It has +not only held its own during these hard times, but gone on increasing. +Canvassers may take hold of it with the assurance that future numbers +will be improvements even on the past. + +"Playing the King," in our present number, will be a good piece for +humorous declamation at school. Both the artist and the poet have done +their work well. + +For the coming holidays, there will be no juvenile work equal in +attraction to the "NURSERY PRIMER," which will now soon be ready. It +will be the best book for beginners ever got up. Already we have +received numerous orders for it, to which we shall soon respond. + +"The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful Book" ought to be remembered by +dealers ordering for the holidays. These books have only to be seen to +be appreciated. The Nursery series of books is allowed to be the best +for the purpose designed, namely, the teaching of children to read, +_chiefly by their own efforts_, that has ever appeared. + +Unaccepted articles will be returned to the writers _if stamps are sent +with them_ to pay return postage. Manuscripts not so accompanied will +not be preserved, and subsequent requests for their return cannot be +complied with. + + +[Hand-->] ==New Subscribers for 1876, whose names and money are sent us +before November next, will receive the last three numbers of 1875 FREE.== + + +[Hand-->] We want a special agent in every town in the United States. +Persons disposed to act in that capacity, are invited to communicate +with the publisher. + +[Illustration] + + + + + THE DELIGHTS OF THE SEASIDE. + + + Oh merry, merry sports had we, last summer on the beach,-- + Lucy and Oliver and I, with Uncle Sam to teach! + At times, clad in our bathing-suits, we'd join our hands, all four, + And rush into the water, or run along the shore. + + The wet sand, how it glistened on the sunny summer day! + And how the waves would chase us back, as if they were in play! + And when, on the horizon blue, a sail we would espy, + How "Ship ahoy!" or "Whither bound?" we all of us would cry! + + The white, white sand, so smooth and hard, oh what a place for fun! + With no one by to check our screams, or say, "Now, pray, have done!" + The sea-birds, not at all disturbed by all our mirthful noise, + Would cry to us, as if they said, "Shout on, shout on, my boys!" + + Sometimes we'd seek for flattened stones, and skim them o'er the waves; + Then go where, in the piled-up rocks, the sea had hollowed caves; + Or sit and feel the cooling breeze in silent happiness; + Or hunt for seaweed in the clefts, and take it home to press. + + And well do I remember there a little shallow creek, + Where we would go and sail our ships, at least three times a week: + We loaded them with cargoes rich, and sent them all to Spain; + And back they came with heavy freights, by which we made much gain. + + Oh! pleasant pastimes on the beach, how often I recall + The ocean grand, the distant sails, the rocks, the lighthouse tall! + They do not fade, these pictures bright, from memory's inner view; + And age itself shall never dim their colors ever new. + + EMILY CARTER. + +[Illustration] + + + + +MABEL AND HER FRIEND CARLO. + + +Mabel lives on a hill, quite near a beautiful lake, and is very fond of +going with her papa to take a row on the water. Sometimes they visit the +woods on the other side of the lake, and pick wild flowers, or go where +the water-lilies grow, near the shore, and gather a bunch of the pretty +white blossoms. + +But I must tell about Mabel's friend Carlo. He is a large shaggy dog, +owned by a gentleman who lives near. Although quite a young dog, he +knows a great deal. He is very fond of water, and is wild with delight +at the prospect of a swim. + +His master owns a large sail-boat, and, as the water near the shore is +not deep, he has to use a small boat to reach it. When Carlo sees him +take down the oar from its place in the yard, he runs up, and takes it +in his mouth, as much as to say, "Let me carry that for you, master." +Then he trots down the hill with the oar, feeling very proud that he is +allowed to carry it. + +One day, Carlo took hold of the rope with his teeth, and drew the small +boat to the shore; so that his master, who was in it, did not have to +use the oar. + +Mabel loves Carlo very much; and, although he is a large dog, he knows +that he must play very gently with little boys and girls, and not hurt +them with his great paws. + NED + + + + + PLAYING KING. + + + Ho! I'm a king, a king! A crown is on my head; + A sword is at my side; and