Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An

Betsy, what a sight you are! + Oh! Slovenly Betsy, fie!" + + One rainy day her parents went + Some pleasant friends to meet. + They took Betsy along with them, + All dressed so clean and neat. + Nice little boys and girls were there, + With whom our Betsy played, + Until of playing she grew tired, + And to the garden strayed. + Out in the rain she danced awhile, + But 'twas not long before + Flat down she tumbled in the mud, + And her best clothes she tore. + +[Illustration] + + Oh! what a sight she was, indeed, + When in the room she came; + The guests all loudly laughed at her, + And she almost died with shame. + She turned, and to her home she ran, + And then, as here you see, + She washed her clothes, and since has been + As neat as she could be. + +[Illustration] + + + + +PHOEBE ANN, THE PROUD GIRL + + + This Phoebe Ann was a very proud girl, + Her nose had always an upward curl. + +[Illustration] + + She thought herself better than all others beside, + And beat even the peacock himself in pride. + +[Illustration] + + She thought the earth was so dirty and brown, + That never, by chance, would she look down; + And she held up her head in the air so high + That her neck began stretching by and by. + It stretched and it stretched; and it grew so long + That her parents thought something must be wrong. + It stretched and stretched, and they soon began + To look up with fear at their Phoebe Ann. + +[Illustration] + + They prayed her to stop her upward gaze, + But Phoebe kept on in her old proud ways, + Until her neck had grown so long and spare + That her head was more than her neck could bear-- + And it bent to the ground, like a willow tree, + And brought down the head of this proud Phoebe, + Until whenever she went out a walk to take, + The boys would shout, "Here comes a snake!" + +[Illustration] + + Her head got to be so heavy to drag on, + That she had to put it on a little wagon. + So don't, my friends, hold your head too high, + Or your neck may stretch, too, by and by. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE DREADFUL STORY OF PAULINE AND THE MATCHES + + + Mamma and Nurse went out one day, + And left Pauline alone at play; + Around the room she gayly sprang, + Clapp'd her hands, and danced, and sang. + Now, on the table close at hand, + A box of matches chanced to stand, + And kind Mamma and Nurse had told her, + That if she touched them they would scold her. + But Pauline said, "Oh, what a pity! + For when they burn it is so pretty; + They crackle so, and spit, and flame; + And Mamma often burns the same. + I'll only light a match or two + As I have often seen my mother do." + +[Illustration] + + When Minz and Maunz, the cats, heard this, + They said, "Oh, naughty, naughty Miss. + Me-ow!" they cried, "Me-ow, me-o, + You'll burn to death, if you do so. + Mamma forbids it, don't you know?" + + But Pauline would not take advice, + She lit a match, it was so nice! + It crackled so, it burned so clear,-- + Exactly like the picture here. + She jumped for joy and ran about, + And was too pleased to put it out. + +[Illustration] + + When Minz and Maunz, the cats, saw this, + They said, "Oh, naughty, naughty Miss!" + And rais'd their paws + And stretch'd their claws; + "'Tis very, very wrong, you know; + Me-ow, me-o, me-ow, me-o! + You will be burnt if you do so. + Mamma forbids it, don't you know?" + + Now see! oh, see! a dreadful thing! + The fire has caught her apron string: + Her apron burns, her arms, her hair; + She burns all over, everywhere. + +[Illustration] + + Then how the pussy cats did mew, + What else, poor pussies, could they do? + They screamed for help, 'twas all in vain, + So then they said, "We'll scream again. + Make haste, make haste! Me-ow! me-o! + She'll burn to death--we told her so." + + Pauline was burnt with all her clothes, + And arms and hands, and eyes and nose; + Till she had nothing more to lose + Except her little scarlet shoes; + And nothing else but these was found + Among her ashes on the ground. + And when the good cats sat beside + The smoking ashes, how they cried, + "Me-ow, me-o! Me-ow, me-oo! + What will Mamma and Nursey do?" + Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast + They made a little pond at last. + +[Illustration] + + + + +WHAT HAPPENED TO LAZY CHARLOTTE + + + "Here, Charlotte," said Mamma one day. + "These stockings knit while I'm away, + And should you fail, be sure you'll find + Mamma is strict, although she's kind." + +[Illustration] + + But Charlotte took a lazy fit, + And did not feel inclined to knit; + And soon upon the ground let fall + Needles, and worsted, hose, and all. + "I shall not knit," said she, "not I; + At least not now, but by and by;" + Then stretched, and yawned, and rubbed her eyes, + Like sluggards, when 'tis time to rise. + +[Illustration] + + But when Mamma came home, and found + The work all strewed upon the ground, + Quoth she, "You will not knit, and so + To school barefooted you shall go." + + This put poor Charlotte in a fright. + And though she knew it served her right, + She wept, and begged, and prayed; but still + She could not change her mother's will. + +[Illustration] + + To school, where all were spruce and neat, + Poor Charlotte went with naked feet. + Some showed their pity, some their pride, + While Charlotte hid her face and cried. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE CRY-BABY + + + "Oh, why are you always so bitterly crying? + You surely will make yourself blind. + What reason on earth for such sobbing and sighing, + I pray, can you possibly find? + There is no real sorrow, there's nothing distressing, + To make you thus grieve and lament. + Ah! no; you are just at this moment possessing + Whatever should make you content. + +[Illustration] + + Now do, my dear daughter, give over this weeping," + Such was a kind mother's advice. + But all was in vain; for you see she's still keeping + Her handkerchief up to her eyes. + +[Illustration] + + But now she removes it, and oh! she discloses + A countenance full of dismay; + For she certainly feels, or at least she supposes + Her eyesight is going away. + She is not mistaken, her sight is departing; + She knows it and sorrows the more; + Then rubs her sore eyes, to relieve them from smarting, + And makes them still worse than before. + +[Illustration] + + And now the poor creature is cautiously crawling + And feeling her way all around; + And now from their sockets her eyeballs are falling; + See, there they are down on the ground. + My children, from such an example take warning, + And happily live while you may; + And say to yourselves, when you rise in the morning, + "I'll try to be cheerful today." + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE STORY OF ROMPING POLLY + + + "I pray you now, my little child," + Thus once a kind old lady + Spoke to her niece in accents mild, + "Do try to be more steady. + I know that you will often see + Rude boys push, drive, and hurry; + But little girls should never be + All in a heat and flurry." + +[Illustration] + + While thus the lady gave advice + And lectured little Polly, + To see her stand with downcast eyes, + You'd think she'd owned her folly. + She did, and many a promise made; + But when her aunt departed, + Forgetting all, the silly maid + Off to the playground started. + +[Illustration] + + Now see what frolic and what fun, + The little folks are after; + Away they jump, away they run, + With many a shout and laughter. + +[Illustration] + + But fools who never will be taught, + Except by some disaster, + Soon find their knowledge dearly bought, + And of a cruel master. + This little girl, who, spite of all + Her good old aunt had spoken, + Would romp about, had such a fall + That her poor leg was broken. + +[Illustration] + + In sore amaze, those standing by + Then placed her on a barrow; + But oh! to hear her scream and cry + Their souls it sure did harrow. + +[Illustration] + + See how her brother bursts in tears, + When told the dreadful story; + And see how carefully he bears + The limb all wet and gory. + +[Illustration] + + Full many a week, screwed up in bed, + She lingered sad and weary; + +[Illustration] + + And went on crutches, it is said, + Until she died so dreary. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE STORY OF A DIRTY CHILD + + + The little girls whom now you'll see + Were sisters in one family; + And both enjoyed an equal share + Of a kind mother's anxious care. + This one in neatness took a pride, + And oft the brush and comb applied; + +[Illustration] + + Oft washed her face, and oft her hands; + See, now, thus occupied she stands. + +[Illustration] + + The other--oh! I grieve to say + How she would scream and run away, + Soon as she saw her mother stand, + With water by, and sponge in hand. + She'd kick and stamp, and jump about, + And set up such an awful shout, + That one who did not know the child, + Would say she must be going wild. + +[Illustration] + + In consequence it came to pass, + While one was quite a pretty lass, + And many a fond admirer gained, + And many a little gift obtained; + +[Illustration] + + The other, viewed with general scorn, + Was left forsaken and forlorn; + For no one can endure to see + A child all dirt and misery. + Behold how needful 'tis that we + Should clean in dress and person be; + Or else, believe me, 'tis in vain + We hope affection to obtain. + +[Illustration] + + A sloven will be always viewed + With pity by the wise and good; + While ev'n the vicious and the base + Behold with scorn a dirty face. + +[Illustration] + + + + +ENVIOUS MINNIE + + + Now Minnie was a pretty girl, + Her hair so gracefully did curl; + She had a slender figure, too, + And rosy cheeks, and eyes of blue. + And yet, with all those beauties rare, + Those angel eyes and curly hair, + Oh! many, many faults had