LILY'S SCRAP-BOOK.
Now, then, Lily darling, let us begin to paste the pictures into your Scrap-Book; we have plenty left from the Nursery Screen. What shall we begin with ? Look here ! let us take this pretty picture of a dear little girl. She is something like my
D
I0 77/6- Gifsy.
Lily, I declare. She has been gathering wild flowers, you see, and is carrying them home in her little apron.
Now, dear children, you must all help. Make haste and find more pictures ; there are plenty in the drawer. What does Lily hand me next ? Oh !
this is a poor gipsy woman carrying her tiny baby on her back. She is just like that one who came to the garden gate the other day, and wanted to tell us all our fortunes. I daresay she has wandered many a weary mile with her precious little bundle on her back. Her husband and some more chil- dren are there, sitting round the fire, watching the boiling of the pot. And, I declare, I see a nice old donkey, too, in the distance.
Caught. 1 1
This is a magpie, who has been hung up in his cage, outside some house ; and you see a hawk
has come to peck at the poor prisoner, or perhaps has been stealing his food. The magpie has caught him by the claw, and seems to hold him tight too. I think it serves him right
The Fireman.
Look at this fireman in the flame and smoke ! That is his son holding up the hose for him, and learning to be brave like his father.
A Grebe. 13
Yes, Johnny dear, this is, as you say, a very curious looking bird. It is called a Grebe. What odd little black tufts it has sticking up on its head, and how strange that black ring looks round its neck ! Its breast is silvery white, with a little tint
of cinnamon coiour here and there; and this part of the bird is often used for trimming ladies' mantles, in the place of fur. You see by its feet that it is a species of duck ; and it builds its nest among reeds in shallow water, twisting the reeds into the nest to support it
!4 A Tourist.
Now, Johnny, see if you can find something funny to come next : we've not had anything to make us laugh yet. Yes, these two pictures are funny, certainly. There is the same man and boy in each. Paste them next to each other in the book. And I suppose I must try to make up a little story for them. I think that gentleman
dressed in a plaid suit looks like an English tourist ; and, judging by the wooden shoes of the boy, I should say the scene must be in France. The gentleman has had that suit of clothes made on purpose to wear during his summer holiday abroad ; and the hat matches the clothes, which is a very neat idea. By way of practising his French, he is talking to that little peasant boy, who has the care of the ducks and geese for some farmer. The man and boy are sitting side by side, and
A Mischance. 15
staring as if each thought the other rather a ridiculous figure. There is a stream close by, and the boy shows the English gentleman a little wooden bridge, close to a mill. When he is on the bridge, the Englishman stops, and teans upon the railing, while he watches some ducks in the water. The railing gives way. and down he comes,
souse, into the water himself, frightening the ducks nearly to death, besides causing great alarm to a man who is standing by, and to the little boy who is watching him from the bank of the stream. Indeed, the boy is so astonished and alarmed that he jumps up, as you see, right out of his wooden shoes. The water is shallow, and the Englishman is not drowned. He soon scrambles out, and the good people of the mill let him warm himself at their fire; but we may suppose he caught a bad cold.
i6
The Music Lesson.
How attentive these two little girls are to their music lesson ! And I can see that they play well,
too. I am as sure of it as if I could hear them That must be either their mamma or the gover' ness who stands behind them, and she seems well satisfied with her pupils.
Bed-fellows. 1 7
. Dear little boy! how nicely he has gone to sleep with his new toy-horse cuddled up to him so close. Now, I wonder whom that little boy reminds me of! Can you guess, Johnny? I think I know some one who is very fond of taking his tcys into
bed with him, even when they are hard, and have awkward corners, like the horse in the picture ! I fancy such toys may be uncomfortable bedfellows, if you happen to roll over them in the night ; but, no doubt, it is a pleasure, on opening your eyes the first thing in the morning, to find the pretty new toy there, close to you, that you have just been dreaming about.
1 8 Breakfast.
Dear me ! this is dreadful. A tiny duckling gobbled up by that great ostrich ! And see ! the
mother duck, in her despair, attacks the monster. But let us turn to something more cheerful.
Ostriches. 19
Look ! this is another picture of ostriches ; but here they are in their natural wi d state, and in their native country, where there are no poor little ducklings for them to gobble up. I like them better here. Those pyramids you see in the dis- cance show that the country in the picture is in-
tended for Egypt. In that part of the world are great plains of sand where the ostriches run about; for you must know that their wings are too small to raise them from the ground ; but, to make amends, they can run as fast as a horse with their long legs. You may see some ostriches at the Zoological Gardens.
2O The Village Fiddler.
Here we have a fiddler playing away merrily. He is sitting on a table with his jug and glass beside him, and enters so thoroughly into the spirit of his music, that you see his own feet are dancing a jig while his hands hold the fiddle and bow. These fiddlers used to be thought a great deal of in country villages, years ago. They were
welcome everywhere ; and were present at all the harvest-homes, and weddings, and out-of-door dances, and merry-makings, that, in the good old times, were held in country places. Things have much changed in England of late years, but in Ireland the strolling fiddler is still in great request. He carries about the latest gossip from place to place, and is often as famous for his fun and wit as for his fiddling.
Kiss • in - the- Ring.
21
The summer merry-makings in country villages at the present day, do not often amount to any- thing more important than a feast given to the children of the village school ; and that is just what is represented in this picture. The children
have had a treat of tea and plum-cake, and now are having games upon the village green. The game they are playing is called " Kiss-in-the- Ring." They form a ring by taking hold of hands, while two of them run in and out, one trying to catch the other, under the uplifted arms, the pur- suer following in the exact footsteps of the other.
22
Returning Home,
This young man has been away from home, seeking his fortune in the world. He is now re-
turning to his native village, which he just catches the first glimpse of, down in the valley, as he comes across the mountains. How his face lightens up, while he waves his hat with joy !
