of the water, but having to take a journey in which
it would be necessary to cross the lake, he determined to learn to swim;
as he was afraid to go into the water, he placed a frog in a dish of water
by the table and spreading himself on the table imitated the motions of
the frog until he thought he had learned to swim, at least on the land.

THE BEGGAR.

One morning when Sarah's mother had gone out and left her alone, a beggar
came to the gate where she was sitting, and asked for food. She gave him
some bread, as she thought her mother would do, if at home; he thanked
her, and as he ate it he wept bitterly, and told her that she reminded him
of happy days when he had happy children and a happy home, and was happy
in their love.

THE FRANKLIN GLOBES,

Terrestrial and Celestial.

THE FRANKLIN GLOBES, 6 Inch.

" " " 10 "

We invite the attention of dealers and teachers to the above new series of
Globes, manufactured by us. They are strongly made, highly finished, and
each Globe is put up in a handsome case.

By an improved and entirely new process of manufacturing, (the ball being
made of a material different from that heretofore used, and much better
for the purpose,) the result of a long course of study and experiment,
they are very much stronger than other Globes, and less liable to crack or
be broken by a fall or other accident. In this respect they are far
superior to any other Globes.

Another and very great improvement in these Globes is, the substitution of
a beautiful metallic frame in place of the wood frame heretofore used,
thus making it an ornamental article for the parlor, library, or school
room.

Each Globe, (excepting the parlor pattern, which is put up only in packing
cases,) is put up in a neat case, with lid secured by a catch; or at a
higher price in an ornamental black walnut case, secured with lock. The
case opens readily, so as to display the Globe, and so that it may be
conveniently used without taking it therefrom, and effectually protects it
from liability to accident and from dust: a great desideratum in the
school room. The Celestial Globe is put up in the same variety of styles.

They are printed on new plates, which are engraved in a superior manner,
giving the late changes and divisions, including the latest Arctic and
Australian discoveries.
