ON THE WALL.

What a daring little boy that young Edward is! He has climbed to the top
of the wall, and his young cousins are cheering him. I hope he will not
fall, and hurt himself.

"SHALL WE RING THE BELL?"

Poor little boys, they have no one to care for them, for their father and
mother are drunken and idle, and send them about to beg. The children have
been told that a kind Christian man lives at this house, and they are
going to pull the bell and ask him to help them.

BRUSHING SISTER'S HAIR.

Little Emmeline has just been washed and dressed by her mama. So now she
has got the hair-brush, and is standing on a chair brushing her sister
Caroline's hair. Caroline has very long hair, so I hope Emmeline will not
break it, for of course she does not quite understand how to handle the

BABY BROTHER.

Baby brother is a great pet, I can tell you. Mama is afraid to lose sight

vegetables. The cat behind is looking slyly on, as though she would like
to pounce down among them.

AS MAMA DOES.

Little Bertha is having a tea party. The children have been playing, and
now they are having tea, and Bertha is pouring it out for them. Even dolly
is seated at the table, but they have forgotten to take her bonnet off.
When tea is over they will go out and play in the garden.

OFFENDED.

Something has offended master Joseph, and he is leaning there in a sullen
mood, and refuses to play any more. His little sisters are coaxing him to
play with them again, and one of them in fun has taken his hat off his
head. I hope he will not conti
