glad-dest songs will sing
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+And dear-est Maud shall there be seen
+ With crown of haw-thorn blos-soms gay,
+And she shall be our lit-tle queen,
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+
+
+
+UNI-VER-SAL PRAISE.
+
+
+See how na-ture now re-joices
+ In this sun-ny month of May;
+Still to God from all its voices
+ Giv-ing prais-es day by day.
+In the glad green wood-land al-leys
+ Ev-e-ry bird its an-them trills!
+While flocks feed-ing in the val-leys,
+ Herds up-on a thou-sand hills,
+Join with ev-ery crea-ture liv-ing,
+ Here on land, in air, or sea,
+In one great world-wide thanks-giv-ing,
+ Yield-ing praise, O God, to Thee!
+All a-round us swells the cho-rus
+ From this good-ly world of ours,
+And earth's al-tar stands be-fore us
+ Sweet with in-cense from her flow-ers.
+So, with Na-ture still con-fess-ing
+ His great good-ness, let us pay
+Grate-ful hom-age for each bless-ing
+ Of this sun-ny month of May.

+Lit-tle, help-less ba-by dear,

+ She will sing your lul-la-by.
+
+When at last you fall a-sleep,
+ Not the slight-est noise she'll make;
+Quiet as a mouse she'll keep,
+ Lest she should her dar-ling wake.
+
+May will watch you well, for though
+ She can play and prat-tle too,
+'Tis not very long ago
+ Since she was a babe like you.
+
+Then mam-ma o'er lit-tle May
+ Day and night her watch would keep;
+May her care can now re-pay,
+ Watch-ing ba-by whilst a-sleep.

+
+
+Be-hold the flow-ers of June! how fair
+ And bright their buds ap-pear,
+As, open-ing to the sum-mer air,
+ Our eyes and hearts they cheer!
+
+Who would have thought there could a-bound
+ Such beau-ty and de-light
+Be-neath the cold and win-try ground
+ That hid those flow-ers from sight?
+
+That pow-er which made and governs all--
+ The might-y pow-er of God--
+A-lone could life and beau-ty call
+ Out of the life-less sod.
+
+And He, who from the Win-ter's gloom
+ Can Sum-mer thus dis-close,
+Shall one day make the de-sert bloom,
+ And blos-som as the rose.

+ And plant-ed thick with choic-est seeds;
+
+Though in our hearts, how-e-ver taught
+ And trained to guard them-selves from sin,
+The good is mixed with evil thought
+ Our en-e-my has sown there-in,
+
+God's plant-ing shall not be o'er-thrown
+ By world-ly weeds that cling a-bout
+His corn; and what He hath not sown
+ Shall in His time be root-ed out.
+
+Then, that our lives may yield their fruit,
+ Still let it be our con-stant prayer,
+That God from out our hearts will root
+ All seeds He hath not plant-ed there.

+THE BUT-TER-FLY.
+
+
+A yel-low But-ter-fly one day,
+ Grown tired of play and tired of fly-ing,
+Up-on a this-tle blos-som grey
+ With out-spread wings was i-dly ly-ing.
+
+The stur-dy bees went hum-ming by,
+ Draw-ing sweet ho-ney from the clo-ver,
+Nor stir-red the yel-low But-ter-fly,
+ For he was but an i-dle ro-ver.
+
+Two lit-tle girls, named Anne and May,
+ Came by with mirth and laugh-ter ring-ing,
+Anne ran to seize the in-sect gay--
+ May fol-low-ed fast and ceased her sing-ing.
+
+"Oh! dar-ling An-nie, let it be,
+ Your touch will rob its plumes of beau-ty;
+And God, who made both you and me,
+ Has taught us kind-ness is a du-ty."
+
+
+
+
+"GO A-WAY, RO-VER!"
+
+"You big black dog, go, go a-way!
+ I will not let you bite
+My lit-tle pet; it can-not play,
+ You gave it such a fright!
+
+"I think you want to eat it up
+ Be-cause it is so small,
+But if you dare to touch my pup
+ For help I mean to call;
+
+"And then pa-pa will bring a stick,
+ And make you run a-way;
+So, Ro-ver, you had best go quick,
+ And leave us here to play!"
+
+ * * * * *
+
+Why, Ro-ver, is quite good and tame--
+ You need not be a-fraid;
+He on-ly wants to have a game,
+ You sil-ly lit-tle maid!

+
+
+"Oh, come to the brook, sis-ter Kate,
+ Oh, come with me, Het-ty and Gus,
+Where rush-es, so long and so straight,
+ Are grow-ing in thou-sands for us!"
+
+Thus cries, to the rest, lit-tle May;
+ And off to the mea-dow go all--
+For nurse has just shown her the way
+ Of mak-ing a rush pa-ra-sol.
+
+LU-CY AND AR-THUR.
+
+
+The day was fine, the sun was hot,
+ So Lu-cy took her pail and spade,
+And went to find a nice dry spot
+ Where wells and cas-tles might be made.
+
+But all the shore just then was wet,
+ So Lu-cy took off shoes and socks;
+She knew that nurse would fume and fret
+ If they got spoilt by sand or rocks.
+
+But Ar-thur was so strong and big,
+ He thought that he was quite a man,
+And he, in boots, would stand and dig,
+ Which proved a very fool-ish plan.
+
+For soon his boots got wet and cold,
+ And hurt his feet, and made him cry;
+He had to sit and hear nurse scold,
+ While both his boots were put to dry.
+
+THE PRO-VI-DENCE OF GOD.
+
+"The Lord shall give that which is good,
+and our land shall yield her increase."--PSALM lxxxv. 12.
+
+
+The seed was sown long months a-go,
+And, through the win-ter's cold and snow,
+We trust-ed that God's care would bring
+The green and ten-der blade in spring,
+Which che-rished by the sun and rain
+Of sum-mer, now has yield-ed grain
+In au-tumn, when the reap-er leaves
+His cot to cut and bind the sheaves,
+And load with them the nod-ding wain
+Which bears them home-ward from the plain.
+
+So God's great mer-cies thus a-bound;
+His love still brings the sea-sons round;
+His bless-ings fill our hap-py fields,
+And all our land its in-crease yields:
+So if we serve Him as we should,
+Our Lord will give us all things good;
+And He who doth the ra-vens feed
+Much more will give us all we need!

