                   LITTLE LEAVES FOR LITTLE READERS.


  [Illustration]


Good morning, my little friends, Black-eyes, Blue-eyes, and Gray-eyes!
It is now June. What a beautiful month it is! How lively and happy
are the birds! How pleasantly the grasshoppers sing! How sweet is the
air, how many thousand flowers are blossoming around! How green is
the meadow, the hill-side, and the forest! How blue is the distant
mountain! Indeed, June is a beautiful month.

Do you see the picture at the head of this page? Do you notice the boys
and the girls in the garden? Do you see the flowers around, and observe
how happy these children seem to be?

I am afraid Bob Merry will hardly be welcome, when everything out of
doors is so lovely. Well, be it so; let the Museum lie on the shelf
till a wet day, and then, my little friends may take it up, and read
about Inquisitive Jack, and the spiders, and such other matters as
please them.




                           Inquisitive Jack.


                               CHAPTER V.

  _About spiders.――How they make their webs, set their nets, and
     other things._
