LITTLE
JANE AND THE POOR MAN.
[Pg 3]
Did you ever learn the little hymn, which speaks about the poor? It is a beautiful hymn. We wish you and your
little sisters to learn it by heart. Here it is—
[Pg 5]
[Pg 6]
THE RUDE
GIRL.
How strange that children will ever be found climbing over fences! The falls and bruises of their companions
seem not to warn them of the danger of it. We can scarcely pass through the streets without seeing some upon
the fence tops. Had this little girl just taken warning by what she had seen the day before, it would now have
been well with her. But the fall of her school mate she soon [Pg 7] forgot—sooner than she will forget the
bruises she has now received.—Well, we hope that at least she will keep off from fence tops hereafter. It is
really too bad for any girl to attempt to climb fences, and we are sure that none would wish to, after such a fall
as Jane has had.
Jane was soon able to be about again: but O, what a face did she carry! Her cheeks were deeply scratched, and
her nose was bruised almost to flatness. The little girls with whom she formerly played could hardly believe
that it was Jane Jones, and although they loved her much they could but pity her. Jane was never afterwards
seen upon a fence: O, no! she knew she had done wrong, and most carefully did she avoid going where she
might get another fall.
[Pg 8]
THE
CRUEL BOY.
[Pg 9]
And now, let us ask the little boy why he was led to such an act of cruelty. He makes no answer. Verily, we
should think he would feel guilty, and certainly he looks heartily ashamed. We hope he will never again be
found engaged in such an act. If he has no parents to teach him to do better, we pity him. But that is no excuse
for doing wrong. We would advise him to go to school, and there improve his time, and learn to do better. We
hope he will take our advice, and that we shall soon have the pleasure of hearing that he has become a better
boy.
[Pg 10]
THE
SCHOOL ROOM.
[Pg 11]
Yes, this is a school room, where little boys and girls are taught to spell, to read and to write. On the left hand
side of the picture you may see the school master busily engaged in preparing the copy books for the boys. In
the front part of the room you can see the monitor examining the writing of one of the boys. Thus the masters
set a good example for industry. And we are glad to see the little boys ready to follow it. They also are all
busily engaged in their studies. All! did we say? Alas! there are two who are mischievously playing. Do you
not see them? We are sorry that they should be found breaking the rules of the school, while the other boys are
studying their lessons, and improving their minds.
[Pg 12]
JANE
THOMPSON.
[Pg 13]
JANE THOMPSON.
This is Jane Thompson; and I wish I could say that she was a good girl. But her looks and actions show that
she is very far from being good. She is fretful and peevish, and when her mamma told her that it was time for
little folks to go to bed, she began to whine and pout, and said she did not wish to go to bed then—she did not
wish to go until nurse went.
No good child would have behaved in this manner, on being told that it was bed-time. Oh, no. Good children
are ever ready to obey their parents, and cheerfully go to bed when their parents wish. What is there more
lovely than an obedient child! Let every little girl and boy learn this beautiful verse. I will soon give you some
others.
[Pg 14]

THE
PASSIONATE BOY.
[Pg 15]
Yes, because this little girl had used her brother's knife, he became very angry. And now you may see him
violently throwing his sister's doll upon the floor. Already he has broken its little arms, which you can see
scattered upon the floor. Ah, that is very wicked. No little boy or girl ever ought to get angry. It is a passion
which "leads to clubs, and naked swords—to murder and to death."
Here is a little hymn which you may learn. We wish you to get it by heart; and whenever you are tempted to
be angry, at least stop long enough to say it to the fourth verse. You will find it on the next page.