+PLAY-ING A-MONG THE SHEAVES.
+
+Oh, who could there be
+More mer-ry than we,
+ On this bright har-vest morn.
+As we fro-lic and play,
+While we hide a-way,
+ A-mong the sheaves of corn?
+
+We may fro-lic still
+Wher-e-ver we will,
+ But yet we must not tread
+To waste with our feet
+The grains of the wheat--
+ The wheat that makes our bread.
+
+For God, as we need,
+Gives the corn to feed
+ And make us well and strong;
+And to waste in vain
+His gift of the grain
+ Would grieve Him, and be wrong.

+
+KEEP-ING SCHOOL.
+
+
+Oh, tell me if e-ver you knew
+ A teach-er who looked so se-vere
+As sis-ter Ma-ri-a can do,
+ When les-sons she's go-ing to hear?
+
+Just look how she holds up her cane
+ And frowns, as she threat-ens each one!
+But yet they'll not cry or com-plain,
+ Be-cause it is only in fun.
+
+The dunce's cap Dol-ly must wear,
+ Her task was not learnt very well;
+And now lit-tle Jane, I de-clare,
+ Pre-tends she's un-a-ble to spell.
+
+Yet sis-ter may hold up her cane,
+ And though they'll look so-lemn, each one,
+From laugh-ter they scarce can re-frain.
+ Be-cause it is only in fun.

+
+Through the long day the cows are seen
+ All graz-ing as they go,
+Wan-der-ing a-long the mea-dows green
+ Where yel-low hawk-weeds grow.
+
+But when the clock with-in the tower
+ Strikes five, they al-ways pace
+Slow-ly--for well they know the hour--
+ Home to the milk-ing place.
+
+Then in the yard quite still they stand,
+ Swing-ing their la-zy tails,
+Where Ann and Su-san are at hand
+ With stools and milk-ing pails
+
+I love to see the white milk flow,
+ And in the pail froth up;
+And Ann, who is so kind, I know,

+'Tis au-tumn now; the corn is cut,

+The pur-ple plum, the ripe brown nut,
+ And pears and ap-ples, streaked with red,
+A-mong the dark-green branch-es shine,
+ Or on the grass be-neath them fall;
+While full green clus-ters deck the vine
+ That trails o'er trel-lis, roof, and wall.
+
+In our dear land the la-den trees
+ Be-speak God's pro-vi-dence and love;
+He sends all need-ful gifts like these
+ For those who trust in Him a-bove.
+How good is He to make such choice

+"Squir-rel, squir-rel, brown and brisk,
+ High a-bove me in the tree,
+I can see you bound and frisk,
+ I can see you peep at me.
+
+"Squir-rel, squir-rel, you can play;
+ Mer-rier beast is none than you;
+Yet you are not only gay,
+ You are wise and mer-ry too.
+
+You can play till sum-mer's o'er,

+"CON-TRA-RY WINDS"
+
+
+Both Tom and Will had e-qual skill
+ In mak-ing lit-tle boats and ships;
+They cut a-way a whole half day,
+ And co-vered all the floor with chips.
+
+And when the boys had made their toys,
+ They thought to put them to the test--
+To try which boat, when set a-float,
+ Would sail a-cross a tub the best.
+
+But Will and Tom, each blow-ing from
+ A dif-fe-rent side, you well may guess,
+No boats could go straight on, and so
+ They tacked a-bout in great dis-tress.
+
+Such heavy gales a-gainst their sails
+ Made both the boats go whirl-ing round;
+The sails got wet, the boats up-set,
+ And all the crew on board were drowned.

+CUT-TING NAMES.
+
+
+See where the spread-ing beech has made
+Be-neath its boughs a plea-sant shade
+ To screen them from the sun;
+There George, and Anne, and Ma-ry play,
+Or read up-on each sun-ny day,
+ When all their tasks are done.
+
+George has pulled out his knife, you see,
+And on the smooth-barked beech-en tree
+ Has some-thing found to do;
+He's carv-ing deep, and plain, and well
+The let-ters, one by one, which spell
+ His name and An-nie's too.
+
+His sis-ter An-nie, stand-ing by,
+Is watch-ing with a cu-ri-ous eye,
+ And won-der-ing at his skill.
+To men and wo-men when they grow,
+They'll come and find the beech tree show
+ Those names quite plain-ly still.

+
+THE CON-CERT.
+
+
+"See how it rains! We can-not go
+Our walk a-cross the fields; and so,
+Since Tom and Et-tie Holmes are come,
+And cous-in Fred has brought his drum,
+And some can sing, and o-thers play,
+We'll have a con-cert here to-day.
+You, Tom, must in the mid-dle stand,
+And mark the time, with stick in hand;
+You, bro-ther Ben, the tongs must take,
+For they will good tri-an-gles make;
+Hal clicks the 'bones,' and Em-me-line
+Will beat her lit-tle tam-bour-ine,
+And cous-in Fred will drum a-way,
+And Kate the con-cer-ti-na play.
+All must at-tend to Tom; and mind
+None play too fast, nor lag be-hind;
+And then, I'm sure, we all shall see
+How grand a con-cert this will be,
+And say this is the wis-est way
+To spend this wet Oc-to-ber day."

