Can I go?" cried Lily, jumping up, and +clapping her hands.</p> + +<p>"I do not quite approve of children's parties, especially +when they take place in the evening," said mamma. "But +I know who will say 'Yes,' and I suppose I shall have to do +as he says."</p> + +<p>She was thinking of Lily's papa, who loved the little girl +so much, that he could not bear to say "No" to any request +she might make.</p> + +<p>Well, mamma was right. Papa saw that his little girl +was bent on going to the party, and so he teased his wife +into yielding her consent.</p> + +<p>So, when Thursday came, Lily was dressed up in her little +white robe, with straw-colored ribbons, and her pretty +slippers, and sent in a carriage, with Jane the housemaid, +to the party.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_99" id="Page_99">[99]</a></span></p> + +<p>It was not quite such a party as I approve of. I do not +like to see little girls and boys trying to act like grown-up +people. I like to see them act like children.</p> + +<p>Lily had the good taste to get tired of it all very soon. +Little girls would come along and stare at her slippers; but +she did not feel much pride in them. Little boys would +come and bow, and ask her to dance; but she had had +enough. There was music and singing, and then ice-cream +and cake were handed round; but Lily had promised to eat +nothing, and she kept her promise.</p> + +<p>At half-past eight o'clock she saw Jane beckoning to her +at the door; and very glad she was at the sight. Bidding +Miss Vane "good-night," she let Jane put on her shawl, and +lead her to the carriage. "Oh, I am so tired, so tired!" +said poor Lily.</p> + +<p>Mamma received her at the door of her own house, and, +taking her in her arms, bore her up stairs to the little girl's +papa. "What! has she come back so soon?" said he, +throwing down his newspaper, and taking her on his knee.</p> + +<p>"Oh, you dear papa, I am so tired, so tired!" murmured +Lily. "Oh, do sing me 'Flow gently, sweet Afton,' and let +me go to sleep on your lap."</p> + +<p>But mamma said, "No, Lily. You must go to bed while +you can keep your eyes open."</p> + +<p>And so Lily kissed papa, and was borne off to bed. I +think she will wait till she is older, before she will care much +to go to another "children's party."</p> + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Dora Burnside.</span><br /> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 225px;"> +<img src="images/illus099.png" width="225" height="127" alt="Flowers" 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_100" id="Page_100">[100]</a></span></p> + + + + +<h2>THE HERONS.</h2> + + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Heron poem and Illustration"> +<tr><td align='left'><img src="images/illus100.png" width="230" height="700" alt="Trees" title="" /> +</td><td align='left'> +<span class="smcap">A very</span> shy bird<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Is the heron, my dear;</span><br /> +It will run fast away,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">If you come very near:</span><br /> +It has a sharp bill,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">A neck slender and long;</span><br /> +It is fond of small fish,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And goes where they throng.</span><br /> +It builds a snug nest<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">On some very high tree,</span><br /> +And there lays its eggs,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Where the boys cannot see.</span><br /> +Woods marshy and wet,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">It likes to frequent;</span><br /> +For there it finds food,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And there lives content.</span><br /> +No sportsmen with guns<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Come often to kill:</span><br /> +And when they appear<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">The heron keeps still;</span><br /> +It keeps still and hides<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">On a lofty bough near,</span><br /> +Till the fowler says, "Well,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">I can find no birds here."</span><br /> +Then he and his dogs<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Go off in the dumps,</span><br /> +And the heron flies down<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">To the bushes and stumps;</span><br /> +There flaps its big wings,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Right glad to have cheated</span><br /> +The life-seeking foes,<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Who now have retreated.</span><br /> +</td></tr> +</table></div> + + +<div class='sig'> +<span class="smcap">Ida Fay.</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_101" id="Page_101">[101]</a></span></p> +<h2>EMMA AND THE BOOK.</h2> + + +<div class="figright" style="width: 171px;"> +<img src="images/illus101.png" width="171" height="225" alt="Emma reaching for the book" title="" /> +</div> +<div class='story'> +<p><span class="smcap">One</span> day little +Emma said +to herself, "It is +about time that +I knew how to +read.

