The question came through a servant who had just +answered the door-bell. Mr. Prim looked out of the window. The snow was +still falling. So he sent out word, "No shovelling wanted till the +storm's over," and went on with his reading. + +By and by there was another ring at the door; and in a moment the +servant-girl came in, saying, "The snow-shovellers are here again, sir, +and they want to see you." + +Mr. Prim stepped out into the entry, where he found two rough-looking +boys, both of whom greeted him at once with, "Wish you a happy new year! +Please, sir, it's done snowing now." + +"That means," said Mr. Prim, "that you both want the job of clearing off +the sidewalk; but which am I to give it to?" + +"Oh, sir!" said the bigger boy, "we are partners. I shovel, and Mike +sweeps." + +"And what are your names?" + +"Mine is Tom Murphy, and his is Mike Flynn." + +"Then," said Mr. Prim, "the firm is 'Murphy & Flynn.'" + +"That's it," said both boys with a grin. + +"Well, Murphy & Flynn, I will employ you to do my shovelling to-day, and +I will give you fifty cents for the job; but I am very particular. You +must not leave a bit of snow anywhere about the steps or sidewalk." + +"All right, sir," said the boys; and they went to work, while Mr. Prim +went back to his newspaper. He had not been reading many minutes, when a +loud shout in front of the house led him to look out of the window. The +picture shows what he saw. + +There were the two boys, each mounted on one of the stone lions at the +head of the steps, and shouting at the top of his lungs in the +excitement of an imaginary race. + +Mr. Prim was first astonished, then angry, then amused, at this +performance. He opened the window, and called out sharply, "Look here, +boys! do you call that work, or play?" + +The boys jumped down, and began to ply their broom and shovel with great +vigor. But Murphy looked up roguishly, and said, "We were just polishing +off the lions, sir." + +"Yes," said Mr. Prim, "and a paroxysm of fun got the better of you. +Well, it's excusable on New Year's Day. But, if the firm of Murphy & +Flynn expect to succeed in business, they must not mix so much play with +their work." And Mr. Prim shut the window. + +"I say, Mike," said Tom, "what was it the old man said had got the +better of us?" + +"That's more than I can tell," said Mike. "I can't remember such hard +words. But I know what he meant, and I guess he was about right." + + UNCLE SAM. + +[Illustration] + + + + +BUMBLE-BEE. + + +[Illustration] + + BUMBLE-BEE superbly dressed, + In velvet, jet, and gold, + Sailed along in eager quest, + And hummed a ballad bold. + + Morning-Glory clinging tight + To friendly spires of grass, + Blushing in the early light, + Looked out to see him pass. + + Nectar pure as crystal lay + In her ruby cup; + Bee was very glad to stay, + Just to drink it up. + + "Fairest of the flowers," said he, + "'Twas a precious boon; + May you still a Glory be, + Morning, night, and noon!" + + M. A. C. + + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +BILLY AND TOM. + + +WHEN I was a little boy, six or seven years old, my father had two white +horses, named Billy and Tom. Billy had one black foot, and a little dark +spot on his face; but Tom did not have a black hair on his whole body. + +Billy was the old family horse, kind, gentle, and loving. Anybody could +catch him, or lead him, or drive him. He liked to be petted, and in +return seemed to take pride in being kind to all in the family. + +Tom was a good horse too; but we had not owned him so long, and he did +not care much to have any one pet him. + +Billy was a little lame; and though he worked everywhere on the farm, +and in drawing loads on the road, yet he was generally excused from +going with the carriage, except when it was necessary for some of us +children to drive. + +One day my father went to the village with Tom, leaving Billy at home +alone, in a field near the house. He missed his old friend Tom. They had +worked together so much, that they had become great friends; and either +one was very lonesome without the other. + +Billy ran about here and there, neighing loudly whenever another horse +appeared in sight upon the road, hoping that it might be his friend Tom +coming back. + +At last I went out to comfort him. I patted his head and his neck, and +leading him by the mane to the fence, climbed first upon the fence, and +then upon his back. + +He seemed pleased, and started in a gentle walk along the farm-road +leading down into the field, away from the house. When he had gone as +far as I wished to ride, I called out, "Whoa!" + +But he was a wise old horse. Instead of stopping in the middle of the +road, where he then was, he turned out at one side, and stopped close by +the fence, for me to get off upon that; as much as to say, "A boy that +is not large enough to get upon my back without climbing a fence, is not +large enough to climb from my back to the ground." + + EDITH'S PAPA. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE WISE HARE AND HER PURSUERS. + + +A POOR little hare was one day closely pursued by a brace of greyhounds. +They were quite near her, when, seeing a gate, she ran for it. She got +through it easily; but the bars were too close together for the hounds +to get through, so they had to leap over the gate. + +As they did so, the hare, seeing that they would be upon her the next +instant, turned around and ran again under the gate where she had just +before passed. The hounds, in their speed, could not turn at once. +Their headway took them on some distance; and then they had to wheel +about, and leap once more over the upper bar of the gate. + +[Illustration] + +Again the hare doubled, and returned by the way she had come; and thus +she went backward and forward, the dogs following till they were fairly +tired out, while the little hare, watching her chance, happily made her +escape. + +Thus you see that wit and self-possession are sometimes more than a +match for superior strength and speed. If the little hare could not run +so fast as the greyhounds, she could outwit them, and they saw no way to +prevent it. + + UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +GENTLE JESSIE AND THE WASP. + + +THERE is a little girl in our village whom we call "Gentle Jessie;" for +she is so kind and gentle, that even the dumb animals and the insects +seem to find it out, and to trust her. + +On a dry pleasant day, last autumn, I saw her seated on the grass. I +went up to tell her not to sit there; for it is not safe to sit on the +ground, even in dry weather. + +As I drew near to Jessie from behind, I heard her talking. To whom could +she be talking? There was no one by her side; that is to say, no human +being. But soon I found she was talking to a wasp that was coming as if +to sting her. + +"Wasp, wasp, go away, and come again another day," said she. But the +wasp did not heed her. It flew quite near to her face. Instead of +striking at the bold insect, she merely drew back a little out of its +way; for she thought, "Surely the wasp will not harm me, if I do not +harm it." + +And she was right. It alighted near her for a moment, but did not sting +her; and gentle Jessie did not try to harm it. Then the wasp flew to the +flowers on her hat; but, not finding the food it wanted, at last it flew +away. + +"Well done, Jessie," said I, lifting her from the ground, and giving her +a kiss. + + EMILY CARTER. + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +GRETCHEN. + + + GRETCHEN'S old; she's neat and good: + See her coming from the wood! + She bears fagots on her back, + Lest her darlings fire may lack. + +[Illustration] + + Here you see her far from town, + With her darlings sitting down: + Gretchen, Emma, Fritz, and Paul,-- + They are happy, happy all. + + M. A. C. + + + + +FRIENDS IN NEED. + + +ONCE a poor crippled sparrow fell to the ground, and fluttered about in +a vain attempt to regain a place of safety. Some of its mates gathered +around it, and seemed eager to help it; but they did not know what to +do. Their chirping drew together a good many of the sparrow tribe. + +One thought this thing ought to be done, and another thought that. Some +tried to lift the helpless bird by catching its wings in their beaks; +but this failed, and such a chattering and scolding as took place! + +"I told you that wasn't the way to do it."--"How stupid!"--"You should +have taken my advice." Perhaps such were the speeches which were uttered +in bird-language; for all the little creature seemed much excited. + +[Illustration] + +Presently two of the birds flew away, but soon came back with a twig six +or seven inches long and an eighth of an inch thick. This was dropped +before the poor little cripple, and at each end was picked up by a +sparrow, and held so that the lame bird was able to catch the middle of +the twig in its beak. + +Then the crippled bird, with the aid of the other two, flew off, till +they came to the wall covered with ivy, where it had its home. There it +chirped to show how glad it was. All the other sparrows followed, as if +to share in the pleasure of the rescue. This is a true story. + + IDA FAY. + + + + +A NOONDAY LULLABY. + + +[Illustration] + + "TIC, tac!

