the house, she gave him a thorough wash,
put him on a clean suit, and made him what
she called “fit to be seen†again. It was a

and she seemed to forget how dull it is to

to have nothing to do when your short lessons
are over but to keep yourself tidy. Alan’s
mamma felt for him, and played with him
_ herself as much as she could. But mamma
was not strong, and the plays in which she
could join were very quiet ones, hardly the
kind for which Alan wished. There was one
quiet play of which Alan seldom tired. Sitting
in the park with his wooden horse for com- —
pany, he would amuse himself for hours,
drawing pictures of cows, sheep, and every-
thing he saw.
“What are you drawing now, Master Alan?†|
Nurse asked him one day. Alan had been in
the park a long time. Nurse had sent him
out early.
“Fairies,†said Alan, holding up his sketch-
book. ‘Look, Nurse! These are fairies curl-
ing and brushing the wool of the little lambs, |

Nurse stooped and kissed him. She docont 3

And, if you were to see the loving way in
which Alan’ s little sister follows him, as far as
she can, here, there and everywhere, now that
she has erown from a tiny baby into a tiny
trot, you would not call Alan a lonely little

fishes, on which
he lives, and
insects, after
which he loves
to glance about,
are found there.
He likes bushes
all along the 2 Sa
banks; for when Fr ancueresreene
‘he fishes he has to sit on some twig overhang-
ing the stream till a fish appears below.
His nest is made in a hole on the stream-
bank. Sometimes he digs the hole for
himself, but more frequently he takes one
which has been made by a water-rat.
He lives in a hole that is quite to his mind,
With the green mossy hazel roots firmly
| entwined ;
Where the dark alder bough waves grace-
fully o’er, |
And the. sword- flag and arrow-head grow at
his door.
Then the brown water rat from his burrow
looks out,

Tim a treat, and never thought that the little

tried to be brave. At last he began to cry.

‘HOW NICE IT WAS IN THE BOAT.’’
THE WHALE. “13
THE WY HALE.
In the picture is a whale which is out of the
sea. Those figures by the side of the whale
are men on the dry shore. You may imagine,
therefore, the size of the whale by comparing it
with them. It is about sixty or seventy feet in
length. i
The whale lives in the cold and dangerous |
seas near the Pole. It is of great value. Men
go to these cold and dangerous seas to capture
it. A whale-fisher must be a brave, daring, and
thoughtful man. Through want of courage
and sound judgment, many whale-fishers have _
lost their lives. | ,
The whale has lungs and requires air, as you
ee THE WHALE.
and I do. He can remain under water a long
time, but must come now and then to the
surface to breathe and inflate his lungs afresh.
Then, as Job says. “out of his nostrils goeth —
smoke as out of a seething pot or caldron,†for
he shoots up great fountains of water. y
It is when he is up at the surface for breath-
ing that fishers catch the whale. The boat
waits till his great round back comes up above
the water. Then they row the boat to him,
and plunge into his side a harpoon. ‘The
harpooner can throw this instrument with great
force, and seldom misses his mark. .
The harpoon is arrow-shaped. It is made
of iron. At one end is the sharp point, and at
the other is a ring to which is fastened one end
of a rope, the other being fastened to the boat.
Once there was a whale which had been
harpooned, and was therefore fixed by a rope
to the fishermen’s boat. With ’-the rope
fastened to it, it dashed off towards a part of the
sea that was covered over with very thick ice, —
plunged under the ice, and dragged after it the
boat and all the poor men in it. The boat.
and men were never seen again. Such is
the streneth of the whale.

A PARROT, red and blue and green,

He fiew about from tree to tree,
As blithe and happy as could be.
One day the crows pulled up the wheat, ~
And Poll, too, helped to pull and eat ;
He chattered to the farmer’s foes, .
And did more damage than the crows. -

Alas for Poll’s unhappy lot!

But wounded lay among the crows,

How Poll had happened hurt to be;

And sadly shook his wounded head. |
Poll soon grew well and hopped about;
But often when the children shout,
He'll perch upon the nearest tree,
And sadly say, “ Bad Company.â€

hours we are carried quite to the end of our

Mother loves rose-buds, but Tot

“Sunshine and rain,†he said; “but never
mind if your buds are not all open, Tot. Mother

Tot brought a watering-pot. It was very

nearly reach them.â€
Another trot to the house, at Tot came
back with an old chair. Up she climbed and

broken right off. Father took out the thorns,
and held Tot close in his arms till she felt
better. Then he picked up the broken bough,
“We will gather the flowers, and put them
in water to keep fresh for mother,†he said,
“and next time you water your tree, Lot,
water the root like I do. Don’t sprinkle the
blooms to make them come out quick. Why,
Tot, when we give you nice bread and milk, to_

And in spite of her trouble, Tot began to

26 THE DONKEY,
Tue Donkey.
In England, even boys think it clever to do
cruel things to a donkey, and too often the
donkey’s master does more cruel things still.
His master gives him hard work, little to
eat, and many blows; and when the poor beast
has been dragging his cart about all day, and
goes home hungry,and tired, he gives him. no
corn for his supper.
There are some countries where the people i
treat donkeys much better than we do in
England. In those countries the poor donkeys
erow bigger and stronger than they do here,
and are even more useful than horses because
Ey, can bear great hardships.

instead of pitying Dora, she said, “ Look at the

Nurse picked up the kitten, undressed it, and
Dora ran crying to Grannie. Grannie did pity
the poor arm. She put some nice cold
cream to make it well, and kissed Dora ever
so many times.
“T don’t love Kitty any more!†sobbed
Dora. “I won’t play with her again!†—
Grannie gave Dora another kiss. “Kitty

THE SELF-WILLED SHEEP. 37
THE SELF-WILLED SHEEP.
‘Tuere was once a flock of sheep which was
under the care of one of the best of shepherds.
One foolish little sheep got it into its head
that 1t was a very hard thing to be following
all day at the shepherd’s heels, whilst there
was such a wide and beautiful world to see and
to enjoy. So one day it slipped away from the
flock. The good shepherd soon missed the
sheep, and at once he left the rest of his flock
and set off to find it. He called again and
again as he hunted about. everywhere for the °
missing Sheep. At length he heard something

like a bleat: it was very faint. He followed
the direction of the sound and called again,
and there was another feeble bleat.. There,
fast in a thicket, stood the foolish sheep,
panting and exhausted, his dry tongue hanging
far out of his parched and open mouth, and
quivering in every limb. a
“Dear, foolish sheep!†said ‘the pitying
shepherd, and, weary though he was, » he carried
it back to its home.

Mrs. Kangaroo sighed. ‘Only too well !

“Well, mother,’ Hoppy went on, “there