she, + The worst of which was jealousy. + When on the brilliant Christmas tree + St. Nicholas hung his gifts so free, + The envious Minnie could not bear + With any one those gifts to share. + And when her sisters' birthdays came + Minnie (it must be told with shame) + Would envy every pretty thing + Which dear Mamma to them would bring. + +[Illustration] + + Sometimes great tears rolled from her eyes, + Sometimes she pierced the air with cries, + For hours together she would fret + Because their toys she could not get. + Ah, then! how changed this pretty child, + No longer amiable and mild. + That fairy form and smiling face + Lost all their sprightliness and grace. + Her tender mother often sighed, + And to reform her daughter tried. + "Oh! Minnie, Minnie," she would say, + "Quite yellow you will turn some day." + +[Illustration] + + Now came the merry Christmas feast; + St. Nicholas brought to e'en the least + Such pretty presents, rich and rare, + But all the best for Minnie were. + Now to her little sister Bess + St. Nicholas brought a yellow dress; + This Minnie longed for (envious child), + And snatched it from her sister mild. + Then all in tears did Bessie run + To tell her mother what was done. + +[Illustration] + + Then Minnie ran triumphantly + To try the dress on, as you see. + But Minnie was not satisfied, + She pouted, fretted, sulked, and cried; + Sisters and brothers had no rest,-- + She vowed their presents were the best, + And springing quickly to the glass, + What saw she there? Alas! alas! + Oh! what a sad, such deep disgrace! + She found she had a yellow face. + "Ah, me!" she cried, now, in despair, + "Where are my rosy cheeks--oh, where?" + Exclaimed her mother, "Now you see + The punishment of jealousy." + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE LITTLE GLUTTON + + + Oh! how this Mary loved to eat,-- + It was her chief delight; + She would have something, sour or sweet, + To munch from morn till night. + She to the pantry daily stole, + And slyly she would take + Sugar, and plums, and sweetmeats, too, + And apples, nuts, and cake. + +[Illustration] + + Her mother Mary oft reproved, + But, ah! it did no good; + Munch, nibble, chew, from morn to night, + The little glutton would. + +[Illustration] + + One day, upon some bee-hives near + She chanced to cast her eyes; + "How nice that honey there must taste!" + She cried, and off she flies. + On tiptoe now the hives she nears, + Close up to them she creeps, + And through the little window panes + Quite cautiously she peeps. + "Oh, dear! how good it looks!" she cries, + As she the honey sees; + "I must, I will, indeed, have some; + It cannot hurt the bees." + And then a hive she gently lifts,-- + Oh, foolish, foolish child,-- + Down, down it falls--out swarm the bees + Buzzing with fury wild. + With fright she shrieks, and tries to run, + But ah! 'tis all in vain; + Upon her light the angry bees, + And make her writhe with pain. + +[Illustration] + + Four weeks and more did Mary lie + Upon her little bed, + And, ah! instead of honey, she + On medicine was fed. + Her parents grieved so much at first + Their child so sick to see; + But once more well, with joy they found + Her cured of gluttony. + +[Illustration] + + + + +SOPHIE SPOILALL + + + I never saw a girl or boy + So prone as Sophie to destroy + Whate'er she laid her hands upon, + Though tough as wood, or hard as stone; + With Sophie it was all the same, + No matter who the thing might claim, + No matter were it choice or rare, + For naught did the destroyer care. + Her playthings shared the common lot; + Though hers they were, she spared them not, + Her dolls she oft tore limb from limb, + To gratify a foolish whim. + +[Illustration] + + "Fie!" said her mother, "don't you know, + That if you use your playthings so, + Kriss Kringle will in wrath refuse + To give you what you might abuse? + Remember, how in times gone by, + You've always found a rich supply + Of Christmas presents; but beware, + You'll find no more another year." + +[Illustration] + + You'd think such words would surely tend + To make this child her ways amend. + But no; she still her course pursued, + Regardless of advice so good. + But when her mother sees 'tis plain + That all her arguments are vain, + Says she, "Since I have done my best, + I'll let experience do the rest." + Meantime the season of the year + For Christmas gifts was drawing near, + And Sophie doubted not that she + An ample store of them would see. + At length the happy hour was come. + The children, led into the room, + Behold, with wonder and surprise, + Three tables set before their eyes. + One is for Nelly, one for Ned, + And both with choicest treasures spread. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SLOVENLY BETSY*** + + +******* This file should be named 19915.txt or 19915.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/9/9/1/19915 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.
