Kate never would do as she was bid. She was in every + sense, a disobedient child. She gave her parents much pain + and trouble. She was what is called a vain girl. You all know + what a vain girl is. A vain girl, is one who attends more to + her dress and toilet, than to her books. Kate's father was + going to New York some time before Christmas—he told + the girls, that if they were good, kind and obedient while he + was gone, he would bring them each a pretty Album. They all + promised to do just as their mother should wish. The father + went to New York and returned. The day after his return they + reminded him of his promise. He went to his desk and said, + "Here they are, but you want me to paint some flowers in + them, well Ellen what do you wish?" Ellen said, "a lily Pa, + if you please." Julia chose a tulip, and Lizzie a rose. Kate + was silent, and her father asked her—"Well Kate what + shall I paint for you?" She hesitated, but finally said, "I + would prefer a portrait of myself." "Very well Kate," said + her father, but at the same time a sneer might have been seen + on his curled lip. A few evenings after, when there was a + large party in the parlor—the father gave each of the + girls their Albums. Every one was pleased except Kate, who + burst into tears, and tossing the book on the floor, left the + room. The Album was picked up and there was a portrait of + Kate just as she had desired, but beneath it was written, + "The flower most admired by Kate." + </p> + <p> + It was a severe lesson—but let all vain girls profit by + it. + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p><a name="image-04"><!--IMG--></a> + <center> + <img src="gc05ill.png" width="398" height="404" alt= + "Lizzie and Fashion."> + </center> + <h2> + LIZZIE AND FASHION. + </h2> + <p> + Lizzie is taking a ride on her pet Fashion. She is not afraid + of falling, for she can ride very well. Fashion seems proud + to feel such a nice little burden on his back. See how he + capers and prances. He knows Lizzie will not fall, and so he + amuses himself and her, by jumping about. Lizzie rides every + morning and evening. She is delicate, and so her Pa bought + her a fine horse. She rides out alone. She is not + pretty—but she is happy and good natured. When the + other girls see her riding they sneer at her and say, "There + goes ugly Liz on the pretty horse." The girls are silly and + thoughtless. They should reflect that a happy face looks much + more agreeable than a handsome one. + </p> + <p> + As soon as Lizzie has said her prayers in the morning, she + goes out on her horse. She rides some miles and then returns + to breakfast. As she is delicate, she does not go to school, + but studies under her mother. She studies hard, and is very + obedient. After dinner she goes out again and rides for two + or three hours. It is pleasant to see how Fashion loves her. + As soon as she appears at the door—he is impatient of + restraint, and wishes to rush to her. When she has been + riding, and returned, and he is going to the stable, he will + turn frequently to see her as she goes along the piazza. She + has learned him many tricks.

I do + not mean those little lap dogs. They are of no use, and when + I see a little girl with a lap dog, I always say, "Well, + well, that little girl is, and always will be foolish." And + why do I say so? Because I know she will neglect her books + and her other duties just to play with Flora. If you want a + good pet dog—get a large one. The best dogs are the St. + Bernard or Newfoundland. They are very large. They are jet + black. They are very intelligent, and after you have had them + for some time, you can make them perform many tricks for the + amusement of your little friends. The St. Bernard Dog is a + native of the Alps. He is named after a convent on Mount St. + Bernard in Switzerland. The convent is 8,038 feet above the + foot of the mountain. It is a Benedictine monastery and + hospital, and is the highest inhabited spot in Europe. + Travellers passing the Alps into Italy have to pass over the + mountains. They are covered with snow and very dangerous. The + good monks go out with their dogs and if they find any + traveller benighted or frozen in the snow, they lend him + succour and take him to the monastery. The dogs are very + strong and can carry a man. They are all good water dogs, and + if you were to fall in the water, one of them could hold you + up until rescued by your friends. Growler is waiting for his + breakfast. He is Eva's pet. After she has eaten her + breakfast, she will give him his. See how quiet and + submissive he looks.

