She had a +sort of yoke, on which the kettles were hung as she carried them. + +The pool formed by the spring was so smooth and clear, that Flora could +see herself in it; and some one who found her looking in it, one bright +morning, called the pool "Flora's Looking-Glass." + +As Flora grew up, some of the neighbors tried to make her leave the old +woman, and come and live with them; but Flora said, "No: she has been +kind to me when there was no one to care for me, and I will not forsake +her now." + +So she kept on in her humble lot; and the old woman taught her the names +of all the herbs and wild flowers that grew in the wood; and Flora +became quite skilful in the art of selecting herbs, and extracting their +essences. + +There was one scarce herb that grew on the border of "Flora's +Looking-Glass." It was used in a famous mixture prepared by the old +woman; and, when the latter was about to die, she said to Flora, "Here +is a recipe for a medicine which will, some day, have a great sale. Take +it, and do with it as I have done." + +Flora took the recipe, and the old woman died. But poor Flora was so +kind and generous a girl, that she gave the medicine away freely to all +the sick people; nor did she try to keep the recipe a secret. + +So, though she was not made rich by it, she was made happy; and, as +weeks passed on, a man who was a doctor, and had known her father, came +to her, and said, "Come and live with me and my wife and daughters, and +I will send you to school, and see that you are well taught." + +"But how can I pay you for it all?" asked Flora. + +"The recipe will more than pay me," said the good doctor. "You shall +have a share in what I earn from it; and you shall help me make the +extract." + +Flora now goes to school in winter; but in midsummer she pays frequent +visits to "Flora's Looking-Glass," and thinks of the kind old lady who +taught her so much about herbs and flowers. + +ANNA LIVINGSTON. + + +[Illustration: A SHOT AT AN EAGLE.] + + + + +CHINESE SCENES. + + +I have two little girls here in China, who are constant readers of "The +Nursery." They think I can tell you little readers at home of some +pretty sights they see here. They have asked me so often to do so, that, +now they are tucked away for the night, I will try to please them. + +In landing at Hong Kong, after a long voyage, it looks very odd to see +the water covered with small boats, or _sampans_, as the Chinese call +them. In each boat lives a family. It is their house and home; and they +seldom go off of it. + +They get their living by carrying people to the ships, and by fishing. +They have a place in the bottom of the boat, where they sleep at night; +and, in cold weather, they shut themselves up in it to keep from +freezing. I went out in one of these boats a few days ago. The water was +very rough; and I was quite astonished, after being out some time, to +see a pair of bright eyes shining from below, through a small crack, +nearly under my feet. + +Coming back, it was not quite so rough; and the owner of the bright +eyes--a little girl four years old, with a baby strapped on her +back--came "up topside," as they call up above. When the baby was fussy, +the girl would dance a little; and so the baby was put to sleep in this +peculiar fashion. + +It is a very common sight to see a boatwoman rowing the boat, with her +baby strapped on her back. The child likes the motion, and is very +quiet. It must be very hard for the mother; but the Chinese women have +to endure more hardships than that, as I shall show you in future +numbers of "The Nursery." + +In cold weather, these people must suffer very much, they are so poorly +clad. They put all the clothing they have on the upper part of their +body; and their legs and feet are hardly covered at all. Fortunately for +them, it is not very cold in this part of China. + +[Illustration] + +In Canton, there are many more boats than here; for the floating +population there is the largest in the world. I have seen as many as ten +children in one boat. The small ones have ropes tied around them: so, if +they fall into the water, they can be picked up easily. + +A little fire in a small earthen vessel is all that these strange people +have to cook their food by. The poorer ones have nothing but rice to +eat, and consider themselves very fortunate if they get plenty of that. +Those better off have a great variety of food; and some of it looks +quite tempting; but the greater part is horrible to look at, and much +worse to smell. + +All the men and boys have their hair braided in long cues. The women +have theirs done up in various styles; each province in China having its +own fashion. Neither women nor men can dress their own hair. The poorest +beggars in the street have their hair done up by a barber. + +For the men there are street barbers, who shave heads on low seats by +the roadside; but, for the higher classes and the women, a barber goes +to their houses. The women's hair is made very stiff and shiny by a +paste prepared from a wood which resembles the slippery-elm. It takes at +least an hour to do up a Chinese woman's hair. + +C.E.C. + +HONG KONG, CHINA. + + + + +MINOS. + + +I read, the other day, an account, taken from an English paper, of a +wonderful little dog, called Minos. He knows more arithmetic than many +children. At an exhibition given of him by his mistress, he picked out +from a set of numbered cards any figure which the company chose to call +for. When six was called, for instance, he would bring it; and then, if +some one said, "Tell him to add twelve to it."