regal is my tread: + Ho, slave! proclaim my will to all the people round,-- + The schools are hereby closed; henceforth must fun abound. + + Vacation shall not end; all slates I order smashed; + The man who says "arithmetic"--he must be soundly thrashed; + All grammars shall be burnt; the spellers we will tear; + The boy who spells correctly--a fool's cap he shall wear. + + No dolls shall be allowed, for dolls are what I hate; + The girls must give them up, and learn to swim and skate; + Confectioners must charge only a cent a pound + For all the plums and candy that in the shops are found. + + That man who asks a dime for any pear or peach-- + I'll have him hung so high, that none his feet can reach; + No baker is allowed hereafter to bake bread; + He must bake only pies and cake and ginger-snaps instead. + + All lecturers must quit our realm without delay; + The circus-men and clowns, on pain of death, must stay; + All folks who frown on fun, at once must banished be: + Now, fellow, that you know my will, to its fulfilment see! + + ALFRED SELWYN. + +[Illustration] + + +A TRUE ANTELOPE STORY. + + +Some time ago, I told the readers of "The Nursery" about catching a +buffalo-calf. I will now tell them about a young antelope which we +caught, and another which we almost caught. + +Tip and I were in that part of Western Kansas which is left blank on the +maps. Two hunters, Thompson and Hughes, had joined us; and we were +coming back from a buffalo-chase. We had been crawling lazily along, +over prairie, through valley, up and down hill, since sunrise, and it +was now nearly noon. + +All of a sudden, from a clump of tall grass near us, up sprung an +antelope and a pair of beautiful fawns. Like a flash, the old one and +one of the fawns started over the brow of the ridge on which they were +lying; while the other little fellow began running around in a circle, +as you have seen ponies do at the circus, bleating as hard as he could. + +The boys leaped from the wagons in an instant, while I remained to hold +the horses. Ranging themselves around the circle, the three hunters +every now and then, dashed headlong after the fawn as he flew past; but +missed him by a rod or more every time. + +Our dog Landy, also, was on hand for the fun; and it was a laughable +sight to see the great awkward fellow straining every nerve to overtake +the little streak of animated lightning that flashed before him. Landy +was a Newfoundland shepherd, and I knew that nothing could induce him to +hurt the fawn if he should catch him. + +While I was watching the sport, and laughing at the drollery of it, all +at once I heard a stamping on the other side of the wagon, and, stepping +quickly around the horses' heads, I saw the old doe, and a buck and doe +with her. + +[Illustration] + +As the fawn came bounding along the circle, the buck and does, bleating +anxiously, darted in ahead of him, rushing right by the men and dog. +Never stopping an instant, the big buck led the way, the does and fawn +followed; and, before you could say "Jack Robinson," they were "over the +hills, and far away." + +This was the antelope that we _almost_ caught. The boys came back to the +wagons, thoroughly fagged out, and looking painfully silly. + +Again we drove along, but had not proceeded more than a mile or two, +when up sprung another old doe, and ran toward Landy, stamping her +fore-foot fiercely. Of course the foolish dog took after her as hard as +he could go,--just as she wanted him to do; and a fine chase she led +him, always taking care not to leave him so far behind as to discourage +him, and make him turn back. + +We knew at once by her actions that she had a fawn near there; and so, +while she was leading Landy away from it, we set about hunting it up. In +a few minutes, I came across the little slender-legged beauty, snugly +curled up under a tuft of grass. As I came upon him, he dashed out of +cover with a shrill, plaintive little "baa-baa, baa-baa," and, as fawns +always do in such cases, began running in a small circle. + +Landy, disgusted with his hopeless chase, came trotting back, and at +once struck in after the fawn. This one was not so fleet as the other; +and by and by Landy overtook him, and tried to stop him by pushing him +over with his nose. This frightened the fawn so badly, that he made +direct for Tip, who was squatting in the long grass in wait for him, and +rushed joyfully into his arms. + +We took the bright-eyed little thing into the wagon, and by night he was +so tame, that he would follow us around; and, when we lay down to sleep +on the ground, I gave him a corner of my blanket for a bed. At last we +got back to Thompson's log-house, which stood near the timber; and, when +we went away we gave the fawn to his two little girls. I would really +like to know what ever became of it. + + PERRY, O. LLOYD WYMAN. