No. 15.—Blind Man.
To kindest pity now inclin'd,
See these children wish to give
A trifle to the poor and blind,
Thus assisting him to live.
See, all ragged and forlorn,
He is resting by a tree;
And to him the light of morn
And shades of eve alike must be.
Kind pity then, thou blessed gift,
Help and relieve the sore distress'd;
And up to heav'n his heart he'll lift,
That you with mercy may be blest.
No. 16.—Man sowing Corn.
This man is sowing seed, perhaps wheat or oats. The ground has been prepared by ploughing and harrowing. That box holds the seed. After the field is sown, a boy will be set to keep off the birds, which would otherwise come and eat up a great deal of it.
No. 17.—The Shepherd.
"Remark," said a fond mother to her little girl, whilst admiring a fine flock of sheep feeding in a green meadow, "how good our Heavenly Father is to all his creatures. He makes the grass, to serve the sheep for a soft couch to lie down upon when they are tired, and to afford them a pleasant meal when they are hungry."