Down +he sat at the door of his kennel, with a lonely and forsaken look, trying +to smooth down the hair of his sleek coat that old Toss had ruffled.</p> + +<p>"The tanner's dog repeated his attack for two or three days, and,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_117" id="Page_117">[117]</a></span> +more than that, drove poor Bravo from his nice warm quarters at night, +compelling him to lie out in the cold. Then Bravo said to himself, +'Something must be done. I dare not fight Toss; for he has long teeth, +and is a savage dog,—more than a match for me. I think my best plan +is to go and tell Rory.' And away he sped, just at sunrise, and came back +in time for breakfast, with a cheerful look in his face.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;"> +<img src="images/illus117.png" width="450" height="370" alt="Three children" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>"Now, Rory was steady and brave and wise. He had no love for +running round nights: so it surprised his master, when, just as the sun +went down that day, Rory started down the road, and up the lane to +farmer John's. On he went, with a grave look, without stopping to greet +any old friend, even by a wag of his tail. Bravo met him, and whisked +around him; and, after a short consultation, the two dogs crawled into +the kennel, Rory staying nearest to the door.</p> + +<p>"The moon shone clear and bright, and all was still until about midnight, +when farmer John's wife was suddenly awakened by a sound of +growling, snarling, and yelping. 'Wake up, John, quick, quick! Get +up!' she shouted. The farmer leaped from his bed, and, half-dressed, +ran to the door, thinking that the dogs were killing sheep; but instead +of sheep, Rory and Bravo had Toss at their mercy, and were giving him +a fearful punishment."</p></div><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_118" id="Page_118">[118]</a></span></p> + +<p>"Good, good!" shouted Herbert. "That served him +just right."</p> + +<p>But little Bertha turned a wondering look upon Herbert; +she could not help feeling pity even for Toss.</p> + +<p>"Let us hear the rest of the story," said Emma.</p> + +<p>So I went on,—</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>"The sharp voice of the farmer made Rory and Bravo release their +victim; and Toss, in a crestfallen way, started for his home; but, before +he could get over the fence, Rory gave him a final clutch that sent him +off yelping. He never came back; and when he met Bravo afterwards, +he was careful not to trouble him.</p> + +<p>"In a short time Bravo grew to be so strong and brave, that he could +fight his own battles without the aid of his friend Rory."</p></div> + +<p>The three children, who had listened very attentively to +the story, now talked it over; and they came to the conclusion +that Toss received a good lesson, and was probably a +better dog after it.

He will mount a stone wall, and run along it +for some distance, well aware that the dog cannot scent him +so well on the rock as on the grass. If he can find a pond +or stream of water, the deer will plunge in and swim a long +distance, so that the dogs may lose his trail.</p> + +<p>It is a joyful sound to the poor hunted deer when the +dogs send up that sad, dismal howl, which they give utterance +to when they have lost all scent of the deer, and +despair of finding it. He is then a happy deer. He hides +quietly in some covert among the bushes, and he will take +care to place himself where the wind will carry all odors +of his body away from the direction where he supposes the +dogs to be.</p> + +<p>So you see the deer is by no means a stupid animal. He +knows, better than many a little boy, how to take care of +himself, and get out of the way of danger. And now can +you tell me in what part of the State of New York are the +Adirondack Mountains?</p> + +<p>From a correspondent in Springfield, Mo., I have a letter, +in which the writer says: "I suppose the Boston boys don't +have deer for pets. I have a young one named Billy, and +he eats corn out of my pocket. When I come home from +school he always runs to meet me. Although he can jump +over fences, he never tries to run away.

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.

