SHERWOOD, - AUTHOR OF "LITTLE HENRY AND HIS BEARER," - &c. &c. - - - _NEW EDITION._ - - - LONDON: - HOULSTON AND STONEMAN, - 63, PATERNOSTER ROW. - - - - -THE WISHING-CAP. - - -There lived once a lady in London, who had a great deal of money, but -who had never given her heart to God. This lady had the care of five -children: four of them were brothers and sisters; and their names -were James and Edward, Charlotte and Louisa. The fifth child was an -orphan, and had no brothers or sisters. The name of this little boy was -Charles. Little Charles's papa and mamma had been dead only a very few -months: they were very pious people, and had brought up their little -boy in the fear of God. Charles thought of his papa and mamma every -day: he knew they were gone to heaven, and he knew, also, who that -blessed person was, for whose sake they had been received into that -happy place. - -[Illustration] - -Every day little Charles read a few chapters in a Bible which his papa -had given him, and he tried to remember the good things which had been -taught him: so God blessed little Charles, and helped him to be good. - -It happened, one Sunday afternoon, in the Christmas holidays, that the -lady came into the children's play-room, and sat down among them. "I am -come," she said, "to drink tea with you this evening; after which we -will put on a wishing-cap; and then we shall see what fine things the -wishing-cap will produce." - -The children were all pleased to see the lady sit down among them; and -while they were drinking their tea, they talked a great deal about the -wishing-cap. - -"What can a wishing-cap be?" said Louisa, who was the youngest: "and -how can it bring fine things?" - -"I never heard of a wishing-cap in all my life," said James. "I want -tea to be over, that we may see it." - -"O!" said Charlotte, "I know what is meant by a wishing-cap. I remember -reading of a man, in a fairy tale, who had a wishing-cap; and when he -put this cap on, and wished for any thing, he had it immediately: but -I thought there were no such things really as wishing-caps, except in -fairy tales." - -"Well, well," said the lady, "we shall see what kind of wishing-cap I -can make: but I must tell you, my wishing-cap is not so good a one as -the man's in the fairy tale; it will only produce such things as may be -easily had, it will not bring wonders to pass." - -In this manner they went on talking till tea was over, and the -tea-things carried away. Then the lady drew her chair to the fire, and -bidding the children sit round her, she put her hand into her pocket, -and pulled out a sheet of white paper. She then folded up the paper -in the shape of a cap, and holding it up in her hand, "This is the -wishing-cap," she said; "you shall put it on, and try what it is good -for. Come, who will be the first to wear the cap?" Then the lady placed -the cap on Charlotte's head. "Now," she said, "think! what do you wish -for?" - -[Illustration] - -"But will what I wish for really come?" said Charlotte. - -"Perhaps it may," answered the lady: "we shall know to-morrow morning." - -"Then," said Charlotte, "I wish for a muslin frock, trimmed with satin -ribbon." - -"Very well," said the lady. "Who comes next?" - -"I! I!" cried James, snatching the cap from his sister's head, and -putting it on his own; "I wish for a rocking-horse." - -"Now for me," said Edward; "give me the cap. I wish for a coachman's -whip. Now, Louisa, it is your turn." - -"I wish for a wax doll, with flaxen hair, and blue eyes," said Louisa. - -"Now you have all had your turns," said the lady, "but Charles: come, -Louisa, give the cap to Charles." - -"There, take it," cried Louisa, throwing the cap at him, "and make -haste." - -The cap fell at Charles's feet: he took it up, and laid it on the table. - -"Put it on your head, you foolish boy," said James, "and wish a wish." - -Charles smiled, but he did not offer to take up the cap. - -"What are you about?" said James, giving him a push; "put on the cap, -and tell us your wish." - -"Charles," said the lady, "don't you understand what you are to do? Put -on the cap, and don't be stupid." - -"I thank you, Ma'am," answered Charles; "but I beg that you will not be -angry, if I don't put on the wishing-cap." - -[Illustration] - -"But you shall have it on," said James, taking it off the table, and -putting it on his head. - -Charles took it quietly off his head, and laid it on the table. - -The lady looked surprised; and drawing Charles to her, she said, "What -is the meaning of your behaviour? Why will you not play with us?" - -"Perhaps you may not be pleased, if I tell you, Ma'am; and I do not -wish to make you angry," answered little Charles. - -"But I will know," said the lady, looking vexed. - -"My poor papa, when he was alive," said Charles, "used to tell me that -I ought not to wish for any thing but God's blessing: and he taught me -this verse--_Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; -and all these things shall be added unto you_: (Matt. vi. 33.) and -this is the reason why I do not like to put on the wishing-cap." - -While little Charles was