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + The Apple Tree. + + + Up in the apple-tree + See the rosy cheeks; + See the balls that look like gold; + See the crimson streaks. + In the lovely autumn day, + Bright as in the bloom of May, + Filled with fruit, and fair to see, + Is the apple-tree. + + Under the apple-tree + See the rosy cheeks: + Little Ginx, the baby, + What is it he seeks? + Ah! his tiny teeth are white, + And are eager for a bite,-- + Such a tempting store to see + Is the apple-tree. + + Under the apple-tree, + Other rosy cheeks,-- + Edith, Mabel, Gold-Locks, + Full of happy freaks. + Here they run, and there they run, + Shouting merrily, if one + Fallen in the grass they see + From the apple-tree. + + CLARA DOTY BATES. + + + + +A COUNCIL OF HORSES. + + +On the large plains of South America, horses run wild in great numbers. +They are caught by means of a lasso, which is a rope with a noose at one +end. This is thrown with great dexterity over the neck of the wild +horse. + +The artist has called the picture which we here present "A Council of +Horses." Do they not look as if they were taking advice of one another? +The white horse, with his erect neck and head, seems to be the leader, +or chief. He is willing to hear what the others may have to say; but he +means that they shall follow him, after all. + +And can horses really make known their wishes to one another? It would +almost seem so, though we cannot prove it. Wild horses choose their own +chiefs, and these give the signal of departure. If any extraordinary +object appears, the chief commands a halt. He goes to discover what it +is, and, after his return, gives, by neighing, the signal of confidence, +of flight, or of combat. + +Five sorts of neighing may be noticed: that of joyfulness, of desire, of +anger, of fear, and of sorrow. A feeling peculiar to the horse is +emulation. Whoever has witnessed a horse-race can understand the ardor, +vehemence, and struggle for victory, which excite the energies of both +horses and men. The animals have often tried to hold their rivals back +by the teeth. This has been known to happen when the horses are left +entirely to themselves, as on some of the Italian race-courses, where +the horses run without riders. + +The horse has a strong memory. Franklin relates, that he had a horse +that conducted him through a hilly country where it was difficult to +find the road. Every time Franklin himself was unable to tell which road +to take, he would leave the reins on the horse's neck, and the good +beast, left to itself, never failed to go right. + +[Illustration] + +The noblest conquest that man ever made over the animal creation is that +of the horse. Every thing in him breathes out vivacity and energy. That +need of continual movement, that impatience during repose, that nervous +motion of the lips, that stamping of the feet, all indicate a pressing +need of activity. + + UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +THE PET OF THE SHIP. + +PART III. + + +One day when the ship was at anchor in one of the ports on the western +coast of South America, a number of sheep were brought on board. Whether +Dennis regarded them as intruders, or not, I cannot say; but his +treatment of them was anything but kind. + +[Illustration] + +The poor sheep stood in great fear of him, and fled in alarm whenever he +made a charge at them. One by one they began to disappear; and, at last, +only one--a little fellow whom the sailors afterward named Billy--was +left. + +He was greatly distressed when the last of his companions was taken +away, and ran bleating about the deck in search of him. To add to his +troubles, that dreadful bully Dennis, who had been watching him for some +time, was now coming towards him. He was frightened nearly to death. + +What must have been his delight when he saw in Dennis's eyes a look of +pity, and heard his friendly grunt! I don't know what Dennis said; but I +do know, that, half an hour afterwards, Billy had forgotten all about +his troubles, and was lying down with his head resting in Dennis's fat +neck. + +Even the rough sailors were pleased; and as they looked at Dennis, who +was fast asleep, they said, "Now that was a fine thing, and Dennis was +the pig to do it. He was