 PUBLISHERS' NOTICE. 
 
 The School Readers, of which this little book is the second 
 number, have been prepared with much care and are specially 
 adapted to the wants of our Southern Schools. They take the 
 pupil at the threshold of his reading course and lead him 
 ually, step by step, along the way, making every thing plain 
 before him, until he becomes a well instructed and accomplished 
 reader. 
 
 The author has patiently, zealously, laboriously, with a noble 
 spirit of devotion and a rare appreciation of its requirements, 
 brought her task nearly to completion. In addition to the best 
 works in our own language, Bhe has had at command a choice 
 library of juvenile books in French and Gcrmau, of which she 
 has made good use. The translations to be found in this series 
 are among the most attractive features of the Readers. 
 
 "We are happy to be the medium of introducing, these books 
 to the public and we regret that the restrictions of the blockade 
 and the innumerable difficulties of publication in these times, 
 forbid their appearance in a style equal to their merit, We pre- 
 fer to publishthem without pictorial embelishments other than a 
 simple frontispice : first, because the expense would so greatly 
 enhance the cost of the books as to place them beyond the reach 
 of the general public ; and secondly, because it would be exceed- 
 ingly difficult now to procure illustrations worthy of the name. 
 When the war is over it will be easy to obtain suitable cute in 
 .stereotype plates from abroad when a new edition will be pub- 
 lished supplying all present omissions.'

 PREFACE 
 
 From the ease with which children in theirm

 are never so flexible ai From ii

 book, <an ti Method of 
 
 ■ bieh lias driven it away to more advanced i 
 ■>ls, while younger children are allowed to a 
 habits of pronunciation, Which they are expected at some future 
 period to cm learn. * 
 
 Although the Second Reader contains many lessons in elocu- 
 tion, THUKfi words only iii the book, wijl he found of more 
 than two syllables. No monosyllable will be found of more 
 than s< , and the long I m the whole h 
 
 the word " Christmas. J' 
 
 These facts will show with ■ the d fficull 
 
 reading have beea graduated, ft is hoped that in tli' 
 system of pr will be found uninterrupted, fn i 
 
 birst Reader to the last. This obje is kept stead- 
 
 ily in view by the compiler.

 incorporation of the troublesome element into a word. .-..

 will do the work of instruction qui 
 more agreeably*" 
 
 It will be conceded that if it is important to read a la- 
 well, it is of still more importance to speak it correctly. Tiic 
 teachers who may use these Readers are «tea to 
 
 correct in the familiar speech of their pupils the i . 
 follow. 
 
 ■ The use of the personal pronoun "them" fi >r 'he demon. I 
 iem things," &c. 
 
 The addition of syllables or letters to w drowndefl,"

 The omission oi' ;i h ;•.;•. ',/,"' and a !

 The singular verb with a plural noun or pronoun, as: "we 
 was," "the. boys was,". &c. 
 
 The objective form of pronoun for the nominative, as : "him 
 and me weut,' v &c. 
 
 The use of the objective case after the verb "to be," as : "it 
 was me,'' "it was them." 
 
 'Those frightful ellipses, as heard in "tell urn,'' for " tell them" 
 and "tell him." 
 
 The pre fix *a where it has no business to be, as: "dioalJcin, 1 ' ' 
 "a-talUm?* &c. 
 
 Of the other errors pointed out in the lessons of the book, it is 
 unnecessary to speak. 
 
 One general rule however must be attended to : 
 
 Children should be required to utter distinctly what they wish 
 to say. By so doing, they will in time acquire purity of artic- 
 ulation. 
 
 The lessons in script have been placed at the end of the book, 
 that the teacher might select his own time for presenting them 
 to his pupils. A. V. C.

 PREFACE FOE THE CHILDREN. 
 
 If you wish, my dear children, to read well, you must pro- 
 nounce every syllable of y»tir words distinctly, so that every 
 one shall hear and understand what you say. 
 
 Be careful to mind your stops. , 
 
 ' Do not slight those difficult It's, for whose benefit Ihave writ- 
 ten so many lessons. 
 Give to each vowel its own sound.. 
 
 1. Say amusement, not wn-nvuse- vaunt. 
 
 2. Say return, not rat-turn. 
 
 3. .Say civil, not eival. 
 
 . 4. Say polite, not put-lite. 
 
