[Illustration] LONDON: WILLIAM DARTON AND SON, HOLBORN-HILL. [Illustration] GO-ING TO CHURCH. How neat and nice this lit-tle boy and his sis-ter look, go-ing intheir Sun-day clothes to church! The lit-tle girl has, I dare say, her prayer book in her bag, and her bro-ther has his un-der hisarm. They seem by their fa-ces, to be good chil-dren, and ap-pearve-ry fond of each oth-er. They have been taught by their kindpa-rents, that it is their du-ty to at-tend di-vine wor-ship, andpray to God, and the lit-tle girl is point-ing out to her broth-erthe poor old wo-man on her way to church, and seems to be prais-ingher good-ness. [Illustration] PRET-TY POLL. Up-on my word, this is a ve-ry pret-ty look-ing par-rot, and thechildren seem much pleas-ed with it. I hope they ne-ver play a-nytricks with it, or try to tease it, for par-rots when an-gry canbite pret-ty hard. Poll and her young friends seem to be quite ongood terms, but I should not like to have my fin-ger so near herbill, unless I were cer-tain of her be-ing in a good hu-mour. Par-rots a-muse us much by their be-ing able to learn to talk farbet-ter than a-ny o-ther bird. [Illustration] THE FLOW-ER GAR-DEN. What a pret-ty scene a flow-er gar-den af-fords! Roses, tu-lips, wall-flowers, and ma-ny oth-ers, a-like pleasing to the sight andthe smell. The lit-tle boy de-serves to en-joy all the plea-surethat the gar-den can pro-cure him; for he is at work with histools, his spade, his bar-row, and his roll-ing stone, which shewsa de-sire of mak-ing him-self use-ful. I be-lieve, too, he haskind-ly gi-ven his eld-est sis-ter the rose at which she issmell-ing, and he will I have no doubt, help the young-est infill-ing her bas-ket. [Illustration] THE NEW DOLL. We must con-fess that the lit-tle lass with the doll in her hand, makes a ve-ry cle-ver and care-ful nurse. She is shew-ing her newtrea-sure to her friend on her right with no small de-gree ofpride, at which we need not won-der, nor at the man-ner in whichthe oth-er ap-pears to ad-mire it, for it is a ve-ry hand-someaf-fair. It must have cost the lit-tle girl's pa-pa and ma-ma agreat deal of mo-ney, and I hope she will know how to va-lue andtake care of it, and not throw it a-bout af-ter she has had it alit-tle while, and get tir-ed of it, as I have known some sillychildren do. [Illustration] A WALK WITH MA-MA. This lit-tle boy and girl, may ve-ry well be in high spi-rits. Their ma-ma is not of-ten a-ble to go out with them, for thein-fant takes up a great deal of her time, and she has ma-ny oth-erthings to at-tend to at home, so that the chil-dren most-ly walkwith the ser-vant. But to-day, ma-ma is at lei-sure, and they haveset out for a nice walk in the fields, ba-by and all. The child-renseem rea-dy to skip with de-light, and e-ven Tray shares in theirjoy. We wish the par-ty much pleasure. [Illustration] A RIDE WITH MA-MA. Well, this is a tru-ly sty-lish set-out. The pair of long-tailedhor-ses are per-fect beau-ties, and the post-lad has no need to usethe whip to them. I do not won-der that the lit-tle folks enjoytheir ride so much, in such a nice car-riage, and through such alove-ly coun-try, and, above all as they are a-long with their kindma-ma, who is point-ing out all that she thinks like-ly to a-musethem. I am sure they have been good chil-dren, or their ma-ma wouldnot have ta-ken them with her. [Illustration] THE PET LAMB. What a pret-ty, tame, gen-tle crea-ture and how fond-ly its youngmis-tress seems to ca-ress it. Yet I am al-most a-fraid that herkind-ness is car-ried to ex-cess, and that she hugs the lambra-ther too close for its com-fort. In-deed its looks near-lyex-press as much. Her bro-ther ap-pears ful-ly to share in herfond-ness for the lamb. He has a bas-ket of gay flowers stand-ingon the ground be-side him, and is making a gar-land for the neck ofthe pet, which when, dress-ed out, will no doubt cut a ve-ry smartfi-gure. [Illustration] CHARLES'S NEW BOAT. Our young sail-or has just launch-ed his new ves-sel, and a ve-ryneat and trim one it is. The rig-ging is in good or-der, and thewind fills the spread-ing sails brave-ly. The grace and beau-ty ofthe bark seems great-ly to de-light Charles, as well as his twosis-ters, who have come to par-take in the plea-sure of the scene. I do not know what car-go the ves-sel has on board, but I thinkthere is not much dan-ger of her be-ing wreck-ed, as she is notlike-ly to sail far out of her mas-ter's