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/28143-h/images/divider1.png b/28143-h/images/divider1.png Binary files differnew file mode

She +put down her spelling-book, and asked, "Who can that be, mamma?" Before +mamma could give an answer, Jane the housemaid entered, and handed her a +note. + +"Why, this is not for me: it is for you, my dear," said Mrs. Macnish, +giving the note to Lily. + +"For me!" said Lily, while her cheeks flushed; for it was the first note +she had ever received. + +"Please read it for me, mamma," she said; for Lily could not read +handwriting quite as well as some little girls of her age that I could +tell of. + +"It is an invitation to a children's party at Mrs. Vane's," said mamma. +"Miss Lucy Vane asks the pleasure of Miss Lily's company on Thursday +evening, at seven o'clock." + +"Oh, can I go? Can I go?" cried Lily, jumping up, and clapping her +hands. + +"I do not quite approve of children's parties, especially when they take +place in the evening," said mamma. "But I know who will say 'Yes,' and I +suppose I shall have to do as he says." + +She was thinking of Lily's papa, who loved the little girl so much, that +he could not bear to say "No" to any request she might make. + +Well, mamma was right. Papa saw that his little girl was bent on going +to the party, and so he teased his wife into yielding her consent. + +So, when Thursday came, Lily was dressed up in her little white robe, +with straw-colored ribbons, and her pretty slippers, and sent in a +carriage, with Jane the housemaid, to the party. + +It was not quite such a party as I approve of. I do not like to see +little girls and boys trying to act like grown-up people. I like to see +them act like children. + +Lily had the good taste to get tired of it all very soon. Little girls +would come along and stare at her slippers; but she did not feel much +pride in them. Little boys would come and bow, and ask her to dance; but +she had had enough. There was music and singing, and then ice-cream and +cake were handed round; but Lily had promised to eat nothing, and she +kept her promise. + +At half-past eight o'clock she saw Jane beckoning to her at the door; +and very glad she was at the sight. Bidding Miss Vane "good-night," she +let Jane put on her shawl, and lead her to the carriage. "Oh, I am so +tired, so tired!" said poor Lily. + +Mamma received her at the door of her own house, and, taking her in her +arms, bore her up stairs to the little girl's papa. "What! has she come +back so soon?" said he, throwing down his newspaper, and taking her on +his knee. + +"Oh, you dear papa, I am so tired, so tired!" murmured Lily. "Oh, do +sing me 'Flow gently, sweet Afton,' and let me go to sleep on your lap." + +But mamma said, "No, Lily. You must go to bed while you can keep your +eyes open." + +And so Lily kissed papa, and was borne off to bed. I think she will wait +till she is older, before she will care much to go to another +"children's party." + + DORA BURNSIDE. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE HERONS. + + +[Illustration] + + A VERY shy bird + Is the heron, my dear; + It will run fast away, + If you come very near: + It has a sharp bill, + A neck slender and long; + It is fond of small fish, + And goes where they throng. + It builds a snug nest + On some very high tree, + And there lays its eggs, + Where the boys cannot see. + Woods marshy and wet, + It likes to frequent; + For there it finds food, + And there lives content. + No sportsmen with guns + Come often to kill: + And when they appear + The heron keeps still; + It keeps still and hides + On a lofty bough near, + Till the fowler says, "Well, + I can find no birds here." + Then he and his dogs + Go off in the dumps, + And the heron flies down + To the bushes and stumps; + There flaps its big wings, + Right glad to have cheated + The life-seeking foes, + Who now have retreated. + + IDA FAY. + + + + +EMMA AND THE BOOK. + + +[Illustration] + +ONE day little Emma said to herself, "It is about time that I knew how +to read. I wonder if I could read that big book on the table." So she +went to the table, and tried to reach the book; but it was too high up. + +Now, Emma had a brother Fred, who was older than she was. Fred was +always very kind to Emma, and now he said, "That is not such a book as +you would like, but if you will be quiet, I will read you a story out +of my own book." + +It was a pretty little story that he read; and Emma stood very still, +and listened to every word. "Now," said she, "will you please let me +have the book, Fred; for my dolly likes stories too, and I want to read +to her." So Fred gave her the book, and she sat down and read to her +doll. + + WILHELMINA GRANT. