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 https://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 +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

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works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.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 https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/32605-h/images/badprint.png b/32605-h/images/badprint.png Binary files differnew file mode

She destroys the rats and +mice, which otherwise would do much injury. God has formed her to live +among men. How soft her fur is! How quietly she lies and purs when she +is treated kindly! How patiently she will sit, for many hours together, +and watch for her prey! It would be well if little boys and girls would +sit as still while they are learning their lessons. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE DOG. + + +The Dog takes care of his master's property; he follows him about, and +will not let any body hurt him. Should a stranger come, he barks, to let +his master know it. He is easily taught a great many useful things. A +shepherd's dog will not let the sheep go astray. It would be well if +little boys and girls were always as faithful to their parents as the +dog is to his master. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE COW. + + +The cow is a very valuable animal, and useful in many ways. I dare say +you like to have her milk for breakfast, and to eat sometimes a piece of +beef at dinner. The skin is tanned and made into shoes; the horns are +made into many useful articles; the bones make combs, and many other +things, nearly as well as ivory; the hair is used in making mortar, with +which our houses are plastered and made warm. How wonderfully has God +provided for the convenience of man. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE FOX. + + +The Fox is a cunning and mischievous animal. He is troublesome to the +farmer, frequently killing his geese and chickens. People are obliged to +go, in great numbers, sometimes, to hunt them out of their holes and +hiding places.--Do you remember what our Saviour said of himself? "The +foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of +man hath not where to lay his head." + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE GOAT. + + +The Goat is a useful animal when tamed, and it is very cruel for little +boys to teaze them. Their milk is very wholesome, though not as good as +that of the cow. "The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats." When +Saul persecuted David, he was forced to hide among the rocks where the +goats were found. Read 1 Samuel, xxiv. 2. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE HORSE. + + +The horse is a noble and useful animal. He is very strong and active. +The Psalmist says, "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we +will remember the name of our God." This is to teach us not to trust in +any thing in this world, however good or great it may be, but to look to +God alone for strength and protection. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE ASS + + +In eastern countries, the Ass is a much larger and stronger animal than +it is here. It is not easily tamed, but it is very useful, and one of +the most patient of beasts when it is tamed. Job says, "Vain man would +be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt." Job, xi. 24. For we +are all naturally inclined to do what is evil and wrong, unless our +hearts are subdued by the power of divine grace. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE LAMB. + + +In the Bible, Christ is compared to a lamb, because lambs were +sacrificed as an offering for sin. John the Baptist pointed out Christ +to his disciples, and said, "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away +the sin of the world."--Think upon what Christ suffered for you, and +pray that you may love him, and that he would cause you to hate sin, and +to do his will. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SHEEP. + + +When Sheep wander from their fold, they will not find their way back +again at night, unless they are driven home. Dogs, and many other +animals, can find their way home, but sheep cannot find their way to +their fold. "All we, like sheep have gone astray." Christ is the good +Shepherd; he will take care of those who love him; for he laid down his +life for his sheep. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE LION. + + +The Lion is one of the strongest and fiercest of wild beasts. The Bible +says, "The righteous are bold as a lion." But wicked men are strong +also: the Psalmist prayed that God would "save him from the lion's +mouth." You recollect about Daniel in the lions' den;--God sent an angel +and shut the lions' mouths. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE TIGER. + + +The Tiger is a native of Africa. He is a very fierce beast. Angry +persons are often compared to the tiger; and certainly they resemble +furious wild beasts. Perhaps they do not intend to do harm, but they +often do a great deal of mischief; therefore "leave off contention +before it be meddled with." + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE SERPENT + + +"O what an ugly Serpent!" says some little boy or girl who is reading +this book. Do you remember who it was that took the form of a serpent, +and tempted our first parents to sin against God? Read the account of it +in the third chapter of the book of Genesis; and remember, when you sin +against God, you resemble the "old serpent, the Devil." + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE REINDEER. + + +The Reindeer is an inhabitant of cold countries. The Laplanders find +them very serviceable; they draw their sledges over the snow and ice for +them, and their skins make a warm covering from the cold. How wonderful +are the works of God! There is nothing made in vain. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The prophet Isaiah tells us, that "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, +and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf, and the young +lion, and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them." +Isaiah xi. These words foretell that blessed time when Satan shall be +chained for a thousand years, and Christ shall reign throughout the +earth. That period is called the Millenium. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + + +--------------------------------------------------------------+ + | | + | Transcriber's note: | + | | + | The first three lines of the section headed "THE CAT" on | + | page 2 of the original book were poorly printed or damaged: | + | | + | THE CAT | + | cat is a very useful do- | + | animal.

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

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

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/32605.zip b/32605.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a6664c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/32605.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.