Hush-sh-sh!" + Whisper leaves on the tree: + "As through our shadow soft sunlight streams, + See how the angels send smiles in his dreams! + Hush-sh-sh! Hush-sh-sh!" + + M. A. C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE BEAR THAT PUT ON AIRS. + + +THERE was once a bear that had been tamed and made to dance by a man who +beat him when he did not mind. This bear was called Dandy, and he had +been taught many queer tricks. He could shoulder a pole as if it were a +gun, and could balance it on his nose, or stand on his hind-legs and +hold it by his fore-paws behind his back. + +He did all these things at his master's bidding because he stood in +great fear of his master's whip. His master made a show of him; and, +though Dandy did not like it, he was forced to submit. + +[Illustration] + +But one day, when he had been left alone, the chain, that held him by a +ring in his nose, got loose from the ring; and Dandy was soon a free +bear. Taking his pole, he made his way, as fast as he could, to a +mountain where the woods were high and thick. + +Here he found a number of fellow-bears. Instead of treating them as +equals, he put on fine airs, told them what a rare life he had led among +men, how many nice tricks he had learned, and how much wiser he was than +all the bears that had ever lived. + +For a time the other bears were simple enough to take him at his word. +They thought, because he said so, that he must be a very great bear +indeed. He never was at a loss when they asked him a question, never +would confess his ignorance, and so had to say much that was not true. + +Dandy boasted so of the respect which men had paid him, that he made the +other bears think he was doing them a great honor by living with them. +He made them all wait on him. But at last a young bear, that had escaped +from a trap which some men had set for him, said to Dandy, "Is that ring +in your nose for ornament or for use?" + +"For ornament, of course," said Dandy. "This ring was a gift from a man +who was once my partner. He was so fond of me, and so pleased with my +dancing, that he never tired of serving me. He brought me all my food. +In fact I had him at my beck and call." + +"My friends," said the young bear, "he tells a fib. That ring was put in +his nose to be fastened to a chain. He was held a slave by the man who, +he says, treated him so finely. He was made to dance through fear of +being touched up with a red-hot iron. In short, he is what men call a +'humbug.'" + +"Yes, he is a humbug," cried the others, though they did not know what +the word meant. "We will have no more of his fine airs."--"I never liked +him."--"Drive him off."--"Send him back to his dancing-master!"--"Kick +him!"--"Stone him!"--"Beat him!"--"We'll have no humbug here." + +And so poor Dandy was driven out from the woods, and forced to get his +living by himself; while the knowing young bear that had exposed him, +looked on and laughed at his misfortune. If Dandy had not been so +boastful; if he had spoken the truth, and been modest,--he might have +been respected by his fellow-bears to the end of his days. + + ALFRED SELWYN. + + + + +[Illustration: DRAWING-LESSON BY HARRISON WEIR. + +VOL.

"I take pains because my +teacher tells me, that, if a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth +doing well." + +"Did he mean that we should try to do well even in trifles?" asked +Winifred. + +"Yes," answered Ernest, "because, as a great man once said, 'Perfection +is no trifle.'" + +Winifred sat looking at her brother, as, handling a pair of scissors, he +carefully cut out figures of horses, dogs, pigs, and various other +animals. + +Three years afterward she remembered this conversation; for it happened +at that time, that, her father having died, her widowed mother was left +almost destitute with a family of seven children to support. + +[Illustration] + +What should the poor woman do? At first she thought she would take in +washing, then that she would try to keep a little shop. While she was +hesitating, Mr. Mason, a brisk old gentleman, came to the door, and +asked, "Where is the boy who cuts these figures and faces in profile?" + +One of his grandchildren had brought him home from school some specimens +of Ernest's skill; and Mr. Mason saw at once that they were the work of +a gifted and painstaking artist. + +"You must mean my little Ernest," said the mother. "Poor little fellow! +He little dreams what is coming. I shall soon have to take him away from +school." + +"Why so?" cried Mr. Mason. "Take him away from school? You shall do no +such a thing. I'll not allow it." + +"We are destitute, sir, and I have no means of support," said the mother +with a sigh. + +"No means of support! Nonsense! With a boy in the house who can cut +figures like that, do you say you have no means of support?" exclaimed +Mr. Mason. "Good woman, I will insure your boy good wages every week for +the next year, if you will let him come between school-hours, and cut +pictures under my direction." + +The rest of my little story may soon be told. Ernest became the staff +and stay of his family. The little talent he had cultivated so carefully +and diligently was the means of giving him not only an honest +employment, but a liberal support. He rose to distinction; and his +productions were much sought after by all good judges of art. + + EMILY CARTER. + +[Illustration: ST.

Though I + don't see how she could expect me to be clean when + she has had a soft-coal fire burning in her grate + all the evening, and that does make the chimney so + black! + + If you will look at the picture of me in your new + book (they call me St. Nicholas there), you'll see + how fat I am; and how do you suppose I get down + such a small place? I never could if I didn't love + children so much, and if I hadn't done it for so + many hundred years. But I began, you see, before I + grew so fat; and so now I know the easiest way to + do it. + + I hope you'll have all you wanted this year; but + you all grow so fast, and have so many wants from + year to year, that I sometimes fear that I sha'n't + always be able to satisfy you. Still, as it's only + the good little children that I visit, I fancy + they will be pleased, whatever I bring. + + I must confess, though, that it isn't _all_ + guesswork. I know pretty well what my little folks + want. But if you knew the amount of listening at + doors and windows and registers, that I do to find + out all these wants, you'd be astonished. + + And now, if I don't hurry off, you'll be waking + up, and catch me here; besides, I've staid a deal + longer than I ought, for I've lots to do before + daylight. But, seeing your mamma's desk and + writing-materials so handy, I really couldn't help + sitting down to write you a letter. + + Tell your brother Walter, that as I brought him + presents ten years before you came, he mustn't + expect quite so many now; for he can have no idea + how many little folks I have to provide for. And + if my reindeers weren't the kindest, and + strongest, and fleetest of creatures, we never + could get through the amount of work we have to do + "the night before Christmas." + + Wishing you, and your brother, and papa, and + mamma, a "Merry Christmas," I remain, with a heart + full of love, yours, + + SANTA CLAUS. + + + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE HEDGEHOG. + + +THE hedgehog is a queer little animal with short limbs. It feeds mostly +on insects. It has its body covered with sharp spines instead of hairs, +and can roll itself up in a ball, and thus show an array of prickles +pointing in every direction. + +Slow of foot, this little creature cannot flee from danger; but in the +sharp, hard, and tough prickles of its coat, it has a safeguard better +than the teeth and claws of the wildcat, or the fleetness of the hare. + +The hedgehog has powerful muscles beneath the skin of the back; and by +the aid of these, on the slightest alarm, it rolls itself up so as to +have its head and legs hidden in the middle of the ball it thus makes of +itself. + +Our dog Snip saw a hedgehog, the other day, for the first time. As soon +as it saw him, the little creature seemed to change from a live thing +into a ball. Snip did not know what to make of it. His curiosity was +much excited. He went up, and looked at it. + +If the two could have spoken, I think this would have been their talk:-- + +_Snip._--"Of all the queer things I ever saw, you are the queerest. What +_are_ you anyhow?" + +_Hedgehog._--"Suppose you put out your paw, and try." + +_Snip._--"I don't like the look of those prickles." + +_Hedgehog._--"Don't be a coward, Snip! Put your nose down, and feel of +my nice soft back." + +Whether the cunning hedgehog really cheated him by any such remarks as +these, I cannot say. But Snip at last mustered courage enough to put his +nose down to the ball. Rash Snip! Up rose the bristles, and pricked him +so that he ran back to the house, howling and yelping as if he had been +shot. + +Having put Snip to flight, the hedgehog quietly unrolled itself, thrust +out its queer little head with the long snout, and crept along on its +way rejoicing. As for Snip, I am quite sure he will never put his nose +to the back of a hedgehog again, as long as he lives. + + CHARLES SELWYN. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration: Little Black Monkey] + + + LITTLE black monkey sat up in a tree; + Little black monkey, he grinned at me; + He put out his paw for a cocoanut, + And he dropped it down on my occiput. + + The occiput is a part, you know, + Of the head which does on my shoulders grow; + And it's very unpleasant to have it hit, + Especially when there's no hair on it. + + I took up my gun, and I said, "Now why, + Little black monkey, should you not die? + I'll hit you soon in a vital part, + It may be your head, or it may be your heart." + + I steadied the gun, and I aimed it true: + The trigger it snapped, and the bullet it flew; + But just where it went to, I cannot tell, + For I never _could_ see where that bullet fell. + + Little black monkey still sat in the tree, + And placidly, wickedly, grinned at me: + I took up my gun, and walked away, + And postponed his death till another day. + + LAURA E. RICHARDS. + + + + +THE LITTLE SCISSORS-GRINDER. + + +WILLIE is a three-year-old darling. This summer he visited his aunt in +the city, and was very much interested in the curious sights and sounds +which abound there. + +A few days after his return home, when his mamma sat on the piazza with +some friends, Willie marched up the gravel path with his little +wheelbarrow on his back. + +He stopped at the foot of the steps, set his burden down, resting it +upon the handles, so that it stood upright. Then holding it with one +hand, and rolling the wheel with the other, he kept his foot rising and +falling, just as if he were at work with a genuine treadle. He looked +very sober, and said, "Please, madam, have you any scissors to sharpen?" + +The ladies handed him several pairs, which he ground in the best style, +trying the edge with his finger, and at last passing them to the owner +with the request for ten cents. + +[Illustration] + +Mamma gave him a bit of paper, which he put into his pocket, returning +the change in the form of two leaves. + +When he had finished his task, he shouldered the wheelbarrow, and was +saying "Good-afternoon," when one of the party ran after him, calling to +him to kiss her. + +"Scissors-grinders don't kiss," he said; but the fun sparkled in his +bright black eye, and he burst into a hearty laugh, which must have been +a relief to the merry boy after being sober so long. + + MRS.

