ARM AND HAMMER.
This is the picture of a very strong Arm, holding a great hammer. It is such arms as this that do all the most useful
work in the world. It must be such an arm that beats out the hard iron, that hammers the rough stone [11] ]and makes it smooth, that cuts down with an axe the largest trees, and that builds all our houses. It is this arm that guides the plough and that mows the grass, and that tames the wild colt and the fiery bull, and makes them obedient, to drag our carts and chaises.

THE CAT.
Puss is seeing her pretty face in the looking-glass. Perhaps she will wash her face in the bowl that stands by her side.
Cats will always wash their faces once a day, [13] ]and look clean and neat, and when they take a walk out of doors, they never step in the wet. Little girls must keep their shoes and frocks and stockings and hands and face clean, and never play in the dirt.
