On the way the sun was so hot that we felt as if it would melt us ; but we had a tent to rest in, when we got to the end of our trip. The tent was lent to us and was so big that it held all of us. 56 LESSON XXXI— Continued. Fred had on a new vest and his best belt ; and had a cord of hemp to help fix the tent. He went to the crest of the hill to see a bird's nest; but did not ep well, so he fell with a jerk and made a rent in his coat by the end of a bent branch. When he held up his hand we saw it was cut and had bled. We did not send him back, for he was well-bred and did not fret, but said : — " Mam-ma will mend the rent and will tend my hand.'* We sent him to see if the bird had fled, but it had not, so he was glad, and went on with the rest of us in our quest for ferns. When we left the bend of the glen, the sun was low in the west, so we had to wend our way back, and our hap-py day was at an end. )d. iSt ay an LESSON XXXII. 57 i short, with two consonants before or after, or before a'nd after. skip slit grin swim silk firm clip spin grip gift pink rift slid brig trim lifts think mist slip crib trip gilt sink flit grim string milk hint Words to be taught as wholes. old you your thread When Will was a lad of six, he got as a gift a toy brig with a pink hull, and a gilt mast with a silk flag on it. As his mam-ma tuck-ed him in his crib she let slip a hint that he was to get it. Next morn-ing he put 58 LESSON XXXII— Continued. up his hand and felt on a shelf by his crib. When he got the brig, he jump-ed up and ran to his mam- ma to thank her for it. Af-ter he had his brc^d and milk, his mam-ma said: — " i'he grass is damp with the mist ; but when the sun lifts it, you may go to the pond and send the brig on a trip." It was not long till he set off. When he got to the pond he said : — ^' I do not want to put the brig in ; it may sink or flit oif" A grim old man that sat by said, with a g"in —" Oh, it will not sink. It is a trim craft and will swim as well as a duck. I shall tack a string to it, and you can grasp it with a Arm grip, then it can-not flit oflT." At this. Will was glad, and said: — "I thank you, sir." LESSON XXXIl— Continued. 59 He then slid it off the bank in- to the pond. A gust of wind sprang up and sent the brig off with a skip and a spin. Will was so glad, he felt he must clap his hands. As he did this he let the string slip from his grasp ; and the wind sent the brig off It struck on a rock, which dash-ed a rift in the hull, and cut a slit in the flag. Will felt sad ; but the man, with a long rod, got the brig back ; and said : — " Do not fret, my lad. I think I can mend the rift ; and your mam-ma can clip a bit off the end of the flag or stitch it with a thread of silk." Will is now a lad of ten. He has his brig yet ; but he nev-er lets it slip off as it did on the first trip. 60 LESSON XXXIII.

One day, the punt, which is but an old hulk, turn-ed o-ver, and they be-gan to sink ; but some boys who were on the bank swam out and i)ull-ed them in.