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE BEAR AND HER CUBS. + + +"ARE there any people besides Esquimaux in the snow-country?" asked +Harry, one day. + +"Not many," said I. "There is a small Danish settlement in Greenland; +but, with that exception, the Esquimaux and the bears have the country +pretty much to themselves." + +"Tell me about the bears," said Harry. "I saw a bear last summer at the +White mountains. He was chained to a tree." + +"But the bear that roams about over the snow and ice of the Arctic +regions, is much larger and more savage than the common black bear that +you saw. It is of a dingy white color. When full grown, it sometimes +measures nine feet in length." + +"Didn't I see one in Barnum's menagerie?" + +"I think not, Harry; for the polar bear suffers so much from heat, even +in our coldest winters, that it will not live long in this climate. + +"There is one thing very interesting in the bear nature, and that is the +affection of the female for its young. This has often been noticed. Here +is a picture showing an instance of it. + +"A Greenland bear with two cubs, was pursued across a field of ice by a +party of armed sailors. At first she tried to urge the young ones along +by running before them, turning around and calling them to her; but +finding that the pursuers were gaining upon them, she pushed and threw +the cubs before her, one after the other, until she effected their +escape. + +"Each cub would place itself across her path to receive the impulse, and +when thrown forward, would run onward until overtaken by the mother, +when it would adjust itself for another throw." + +"Well, that shows that even a bear has some good feeling," said Harry, +"and some common sense too. I'm glad that the sailors did not catch +them. What would those cubs have done without their mother?" + + UNCLE CHARLES. + +[Illustration] + + + + +BROWN BILLY SOLD. + + + EDITH, with cheek against the window, + Is sobbing out her grief; + Gold-Locks is in a sad condition + Of pocket-handkerchief. + + And Teddy at his play is sniffing, + His little nose all red! + Is Tony sick? Is pussy stolen? + Is the canary dead? + + Else why this universal crying?-- + Weepingly I am told, + With many a look of indignation, + "Brown Billy has been sold!" + + And why? No one can tell the reason; + And yet I chance to know, + It was--ah, wicked little pony!-- + Because he acted so. + + Sometimes the phaeton all too heavy + Would grow for him to draw; + You'd think his feeble strength must perish + Under another straw. + + Sometimes as light as any feather + He rolled its dainty wheels, + Humming and whirring like a spindle + After his flying heels. + + And, worse than that, he had a fashion + Of rearing in the air; + And what became of load or driver + He did not know nor care. + + Yet, without least alarm, the children + Would laugh at him, and say, + "Do see dear, cunning, old Brown Billy: + How well he likes to play!" + + And bits of apple, lumps of sugar, + From little hands were given, + With fond pet names, and soft caresses, + And sometimes kisses even. + + Brown Billy, but for your wild frolics + We might have had you yet; + And then these three sweet doleful faces + With tears would not be wet. + + MRS. CLARA DOTY BATES. + + + + +HOW TWO BOYS WERE MADE HAPPY. + + +MAY I tell the readers of "The Nursery" how happy two little boys were +made this evening by the arrival of a present from a kind friend? And +what do you think it was? A magazine with a green cover, on which Guy, +one of the boys, pointed out these letters, "N-U-R-S-E-R-Y." + +Max, with his chubby hand, turned to the first page, and found the +Christmas-tree, with the baby and flag at the top. Then mamma had to +read the story, and, after it was finished, the same little hand turned +the leaf back; for the blue eyes wanted to see baby Arthur again. + +Then how both pairs of eyes looked at Teddy with his new sled! and, +while mamma read to them the pretty verses of Teddy's mamma, they were +still as mice. + +And how their eyes sparkled when they saw the picture of the +wheelbarrows and cart loaded with earth! for this was just the