THE SQUIRREL-TRAP.
Henry had seen a squirrel in a cage; he had watched him whirling about and cracking his nuts, and he longed to have one of his own; so he built a trap-cage, and set it near the great nut tree. He set it in the morning, and then went to school, but he could not study much for thinking of the trap. After school it did not take him long to visit the old nut tree, and lo! there was a little squirrel in his trap; but little squirry soon got away, as you see, and ran off to the woods, happy enough to get his liberty again.

Beneath a spreading oak tree
Upon a village green.

"Pray, tell me," said the youngster,
"Who taught you how to sing?"

To comfort her I tried;

Its secret I will tell—
All that we do for love, sir,
We surely shall do well."

And now, dear little children,
If you open wide your eyes,
You will see the pretty lessons
In creatures, birds, and skies.