--"Add twelve, Minos," +said his mistress. Minos looked at her, trotted over to the cards, and +brought the one with eighteen on it. + +Only once was he puzzled. A gentleman in the audience called out, "Tell +him to give the half of twenty-seven." Poor Minos looked quite +bewildered for a moment; but he was not to be baffled so. He ran off, +and brought back the card with the figure on it. Was not that clever? + +He has photographs of famous persons, all of which he knows by name, and +will bring any one of them when told to. He can spell too; for when a +French lady in the company wrote the word "_esprit_," and handed it to +him, he first looked at it very hard, and then brought the letters, one +by one, and placed them in the right order. + +When Minos was born, he was very sickly and feeble; and his mother would +not take care of him, and even tried to kill him. But little Marie +Slager, daughter of the lady who has him now, took him and brought him +up herself. + +[Illustration] + +From that time he was her doll, her playfellow, her baby. She treated +him so much like a child, that he really seemed to understand all that +was said to him. She even taught him to play a little tune on the piano. + +Almost all performing animals are treated so cruelly while they are +being trained, and go through with their tricks in so much fear, that it +is quite sad to see them. But the best thing about Minos's wonderful +performances is, that they were all taught him by love and gentleness. + +Remember this, boys, when you are trying to teach Dash or Carlo to fetch +and carry, or draw your wagon: there is no teacher so good as love. + +ELIZABETH SILL. + + + + +[Illustration] + + GRANDMA'S GARDEN. + + + This is the way; here is the gate, + This little creaking wicket; + Here robin calls his truant mate + From out the lilac-thicket. + The walks are bordered all with box,-- + Oh! come this way a minute; + The snowball-bush, beyond the phlox, + Has chippy's nest hid in it. + Look at this mound of blooming pinks, + This balm, these mountain daisies; + And can you guess what grandma thinks + The sweetest thing she raises? + You're wrong, it's not the violet, + Nor yet this pure white lily: + It is this straggling mignonette,-- + I know you think it silly,-- + But hear my story; then, perhaps, + You'll freely grant me pardon. + (See how the spiders set their traps + All over grandma's garden.) + Long since I had a little friend, + Dear as your darling sister, + And she from over sea, did send + This token, ere Death kissed her: + 'Twas in a box, a tiny slip, + With word just how to set it: + And now I kiss its fragrant tip,-- + You see I can't forget it. + + +[Illustration] + + + Well, here I get thyme, sage, and mint, + Sweet marjoram and savory; + (Cook says they always give a hint + Of summer, rich and flavory); + Here's caraway--take, if you will: + Fennel and coriander + Hang over beds of daffodil, + And myrtles close meander. + What's next to come, one may not know-- + But then I like surprises: + Just here, where tender roses blow, + A tiger-lily rises. + Here cock's-comb flaunts, and columbine + Stands shaded by sweetbrier, + And marigolds and poppies shine + Like beds of glowing fire. + A group of honest sunflowers tall + Keep sentry in yon corner; + And close beside them on the wall, + The peacock, strutting scorner, + Spreads out his rainbow plumes alone, + Or stoops to pick a berry, + Where briers climb the mossy stone + Beneath those clumps of cherry. + Now we'll turn back: you've seen but few + Of my old-fashioned beauties, + But take away a nosegay new + To cheer you at your duties; + Take pansies and forget-me-nots; + Pluck pinks, bluebells, and roses, + And tell me if you know a spot + Where flourish fairer posies. + Grandma herself no lovelier ground + This side of paradise has found. + + + M.A.C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +GREAT-AUNT PATIENCE AND HER LITTLE LION. + + +"What relation is she to me?" said black-eyed Fred, as he heard his +mother say that her Aunt Patience was coming to visit them. + +"She is your _great_-aunt," said mamma; "and I want you and Bertie to be +very polite to her." + +The little boys had heard their mamma say that Aunt Patience was "a lady +of the old school," and that she was afraid the children would trouble +her, as they were not quite so still as the little boys and girls used +to be forty or fifty years ago. + +So Fred and Bertie stood somewhat in awe of this Great-Aunt Patience; +and when the dear old lady arrived, and papa and mamma went