way they +used to play in the warm pleasant weather. They thought the three +little boys must have had lots of fun. + +Then they wanted to hear about "Georgie's Pet Mouse," and "Bess and the +Kitten." They did not wonder that "Baby" felt cross at having his +picture taken; for Max had to sit still so long, and so many times for +his, that he knew how to pity the poor baby. + +The "Rooster" pleased them very much; and mamma promised to take "The +Nursery" to the Kindergarten, and draw the rooster on the board for the +little children there. + +When we came to "Bed-time," mamma thought it would be just the thing to +read last, before putting her little boys to bed. But they begged for +one more story, and _just_ one more, till we came to "By-lo-land," and +after hearing that read, they wanted me to sing it to them. + +Then the night-dresses were brought, and snugly in their little bed the +brown eyes and blue eyes were closed, and my happy little boys went +"over the hills to By-lo-land." + + MRS. F. A. B. D. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE SUMMER SHOWER. + + +WELL do I remember dear old aunt Rachel, as we called her, my first +schoolmistress. She wore spectacles, and I have heard it said that she +sometimes took snuff; but, if she did, she was careful not to do it in +the presence of her pupils. + +She was the aunt of nobody in particular; but, had she been aunt to all +of us, she could not have taken more pains to keep us from harm, and to +lead us in the way of right. + +One day, just as school was dismissed in the afternoon, a severe +rain-storm began. "Oh! how shall I get you all home," said the dear old +lady, opening the door, and looking up at the clouds. + +First she fitted me and my little sister Eva out with her best umbrella, +and told us to make the best speed we could, and send the umbrella back. + +As for the boys, they ran out, rejoicing in the rain, and well pleased +at the prospect of getting wet through. The other little girls were kept +waiting till the sky should clear, or some one should come for them. + +My sister and I started off, side by side, under our umbrella. It was a +large cotton one, with a long, heavy handle,--just about suited to the +capacity of a giant. But, by taking hold very high up, I managed to +carry it without any trouble, and it kept us both dry. We really enjoyed +our walk; and, the harder the rain came down, the better we liked it. + +No sooner had we got home than the clouds broke, and patches of blue sky +began to appear. Then Eva spied a rainbow. So mother told us to put on +dry shoes and stockings, and take back the umbrella. + +How glad Aunt Rachel was to see and welcome us! "I am so glad you did +not get wet," said she; "but, as for those wild boys, they would rush +out into the rain, and I could not keep them from it." + + IDA FAY. + + + + +A MONKEY STORY. + + +THIS is one of the true stories that I tell my little boys over and over +again, as we sit before the fire, and make ready for their journey to +"Sleepy-Land." + +"When your grandfather was a lad about twelve years old, an uncle of his +made a voyage to South America, and brought home as a present to his +nephew a fine large monkey. Of course Master Richard was very much +pleased; and the frolicsome pet would have had a warm welcome from the +whole household, had not the uncle seen fit to report some of Jocko's +pranks on shipboard. + +[Illustration] + +"This put the young ladies upon their guard. But old Bella, the cook, +never seemed prepared for his capers; and the fuss she made over them +pleased Jocko so much, that she became the object of his attacks. + +"One day Bella went to the city, and brought home a fine new bonnet in a +large bandbox. During the evening she showed it with great pride to the +young ladies; and, unknown to her, Jocko enjoyed the sight of the +ribbons and laces and flowers from behind the parlor sofa. + +"Like Bella herself, he was fond of finery; and the bonnet seemed to him +a very fit garment for a monkey to wear. So the next morning, while +Bella was busy in the kitchen, Jocko went to her closet, took out her +bandbox, dressed himself in the bonnet, and stole down the back-stairs. + +"Bella, hearing a noise, looked around, and there he was, his head +literally lost in a sea of red and yellow ribbons. With a shout of rage, +she seized the broomstick, and hurried after the thief. But before she +could reach him, Jocko