Boy and Raven. 23
Here is a picture which will just fit in to fill up this page. A good little boy has come to feed his pet raven. Mr. Raven has been let out of his cage, and has perched himself just opposite his little master, with his beak wide open, ready for his
breakfast. Does he not look eager and greeoy for his food ? I can fancy him croaking in an angry voice. The little boy holds up his finger to the raven, and is giving him a lecture upon good manners at his meals ; saying : " Now just have a little patience, and don't appear so greedy."
24 Calves.
Yes, Cissy, my darling, I tnink this pretty picture of two dear little calves will do nicely here. They are very like our own two pretty little Alderney calves out in the field there, Ruby and Diamond. Dear little gentle things ! You would hardly sup- pose that they will one day grow into such sedate, serious-looking creatures as their mothers are. Do
t
you know, dears, when I was a little girl, I once had a pet calf, that knew me quite well, and followed me about, and liked being stroked and patted, just as a dog or a horse does. Primrose was the name I gave her, I remember, because the first day I saw the little creature I also found the first primrose of the year.
Here is the picture which must come next : you set- it is a picture of a yoke of oxen. Fancy the
Oxen* 25
t\vo happy, careless little calves, we have just been looking at, ever turning into these hard-working, steady oxen, with that great yoke upon their necks, and those rings in their noses. In England we do not use oxen much in this way now, though they may still be seen in some parts drawing the plough ; but, in many countries on the Continent,
they are not only used in farm labour, but for drawing carts when much speed is not required. In India, bullocks are used very generally, and particularly for drawing a kind of carriage in which you can lie down, called a gharry or bandy. But the bullocks of India are rather different from those of Europe : they have a hump between the shoulders, and, besides, they are much more active.
C
26 What can it be?
Ha ' ha ! ha ! This hunter has hit upon an original plan for attracting those antelopes. A man
the wrong end upwards, no longer looks like one ; and those silly creatures are evidently curious to know what it is they see. Once within gunshot, they will find out the truth to their cost.
A Lion. 27
Johnny brings me a picture of a great lion. I sincerely hope he is not roaming about anywhere near our friend in the last picture, who has turned himself upside down in order to have a shot at the poor antelopes. If the lion once caught sight of the gentleman, no matter which end might be upper- most, it would be the worse for him. The hunter would be hunted pretty soon. You remember the
lions, my children, in the Zoological Gardens, do you not ? Well, you saw what strong, grand, noble creatures they are ; but also how terrible ! I should not like to live in a country where you could ever meet a lion face to face ; yet this may happen in many parts of Africa. Fancy a poor settler in some of our African colonies hearing a lion roaring outside at night, and knowing that the creature is prowling about, seeking what he may devour.
2 g A Tumtfe.
Now, this is a sad picture. It shows us a little boy having a bad tumble. You see he has been running much too fast down that steep hill. Hi; name is Johnny Fleetfoot, but his feet did not get on as fast as his body this time, for it has left them
quite behind. Indeed, his nose seems to have been anxious to get on before anything else, and has suffered in consequence : he has come down right upon it, I fear. Luckily he has a kind brother and sister, who were out with him, and they are help- ing him up. Boys soon get over such accidents, and so, I hope, will Johnny Fleetfoot.
, My Nose!
29
Well, here's something very curious. Can this be the old woman in the nursery song who sang, " Dilly, dilly, duckling, come and be killed ?" She
looks as if she had come down to the pond to catch a duck for her dinner, and the duck, instead, is thinking about having some dinner himself. The duck certainly seems tq be having the best of it as yet
3o The Engine-Driver.
The engine-drivers on our railways are rough and weather-beaten figures, like that in the picture. The life is a hard one : on, on they go at the rate of forty or fifty miles an hour in all weather, through cutting wind, or rain, or driving snow. But whatever his appearance, the engine-driver is a fine fellow. He has — that is, at least, if he is fit
for his post — some great qualities. His own safety, and that of all who travel in the train, depend upon his care, his watchfulness, and presence of mind It is for him to slacken speed, or hasten on, as he thinks best : it is for him to watch the signals as the train advances, to read the signs of safety or of danger. And we may imagine how anxious he must sometimes be when he can see nothing on account of fog or driving snow.
A Fairy, 3:
Oh, what have we here, Lily dear ? A beautiful rairy, I declare ; or, at least, a beautiful girl dressed
up as one. I think she is acting in a drawing- room, and coming from behind a curtain to dance. It is a charming little picture.
32 Welcome Home.
This shows us the father of the family just come home from his day's work, or perhaps from a long
journey. The mother remains in the hut cooking the supper, while all the children rush out, so glad to see papa again. And not less glad than the children is the good old doggie.
On Guard. 33
Here is another nice doggie, making himself use- ful, and showing his affection for his master and mistress by taking care of the baby. Mamma is working somewhere in the field. She cannot leave baby at home, because she has no one to take
care of him : so while she works, she puts baby to sleep under a tree, and bids Tip guard him. There sits Tippy, the curly-tailed doggie, so quiet that the little birds in their nest above are not at all frightened, but chirp away quite happily.
Dog in the Manger.
34
This picture reminds us that doggies are not all nice. It represents the old fable of the dog in the manger. A dog once jumped into a manger which had been filled with hay for some oxen, and he barked at them whenever they came near him
to eat. He could not eat the hay himself, yet he prevented those from enjoying it who could have done so. Was he not spiteful and bad ? People are often compared to the dog in the manger when they are selfish and unkind as he was.
The Hermit. 3 5
This is a picture of an old hermit in his cell. You see he is reading his Bible, and has a skull beside him. There, too, is his rosary, with a cruci- fix attached, hanging near ; and he has an hour- glass also close at hand to remind him continually how short this life is in comparison with eternity. These heimits were men who retired from the
world, and shut themselves up in some hut or cave. There, living in solitude, they spent their days in praying, and fasting, and sometimes in scourging themselves, all under the idea that by such suffer- ing here they would merit heaven hereafter. There are no hermits nowadays, even in Roman Catholic countries, which is lucky, in my opinion ; for, while the poor men made their own lives miserable, they certainly did not promote the happiness of any- body.