Since then +it has gone on increasing, from year to year, in circulation and in +reputation,--maintaining its supremacy over all imitators and +rivals,--and it now holds a firmly established place among first-class +American periodicals, and is admitted to be the _best magazine in the +world for the class of readers to whom it is addressed_. + +Its articles, whether in prose or verse, are adapted with the greatest +care to the capacities of children, and are, with very rare exceptions, +wholly original. + +Its illustrations, which are given with great profuseness, are engraved +in the highest style of art, and, in most cases, from designs made +expressly for "The Nursery," by the best American artists. Such as are +not original, are reproductions of the choicest pictures to be found in +the foreign juvenile periodicals. + +A song set to music by a skilful composer, and specially adapted to +children's voices, is given in every number of the magazine. + +Altogether, its pages furnish just such a variety as is best fitted to +the wants of children from infancy up to the age of twelve years. In +schools it is found to answer admirably as a first-Reader; and in remote +districts, where there are no schools, it takes the place of a teacher; +for thousands of children have been taught to read by "The Nursery" +alone. + +A work which is at once so useful and so attractive, cannot fail to be +in demand in every family where there are young children. Its low price, +($1.60 a year, free of postage), places it within the reach of all +classes. We rely upon its merits alone to secure its circulation, and +send a sample copy by mail, for ten cents, to any person who wishes to +examine it. We do not _hire_ anybody to subscribe; but if any one +procures subscriptions for us, we are always ready to make a suitable +compensation. + +With this view, we present the following list of Premiums. The articles +described are all of the best quality, and many of them such as are +wanted in every household. Besides offering them as premiums, we are +prepared to supply them for cash--sending them by mail or otherwise on +the most favorable terms. We therefore suggest to every person who +receives this pamphlet, that it would be well to preserve it carefully +for future reference. + + + + +EXPLANATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS. + + +1. Previously to this date, (Sept. 1876), our offers of Premiums have +applied to _new_ subscriptions only. Hereafter, in awarding Premiums, we +shall make no distinction between new subscriptions and renewals. + +2. Premiums are offered for _procuring_ subscriptions--not for +subscribing. But the applicant's own subscription or renewal, _when he +procures one or more other names to send with it_, will, of course, be +counted. + +3. The full subscription price (one dollar and sixty cents) must be paid +for each name. No premium is given for subscriptions supplied at club +rates. + +4. The money must always be sent, with the names, _direct to the +Publisher_. No premium is given for subscriptions sent through agents. +No name is entered on our books until the money is received. + +5. Do not wait to make up your whole list before sending. Send the first +two names, _stating that they are to be placed to your credit for a +premium_, and add more as you get them. + +6. Bear in mind that we do not give a premium or open an account for +less than _two_ subscriptions (one of which, however, may be your own); +but, _after the account is opened_, you may add one subscription at a +time if you choose--never omitting to state in your letter _that it is +to go to your credit for a premium_. + +7. Write the name and address of each subscriber plainly, and =always +state whether a renewal or a new name=; and when you call for your +premium, be sure to give your own name and address so plainly that it +cannot be mistaken. + +8. Date your letters carefully, and state in them always the exact +amount of money sent, and the form in which it is sent--whether in +Bank-bills, Check or Postal-order. _It is a good plan to keep a copy of +your letter._ + +9. If you do not receive the magazine promptly in response to your +remittance, or if you do not promptly receive any premium that you may +have ordered, notify us _immediately_, stating always the _date_ of your +previous letter. Wait a sufficient time for ordinary delays of the +mail--_but no longer_. + + + + +HOW TO REMIT. + + +1. If you are near a Money-order Post Office, remit always by a _Postal +Money-order_. Money can be sent in this way at very small expense, and +with absolute safety. + +2. The next best mode of remittance is a check on a _Boston_, _New +York_, or _Philadelphia Bank_. All other checks subject us to expense in +collecting: to cover this, add fifteen cents. + +3. Money may be sent by mail, in a letter carefully sealed and directed, +and prepaid by stamps. It is advisable always to have the letter +_registered_. Letters can be registered in any Post Office. + +[Illustration: Right index] If, in making change, you find any +difficulty in procuring Postal currency, bear in mind that we will +accept _Postage-stamps_ as currency. + +_All remittances are at the risk of the sender._ Direct to the +publisher, + + JOHN L.

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://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

