A Letter to Mothers and Primary Teachers about Teaching Little Children to Sing.

Dear Friends :

We suppose that, like ourselves, you have felt the lack of a sufficient number of appropriate songs to teach to the little ones. Very few are to be found in any one book of Music, not enough to supply all that would be required in a class or in a home. An effort is made in the little book we now-offer you, to winnow from a large number of books, the brightest and best pieces adapted to young children. Our earnest hope is not only that a book may be in the hands of every primary teacher, but that each child also may own a copy, not for use in the class, but in the home. The opportunity for learning new pieces in the Sunday School, which, in Primary classes, must always be done by rote, is very limited. The mothers in the homes might greatly facilitate the work if they would un- dertake to teach their little ones the sentiments and words of songs indi- cated by the teacher. By this means the children would be better prepared to understand what they sing, than by the usual way. It is to be feared that parents and teachers do not sufficiently realize the confusion of ideas in the minds of children, resulting from a failure to understand what they sing. " Let me die in the harness-shop," a little boy was heard singing while about his play. "Where did you learn that?" asked the mother. "In Sunday School," was the reply. Upon inquiry, the mother found that he had been trying to sing " Let me die in the harness," which, rightly understood, would have aroused an ambition widely different from the sentiment he was heard to sing. Children should be taught to "sing with the spirit and with the understanding." In accomplishing this, some simple illustration, an object, perhaps, or a rough sketch on the blackboard, will frequently assist. By this means, the sentiment of the hymn to be learned will be impressed. For ex- ample, in teaching the song u When children give their hearts to God " {see page 23), let the teacher provide herself with a full-blown rose and a rose bud. By questioning, the children may be led to tell that the rose will soon fall to pieces, but that the bud will last some time, so that we can enjoy its sweetness much longer. Then the heart in childhood may be compared to

LETTER TO MOTHERS. Ill

the bud, and the heart In old age to the rose. God wants us to give Him our hearts. When shall we do it :— when they are like the bud or like the rose ? Surely while we are young, so that He may long have our love and service. Our little song tells us :

" When children give their hearts to God, "lis pleasing in His eyes; A flower when offered in the bud Is no vain sacrifice."

If before singing the second verse of Hymn on page 97, a bunch of violets is brought before the class, and their beauty and fragrance spoken of, the chil- dren will sing with great vigor, •■ Give, said the violet sweet."

Before teaching "Little Lights " (page 93), let rays to represent light com- ing from the sun be drawn on the blackboard, and the word u Jesus " placed in the center. Thus the children may be reminded of Jesus, the Light of the world. If Jesus, the Light of the world, shines upon our hearts, He will make us bright and shining. We shall become "Little lights." Let the children now tell of different things that are used to give light at night. They will probably name a candle. Let one then be shown or drawn on the black- board. Compare the candle with the sun, and lead the children to call it a " little light,'' and ask, Which may a little child be like, for Jesus? " Like a little candle shining in the night.''

In teaching "Jewels," (page 106) we may ask, "What do we call persons who wear crowns ? Let us see what a crown looks like. (The teacher draws one or shows a picture.) What are set in the crown to sparkle ? (Show rings containing jewels.) I know of a King who wants different jewels for His crown.

u Little children, little children Who love their Redeemer Are the jewels," etc.

Who is this King ? Jewels shine ; so shall those whom Jesus gathers for His Crown.

" Like the stars of the morning His bright crown adorning, They shall shine in their beauty, Bright gems for His crown."

When will Jesus gather His jewels? 4i When He cometh. when He cometh." Te3, Jesus is coming again some day. May you all be His, dear children, u in that day when He comes to make up His jewels ! "

In this connection, it might not be inappropriate to give a few thoughts about the character of the, songs or hymns which children should sing, and the raanner of singing them. You probably think as we do, that a good

IV LETTER TO MOTHERS.

primary-class song should contain gospel truth instead of pretty jingle. Simple and silly are two qualities which get strangely confused in the minds of those who write for little children. The compass should not oe high. An authority says "never above E flat.'' A strain upon weak and young voices renders singing anything but a pleasure, also destroying all musical effect. This person suggests also, that a lady should lead children in singing, be- cause her tones will give the proper pitch, a gentleman's voice, even when singing soprano, usually being pitched one octave lower than the children should sing.