36 Mule and Muleteer.
H ere, Lily, you have brought me a picture of a mule and muleteer. You see how carefully they are picking their way down that hill : the poor mule is heavily laden, and can scarcely steady himself. In Spain, and some other mountainous countries, mules are more used than horses or donkeys. The fact is, they are more sure-footed
than either Among the Pyrenees, and in other mountainous parts of Spain, where many of the roads are unfit for any kind of carriage, mules con- vey merchandise and packages of all kinds upon their backs Sometimes a whole string of them may be seen, one after another, carrying mer- chandise across the mountain passes. The muie- teer in the picture is a Spaniard, as we may see by his dress, and by the cigarette he is smoking.
A Fall.
37
But even mules, sure-footed as they are, cannot always be relied upon, as you see, my children, in
this terrible picture. Here it appears, though, as if part of the rock itself had given way, and mule- leader and mule-rider are both falling down the cruel mountain side.
3 8 A Winter's Day.
Why, what a merry party this is, out in the snow! These children are May, and Etta, and Tommy. May, you see, is pushing little Etta
along in a sort of sledge. Etta has mamma's muff; she is wrapped up warm and cosy, and is enjoying the fresh cold air. These three children all like the cold weather, and think nothing would be nicer
A Laplander. 39
than to live far away up somewhere in the north. But they do not know what real cold weather is, and would not like it so much if they always had it, I can tell them. Here Cissy has just found me a picture of a Laplander, who lives in a country where it is terribly cold, and where, during nearly half the year, they never see the sun. You ask if
the Laplanders are happy. Well, I daresay they are happy in their way ; but I should think their ideas of happiness do not extend to much beyond keeping themselves warm, and getting enough to eat. Still, our friend in the picture looks very com- fortable, wrapped up in his warm coat of fur, and with that cap drawn down over his ears, sliding along on his snow-shoes.
4O Riding a Reindeer.
Why, Johnny brings me another wintry- looking picture ; and the scene must I think be laid in Lapland too, for here we have a little girl riding on a reindeer. In Lapland, I must tell you, they use reindeer to draw their sledges about, just as
we use horses jto draw our carriages. This kind of deer is as strong, and almost as big, as a horse ; but I never heard or read of one being used to ride upon, even by a man, much more a little girl I fancy the picture must be meant to illustrate a story, not to show anything that really happened
Out with the Hounds. 4 1
This monkey was fond of jumping on to horses' backs, so one day his master dressed him up, and strapping him on to an old hunter, sent him after
the hounds. Poor monkey! Away he went, and people wondered who the tiny gentleman could be that rode so fast.

Little merry Mabel is going in to say " Good morning " to dear mamma, who has a headache,
and is breakfasting in bed. Mabel carries her doll with her, and intends dolly to have a kiss from mamma too, after she has had one herself.
In forested A dvice.
43
This is a picture of the Fox who had lost his tail. According to the fable, his tail had been cut off in a trap ; and finding himself conspicuous and rather ridiculous without one, he assembled a good many foxes together, and made them an
eloquent speech. He described the immense advantage and comfort he derived from being with- out a great heavy bush to drag about behind him, and advised them to cut off all their tails. But a cunning old fox replied, " You only give us this" advice because you have lost your own."
44 Babys Bath.
Nurse is washing baby-boy, and he doesn't seem quite to like it. He has half a mind to cry, but nurse keeps chattering away all the time, and con- trives to amuse him. As she dabs his face with the sponge, she says : " Tell me, Mr. Sponge, is the
little rosy cheek quite clean ? " Then she pretends the sponge is speaking, and says in another voice "Yes, nurse, the cheeks are clean now, but the pretty ears want me to wash them a little more.': Upon which she sets to work at the ears, and so on. When it comes to the drying, she holds a con- versation with the towels, which at last declare :
Dressing. 45
" Now we've done our work well ; baby-boy is nice and dry, and ready to have his pretty clothes put on." Then on goes, first of all, the little flannel jersey, and that makes a few remarks. If it does not seem to come on easily, it expresses an opinion that baby-boy has grown fatter during the night.
The little socks and the shoes have a xvord to say also, and as for the dress it makes quite a long speech. Comb and brush smooth out the tangled curls, and say how pretty they are all the time, At last the dressing is all got through, and there has been no crying at all. Do you remember the time, Johnny, not very long ago, when nurse used to manage you in that way while you were dressed ?
Spa 1 ') 'ow -hawk.
: „ Here we have a Sparrow-hawk ; not an uncom- mon bird in England. It may often be seen high »n the air, remaining poised for several minutes in

47
one spot : then it suddenly darts down to seize some bird or little field-mouse.
This is a very pretty picture. It is early summer and here we have a farmer's family watching the
swallows coming back, after their long winter's absence, to the nest they built last year. Mamma and the children are all equally glad, I think, to see the pretty birds again ; they welcome them like old friends, and would not hurt or disturb them for the vvorld.
48 The Parting.
See how fond this soldier is of his little girl ! Perhaps he is going away, and is wishing her good- bye. He may even be going to fight, and may be thinking, as he tosses her up in the air, that per- haps it is the last time he will ever see her dear
little face, or hear her sweet merry laugh. She has no thought of the future, at all events : even if papa tells her that he may be away a long time, she hardly understands the difference be- tween that and his coming back to-morrow* Happy childhood !
A Handsome Family. 49
This picture represents the Duck family: Mr. and Mrs. Duck, two daughters and two sons; a charming family, and well to do in the world, I assure you. See how upright they hold them- selves, and how elegantly they are dressed ! Though
you and I may not think a duck face pretty, they are perfectly satisfied with their own looks. The children playing about on the village green feel quite abashed at the thought of their raggedness, and their own merriment, as they watch the Duck family pompously and solemnly walking past.