to the cars +to meet her, the two boys were watching rather timidly for the carriage, +at the parlor-windows. + +As she came up the steps, leaning on papa's arm, little Bertie +exclaimed, "Oh, see, Freddie! she is not _great_ at all: she is as +little as a girl." + +"Yes, and she laughs too," said Fred; "and her eyes are as blue as +mamma's, and her hair as white as a snowdrift." + +Just then, the driver took off a strange-looking thing from the +carriage, and brought it up the steps. It was an old-fashioned trunk, +covered with stiff, reddish-brown hair. The boys had never seen a hair +trunk, and it seemed to them, at the first glance, more like some kind +of an animal than a trunk. + +Before they had a chance to examine it, their mamma called them to come +and kiss their aunt, which they did very politely, as they had been +directed. But her sweet face won their hearts at once; and Bertie +exclaimed, "Oh, you are not a _big_ Patience: you are a _little_ good +Patience, I know; and I am not a bit afraid of you!" + +[Illustration] + +"Bless your little heart, dear! what has mamma been telling you to make +you afraid of me?" said auntie with a merry laugh. + +As soon as they could get away, the boys ran up stairs to see what the +driver had carried to their aunt's room. Fred discovered what it was as +soon as he opened the door; but Bertie, who was not yet four years old, +was greatly puzzled. "What can it be?" said he, keeping a safe distance +away from it. + +Now, Fred liked to play tricks upon his little brother sometimes: so he +said, with pretended alarm, "Why, perhaps it is a young lion." + +After this startling suggestion, Bertie did not wait an instant. He ran +as fast as his legs would carry him, screaming, "O mamma! there is a +young lion up stairs. O papa! do get your pistol, and shoot him." The +poor child was really in a great fright; and all the family ran at once +to see what could be the matter. + +They met naughty Fred, laughing, but looking rather guilty. "Why, it is +only great Patience's trunk," said he. "Bertie thinks it is a lion." +Papa told Fred he did very wrong to frighten the boy so; but they all +had a good laugh at poor Bertie's mistake. Bertie was soon induced to +take a nearer look at his frightful little lion; and, when Aunt Patience +took out from it two or three quarts of chestnuts, it lost all its +terrors. The boys were allowed to play in the room as much as they +pleased; and the innocent hair trunk was made to do duty as a wolf, a +bear, a tiger, and various other wild beasts. + +"I wish you would stay here a hundred years!" said little Bertie to his +aunt, one day. "I wish she would stay for ever and ever, and longer +too!" said Fred. "What do you go back to your old school for?" said +Bertie. "My school!" said Aunt Patience. "I have not any school, and +never had any."--"Why," exclaimed the little boy, "my mamma said you +were a lady of the old school!" + +Then mamma and auntie had a merry laugh; and the boys were informed that +mamma only meant that Aunt Patience was a very polite lady of the olden +time. + +The boys constantly forgot to call her "auntie," but remembered the +title of "great," and the precious old lady was just as well pleased to +have them call her "Great Patience." + +When she bade them good-by, they both cried, though Fred was very +private about his tears; and both boys declared that the best visitors +they ever had were "Great Patience and her little red lion." + +MAMMA. + + + + +[Illustration] + + CROSSING THE BROOK. + + + Over the stepping-stones, one foot and then another; + And here we are safe on dry land, little brother. + + + + +[Illustration] + +NELLIE'S LITTLE BROTHER. + + +When Nellie was quite young, she lost her dear mother; and two sad years +passed by for the little girl. She used to go and look at her mother's +portrait, and wonder whether she could see Nellie, though Nellie could +not see her. + +But, at last, her father gave her a new mother, who was so kind and +good, that Nellie loved her very much; though she never could forget her +first dear mother. One happy day, Nellie learned that a little brother +had been born. How glad she was then! + +Some weeks passed by before Nellie was allowed to take the little fellow +in her arms; but, when she was permitted to do this, it seemed to her +that she had never felt such delight before. When he would put up his +tiny hands, and feel of her face, she was ready to weep with joy. + +But one night the nurse was ill; and there was nobody to take care of +the baby. Nellie begged so hard to be allowed to sit up and attend to +it, that she was at last permitted to do so. She passed two hours, +watching baby as he slept, and thinking of the nice times she would +have with him when he grew up. + +At last he awoke; and then Nellie gave him some milk from the porringer, +and tried to rock him to sleep again. But the little fellow wanted a +frolic: so she had to take him in her arms, and walk about the room with +him. + +She walked and walked till it got to be twelve o'clock; and then she +stood in the faint lamplight, before the portrait of her own mother, and +it seemed as if the sweet face were trying to speak to her. + +But Nellie was so very sleepy, that she hardly knew what she was about. +She walked, like one in a dream,--from the bed to the cradle, and from +the cradle to the bed,--and all at once baby seemed quiet, and she was +walking no longer. + +At last she started up, and found she had been lying on the bed. The +faint light of the early dawn was coming through the eastern +window-panes. Where was baby? Oh! what had Nellie done with him? She +jumped from the bed, ran here and there, but could not find him. + +At last she looked in the cradle, and there he was, lying snugly asleep. +Without knowing what she had done, she had put him in the cradle, and +had covered him up, and then, without undressing herself, had gone and +lain down on the bed. "Oh, you darling, you darling!" cried Nellie; but +the tears came to her eyes, and she could say no more. + +MARY ATKINSON. + +[Illustration] + + + + + ANNIE'S WISH. + + + "I wish I were a fairy,-- + A fairy kind and good, + I'd have a splendid palace + Beside a waving wood. + And there my fairy minstrels + Their golden harps should play; + And little fairy birdies + Should carol all the day. + + "A hundred fairy minions + On my commands should wait; + And want and pain should never + Be known on my estate. + I'd send my fairy heralds, + To solace, soothe, and aid; + And love and joy and pleasure + Each dwelling should pervade." + + "But, ah! you're not a fairy, + Dear little Sister Ann; + So pray now be contented, + And do the best you can. + To parents, friends, and teachers, + Be docile, true, and fond, + And you will work more wonders + Than with a fairy's wand." + + + GEO. BENNETT. + +[Illustration: Outline Drawing by MR. HARRISON WEIR, as a drawing lesson.] + + + + +[Illustration] + + GRANDPA'S PIGS. + + Mamma says that I am only + a little boy; but I think I am + quite big. I shall be six years + old next May. + + Last summer, mamma took + me to grandpa's, to stay a few + weeks. When we got to the + house, I asked grandpa if I + might go with him every day + to feed the pigs. He said, + "Yes." + + So the next morning I went. + There were four large pigs, and + six little ones; and, when the + food was put into the trough, + they were all so eager to get it, + that they kept tumbling over + one another. + + One morning, there was not + a pig in the pen. We hunted + everywhere, but could not find + them. At last, grandpa said, + "They must be in the turnip- + garden." Sure enough, there + they were. + + The moment they saw us, + they scampered; but, after a + while, we got them all back in + the pen. Then grandpa said + he wanted to know how they + got out: so we hid in the barn. + + By and by, an old pig peeped + around, to see if anybody was + watching. As he saw no one, + he grunted, as much as to say, + "All right," and started for a + large hole beneath the fence. + But, before he could get out, + grandpa nailed a plank over + the hole. + + I wanted a pig to take home + with me; but grandpa said it + would not live in the city. + + + HOMER. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +CAPTAIN BOB. + + +At the hotel near the seaside, where I staid last summer, there was a +little fellow who was known to the guests as Captain Bob. He was from +the West, where he had never seen a large sheet of water. But, at his +first sight of old Ocean, he gave him his heart. + +Old Ocean seemed to return the tender liking; for he was very kind to +Captain Bob, who was nearly all day at the seaside, running some sort of +risk. There was nobody to prevent his going in to swim as often as he +chose. + +Nobody had taught Captain Bob to swim. How he learned he could not +explain. He was always ready to venture into a boat. He took to sculling +and rowing quite as naturally as a duck takes to swimming. + +One morning, we were all made sad by the report that Captain Bob was +missing. He had not been seen since noon the previous day. Messengers +were sent in every direction to make inquiries after the captain. +Several persons said, that, the last they had seen of him, he was +standing by the big post on the wharf, with a little boat in his hand +that an old sailor had made for him. + +Two days were at an end, and still there was no news of Captain Bob. His +parents and friends were greatly distressed. But, on the morning of the +third day, there was a shout from some of the gentlemen on the piazza; +and, on hastening to find out what was the matter, whom should I see but +Captain Bob, borne on the shoulders of two young men, and waving his cap +over his head. + +Bob's story was this: A mackerel-schooner was anchored off shore; and +Bob had persuaded the sailor, who had given him the toy-boat, to take +him on board. The sailor had done this, not suspecting what was to +happen. A school of mackerel had been seen; and, as the breeze was fair, +the skipper spread all sail, and was soon five miles off shore. + +The mackerel were so plenty that the