The song should be cheerful both in the spirit of the words and in the music. I can not soon forget the doleful impression made upon me by hearing a large class of happy-hearted little children singing in Sunday School, " I'm a child of sin and woe.'' It was like a whip-poor-will's note in the throat of a chirp- ing wren.

Whenever it is possible, the Primary class song should be accompanied oy motions. The change of position which children require is thus provided for, and the consequent stirring is in order, rather than a matter inviting reproof. And then, you know, it is an old established rule, that « the more senses employed, the clearer will be the child's idea." So when the children are permitted to exercise in motions what they are singing, they will feel and know more deeply what they sing: e. g., if they sing about the breath which God sends them, let them place their hands where they can feel that breath : if they sing about their hearts which God keeps in motion, let them place their hands where they can feel the beating of their hearts : if they sing about the snow, let their hands represent the snowflakes, and teach them to imitate the falling of the snow : if they sing of the rain, teach them to imitate its pattering, by tapping with their finger tips upon a hard surface.

And now as to the manner of singing. A good order to observe in teaching a new song is, 1st. To gain the children's interest in it by singing it yourself, or getting some one to sing it for you. 2d. To hold a conversation with the children about its sentiments. 3d. To sing one line alone, then repeat it im mediately with the children accompanying, and after a few lines have been thus learned, to sing them through together. 4th. To encourage the children to sing without the teacher's help.

Teach them to sing conscientiously, since only the best of anything is fit to be offered to God. Many times this worshipful element is entirely left out; and if children think at all why they sing, they conclude that it is to please either the teacher or themselves. It would be well to keep the idea of praise to God continually before them by such reminders as the following, when the music is not going well: God likes you to think about what you are singing:

LETTER TO MOTHERS. V

I believe that God likes gentle, sweet sounds, rather than such loud, harsh ones : God does not like a lazy way of doing things for Him, so you must sing a little quicker : God's little birds make more music than you do ; certainly you can sing as well for Him as they. Sometimes this worshipful element is jlost sight of in the endeavor to please visitors and friends, who always delight to hear the children sing. Or the purpose may be forgotten in too frequent singing. We are told to " Pray without ceasing,'r but a primary class can not sing without ceasing, as is sometimes the case, without degenerating into an exhibition singing school.

Children should sit or stand well ichen they sing. They should be told that their lungs are somewhat like sponges, and that when they sit or stand bent up, their mugs are so crushed together that they can not "sing best for God." They should sing with a quick utterance, thus avoiding the miserable habit of dragging. Tell them to make their voices skip when they siug ; by this a jerky manner is not meant. They should be in a cheerful mood. "I'm saddest when I sing," is not a desirable condition for children, at least ; neither have we much sympathy with the sentiments " Birds that won't sing, must be made to sing." It is promotive of the cheerful mood to give the children a choice of what they will sing. This could not be recommended as an invariable rule, for while they may be happiest in singing what they like best, the selections might not be best adapted to the occasion.

The selections under Kindergarten Songs, Cradle songs, and the Secular songs, are designed for the exclusive use of the home. It hardly needs to be said that they are in no particular adapted to the Sunday School.

Yours in loving service,

SAEA J. CRAFTS,

1.

I lav ray sin3 on Jesus,

The spotless Lamb of God; Who bears them all, and frees us

From the accursed load : I bring my guilt to Jesus.

To wash ray crimson stains White, in Hi3 blood most precious

Till not a spot remains. 2. I lay my wants on Jesus,

And fulness dwells in Him; He healeth my diseases,

He doth my soul redeem :

I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares;

He from them all releases, He all my sorrow shares.