50 Will He Escape.
Here is a picture which shows what dangers hunters meet with, who go out in great forests,
shooting wild animals. They have just shot a deer, and when the boy, who serves as guide, runs up to see if it is dead, he is attacked by a wolf. I hope the hunters are in time to save his life.
The Wild Boar. 51
This is another picture of hunting wild beasts. The scene must be, I think, in some mountainous
part of Italy or Spain, where wild boars are still to be found. They are strong and very savage beasts. If that hunter misses, or only wounds the boar, it will attack him furiously.
5 2 Peter Perkins .
This is little Peter Perkins come out to feed the chickens. They are his particular charge, and every morning — tiny boy as he is — he remembers to trot off to cooky to get the grain for the fowls before he has his own breakfast. Then how the chickens know his little footsteps ! and how they come with
hops, skips, jumps, and flutters, to his feet ! They are not a bit afraid of him, as you can see in the picture. The little bantam cock Redcap, is indeed too fearless sometimes ; for, as the little boy holds the grain in his hand, master Redcap bobs his head forward, and actually pecks the grain out of the little hand, now and then taking a bit of the soft pink flesh besides.
A Puzzling Question.
53
" Grandmamma dear, how are clocks made ? " says the little boy in the picture. Grandmamma opens the clock, and shows the pendulum wagging
from side to side. Then she tries to explain all about it, but finds it difficult ; and ends by telling him he is too little and too young to understand it yet.
54
Man in Armour.
Ah, Johnny dear, so you bring me a picture of a man in armour. I daresay you know— for you have seen the armour in the tower — that in old times men covered themselves up in steel to go to
battle. As soon as fire-arms were used, the 'armour had to be made so thick to resist bullets, that men could no longer bear the weight of an entire suit, and wore only so much as you see in the picture. , He is a soldier of about the time of Queen Eliza- beth, and carries an arquebus — the earliest kind of musket.
Soldier of the Last Century. 55
This is a soldier too, though a very different sort of figure. You see the coats of mail have been cast aside altogether now ; this gentleman wears merely a fine coat, coloured red, a long waistcoat,
breeches and stockings, and a belt to which is attached a sword. His hair is curled and powdered, and instead of a helmet, like our friend that we have just pasted into the book, he has a jaunty three-cornered cocked hat, set rather on one side. This is a soldier of the time of George the Second.
56 Kites.
This looks like a fine breezy hill with the wind- mill on it, and I should say a famous place for flying kites. The picture is by a German artist,
and I daresay kites in Germany are made like these, for they are not quite like English kites. I suppose that is a German cap too that the boy on the left-hand side has on.
YOILIIO- Lambs to Sell.
57
Poor old man ! he is holding up one of his toy lambs to that little girl, and hopes she will ask her mamma to buy it. They are a very simple poor sort of toy, made by himself ; only cut out of fire-wood, with some wool gummed over them. He makes
them in his miserable London lodging ; then wanders out into the suburbs, where little villas with gardens are dotted about, and persuades the children to buy. Thus he earns a few pennies ; while he likes to see the children's faces, and breathe the fresh air.
E
-58
Tommy TouchalL
I think my young friend in the picture will hesi- tate another time before he meddles with carpen- ters' tools. This is Tommy TouchalL He is the plague of his relations ; always doing mischief, and meddling with everything. Sometimes he amuses
himself by turning his mother's work basket upside down, and spoiling or losing the contents ; some- times he scatters his father's papers in the same way. One day some carpenters were in the house, when he got hold of their tools, and cut his hand; as you see.
An Explosion. 59
This, as you may suppose, is Tommy Touchall again. You would think the pain he felt when he cut his fingers would have cured him of touching things he did not know how to use. But he soon forgot the lesson, and here he is, as you see in the
picture, blowing out the gas without turning it off. The consequence was that the room became- filled with gas, and some one going in with a light, there was a terrible explosion, which did a great deal of damage, though by good luck no; one was seriously hurt.
6o
A Baboon.
You may well laugh, children : this is a queer fellow. It is a baboon, called a Gelada ; a native
of Africa. Is he not frightful and ridiculous ? and yet how sad-looking !
Another Baboon.
61
Well, Johnny, you have really; found a still uglier monkey. See how he shows his teeth. It is a fero-
cious baboon, called a Mandrill, and is remarkable for a blue patch on each cheek, and a red muzzle.
62 Meddling Children.
Lily has managed to find a picture which shows us two little people very like herself and my Johnny. You see these little people are inclined to meddle with things that they have no business
to touch. There comes the nurse, and just look at her face ! isn't she angry ? I must say, my own opinion is that such little children should not have been left alone in the room at all, for fear they should: hurt themselves, as well as do mischief.
Strange Figures. 63
This is certainly a funny picture, and as puzzling as it is droll. Of all the queer figures, queer faces, and queer hats I ever saw, these
are about the most curious. The fishing-rods in the men's hands do not help us to understand them. I think, my darlings, you must fancy any meaning you can for the picture : I can make nothing of it.
64
Paul Pickle.
Dear me, dear me ! here's poor little Paul Pickle having a good scolding from his grandpapa ! What do you think he has been about ? Why, I am sorry to say, he put a tiny frog into grandpapa's
inkstand. When grandpapa went to his writing- table, and settled himself, with all his papers before him, to go on with his learned treatise on the human mind, he had no sooner lifted the lid off the ink than out jumped the little frog. It was sopping with ink, and leapt first on to the midst of
Paul Pickle Punished. 65
the papers ; then into grandpapa's lap. ' Now grandpapa is a learned professor, and has a favour- ite theory that no well-regulated mind ever feels surprise. Nevertheless, he was surprised and startled. Recovering himself, he suspects, the
culprit, whom he- finds in the next room, and gives him a good scolding. Returning to his seat, he is trying to persuade himself that he had not been surprised at all, when he is startled by a terrible noiee just outside his door, and jumps up from his chair, It is Master Paul, occupied as we see him in the picture. Grandpapa comes out this time with uplifted cane instead of finger.