willing to fight with a flock of sheep; but, +when it came to quarrelling with one little fellow, he was too noble for +that." + +[Illustration] + +Thenceforth Dennis and Billy were inseparable, and no pair ever agreed +better. There were times, however, when Dennis seemed a little vexed +with Billy, though he was always as kind as possible. I will tell you of +an instance. + +Billy would always watch the crowd about Dennis, when the latter was +taking his bath, with a great deal of anxiety; and, if Dennis did not +appear very shortly, he would begin bleating loudly. + +This would disgust Dennis immensely; but he couldn't bear to think that +Billy's feelings were hurt: so he would leave his nice bath, and push +his way through the men, until Billy could see him. Then he would return +to the pump, grunting in a manner that plainly showed his feelings. + +He was certainly saying, "I do wish that sheep had a little more of the +pig about him. If I am out of his sight for a moment, he begins to cry, +and take on in such a manner, that I must show myself to him; and then I +have all the trouble of making the sailors pump again." + +But the sailors only waited to make Dennis beg a little. They had no +idea of not pumping again. They were always pleased when he showed so +much good feeling for Billy; and generally he got a larger allowance of +water to pay for it. + +I believe that Dennis was not living when the ship reached California. +That ever he became food for his sailor friends no one can imagine. +Therefore his fate must remain a mystery, unless some of my readers +happen to know one of the crew of "The Vanderbilt," and can learn from +him something on the subject. + +If they can, there are many, no doubt, who would be glad to hear from +them in the pages of "The Nursery." My little girls would, at least. +But, probably, Dennis has more of a place in their thoughts than he can +have in those of others. + +C.E.C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE UNMOTHERLY HEN. + + +Now, my dear children, if you will be very quiet, I will tell you a true +story, which I sometimes tell my little daughter Fanny and her cousin +Grace, when they climb up on my knees just before going to bed. + +On a farm near Fishkill, where Fanny's Aunt Jane lives, they raise a +great many chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. When I was a boy, ever +so many years ago, I used to have great fun hunting for eggs through the +hay and straw in the barns. + +Well, last year one of the hens, instead of laying her eggs in the +hen-house or barn, like a well-mannered hen, stole off under a +wood-pile, and was not seen for three weeks, when she made her +appearance with a fine brood of chickens. To keep her from straying away +again, she was put into a coop. For several days, she was a good mother +to her children; but, after a week or so, she began to act very +strangely, and, when her children came near her, she would peck and +abuse them. + +Would you believe it, children? in one day, this unmotherly hen had +pecked all but one of her chickens to death; and, when Aunt Jane found +this poor chap, he had but one eye, and all the toes were gone from one +foot; so that he had to stand on the other. At first, Aunt Jane thought +it would be a mercy to kill the little fellow, and put him out of pain; +but she finally determined that she would try to cure him. + +So she took him into the kitchen, and made him quite comfortable in a +box half filled with cotton-batting, and placed near the stove. She gave +him cracked-corn to eat, and plenty of water to drink, and, after a +while, he got so strong, that he hopped out of the box, and was just as +jolly a chicken as he could be, with only one eye to see with, and only +one foot and the stump of another to walk on. + +Still he would not go out and play with other chickens of his age, but +persisted in hanging around the kitchen. One morning, when Aunt Jane +went into the breakfast-room, she found him on the table, helping +himself from a dish of stewed potatoes. Such impudence could no longer +be tolerated: so the saucy little cripple was banished to the barnyard +to learn manners. + +And what do you think became of the unmotherly hen? She lost all her +friends. She was despised and hated by everybody on the farm. She was +pointed at as "that cruel, speckled hen," until life became a burden to +her. She was not permitted to have any more chickens. When the cold +weather came, she was sent to a poor woman for a thanksgiving dinner; +and it is to be hoped that all