you from this dreadful snare,

And taught you to refrain.

If in his counsel you abide,

A mightier Power shall be your guide,

And great will be your gain.

Remember long the lesson taught;

Obey your parents as you ought;

For vice is link’d with wo:

And if their care your soul secures,

I shall, for their sake and for yours,

Rejoice that it is so.

The tenderness your manner showed,

And care about offending God,

Do my forgiveness claim;

Freely you therefore shall partake,

Of fruit, which I a present make,

With neither fear nor shame.”

Then from the ground the pole he took,

The pear tree’s topmost branches shook,

And filled young Richard’s hat;

His father too he kindly pressed,

To eat, to enter, be his guest,

And spend an hour in chat.

“Our thanks, my friend, will not repay

Such goodness,” did the father say;

“Permit my purse to do it.”

“By no means, sir,” the man replied,

“I am entirely satisfied;

Freely accept the fruit.”

An hour was spent in friendly talk,

The ramblers then pursu’d their walk,

Blessing the good old man;

And Richard long remember’d this;

He seldom after did amiss:—

Be like him—for you can.

NEVER LOOK SAD

Never look sad, nothing so bad

As getting familiar with sorrow;

Treat him to-day in a cavalier way,

And he’ll seek other quarters to-morrow.

Long you’d not weep, could you but peep

At the bright side of every trial;

Fortune you’ll find, is often most kind,

When chilling your hopes with denial.

Let the sad day carry away

Its own little burden of sorrow,

Else you may miss half of the bliss

That comes in the lap of to-morrow.

PEEVISHNESS.

George and his sister were generally good children, but sometimes they had their little difficulties. One day they were playing together while their mother was sewing, and both were peevish and fretful. Their mother spoke to them several times, and at last placed one in each corner of the room, giving each a rod to hold, and kept them there until their father came home to tea. They remembered this for a long time.

SWIMMING ON LAND.

Mr. Tibbs was afraid 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.

Globe of the world in ornate stand

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.