+ And on the roof they now would fix

+ A long-er brick, and sets it there;
+And though when-e'er we walk it shakes,

+
+CAUGHT IN THE FOG.
+
+Anne and Jane will long re-mem-her
+How, one morn-ing in No-vem-ber,
+As they both were home-ward stroll-ing,
+Round the Lon-don fog came roll-ing--
+First, a yel-low dark-ness fall-ing,
+Then a noise of link-boys call-ing,
+Cab, and 'bus, and cart-wheels rum-bling,
+Hor-ses on the pave-ment stum-bling,
+Peo-ple, in the smoke and smo-ther,
+Run-ning up a-gainst each other,
+No one see-ing, much less know-ing,
+Whi-ther he or she was go-ing.
+Little Jane clung to her sis-ter,
+While Anne com-fort-ed and kissed her,
+For the girls felt bro-ken-heart-ed,
+Fear-ing lest they should be part-ed.
+So they were when Char-lie found them,
+Lost a-mid the crowd a-round them,
+But so glad when they es-pied him,
+And came trip-ping home beside him.
+
+
+
+
+TRUST IN GOD.
+
+"He ma-keth light-nings for the rain;
+He bring-eth the wind out of His trea-sur-ies."--Ps. CXXXV. 7.

+
+Our God who reign-est up on high,
+Though light-nings flash a-cross the sky,
+And howl-ing tem-pests hur-ry by,
+We fear not these, for Thou art nigh
+ To all who trust in Thee.
+
+Though now the sky is o-ver-cast,
+And hea-vy rains are fall-ing fast,
+And storm and sleet go driv-ing past,
+And day by day the moan-ing blast
+ Sweeps dead leaves from the tree,
+
+No-vem-ber time, that seems so drear,
+When days are dark and win-ter near,
+Will pass at length, and Christ-mas cheer
+The last hours of the dy-ing year
+ With song and dance and mirth.
+
+And in due time Thy mighty pow-er
+Will give the spring, with sun and shower,
+The o-pen-ing leaf, the ear-ly flow-er,
+And birds in e-ve-ry wood-land bow-er
+ Will sing to glad-den earth.

+
+Come, Meg and El-len, don't com-plain,
+For, see, the geese en-joy the rain,
+ And dog-gie does not fret;
+ And yet,
+The drops come rol-ling down his ears,
+And nose, and whisk-ers, just like tears;
+ Poor Mop, he's drip-ping wet!
+Our big um-brel-la co-vers three,
+And snug and dry we all may be,
+ And chat-ter as we go,
+ And show
+The grumb-ling peo-ple whom we meet
+That nei-ther wind, nor driv-ing sleet,
+ Can spoil our tem-pers.--No,
+We will not take such days as this,
+Nor any-thing God sends, a-miss,
+ But what we can-not cure
+ Endure;
+And this will prove a Gold-en Rule
+To prac-tise as we walk from school--
+ Of that we may be sure.

+THE KIT-TENS' BATH.
+
+
+One day when Lil-lie saw her cat
+ Sit down and lick a kit-ten's face;
+"No, puss," said she, "don't wash like that--
+ My bath will be the pro-per place.
+
+"I'll show you how to wash them, puss."
+ So in she dipped them one by one;
+Poor Min-nie mewed and made a fuss,
+ But Lil-lie only thought it fun.
+
+Puss feared her lit-tle kits would drown,
+ And did her best to get them out;
+While Lil-lie dipped them up and down,
+ And splashed the wa-ter all a-bout.
+
+Till nurse came up and saw the mess,
+ Took out the kit-tens, and instead
+Made thought-less Lil-lie quite un-dress,
+ And have her bath and go to bed.

+If, at this old Christ-mas game,

+Any play-er out by name,
+ He must catch it ere it fall.
+
+If "Move all" she should re-peat,
+ All sit still; but if she say
+"Twi-light," each must change his seat,
+ Or a for-feit he must pay.

+
+THE WISE MEN OF THE EAST.
+
+
+The East-ern sages watched the sky,
+ They looked from night till morn,
+There shone a bright, new star on high,
+ They knew that Christ was born.
+
+Then up they rose, and came from far,
+ They jour-neyed night and day,
+Led by the shin-ing of that star,
+ And found Him where He lay.
+
+There is not any need for us
+ To leave our homes be-hind,
+Through dis-tant lands to tra-vel thus
+ The Son of God to find.
+
+For home to us each Christ-mas Day
+ The new-born Sa-vi-our brings;
+Then shall we not our hom-age pay
+ Like those good East-ern kings?

