SCHOOL OVER.

The clock has just struck, and the children are coming down-stairs to go
home. They are glad to go, the more so as it is half-holiday to-day, and
as it is fine weather they want to be at their games in the fields. The
little girl coming down the stone stairs is leaning over the rails looking
for her brother, who is just below and does not see her. He will wait for
her, I am sure, for he would not be so unkind as to go home without her,
for he is very fond of his little sister.

THE BOOT CUPBOARD.

This is our boot cupboard, where we keep the blacking and brushes, and
papa's boot-jack. I will tell you whom they belong to, all these five
pairs. The tall big ones belong to dear papa, as you may suppose, and are
strong ones, as he has to walk very much. Mama's boots are not kept here,
but in her own bed-room. Then the next tall pair belong to brother
Richard, and are almost as large as papa's. The pair between Richard's
boots belong to sister Mary; and the pair nearer the door, to little
Susan. The tiny pair next the door, are dear little baby's, but they are
not of much use to him, for his fat little feet need a larger pair.