This +was the question asked of Mr. Prim, as he +sat reading his newspaper, one New Year's +morning. The question came through a servant +who had just answered the door-bell. +Mr. Prim looked out of the window. The snow was still +falling. So he sent out word, "No shovelling wanted till +the storm's over," and went on with his reading.</div> + +<p>By and by there was another ring at the door; and in +a moment the servant-girl came in, saying, "The snow-shovellers +are here again, sir, and they want to see you."</p> + +<p>Mr. Prim stepped out into the entry, where he found two +rough-looking boys, both of whom greeted him at once +with, "Wish you a happy new year! Please, sir, it's done +snowing now."</p> + +<p>"That means," said Mr. Prim, "that you both want the +job of clearing off the sidewalk; but which am I to give +it to?"</p> + +<p>"Oh, sir!" said the bigger boy, "we are partners. I +shovel, and Mike sweeps."</p> + +<p>"And what are your names?"</p> + +<p>"Mine is Tom Murphy, and his is Mike Flynn."</p> + +<p>"Then," said Mr. Prim, "the firm is 'Murphy & Flynn.'"</p> + +<p>"That's it," said both boys with a grin.</p> + +<p>"Well, Murphy & Flynn, I will employ you to do my +shovelling to-day, and I will give you fifty cents for the +job; but I am very particular. You must not leave a bit +of snow anywhere about the steps or sidewalk."</p> + +<p>"All right, sir," said the boys; and they went to work, +while Mr. Prim went back to his newspaper. He had not +been reading many minutes, when a loud shout in front of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span> +the house led him to look out of the window. The picture +shows what he saw.</p> + +<p>There were the two boys, each mounted on one of the +stone lions at the head of the steps, and shouting at the top +of his lungs in the excitement of an imaginary race.</p> + +<p>Mr. Prim was first astonished, then angry, then amused, +at this performance. He opened the window, and called out +sharply, "Look here, boys! do you call that work, or play?"</p> + +<p>The boys jumped down, and began to ply their broom and +shovel with great vigor. But Murphy looked up roguishly, +and said, "We were just polishing off the lions, sir."</p> + +<p>"Yes," said Mr. Prim, "and a paroxysm of fun got the +better of you. Well, it's excusable on New Year's Day. +But, if the firm of Murphy & Flynn expect to succeed in +business, they must not mix so much play with their work." +And Mr. Prim shut the window.</p> + +<p>"I say, Mike," said Tom, "what was it the old man said +had got the better of us?"</p> + +<p>"That's more than I can tell," said Mike. "I can't +remember such hard words.

Billy had one +black foot, and a little dark spot on his face; but Tom did +not have a black hair on his whole body.</p> + +<p>Billy was the old family horse, kind, gentle, and loving. +Anybody could catch him, or lead him, or drive him. He +liked to be petted, and in return seemed to take pride in +being kind to all in the family.</p> + +<p>Tom was a good horse too; but we had not owned him so +long, and he did not care much to have any one pet him.</p> + +<p>Billy was a little lame; and though he worked everywhere +on the farm, and in drawing loads on the road, yet he was +generally excused from going with the carriage, except +when it was necessary for some of us children to drive.</p> + +<p>One day my father went to the village with Tom, leaving<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span> +Billy at home alone, in a field near the house. He missed +his old friend Tom. They had worked together so much, +that they had become great friends; and either one was very +lonesome without the other.</p> + +<p>Billy ran about here and there, neighing loudly whenever +another horse appeared in sight upon the road, hoping +that it might be his friend Tom coming back.</p> + +<p>At last I went out to comfort him. I patted his head and +his neck, and leading him by the mane to the fence, climbed +first upon the fence, and then upon his back.</p> + +<p>He seemed pleased, and started in a gentle walk along +the farm-road leading down into the field, away from the +house. When he had gone as far as I wished to ride, I +called out, "Whoa!"</p> + +<p>But he was a wise old horse. Instead of stopping in the +middle of the road, where he then was, he turned out at +one side, and stopped close by the fence, for me to get off +upon that; as much as to say, "A boy that is not large +enough to get upon my back without climbing a fence, is +not large enough to climb from my back to the ground."</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class='smcap'>Edith's Papa.</span> +</div> + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 139px;"><img src="images/divider1.png" width="139" height="19" alt="Divider" title="" /></div> +<h2>THE WISE HARE AND HER PURSUERS.</h2> + + +<p><span class="smcap">A poor</span> little hare was one day closely pursued by a brace +of greyhounds. They were quite near her, when, seeing a +gate, she ran for it. She got through it easily; but the +bars were too close together for the hounds to get through, +so they had to leap over the gate.</p> + +<p>As they did so, the hare, seeing that they would be upon +her the next instant, turned around and ran again under +the gate where she had just before passed.

This +bear was called Dandy, and he had been taught many queer +tricks. He could shoulder a pole as if it were a gun, and +could balance it on his nose, or stand on his hind-legs +and hold it by his fore-paws behind his back.</p> + +<p>He did all these things at his master's bidding because he +stood in great fear of his master's whip. His master made<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span> +a show of him; and, though Dandy did not like it, he was +forced to submit.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 267px;"> +<img src="images/illus019.png" width="267" height="275" alt="Bear showing off" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>But one day, when he had been left alone, the chain, that +held him by a ring in his nose, got loose from the ring; and +Dandy was soon a free bear. Taking his pole, he made his +way, as fast as he could, to a mountain where the woods +were high and thick.</p> + +<p>Here he found a number of fellow-bears. Instead of +treating them as equals, he put on fine airs, told them what +a rare life he had led among men, how many nice tricks he +had learned, and how much wiser he was than all the bears +that had ever lived.</p> + +<p>For a time the other bears were simple enough to take +him at his word. They thought, because he said so, that he<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span> +must be a very great bear indeed. He never was at a loss +when they asked him a question, never would confess his +ignorance, and so had to say much that was not true.</p> + +<p>Dandy boasted so of the respect which men had paid him, +that he made the other bears think he was doing them a +great honor by living with them. He made them all wait +on him. But at last a young bear, that had escaped from a +trap which some men had set for him, said to Dandy, "Is +that ring in your nose for ornament or for use?"</p> + +<p>"For ornament, of course," said Dandy. "This ring was +a gift from a man who was once my partner. He was so +fond of me, and so pleased with my dancing, that he never +tired of serving me. He brought me all my food. In fact +I had him at my beck and call."</p> + +<p>"My friends," said the young bear, "he tells a fib. That +ring was put in his nose to be fastened to a chain. He was +held a slave by the man who, he says, treated him so finely. +He was made to dance through fear of being touched +up with a red-hot iron. In short, he is what men call a +'humbug.'"</p> + +<p>"Yes, he is a humbug," cried the others, though they +did not know what the word meant. "We will have no +more of his fine airs."—"I never liked him."—"Drive +him off."—"Send him back to his dancing-master!"—"Kick +him!"—"Stone him!"—"Beat him!"—"We'll +have no humbug here."</p> + +<p>And so poor Dandy was driven out from the woods, and +forced to get his living by himself; while the knowing +young bear that had exposed him, looked on and laughed +at his misfortune. If Dandy had not been so boastful; if he +had spoken the truth, and been modest,—he might have +been respected by his fellow-bears to the end of his days.</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Alfred Selwyn</span>.<br /> +</div> + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 139px;"><img src="images/divider1.png" width="139" height="19" alt="Divider" title="" /></div><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 371px;"> +<img src="images/illus021.png" width="371" height="500" alt="DRAWING-LESSON BY HARRISON WEIR.