+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+
+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.
+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. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+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.
+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. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:

+BLIND MAN'S BUFF.
+
+When the win-ter winds are blow-ing,
+ And we ga-ther glad and gay,
+Where the fire its light is throw-ing,
+ For a mer-ry game at play,
+There is none that to my know-ing,--
+ And I've play-ed at games enough,--
+Makes us laugh, and sets us glow-ing
+ Like a game at Blind-man's Buff.
+
+
+
+
+THE DEAD ROBIN.
+
+All through the win-ter, long and cold,
+ Dear Minnie ev-ery morn-ing fed
+The little spar-rows, pert and bold,
+ And ro-bins, with their breasts so red.
+
+She lov-ed to see the lit-tle birds
+ Come flut-ter-ing to the win-dow pane,
+In answer to the gen-tle words
+ With which she scat-ter-ed crumbs and grain.
+
+One ro-bin, bol-der than the rest,
+ Would perch up-on her fin-ger fair,
+And this of all she lov-ed the best,
+ And daily fed with ten-der-est care.
+
+But one sad morn, when Minnie came,
+ Her pre-ci-ous lit-tle pet she found,
+Not hop-ping, when she call-ed his name,
+ But ly-ing dead up-on the ground.
+
+
+
+
+ALL THINGS OBEY GOD.
+
+"He saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth."
+
+God's works are very great, but still
+ His hands do not ap-pear:
+Though hea-ven and earth o-bey His will,
+ His voice we can-not hear.
+
+And yet we know that it is He
+ Who moves and governs all,
+Who stills the rag-ing of the sea,
+ And makes the showers to fall.
+
+Alike in mer-cy He be-stows
+ The sun-shine and the rain;
+That which is best for us He knows,
+ And we must not com-plain,
+
+Whe-ther He makes His winds to blow,
+ And gives His tem-pests birth,
+Or sends His frost, or bids the snow--
+ "Be thou up-on the earth."
+
+
+
+[Illustration: HE SAITH TO THE SNOW: BE THOU ON THE EARTH. JOB 37.6]
+
+[Illustration: SNOW-BALL-ING.]
+
+
+
+
+SNOW-BALL-ING.
+
+See these mer-ry ones at play,
+On this snowy New Year's Day:
+How they run, and jump, and throw
+Hand-fuls of the soft, white snow.
+You should hear them laugh and shout
+As they fling the snow about!
+'Tis by Frank and Gus alone
+That the balls are chief-ly thrown,
+While their cou-sins make and bring
+Other balls for them to fling.
+Ka-tie is pre-par-ing thus,
+Quite a store of balls for Gus;
+But her mer-ry sis-ter May
+From her task has run a-way,
+All that heavy lump of snow,
+At her cou-sin Gus to throw.
+E-dith is not very bold,
+And at first she fear-ed the cold;
+Now at last you see her run
+Down the steps to join the fun.
+
+
+
+
+THE SICK DOLL.
+
+
+Oh! is there any cause to fear
+ That dol-ly will be very ill?
+To cure my lit-tle dar-ling here,
+ Pray, doc-tor, use your ut-most skill.
+
+And dol-ly, if you would get well,
+ Hold out your arm, that Dr. Gray
+May feel your tiny pulse, and tell
+ What best will take the pain a-way.
+
+And do not say: "I will not touch
+ That nas-ty phy-sic, nor the pill."
+If lit-tle dolls will eat too much,
+ They must not won-der if they're ill.
+
+If your mam-ma ate too much cake,
+ She would be very poor-ly too,
+And nas-ty phy-sic have to take;
+ And, lit-tle dol-ly, so must you.