had mounted two flights of stairs, leaped out on +the porch, and climbed up to the roof of the house. + +"There he rested; and there he was when the whole household, frightened +by Bella's shrieks, came running up to see what was the matter. In vain +Bella scolded. In vain Richard coaxed and threatened. Jocko would not +come down until he had finished his work; for he was busily engaged in +tearing poor Bella's bonnet into fragments. + +"As ribbon after ribbon was destroyed, her screams grew louder and +louder; and nothing could move her from her determination to kill the +monkey, except the promise of a gayer bonnet than the one that Jocko had +stolen. + +"But Jocko never was forgiven; and the poor fellow would have gone +supperless a great many times, had it not been for his devoted young +master." + + MRS. G. + +[Illustration: DRAWING-LESSON.] + + + + +TIME TO GO TO BED. + + +DAUGHTER. + + "WHY must I go to sleepy-land, sleepy-land, sleepy-land? + Why must I go to sleepy-land + So early in the evening? + I'd like to stay up longer, pa, longer, pa, longer, pa; + I'd like to stay up longer, pa: + To sleepy-land it is too far, + So early in the evening." + + +FATHER. + + "'Tis time to go to bed, my dear, bed, my dear, bed, my dear; + 'Tis time to go to bed, my dear, + Though early in the evening. + For such a little girl as you, girl as you, girl as you, + For such a little girl as you + Should be abed, and sleeping too, + Thus early in the evening." + + +DAUGHTER. + + "Oh! then I'll sing another song, another song, another song; + Oh! then I'll sing another song, + So early in the evening! + For you must take me pick-a-pack, pick-a-pack, pick-a-pack, + For you must take me pick-a-pack, + My good papa, upon your back, + So early in the evening." + +[Illustration] + + +FATHER. + + "Then jump, and we'll go up the stairs, up the stairs, up the stairs; + Then jump, and we'll go up the stairs + So early in the evening. + Now here she is!

So +while their three heads, close together, with their bright faces beaming +upon me and upon each other, formed a pretty picture, I told them this +story about two shepherd-dogs, Bravo and Rory:-- + + "When farmer John and his bride moved into their + little white house, a mile from the old homestead, + they took with them the young dog, Bravo, and left + Rory to guard the old house. Bravo was large and + wide awake, but only five months old. He seemed + very happy in his new home. His master taught him + many curious things; and for a week or more he + showed no signs of home-sickness. + + "But when old Toss, from the tannery near by, made + an attack upon him, although Bravo's fleetness + saved him from harm, he began to wish he had never + left his puppy-hood's home to live with farmer + John. Down he sat at the door of his kennel, with + a lonely and forsaken look, trying to smooth down + the hair of his sleek coat that old Toss had + ruffled. + + "The tanner's dog repeated his attack for two or + three days, and, more than that, drove poor Bravo + from his nice warm quarters at night, compelling + him to lie out in the cold. Then Bravo said to + himself, 'Something must be done. I dare not fight + Toss; for he has long teeth, and is a savage + dog,--more than a match for me. I think my best + plan is to go and tell Rory.' And away he sped, + just at sunrise, and came back in time for + breakfast, with a cheerful look in his face. + +[Illustration] + + "Now, Rory was steady and brave and wise. He had + no love for running round nights: so it surprised + his master, when, just as the sun went down that + day, Rory started down the road, and up the lane + to farmer John's. On he went, with a grave look, + without stopping to greet any old friend, even by + a wag of his tail. Bravo met him, and whisked + around him; and, after a short consultation, the + two dogs crawled into the kennel, Rory staying + nearest to the door. + + "The moon shone clear and bright, and all was + still until about midnight, when farmer John's + wife was suddenly awakened by a sound of growling, + snarling, and yelping. 