It has its body covered with +sharp spines instead of hairs, and can roll itself up in a +ball, and thus show an array of prickles pointing in every +direction.</p> + +<p>Slow of foot, this little creature cannot flee from danger; +but in the sharp, hard, and tough prickles of its coat, it has +a safeguard better than the teeth and claws of the wildcat, +or the fleetness of the hare.</p> + +<p>The hedgehog has powerful muscles beneath the skin of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[28]</a></span> +the back; and by the aid of these, on the slightest alarm, it +rolls itself up so as to have its head and legs hidden in the +middle of the ball it thus makes of itself.</p> + +<p>Our dog Snip saw a hedgehog, the other day, for the first +time. As soon as it saw him, the little creature seemed +to change from a live thing into a ball. Snip did not know +what to make of it. His curiosity was much excited. He +went up, and looked at it.</p> + +<p>If the two could have spoken, I think this would have +been their talk:—</p> + +<p><i>Snip.</i>—"Of all the queer things I ever saw, you are the +queerest. What <i>are</i> you anyhow?"</p> + +<p><i>Hedgehog.</i>—"Suppose you put out your paw, and try."</p> + +<p><i>Snip.</i>—"I don't like the look of those prickles."</p> + +<p><i>Hedgehog.</i>—"Don't be a coward, Snip! Put your nose +down, and feel of my nice soft back."</p> + +<p>Whether the cunning hedgehog really cheated him by +any such remarks as these, I cannot say. But Snip at last +mustered courage enough to put his nose down to the ball. +Rash Snip! Up rose the bristles, and pricked him so that +he ran back to the house, howling and yelping as if he had +been shot.</p> + +<p>Having put Snip to flight, the hedgehog quietly unrolled +itself, thrust out its queer little head with the long snout, +and crept along on its way rejoicing. As for Snip, I am +quite sure he will never put his nose to the back of a hedgehog +again, as long as he lives.</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class='smcap'>Charles Selwyn.</span> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 200px;"> +<img src="images/illus032.png" width="200" height="132" alt="Hedgehog" title="" /> +</div> + + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 139px;"><img src="images/divider1.png" width="139" height="19" alt="Divider" title="" /></div><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span></p> + + + +<div class='center'> <table class="monkey" summary="Little Black Monkey"> +<tr><td align='left'><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> +<div class='poem4'> +<span class="smcap">Little</span> black monkey sat up in a tree;<br /> +Little black monkey, he grinned at me;<br /> +He put out his paw for a cocoanut,<br /> +And he dropped it down on my occiput.<br /> +<br /> +The occiput is a part, you know,<br /> +Of the head which does on my shoulders grow;<br /> +And it's very unpleasant to have it hit,<br /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[30]</a></span>Especially when there's no hair on it.<br /> +<br /></div> +<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></td> +</tr></table></div> +<div class='poem'> +I took up my gun, and I said, "Now why,<br /> +Little black monkey, should you not die?<br /> +I'll hit you soon in a vital part,<br /> +It may be your head, or it may be your heart."<br /> +<br /> +I steadied the gun, and I aimed it true:<br /> +The trigger it snapped, and the bullet it flew;<br /> +But just where it went to, I cannot tell,<br /> +For I never <i>could</i> see where that bullet fell.<br /> +<br /> +Little black monkey still sat in the tree,<br /> +And placidly, wickedly, grinned at me:<br /> +I took up my gun, and walked away,<br /> +And postponed his death till another day.<br /> +</div> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class='smcap'>Laura E.

The work +met a want which was then wholly +unsupplied, and it was at once received +with a high degree of public favor. Since +then it has gone on increasing, from year to year, in circulation +and in reputation,—maintaining its supremacy +over all imitators and rivals,—and it now holds a firmly +established place among first-class American periodicals, +and is admitted to be the <i>best magazine in the world for +the class of readers to whom it is addressed</i>.</div> + +<p>Its articles, whether in prose or verse, are adapted with +the greatest care to the capacities of children, and are, +with very rare exceptions, wholly original.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_2ad" id="Page_2ad">[2]</a></span></p> + +<p>Its illustrations, which are given with great profuseness, +are engraved in the highest style of art, and, in most cases, +from designs made expressly for "The Nursery," by the +best American artists. Such as are not original, are reproductions +of the choicest pictures to be found in the +foreign juvenile periodicals.</p> + +<p>A song set to music by a skilful composer, and specially +adapted to children's voices, is given in every number of +the magazine.</p> + +<p>Altogether, its pages furnish just such a variety as is +best fitted to the wants of children from infancy up to the +age of twelve years. In schools it is found to answer +admirably as a first-Reader; and in remote districts, where +there are no schools, it takes the place of a teacher; for +thousands of children have been taught to read by "The +Nursery" alone.</p> + +<p>A work which is at once so useful and so attractive, +cannot fail to be in demand in every family where there +are young children. Its low price, ($1.60 a year, free of +postage), places it within the reach of all classes. We rely +upon its merits alone to secure its circulation, and send a +sample copy by mail, for ten cents, to any person who +wishes to examine it. We do not <i>hire</i> anybody to subscribe; +but if any one procures subscriptions for us, we are +always ready to make a suitable compensation.</p> + +<p>With this view, we present the following list of Premiums. +The articles described are all of the best quality, +and many of them such as are wanted in every household. +Besides offering them as premiums, we are prepared to +supply them for cash—sending them by mail or otherwise +on the most favorable terms. We therefore suggest to +every person who receives this pamphlet, that it would be +well to preserve it carefully for future reference.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3ad" id="Page_3ad">[3]</a></span></p> + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 139px;"><img src="images/divider1.png" width="139" height="19" alt="Divider" title="" /></div> +<h2>EXPLANATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS.</h2> + + +<p>1. Previously to this date, (Sept. 1876), our offers of Premiums have +applied to <i>new</i> subscriptions only. Hereafter, in awarding Premiums, +we shall make no distinction between new subscriptions and renewals.</p> + +<p>2. Premiums are offered for <i>procuring</i> subscriptions—not for subscribing. +But the applicant's own subscription or renewal, <i>when he procures +one or more other names to send with it</i>, will, of course, be counted.</p> + +<p>3. The full subscription price (one dollar and sixty cents) must be +paid for each name. No premium is given for subscriptions supplied at +club rates.</p> + +<p>4. The money must always be sent, with the names, <i>direct to the +Publisher</i>. No premium is given for subscriptions sent through agents. +No name is entered on our books until the money is received.</p> + +<p>5. Do not wait to make up your whole list before sending. Send the +first two names, <i>stating that they are to be placed to your credit for a +premium</i>, and add more as you get them.</p> + +<p>6. Bear in mind that we do not give a premium or open an account +for less than <i>two</i> subscriptions (one of which, however, may be your +own); but, <i>after the account is opened</i>, you may add one subscription at a +time if you choose—never omitting to state in your letter <i>that it is to go +to your credit for a premium</i>.</p> + +<p>7. Write the name and address of each subscriber plainly, and +<b><big>always state whether a renewal or a new name</big></b>; +and when you call for your premium, be sure to give your own name +and address so plainly that it cannot be mistaken.</p> + +<p>8. Date your letters carefully, and state in them always the exact +amount of money sent, and the form in which it is sent—whether in +Bank-bills, Check or Postal-order. <i>It is a good plan to keep a copy of +your letter.</i></p> + +<p>9. If you do not receive the magazine promptly in response to your +remittance, or if you do not promptly receive any premium that you may +have ordered, notify us <i>immediately</i>, stating always the <i>date</i> of your +previous letter. Wait a sufficient time for ordinary delays of the mail—<i>but +no longer</i>.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4ad" id="Page_4ad">[4]</a></span></p> + + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 139px;"><img src="images/divider1.png" width="139" height="19" alt="Divider" title="" /></div> +<h2>HOW TO REMIT.</h2> + + +<p>1. If you are near a Money-order Post Office, remit always by a +<i>Postal Money-order</i>. Money can be sent in this way at very small +expense, and with absolute safety.</p> + +<p>2. The next best mode of remittance is a check on a <i>Boston</i>, <i>New +York</i>, or <i>Philadelphia Bank</i>. All other checks subject us to expense in +collecting: to cover this, add fifteen cents.</p> + +<p>3. Money may be sent by mail, in a letter carefully sealed and +directed, and prepaid by stamps. It is advisable always to have the +letter <i>registered</i>.