fishermen made the most of their +luck, and did not return to the shore near the hotel till the third day. + +"Did you have a good time, captain?" I asked. + +"A _good_ time!" exclaimed Captain Bob. "It was the jolliest time I ever +had. You should have seen me pull in the fish." + +After this adventure, Captain Bob was more of a hero than ever among the +people of the hotel. + +EMILY CARTER. + + + + +[Illustration] + + "PAPA CAN'T FIND ME." + + + No little steps do I hear in the hall; + Only a sweet silver laugh, that is all. + No dimpled arms round my neck hold me tight; + I've but a glimpse of two eyes very bright. + Two little hands a wee face try to screen: + Baby is hiding, that's plain to be seen. + "Where is my precious I've missed so all day?" + "Papa can't find me!" the pretty lips say. + + "Dear me! I wonder where baby can be!" + Then I go by, and pretend not to see. + "Not in the parlor, and not on the stairs? + Then I must peep under sofas and chairs." + The dear little rogue is now laughing outright, + Two little arms round my neck clasp me tight. + Home will indeed be sad, weary, and lone, + When papa can't find you, my darling, my own. + + + GEORGE COOPER. + + + + +THE SOLDIER-DOG. + + +I have been reading in "The Nursery" the story about Mellie Hoyt and his +dog Major. My papa often tells me about another good old dog, named +Major. He was a soldier-dog, that papa knew when he went to the war. + +Major was a kind dog to all his friends; but he would bark at strangers, +and sometimes he would bite them. He once tried to bite a steam-engine +as it came whistling by; but the engine knocked him off the track, and +almost killed him. He had never seen a steam-engine before, and he knew +better than to attack one after that. But he was not afraid of any thing +else. + +When the soldiers went out to battle, Major would go with them, and bark +and growl all the time. Once, in a battle way down in Louisiana, Major +began to bark and growl as usual, and to stand up on his hind-legs. Then +he ran around, saying, "_Ki-yi, ki-yi_." By and by he saw a cowardly +soldier, who was running away; and he seized that soldier by the leg, +and would not let him go for a long time. He wanted him to go back and +fight. + +Soon after this, Major began to jump up in the air, trying to bite the +bullets that whistled over his head. When a bullet struck the ground, he +would run and try to dig it out with his paws. At last he placed himself +right in front of an advancing line of soldiers, as much as to say, +"Don't come any further!" He seemed to think that he could drive them +back all alone. + +By and by a bullet hit Major as he was jumping about; and he dropped +down dead. The soldiers all felt sad, and some of them cried. They +missed him like one of their comrades, and they had many to mourn for in +that dreadful battle. I hope there never will be another war. + +PINKY. + +PORTLAND, ME. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SURPRISE. + + +"Whose hands are over your eyes?

I will give you one more chance. Who is it?" + +"I think it must be little Miss Muffit,--the one who was frightened by a +spider." + +"Nonsense!

When I first knew +him, he was roaming about from house to house, playing on the fiddle, +and singing. + +Sometimes kind persons gave him money, and then he always looked happy. +But many times he got nothing for his music, and then he was very sad; +for he lived with a cruel master, who always beat him when he came home +at night without a good round sum. + +One day last spring, he had worked very hard; but people were so busy +moving, or cleaning house, that, when night came, he had very little +money. He felt very tired: so he went home with what he had. + +But his cruel master, without stopping to hear a word from the little +fellow, gave him a whipping, and sent him out again. He came to my gate, +long after I had gone to bed, and played and sang two or three songs; +but he did not sing very well, for he was too tired and sleepy. + +Just across the street, in an unfinished building, the carpenters had +left a large pile of shavings. Pedro saw this by the moonlight, as he +went along; and he thought he would step in and lie down to rest. His +head had hardly touched the pillow of shavings before he was asleep. + +He dreamed about his pleasant home far away in Italy. He thought he was +with his little sisters, and he saw his dear mother smile as she gave +him his supper; but, just as he was going to eat, some sudden noise +awoke him. + +He was frightened to find it was daylight, and that the sun was high in +the sky. In the doorway stood a kind gentleman looking at him. Pedro +sprang up, and took his fiddle; but the gentleman stopped him as he was +going out, and asked if that pile of shavings was all the bed he had. He +spoke so kindly, that Pedro told him his story. + +The gentleman felt so sorry for him, and was so pleased with his sweet, +sad face, that he took him to his own home, and gave him a nice warm +breakfast; and, being in want of an errand-boy, he concluded to let +Pedro have the place. + +Pedro has lived happily in his new home ever since; and, though he still +likes to play on his fiddle, he has no wish to return to his old +wandering mode of life. + +COUSIN EMILY. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + THE PARROT'S LAMENT. + + + Swinging in a gilded cage, + Petted like a baby's doll, + Thus I spend my dull old age, + And you call me "Poll." + But in youth I roved at will + Through the wild woods of Brazil. + + When you ask me, "What's o'clock?" + Or repeat some foolish rhyme, + And I try your speech to mock, + I recall the time + When I raised my voice so shrill + In the wild woods of Brazil. + + Sporting with my comrades there, + How I flew from bough to bough! + Then I was as free as air: + I'm a captive now. + Oh that I were roaming still + Through the wild woods of Brazil! + + + JANE OLIVER. + + + + +[Illustration] + +WHAT THE DOVE LOST. + + +Uncle Tom was walking slowly down the street, one sunny day, when he saw +a boy put his hand into a paper bag, take out a lemon, and throw it at a +plump gray pigeon that was trying to pick up some crumbs which had been +thrown out. + +Poor little pigeon! He had been fluttering, off and on, over the +crumbs,--now scared away by a fast trotting-horse, now flying to a +door-post to get rid of some rapid walker,--and had only just alighted +to pick up his breakfast, when he was struck right in the back by the +bullet-like lemon. + +Uncle Tom ran as quickly as he could, and took the panting little thing +up in his hand very gently. Just then the horse-car came along; and +uncle jumped into it, saying to himself, "I'll take this pigeon out to +little Emily. How she will dance and skip when she sees it!" + +The car went on and on, ever so far away from Boston, and by and by was +half-way across a bridge. The pigeon had lain nestled under Uncle Tom's +coat; and the warmth seemed to make it feel better. First it put one +round bright eye out, then the other, and took a peep at the people +sitting near it. + +Then, I think, its back must have ceased aching; for it grew lively, and +stirred around. Uncle Tom felt it moving, and was afraid that it would +presently try to get away: so he held it as close as he could without +hurting it. + +But just as he thought how safe he had it, and how tame it would be when +it had lived with its little mistress a while, it popped its head out +again. + +It popped so far out this time, that there was nothing to take hold of +but its tail-feathers. Uncle Tom clutched those firmly; but, to his +great astonishment, the pigeon gave another spring, and pulled itself +away, leaving all its beautiful tail-feathers behind it. + +Away it flew, down the car, over the heads of the people, out of the +door, past the head of the conductor (who did not know that he had such +a strange passenger), and out over the water, back to Boston. + +Uncle Tom was left with only a handful of dark-gray feathers to take +home with him; and little Emily had no pet pigeon, after all. + +AUNT EMMIE. + + + + +THE CHICKEN AND THE DOG. + + +Tantalus, as the old Greek fable tells us, was King of Lydia. Being +invited by Jupiter to his table, he heard secrets which he afterwards +divulged. To divulge a secret is to make it vulgar, or common, by +telling it. + +Poor Tantalus was punished rather severely for his offence; but he had +sinned in betraying confidence. Sent to the lower world, he was placed +in the middle of a lake, the waters of which rolled away from him as +often as he tried to drink of them. + +Over his head, moreover, hung branches of fruit, which drew away, in +like manner, from his grasp, whenever he put forth his hand to reach +them. And so, though all the time thirsty and hungry, he could not, in +the midst of plenty, satisfy his desires. + +Therefore we call it to tantalize a person to offer him a thing he longs +for, and then to draw it away from him. + +[Illustration] + +In the picture, a little chicken is looking up at a spider which sits +over her in the midst of its web. She watches it, hoping that it will +come so near to her little bill, that she can peck at it, and swallow +it. + +But the spider is on its guard. To and fro it swings, letting itself +down a little bit, but never so far as to be in any danger; and then, +just as the enemy prepares to snap at it, it climbs nimbly into its +secure network. + +The second Tantalus of our picture, the little dog, has, also, small +prospects of reaching the object on which his heart is set. At some +distance from him on the ground lies a bone, which he longs to get; but +the chain which fastens him, prevents his going near enough to seize it. +Both the dog and the chicken are _tantalized_, you see. + +Let us keep down our desires, try to reach only what is fairly ours, be +content with little, and never betray confidence. Then shall we avoid +the fate of Tantalus. + +UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +[Illustration: Musical Score] + + GIRLS & BOYS + + T. CRAMPTON + + + 1.

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. |