 5. Sajt-Wtee, not bloo, &c, &c. 
 
 (The teacher can multiply these examples ad infinitum.) 
 
 6. Ring out the i-n g in do ing, Y\\n-ning, see-ing, look-ing,' 
 com ing, <fcc. , &c. 
 
 Above all things, be attentive to the notes winch head the 
 lessons in this book. Your teachers will read and explain them 
 to you, 
 
 "Observation.— The children who use this Reader, will not 
 he able to read this preface for themselves. The teacher is re- 
 quested to read it for them.

 LESSON 1st. 
 
 Observation. — The words in columns are de- 
 signed as lessons in orthoepy. They may be 
 spelled or not, at tire pleasure of the teacher; but 
 they must bo pronounced over and over until their 
 difficulties are mastered. 
 
 Then, and then alone, must the lessons bo read. 
 
 The first exercises in orthoepy have especial 
 reference to the 11. Nothing but practice will 
 enable our Southern children (so accustomed to 
 ignore its existence) to enunciate it without harsh-, 
 ness.

 PUNCTUATION. 
 
 THE NOTES ARE ALL TO BE READ V,Y THE TEACHER TO THE 
 PUPILS. 
 
 Note. — "We must read as we talk ; stopping sometimes long enough 
 to count one ; sometimes long em. ugh to count two ; someSim.es long 
 enough to count three ; sometimes even lon^enough to eouut four. 
 
 Just as you have learned JrrttT letters so you must nn.w learn the 
 names and value of the signs which will teach you how long yo^are to 
 stop on your wbids when you read. 
 
 Of these signs of Punctuati-r, four will suffice you for the present. 
 They are quite as easy to iearn as your Alphabet. 
 
 First : a comma 
 will count one. 
 
 Second': a semicolon 
 will count two. - 
 
 Third: a colon 
 
 Will COUnt THREE. 
 
 Fourth : a period 
 will count four.

 Observation. — The teacher will now draw 
 
 these sie;ns on the black board, and 
 
 of each 
 
 child in the class to give- their names and value. 
 
 As a reminder to the pupils, the value of the 
 first comma, semicolon, &c, that occurs in every 
 lesson will be marked by a number above it. 
 
 At the 33rd lesson these reminders will be dis- 
 continued.

 Words of five and six letters, and simple words of two syllables will

 difficult, it will be made very gradual. 
 
 The lessens throughout the book have been written with reference to 
 all the difficulties presented in the exercises. 
 
 In the little nursery rhymes, a few, very few words will bo found 
 more complex than those introduced in the lessens in prose. But words

 But I do not love her so much as I do 
 
 my bird. 
 Come see him. He is so tame that he 
 
 eats out of my hand. 
 See him, how he picks up the seeds with 
 
 his bill ! 4 
 I hope he will sing for you ; he of-ten

 Do you like birds ? 4 I do ; and I love to 
 
 hold them too ; they are so soft in

 I love my bird too much to shut him up 
 
 in a eagre. 
 I let. him live in the oak tree that is close 
 
 by my own room. 
 When I call him, he flies in, and hops on 
 
 mv hand. 
 When I first had him, he was wild and 
 
 shy ; but now he is so tame that he 
 
 holds up his beak for me to kiss him.

 No, I have not seen it f I have been in 
 
 the store-room with old Tom. 4 
 Tom and I have some corn for Kate to 
 
 •give to the fowls. 
 Fowls love corn f let us go and see Kate 
 
 feed -them. 
 But first we will go to the coop to look 
 
 in my gray hen's nest. 
 My hen has laid two eggs f let us take 
 
 them from the nest. 
 One is yet warm ; it must have bftn laid 
 
 to-day. 
 Now, let us go in-to the barn-yard. O-pen 
 
 the gate and we will walk in. 
 Here is Kate with all the fowls af-ter her. 
 They know Kate ver-y well, and they all 
 
 run to her when they see her. 
 They know that she has some sort of food 
 
 for them. 
 Give us some corn ; do, dear Kate, and 
 
 ^et us help to feed the fowls. 
 You shall feed the hens, and we will take 
 
 care of the ducks.