66
Mount St. Bernard.
This is one of the fine Mount St. Bernard dogs, which are kept at a monastery among the Alps.
They go out during snow-storms to look for travellers that may be lost. He has found a boy in the snow, and is carrying him to the monastery.
Lace Maker. 67
This is a picture, my darlings, of a poor hard- working creature ; yet this woman has something to make her happy. Her fingers move quicker and
quicker to make her pretty lace at the thought that she is earning food for her little child. He is all the world to her : her greatest care and greatest blessing.
68
The Little Musician.
This little boy, who in after life became a great musician, was very poor when young ; so to earn
money, he sometimes played his violin in the gardens of the Tuileries at Paris, where a crowd would collect to hear him.
rhe Conversation. 69
Here is a curious company of friends holding a conversation : a donkey, a hare, a snail, and a swallow. The donkey says : " Mine is a harder life than any of yours ; I get hard blows, and have to work and toil." The hare rejoins : " I would
change with you to-morrow ; I often have to run for my life, though I do no harm to anyone." Says the snail : " Life would be jolly enough, if you were only safe from being trodden upon. ' And the swallow chirps out : " Make the best of everything, and enjoy summer while it lasts."
7O Running for the Doctor.
This is a picture, dear children, of a poor little girl, whose baby-brother is taken ill with croup in
the night. She has no father, and mother cannot leave baby ; so little Mary runs off through the dark night and snow for the .doctor, and she soon brings him back with her.
Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe. 71
Now, Lily, darling, I certainly think this will be one of the best and funniest pictures in your scrap-book. I have not laughed so much at any as I have at this one. Poor old woman ! she must have had enough to do, I'm sure. Look at the poor little creatures fighting and
scrambling about in the shoe. Large as it is, it does not look as if it would hold them all. I am quite sure the old woman's arm must ache with all the whipping it has to give. Now, chil- dren, I have quite made up my mind that if ever I go to another fancy ball, I will go as the " Old Woman who lived in a Shoe." And you may be sure I shall carry a birch.
72 Father and Childr.en.*
Here is a picture of a labouring man taking a walk on Sunday accompanied by all his chil-
dren. His is a humble simple life, not free from cares ; and yet a happy one, for there is love in it.
Happiness.
73
Here is another picture of a poor cottager, who finds happiness in loving his children and being loved by them. He has just returned from his
work, and see how glad they are ! Father jumps baby up in his arms, and the little girl asks for a kiss, while the boy carries off his father's spade.
74
The Ass in the Lions Skin.
You have read ^Esop's fables, Cissy dear, and I daresay you remember the " Ass in the Lion's skin." This must be a picture of that silly donkey ; and I will tell Lily and Johnny what the fable is. There was an ass once who was very vain and ambitious : he got the skin of a lion, and putting
it on himself, was delighted to find* how he frightened all the animals he met with . in the forest. At last seeing a fox, he tried to frighten him also ; and thinking to make himself yet more terrible, began to bray. The fox, who had turned to run, stopped directly, and said : " You stupid donkey ! if you want to pass for a lion, you should not bray."
Hospitality. ~-
Oh ! what a miserably bitter night it is ; with snow falling fast ! That young man is a shepherd : He has just brought in his sheep for the night
and lighted his fire, when a poor old man makes his way to the door, half dead with cold. The* shepherd brings him to the fire, gives him food and a night's lodging. In the morning the old man goes upon his way blessing his kind host.
7 6 Dear Grandmamma.
These children have come to spend tlie day with grandmamma at her pretty cottage in the country* ., Such visits are a treat for them and. her. The
'" //// ////, , S//-,/,///////s- -S ////
children are pleased because she takes pains to amuse them, while she delights to hear their laugh- ter, and to see their bright young faces.
Dressing Up. 77
Grandmamma always has some new toys ready for the children, artd she is so good-natured that she lets them take her clothes out of her drawers to dress up in. Look how the baby is dressed up in the picture : he means himself to be a king, or perhaps a beadle, or a general, or somebody very grand. Upon his head he has a hood
lined with fur, which grandmamma puts over her own head in winter, if she goes out in the evening. Then he has a large spoon stuck in his belt for a sword, and grandmamma's stick in his hand for a sceptre. The other children are all bowing to him, you see. I think he must be meant for a King, or a Prince of Wales, at least.
78 Long-legged Plover.
What a funny long-legged bird you have brought me, Lily darling ! Does it not look like a bird walking upon stilts ? Indeed, it is sometimes called ihe Stilt, but the proper name of it is the Long-legged Plover. It is a very handsome bird,
being beautifully marked with white and glossy black. Although more rare than the common plover, it is met with in the same places — in marshes and on the banks of rivers. As you may imagine from the length of its legs, it can run at a famous pace.
Great Bustard.
79
Here we have another picture of a bird. The Great Bustard is not often met with now, though it used to be common. It is the largest of British birds. The plumage is brown and black, but the
peculiarity of the bird consists in its having a pouch in the forepart of the neck, which will con- tain several pints of water. The nest is always built on dry sandy downs, where water is scarce * hence the use of the pouch.
8o
Brother Tom.
It is summer, and the weather is very hot, so these good little girls have gone out into the garden to sit there and learn their lessons. They have placed themselves, as they think, in a nice quiet corner, against the paling in the shade of the trees,
and they little fancy that their brother Tom—that riotous boy, who is home for the holidays — is looking over the paling, watching them. He thinks how lucky he is that he has no lessons to do this hot weather, and he does not leave his sisters long in peace, I can tell you.
Plenty of Imagination.