speaking, the rest of the children stood -staring and laughing; and when he had done, the lady pushed him away, -saying, "You are a strange, foolish boy, and not fit to play with other -children. Go to bed immediately." - -Charles went up to his room. His cheeks were wet with tears, and his -heart was very sad. He remembered, that he once had a papa to lean his -head against when he was unhappy, and a dear mamma to wipe away his -tears; but they were both dead: yet still he had a Saviour to whom he -might freely go. So he tried to lift up his heart to this dear Saviour, -and laying his little head on his pillow, he fell asleep. In his sleep -he had a very sweet dream about heaven: and when he awoke in the -morning, he remembered these words in the Prophet Isaiah--_As one whom -his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you_. (Isaiah lxvi. 13.) - -[Illustration] - -While Charles was dressing himself, he heard a very great noise down -stairs. He made haste, and running into the play-room, he found the -rest of the children screaming and jumping for joy. Charlotte dressed -in a new muslin frock; Louisa with the wax doll she had wished for; -James riding on a large new rocking-horse; and Edward with a coachman's -whip. - -"Look here, Master Charles," said James, "see what the wishing-cap -has brought us! Are you not sorry now that you were such a fool as to -refuse to put on the wishing-cap?" Then the rude boy began to shout -and halloo, riding up and down as hard as the horse would go; while -Edward kept cutting and lashing the heels of the wooden horse with his -coachman's whip, whistling, and smacking his lips, like a coachman; -Louisa sung to her doll; and Charlotte danced about in her new frock, -singing and laughing: and, all together, there was such a noise, that -it might have been heard to the end of the street; the boys every now -and then crying out, "Well, Master Charles, what do you think of us -now?" - -Every thing went on very well, and all were in the greatest -good-humour, till Edward, without intending it, instead of lashing the -wooden legs of the horse, gave his brother a most terrible cut with his -long whip, over one knee, and across one hand. James, being made very -angry with the pain, jumped from his horse; and flying at his brother, -began to beat him with all his strength. Edward ran to his sisters for -help; and James followed, continuing to beat him, and saying, "You -sha'n't horse-whip me for nothing, Sir, I can tell you that." - -At length, James pushed Edward against Louisa; by which means, her doll -was thrown down, and broken to pieces: and Edward, as he fell, caught -his foot in Charlotte's new frock, and tore it sadly. - -Charlotte and Louisa now began to scream and cry in their turns; and -there was such a dreadful noise, that the lady came in haste to see -what was the matter. - -The children were all quiet, as soon as they saw the lady, and very -much frightened too. "So," she said, "you have been fighting, you -naughty children, instead of enjoying the pretty things I got for you! -You, Charlotte, have torn your frock; and you, Louisa, have broken -your doll. And as to you, you naughty boys, you have been beating each -other: go up to your bed-rooms; and there you shall stay all day, and -have nothing but bread and water. As for the rocking-horse and the -whip, I shall send them back to the shop." - -So the four children were taken up to their rooms; and the whip and the -rocking-horse were sent back to the shop: but little Charles was asked -to breakfast with the lady in the parlour. And she said to him, "I -begin to think your papa was a wise man, when he taught you to seek for -nothing but God's blessing: for I see that having the things we wish -for, does not always make us the happier." - -Little Charles was much pleased, when he heard the lady speak so -kindly; and he asked her to forgive the other children, but she would -not. - -[Illustration] - -And now I will tell you how little Charles received at last what he had -secretly desired above all things, and how happy it made him. - -About two months after this time, all the children were taken ill -with a fever which was then going about London. They all recovered, -however, but little Charles; for though the lady took great care of -him, because she now began to love him, and though a very skilful -doctor came often to see him, yet he got worse and worse. For many days -he could not speak, and did not know any body. - -At last, the time of his death drew very near. He had been asleep; and -opened his eyes, while the lady was standing by his bed. He looked -quite cheerful; and holding out his hand to her, "I am going to die, -Ma'am," he said, "I feel death approaching; but I am very happy. That -dear Saviour whose love my father taught me to seek, is very near me, -though my eyes do not now see him. He comforts me with his promises, -and tells me that for his sake death shall be made easy to me." - -[Illustration] - -"It was because I desired his love alone, that I ceased to wish for -other things. I knew that they could not make me happy. All the