3.

I long to be like Jesus,

Meek, loving, lowly, miid; I long to be like Jesus,

The Father's holy child: I long to be like Jesus

Amid the heavenly throng, To simr with saints His praise?.

And learn the angel's song.

Within the world to glow; A little flame that burnetii bright, WTherever I may go.

That comforteth the sad; That helpeth others to be strong, And makes the singer glad.

3 God made my life a little staff,

Whereon the weak may rest. That so what health and strength I have May serve my neighbors best.

Of tenderness and praise; Of faith—that never waxeth dim, In all His wondrous ways.

As nothing else would do.

'Twill be my theme in glory, To tell the old, old story, Of Jesus and His love.

More wonderful it seems Than all the golden fancies

Of ail our golden dreams. I love to tell the story:

It did so much for me : And that is just the reason

I tell it now to thee.

?Tis pleasant to repeat What seems each time I tell it,

More wonderfully sweet. I love to tell the story:

For some have never heard The message of salvation

From God's own Holy Word.

speak.

But oh, I'm very much afraid That with my heart I've never prayed.

When I try to do Thy will, Sin is in my bosom still, And I soon do something bad; Then my heart is dark and sad.

4. Now I come to Thee for aid, All my hope on Thee is stayed; Thou hast bled and died for me, I will give myself to Thee.

Tune — "Seymour." Is. Key F.

1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon our sight away ; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, we would commune with Thee.

2 Soon from us the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take us, Lord, to dwell with Thee.

Bp. G. W. Doane, 1824.

SAVIOUR, WALK BESIDE US. 35

Mrs. Mary A. Kidder, 1675. Hubert P. Main.

1 Saviour, walk Thou still beside us ; Weak and wayward are our feet;

2 Tender are Thv words of blessing, Cheering us on as we go; 3. Lord, impart Thv great salva-tion, Flowing full and free to all;

Safe-ly thro' the ma-zes guide us Till we reach Thy mer-cy - seat. All our sins to Ihee confessing, "Wash our souls as white as snow. Short will be our earth-probation; Fit us for the heavenly call.

So lowly and so meek ; For no one mark'd an angry word That ever heard Him speak.

2 I want to be like Jesus,

So frequently in prayer ;

Alone upon the mountain top,

He met his Father there.

Humbly supplicate Thy throne; Speak to me in accents mild, O Thou great and holy One!

2 li Fill my youthful heart with <xrace.

Make it Thy beloved abode; Show Thy reconciling face. 0 my Father and my God !

3 "May I early learn Thy ways,

Early know Thy power and love;

Then devote to Thee my days, Till I am removed above."

Tune—"Martyn," Is Double, Key F.

1 More like Jesus would I be, Let my Saviour dwell with me; Fill my soul with peace and love- Make me gentle as the dove; More like Jesus, while I go, Pilgrim in this world below, Poor in spirit would I be,

Let my Saviour dwell in me.

2 If he hears the raven's cry, If His ever-watchful eye

Marks the sparrows when they fall, Surelv He will hear my call. He will teach me how to live, All my sinful thoughts forgive; Pure in heart I still would be— Let my Saviour dwell in me.

In the second verse let each child put his right hand on his heart, and when "beating, beating away,'* is sung, let the chest be struck gently, to imitate tho beating of the heart.

Tune — "I was a wandering sheep.'1'1 S. M. D. Key F.

1 The Lord my Shepherd is,

I shall be well supplied: Since He is mine, and I am His, What can I want beside ? He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass, And lull salvation flows.

2 Jesus my Shepherd is,

'Twas He that loved my soul. 'Twas He that washed me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole: 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wand'ring sheep, 'Twas He that brought me to the fold— 'Tis He that still doth keep. Watts.

Tune— "All to Him I owe."> P. M. KeyEfr.

1 I hear the Saviour say,

Thy strength indeed is small, Child" of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.