Her father was a Planter. + Their house was but a short distance from the river. Eva and + her pet dog Growler used to romp up and down on the sandy + shore of the river. One day Eva and Growler went to the water + as usual. Eva saw a boat there and thought she would get in, + but not untie the rope. She had not been in the boat very + long, when she felt it moving off—she was frightened + and did not know what to do. Growler rushed into the water, + and continued to bark very loud. As Eva saw the boat getting + away out into the river, she jumped out and with an oar + commenced to swim for the shore. Growler took hold of her + dress, and was taking her ashore, when an old slave named + Sam, rushed into the water and taking her from the faithful + dog, bore her in safety to the land. She lay sick for some + time and she had a horrid fever for many days. Growler was + always by her bed side, and would only leave it to get + something to eat. Eva's father gave Sam his freedom and a + purse of gold. Sam would not leave his + master—"No—no, Sambo no leave Massa and + Eva—Sambo lub Massa," said the good old man. + </p> + <p> + Growler still continues in the family, and he is beloved by + all—for had it not been for him Eva would have been + drowned.

All the young ladies and gentlemen are + assembled to celebrate the birth day of Kate. They are + playing one of the games of Forfeits. Kate is on her knees. I + will explain the game to you. It is a nice game; so when you + get a party of boys and girls together, you can play it. + There are various kinds of games of Forfeits; they are almost + as various as the forfeits themselves. The manner of + conducting them is the same for all. Some play is settled on, + such as the "Arbor of love;" "Spinning the plate," or any + other. When all the ladies and gentlemen have had to give + various forfeits, the work of redeeming them commences. + </p> + <p> + A lady sits down and a gentleman blindfolded kneels at her + feet. She takes up each article separately, and asks for + judgment. The gentleman then tells what the owner of the + forfeit must do, in order to redeem it. The sentence once + passed is never revoked, and so the sooner the punishment is + performed the better. The game waits until the culprit + performs his sentence. + </p> + <p> + In the party you see, they have been playing a game of + forfeits and sentence is being passed upon all those, who + have been unfortunate enough to have had them to pay. Kate, + without not knowing it, has just sentenced herself to kiss + all the gentlemen in the room, but as there are only two, it + will be an easy task. + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p><a name="image-08"><!--IMG--></a> + <center> + <img src="gc13ill.png" width="360" height="426" alt= + "The Dispensary."> + </center> + <h2> + THE DISPENSARY. + </h2> + <p> + The Dispensary. What is a dispensary? The Dispensary is a + room or house in which medicines and drugs are compounded and + dispensed. In all large cities there are dispensaries where + the poor people go and have their ailments attended to for + nothing. When any poor man or woman meets with an accident he + or she, is taken to the hospital where they receive the best + of care. In all boarding schools there is a room near the + Infirmary, where they keep the medicines. In the picture is a + little girl who has just entered the boarding school, and she + is looking around the buildings. She has come down to the + Infirmary to see all the sick girls, and to amuse them. She + has stopped at the Dispensary, and as she never was in one + before, the good lady is explaining all the medicines. She + answers all her questions, and translates the name of the + drugs for her. She is a kind old lady, and Mary has promised + to go down and see her often, as she wishes to learn all she + can about drugs. + </p> + <p> + Mary pointed to a large black bottle and asked if there was + wine in it. "Oh no, but vitriol, it burns awful and is very + dangerous," said the old lady. Mary did not wish to hear + more, but rushed out of the room, fearing the bottle would + explode. She told the old lady that she never would touch + anything unless she knew what it was—and then she would + not "burn her fingers." + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p><a name="image-09"><!--IMG--></a> + <center> + <img src="gc15ill.png" width="348" height="410" alt= + "The May Queen."> + </center> + <h2> + THE MAY QUEEN. + </h2> + <p> + It is May morning. May is the most beautiful of all months. + Then it is, that all nature seems to awaken from its winter + slumbers. The grass springs up, the little birds sing and + chirp, and display their beautiful plumage. The trees shoot + forth their buds, the fruitful covering of future foliage. We + no longer greet each other in the warmed room, but, "Good + morning," is sweetly spoken from the open window, or among + the bushes of the garden. We hunt flowers and climb hills, + and thus exercise both the body and the mind. In many parts + of Europe, on the first of May, all the juveniles of both + sexes, walk to a neighboring wood, and breaking limbs off + trees, adorn them with ribbons and crowns of flowers. They + are accompanied by a band of music and the blowing of horns. + They then return to their homes and make their houses + triumphant in the flowery spoils. In the afternoon, a May + pole is erected in the centre of the village. The pole is + consecrated to the goddess of flowers, and is profusely + adorned with them. It remains standing all the year. + </p> + <p> + The young girls then select by lot, one of their number to be + crowned as May Queen. She is crowned with a beautiful wreath + of flowers and presides for the rest of the day over the + amusements of her subjects.

