" SING sweet, my bird ; oh sing, I pray, My pretty yellow bird ! This is the lovely moijth of May, When songs of birds are heard. You droop your head you fold your wing, Though surely y out are well, Then, dear % Canary, why not sing? Tour sorrow to me tell." Thus Lucy questioned still her pet ; Her eldest sister came, And said, " Dear Lucy, do not fret, If ill, you're not to blame : For constantly I've seen you give Your bird his drink and food ; After your breakfast, I believe ; My Lucy's kind and good." (5) 503747 6 LUCY'S CANARY. Then Lucy gave a bitter cry, And quick the cage took down, No seed! no water! all was dry, His life had nearly flown ! Her sister took the drooping bird, And gently water gave him, And long she watch'd, and greatly fear'd That she could never save him ! Poor Lucy wept with grief and shame, But, oh, what joy to see The bird revive and look the same, And perch most merrily ! " Thanks, dearest sister from this day, Before my breakfast, I'll attend My precious bird ! and you will say, No longer I'm. his careless friend.' 7 THE FARMER IN SPRING. THE FARMER IN SPRING. --> fljplHE farmer ma- A nures his land; that is, having collected large quantities of dung, mould, straw, leaves, and various kinds of rubbish, it is carted into the field, and thrown down in heaps at regular distances; men then come with their broad forks, called dung forks, and spread it over the soil. The next operation is ploughing. If you look at the plough, you will see that (9) 10 THE FARMER IN SPRING. it has pointed and cutting irons at its under part, so made and fixed, that they not only cut the soil, as they pass through it, but also turn it over. The plough is drawn by one or more horses, driven by a boy, while the ploughman guides it. After ploughing, the ground is har- rowed, that is it is raked all over ; but as it would be impossible to rake large fields in the same way as we rake a gar- den, a machine is made, called a harrow, which has sharp teeth, like a rake, and this is drawn over the ground by horses. Sometimes the ground requires to be rolled, in consequence of the clods being large. A large roller is drawn over the field, which breaks the clods and renders the whole surface smooth and uniform. THE FARMER IN SPRING. 1 1 After the ground has been thus pre- pared for the reception of seed, the sower comes and scatters the seed with an even hand. A skilful sower throws the seed with such exactness, that it comes up with great regularity. In this task the sower commits the seed to the earth with faith in the promises of the Creator. v JUNE. COME away ! Come away ! Flowers are fresh, and fields are gay. See the yellow butterfly, Hanging from the lilies by ; Herself a primrose born, To give back spring's full blushing morn. Come away ! Come away !

GEOKDIE AND THE SICK DOG. was Saturday afternoon, and had been longed for all the week by little Geor- die, as he was called, for he was- a<, very little fellow. Geordie had built himself a boat, and had promised to give it a fine sail in a pond, not a great way from the house in which he lived, called the fen ditch. So away he went, before he had quite eaten his dinner, with his boat in one hand, and the remains of a slice of bread and butter in the other: for his mother (16) GEORDIE'S DOG. GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. 19 was a poor woman r and Geordie did not get meat every day, * and never on a Saturday. But his cheeks were rosy, and his eye was bright, and his ringlets laughed in the wind, as he ran along, looking at his boat with eyes of delight all the way, and every now and then taking a huge mouth- ful, and then stopping for breath, for fear the dry crumbs should be blown down his chest. There was a beautiful breeze, as he called it, for he called every thing beau- tiful that pleased him. He had a beau- tiful piece of bread and butter ; and a beautiful knife ; and a beautiful pair of shoes, only his toes peeped through them. He had a kind, cheerful, and tender 20 GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. heart, and so every thing appeared beau- tiful to him, and few things had the power to make him discontented or peevish ; but, just as Geordie got over the warren hills, which led to his place of destination, he saw Harry Dyke, the groom at the great house of Lady Clover, coming over the swale, as it was called, with several of the boys of the village dancing about him, apparently in great delight. When he came nearer, he found that Harry was carrying, wrapped up in a piece of an old sack, a little dog, which Geordie recognised as being one which he had before seen, with its two fore- paws leaning over the ledge of the sash- 3 GEORDIE AND THE SICK BOG. 21 pane in Lady Dover's carriage, when she drove through the