+NEL-LY'S PET LAMB.
+
+
+This lit-tle Lamb was brought to Nell
+ The day its old ewe mo-ther died,
+And, now it knows and loves her well,
+ It will not go from Nel-ly's side.
+A-long the hall, and up the stair,
+ You hear its lit-tle pat-ter-ing toes:
+Her Pet will fol-low every-where
+ A-bout the house, where Nel-ly goes.
+
+
+
+
+ROSE'S VA-LEN-TINE.
+
+
+ROSE.
+
+The post-man has been, dear mam-ma,
+ And has brought me a let-ter so fine;
+And Su-san has one, but it is not, by far,
+ So pret-ty a let-ter as mine.
+And, pray, will you read it to me,
+ Mam-ma, if I give you a kiss?
+I wish very much to know who it can be
+ That has sent me a let-ter like this.
+
+MAM-MA.
+
+To the lot of our dear lit-tle Rose
+ We trust every bless-ing may fall;
+And this is the prayer and the fond hope of those
+ Who love her most dear-ly of all.
+
+So now, lit-tle Rose, can you guess
+ Who sent you this let-ter by post?
+
+ROSE.
+
+Oh, yes, dear mam-ma, I can tell you; oh, yes!
+ For you, and pa-pa, love me most.
+
+
+
+
+"YOUR HEA-VEN-LY FA-THER FEED-ETH THEM."
+
+
+God loves His lit-tle birds; for all
+ His ten-der care He shows;
+A sin-gle spar-row can-not fall
+ But its Cre-a-tor knows.
+
+They do not sow, nor reap the corn,
+ Gar-ner nor barn have they;
+God gives them break-fast every morn,
+ And feeds them through the day.
+
+And this we know; for in His Word,
+ Where all His ways we read,
+We find that eve-ry lit-tle bird
+ He cares for, and will feed.
+
+God loves each lit-tle bird; but still
+ More ten-der is His care
+For chil-dren who o-bey His will,
+ Than for the fowls of air.
+
+
+
+[Illustration: YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDETH THEM. MATT. vi. 26.]
+
+[Illustration: PLOUGH-ING.]
+
+
+
+
+PLOUGH-ING.
+
+
+The lit-tle birds by God are fed
+But man must earn his dai-ly bread,
+ And work that he may eat;
+Striv-ing his best, as John does now,
+The broad ten-acre field to plough,
+ Where-in to sow the wheat.
+
+Old John, the plough-man, ne'er re-pines,
+Whe-ther it blows, or rains, or shines,
+ But hap-py still does seem;
+And Dick, who leads the fore-most horse,
+Goes whist-ling as he walks across
+ The field be-side the team.
+
+Let us per-form as glad-ly, too,
+The work our Mas-ter bids us do,
+ And then we need not fear;
+But when from earth-ly toil we rest,
+We all shall meet a-mong the blest
+ Who served Him tru-ly here.
+
+
+
+
+"HOW IS THE WEA-THER?"
+
+ Cold win-ter has come,
+ And the cru-el winds blow--
+The trees are all leaf-less and brown;
+ These two pret-ty rob-ins,
+ Oh, where shall they go
+To shel-ter their lit-tle brown heads from the snow?
+ Just look at the flakes com-ing down.
+
+But see, they have found a snug shel-ter at last,
+And hark, how they talk, while the storm whis-tles past:
+
+ Says Pol-ly to Dick-y,
+ "You're near-est the door,
+And you are the gen-tle-man, too:
+ Just peep out and see
+ When the storm will be o'er;
+Be-cause, if the wea-ther's as bad as be-fore,
+I think we will stay, do not you?"
+
+
+
+[Illustration: Far up a-mong the moun-tain peaks,
+His food the lone-ly Con-dor seeks.]
+
+[Illustration: The Co-bra has a dead-ly bite.
+And yet in mu-sic takes de-light.]
+
+[Illustration: The A-rabs through the de-sert wide,
+On the swift Dro-me-dary ride.]
+
+[Illustration: In gen-tle ri-vers, still and clear,
+We see the shin-ing Dace ap-pear.]
+
+[Illustration: "HOW IS THE WEATHER?"]
+
+[Illustration: NELLY'S NEW PARASOL.]
+
+
+
+NAUGH-TY NEL-LY AND HER NEW PA-RA-SOL.
+
+
+"No, Nel-ly! not to-day, my child!
+ I can-not let you take it;
+This cold March wind, so strong and wild,
+ Your pa-ra-sol, 'twould break it!"
+
+So said Mam-ma; but Nel-ly thought,
+ "I will take my new pre-sent:
+Tis mine; to please me it was bought;
+ The wea-ther's bright and plea-sant."
+
+So naugh-ty Nel-ly sli-ly took
+ What kind Mam-ma had bought her,
+And out she went--and, only look!
+ The wild March wind has caught her!
+
+The silk tore up, the ribs broke out,
+ In spite of Nel-ly's sway-ing;
+And peo-ple laugh-ed at her, no doubt--
+ That comes of dis-o-bey-ing.
+
+
+
+
+"THE FLOW-ERS AP-PEAR ON THE EARTH."
+
+(SONG OF SOLOMON, ii. 12.)
+
+
+Now the win-ter cold is past,
+ And blithe March winds are blow-ing,
+In shel-ter-ed nooks we find at last
+ Bright flow-ers of spring are grow-ing.
+
+Along the hedge-row's mossy bank,
+ Where ivy green is creep-ing,
+We see through weeds and net-tles rank
+ The dark-blue vi-o-let peep-ing.
+
+And in the sun-ny gar-den beds
+ Gay a-co-nites are show-ing,
+And snow-drops bend their grace-ful heads,
+ And cro-cus-es are glow-ing.
+
+God makes the buds and leaves un-fold,
+ All flow-ers are of His giv-ing;
+He guards them through the win-ter's cold,
+ He cares for all things liv-ing.

+[Illustration: BLOWING BUBBLES.]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+JUMP! PUS-SY!
+
+
+Pus-sy, jump! for all the day
+You have time e-nough to play;
+Though at night, in barn and house,
+You must watch for rat or mouse.
+
+Pus-sy, jump! and if you do,
+We will pour some milk for you;
+Pus-sy, you shall be ca-ressed,
+If you try and jump your best.
+
+
+
+
+BLOW-ING BUB-BLES.
+
+
+ Har-ry and Tom, the o-ther day,
+ Went out in-to the yard to play;
+Their great de-light, in wea-ther bright,
+ Is blow-ing bub-bles with pipes of clay.
+
+ Tom took a ba-sin deep and wide,
+ And Har-ry brought his mug be-side;
+They fil-led them quite with soap-suds white,
+ And each to blow the big-gest tried.
+
+ Poor Tom, he blew with might and main,
+ And so, of course, he blew in vain;
+For all his trou-ble he made no bub-ble,
+ But Tom was brave and tried a-gain.
+
+ Till Har-ry said, "Dear Tom, you see,
+ You blow too hard; now--look at me.
+There! that will rise to-ward the skies,
+ And float a-bove the li-lac tree."
+
+
+
+
+A-PRIL SHOW-ERS.
+
+"Thou makest the earth soft with show-ers: Thou bless-est the spring-ing
+there-of."--PSALM lxv. 10.
+
+
+When A-pril skies be-gin to frown,
+And the cold rain comes pelt-ing down,
+We must not grum-ble nor com-plain,
+Nor i-dly say, we hate the rain.
+
+God sends the rain; the dust-y ground
+It soft-ens in the fields a-round;
+The mois-ture ev-e-ry plant re-ceives,
+And springs a-fresh in flow-ers and leaves.
+
+Should God for-bid the show-ers to fall,
+Nor send us any rain at all,
+The ground would all grow hard and dry,
+And ev-e-ry liv-ing plant would die.
+
+All things would starve and per-ish then--
+No food for birds, nor beasts, nor men;
+Then do not mur-mur, nor com-plain,
+God, in His good-ness, sends the rain.
+
+
+