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 WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. 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. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

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, are 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.pglaf.org. + + +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. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. 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://pglaf.org + +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://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/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. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/28129-h/images/contents.png b/28129-h/images/contents.png Binary files differnew file mode

The question came through a servant who had just +answered the door-bell. Mr. Prim looked out of the window. The snow was +still falling. So he sent out word, "No shovelling wanted till the +storm's over," and went on with his reading. + +By and by there was another ring at the door; and in a moment the +servant-girl came in, saying, "The snow-shovellers are here again, sir, +and they want to see you." + +Mr. Prim stepped out into the entry, where he found two rough-looking +boys, both of whom greeted him at once with, "Wish you a happy new year! +Please, sir, it's done snowing now." + +"That means," said Mr. Prim, "that you both want the job of clearing off +the sidewalk; but which am I to give it to?" + +"Oh, sir!" said the bigger boy, "we are partners. I shovel, and Mike +sweeps." + +"And what are your names?" + +"Mine is Tom Murphy, and his is Mike Flynn." + +"Then," said Mr. Prim, "the firm is 'Murphy & Flynn.'" + +"That's it," said both boys with a grin. + +"Well, Murphy & Flynn, I will employ you to do my shovelling to-day, and +I will give you fifty cents for the job; but I am very particular. You +must not leave a bit of snow anywhere about the steps or sidewalk." + +"All right, sir," said the boys; and they went to work, while Mr. Prim +went back to his newspaper. He had not been reading many minutes, when a +loud shout in front of the house led him to look out of the window. The +picture shows what he saw. + +There were the two boys, each mounted on one of the stone lions at the +head of the steps, and shouting at the top of his lungs in the +excitement of an imaginary race. + +Mr. Prim was first astonished, then angry, then amused, at this +performance. He opened the window, and called out sharply, "Look here, +boys! do you call that work, or play?" + +The boys jumped down, and began to ply their broom and shovel with great +vigor. But Murphy looked up roguishly, and said, "We were just polishing +off the lions, sir." + +"Yes," said Mr. Prim, "and a paroxysm of fun got the better of you. +Well, it's excusable on New Year's Day. But, if the firm of Murphy & +Flynn expect to succeed in business, they must not mix so much play with +their work." And Mr. Prim shut the window. + +"I say, Mike," said Tom, "what was it the old man said had got the +better of us?" + +"That's more than I can tell," said Mike. "I can't remember such hard +words. But I know what he meant, and I guess he was about right." + + UNCLE SAM. + +[Illustration] + + + + +BUMBLE-BEE. + + +[Illustration] + + BUMBLE-BEE superbly dressed, + In velvet, jet, and gold, + Sailed along in eager quest, + And hummed a ballad bold. + + Morning-Glory clinging tight + To friendly spires of grass, + Blushing in the early light, + Looked out to see him pass. + + Nectar pure as crystal lay + In her ruby cup; + Bee was very glad to stay, + Just to drink it up. + + "Fairest of the flowers," said he, + "'Twas a precious boon; + May you still a Glory be, + Morning, night, and noon!" + + M. A. C. + + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +BILLY AND TOM. + + +WHEN I was a little boy, six or seven years old, my father had two white +horses, named Billy and Tom. Billy had one black foot, and a little dark +spot on his face; but Tom did not have a black hair on his whole body. + +Billy was the old family horse, kind, gentle, and loving. Anybody could +catch him, or lead him, or drive him. He liked to be petted, and in +return seemed to take pride in being kind to all in the family. + +Tom was a good horse too; but we had not owned him so long, and he did +not care much to have any one pet him. + +Billy was a little lame; and though he worked everywhere on the farm, +and in drawing loads on the road, yet he was generally excused from +going with the carriage, except when it was necessary for some of us +children to drive. + +One day my father went to the village with Tom, leaving Billy at home +alone, in a field near the house. He missed his old friend Tom. They had +worked together so much, that they had become great friends; and either +one was very lonesome without the other. + +Billy ran about here and there, neighing loudly whenever another horse +appeared in sight upon the road, hoping that it might be his friend Tom +coming back. + +At last I went out to comfort him. I patted his head and his neck, and +leading him by the mane to the fence, climbed first upon the fence, and +then upon his back. + +He seemed pleased, and started in a gentle walk along the farm-road +leading down into the field, away from the house. When he had gone as +far as I wished to ride, I called out, "Whoa!" + +But he was a wise old horse. Instead of stopping in the middle of the +road, where he then was, he turned out at one side, and stopped close by +the fence, for me to get off upon that; as much as to say, "A boy that +is not large enough to get upon my back without climbing a fence, is not +large enough to climb from my back to the ground." + + EDITH'S PAPA. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE WISE HARE AND HER PURSUERS. + + +A POOR little hare was one day closely pursued by a brace of greyhounds. +They were quite near her, when, seeing a gate, she ran for it. She got +through it easily; but the bars were too close together for the hounds +to get through, so they had to leap over the gate. + +As they did so, the hare, seeing that they would be upon her the next +instant, turned around and ran again under the gate where she had just +before passed. The hounds, in their speed, could not turn at once. +Their headway took them on some distance; and then they had to wheel +about, and leap once more over the upper bar of the gate. + +[Illustration] + +Again the hare doubled, and returned by the way she had come; and thus +she went backward and forward, the dogs following till they were fairly +tired out, while the little hare, watching her chance, happily made her +escape. + +Thus you see that wit and self-possession are sometimes more than a +match for superior strength and speed. If the little hare could not run +so fast as the greyhounds, she could outwit them, and they saw no way to +prevent it. + + UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +GENTLE JESSIE AND THE WASP. + + +THERE is a little girl in our village whom we call "Gentle Jessie;" for +she is so kind and gentle, that even the dumb animals and the insects +seem to find it out, and to trust her. + +On a dry pleasant day, last autumn, I saw her seated on the grass. I +went up to tell her not to sit there; for it is not safe to sit on the +ground, even in dry weather. + +As I drew near to Jessie from behind, I heard her talking. To whom could +she be talking? There was no one by her side; that is to say, no human +being. But soon I found she was talking to a wasp that was coming as if +to sting her. + +"Wasp, wasp, go away, and come again another day," said she. But the +wasp did not heed her. It flew quite near to her face. Instead of +striking at the bold insect, she merely drew back a little out of its +way; for she thought, "Surely the wasp will not harm me, if I do not +harm it." + +And she was right. It alighted near her for a moment, but did not sting +her; and gentle Jessie did not try to harm it. Then the wasp flew to the +flowers on her hat; but, not finding the food it wanted, at last it flew +away. + +"Well done, Jessie," said I, lifting her from the ground, and giving her +a kiss. + + EMILY CARTER. + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +GRETCHEN. + + + GRETCHEN'S old; she's neat and good: + See her coming from the wood! + She bears fagots on her back, + Lest her darlings fire may lack. + +[Illustration] + + Here you see her far from town, + With her darlings sitting down: + Gretchen, Emma, Fritz, and Paul,-- + They are happy, happy all. + + M. A. C. + + + + +FRIENDS IN NEED. + + +ONCE a poor crippled sparrow fell to the ground, and fluttered about in +a vain attempt to regain a place of safety. Some of its mates gathered +around it, and seemed eager to help it; but they did not know what to +do. Their chirping drew together a good many of the sparrow tribe. + +One thought this thing ought to be done, and another thought that. Some +tried to lift the helpless bird by catching its wings in their beaks; +but this failed, and such a chattering and scolding as took place! + +"I told you that wasn't the way to do it."--"How stupid!"--"You should +have taken my advice." Perhaps such were the speeches which were uttered +in bird-language; for all the little creature seemed much excited. + +[Illustration] + +Presently two of the birds flew away, but soon came back with a twig six +or seven inches long and an eighth of an inch thick. This was dropped +before the poor little cripple, and at each end was picked up by a +sparrow, and held so that the lame bird was able to catch the middle of +the twig in its beak. + +Then the crippled bird, with the aid of the other two, flew off, till +they came to the wall covered with ivy, where it had its home. There it +chirped to show how glad it was. All the other sparrows followed, as if +to share in the pleasure of the rescue. This is a true story. + + IDA FAY. + + + + +A NOONDAY LULLABY. + + +[Illustration] + + "TIC, tac! Tic, tac!" + Says the clock on the wall: + "Sleep now, my darling, for 'tis time, 'tis time; + Soon I will wake you with my merry chime,-- + Tic, tac! Tic, tac!" + + "Purr-r-r! Purr-r-r!" + Tabby sings on the sill: + "Shut your eyes, deary, and sleep in a trice, + Then I will stay here, and scare off the mice,-- + Purr-r-r! Purr-r-r!" + + "Coo-oo! Coo-oo!" + Says the dove on the roof: + "Go to sleep, pet, while I strut here and coo, + As for my own pretty nestlings I do,-- + Coo-oo! Coo-oo!" + +[Illustration] + + "Cut, cut, ca-dah-cut!" + Cackles kind biddy-hen: + "Listen, my little one: if you'll not weep, + I'll lay an egg for you while you are asleep,-- + Cut, cut, ca-dah-cut!" + + "Moo-oo! Moo-oo!" + Says the good moolly-cow: + "Sleep, my wee man, and I'll make it fair, + For I'll give you milk from bossy's own share,-- + Moo-oo! Moo-oo!" + + "Hum, hum! Buz, buz!" + Drones the bee on the wing: + "Fret not, my baby, but croon in your bed, + I'll bring you honey to eat on your bread,-- + Hum, hum! Buz, buz!" + + "Hush-sh-sh! Hush-sh-sh!" + Whisper leaves on the tree: + "As through our shadow soft sunlight streams, + See how the angels send smiles in his dreams! + Hush-sh-sh! Hush-sh-sh!" + + M. A. C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE BEAR THAT PUT ON AIRS. + + +THERE was once a bear that had been tamed and made to dance by a man who +beat him when he did not mind. This bear was called Dandy, and he had +been taught many queer tricks. He could shoulder a pole as if it were a +gun, and could balance it on his nose, or stand on his hind-legs and +hold it by his fore-paws behind his back. + +He did all these things at his master's bidding because he stood in +great fear of his master's whip. His master made a show of him; and, +though Dandy did not like it, he was forced to submit. + +[Illustration] + +But one day, when he had been left alone, the chain, that held him by a +ring in his nose, got loose from the ring; and Dandy was soon a free +bear. Taking his pole, he made his way, as fast as he could, to a +mountain where the woods were high and thick. + +Here he found a number of fellow-bears. Instead of treating them as +equals, he put on fine airs, told them what a rare life he had led among +men, how many nice tricks he had learned, and how much wiser he was than +all the bears that had ever lived. + +For a time the other bears were simple enough to take him at his word. +They thought, because he said so, that he must be a very great bear +indeed. He never was at a loss when they asked him a question, never +would confess his ignorance, and so had to say much that was not true. + +Dandy boasted so of the respect which men had paid him, that he made the +other bears think he was doing them a great honor by living with them. +He made them all wait on him. But at last a young bear, that had escaped +from a trap which some men had set for him, said to Dandy, "Is that ring +in your nose for ornament or for use?" + +"For ornament, of course," said Dandy. "This ring was a gift from a man +who was once my partner. He was so fond of me, and so pleased with my +dancing, that he never tired of serving me. He brought me all my food. +In fact I had him at my beck and call." + +"My friends," said the young bear, "he tells a fib. That ring was put in +his nose to be fastened to a chain. He was held a slave by the man who, +he says, treated him so finely. He was made to dance through fear of +being touched up with a red-hot iron. In short, he is what men call a +'humbug.'" + +"Yes, he is a humbug," cried the others, though they did not know what +the word meant. "We will have no more of his fine airs."--"I never liked +him."--"Drive him off."--"Send him back to his dancing-master!"--"Kick +him!"--"Stone him!"--"Beat him!"--"We'll have no humbug here." + +And so poor Dandy was driven out from the woods, and forced to get his +living by himself; while the knowing young bear that had exposed him, +looked on and laughed at his misfortune. If Dandy had not been so +boastful; if he had spoken the truth, and been modest,--he might have +been respected by his fellow-bears to the end of his days. + + ALFRED SELWYN. + + + + +[Illustration: DRAWING-LESSON BY HARRISON WEIR. + +VOL.

