Price Sixpence*

It is evening; the
sun is setting, and
the shepherd, who
tends the flocks of
little Mary's Papa,
is, with his good lit-
tle dog, driving the

3

sheep to the fold,
where they will rest
in safety. That is
his cottage which
stands on the other
side of the road.

The tongs stood in the room
where Mary oft staid,

And the lantern gave light to
the hall where she play'd.

Ttie table was placed in the

corner quite snug,
And the milk for her breakfast

was put in the jug.

5

If you look on
the other side of
the leaf, you will
see the picture of

the park that little
Mary one day
passed through,
where she first
saw the deer.

7

Should you not
have liked to have
been with her, and
jumped and play-
ed on the lawn,
and in the shrub-
beries.

8

When little Mary was cold, 'twas

Mamma's desire.
That in this pretty stove should

be made a nice fire.

This bottle you see,

Holding water quite clear,
Is to wash Mary's hands,

Till they cleanly appear.

In little Mary's room were placed

near at hand,
This elegant snuffers, and sweet

pretty stand.

These plates you admire for being

so neat,
Held little Mary's pudding, her pie,

or her meat.

This is the rose
that hid the thorn
that pricked little
Mary's finger.

Little Mary was
eating her break-
fast when she saw
a Robin red-breast
standing on a rail,
at a little distance ;
she gathered up
the crumbs as fast

11

as she could, and
threw them out of
the window upon
the grave! walk.
As soon as the bird
observedthebread,
he jumped down
off the rail, and be-

12

gan picking up the
crumbs: but Mary,
eager to shew her
love to her lit-
tle visitor, threw
out more crumbs,
which frightened it
away.

This is the Cro-
cus that grew in
little Mary's gar-
den by the side of
the snow-drop and
primrose.

A traveller and his lit-
tle dog, one day, wanted
to get to the other side
of a river; but the man
was so very poor he could
not find money enough

15

to pay the boatman for
taking him over. Little
Mary, who was always
very good, seeing his dis-
tress, gave him all the
money she had in her

16

pocket, wished him a safe
journey, and went home
with a light heart, having
done a good action.
