THE SCHOOLMASTER.
The old schoolmaster is busy with his pupils this afternoon, and is reading something which they are writing out. Some of the words puzzle little Joseph, and he does not know how to spell them. His tiny brother, who sits at his side, is making straight strokes.
THE SAW-PIT.
It is dinner-time, and the children have just brought their father’s dinner to the saw-pit, and are spreading a clean cloth for him on a large log of wood.
