This little volume fk designed for small child- ren ; and the. only merit the author claims, is, tnat it is adapted to the young mind. Since children very rarely learn to read in the Primer, we deem it unnecessary to take up much space with reading lessons. The competent teacher will understand how to use the work. We regret to make a book for children, with- out pictures, but we hope to do better for the next edition-. COPY-RIGHT SECURED ACCORDING TO LAW. ALPHABET.

Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow : And every where that Mary went The lamb was sure to go. Ho followed her to school one day Which was against the rule — It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school. i Sx> the teacher turned him out.. But still he lingered near ; And waited patiently about. Till Mary did appear. And then he ran to her and laid His head upon her arm ; As if he said, I'm not afraid, You'll keep me from all harm. "I WANT TO BE AN ANGEL. I want to be an angel. And with the angels stand ; A crown npon my forehead, • A harp within my hand. Thejjp right before the Saviour So glorious and so bright ; T'd make tie sweetest music, And praise him day and ni^ht, I never should bo weary. Nor ever- shed a tear ; Nor ever know a sorrow, Nor ever feel a fear. But blessed pure and holy. I'd dwell in Jesus' sight ; And with ten thousand thousand, Praise him both day and night. I know I'm weak and sinful. But J>sus will forgive. For many little children Have 'gone to heaven to live, Dear Saviour when I languish. And lay me down to die -. send a shining angel, »• Tfi bear me to the sky. O there Til be an angel. And with the augelB stand : "A crown upon my forehead, A harp within .my hanS.