Cho.— Jesus paid it all,

All to Him I owe ; Sin had left a crimson stain ; He washed it white as snow.

2 Lord, now indeed I find Thy blood, and Thine alone,

Can change the leper's spots, And melt the heart of stone.

3 For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim —

I'll wash my garment white In the blood of Calvary's Lamb. Mrs. E. M Hall, 1865.

HYMNS.

Tune— Olivet. 6$ & is. Key G.

1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Saviour divine ! Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day

Be wholly Thine.

2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart,

My "zeal inspire ; As thou hast died for me,

0 may my love to Thee,

Pure, warm, and changeless be— A living fire!

Ray Palmer, 1830.

Tune — "Near the Cross," Key F.

1 I was but a little lamb

From the Shepherd straying, When I heard within my heart Some one softly saying: — Oho. — "Follow me, follow me,

I will safely guide thee Thro' the stormy ways of life. Walking close beside thee.';

2 Into danger I would go

But for this protection ;

1 should miss of heaven, I know, But for this direction: —

3 Never turning from that voice,

Never disobeying, Let me know that unto me Christ is always saying: —

4 Early to His loving care

Shall my heart be given,

For each step I take with Him

Brings me nearer heaven.

Qio. — "Follow me, follow me," Is the Saviour saying Unto every little lamb Who from Him is straying.

Josephine Pollard, 1875. Tune— Sweet Story. P. M. Key .% 1.

I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he called little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2. I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me."

3. Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in his love And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above ;

4. In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare For all who are washed and for- given ; And many dear children are gather- ing there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Tune — "Martyn,''' Is. Double. Key F.

1 Jesus, lover of my soul.

Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll.

While the tempest still is high. Hide me, 0 my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none,

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, oh ! leave me not alone.

Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stay'd, 3

All my help from Thee I bring: Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of Thy wing.

3 Plenteous grace with Thee is found

Grace to pardon all my sin : Let the healing streams abound. 4

Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art,

Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart.

Rise to all eternity.

C. Wesley.

Tune — "Jesus loves me." Key Efa.

Jesus loves me ! this I know, For the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me ;

The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me ! He who died, Heaven's gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.

Yes, Jesus loves me;

The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me ! loves me still, Though I'm very weak and ill; FrornHis shining throne on high, Comes to watch me when I lie.

Yes, Jesus loves me,

The Bible tells me so. Jesus loves me ! He will stay, Close beside me. all the way; If I love Him, when I die He will take me home on high.

Yes, Jesus loves mo.

The Bible tells me so.

2 Far away from mortal vision Lies a land celestial bright,

Where a band of white-robed seraphs Chase away the shades of night;

Where ne'er comes a thought of evil To disturb the holy calm;

For God shields His precious children From all fear of troubling harm.

3 Jesus died for you, dear children. Died that you might happy be:

That you might from sin and anguish Be at last for ever free.

Can you. will you slight His goodness,

Walk in sinful pleasure's ways, And forget your daily duties,

Offering Him your prayers and praise ? 4 Oh ! there's joy in rightly doing,

Never found in vice or sin ; Then obey the risen Saviour.

If a home in heaven you'd win. Read the Bible : it will point you

To bright scenes of bliss on high. Where there's rest for all the weary,

And our loved ones never die.

1 I love to hear the story

Which angel voices tell, How once the King of Glory

Came down on earth to dwell; I am both weak and sinful,

But this I surely know, The Lord came down to save me,

Because He loved me so.

2 I'm glad my blessed Saviour

Was once a child like me; To show how pure and holy His little ones might be ;

And if I try to follow His footsteps here below:

He never will forget me, Because He loved me so.

3 To sing His love and mercy

My sweetest songs I'll raise, And though I cannot see Him,

I know He hears my praise; For He has kindly promised

That I shall surely go. To sing among His angels,

Because He loved me so.

A little Christian boy of eight years, as he was dying, said to those about his bed: " I've been trying to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.n This expression has in it one of the clearest descriptions of religion that could be given to a child.