'Wake up, John, quick, + quick! Get up!' she shouted. The farmer leaped + from his bed, and, half-dressed, ran to the door, + thinking that the dogs were killing sheep; but + instead of sheep, Rory and Bravo had Toss at their + mercy, and were giving him a fearful punishment." + +"Good, good!" shouted Herbert. "That served him just right." + +But little Bertha turned a wondering look upon Herbert; she could not +help feeling pity even for Toss. + +"Let us hear the rest of the story," said Emma. + +So I went on,-- + + "The sharp voice of the farmer made Rory and Bravo + release their victim; and Toss, in a crestfallen + way, started for his home; but, before he could + get over the fence, Rory gave him a final clutch + that sent him off yelping. He never came back; and + when he met Bravo afterwards, he was careful not + to trouble him. + + "In a short time Bravo grew to be so strong and + brave, that he could fight his own battles without + the aid of his friend Rory." + +The three children, who had listened very attentively to the story, now +talked it over; and they came to the conclusion that Toss received a +good lesson, and was probably a better dog after it. "For," said +Herbert, "a dog who abuses a smaller dog is almost as mean as a big boy +who tyrannizes over a little boy." + + M. KATE BRAWLEY. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +PLAYING THE CHINAMAN. + + +FRANZ is a little boy about four years old, who lives in Brooklyn, +California. His favorite play is to take some pieces of cloth, fill his +mouth with water, turn his head from side to side, letting the water +squirt from the corners of his mouth upon them (as he has seen the +Chinamen do at the laundry), fold them, turn the iron-stand on its back, +and carefully smooth them. This is Foo Lee, washing and ironing. + +Sometimes the clothes are not wet enough, and the sprinkling goes on +with the ironing. + +"Your clothes will smell of tobacco and opium, if you sprinkle them so +much," says Franz's elder brother. + +"No, they won't," says the little wash-man. "Me do them good; me do them +cheap." + +When he gets tired of this, he puts his wash into a piece of paper, and +takes the bundle to mamma. "I hope the clothes are not too blue, John," +says mamma. + +"No," answers Foo Lee. "They done good this time." + +"And did you find my stockings, which were missing from last week's +wash?" + +"Yes, they all here. I found them: they all right this time,--fifty +dozen." + +"How much shall I pay you?" + +"Six bits." (Seventy-five cents.) "I do them velly cheap." + +Mamma gives him two buttons,--one large one for the four-bit piece, +(fifty cents), and a smaller one for the two bits (twenty-five cents). + +"Thankee. Good-baah!" says Foo Lee. "Good-by," returns mamma. + + L. M. + + + + +PANSY'S SECRET. + + +PANSY had a secret, and nobody could find it out. She would come down +stairs in the morning, and seat herself at the breakfast-table, and then +papa would say, "Well, Pansy, are you going to tell us your secret +to-day?" + +Pansy would shake her head, and reply, "You must guess it, papa! Can you +not guess it?" + +"Well, I guess you have a new tooth coming." + +"Oh, no, that is not it. Mother can guess better than that, I think. It +concerns you, mother." + +"Well, I guess," said mother, "that you are to have the present of a +kitten from aunt Julia." + +"And I guess," said brother John, who was five years older than Pansy, +"I guess you are knitting a pair of woollen cuffs for papa." + +[Illustration] + +"You are all wrong," cried Pansy, "and I shall not tell you my secret +to-day." + +The next morning, as she was coming down stairs, she paused, and said to +herself, "Shall I tell them my secret now? No, Pansy, let them see that +you can keep a secret." + +No sooner was she seated at the table in her high-chair, than papa said, +"Well, Pansy, how much longer are you going to keep us in the dark? Are +you going to tell us your secret?" + +"Not yet, papa," said Pansy, looking up with a roguish smile. + +"What can it be?" said mother, laying down her knife and fork, and +putting her hand to her head. + +"I don't believe it is any thing of any account," cried brother John. +"She wants to keep us curious." + +"Well, I think Pansy must be learning a new piece to recite," said her +mother. + +"That's not it," said Pansy. "It's a 'portant secret: one that my mother +will like to hear." + +"Oh, it's important, is it?" said papa. "I do wonder what it can be." + +"Mother, what day was it that you lost your wedding-ring?" said John. + +"Don't speak of it, John. It was more than a month ago. I have hunted +high and low, and cannot find it. I would have given all my other +jewelry rather than have lost it." + +Here Pansy turned red in the face, got down from her