They are the most delicious + of all berries. They are to be found growing in a wild state + in almost all temperate climates. During the past few years, + the consumption of the strawberry has become so enormous, as + to make it a profitable berry to cultivate. Jane Smith has + been cultivating some berries, not for the market, but for + her own use. She has her two sisters in the garden, and is + showing them her nice beds. You see the kind of place she has + chosen for her beds. Shaded and dark situations under the + drip of trees, are unfavorable for the fruit. You should + always choose an open, airy and warm exposure. The seeds + should be sown in the spring, in a bed of light rich mould. + You must be careful and not allow the weeds to grow up with + your plants, as they will be sure to kill them. The plants do + not bear the first season, but produce well the second. The + plant never bears fruit but once, and is then turned down to + make room for a new crop. You must plant your seeds in rows, + and do not plant any thing else between the rows. The rows + should be from nine to twelve inches apart. You must not + think this a great trouble, for you know how delicious they + are; one or two saucers of good berries and cream, will amply + repay all trouble. + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p><a name="image-11"><!--IMG--></a> + <center> + <img src="gc19ill.png" width="351" height="306" alt= + "Going Alone."> + </center> + <h2> + GOING ALONE. + </h2> + <p> + Here is a lady showing her husband, how she has taught little + Lizzie to go alone. Lizzie is only fourteen months old, and + can walk across the room alone. She does not walk but runs. + It is amusing to see her. She will crawl to the side of the + room, then stand up, and after balancing herself for a + moment, she will run towards her mother. See how delighted + they all seem. The father is pleased, to see his little girl + walk, for then, he can soon take her out with him in his + walks. You know that it is said we must all "creep before we + walk," well, I will illustrate this for you by a nice story. + "Many centuries ago, there reigned over Thebes, Laius and + Iocasta. Laius was one day killed on the road as he was + airing himself in his chariot. Shortly after, a terrible + plague broke out in Thebes, and the Sphinx ravaged all the + neighborhood. The Sphinx gave out that the plague would cease + and his ravages be ended, when this riddle was + solved:—'What animal walks on four feet in the morning, + two at noon day, and three in the evening.' None of the wise + men could solve it, and so their misfortune continued. At + length, Iocasta the Queen, said that whoever could solve the + riddle, should be king and have her hand in marriage. One + Oedipsus hearing of the offer, and having been insulted in + Corinth, went to Thebes, and thus rendered the solution of + the riddle. 'The animal,' he said, 'was man. In his infancy, + the morning of life, he walks on hands and feet: at manhood, + the noon-day of life, he walks on his feet alone: in old age, + the evening of life, he walks with a stick.' Oedipsus was + married to Iocasta and reigned as King." + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p><a name="image-12"><!--IMG--></a> + <center> + <img src="gc21ill.png" width="345" height="483" alt= + "The Ill Natured Girl."> + </center> + <h2> + THE ILL NATURED GIRL. + </h2> + <p> + Here is a representation of an ill natured little girl. See + what an angry and unpleasant expression her countenance has + assumed. She is angry at her sister and is tearing up a note, + sent to her sister by her grandmother. I will tell you the + story. The grandmother of those three children, was on a + visit to the house. She had observed how violent and + overbearing Susan was, and how properly her sister Annie + behaved. Annie was of a gentle, mild, and willing + disposition. If Susan's brother should happen to take up her + book, she would immediately scream out in a sharp tone, "let + my book alone." If her brother should attempt to reply, she + would snappishly retort, "I don't care, you shall not meddle + with it." Her conduct towards Annie was just the same, in + fact, she more than once answered her grandmother in such a + tart and abrupt manner, that her mother whipped her for it. + </p> + <p> + A few days after the grandmother had left, there was a + package came for—"Miss Annie." It proved to be a most + beautiful writing desk, made of rosewood, inlaid with + mother-of-pearl. It was filled with fine paper, pens, wafers, + sealing wax, and a nice seal. It contained a note in these + words:—"This present is for a little girl who knows how + to keep her temper. From her affectionate grandmother." Susan + was so angry that she snatched the paper and tore it into + pieces.