2 The footsteps of my blessed Saviour

Mine shall be, mine shall be: Like His my words, my whole behavior,

All shall see. all shall see. My heart be like the Saviour's mind, My words like His be ever kind, Till in my soul I nothing find,

Unlike Thee, unlike Thee.

3 In heaven at last The Lamb that leads us,

We shall see, we shall see; While with the heavenly joy He feeds us,

Glad and free ! Glad and free ! The lambs that follow Him below With Him through heavenly fields shall go, And all His wondrous love He'll show,

Unto me, unto thee.

From "Christian Songs," by per. of H N. Whitney. Tune — " Sweet by and by." Key G.

1 Little children to Jesus belong,

And He calls them lambs of His fold: The dear Shepherd is tender and strong, He will shelter them safe from the cold. Cho.— In the sweet by and by, by and by,

We shall meet our dear Lord by and by; In the sweet by and by, by and by, We shall meet by the bright silver sea.

2 He will carry the lambs in His breast,

He will shield them from sin's chilling blast, By still waters will lead them to rest, On the green sloping meadows at last.

3 Jesus once was a child young as we,

And to us the sweet promise is given: "Let the little ones come unto me,

For of such is the kingdom of heaven."

4 Will you come and unitein our song.

Praising Him who hath loved us so well ? Oh, then come and make one of our throng, That we all in His kingdom may dwell.

OUR WONDERFUL HOUSE.

(A Movement Song.)

Rev. W. F. Crafts.

F. C. T.

A won-der-ful house have I, That God has made for me, With

The door has a tune-ful harp, — A A foun-tain is in the house; A

mill to grind my bread, And pitch-er lies at hand; And

4 The keepers must work for God; The harp must sing His praise;

The windows look to heaven; The strong men walk His ways.

5 And when this house shall fall, As death at last shall come;

The good have a better house Above in Jesus' home.

Let the teacher study and explain the allegory in Ecclesiastes, xii, 1-7. "Keepers" — hands; "Strongmen" — legs; "Grinders" — teeth; " Windows" — eyes; "Door" — mouth; " Music"— the voice; " Silver cord"— spinal cord; " Golden bowl" — top of scull; " Pitcher " and "Wheel '' — lungs; " Cistern " and " Fountain" — heart; " Long Home"— grave. It will add much to Vie interest, while singing, to touch the parts oj the body symbolized, when it can be appropriately done.

3 There are lessons to learn both at home and at school;

There are battles to fight for the right: There's a watch to be kept over temper and tongue, And God's help to be asked day and night.

4 There are smiles to be given, kind deeds to be done,

Gentle words to be dropped by the way — For the child that is seeking to follow the Lord, There is something to do every day.

1 It is God's mercy gives us

The sunshine and the rain. That paints in verdant beauty

The mountain and the plain. By Him were all things fashioned

Around us and afar: He made the earth and ocean,

And every shining star. He made the pleasant Spring-time,

The Summer bright and warm,

7* & 6s. Key B%.

The golden days of Autumn, The Winter and the storm.

4 He makes the glorious sunset*

The moon to sail on high; He bids the breezes fan us And thunder-clouds to fly.

5 He gives us every blessing,

To Him our lives we owe; He sent His Son to save us From sin and death and woe.

"I will be good — now watch me— I will be good all day." Said, in a soft and whisp'ring tone, " Have I been good to-day ?" His grace a - lone can make us good. And keep us good all day.

She lift-ed up her bright young eyes, With a soft and pleasing smile. O ma-ny, ma-ny bit - ter tears, 'Twould save us did we say, He'll help us hate all e-vil thoughts, All sin - ful words and ways ;

Tune-

' Martyn." Is. Key F. 1.

Mary to her Saviour's tomb

Hasted at the early dawn ; [fume; Spice she brought and sweet per-

But the Lord she loved was gone: For awhile she weeping stood.