the hens in the barnyard took warning +from her fate. + + C.R.W. + LANSINGBURGH. N.Y. + +[Illustration: Outline Drawing by MR. HARRISON WEIR, as a drawing +lesson.] + + + + +THE CHILDREN'S VISIT TO THE LIGHTHOUSE. + + +Charlie and Georgie were staying at Appledore, one of the Isles of +Shoals, and, with two other little children, had many nice times fishing +and sailing. + +The lighthouse is on White Island, which, as you see in the picture, is +a lonely and rocky place. It would be very dangerous for any ship to +come in from sea on that part of the coast, if it were not for the +friendly warning of the brilliant light. + +One warm, sunny morning, Charlie and Georgie, with their papa and mamma, +and their two little friends, rowed across from Appledore, and landed on +the pebbly beach of White Island. Here the children ran about, and +picked up stones until they were tired; and then the whole party seated +themselves on some shaded rocks, and ate their lunch of crackers and +bananas. + +While they were eating, an old white dog, belonging to the lighthouse +keeper, came up and made their acquaintance. Georgie shared his cake +with him; and it was amusing to see the old dog watching with eager eyes +every piece that went into any mouth but his own. + +When lunch was over, the two older children, Charlie and Anna, led the +way; and all were soon climbing the winding stairs in the lighthouse +tower. When they reached the top, they found themselves in a small room +with windows on every side, and the great lamp in the centre. The +lantern is made of red-and-white glass, and turns around, so that first +a red, and then a white, light may be seen far out at sea. + +The keeper explained how, after lighting the lamp, he wound up the +machinery which caused the lamp to revolve; and told them of the lonely +hours he had spent in the little room below the lamp, while the waves +dashed, and the storm beat outside. + +[Illustration] + +For many weeks in the winter he lives there all by himself, and sees no +one; but, in the summer time, there is hardly a day when he does not +have a boat full of visitors. He always gives them a hearty welcome, and +makes himself very agreeable. I suppose he feels as though he must make +the most of society while he can get it. + +The children listened to his talk with great interest. With many thanks +for his kind attentions, they bade him "Good-by," and, intent on +collecting shells on another island near, stepped into their boat, and +were rowed away, leaving the man and his friendly dog to enjoy each +other's company. + + CHARLIE'S MAMMA. + + + + +GOING AFTER COWS. + + +When Edward was eight years old, his mother told him he might go with +John, the hired man, to drive the cows from the pasture. How happy the +little boy was! + +Every day he would be ready as soon as John gave the word; and off they +would go, through the woods, over hills and rocks, and gurgling brooks, +wherever the ding-dong of the distant cow-bells pointed the way. + +Sometimes they had a long search before they could find all the cows; +for the pasture was very large, and the cows would wander about in +every part of it, to find the best feeding-places. + +[Illustration] + +On the way home, Edward would run ahead of the cows, and open the bars; +and sometimes he would sit on the wall, and pat each cow as she came +through. + +When the cows reached the barnyard, Edward would help milk. There was +one old cow which he called his own, and which he named Carrie. She +always stood very still while being milked, and that was one reason why +he liked her better than any of the rest. + +After milking, he helped John to carry in the milk, and his mother often +gave him a mug full. Oh, how nice it was! + + W.T.O. + + + + +[Illustration] + + ROLY-POLY. + + + Roly-Poly is three years old, + Three years old, and a trifle over: + Roly-Poly is round as a ball, + Jolly as larks, and sweet as clover. + + Roly-Poly has stars for eyes, + A heavenly chin with a dimple in it, + Peaches for cheeks, the bud of a nose, + And a tongue that is never still a minute. + + Roly-Poly gets up in the morning,-- + Morning, quoth I? it's the crack of the dawn!-- + Dresses himself in a boot and a stocking, + Flies to his sister as swift as a fawn. + + Pulls at her eyes with his fat little fingers,-- + Crazy for stories, that's all the matter!