world, -my papa taught me, could not make me happy without my Saviour's love. -And now I am going to this dear Saviour; and I know that he will -forgive my sins, because he gave me grace to seek him." - -Then little Charles prayed that God would bless the lady, and the other -children under her care: and soon afterwards he died. - -I am happy to tell you, that the lady never forgot little Charles's -words upon his dying bed. From that time, she gave her heart to seek -heavenly blessings instead of earthly possessions: and she used often -to say to the other children, when they were wishing for toys, or -other foolish things, "Remember little Charles; and, like him, put away -the wishing-cap." - -And so I say to you, my dear little children, who may hereafter read -this story,-- - - - DON'T PUT ON THE WISHING-CAP. - - - FINIS. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Wishing Cap, by Mary Martha Sherwood - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE WISHING CAP *** - -***** This file should be named 63295-0.txt or 63295-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/2/9/63295/ - -Produced by Carlos Colón, the University of California and -the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at -https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images -generously made available by The Internet Archive/American -Libraries.) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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.

The name -of this little boy was Charles. Little -Charles's papa and mamma had been -dead only a very few months: they -were very pious people, and had<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span> -brought up their little boy in the fear -of God. Charles thought of his papa -and mamma every day: he knew they -were gone to heaven, and he knew, -also, who that blessed person was, for -whose sake they had been received -into that happy place.</p> - -<div class="figcenter2em"><img src="images/p008.jpg" width="500" -height="391" alt="" title="" /></div> - - -<p>Every day little Charles read a few<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span> -chapters in a Bible which his papa -had given him, and he tried to remember -the good things which had -been taught him: so God blessed -little Charles, and helped him to be -good.</p> - -<p>It happened, one Sunday afternoon, -in the Christmas holidays, that the -lady came into the children's play-room, -and sat down among them. "I -am come," she said, "to drink tea -with you this evening; after which we -will put on a wishing-cap; and then -we shall see what fine things the wishing-cap -will produce."</p> - -<p>The children were all pleased to -see the lady sit down among them;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span> -and while they were drinking their -tea, they talked a great deal about -the wishing-cap.</p> - -<p>"What can a wishing-cap be?" said -Louisa, who was the youngest: "and -how can it bring fine things?"</p> - -<p>"I never heard of a wishing-cap in -all my life," said James. "I want tea -to be over, that we may see it."</p> - -<p>"O!" said Charlotte, "I know -what is meant by a wishing-cap. I -remember reading of a man, in a fairy -tale, who had a wishing-cap; and -when he put this cap on, and wished -for any thing, he had it immediately: -but I thought there were no such<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span> -things really as wishing-caps, except -in fairy tales."</p> - -<p>"Well, well," said the lady, "we -shall see what kind of wishing-cap I -can make: but I must tell you, my -wishing-cap is not so good a one as -the man's in the fairy tale; it will -only produce such things as may be -easily had, it will not bring wonders -to pass."</p> - -<p>In this manner they went on talking -till tea was over, and the tea-things -carried away. Then the lady -drew her chair to the fire, and bidding -the children sit round her, she -put her hand into her pocket, and -pulled out a sheet of white paper. She<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span> -then folded up the paper in the shape -of a cap, and holding it up in her -hand, "This is the wishing-cap," she -said; "you shall put it on, and try -what it is good for. Come, who will -be the first to wear the cap?" Then -the lady placed the cap on Charlotte's -head. "Now," she said, "think! -what do you wish for?"</p> - -<div class="figcenter2em"><img src="images/p012.jpg" width="500" -height="398" alt="" title="" /></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span> -"But will what I wish for really -come?" said Charlotte.</p> - -<p>"Perhaps it may," answered the lady: -"we shall know to-morrow morning."</p> - -<p>"Then," said Charlotte, "I wish -for a muslin frock, trimmed with satin -ribbon."</p> - -<p>"Very well," said the lady. "Who -comes next?"</p> - -<p>"I! I!" cried James, snatching the -cap from his sister's head, and putting -it on his own; "I wish for a -rocking-horse."</p> - -<p>"Now for me," said Edward; "give<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span> -me the cap. I wish for a coachman's -whip.