Si
This is a picture of a little boy and girl playing up in mamma's bedroom. The little girl has put on mamma's bonnet hind part before, she has papa's bootjack on one arm for a baby, and a basket on
the other. She is pretending to be a poor woman just going out to market. The boy is playing at being a coachman : papa's boots are the horses, and they seem to want a deal of whipping, for he is laying on unmercifully with papa's riding whip.
82 A Village School.
Here we have a village school. See how the old schoolmaster stoops over his desk, with spectacles on his nose, and skull-cap on his head. Some o the boys are very sharp at their lessons, while some weary the poor old man by their stupidity till, as he said one day, they almost made him stupid in trying to teach them. The genius of the school,
however, is a boy who has a talent for drawing He always carries about a piece of charcoal in his pocket ; and many a time has he been punished for drawing on the walls of the schoolroom. In fact he cannot resist a whitewashed wall. One da this boy had the impudence to draw a caricature of an old man, a bell-ringer of the village church, in the belfry of the church itself. There you see him in the picture drawing away, and evidently
A Genius for Art. 83
pleased with his own work. The old man went to the rector to complain, who was very angry ; but
of course went to see the caricature, and came away laughing.
84 Ride a Cock Horse.
Little Milly and her papa are having a game be- fore nurse fetches her to go to bed. Every evening down comes Milly before papa's late dinner, and after Ke has told her two or three stories, she has a ride upon his knee. He gets quite out of breath, and his little girl too, before the ride is over ; but
it is a pretty sight to see papa and Milly playing together. She sings :
Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross, To see an old lady get on a white horse. Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes ; She shall have music wherever she goes.
Milly's hair flies out as she rides, and her little face is all rosy and dimpled. At last comes aknock at the door ; and nurse appears for Miss Milly to go to Bedfordshire.
Saved from ihe Snow.
85.
We had a picture before of one of these St.Bernard dogs saving a little boy from the snow. Here we
have two of them, out in a terrible storm, scraping away the snow from a poor traveller, who has been buried in it.
86
Happy Days.
Look at these cottage children playing by a pond! How happy they appear ! That little bit of wood with a paper sail seems an excellent toy-boat to
them who have never had a better, and the boys find it fun to wad-e into the -water; Meanwhile the girls take care of baby, and Pincher, the steady old doggie, looks after them all.
Woodcutters. 87
This is also a scene of country life. Here are some woodcutters resting from their work, while some of the trees they have felled are being drawn away by a team of fine strong horses. The beautiful trees that have so often given shade in
summer, are going to be useful in other ways. Some will be cut into logs to make bright fires. Some will go to build ships, some houses, but never to make anything more beautiful than the grand trees themselves were, as they stood waving in the wind.
88
A Nice Little Girl.
How cleverly this dear little girl is doing up her hair in nice neat plaits ! She is kind and good too, I am sure, because she is very fond
of flowers and birds. Look how tame the dear little dicky is, perched there upon her looking- glass, singing his morning song to her while she dresses !
Playing Cricket. 89
Yes, Johnny, this is cricket, as you say ; and these boys seem to be having a famous game. The ground is nice and smooth, the weather fine, they have their tent pitched, and the players are all in proper cricketing dress. It is a merry scene. The batsmen stand ready to send the
ball flying through the air ; and then how they will start off running backwards and forwards, and count ever so many runs ! A fine old English game, children, is this same game of Cricket. I trust my little Johnny will some day- be a good cricketer. Indeed, I hope he will be good at all sorts of exercises, and grow up a fine strong man.
go Telling a Falsehood,
I am afraid this boy has been very naughty, for look how angry his mamma is with him ! I think I can tell what has happened. You see that broken vase upon the ground ? Well, I suspect he has knocked it off the table with his ball, and
then has denied it, and said the dog had knocked it down. But his mamma sees through it all ; she would have forgiven him easily for break- ing the vase, but now she is seriously angry, and grieved too, to find that he has told her a false- hood.
Love One Another. 91
Here we have another mamma who is displeased with her children, but not so seriously, I think, as the poor mother in the last picture. I fancy that this little boy and girl have been quarrelling, and mamma calls them to her, and gives them both a
lecture, telling them that such discord in a family destroys all happiness, and that it arises from selfishness in each of them. Gently and kindly she speaks ; but I am sure she feels very sad to think that her little ones, who might be so happy, make their own misery by quarrelling.
92 A Race-Course.
What is this you bring me, Johnny dear ? Oh, I see; this is a race-course. The course is being cleared, for the horses are going to start ; and this man rides along to give notice. There is a stupid
old cow just running across the ground : some dogs, too, have to be whipped out of the way. But though all is noise and confusion now, in another minute the course will be cleared for the
race.
Hunting.
93
How fond you are of horses, Johnny ! This is a hunting scene you bring me now. The hounds and hunters have evidently lost their fox, and this gentleman is asking a countryman if he has seen
it. While he speaks, Mr. Foxy himself comes stealing out from the brushwood close to them. But the hounds are not near, nor on the scent, so I think poor Foxy v.ill probably manage to escape.
94
Good Night.
This is little Tommy Titmouse coming in to say " Good night " to papa and mamma. It is almost his first attempt at walking ; and partly by sup-
porting himself on dear old Carlo's nose, and partly by the help of nurse, he gets on very well, you see.
Over the Stepping- Stones. 95
Look at Willie Danvers bounding along over the stepping-stones ! To think that once he could walk no better than little Tommy Titmouse ! He
has stopped on his way from school to pick some sweet wild flowers for his mother, who is ill : now he is running home as fast as he can.
96 A Handsome Young Couple.
Cissy dear, this is a very pretty picture you have chosen. Here is a handsome young 'couple, dressed as people used to dress a hundred years ago, walking arm-in-arm upon a terrace. What shall we suppose them to be ? Shall they be
r •<•
people of the present day dressed up in fancy dresses ? That will hardly do ; for they are evi- dently not at a fancy ball. Let us suppose them to be two nice little people, who lived long ago, and walked and talked together in those days as they might now. We will suppose, too, if you like, that they were going to be married ; and let us hope that they were happy.