She has + a nice blue ribbon fastened to its foot so that it cannot fly + away. It is eating a cherry from the hands of the old + gentleman. The Canary bird is the most charming of all + singing birds. They can be tamed and when so, are very + playful and full of capers. I will tell you some of their + tricks. Some years ago, there was an Italian gentleman + exhibiting some funny birds in New York. I went to see him + and his birds. One Canary jumped on the back of a crow and + rode him around the room. Another Canary bird stood on the + barrel of a pistol, when his master discharged it, without + stirring at the report. The master then suspended a ring from + the ceiling to within a few feet of the floor. The ring was + surrounded with pitch and on fire. At his bidding, four or + five of the birds would fly through the ring, without burning + their feathers. He harnessed one to a little wagon and made + him draw it around the table. I was highly amused, and + determined to buy a nice Canary and learn it some tricks. + </p> + <p> + I am saving my pennies, and will soon have a pet like + Lizzie's. + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p> + <p> + + </p><a name="image-14"><!--IMG--></a> + <center> + <img src="gcback.jpg" width="553" height="856" alt= + "Back Cover"> + </center> +<hr class="full"> +<pre> + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE GIRL'S CABINET OF INSTRUCTIVE AND MORAL STORIES*** + +******* This file should be named 10915-h.txt or 10915-h.zip ******* + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in:<br /> +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/9/1/10915">https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/9/1/10915</a> + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions 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.

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 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: + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">https://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +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. + +<a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext06">http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext06</a> + + (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: +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL">https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL</a> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc02ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc02ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a8effd4 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc02ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc03ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc03ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ce8f773 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc03ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc05ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc05ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ade98bf --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc05ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc07ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc07ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..88d20a3 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc07ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc09ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc09ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4610419 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc09ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc11ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc11ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a34ec2b --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc11ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc13ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc13ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0fcb895 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc13ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc15ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc15ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b6286af --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc15ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc17ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc17ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3153176 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc17ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc19ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc19ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f96892e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc19ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc21ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc21ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9b2a261 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc21ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gc23ill.png b/old/10915-h/gc23ill.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1fefacd --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gc23ill.png diff --git a/old/10915-h/gcback.jpg b/old/10915-h/gcback.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c5d4727 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gcback.jpg diff --git a/old/10915-h/gcfront.jpg b/old/10915-h/gcfront.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b2f3176 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915-h/gcfront.jpg diff --git a/old/10915.txt b/old/10915.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e632eb7 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915.txt @@ -0,0 +1,824 @@ +The Project Gutenberg eBook, The Girl's Cabinet of Instructive and Moral +Stories, by Uncle Philip + + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