I tell you it's nice + To be one of the mice, + And when the night comes, + And the folks are abed, + To rattle and race + On the floor overhead. + And, say, don't you wish _you_ could run up a wall + As I do, every day, without getting a fall? + And don't you wish _you_ were a mouse, + Living in somebody's house? + + FLETA F. + + + + +WHAT YOU DO, DO WELL. + + +"WHY do you take such pains in cutting out these little figures?" asked +Winifred of her brother Ernest. + +"I will tell you why, sister," replied Ernest. "I take pains because my +teacher tells me, that, if a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth +doing well." + +"Did he mean that we should try to do well even in trifles?" asked +Winifred. + +"Yes," answered Ernest, "because, as a great man once said, 'Perfection +is no trifle.'" + +Winifred sat looking at her brother, as, handling a pair of scissors, he +carefully cut out figures of horses, dogs, pigs, and various other +animals. + +Three years afterward she remembered this conversation; for it happened +at that time, that, her father having died, her widowed mother was left +almost destitute with a family of seven children to support. + +[Illustration] + +What should the poor woman do? At first she thought she would take in +washing, then that she would try to keep a little shop. While she was +hesitating, Mr. Mason, a brisk old gentleman, came to the door, and +asked, "Where is the boy who cuts these figures and faces in profile?" + +One of his grandchildren had brought him home from school some specimens +of Ernest's skill; and Mr. Mason saw at once that they were the work of +a gifted and painstaking artist. + +"You must mean my little Ernest," said the mother. "Poor little fellow! +He little dreams what is coming. I shall soon have to take him away from +school." + +"Why so?" cried Mr. Mason. "Take him away from school? You shall do no +such a thing. I'll not allow it." + +"We are destitute, sir, and I have no means of support," said the mother +with a sigh. + +"No means of support! Nonsense! With a boy in the house who can cut +figures like that, do you say you have no means of support?" exclaimed +Mr. Mason. "Good woman, I will insure your boy good wages every week for +the next year, if you will let him come between school-hours, and cut +pictures under my direction." + +The rest of my little story may soon be told. Ernest became the staff +and stay of his family. The little talent he had cultivated so carefully +and diligently was the means of giving him not only an honest +employment, but a liberal support. He rose to distinction; and his +productions were much sought after by all good judges of art. + + EMILY CARTER. + +[Illustration: ST.