Struck with sorrow and surprise. Shedding tears, and plenteous flood

For her heart supplied her eyes.

2. Jesus, who is always near,

Though too often unperceived, Came, His droopiug child to cheer,

Kindly- asking why she grieved: Though at first she knew Him not.

"When He called her by her name, Then her griefs were all forgot,

For she found He was the same.

3.

Grief and sighing quickly fled [voice;

When she heard His welcome Just before, she thought Him dead,

Now, He bids her heart rejoice. What a change His word can make,

Turning darkness into day ! You who weep for Jesus' sake,

He will wipe your tears away.

Rev. John Newton. 1779. Tune— Watchman. 7s. Key F. 1. Little travelers Zionward,

Each one entering into rest In the kingdom of your Lord, In the mansion of the blest. There to welcome, Jesus waits.

Gives the crowns his followers win ; Lift your heads, ye golden gates; Let the little travelers in"!

Who are they whose little feet,

Pacing life's dark journey through, Now have reach'd the heavenly seat

They had ever kept in view? "I from Greenland's frozen land;"

"I from India's sultry plain; " "I from Afric's barren sand;"

"I from islands of the main.

"All our earthly journey past,

Every tear and pain gone by, We're together met at last,

At the~portal of the sky." Each the welcome "come" awaits,

Conquerors over death and sin ; Lift your heads, ye golden gates,

Let the little travelers in !

James Edmeston. 1846.

Tune— "Webb." 7s & 6s. Key B^. 1.

The dearest gift of Heaven,

Love's written word of truth, To us is early given.

To guide our steps in youth; We hear the wondrous story,

The tale of Calvary: We read of homes in glory,

From sin and sorrow free.

2.

Redeemer ! grant Thy blessing !

0 teach us how to pray, That each. Thy fear possessing,

May tread life's onward way; Then where the pure are dwelling

We hope to meet again. And sweeter numbers swelling.

Forever praise Thy name.

1 I've thought of little children,

Far off in heathen lands. Taught how to worship Dagon,

And suffer at his hands. I've heard them tell how mothers

Would take their children dear. And cast them in the water,

Without a falling tear.

2 I'm told they have no Bible —

No holy Sabbath day: No teacher, friend, disciple. To teach them how to pray.

I'm told that they are ready

To hear the gospel sound, And I must give my penny,

To send it all around. I'm happy here, in concert

With other children dear. To send my offerings onward,

To place a Biblelhere. And may some friendly teacher,

With Bible in his hand. Be i in to them a leader

To Canaan's happy lanti.

2 Spots of red Dot his head;

Rainbows on his wings are spread ! That small speck Is his neck; See him nod and beck ! I can show you. if you choose. 'Where to look to find his shoes: Three small pairs Made of hairs — These he always wears.

3 Black and brown 13 hi3 gown ;

He can wear it up-side down ! It is laced Round his waist— I admire his taste ! Pretty as hi3 cloth e3 are made, He will spoil them, I'm afraid, If to-night He gets sight Of the candle-light

4 In the sun Webs are spun ;

What if he gets into one? When it rains He complains On the window-panes. Tongues to talk have you and I; God has given the little fly No such things; So he sings With his buzzing wings.

5 He can eat Bread and meat:

There's his mouth between his feet! On his back 13 a sack, Like a pedlar's pack.

Does the Baby understand? Then the fly shall kiss her hand!

Put a crumb

On her thumb: Maybe he will come!

6 Round and round, On the ground,

On the ceiling he is found. Catch him ? no, Let him go! Never hurt him so ! Now you see his wings of silk ! Drabbled in the Baby's milk! Fie ! oh tie ! Foolish fly, How will you get dry?

7 All wet flies Twist their thighs;

So they wipe their heads and eyes. Cats you know, Wash just so: Then their whiskers grow ! Flies have hair too short to comb; Flies go all bare-headed home: But the gnat Wears a hat: Do you iaugh at that?

