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.

INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +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 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. + +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 *** |