COZANS, PUBLISHER, +No. 107 NASSAU STREET +1856. + + + + +[Illustration: Front Cover] + + + + +[Illustration: A Doll's Party.] + +A DOLL'S PARTY. + + +Here is a Doll's party. All the little girls of the vicinity who have +Dolls, have assembled in order to give their little favorites a nice +party. You see they all have Dolls. They are good girls. They are very +obedient. They attend school regularly, and as they are well-behaved +girls, Santa Claus left each of them a Doll at Christmas time. They have +learned their lessons for to-morrow, as their mothers have told them, +that duty before pleasure is the good girl's motto. They will play +sometimes with their Dolls. Will settle on some new Doll dresses, and +then bidding each other a kind good night they will return home to +sleep. As God is the protector of all good girls, each will say a +little prayer to Him before she goes to bed. + + + +[Illustration: The Vain Girl.] + +THE VAIN GIRL. + + +Many years ago there lived in one of the New England States, a fine +family, composed of father, mother, and six children. The children were +all good, and kind, and industrious, except one. Kate never would do as +she was bid. She was in every sense, a disobedient child. She gave her +parents much pain and trouble. She was what is called a vain girl. You +all know what a vain girl is. A vain girl, is one who attends more to +her dress and toilet, than to her books. Kate's father was going to New +York some time before Christmas--he told the girls, that if they were +good, kind and obedient while he was gone, he would bring them each a +pretty Album. They all promised to do just as their mother should wish. +The father went to New York and returned. The day after his return they +reminded him of his promise. He went to his desk and said, "Here they +are, but you want me to paint some flowers in them, well Ellen what do +you wish?" Ellen said, "a lily Pa, if you please." Julia chose a tulip, +and Lizzie a rose. Kate was silent, and her father asked her--"Well Kate +what shall I paint for you?" She hesitated, but finally said, "I would +prefer a portrait of myself." "Very well Kate," said her father, but at +the same time a sneer might have been seen on his curled lip. A few +evenings after, when there was a large party in the parlor--the father +gave each of the girls their Albums. Every one was pleased except Kate, +who burst into tears, and tossing the book on the floor, left the room. +The Album was picked up and there was a portrait of Kate just as she had +desired, but beneath it was written, "The flower most admired by Kate." + +It was a severe lesson--but let all vain girls profit by it. + + + + +[Illustration: Lizzie and Fashion.] + +LIZZIE AND FASHION. + + +Lizzie is taking a ride on her pet Fashion. She is not afraid of +falling, for she can ride very well. Fashion seems proud to feel +such a nice little burden on his back. See how he capers and prances. +He knows Lizzie will not fall, and so he amuses himself and her, by +jumping about. Lizzie rides every morning and evening. She is delicate, +and so her Pa bought her a fine horse. She rides out alone. She is not +pretty--but she is happy and good natured. When the other girls see her +riding they sneer at her and say, "There goes ugly Liz on the pretty +horse." The girls are silly and thoughtless. They should reflect that +a happy face looks much more agreeable than a handsome one. + +As soon as Lizzie has said her prayers in the morning, she goes out on +her horse. She rides some miles and then returns to breakfast. As she is +delicate, she does not go to school, but studies under her mother. She +studies hard, and is very obedient. After dinner she goes out again and +rides for two or three hours. It is pleasant to see how Fashion loves +her. As soon as she appears at the door--he is impatient of restraint, +and wishes to rush to her. When she has been riding, and returned, and +he is going to the stable, he will turn frequently to see her as she +goes along the piazza. She has learned him many tricks. He stands up +on his hind legs. He will dance: in fact, he will do almost anything +she will command him. She has accomplished it all by kindness and a +smiling face. + + + + +[Illustration: Eva's Pet.] + +EVA'S PET. + + +You know what a pleasure it is to have a pretty pet Dog. I do not mean +those little lap dogs. They are of no use, and when I see a little girl +with a lap dog, I always say, "Well, well, that little girl is, and +always will be foolish." And why do I say so? Because I know she will +neglect her books and her other duties just to play with Flora. If you +want a good pet dog--get a large one. The best dogs are the St. Bernard +or Newfoundland. They are very large. They are jet black. They are very +intelligent, and after you have had them for some time, you can make +them perform many tricks for the amusement of your little friends. The +St. Bernard Dog is a native of the Alps. He is named after a convent on +Mount St. Bernard in Switzerland. The convent is 8,038 feet above the +foot of the mountain. It is a Benedictine monastery and hospital, and is +the highest inhabited spot in Europe. Travellers passing the Alps into +Italy have to pass over the mountains. They are covered with snow and +very dangerous. The good monks go out with their dogs and if they find +any traveller benighted or frozen in the snow, they lend him succour and +take him to the monastery. The dogs are very strong and can carry a man. +They are all good water dogs, and if you were to fall in the water, one +of them could hold you up until rescued by your friends. Growler is +waiting for his breakfast. He is Eva's pet. After she has eaten her +breakfast, she will give him his. See how quiet and submissive he looks. +He is a good dog. + + + + +[Illustration: Rescue of Eva.] + +RESCUE OF EVA. + + +Eva's parents live in the South. Her father was a Planter. Their house +was but a short distance from the river. Eva and her pet dog Growler +used to romp up and down on the sandy shore of the river. One day Eva +and Growler went to the water as usual. Eva saw a boat there and thought +she would get in, but