Put on the cap, and don't be -stupid."</p> - -<p>"I thank you, Ma'am," answered -Charles; "but I beg that you will -not be angry, if I don't put on the -wishing-cap."</p> - -<p class="p2"><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter2em"><img src="images/p016.jpg" width="500" -height="401" alt="" title="" /></div> - -<p>"But you shall have it on," said -James, taking it off the table, and -putting it on his head.</p> - -<p>Charles took it quietly off his head, -and laid it on the table.</p> - -<p>The lady looked surprised; and -drawing Charles to her, she said,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span> -"What is the meaning of your behaviour? -Why will you not play -with us?"</p> - -<p>"Perhaps you may not be pleased, -if I tell you, Ma'am; and I do not -wish to make you angry," answered -little Charles.</p> - -<p>"But I will know," said the lady, -looking vexed.</p> - -<p>"My poor papa, when he was -alive," said Charles, "used to tell me -that I ought not to wish for any -thing but God's blessing: and he -taught me this verse—<i>Seek ye first -the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; -and all these things shall be<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span> -added unto you</i>: (Matt. vi. 33.) -and this is the reason why I do not -like to put on the wishing-cap."</p> - -<p>While little Charles was speaking, -the rest of the children stood staring -and laughing; and when he had done, -the lady pushed him away, saying, -"You are a strange, foolish boy, and -not fit to play with other children. -Go to bed immediately."</p> - -<p>Charles went up to his room. His -cheeks were wet with tears, and his heart -was very sad. He remembered, that -he once had a papa to lean his head -against when he was unhappy, and a -dear mamma to wipe away his tears; -but they were both dead: yet still<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[19]</a></span> -he had a Saviour to whom he might -freely go. So he tried to lift up his -heart to this dear Saviour, and laying -his little head on his pillow, he fell -asleep. In his sleep he had a very -sweet dream about heaven: and when -he awoke in the morning, he remembered -these words in the Prophet -Isaiah—<i>As one whom his mother com<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span>forteth, -so will I comfort you</i>. (Isaiah -lxvi. 13.)</p> - -<div class="figcenter2em"><img src="images/p019.jpg" width="500" -height="402" alt="" title="" /></div> - -<p>While Charles was dressing himself, -he heard a very great noise down -stairs. He made haste, and running -into the play-room, he found the rest -of the children screaming and jumping -for joy. Charlotte dressed in a -new muslin frock; Louisa with the -wax doll she had wished for; James -riding on a large new rocking-horse; -and Edward with a coachman's whip.</p> - -<p>"Look here, Master Charles," said -James, "see what the wishing-cap has -brought us! Are you not sorry now -that you were such a fool as to refuse -to put on the wishing-cap?" Then the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span> -rude boy began to shout and halloo, -riding up and down as hard as the -horse would go; while Edward kept -cutting and lashing the heels of the -wooden horse with his coachman's -whip, whistling, and smacking his -lips, like a coachman; Louisa sung -to her doll; and Charlotte danced -about in her new frock, singing and -laughing: and, all together, there -was such a noise, that it might have -been heard to the end of the street; -the boys every now and then crying -out, "Well, Master Charles, what do -you think of us now?"</p> - -<p>Every thing went on very well, and -all were in the greatest good-humour, -till Edward, without intending it, in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[22]</a></span>stead -of lashing the wooden legs of -the horse, gave his brother a most -terrible cut with his long whip, over -one knee, and across one hand. -James, being made very angry with -the pain, jumped from his horse; and -flying at his brother, began to beat -him with all his strength. Edward -ran to his sisters for help; and James -followed, continuing to beat him, and -saying, "You sha'n't horse-whip me -for nothing, Sir, I can tell you that."</p> - -<p>At length, James pushed Edward -against Louisa; by which means, her -doll was thrown down, and broken to -pieces: and Edward, as he fell, caught -his foot in Charlotte's new frock, and -tore it sadly.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[23]</a></span> -Charlotte and Louisa now began to -scream and cry in their turns; and -there was such a dreadful noise, that -the lady came in haste to see what -was the matter.</p> - -<p>The children were all quiet, as soon -as they saw the lady, and very much -frightened too. "So," she said, "you -have been fighting, you naughty children, -instead of enjoying the pretty -things I got for you! You, Charlotte, -have torn your frock; and you, -Louisa, have broken your doll. And -as to you, you naughty boys, you have -been beating each other: go up to -your bed-rooms; and there you shall -stay all day, and have nothing but -bread and water. As for the rocking-horse<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[24]</a></span> -and the whip, I shall send them -back to the shop."