high-chair, and ran +out of the room. + +"Did you see that?" said papa. "The little rogue has found the ring, and +that's her 'portant secret." + +In a minute Pansy came back, holding up the ring, and her face radiant +with delight. "I found it, mother, among my doll's things. You must have +dropped it there when you were fixing them." + +And so little Pansy's secret was out at last! + + DORA BURNSIDE. + +[Illustration] + + + + +A TROTTING SONG. + + + UP and away! now up and away! + We've a good long journey before us to-day. + The road is smooth, and the sky is bright: + Whoa, now! My darling, hold on tight! + There's joy in the saddle. We'll scour the plain + With a gentle trot and an easy rein; + And, as we journey the way along, + I'll sing my darling a trotting song. + + Up and down! + Up and down! + And over the hills to Sleepy Town! + Fast or slow, + Soon, we know, + Into the land of nod we'll go. + Oh, dear me! + Right off my knee, + Into a hollow I didn't see; + And baby small, + On steed so tall, + Came near getting a horrid fall. + She's not afraid, + My little maid, + Too oft on her that trick is played; + And good is she + As good can be, + If I'll only trot her upon my knee. + Over she goes! + But don't suppose + I'll let her tumble upon her nose, + Or give a fright + To my darling bright, + Who laughs and frolics with such delight. + Whoa! now, whoa! + We must not go + So fast, my darling; for don't you know, + At such a pace, + So like a race, + We never shall come to a sleepy-place? + Trot, trot away, + And tell me, pray, + How many miles we have gone to-day? + Up and down! + Up and down! + And over the hills to Sleepy Town! + + JOSEPHINE POLLARD. + +[Illustration] + + + + +SAGACITY OF THE DEER. + + +A FRIEND of mine who has been in the habit of hunting deer in the +Adirondack Mountains, is of opinion that the deer is often more than a +match for the dog in sagacity. The deer seems to be well aware that the +dog is guided by his faculty of scent in tracking him; and all the +deer's efforts are directed to baffling and thwarting this keen and +wonderful sense with which the dog is gifted. + +With this purpose, the deer will often make enormous leaps, or run +around in a circle so as to confuse and puzzle his pursuers. He will +mount a stone wall, and run along it for some distance, well aware that +the dog cannot scent him so well on the rock as on the grass. If he can +find a pond or stream of water, the deer will plunge in and swim a long +distance, so that the dogs may lose his trail. + +It is a joyful sound to the poor hunted deer when the dogs send up that +sad, dismal howl, which they give utterance to when they have lost all +scent of the deer, and despair of finding it. He is then a happy deer. +He hides quietly in some covert among the bushes, and he will take care +to place himself where the wind will carry all odors of his body away +from the direction where he supposes the dogs to be. + +So you see the deer is by no means a stupid animal. He knows, better +than many a little boy, how to take care of himself, and get out of the +way of danger. And now can you tell me in what part of the State of New +York are the Adirondack Mountains? + +From a correspondent in Springfield, Mo., I have a letter, in which the +writer says: "I suppose the Boston boys don't have deer for pets. I have +a young one named Billy, and he eats corn out of my pocket. When I come +home from school he always runs to meet me. Although he can jump over +fences, he never tries to run away. He wears a collar with a bell on it: +so we can hear him when he is down in the orchard eating apples, which +he seems to be very fond of." + + UNCLE CHARLES. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + + +GRANDMA ASLEEP. + + + GRANDMA dear has gone to sleep; + See how still the children keep! + Little Johnny leaves his toys, + And, without a bit of noise, + Rests his book on grandma's lap + While she takes her peaceful nap; + Darling Mabel on the floor + Sits all quiet and demure; + And old pussy tries to be + Just the stillest of the three. + + JANE OLIVER. + + + + +THE LAY OF THE GRASSHOPPER. + + +[Illustration: Music] + + 1.

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

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/28143.zip b/28143.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ae4ce5 --- /dev/null +++ b/28143.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.
