The Kite and Ball.
These little boys are talking about their Kite and Ball. I wonder if they have learned their lessons. Children should not neglect to learn for the sake of playing with their toys; but when their task is done it affords their teachers pleasure to see them join in the innocent amusements of their playmates.—These give vigor to their bodies, and prepare them to renew their studies with cheerfulness.
The New Doll.
Miss Charlotte is well pleased with the Doll her aunt gave her. She has already made several new dresses for it. See how delighted she appears as she holds it up.
Are not its clothes pretty? She now knows why she learned at school to use her needle. She can occupy her time when she is not studying, in making up the silks and other nice articles, which her Mamma gives her to adorn her little Doll.
Little Flora.
Flora loves to walk in the garden with her Mamma when all the flowers look so beautiful, and scent the air so sweetly. Do you see that seat? When the mornings are fresh and lovely in spring, Flora often takes her book and retires to it to study by herself.—And many times before other little girls have left their pillows, she has her lesson ready to recite.