L ong and L cart,. 9 7
Here's a queer-looking figure: how very long and thin ! I wonder if he ever eats any dinner ! But we ought not to laugh at a poor man who
looks as if he were starving. Is he a poet who can't sell his rhymes ; or a schoolmaster who has no pupils, I wonder ? I cannot make him out for certain, but paste him into the book all the same.
98 Patient Elfie.
Oh, I have something funny to tell you about this sketch. It is a portrait of Elfie, our old Skye terrier, which papa made a long time ago. Elfie was ordered to sit up and beg, as you see him doing in the sketch, and was scolded once or twice
for moving. When papa had finished, we all went to luncheon, forgetting poor dear old Elfie. An hour afterwards we came back into the drawing- room, and there was Elfie, in exactly the same position, looking very miserable, but still waiting for permission to get down. Dear old doggie !
Musical Shepherds.
99
You have managed to find a very nice picture for your scrap-book, Lily dear : two little shepherd- boys playing away on their pipes, while they
watch the sheep ! Their hats are decked with wild flowers ; the lark sings in the sky, joining the con- cert ; the sheep turn round to listen ; and boys, birds, and sheep are all merry together.
IOO
A Graceful Croquet Player.
This is a lady who thinks her figure shows to advantage in the game of croquet. She is called
Aunt Barbara by her nephews and nieces, who laugh at her among themselves ; but they don't laugh at her to her face, for she is a rich old maid. The youngest of her nieces, little Barbara, her
101
She Loses Her Temper.
godchild, did tell her once she was too fat to play at croquet. The old lady, though very good-
natured generally, is sudden in wrath, and, but for the interference of Sambo, the black footman, little Barbara would have felt the weight of her aunt's fat hand.
102
A Contrast.
This picture shows us one of those contrasts •which, when seen in real life, are very, very sad to witness. I do not know the story of the picture, but I should think the scene is meant for Ireland. We have the great house and the hovel side by
side. A richly-dressed little child is riding his fat pony, with an overfed and pampered spaniel wad- dling beside him. On the other side of a little stream we see childhood also; but childhood shorn of its beauty, gaiety, and grace, by the sufferings of extreme poverty. It is a terrible difference.
Getting the Hounds Together. 103
Here is another hunting scene for you, Johnny. Here the fox has been lost ; or, perhaps, they have not found in this covert, and are going to try some-
where else. The huntsman is blowing his horn, to get the hounds together, while the whipper-in flogs the stragglers who are lingering behind. Look how eager the horses appear ! They are just as eager as the men are for the sport to begin.
1 04 Pull of Misckief.
How can this good boy and girl learn their lessons with that tiresome little brat of a brother in the room ? He is too young to learn lessons himself, and wants the others to be always playing
with him. Look what he is doing now. He has put on his big brother's cap, strapped his knapsack on to his own shoulders, taken the slate and books off the table, and pretends he is going off to school. The brother and sister laugh heartily, but how can they learn their lessons ?
Saying Good-bye.
105
This lady must be going away on a journey. She is just giving the children into nurse's charge
before she says good-bye to their grandpapa. Her last words to her children are : " My darlings, pray be good, and always love each other."
H
io'6l Harkdway and Columbine.
So Johnny has found the -pretty sketch tliat papa made long ago of poor, old* Hark away, -hist favourite hunter, and Columbine, the old hound he petted so much. Ah ! dear children, both these faithful creatures died before you were born ; but you know the large picture in the dining-room — the
full length of Harkaway — that dear papa painted ? Well, this sketch is a study of the heads of Hark- away and Columbine, made before the picture was begun. The horse was old when I married your papa : he was past work, and used to live quite an idle Hfe. He passed his days out in the large field, and at night was put into a comfortable shed with plenty of nice warm straw. But, although he had become Quite feeble, with bent knees and shaky
Past Work:
107
legs, I believe he would 'still have followed the hounds, if he had been allowed. There is another sketch somewhere, which papa made of Harkaway when he was quite old. Ah, here it is ! This is
just as papa saw him one day, when ,the hounds and huntsmen were passing through the next field. He was looking over the gate, trembling all over with excitement ; his eyes sparkling, and nostrils distended.
io8
Little Mary.
This is little Mary Manly; a good little girl. Her father works hard in the fields, while her
mother takes care of the cottage. Mary helps mother as much as she can ; she wishes she were big and strong enough to help in washing.
Washing-up.
109
But we see here that Mary is of use to her mo tlier sometimes ; and then she feels quite happy.
They are washing up the things together after dinner : she works away like a little woman, dry- ing the plates as mother takes them from the water.
(I 10
Three Little. Sparrows.
. .Next -comes a picture of three little- sparrows perched upon a branch. . .1 will; tell you what they remind me of. Do you remember, when we used to hr.ng out the canary in the garden last summer,
how the sparrows always collected about him. How they pecked at his sugar, and watercress, and even got at his seed sometimes ! And when they perched upon his cage, how angry Topaz was, and how he pecked at their claws! If anyone .went by, they only retreated to the nearest branches, and perched there like those in the picture.
Pretty Poll.
in
My Lily brings me another bird picture. -This represents a great blue and yellow macaw, with a
loud harsh voice, and splendid plumage., . Macaws are very large parrots,, and several are to be seen at the Zoological Gardens, where they almost deafen you with their noise.
1 1 2 After a Storm.
Here has been a dreadful storm : some of the plants are blown down, and the garden walk is like a stream of water. It is in France, and these two
boys have borrowed some wooden shoes, such as the peasants wear, that they may have the fun of .running about in all the wet. As they run, the wooden shoes fly off, for they are much too big.
At the Pump. n^
These little girls have come to get water for their thirsty flowers, for each has a little garden of
her own. One vvprksiiard at the pump, while the other holds the cans.