not untie the rope. She had not been in the boat +very long, when she felt it moving off--she was frightened and did not +know what to do. Growler rushed into the water, and continued to bark +very loud. As Eva saw the boat getting away out into the river, she +jumped out and with an oar commenced to swim for the shore. Growler took +hold of her dress, and was taking her ashore, when an old slave named +Sam, rushed into the water and taking her from the faithful dog, bore +her in safety to the land. She lay sick for some time and she had a +horrid fever for many days. Growler was always by her bed side, and +would only leave it to get something to eat. Eva's father gave Sam his +freedom and a purse of gold. Sam would not leave his master--"No--no, +Sambo no leave Massa and Eva--Sambo lub Massa," said the good old man. + +Growler still continues in the family, and he is beloved by all--for +had it not been for him Eva would have been drowned. You see him in the +water; poor fellow he was tired--but he struggled on and was successful. + + + + +[Illustration: The Girl's Party.] + +THE GIRLS PARTY. + + +This is a girls party. All the young ladies and gentlemen are assembled +to celebrate the birth day of Kate. They are playing one of the games of +Forfeits. Kate is on her knees. I will explain the game to you. It is a +nice game; so when you get a party of boys and girls together, you can +play it. There are various kinds of games of Forfeits; they are almost +as various as the forfeits themselves. The manner of conducting them is +the same for all. Some play is settled on, such as the "Arbor of love;" +"Spinning the plate," or any other. When all the ladies and gentlemen +have had to give various forfeits, the work of redeeming them commences. + +A lady sits down and a gentleman blindfolded kneels at her feet. She +takes up each article separately, and asks for judgment. The gentleman +then tells what the owner of the forfeit must do, in order to redeem +it. The sentence once passed is never revoked, and so the sooner the +punishment is performed the better. The game waits until the culprit +performs his sentence. + +In the party you see, they have been playing a game of forfeits and +sentence is being passed upon all those, who have been unfortunate +enough to have had them to pay. Kate, without not knowing it, has just +sentenced herself to kiss all the gentlemen in the room, but as there +are only two, it will be an easy task. + + + + +[Illustration: The Dispensary.] + +THE DISPENSARY. + + +The Dispensary. What is a dispensary? The Dispensary is a room or house +in which medicines and drugs are compounded and dispensed. In all large +cities there are dispensaries where the poor people go and have their +ailments attended to for nothing. When any poor man or woman meets with +an accident he or she, is taken to the hospital where they receive +the best of care. In all boarding schools there is a room near the +Infirmary, where they keep the medicines. In the picture is a little +girl who has just entered the boarding school, and she is looking around +the buildings. She has come down to the Infirmary to see all the sick +girls, and to amuse them. She has stopped at the Dispensary, and as she +never was in one before, the good lady is explaining all the medicines. +She answers all her questions, and translates the name of the drugs for +her. She is a kind old lady, and Mary has promised to go down and see +her often, as she wishes to learn all she can about drugs. + +Mary pointed to a large black bottle and asked if there was wine in it. +"Oh no, but vitriol, it burns awful and is very dangerous," said the +old lady. Mary did not wish to hear more, but rushed out of the room, +fearing the bottle would explode. She told the old lady that she never +would touch anything unless she knew what it was--and then she would +not "burn her fingers." + + + + +[Illustration: The May Queen.] + +THE MAY QUEEN. + + +It is May morning. May is the most beautiful of all months. Then it is, +that all nature seems to awaken from its winter slumbers. The grass +springs up, the little birds sing and chirp, and display their beautiful +plumage. The trees shoot forth their buds, the fruitful covering of +future foliage. We no longer greet each other in the warmed room, but, +"Good morning," is sweetly spoken from the open window, or among the +bushes of the garden. We hunt flowers and climb hills, and thus exercise +both the body and the mind. In many parts of Europe, on the first of +May, all the juveniles of both sexes, walk to a neighboring wood, and +breaking limbs off trees, adorn them with ribbons and crowns of flowers. +They are accompanied by a band of music and the blowing of horns. They +then return to their homes and make their houses triumphant in the +flowery spoils. In the afternoon, a May pole is erected in the centre +of the village. The pole is consecrated to the goddess of flowers, and +is profusely adorned with them. It remains standing all the year. + +The young girls then select by lot, one of their number to be crowned +as May Queen. She is crowned with a beautiful wreath of flowers and +presides for the rest of the day over the amusements of her subjects. +In the picture you see the May pole--the Queen, the crowner, and her +two maids of honor. + + + + +[Illustration: Strawberries.] + +STRAWBERRIES. + + +Who does not like Strawberries? They are the most delicious of all +berries. They are to be found growing in a wild state in almost all +temperate climates. During the past few years, the consumption of the +strawberry has become so enormous, as to make it a profitable berry to +cultivate. Jane Smith has been cultivating some berries, not for the +market, but for her own use. She has her two sisters in the garden, and +is showing them her nice beds. You see the kind of place she has chosen +for her beds. Shaded and dark situations under the drip of trees, are +unfavorable for the fruit. You should always choose an open, airy and +warm