8 Flies can see More than we—

So how bright their eves must be! Little fly Mind your eye- Spiders are near by: For a secret I can tell — Spiders will not treat you well ! Haste away. Do not stay,— Little fly. good day!

Now, as I've heard, this little trout

Was young and silly too ; And so he thought he'd venture out,

To see what he could do. 4. And round about the fly he played,

With many a longing look; And often to himself he said,

"That cannot be a hook !"

5. "I can but give one little pluck

To try, and so I will!" So, on he went, and lo ! it stuck

Quite through his little gill ! 6. And while he faint and fainter grew.

With feeble voice he cried, "Dear mother, if I'd minded you,

I need not now have died !"

2 The sweet smelling clover, He, humming, hangs over ; The scent of the roses

Makes fragrant his wings ; He never yets lazy — From thistle or daisy, And weeds of the meadow,

Some treasure he brings.

3 From morning's first gray light, Till fading of daylight, He's singing and toiling

The summer day through: Oh ! we may get weary. And think work is dreary ; T is harder, by far,

To have nothing to do !

0 LITTLE MOUSE.

[ The children stand in a circle. A space between two of them is the hole in which the child who is mousie, stays during the singing of verse 1. At the beginning of verse 2, mousie comes out and riuis softly around the circle, stopping here and there to nibble the cheese, pie, cake, etc., (represented by the children in the circle.) In verse 3, mousie goes to the trap, made by three children, who have clasped hands forming a little circle ; their arms are raised to let mousie p>o:ss under. When the mouse il goes in," their arms fall; the children in the large circle give one stamp and one clap for t/ie " snap," and mousie is caught. The cook is then called to look around the pantry and find whether a mouse has been there ; see- ing the food nibbled, she looks in the trap, opens it, calls puss, (another child,) . who tries to catch the mouse before it re-enters its hole.]

[The children are standing in a, circle and imitate the motion of the pendulum. Each succeeding verse is sung quicker than the preceeding one, and accompanied with corresponding movements of the arm.]

1. The watch-es, for good rea - sons, Have nev - er an - y

ev - er tick - ing, tick.

2 The clocks on the lofty towers.

For storms they do not care, In frost and icy showers,

They're always ticking there.

3 The house clocks are no bigger,

Have ne'er a lazy head,

Tick tack, tick tack, tick tack !

| They even go still quicker, They never go to bed. d The little watches hurry. They have no rest nt all, They "re never in a flurry, Although they are so smalL

6 Shall we show you how the farmer, Rests when labor is o'er ?

THE COOPER,

[The children standing quite close tor/ether, form a circle — the barrel. — The cooper is walking around keeping time with the tune. He takes three steps, then stops and strikes three times ; his right hand being the hammer, his left the wedge. This is repeated to the end of the tune. When there are many children, two or three at a time may be coopers.']

THE VESSEL,

155

[Eight children represent the ship : three on each side, one in front, and one be- hind. One child stands in the centre to hold the flag. The children at the two sides imitate with their hands the motion of the oars, and the slap moves slowly forward. It stops at the words: Land, land,'' and a new game commences.]

THE MILL-WHEEL

[This so rig may also be sung while the children are building a mill with their b locks. \

[When standing in a circle, the children singing the first verse, move their feet up and down in time with the tune. At the second verse the motion of the mill- stone is imitated by the two hands, one moving upon the palm of the other. The " clip clap"1 of each verse is accompanied by the clapping together of the hands.]

THE WIND-MILL

[The children are divided into companies of four, letting! them cross right hands and go round, and then left hands, and go round in the opposite direction.']

THE SAWYER.

[The children form two columns, facing each other. Each couple join hands, and while singing, move their arms forward and backward, in imitation of the saw- yer cutting wood. M' hen singing " Little pieces,''' they make short movements, according to the tune. When they sing " See saw, see saw" they move quickly; and with the last word, " See,''' they suddenly stop and raise their arms.]