If4 A Sociable Tea-Party.
Here we have a pleasant sociable tea-party. These little people are Rosy and Maude Drum- mond, but they call themselves just now Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith. They meet at tea at Miss Penelope Prim's ; that lady being the big doll,
seated on the easy chair in the middle. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones have each brought a child, and the conversation between them is often interrupted by the slaps and shakes they have to give their little ones, who, I grieve to say, bleed a great deal of sawdust. Miss Penelope all the time sits smiling there, without either joining in the conversation, or partaking of tea.
Mrs. Tabby skin. . 115
This is a picture of Mrs. Tabbyskin. See how gentle and sweet-tempered she seems, seated on
the edge of that great stone vase ! She is purring away, and ready to play with anybody. Gentle Mrs. Tabbyskin, who could help liking- you !
n6
Cruel Cat.
Oh, Mrs. Tabbyskin, Llrs. Tabbyskin ! who could like you now ? How different you seemed in the last picture. Cruel cat, to kill that dear little
bird ! The poor thing is dead now, so it can no longer feel your sharp teeth and claws ; and I suppose you will set to work to eat it. But we shall no longer cafe to play with you, nor think you good and gentle.
Good-bye, Mrs. Tabby skin. 1 1 7
Really, Mrs. Tabbyskin, you do not improve upon more intimate acquaintance. Although you are now attacking one of your own size and kind, which is better than killing a dear little bird, still
you look so ugly and vicious, with your glaring eyes, flattened ears, and open mouth, that I for one could never pet you again. The pretty white cat does not look half so savage. Good-bye, Mrs. Tabbyskin, and we don't want to see you again.
n8
Baby in the. Basket.
This woman 'has been haymaking, as we may see by her rake/. She -has had • her baby out in the
field with her all day, and now she carries him home in a basket on her back. I think baby is enjoying his ride.
Jolly Tars: 119
My little Lily has! picked^ out a picture of a merry- party for her scrap-book. What a set of jolly tars to be sure ! I think they have just come on shore, and are having a friendly glass together, before they separate to go to their different homes. Perhaps they have been away for many, many
months, perhaps even for years, so you may think how glad these honest fellows must be to reach their native land again. Think, too, how eagerly their wives and children must be looking for them, after all these months of anxiety, when the poor women have quaked and trembled at every gale of wind. I hope our jolly tars will not sit long over their parting glass, but hurry home to their wives.
120 A queer -looking Thief.
Oh, look at this monkey ! How he hangs by his tail while he stretches out his arms to get the apples from the box below ! What a queer-
looking fellow he is ! You say you would like to have a monkey, Cissy ? I think, <lear, you would soon wish him away again.
Grandmamma Napping.
121
What good little children we have here to be sure ! They are Tommy and Jane Goodheaft, and are spending the day with grandmamma, who is very old, and cannot bear fatigue or noise.
They understand this, and give her as little trouble as possible. While Tommy is looking at a picture- book in her lap, she drops off into a comfortable nap. He still looks at his book, but takes care not to disturb her ; while little Janie, who is amusing herself with pictures too, is as quiet as a mouse.
i
122
A New BJ II- Dress.
This picture shows us a pretty little girl who is going to a Christmas party, but I am afraid she thinks too much about her dress. The night
before the party she cannot sleep for thinking of her dress, and gets up in the middle of the night to look at it in the wardrobe. I like her better m the next picture — for we will suppose this to be
Visiting the Sick.
123
the same little girl. Let us say that she is a country clergyman's daughter, and here she has
come to see a sick boy, the son of poor cottagers, .and has brought him from her mamma a basket full of nice nourishing things to eat.
1 24 The Hare and the Hound.
So, Lily, you have found another picture re- presenting one of ^Esop's fables : that of the Hare and the Hound. I will tell you the fable. Once upon a time a hound started a hare, and tried to
catch him ; but after running a long way, gave up the chase. A shepherd, who happened to be near when the hound stopped, laughed at him, saying : " The hare runs faster than you can." To which the hound replied : •" You do not see the difference between us : I was only running for a dinner, he for his life."
Playing in the Fields. 1 2 5
Well, Cissy darling, I think you have given me now one of the prettiest pictures we shall have in the scrap-book. Here you see are four dear little children playing in the fields. It is a bright summer's day, but the sun is just going down, so the little people may venture out with bare heads
Still there are butterflies about, one can tell, for the children have nets to catch them. True, we cannot see any butterflies, as you say, Johnny dear ; and I rather doubt if the children can. either. However, they seem happy and good skipping and dancing through the long grass and well taken care of, \ve may be sure, by their faithful doggie.
126 A Brave Good Dog.
This is a beautiful Newfoundland dog, and very much like our Neptune, whom you have heard of, children, though he died years ago. The great
exploit of Neptune's life was 'his saving that of a; tipsy soldier, who fell off the pier at Portsmouth. Papa sent Neptune in after him, and the brave, strong dog brought the man to shore.
Busy Little People. ' 127
See what busy little people we have here ! what are 'they about ? You think, Johnny, that they are having a doll's tea-party ? Silly little man ! where are the tea-things ? as Lily wisely asks. Well, Lily dear, give us your opinion on the subject. You think they are teaching lessons to their dolls ?
Johnny says : " Toopid, where are the books ? " True, Johnny, though not politely remarked. What do you say, Cissy? You think they are mending their dolls ? You are right, dear, and I will give you a rhyme I have heard :
See how good and clever also Children, when they like, can be ; Msnding dollies' clothes and bodies, Working hard, as you may see.
128
Our Last Picture.
But, dear, dear, what is this ! Why we have come to the end of our Scrap-book : we have only room for one little picture more. Well, we must find a pretty one that will fit in nicely. Ah ! I think my little Lily has found the very thing — a pretty little girl with a book open upon her knees \ One might almost fancy this picture was in- tended to represent our Lily herself looking at her Scrap-book.