</p> - -<p>So the four children were taken up -to their rooms; and the whip and the -rocking-horse were sent back to the -shop: but little Charles was asked to -breakfast with the lady in the parlour. -And she said to him, "I begin to think -your papa was a wise man, when he -taught you to seek for nothing but -God's blessing: for I see that having -the things we wish for, does not always -make us the happier."</p> - -<p>Little Charles was much pleased, -when he heard the lady speak so kindly; -and he asked her to forgive the -other children, but she would not.</p> - -<p class="p2"><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[25]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter2em"><img src="images/p025.jpg" width="500" -height="399" alt="" title="" /></div> - -<p>And now I will tell you how little -Charles received at last what he had -secretly desired above all things, and -how happy it made him.</p> - -<p>About two months after this time, -all the children were taken ill with a -fever which was then going about -London. They all recovered, how<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[26]</a></span>ever, -but little Charles; for though -the lady took great care of him, because -she now began to love him, and -though a very skilful doctor came -often to see him, yet he got worse -and worse. For many days he could -not speak, and did not know any -body.</p> - -<p>At last, the time of his death drew -very near. He had been asleep; and -opened his eyes, while the lady was -standing by his bed. He looked quite -cheerful; and holding out his hand -to her, "I am going to die, Ma'am," -he said, "I feel death approaching; -but I am very happy. That dear -Saviour whose love my father taught -me to seek, is very near me, though<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[27]</a></span> -my eyes do not now see him.

From that time, -she gave her heart to seek heavenly -blessings instead of earthly possessions: -and she used often to say to -the other children, when they were<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span> -wishing for toys, or other foolish -things, "Remember little Charles; -and, like him, put away the wishing-cap."</p> - -<p>And so I say to you, my dear little -children, who may hereafter read this -story,—</p> - -<p class="p2 center">DON'T PUT ON THE WISHING-CAP.</p> - -<p class="p2 center">FINIS.</p> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Wishing Cap, by Mary Martha Sherwood - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE WISHING CAP *** - -***** This file should be named 63295-h.htm or 63295-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/2/9/63295/ - -Produced by Carlos Colón, the University of California and -the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at -https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images -generously made available by The Internet Archive/American -Libraries.) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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.

SHERWOOD, - AUTHOR OF "LITTLE HENRY AND HIS BEARER," - &c. &c. - - - _NEW EDITION._ - - - LONDON: - HOULSTON AND STONEMAN, - 63, PATERNOSTER ROW. - - - - -THE WISHING-CAP. - - -There lived once a lady in London, who had a great deal of money, but -who had never given her heart to God. This lady had the care of five -children: four of them were brothers and sisters; and their names -were James and Edward, Charlotte and Louisa. The fifth child was an -orphan, and had no brothers or sisters. The name of this little boy was -Charles. Little Charles's papa and mamma had been dead only a very few -months: they were very pious people, and had brought up their little -boy in the fear of God. Charles thought of his papa and mamma every -day: he knew they were gone to heaven, and he knew, also, who that -blessed person was, for whose sake they had been received into that -happy place. - -[Illustration] - -Every day little Charles read a few chapters in a Bible which his papa -had given him, and he tried to remember the good things which had been -taught him: so God blessed little Charles, and helped him to be good. - -It happened, one Sunday afternoon, in the Christmas holidays, that the -lady came into the children's play-room, and sat down among them. "I am -come," she said, "to drink tea with you this evening; after which we -will put on a wishing-cap; and then we shall see what fine things the -wishing-cap will produce." - -The children were all pleased to see the lady sit down among them; and -while they were drinking their tea, they talked a great deal about the -wishing-cap. - -"What can a wishing-cap be?" said Louisa, who was the youngest: "and -how can it bring