care and sight. [Illustration] KIND-NESS TO THE POOR. What a plea-sure it is to see chil-dren with good and kind hearts. How the sweet lit-tle girl ap-pears to pi-ty the poor in-firm oldwo-man to whom she is giv-ing her pen-ny, and so does her broth-erwho has be-fore giv-en his share of re-lief. And their good ma-mastands look-ing on with de-light, as she may well do, at thecon-duct of her off-spring. If we did but re-flect on the com-fortswhich God al-lows us to en-joy, while so ma-ny poor crea-tures arein want and sick-ness and sor-row, we should al-ways be glad toshew our-selves grate-ful to him by help-ing those who are indis-tress. [Illustration] THE PET DOG. Stand up, Pom-pey! You are on-ly half a sol-di-er yet. You have gotyour gun in your hand, but we must put your hel-met on be-sides tomake you com-plete. Poor Pom-pey! he is as peace-ful and quiet as alamb, and willing to do a-ny thing that he can which he is told todo. The chil-dren round him seem kind and fond of him, and I trustthey will not keep him stand-ing long, be-cause, though it maya-muse them to see him play a trick or two, this pos-ture is noteasy to him. [Illustration] THE ROCK-ING HORSE. This is a fa-mous dash-ing steed, and he ap-pears to have a ve-rysmart, ac-tive young ri-der. He has a firm and grace-ful seat, andhas his reins well in hand. He rides too with a great deal ofcou-rage, al-though we must ad-mit that his charg-er is not like-lyto swerve from the course which he wish-es him to keep, nor, thoughgo-ing at full gal-lop, is there any dan-ger of his be-ing thrownor run a-way with by the do-cile crea-ture on which he ismount-ed. [Illustration] THE POOR BLACK. In some parts of the world, where the sun is ve-ry hot, the skinsof the peo-ple, in-stead of be-ing white, like ours, are quiteblack; these folks are call-ed ne-groes. Some wick-ed men take themfrom their homes, and make them slaves and ill-treat them; andma-ny sil-ly chil-dren are a-fraid of them, be-cause they seemugly. I am glad to see that our young friends have been taughtbet-ter. They are look-ing with pi-ty at the poor black man, andthe lit-tle one is giv-ing him some re-lief. They know that Godmade all men of all col-ours, and that we are all e-qual be-forehim. [Illustration] THE NEW SHOES. Yes, baby is smart in-deed now. How proud she is of her new shoes, and how ea-ger she is to put out her lit-tle feet to shew them toher bro-ther and sis-ter, who seem scarce-ly less pleas-ed thanher-self. Her ma-ma too looks with de-light up-on the plea-sure herba-by feels, and for-gets all the trou-ble she her-self has had. Ido not know how chil-dren can be grate-ful e-nough to their kindparents who thus pro-vide for all their wants and plea-sures intheir help-less age. [Illustration] THE BRO-KEN DOLL. Here is a sad piece of mis-chief, and, if I am right in my guess, Mad-am Puss, by the man-ner in which she is scud-ding out of theroom is the au-thor of it. I sus-pect that, while the doll wasly-ing upon the stool, the cat be-gan to play with its longclothes, till she pull-ed it down on the floor, where it got brokenas we see. Care might have spar-ed this loss. If the lit-tle girl, be-fore go-ing to her mu-sic, had put the doll in a high place outof puss's reach, all would have been safe. [Illustration] CLE-VER CHARLES AND STEA-DY JANE. This is a sight worth look-ing at. No one i-dle but all mak-ingsome good use of their time. Ma-ma is sett-ing a good pat-tern. Sheis bu-sy in read-ing while lit-tle Jane is work-ing close-ly at herneedle, and her el-der bro-ther Charles is tak-ing on the Globe themea-sure of the dis-tance be-tween two pla-ces. Their ma-ma mustfeel much plea-sure in see-ing her chil-dren em-ploy them-selves sowell, and af-ter their work is o-ver, they will en-joy their play, when they go to it, more than la-zy folks can ever do. [Illustration] THE MORN-ING LES-SON. We need not ask wheth-er these two chil-dren have learn-ed theirmorn-ing les-son as they ought. Their own smil-ing fa-ces, and thepleas-ed looks of their pa-pa are quite e-nough to tell us thatthey are go-ing through their la-bours in a pro-per man-ner, andnot like some lit-tle folks that stop, and blun-der, and stam-mer, and are al-ways want-ing to be told. Their pa-pa will I dare sayre-ward them with his praise, and, ve-ry like-ly, by tak-ing themout with him. DARTON AND SON'S CHILDREN'S BOOKS. _One Shilling Each. _ Aviary (the), or an Agreeable Visit.