+
+[Illustration: "SNAP, BE GOOD!"]
+
+
+
+
+"SNAP, BE GOOD!"
+
+
+"Dear lit-tle Snap, you fun-ny pup,
+ I love to see you beg,
+So cle-ver-ly do you sit up
+ And bend each slen-der leg,
+ Drop-ping the paw;
+And raise your ears a-bove your head,
+ Look-ing so very wise;
+You seem to know I have some bread;
+ And then, such bright green eyes
+ I never saw.
+
+"Your shag-gy coat is long and rough,
+ Your tail is rough-er still;
+Now, Snap, I think you've had e-nough,
+ And more would make you ill--
+ In-deed it would.
+But sis-ter Lot-ty has some cake,
+ And so if you will sit
+Quite still and good, till I say 'Take!'
+ Then you shall have a bit;
+ So, Snap, be good!"
+
+
+
+
+THE STRAY KIT-TEN.
+
+
+"Come, Kit-ty, come; you need not fear,
+ Nor make that plain-tive mew;
+Don't be a-fraid, but ven-ture near,
+And lap the milk we bring you here,
+ For none will in-jure you.
+
+"And, Kit-ty, since you've lost your way,
+ You need no fur-ther roam;
+But stop, and dine with us to-day,
+And then, if you would wish to stay,
+ Poor Kit-ty, here's your home.
+
+"And we will feed you fine and fat,
+ On fresh new milk and nice;
+And, when you grow to be a cat,
+You can re-quite us well for that,
+ By catch-ing all the mice."

+
+
+ Round the May-pole, on the grass,
+ Mer-ry lit-tle foot-steps pass;
+ In the mid-dle Bes-sie stands,
+ With the May-pole in her hands;
+ While her play-mates dance and sing
+ Round her in an end-less ring.
+ Soon, in-deed, a feast they'll make,
+ Cow-slip tea, with nice plum-cake--
+And so our leave of them we'll take.
+
+
+
+
+THE FIRST OF MAY.
+
+
+The haw-thorn blos-som, snow-y white,
+ Hangs thick upon the hedge to-day;
+With many flow-ers the fields are bright
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+So let us ga-ther flow-er-ets fair,
+ And blos-soms from the haw-thorn spray,
+To deck our May-pole stand-ing there,
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+And then, like fai-ries, in a ring,
+ A-round it we will dance or play,
+And all our glad-dest songs will sing
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+And dear-est Maud shall there be seen
+ With crown of haw-thorn blos-soms gay,
+And she shall be our lit-tle queen,
+ Upon this mer-ry First of May.
+
+
+
+
+UNI-VER-SAL PRAISE.
+
+
+See how na-ture now re-joices
+ In this sun-ny month of May;
+Still to God from all its voices
+ Giv-ing prais-es day by day.
+In the glad green wood-land al-leys
+ Ev-e-ry bird its an-them trills!
+While flocks feed-ing in the val-leys,
+ Herds up-on a thou-sand hills,
+Join with ev-ery crea-ture liv-ing,
+ Here on land, in air, or sea,
+In one great world-wide thanks-giv-ing,
+ Yield-ing praise, O God, to Thee!
+All a-round us swells the cho-rus
+ From this good-ly world of ours,
+And earth's al-tar stands be-fore us
+ Sweet with in-cense from her flow-ers.
+So, with Na-ture still con-fess-ing
+ His great good-ness, let us pay
+Grate-ful hom-age for each bless-ing
+ Of this sun-ny month of May.

+
+When at last you fall a-sleep,
+ Not the slight-est noise she'll make;
+Quiet as a mouse she'll keep,
+ Lest she should her dar-ling wake.
+
+May will watch you well, for though
+ She can play and prat-tle too,
+'Tis not very long ago
+ Since she was a babe like you.
+
+Then mam-ma o'er lit-tle May
+ Day and night her watch would keep;
+May her care can now re-pay,
+ Watch-ing ba-by whilst a-sleep.

+Be-hold the flow-ers of June! how fair
+ And bright their buds ap-pear,
+As, open-ing to the sum-mer air,
+ Our eyes and hearts they cheer!
+
+Who would have thought there could a-bound
+ Such beau-ty and de-light
+Be-neath the cold and win-try ground
+ That hid those flow-ers from sight?
+
+That pow-er which made and governs all--
+ The might-y pow-er of God--
+A-lone could life and beau-ty call
+ Out of the life-less sod.
+
+And He, who from the Win-ter's gloom
+ Can Sum-mer thus dis-close,
+Shall one day make the de-sert bloom,
+ And blos-som as the rose.

+And, I fear, he's not in-side. Cou-sin John,
+Do please stand up-on this chair,
+Just to see if he is there.
+Pret-ty Dick, I won-der where
+ You are gone!
+
+"Naugh-ty puss, your jaws, you lick!
+Have you eat-en lit-tle Dick?
+That would be a cru-el trick! No, I see
+Pret-ty Dick has flown a-way,
+And is sing-ing blithe and gay,
+Sit-ting yon-der on a spray
+ Of the tree.
+
+"Well, I too should think it wrong,
+If a gi-ant, tall and strong,
+Just to hear my lit-tle song ev-ery day,
+Shut _me_ in a cage; and yet
+Thus I did my lit-tle pet---
+So he must be glad to get
+ Safe a-way."

