where 'the reapers
indeed are few.'"
Among the stories in the present volume are the following:--
Bessie's Garden,
One of the most touching and affecting stories we have read for many a
day.
The Lancers.
A most humorous story, with a never-to-be-forgotten moral, inculcating
contentment.
The Working Fairies.
In this story Industry is held up for attainment, and Idleness receives
a severe rebuke. The style and language, though perfectly intelligible
to children, are worthy of a Beecher.
The Princess.
A story of wrong and suffering.
Little Red-Head.
A true story of a bird.
The Little Preacher.
A sweet story, introducing bird and insect life, and conveying more
truth and instruction to children, than can be found in a dozen ordinary
sermons.