-- + "Oh! I am sleepy and cross," she cries; + "You, Roly-Poly, disperse and scatter!" + + But Roly-Poly's a resolute tyrant; + Father and mother are captives wholly: + So what can a poor big sister do + But yield to a king like Roly-Poly. + + Roly-Poly's a man of business: + He canters to market on grandpa's cane, + Orders a breakfast of peppermint-candy, + And gallops his pony home again. + + Roly-Poly's a man of pleasure: + Sorrow and care are for grown-up stupids: + Pictures and kisses, toys and caresses, + Fondling and fun, for dimpled Cupids. + + After the sun has gone out of the south, + The night comes down on his eyelids slowly; + He topples asleep with his thumb in his mouth,-- + What an iniquity, Roly-Poly! + + OLIVE A. WADSWORTH. + + + + +ELSIE'S DUCKS. + + +Elsie was the daughter of poor parents, who lived on the borders of a +lake. Once, when she was very ill with a fever, a good neighbor made her +a present of three young ducks. Elsie was much pleased, and she soon +began to get well. + +Her mother would bring a large tub of water into the room where the +little invalid lay; and the three ducks would swim about, and swallow +the crumbs which Elsie threw to them. + +As soon as she got well, she would drive the ducks down to the lake, and +let them swim. They were so tame, that they would come out of the water +at her call. + +Sometimes her father and the rest of the family would get into a boat, +and he would row across the lake to the opposite side, where some +families lived who employed Elsie's mother to wash clothes for them. + +[Illustration] + +At these times, the three ducks would follow the boat. Perhaps they did +not like to trust their dear Elsie on the water, unless they were by to +help her in case of need. + +Sometimes old and young would join in a song; and then far over the lake +would be heard the words: + + "Come to the sunset tree, the day is past and gone, + The woodman's axe lies free, and the reaper's task is done." + +It was a very pretty sight, on a summer evening, when the bright clouds +over the setting sun threw their tints on the water, to see the ducks +swimming by the side of the little boat which contained Elsie and the +rest of the family. It was so pretty a sight, that a good artist made a +picture of the scene. We give you a copy of it here. + + IDA FAY. + +[Illustration] + + + + +FISHING FOR TROUT. + + +The trout belongs to the salmon family. Its flesh is generally of a pale +pink or yellow color. It is one of the handsomest fish to be found in +our waters. The variations of its tints are very beautiful; and the red +spots on its skin distinguish it from common fish. + +I never had much luck in catching trout. One summer I went from the city +to try the trout-streams in Northern New York. I had a handsome rod, and +a line nicely baited with an artificial fly; but, though I was very +persevering, my success was small. + +I remember sitting for hours on the slender bridge just below the Upper +Cascades of Buttermilk Fall, represented in the picture; but my +patience was not rewarded by the capture of a single trout. I was sorry +for this; for I had depended on getting one for my dinner. + +As I was about retiring, a little barefoot fellow, about twelve years +old, came along with a common fishing-pole, and hook baited with a worm, +and said, "Mister, I'll catch a trout for you."--"Do it, then," said I. + +He threw his line over a smooth spot in the pool below; and, before he +had been at it five minutes, he pulled up a noble trout, large enough +for a good dinner. Another and another were pulled up in quick +succession. I did not know what to make of it; for I thought I had +fished in a very scientific way. + +"Teach me the knack," said I. "Oh, it can't be taught," replied the boy. +"Well, here is a dime for your trouble," said I, putting the fish into +my pail. "Do you suppose I take pay for what I do for sport, mister?" +said little barefoot, waving back my hand with the air of a prince. + +After that we became good friends, and met often at the bridge; but I +never could learn his knack of catching trout. + + ALFRED SELWYN. + +[Illustration] + + + + + +[Illustration] + +WE THREE. + + +What fine times we have together!