village. One of the boys had got a couple of brick-backs, and a long piece of cord, and seemed very officious. He called out to Harry, " Harry, let me throw him in, will you? there's a good fellow. But won't you give him a knock on the head, just one knock to dozzle him?' 7 " Why, they are going to drown that little pet-dog, that us children used to say, lived a great deal better than we did ; and, when I have been very hungry, I have often wished I was Lady Clover's lap-dog, for I heard say she sometimes gave it rump steak for its dinner, with oyster sauce." So thought little Geor- 22 GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. die to himself; he did not, however, say any thing. " Oh, here is little Geordie," said one of the boys. " Geordie, Geordie, come and have some sport! we are going to drown a dog in the fen ditch." "What are you going to drown it for?" said Geordie. " Oh, to have some fun, I suppose. No, it is not that ; it is because my lady can't bear the nasty thing it has got the mange or some disorder. There ; do not* touch it. Don't you smell it?" The poor little dog looked at Geordie, and tried to get out of the sacking, and gave a whine, as if it would be glad to get away from its enemies. "Lay down, you beast," said Harry, GEOKDIE AND THE^SICK DOG. 23 and gave it a severe blow on the head ; " lay down, I'll soon settle your business." By this time they had come to the fen brook, and the dog was placed on the ground, and taken from the sack-cloth in which it was wrapped. It was a de- plorable looking creature, and its hair was off in several places ; it yelped woe- fully as it looked around, while the boys began to prepare the noose and the brick-bats. " Oh, do not drown him/ 7 said Geor- die; "pray do not drown him. What are you going to drown him for?" "Why, because he is sick, and ill, and dirty. He is no good to any one," said Harry. " My lady used to be very fond 24 GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. of him ; but now he looks such an object, she says he is to be destroy ed." " Give him to me," said Geordie, "I'll have him, and keep him till he gets well he shall have half my dinner every day. Here, little dog, have this piece of bread and butter/' " Go away, and leave the dog alone/' said the boy who had the cord, "you are not going to spoil our sport. Get out of the way with you." And so he drew near, and fastened the cord to the dog's neck. " Oh, do give him to me ? Pray don't drown him," said Geordie, "pray do not. Oh, give him to me, I will make him well; indeed I will. Do let me have GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. 25 him? there's a good Harry Dyke,' 7 and the tears came into Geordie's eyes. " Go along, Mr. Dog Doctor," said Har- ry; "go along Mr. Cry Baby. 77 "Here, Harry, 111 give you my boat for the little dog ; it is a beautiful boat ; here, jput it into the water instead of the dog; do, do, do; 77 and so Geordie thrust the boat into Harry 7 s hand, and without waiting to settle the bargain, laid hold of the dog. " Leave go of him, 77 said the boy with the cord and the brick-bats, " leave go ; I tell you, if you do not, it shall be the worse for you. Leave go, or 77 " Ay, you may rap my knuckles, 77 said Geordie, "I do not mind that. Harry Dyke, Harry Dyke, am I not to have the 26 GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. dog, and you have the boat?" said he, struggling. " Oh, I do not care about it," said Harry ; " take him, if you will have him ; the boat will do for my brother Tom, and I wish you joy of the bargain." The other boys hearing this, were much disconcerted ; and would, no doubt, have molested Geordie still further, but the little fellow no sooner heard Har- ry's tacit consent, than he immediately set off at full speed, with the dog under his arm, in the direction of home. When he reached his home he was quite out of breath, and his mother was fearful something had happened to him. "Why, Geordie, Geordie, what is the GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. 27 matter with, you; and what have you got under your arm ?" Geordie laid down the dog, and the sight of the poor creature, whose looks told the state of disease in which it was, made the good woman quite afraid to ha,ve it in the house ; and, without hear- ing any thing of the circumstances con- nected with the poor animal, or giving Geordie time to explain, she declared it should not set foot in the house, and drove Geordie and his purchase out of it together; telling the latter to take it from whence it came, and that the house was not to be converted into a hospital for sick dogs. - Geordie was more disconcerted than ever ; he went into the fields, with the 28 GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. dog under Ms arm ; now lie laid it down and patted it ; then he talked to it ; and, in his childish manner, tried to comfort it. The poor creature looked up to Geor- die, and wagged its tail, and seemed quite glad to find somebody could feel for it. " Ay, that is the way of these lady- folks,^ thought Geordie to himself; "they like their pets, and fondle them enough while they look pretty and frisk about, and play and jump ; but, when they get sick, and ill, or old, then they hang or drown them. I wonder what makes them do it." What to-do with the dog Geordie did not know. At last, however, he bethought himself that he would take him up into GEOKDIE AND THE SICK DOG. 29 a little loft, over a small stable which his father had, and there make him a nice bed with some hay, and try and make him better. And so he mounted the ladder, and got into the loft. He soon made the poor thing a bed, and then he thought he would get him something to eat; but Geordie had no money. He had, however, a good many mar- bles, for Geordie was a capital hand at ring-taw, and so he took his marble-bag, and went into the green, were several boys were playing, and very soon sold his marbles. They produced four-pence, for there were more than fifty, at sixteen a penny. He then bought some dog's meat at 30 GEORDIE AXD THE SICK DOG. the butcher's, and a halfpenny worth of milk, and a halfpenny worth of sulphur to mix with the milk ; for somebody once said in his hearing, that sulphur and milk were good physic for dogs. He then washed the animal and fed him ; and with washing, and physicing, and comforting, in a few days the poor dog regained his strength ; in a few days more he regained his coat ; and it was not many days before he was as welLas ever. Geordie then ventured to bring him into his father and mother ; who, seeing the animal gijite Changed in appearance, and a lively, handsome, little dog, and not very old, were quite pleased with him ; and no less pleased with their son's GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. . 31 conduct, when* he explained to them all about it. Some weeks after this, Lady Clover came through the village, in her carriage, as usual, and was astonished to behold her little dog sitting, with his fore-paws out of Geordie' s mother's parlor window, just as he used to sit out in her lady- ship's carriage. Lady Clover alighted, and went to- wards the house. The dog immediately Tbegan to bark, nor would the soft tones of the lady's voice by any means pacify him. In a few minutes she learned the whole of her former pet's -history, and wished to have him again. " She would give Geordie a crown for him," she said ; but Geordie would not sell his dog. 32 , GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. " No, I thank you, my lady." " Bow- wow, wow/ 7 said the little dog. "He might be sick again, my lady, and then he would be drowned, my lady." " Bow- wow, wow bow-wow, wow." " Keep the plaguesome creature quiet," said her ladyship, " and hear me." " Bow- wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow," said the dog. Her ladyship could not obtain a hear- ing, and left the cottage in high dis- pleasure. . " I would not sell him for his weight in gold," said Geordie, "not to Lady Clover." It was some years after this that Geordie grew almost a man, and Chloe, for that was the dog's name, grew old ; Geordie's father had prospered in life; GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. 33 and, from being a poor cottager, had be- come a small farmer. One night he returned home with a considerable sum of money, arising from the sale of his crops, the principal part of which he had to pay away to his land- lord in a few days. ' Some evil-disposed fellows had obtain- ed a knowledge of this money being in the house, and determined to break into and rob it, perhaps to murder those who might oppose them. It was a very dark night, and all were sound asleep, when Black Bill and two companions, approached on tip-toe, to make an entrance in the back premises. By means of a centre-bit, they had soon cut a panel out of the wash-house 3 34 aEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. door; they then entered the kitchen without making the least noise. Black Bill had a large carving-knife in one hand, and a dark lantern in the other; and supposing the money to be in the bed-room, was mounting the stairs, to take it at any hazard. The stairs creaked with the weight of the robber, and in a moment Chloe aroused the whole house with her bark- ing her shrill voice was heard in every room. In a moment Geordie was up, and his father's blunderbuss at his shoulder. "Speak, or I'll fire," said he. No an- swer, but a scampering through the passage. Geordie followed he heard the robbers making their escape ; he fired the