Thcro were two men who went to the wood to cut down trees. Each ol them had a saw and an axe. They cut down two birch trees, iliree elms, and five oaks. It was hard work ; but the men were strong, and their tools were sharp, and they did the whole in less than a day. Next day each of them brought a horse, and a cart, and took the trees home with them, and put them in a yard, where they will be kept till they are fit for use. LESSON XXVIIL When we are on the road, or in the street, we should take care that no harm comes to us. If we do not take heed, a horse, or a cart, or a chaise, or a coach, may knock us down ; and if it does not kill ^us, it may at least bruise us, or 1 ) 34 break a limb. Boys and girls are apt to think so niiicli of their play, as not to mind (lie risk which they run ; but tliis is wrong ; and we are not wi^c, if we do not keep out of the way of whit would hurt us, and are so rash as not to rui off till the horse or chaise is close upon us. LESSON XXVIII. There goes Tom on the back of a large horse. I would not wish to be in his place^ lest the horse should throv/ me down, and hurt me with his feet, or dash me on the ground. I like best to ride on a horse made of wood. It does best for bovs like me. I can move on it as fast as 1 v/ish : and I can stop it when I please ; v.nd I may get a great deal of good from it. And then it will not bite, or kick, or tht ow me down, or run o(f V n I with me, or do me the least harm, LESSON XXIX. John tbrev/ a stone down the street. He did not mean to do harm ; bat just as the stone went out of his band, an okl man came in his way ; and it struck his head, and made it bleed ; and the wound gsve him great pain. John ran off as fast as he could ; and it may be that he does not know how much ill he has done. But if he knows this, and is a good boy, it will vex him, and make him grieve to think that he has hurt the old man. ^nd he id ill look on it as a sin, to have been so void of thought, as to do so rash a thing. All hoys should learn from this, not to throw stoncs^^ mhere there is the lea.^t risk ojKnrmio buforl young, ill » » s 1 ». .» . . . * • . 36 LESSON XXX. // loas God that made me at first. It is he that still keeps me in life. It is from him that all the good things come^ lohich are in my lot. Jlndit was he who sent CHRIST to save me. I wish that I could love him^ and fear him as I ought. It is a great sin to break the Lord^s day J or to take his name in vain^ or to go uiith those who walk in the paths of sin. He hates all such things^ and in his wrath will come upon those who do them^ and who imll not turn from them. I pray that I may not think had thoughts ; nor speak had wordSj nor do had deeds. I. II.