exposure. The seeds should be sown in the spring, in a bed of light +rich mould. You must be careful and not allow the weeds to grow up with +your plants, as they will be sure to kill them. The plants do not bear +the first season, but produce well the second. The plant never bears +fruit but once, and is then turned down to make room for a new crop. You +must plant your seeds in rows, and do not plant any thing else between +the rows. The rows should be from nine to twelve inches apart. You must +not think this a great trouble, for you know how delicious they are; one +or two saucers of good berries and cream, will amply repay all trouble. + + + + +[Illustration: Going Alone.] + +GOING ALONE. + + +Here is a lady showing her husband, how she has taught little Lizzie to +go alone. Lizzie is only fourteen months old, and can walk across the +room alone. She does not walk but runs. It is amusing to see her. She +will crawl to the side of the room, then stand up, and after balancing +herself for a moment, she will run towards her mother. See how delighted +they all seem. The father is pleased, to see his little girl walk, for +then, he can soon take her out with him in his walks. You know that it +is said we must all "creep before we walk," well, I will illustrate this +for you by a nice story. "Many centuries ago, there reigned over Thebes, +Laius and Iocasta. Laius was one day killed on the road as he was airing +himself in his chariot. Shortly after, a terrible plague broke out in +Thebes, and the Sphinx ravaged all the neighborhood. The Sphinx gave out +that the plague would cease and his ravages be ended, when this riddle +was solved:--'What animal walks on four feet in the morning, two at noon +day, and three in the evening.' None of the wise men could solve it, and +so their misfortune continued. At length, Iocasta the Queen, said that +whoever could solve the riddle, should be king and have her hand in +marriage. One Oedipsus hearing of the offer, and having been insulted in +Corinth, went to Thebes, and thus rendered the solution of the riddle. +'The animal,' he said, 'was man. In his infancy, the morning of life, he +walks on hands and feet: at manhood, the noon-day of life, he walks on +his feet alone: in old age, the evening of life, he walks with a stick.' +Oedipsus was married to Iocasta and reigned as King." + + + + +[Illustration: The Ill Natured Girl.] + +THE ILL NATURED GIRL. + + +Here is a representation of an ill natured little girl. See what an +angry and unpleasant expression her countenance has assumed. She is +angry at her sister and is tearing up a note, sent to her sister by her +grandmother. I will tell you the story. The grandmother of those three +children, was on a visit to the house. She had observed how violent and +overbearing Susan was, and how properly her sister Annie behaved. Annie +was of a gentle, mild, and willing disposition. If Susan's brother +should happen to take up her book, she would immediately scream out in a +sharp tone, "let my book alone." If her brother should attempt to reply, +she would snappishly retort, "I don't care, you shall not meddle with +it." Her conduct towards Annie was just the same, in fact, she more than +once answered her grandmother in such a tart and abrupt manner, that her +mother whipped her for it. + +A few days after the grandmother had left, there was a package came +for--"Miss Annie." It proved to be a most beautiful writing desk, made +of rosewood, inlaid with mother-of-pearl. It was filled with fine paper, +pens, wafers, sealing wax, and a nice seal. It contained a note in these +words:--"This present is for a little girl who knows how to keep her +temper. From her affectionate grandmother." Susan was so angry that she +snatched the paper and tore it into pieces. The lesson will do her good. + + + + +[Illustration: Lizzie's Pet.] + +LIZZIE'S PET. + + +Lizzie is showing her grandfather her pet bird. Her grandfather has the +gout, and cannot walk. He has to keep his foot resting on a stool, and +all the amusement he has, is derived from Lizzie and her pet bird. It +is a Canary. She has a nice blue ribbon fastened to its foot so that +it cannot fly away. It is eating a cherry from the hands of the old +gentleman. The Canary bird is the most charming of all singing birds. +They can be tamed and when so, are very playful and full of capers. I +will tell you some of their tricks. Some years ago, there was an Italian +gentleman exhibiting some funny birds in New York. I went to see him and +his birds. One Canary jumped on the back of a crow and rode him around +the room. Another Canary bird stood on the barrel of a pistol, when his +master discharged it, without stirring at the report. The master then +suspended a ring from the ceiling to within a few feet of the floor. The +ring was surrounded with pitch and on fire. At his bidding, four or five +of the birds would fly through the ring, without burning their feathers. +He harnessed one to a little wagon and made him draw it around the +table. I was highly amused, and determined to buy a nice Canary and +learn it some tricks. + +I am saving my pennies, and will soon have a pet like Lizzie's. + + + + + +[Illustration: Back Cover] + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE GIRL'S CABINET OF INSTRUCTIVE +AND MORAL STORIES*** + + +******* This file should be named 10915.txt or 10915.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/9/1/10915 + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions 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.

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.

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. + +http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/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: +https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** diff --git a/old/10915.zip b/old/10915.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bf35308 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10915.zip |
