P. DANIELS. +1847. + + + + + +[Illustration] + +The Bird let loose. + + +One morning Susan had promised to give her little bird his liberty. When +she had opened the door of the cage, she ran to her Mamma, and they both +watched him. He flew down and warbled the sweetest song Susan ever +heard. When he had flown away, she watched him until her eyes pained +her, and the tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt sorry to part with +him, but she knew it was wrong to deprive him of his liberty. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The Poor Little Girl. + + +This little girl is the daughter of a poor woman, who lives in the +cottage just beyond the bridge over which you see she is passing. In her +basket she is carrying some radishes, which she sells to her more +wealthy neighbors. They all know her; and though poor, she is respected +and treated kindly by them. She has improved very much at school, though +she cannot attend as regularly as those who do not have to work for a +living. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The Crying Girl. + + +I wonder what this little girl is crying about? O! I have found out. +John has taken the kittens from the old cat, and has drowned them in the +pond; and she is ready to call him a heartless creature for doing so. Do +you think he is? O, no. It would be cruel, indeed, to torment the +kittens as some children do; but John was told to drown them for the +convenience of the family; so dry up your tears, Miss Lucy. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Good Manners. + + +I hope every child who reads this book will take notice of the manner in +which this little boy comes into the room where his elders are. He does +not run with all his might, neither does he forget he had a hat on. But +with his hat in his hand, and with cautious looks and becoming modesty, +he approaches to make known his errand. Many children grow up without +restraint. When they go abroad, their actions excite laughter, instead +of respect. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The Little Party. + + +Ellen Carter was a good girl. She always loved to obey her mamma. Unlike +many naughty children, she did not stop to inquire whether it would be +agreeable to herself; but did what she was bid cheerfully and promptly. +For this reason, her mamma loved her. One fine afternoon, she permitted +her to receive a visit from two of her schoolmates, whom you see with +her, regaling themselves at the table. They behave so prettily that I +cannot think they will indulge themselves with eating to excess. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Leap Frog. + + +This is a pretty game, and it affords proper exercise to the body; but +how often have I seen little boys after playing a while, get in a rage +with each other. They are apt to be too rough when it comes their turn +to leap, and of course the others do not like to be hurt, so the play is +soon broken up. Boys who easily fall into the habit of quarreling, had +better give up this game and indulge in others less exciting. Good +children, however, can play at any harmless game, and always preserve +their temper. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The Country School Boy. + + +This little boy's parents live in the country, and when they wish any +thing from the town, they are obliged to go, or send a great distance +for it. He is going to town to buy some books for himself to study in at +school. His mother and sister have come out with him so far, and now +they are talking about his errand. I hope he will get the books and +arrive safe home again; and the next time we meet him he will no doubt +be a better scholar. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Taking a Walk. + + +It is early in the morning, and little George Hervy is taking a walk +with his Papa. He arose before the sun, and having said his prayers and +washed his face, here he is skipping along by the side of his Papa, with +a bunch of flowers in his hand. What a delightful scene is spread out +before him. His little heart swells with emotions of gratitude to his +Maker, for having opened his eyes on so lovely a morning. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The Kite and Ball. + + +These little boys are talking about their Kite and Ball. I wonder if +they have learned their lessons. Children should not neglect to learn +for the sake of playing with their toys; but when their task is done it +affords their teachers pleasure to see them join in the innocent +amusements of their playmates.--These give vigor to their bodies, and +prepare them to renew their studies with cheerfulness. + + + + +[Illustration] + +The New Doll. + + +Miss Charlotte is well pleased with the Doll her aunt gave her. She has +already made several new dresses for it. See how delighted she appears +as she holds it up. + +Are not its clothes pretty? She now knows why she learned at school to +use her needle. She can occupy her time when she is not studying, in +making up the silks and other nice articles, which her Mamma gives her +to adorn her little Doll. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Little Flora. + + +Flora loves to walk in the garden with her Mamma when all the flowers +look so beautiful, and scent the air so sweetly. Do you see that seat? +When the mornings are fresh and lovely in spring, Flora often takes her +book and retires to it to study by herself.--And many times before other +little girls have left their pillows, she has her lesson ready to +recite. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Sailing a Vessel. + + +Be careful, Charles; do not go too near the water; it would be a sad +affair to fall in and wet your clothes. Take care, too, not to drop the +string and let your little vessel sail out beyond your reach. It would +be a pity, indeed, to lose the fruits of so much labor as she has cost, +in so careless a manner. Now she sits beautifully on the smooth water; +the light breeze fills her sails, and her streamers are flying gaily. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Henry and Emma. + + +What a fine horse Miss Emma has got.--I have no doubt she can manage him +better than she could the one her papa drives.--Take care Henry; do not +stumble and fall down. Take care Emma; do not use the whip. A whip for a +plaything, is quite harmless; but if used as though you were driving a +real horse, it would be quite another thing. Brother is very kind, to +take the place of a dumb animal. It would be cruel to repay his kindness +with blows. Do Henry and Emma never hurt those, who treat them kindly? + + + + +[Illustration] + +Calling Names. + + +Do you see that little boy crying? What do you think is the cause of it? +Why, his playmate who is pointing his finger at him, called him hard +names. It is a naughty trick for children to excite each other's +passions in this way. They had much better use each other kindly. The +little girl you see, is trying to soothe him by persuasion. He should +not cry; but ought to show by his conduct, that he is above such petty +feelings. If he should do so, his companion would soon turn away with +shame. + + + + +[Illustration] + +Swinging. + + +Mary delighted in swinging, and she had a brother who was fond of her, +and who did all that he could to please her. You see him here indulging +her with her favorite play. It is to his skill, she is indebted for this +beautiful swing, which you see he has put up in a pleasant part in the +garden. How much more agreeable it is, to behold children thus uniting +to make each other happy, than it would be to see them always jealous of +each other's enjoyment. + + + + +[Illustration: THE SQUIRREL.] + +[Illustration: CALLING NAMES.] + + + + + +[Illustration] + + +GEO. P. DANIELS, + +BOOKSELLER, + +No. 2 South Main Street, + +PROVIDENCE, R. I. + + +Is extensively engaged in the publication of JUVENILE and TOY BOOKS, of +different sizes and prices. His little Books are all got up with great +taste, and illustrated with beautiful cuts. Very great care has been +taken, both in the original and selected matter, that not a word should +be introduced into them, which the most judicious parent would object to +place in the hands of his children. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Pictures and Stories, by Unknown + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PICTURES AND STORIES *** + +***** This file should be named 39169.txt or 39169.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/9/1/6/39169/ + +Produced by Jason Isbell, Chris Curnow and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by The Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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