Though I + don't see how she could expect me to be clean when + she has had a soft-coal fire burning in her grate + all the evening, and that does make the chimney so + black! + + If you will look at the picture of me in your new + book (they call me St. Nicholas there), you'll see + how fat I am; and how do you suppose I get down + such a small place? I never could if I didn't love + children so much, and if I hadn't done it for so + many hundred years. But I began, you see, before I + grew so fat; and so now I know the easiest way to + do it. + + I hope you'll have all you wanted this year; but + you all grow so fast, and have so many wants from + year to year, that I sometimes fear that I sha'n't + always be able to satisfy you. Still, as it's only + the good little children that I visit, I fancy + they will be pleased, whatever I bring. + + I must confess, though, that it isn't _all_ + guesswork. I know pretty well what my little folks + want. But if you knew the amount of listening at + doors and windows and registers, that I do to find + out all these wants, you'd be astonished. + + And now, if I don't hurry off, you'll be waking + up, and catch me here; besides, I've staid a deal + longer than I ought, for I've lots to do before + daylight. But, seeing your mamma's desk and + writing-materials so handy, I really couldn't help + sitting down to write you a letter. + + Tell your brother Walter, that as I brought him + presents ten years before you came, he mustn't + expect quite so many now; for he can have no idea + how many little folks I have to provide for. And + if my reindeers weren't the kindest, and + strongest, and fleetest of creatures, we never + could get through the amount of work we have to do + "the night before Christmas." + + Wishing you, and your brother, and papa, and + mamma, a "Merry Christmas," I remain, with a heart + full of love, yours, + + SANTA CLAUS. + + + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE HEDGEHOG. + + +THE hedgehog is a queer little animal with short limbs. It feeds mostly +on insects. It has its body covered with sharp spines instead of hairs, +and can roll itself up in a ball, and thus show an array of prickles +pointing in every direction. + +Slow of foot, this little creature cannot flee from danger; but in the +sharp, hard, and tough prickles of its coat, it has a safeguard better +than the teeth and claws of the wildcat, or the fleetness of the hare. + +The hedgehog has powerful muscles beneath the skin of the back; and by +the aid of these, on the slightest alarm, it rolls itself up so as to +have its head and legs hidden in the middle of the ball it thus makes of +itself. + +Our dog Snip saw a hedgehog, the other day, for the first time. As soon +as it saw him, the little creature seemed to change from a live thing +into a ball. Snip did not know what to make of it. His curiosity was +much excited. He went up, and looked at it. + +If the two could have spoken, I think this would have been their talk:-- + +_Snip._--"Of all the queer things I ever saw, you are the queerest. What +_are_ you anyhow?" + +_Hedgehog._--"Suppose you put out your paw, and try." + +_Snip._--"I don't like the look of those prickles." + +_Hedgehog._--"Don't be a coward, Snip! Put your nose down, and feel of +my nice soft back." + +Whether the cunning hedgehog really cheated him by any such remarks as +these, I cannot say. But Snip at last mustered courage enough to put his +nose down to the ball. Rash Snip! Up rose the bristles, and pricked him +so that he ran back to the house, howling and yelping as if he had been +shot. + +Having put Snip to flight, the hedgehog quietly unrolled itself, thrust +out its queer little head with the long snout, and crept along on its +way rejoicing. As for Snip, I am quite sure he will never put his nose +to the back of a hedgehog again, as long as he lives. + + CHARLES SELWYN. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration: Little Black Monkey] + + + LITTLE black monkey sat up in a tree; + Little black monkey, he grinned at me; + He put out his paw for a cocoanut, + And he dropped it down on my occiput. + + The occiput is a part, you know, + Of the head which does on my shoulders grow; + And it's very unpleasant to have it hit, + Especially when there's no hair on it. + + I took up my gun, and I said, "Now why, + Little black monkey, should you not die? + I'll hit you soon in a vital part, + It may be your head, or it may be your heart." + + I steadied the gun, and I aimed it true: + The trigger it snapped, and the bullet it flew; + But just where it went to, I cannot tell, + For I never _could_ see where that bullet fell. + + Little black monkey still sat in the tree, + And placidly, wickedly, grinned at me: + I took up my gun, and walked away, + And postponed his death till another day. + + LAURA E. RICHARDS. + + + + +THE LITTLE SCISSORS-GRINDER. + + +WILLIE is a three-year-old darling. This summer he visited his aunt in +the city, and was very much interested in the curious sights and sounds +which abound there. + +A few days after his return home, when his mamma sat on the piazza with +some friends, Willie marched up the gravel path with his little +wheelbarrow on his back. + +He stopped at the foot of the steps, set his burden down, resting it +upon the handles, so that it stood upright. Then holding it with one +hand, and rolling the wheel with the other, he kept his foot rising and +falling, just as if he were at work with a genuine treadle. He looked +very sober, and said, "Please, madam, have you any scissors to sharpen?" + +The ladies handed him several pairs, which he ground in the best style, +trying the edge with his finger, and at last passing them to the owner +with the request for ten cents. + +[Illustration] + +Mamma gave him a bit of paper, which he put into his pocket, returning +the change in the form of two leaves. + +When he had finished his task, he shouldered the wheelbarrow, and was +saying "Good-afternoon," when one of the party ran after him, calling to +him to kiss her. + +"Scissors-grinders don't kiss," he said; but the fun sparkled in his +bright black eye, and he burst into a hearty laugh, which must have been +a relief to the merry boy after being sober so long. + + MRS.

Since then +it has gone on increasing, from year to year, in circulation and in +reputation,--maintaining its supremacy over all imitators and +rivals,--and it now holds a firmly established place among first-class +American periodicals, and is admitted to be the _best magazine in the +world for the class of readers to whom it is addressed_. + +Its articles, whether in prose or verse, are adapted with the greatest +care to the capacities of children, and are, with very rare exceptions, +wholly original. + +Its illustrations, which are given with great profuseness, are engraved +in the highest style of art, and, in most cases, from designs made +expressly for "The Nursery," by the best American artists. Such as are +not original, are reproductions of the choicest pictures to be found in +the foreign juvenile periodicals. + +A song set to music by a skilful composer, and specially adapted to +children's voices, is given in every number of the magazine. + +Altogether, its pages furnish just such a variety as is best fitted to +the wants of children from infancy up to the age of twelve years. In +schools it is found to answer admirably as a first-Reader; and in remote +districts, where there are no schools, it takes the place of a teacher; +for thousands of children have been taught to read by "The Nursery" +alone. + +A work which is at once so useful and so attractive, cannot fail to be +in demand in every family where there are young children. Its low price, +($1.60 a year, free of postage), places it within the reach of all +classes. We rely upon its merits alone to secure its circulation, and +send a sample copy by mail, for ten cents, to any person who wishes to +examine it. We do not _hire_ anybody to subscribe; but if any one +procures subscriptions for us, we are always ready to make a suitable +compensation. + +With this view, we present the following list of Premiums. The articles +described are all of the best quality, and many of them such as are +wanted in every household. Besides offering them as premiums, we are +prepared to supply them for cash--sending them by mail or otherwise on +the most favorable terms. We therefore suggest to every person who +receives this pamphlet, that it would be well to preserve it carefully +for future reference. + + + + +EXPLANATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS. + + +1. Previously to this date, (Sept. 1876), our offers of Premiums have +applied to _new_ subscriptions only. Hereafter, in awarding Premiums, we +shall make no distinction between new subscriptions and renewals. + +2. Premiums are offered for _procuring_ subscriptions--not for +subscribing. But the applicant's own subscription or renewal, _when he +procures one or more other names to send with it_, will, of course, be +counted. + +3. The full subscription price (one dollar and sixty cents) must be paid +for each name. No premium is given for subscriptions supplied at club +rates. + +4. The money must always be sent, with the names, _direct to the +Publisher_. No premium is given for subscriptions sent through agents. +No name is entered on our books until the money is received. + +5. Do not wait to make up your whole list before sending. Send the first +two names, _stating that they are to be placed to your credit for a +premium_, and add more as you get them. + +6. Bear in mind that we do not give a premium or open an account for +less than _two_ subscriptions (one of which, however, may be your own); +but, _after the account is opened_, you may add one subscription at a +time if you choose--never omitting to state in your letter _that it is +to go to your credit for a premium_. + +7. Write the name and address of each subscriber plainly, and =always +state whether a renewal or a new name=; and when you call for your +premium, be sure to give your own name and address so plainly that it +cannot be mistaken. + +8. Date your letters carefully, and state in them always the exact +amount of money sent, and the form in which it is sent--whether in +Bank-bills, Check or Postal-order. _It is a good plan to keep a copy of +your letter._ + +9. If you do not receive the magazine promptly in response to your +remittance, or if you do not promptly receive any premium that you may +have ordered, notify us _immediately_, stating always the _date_ of your +previous letter. Wait a sufficient time for ordinary delays of the +mail--_but no longer_. + + + + +HOW TO REMIT. + + +1. If you are near a Money-order Post Office, remit always by a _Postal +Money-order_. Money can be sent in this way at very small expense, and +with absolute safety. + +2. The next best mode of remittance is a check on a _Boston_, _New +York_, or _Philadelphia Bank_. All other checks subject us to expense in +collecting: to cover this, add fifteen cents. + +3. Money may be sent by mail, in a letter carefully sealed and directed, +and prepaid by stamps. It is advisable always to have the letter +_registered_. Letters can be registered in any Post Office. + +[Illustration: Right index] If, in making change, you find any +difficulty in procuring Postal currency, bear in mind that we will +accept _Postage-stamps_ as currency. + +_All remittances are at the risk of the sender._ Direct to the +publisher, + + JOHN L.

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 WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees.

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, are 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.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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

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: + + http://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. diff --git a/28129.zip b/28129.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..43767b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/28129.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