fine things?" - -"I never heard of a wishing-cap in all my life," said James. "I want -tea to be over, that we may see it." - -"O!" said Charlotte, "I know what is meant by a wishing-cap. I remember -reading of a man, in a fairy tale, who had a wishing-cap; and when he -put this cap on, and wished for any thing, he had it immediately: but -I thought there were no such things really as wishing-caps, except in -fairy tales." - -"Well, well," said the lady, "we shall see what kind of wishing-cap I -can make: but I must tell you, my wishing-cap is not so good a one as -the man's in the fairy tale; it will only produce such things as may be -easily had, it will not bring wonders to pass." - -In this manner they went on talking till tea was over, and the -tea-things carried away. Then the lady drew her chair to the fire, and -bidding the children sit round her, she put her hand into her pocket, -and pulled out a sheet of white paper. She then folded up the paper -in the shape of a cap, and holding it up in her hand, "This is the -wishing-cap," she said; "you shall put it on, and try what it is good -for. Come, who will be the first to wear the cap?" Then the lady placed -the cap on Charlotte's head. "Now," she said, "think! what do you wish -for?" - -[Illustration] - -"But will what I wish for really come?" said Charlotte. - -"Perhaps it may," answered the lady: "we shall know to-morrow morning." - -"Then," said Charlotte, "I wish for a muslin frock, trimmed with satin -ribbon." - -"Very well," said the lady. "Who comes next?" - -"I! I!" cried James, snatching the cap from his sister's head, and -putting it on his own; "I wish for a rocking-horse." - -"Now for me," said Edward; "give me the cap. I wish for a coachman's -whip. Now, Louisa, it is your turn." - -"I wish for a wax doll, with flaxen hair, and blue eyes," said Louisa. - -"Now you have all had your turns," said the lady, "but Charles: come, -Louisa, give the cap to Charles." - -"There, take it," cried Louisa, throwing the cap at him, "and make -haste." - -The cap fell at Charles's feet: he took it up, and laid it on the table. - -"Put it on your head, you foolish boy," said James, "and wish a wish." - -Charles smiled, but he did not offer to take up the cap. - -"What are you about?" said James, giving him a push; "put on the cap, -and tell us your wish." - -"Charles," said the lady, "don't you understand what you are to do? Put -on the cap, and don't be stupid." - -"I thank you, Ma'am," answered Charles; "but I beg that you will not be -angry, if I don't put on the wishing-cap." - -[Illustration] - -"But you shall have it on," said James, taking it off the table, and -putting it on his head. - -Charles took it quietly off his head, and laid it on the table. - -The lady looked surprised; and drawing Charles to her, she said, "What -is the meaning of your behaviour? Why will you not play with us?" - -"Perhaps you may not be pleased, if I tell you, Ma'am; and I do not -wish to make you angry," answered little Charles. - -"But I will know," said the lady, looking vexed. - -"My poor papa, when he was alive," said Charles, "used to tell me that -I ought not to wish for any thing but God's blessing: and he taught me -this verse--_Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; -and all these things shall be added unto you_: (Matt. vi. 33.) and -this is the reason why I do not like to put on the wishing-cap." - -While little Charles was speaking, the rest of the children stood -staring and laughing; and when he had done, the lady pushed him away, -saying, "You are a strange, foolish boy, and not fit to play with other -children. Go to bed immediately." - -Charles went up to his room. His cheeks were wet with tears, and his -heart was very sad. He remembered, that he once had a papa to lean his -head against when he was unhappy, and a dear mamma to wipe away his -tears; but they were both dead: yet still he had a Saviour to whom he -might freely go. So he tried to lift up his heart to this dear Saviour, -and laying his little head on his pillow, he fell asleep. In his sleep -he had a very sweet dream about heaven: and when he awoke in the -morning, he remembered these words in the Prophet Isaiah--_As one whom -his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you_. (Isaiah lxvi. 13.) - -[Illustration] - -While Charles was dressing himself, he heard a very great noise down -stairs. He made haste, and running into the play-room, he found the -rest of the children screaming and jumping for joy. Charlotte dressed -in a new muslin frock; Louisa with the wax doll she had wished for; -James riding on a large new rocking-horse; and Edward with a coachman's -whip. - -"Look here, Master Charles," said James, "see what the wishing-cap -has brought us! Are you not sorry now that you were such a fool as to -refuse to put on the wishing-cap?" Then the rude boy began to shout -and halloo, riding up and down as hard as the horse would go; while -Edward kept cutting and lashing the heels of the wooden horse