+PLAY-ING AT OM-NI-BUS.
+

+Says Hu-bert, "Look, how fast it pours!
+I'm sure we can't go out of doors
+ While it is rain-ing thus;
+So let us in the nur-se-ry stay,
+To have a mer-ry game, and play
+ At driv-ing om-ni-bus.
+
+"Flo-ra and Ted-dy, you must be
+The horses, and be driv-en by me.
+ Mind you go stea-dy--do!
+A place for Char-lie we shall find;
+To guard the 'bus he'll ride be-hind,
+ And take the mon-ey too.
+
+"Dick, with pa-pa's old hat to wear,
+Looks just the thing to be a fare
+ Who wants to ride with us.
+Jump up, sir! Six-pence all the way!
+Gee, gee, you horses! Gee, I say!"--
+ Off goes the om-ni-bus!

+Through the corn the chil-dren creep,

+Fill-ing hands and a-prons white
+With the scar-let blos-soms bright.
+Gau-dy pop-pies must not stay

+ON THE WA-TER.
+
+In our lit-tle boat to glide
+On the wa-ter blue and wide,
+While the sky is smooth and bright,
+What could give us more de-light?
+See the rip-ples, how they run,
+Twink-ling bright-ly in the sun;
+While re-flect-ed we can see
+Sha-dows of each hill and tree.
+See the li-lies, round and large,
+Float-ing near the reed-y marge,
+Where the bul-rush has its place
+And the hea-vy wa-ter-mace.
+See the great green dra-gon-fly,
+And the swal-low skim-ming by.
+See the fish-es spring and gleam,
+Ere they splash in-to the stream,
+See the bright king-fish-er too
+Dart a gleam of green and blue.
+These are all a-round our boat
+On the wa-ter whilst we float.

+
+Though in the corn that waves a-round
+ Are thorns, and many hurt-ful weeds,
+That spring in e-ven good-ly ground
+ And plant-ed thick with choic-est seeds;
+
+Though in our hearts, how-e-ver taught
+ And trained to guard them-selves from sin,
+The good is mixed with evil thought
+ Our en-e-my has sown there-in,
+
+God's plant-ing shall not be o'er-thrown
+ By world-ly weeds that cling a-bout
+His corn; and what He hath not sown
+ Shall in His time be root-ed out.
+
+Then, that our lives may yield their fruit,
+ Still let it be our con-stant prayer,
+That God from out our hearts will root
+ All seeds He hath not plant-ed there.

+
+
+A yel-low But-ter-fly one day,
+ Grown tired of play and tired of fly-ing,
+Up-on a this-tle blos-som grey
+ With out-spread wings was i-dly ly-ing.
+
+The stur-dy bees went hum-ming by,
+ Draw-ing sweet ho-ney from the clo-ver,
+Nor stir-red the yel-low But-ter-fly,
+ For he was but an i-dle ro-ver.
+
+Two lit-tle girls, named Anne and May,
+ Came by with mirth and laugh-ter ring-ing,
+Anne ran to seize the in-sect gay--
+ May fol-low-ed fast and ceased her sing-ing.
+
+"Oh! dar-ling An-nie, let it be,
+ Your touch will rob its plumes of beau-ty;
+And God, who made both you and me,
+ Has taught us kind-ness is a du-ty."
+
+

+
+"GO A-WAY, RO-VER!"
+
+"You big black dog, go, go a-way!
+ I will not let you bite
+My lit-tle pet; it can-not play,
+ You gave it such a fright!
+
+"I think you want to eat it up
+ Be-cause it is so small,
+But if you dare to touch my pup
+ For help I mean to call;
+
+"And then pa-pa will bring a stick,

+So, Ro-ver, you had best go quick,

+ Are grow-ing in thou-sands for us!"

+For nurse has just shown her the way
+ Of mak-ing a rush pa-ra-sol.
+
+LU-CY AND AR-THUR.
+
+
+The day was fine, the sun was hot,
+ So Lu-cy took her pail and spade,
+And went to find a nice dry spot
+ Where wells and cas-tles might be made.
+
+But all the shore just then was wet,
+ So Lu-cy took off shoes and socks;
+She knew that nurse would fume and fret
+ If they got spoilt by sand or rocks.
+
+But Ar-thur was so strong and big,
+ He thought that he was quite a man,
+And he, in boots, would stand and dig,
+ Which proved a very fool-ish plan.
+
+For soon his boots got wet and cold,
+ And hurt his feet, and made him cry;
+He had to sit and hear nurse scold,
+ While both his boots were put to dry.
+
+THE PRO-VI-DENCE OF GOD.
+
+"The Lord shall give that which is good,
+and our land shall yield her increase."--PSALM lxxxv. 12.
+
+
+The seed was sown long months a-go,
+And, through the win-ter's cold and snow,
+We trust-ed that God's care would bring
+The green and ten-der blade in spring,
+Which che-rished by the sun and rain
+Of sum-mer, now has yield-ed grain
+In au-tumn, when the reap-er leaves
+His cot to cut and bind the sheaves,
+And load with them the nod-ding wain
+Which bears them home-ward from the plain.
+
+So God's great mer-cies thus a-bound;
+His love still brings the sea-sons round;
+His bless-ings fill our hap-py fields,
+And all our land its in-crease yields:
+So if we serve Him as we should,
+Our Lord will give us all things good;
+And He who doth the ra-vens feed
+Much more will give us all we need!

+PLAY-ING A-MONG THE SHEAVES.
+
+Oh, who could there be
+More mer-ry than we,
+ On this bright har-vest morn.
+As we fro-lic and play,
+While we hide a-way,
+ A-mong the sheaves of corn?
+
+We may fro-lic still
+Wher-e-ver we will,
+ But yet we must not tread
+To waste with our feet
+The grains of the wheat--
+ The wheat that makes our bread.
+
+For God, as we need,
+Gives the corn to feed
+ And make us well and strong;
+And to waste in vain
+His gift of the grain
+ Would grieve Him, and be wrong.