--Carlo, John, and Bella; by which last +I mean myself. Carlo has the advantage of the other two of us sometimes; +for he has four legs, and can run faster than either John or I. But then +we can do a great many things that Carlo cannot do. + +For example, John and I sometimes take our books, and sit down on the +rocks in the wood, under the thick trees, and read stories. And then +Carlo will lie down at our feet, and go to sleep; for he cannot +understand the nice stories which the other two friends enjoy so much. + +But wait till we go into the swamps after berries, or into the +wood-borders after hazel-nuts. Then Carlo is wide awake, you may be +sure. If he sees a snake, what a noise he makes! We can always tell by +the tone of his bark when he has found a snake. + +And, when John climbs a tree after nuts, how anxiously Carlo will stand +underneath and watch him, so afraid is he that the little boy will get +a fall! And how the good dog will jump and show his pleasure when he +sees John once more safe on the firm ground! + +Oh! we have fine times together, we three, both in summer and winter; +for Carlo likes to see us skate on ice, and is fond of a snowballing +frolic. In all our sleigh-rides he goes with us, and takes great care of +us. We are dear friends, we three, and I should no more think of +striking Carlo than of striking John. + + BELLA. + + +PET, THE CANARY. + + +A little girl by the name of Agnes, who lives in Maine, and who much +enjoys "The Nursery," has a beautiful, bright canary, which her papa +brought her one day in a paper-box. Agnes named him Pet. + +The little fellow has become so tame, that he is allowed to stay out of +his cage as long as he wishes, always going to it of his own accord when +bedtime comes. One day I found no pins on my pin-cushion; and, seeing +them scattered around on the bureau, I wondered who could have done the +mischief. I soon found, by watching, that it was Pet's work. + +Every day he took his stand on the pin-cushion, in front of the glass, +to pull out all the pins. I saw him once work a long time trying to +stick one back by tipping his head, first one side and then the other, +holding the pin tightly in his bill; but he soon gave it up. + +Little Fannie, Agnes's two-year-old sister, often shares her lunch with +him; he sitting on the edge of the saucer, and helping himself while she +is eating. As I write, he is sitting on the tassel of the shade, looking +out of the window. Some day I'll tell you more of Pet's pranks. + + MAMMA. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE CAT SHOW. + + +It was at the Crystal Palace, in Sydenham, England. I wish all the +readers of "The Nursery" could have seen it. + +There were over three hundred cats in cages. Each one had a nice red +cushion in the front-part of the cage, and in the back part a dish of +water or milk. Each one had a ribbon around the neck, to which was +attached a medal with the number of the cage. The ribbons were of all +colors. + +The cats that had taken the first prize were known by a little blue flag +suspended over the front of the cage, and were the largest cats. Very +many of them were lazily sleeping on their cushions, as happy as if they +were in their own homes. They took little notice of the people who were +looking at them; and, as a placard on each cage ordered spectators to +"move on," no one could spend much time in trying to attract their +attention. + +I can hardly tell you about all the cats, there were so many,--some all +white, some all black, and some all yellow; black-and-yellow, +black-and-white, black-and-gray, gray-and-white, black-and-yellow-and-white; +cats with long hair, and cats with short; cats with tails, and cats without. +One large Russian cat, called the "Czar," was brown, with smooth, short, +shining fur, which looked like seal-skin. + +Then there were kittens of all sizes and colors. In one cage was a black +mother-puss, with four perfectly white kittens, their eyes not yet open. +Another black mother had two kittens,--one black, and one gray. A +black-and-yellow puss had one black, and one yellow kitten. + +In some of the cages were two or three large kittens having a good time +together. Some of them had balls to play with; some were climbing on the +sides of the cage or frolicking with one another; and others were +running around after their tails, in real kitten fashion. + +Just before five o'clock, the baskets in which the cats were brought +were placed on the tops of the cages. Some of the cats reached up and +tried to get hold of them. They all seemed to know that the show was +over, and that they would soon be able to run and jump about, with +plenty of air and space. + +I must not forget to tell you how quiet all these cats were. Not one +"Me-ow" was to be heard. When, out of sight of the cages, one would +never have known there was a cat in the building. + + SALLIE'S MAMMA. + + + + +[Illustration: sheet music] + + GOING THROUGH THE CORN. + + + Music by T.

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. + + +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. |