with his -coachman's whip, whistling, and smacking his lips, like a coachman; -Louisa sung to her doll; and Charlotte danced about in her new frock, -singing and laughing: and, all together, there was such a noise, that -it might have been heard to the end of the street; the boys every now -and then crying out, "Well, Master Charles, what do you think of us -now?" - -Every thing went on very well, and all were in the greatest -good-humour, till Edward, without intending it, instead of lashing the -wooden legs of the horse, gave his brother a most terrible cut with his -long whip, over one knee, and across one hand. James, being made very -angry with the pain, jumped from his horse; and flying at his brother, -began to beat him with all his strength. Edward ran to his sisters for -help; and James followed, continuing to beat him, and saying, "You -sha'n't horse-whip me for nothing, Sir, I can tell you that." - -At length, James pushed Edward against Louisa; by which means, her doll -was thrown down, and broken to pieces: and Edward, as he fell, caught -his foot in Charlotte's new frock, and tore it sadly. - -Charlotte and Louisa now began to scream and cry in their turns; and -there was such a dreadful noise, that the lady came in haste to see -what was the matter. - -The children were all quiet, as soon as they saw the lady, and very -much frightened too. "So," she said, "you have been fighting, you -naughty children, instead of enjoying the pretty things I got for you! -You, Charlotte, have torn your frock; and you, Louisa, have broken -your doll. And as to you, you naughty boys, you have been beating each -other: go up to your bed-rooms; and there you shall stay all day, and -have nothing but bread and water. As for the rocking-horse and the -whip, I shall send them back to the shop." - -So the four children were taken up to their rooms; and the whip and the -rocking-horse were sent back to the shop: but little Charles was asked -to breakfast with the lady in the parlour. And she said to him, "I -begin to think your papa was a wise man, when he taught you to seek for -nothing but God's blessing: for I see that having the things we wish -for, does not always make us the happier." - -Little Charles was much pleased, when he heard the lady speak so -kindly; and he asked her to forgive the other children, but she would -not. - -[Illustration] - -And now I will tell you how little Charles received at last what he had -secretly desired above all things, and how happy it made him. - -About two months after this time, all the children were taken ill -with a fever which was then going about London. They all recovered, -however, but little Charles; for though the lady took great care of -him, because she now began to love him, and though a very skilful -doctor came often to see him, yet he got worse and worse. For many days -he could not speak, and did not know any body. - -At last, the time of his death drew very near. He had been asleep; and -opened his eyes, while the lady was standing by his bed. He looked -quite cheerful; and holding out his hand to her, "I am going to die, -Ma'am," he said, "I feel death approaching; but I am very happy. That -dear Saviour whose love my father taught me to seek, is very near me, -though my eyes do not now see him. He comforts me with his promises, -and tells me that for his sake death shall be made easy to me." - -[Illustration] - -"It was because I desired his love alone, that I ceased to wish for -other things. I knew that they could not make me happy. All the world, -my papa taught me, could not make me happy without my Saviour's love. -And now I am going to this dear Saviour; and I know that he will -forgive my sins, because he gave me grace to seek him." - -Then little Charles prayed that God would bless the lady, and the other -children under her care: and soon afterwards he died. - -I am happy to tell you, that the lady never forgot little Charles's -words upon his dying bed. From that time, she gave her heart to seek -heavenly blessings instead of earthly possessions: and she used often -to say to the other children, when they were wishing for toys, or -other foolish things, "Remember little Charles; and, like him, put away -the wishing-cap." - -And so I say to you, my dear little children, who may hereafter read -this story,-- - - - DON'T PUT ON THE WISHING-CAP. - - - FINIS. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Wishing Cap, by Mary Martha Sherwood - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE WISHING CAP *** - -***** This file should be named 63295.txt or 63295.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/2/9/63295/ - -Produced by Carlos Colón, the University of California and -the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at -https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images -generously made available by The Internet Archive/American -Libraries.) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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.