+
+
+Oh, tell me if e-ver you knew

+As sis-ter Ma-ri-a can do,
+ When les-sons she's go-ing to hear?
+
+Just look how she holds up her cane
+ And frowns, as she threat-ens each one!
+But yet they'll not cry or com-plain,
+ Be-cause it is only in fun.
+
+The dunce's cap Dol-ly must wear,
+ Her task was not learnt very well;
+And now lit-tle Jane, I de-clare,
+ Pre-tends she's un-a-ble to spell.
+
+Yet sis-ter may hold up her cane,
+ And though they'll look so-lemn, each one,
+From laugh-ter they scarce can re-frain.

+
+But when the clock with-in the tower
+ Strikes five, they al-ways pace
+Slow-ly--for well they know the hour--

+
+Both Tom and Will had e-qual skill
+ In mak-ing lit-tle boats and ships;
+They cut a-way a whole half day,
+ And co-vered all the floor with chips.
+
+And when the boys had made their toys,
+ They thought to put them to the test--
+To try which boat, when set a-float,
+ Would sail a-cross a tub the best.
+
+But Will and Tom, each blow-ing from
+ A dif-fe-rent side, you well may guess,
+No boats could go straight on, and so
+ They tacked a-bout in great dis-tress.
+
+Such heavy gales a-gainst their sails
+ Made both the boats go whirl-ing round;
+The sails got wet, the boats up-set,
+ And all the crew on board were drowned.

+Or read up-on each sun-ny day,

+George has pulled out his knife, you see,
+And on the smooth-barked beech-en tree
+ Has some-thing found to do;
+He's carv-ing deep, and plain, and well
+The let-ters, one by one, which spell
+ His name and An-nie's too.

+His sis-ter An-nie, stand-ing by,

+You, Tom, must in the mid-dle stand,
+And mark the time, with stick in hand;
+You, bro-ther Ben, the tongs must take,
+For they will good tri-an-gles make;
+Hal clicks the 'bones,' and Em-me-line
+Will beat her lit-tle tam-bour-ine,
+And cous-in Fred will drum a-way,
+And Kate the con-cer-ti-na play.
+All must at-tend to Tom; and mind
+None play too fast, nor lag be-hind;
+And then, I'm sure, we all shall see
+How grand a con-cert this will be,
+And say this is the wis-est way
+To spend this wet Oc-to-ber day."

+
+Anne and Jane will long re-mem-her
+How, one morn-ing in No-vem-ber,
+As they both were home-ward stroll-ing,
+Round the Lon-don fog came roll-ing--
+First, a yel-low dark-ness fall-ing,
+Then a noise of link-boys call-ing,
+Cab, and 'bus, and cart-wheels rum-bling,
+Hor-ses on the pave-ment stum-bling,
+Peo-ple, in the smoke and smo-ther,
+Run-ning up a-gainst each other,
+No one see-ing, much less know-ing,
+Whi-ther he or she was go-ing.
+Little Jane clung to her sis-ter,
+While Anne com-fort-ed and kissed her,
+For the girls felt bro-ken-heart-ed,
+Fear-ing lest they should be part-ed.
+So they were when Char-lie found them,
+Lost a-mid the crowd a-round them,
+But so glad when they es-pied him,
+And came trip-ping home beside him.

+
+TRUST IN GOD.

+"He ma-keth light-nings for the rain;

+And howl-ing tem-pests hur-ry by,
+We fear not these, for Thou art nigh
+ To all who trust in Thee.

+Though now the sky is o-ver-cast,
+And hea-vy rains are fall-ing fast,
+And storm and sleet go driv-ing past,
+And day by day the moan-ing blast
+ Sweeps dead leaves from the tree,
+
+No-vem-ber time, that seems so drear,
+When days are dark and win-ter near,
+Will pass at length, and Christ-mas cheer
+The last hours of the dy-ing year
+ With song and dance and mirth.
+
+And in due time Thy mighty pow-er
+Will give the spring, with sun and shower,
+The o-pen-ing leaf, the ear-ly flow-er,
+And birds in e-ve-ry wood-land bow-er
+ Will sing to glad-den earth.

+"No, puss," said she, "don't wash like that--
+ My bath will be the pro-per place.
+
+"I'll show you how to wash them, puss."
+ So in she dipped them one by one;
+Poor Min-nie mewed and made a fuss,
+ But Lil-lie only thought it fun.
+
+Puss feared her lit-tle kits would drown,
+ And did her best to get them out;
+While Lil-lie dipped them up and down,
+ And splashed the wa-ter all a-bout.
+
+Till nurse came up and saw the mess,
+ Took out the kit-tens, and instead
+Made thought-less Lil-lie quite un-dress,
+ And have her bath and go to bed.

+THE WISE MEN OF THE EAST.
+
+
+The East-ern sages watched the sky,
+ They looked from night till morn,
+There shone a bright, new star on high,
+ They knew that Christ was born.
+
+Then up they rose, and came from far,
+ They jour-neyed night and day,
+Led by the shin-ing of that star,
+ And found Him where He lay.
+
+There is not any need for us
+ To leave our homes be-hind,
+Through dis-tant lands to tra-vel thus
+ The Son of God to find.
+
+For home to us each Christ-mas Day
+ The new-born Sa-vi-our brings;
+Then shall we not our hom-age pay
+ Like those good East-ern kings?

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+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.
+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 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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+ https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
