FOR

LITTLE CHILDREN,

PORTLAND:
S. H. COLESWORTHY,

3839.
T.his poor old man appears
to
have allowed some of his paper
money to be carried off by the
wind, thus making good that pas-
sage of scripture which says,
riches take to themselves wines

and flee away. We sincerely


pity any one whose heart is set
on wealth, for he must, as a
natural consequence, be
misera-
ble with fear that he shall
lose it.

Here is a prodigal who is in a


fair way of not only spending all

his money, but of becoming a


confirmed drunkard; we sincere-
ly pity any one who has so far
forgotten what is due to himself,
to bis friends and to his God as

over destroy his prospects in tins


world, and unfit him for the wo*ld
to come.

The cow is one of the most


useful of animals; of her milk
butter and cheese are made, and
many a poor family are nearly
supported by the milk of a sin-
gle cow; her flesh is also good
for food, and of her horns
combs are made.

The following is the picture


of a man wh o appears to be in
a great passi on with some one
but for what reason is probably
best known to himself.
We sincerely regret that any
man should indulge in anger.

We are somewhat perplexed


to know what kind of a title to
give our hero of this page, but
we may not come far out of the
way to pronounce him a would-
be-king, or sohie great one of

certainly makes a very good ap-


pearance and will undoubtedly
rmuniand great respect among
hte nobles.

The following is a picture of a


minister preaching to his people,
from the word of God; he is a
good man, and desires the good
of all the world; he feels deeply

interested for children, and will


do all in his power for them, and

we hope that our little readers


will appreciate the kindness of
all such good men.

Should you like to be a king?


Here is one who is clothed irt
all the pomp and show of the
world, and at his feet is a hum-
ble little mouse, who, is afraid of
his haughty superior; there is less
difference, however, between

meri and mice than most people


are aware of. Reason is given
to rhen and instinct to animals,
which act the most wisely?

What a beautiful thing a ship


is, when all her canvass is spread
to catch the breeze that is to
waft her to some distant port
across the mighty waters! See
how she rides upon
majestically
the waves, every motion is grace-

ful, and she appears to be en-


dowed with she ploughs
life, as
through the water to reach her
place of destination.

Th'is is n picture of a free-ma-


son’s coat of arms, it makes quite
a pretty appearance; here is

a trowel, a rule, a pair of com-


passes, an olive branch, and a
bee hive.

The sun 'in allhis beauty has


burst upon us* his rays are reviv-
ing, and allnafure is smiling be-
nefit liis warmth-

The leopard is a fierce and


destructive animal in a wild state;
when severely pressed for lood
he has been know to attack men,
and to carry off children, but
you are exposed to no such dan-

ger, and you ought to be grateful


to God you live in a land
that
that is not exposed to the rava-
ges of wild beast, and the no
less cruel savage.

Here is a noisy little fellow


who appears to be fond of his
own voice, for he has stretched
open his mouth with a hearty
good will, and is filling the woods
with his pleasant voice; he is a
merry little bird, and may he live

to greet us with a song at every


approaching spring and summer,
and make glad the hearts of all
who hear him.
This is the representation of a
Roman gladiator, with a scroll in
his hand.