robber fell. GEORDIE AND THE SICK DOG. 35 Lights were procured. It was found that the fellow was only slightly wound- ed in the leg, which prevented his running away. In the morning it was discovered who the robber was it was the very boy, now grown a man, who had the cord and the brick-bats ! Chloe did not live long after this, but died of sheer old age ; not, however, you see, till she had amply repaid the kind- ness which had been bestowed upon her by Geordie. Learn from this, my little readers, a lesson of humanity." A LITTLE CHILD'S JOT, WHAT joy it is from day to day, To skip and sing, and dance and play, To breathe the air, to feel the sun, And o'er the spangled meadows run. What joy to move my limbs about, To hoop and halloo, call and shout, Among the woods, and feel as free As any bird upon a tree. What joy, when hungry, to eat, What pleasure is our daily meat ; How sweet when sleep the eyelids close, To sink in calm and soft repose. (36) A LITTLE CHILD'S JOY. A LITTLE CHILD'S JOY, 39 What joy, as morn begins to break, Refreshed and vigorous to awake ; To feel, amid the dews and flowers, New life bestowed on all my powers. But who bestows this constant joy On every little girl or boy ? 'Tis God, our Father, bright and wise, "Whose goodness every joy supplies. Then let me love and praise the Lord, And strive to know his holy Word ; To do no wrong, and think no ill, And evermore perform his will. PEATEE. KNEEL, my child, for GOD is here ! Bend in love and not in fear ; Kneel before him now in prayer, Thank him for his constant care ; Praise him for his bounty shed, Every moment on thy head : Ask him to point out thy way, And to guard thee through the day ; Ask him still to watch and keep Thee in the silent hour of sleep Ask for light to know his word, Ask for love to shed abroad ; Pray for strength, for thou art weak, And for grace and mercy seek. (40) THE PKAYER, PKAYER. 43 Ask for faith to bear thee on, Through the might of Christ his son ; Pray for mercy in his name, Who from heaven, to save thee, came ;. Ask his Spirit still to guide thee, Through the ills that may betide thee ; Ask for peace, to lull to rest Every tumult of thy breast ; Ask his soul-sustaining truth, As the spring-dew of thy youth ; Ask his Promises, to bless Thee in thy age's helplessness ; Ask in awe, but not in fear ; Kneel, my child, for God is here ! God thy Father is, and friend, Thy only stay, thy only trust ; He loves thee, and his wings extend To shield thee, though a child of dust. 44 PRAYER. Love him then, for he is good ; Sink before him, he is wise ; Life and health, and rest and food, He still ordains, and still supplies. Love him, for he lovet/i thee, Bendeth now thy prayer to hear ; Kneel, then, in deep humility, And pray, my child, for God is near. THE SQUIRREL. THE SQUIBREL. OH, nimble little squirrel, how blithe you hop about, From twig to twig, from branch to branch, now in yoii hole, now out. From spray to stump you leap and jump, and frisk away all day, Your bushy tail upon the wind ; you seem to say, Hurrah, Hurrah for life and liberty ! Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah ! And then, with light and frisky bound, again you are away. Now, now upon your heels you sit, just like a little Punch, With eye askance, in knowing glance, your nut or acorn munch. Oh, who could ever wish to see thee prison' d or confin'd, And put within an iron cage, to torture and to bind? inde Yet some there are, with cruel hearts, that love to smite thee down, Or capture thee in traps and nets, for pleasure of their own ; Will steal thy gentle little ones and take away thy nest, And let thee moan amid the woods the dear things of thy breast ; (47) 48 THE SQUIRREL. Will bring them up in bondage foul, whom God created free, And look upon thy dungeon-box with fell and wicked glee. Oh, pretty little squirrel, I could not serve you so, I'll watch you in your native woods, now skipping to and fro. I could not bear to coop you up, nor place on you a chain, For all the trees, and fruits, and flowers, these noble woods contain. But rather let me watch and see you hide your little store Of nuts and fruits for winter's day, when storms are blow- ing sore ; And looking thus, a lesson learn, to harbor and provide For future days and darksome hours, that haply may betide. May I, like you, dear little thing, lay in by early youth, The treasures of religion and the jewel-gems of truth; That when the wintrv hour comes on, and life is at its seer I still may find some other food to comfort and to cheer. Oh, knowing this, then let me be as gay and blithe as you, And bound and jump, and skip and play, and be delighted too ; And keep from sin and evil, free as you are in this wood, And taste the highest joy on earth, in being kind and good.
