Be careful, Charles; do not go too near the water; it would be a sad
affair to fall in and wet your clothes. Take care, too, not to drop the
string and let your little vessel sail out beyond your reach. It would
be a pity, indeed, to lose the fruits of so much labor as she has cost,
in so careless a manner. Now she sits beautifully on the smooth water;
the light breeze fills her sails, and her streamers are flying gaily.

Henry and Emma.
What a fine horse Miss Emma has got.--I have no doubt she can manage him
better than she could the one her papa drives.--Take care Henry; do not
stumble and fall down. Take care Emma; do not use the whip. A whip for a
plaything, is quite harmless; but if used as though you were driving a
real horse, it would be quite another thing. Brother is very kind, to
take the place of a dumb animal. It would be cruel to repay his kindness
with blows. Do Henry and Emma never hurt those, who treat them kindly?

Calling Names.
Do you see that little boy crying? What do you think is the cause of it?
Why, his playmate who is pointing his finger at him, called him hard
names. It is a naughty trick for children to excite each other's
passions in this way. They had much better use each other kindly. The
little girl you see, is trying to soothe him by persuasion. He should
not cry; but ought to show by his conduct, that he is above such petty
feelings. If he should do so, his companion would soon turn away with
shame.

Swinging.
Mary delighted in swinging, and she had a brother who was fond of her,
and who did all that he could to please her. You see him here indulging
her with her favorite play. It is to his skill, she is indebted for this
beautiful swing, which you see he has put up in a pleasant part in the
garden. How much more agreeable it is, to behold children thus uniting
to make each other happy, than it would be to see them always jealous of
each other's enjoyment.

Is extensively engaged in the publication of JUVENILE and TOY BOOKS, of
different sizes and prices. His little Books are all got up with great
taste, and illustrated with beautiful cuts. Very great care has been
taken, both in the original and selected matter, that not a word should
be introduced into them, which the most judicious parent would object to
place in the hands of his children.