 Do you see that pond in the yard by the 
 
 old fig-tree ? 4 
 That pond is for the ducks to swim in, 
 
 and they like to play in the wa-ter 
 
 ver-y much. 
 The hens do not care for the pond, they 
 
 ' like to pick in the grass. 
 Hens love to eat worms and bugs, and 
 
 ducks like flies. 
 Kate says we must not give them an-y 
 
 more corn now. 
 See, now that they have done, how the 
 
 ducks run in-to the coop. 
 And the cocks and hens will all fly up 
 
 in-to the oak tree. 
 And they will hide their heads un-der 
 
 their wings.

 The dun cow will give most milk, for she 
 
 has a calf not four weeks old. 
 See it run by her side. Kate says that it 
 
 shall be my calf. 
 Look at the milk now, how ver-y fast it 
 
 falls in -to the pail. 
 Let us go and get some cups, and Kate 
 
 will fill them with milk for us. 
 The foam of new mlik is ver-y rich and nice. 
 Kate will give us some 5 more if we like ; 
 
 but we do not want it. 
 Look at the red cow that has such a 
 
 ] cross old face. 
 One day she tried to hook the cook ; and 
 
 so Tom tied her long horns for her. 
 But the big dun cow is as good and tame 
 
 as a lamb. 
 She-will come when Kate calls her, and she 
 
 knows her name as well as Kate does. 
 Now we have seen all the cows. What 
 
 a pail of milk Kate has! 
 We will get just as much of it as we like 
 
 for our tea. 
 And Jtme the cook .will bake some rusks 
 
 for us to eat with it. 
 Let us run to Jane, and beg her not to 
 
 for-get to make them. 
 Jane says that her rusks hav*e been put 
 
 to bake in the ov-en. 
 Let us go and look at them. How nice 
 
 they look," and how sweet they smell ! 
 
 I wish it were time to eat them.

 What a pool the rain has marie in the 
 
 yard by the side of the old barn ! 4 
 When I was in town to-day, T saw in a 
 
 toy-shop a boat with a mast and a* 
 
 sail to it. 
 And I saw one with oars ; k was a row- 
 boat. Both the boats were of wood, 
 
 and were made to sail in a pond. % 
 I wish we had them liere now, to sail in 
 
 this lit-tle pool that the rain has just 
 
 made for tig. 
 Here comes all the ducks. How they do 
 
 love the rain ! 
 When the rain stops, you may go out to 
 
 see the ducks swim and take a bath 
 
 in the pools.' 
 Bat you must not go yet, for the grass is 
 
 damp ; and if you wet your feet, you 
 
 will take cold. 
 Then you may be sick, and have to lie in 
 
 bed, and not play ball or hoops for '■ 
 
 a long time. 
 Last week ['saw a, boy so sictk from a 
 
 cold that we fear he will "die of it. 
 Poor boy! He is ver-y ill, and now he i 
 
 will play no more in this world. 
 But if he has betfn a go d boy, he will 
 
 to God, and live with Him in a 
 
 world a-bove the. blue sky that 
 
 seems so far away from us.

 Why do they mow grass ? 
 They mow it to make hay of it Do you

 Yes ma-ma, I know. We give hay to our 
 
 cows and hors-ea to eat, and Tom 
 
 puts ft in the hens' nests to make 
 
 them soft. Is hay good to eat ?

 Now that words of two syllables will Infre- 
 quently introduced, great attention must be paid 
 by our little pupils to the sounds of the unaccent- 
 ed vowels. A defective organism, in some persons 
 may interfere with the enunciation of the letter It, 
 as well as with that of the articulate elements or 
 consonants. But no organic defect can hinder the 
 utterance of vowels, or vocal dipthongs. The brute 
 creation shares with man the power of inarticulate 
 vocality. That accomplished vocalist, the cat, in 
 her nightly me-a-ou, i-e-a-ou, sweeps through the 
 entire range of our vocalic sounds. Perfect purity, 
 therefore, of these inarticulate sounds, is attainable 
 by every child j a little perseverance is all that is 
 necessary to obtain it in every case ; and certainly 
 it contributes, in an eminent degree, to harmony 
 and elegance of speech.

 10. Yes, I see it too. She is called the 
 
 "Jfly-ing Ar-z-ow." YVhat a pret-ty 
 name lor a boat - ; but she ought to 
 be a ver-y fast boat to bear such a 
 name. - 
 
 11. Si\e is* a fast boat. I have seen her 
 
 run a race with oth-er boats, and win

 The Swan can swim 'in the wa-ter, 
 as well as fly in the air. It looks

 3. Aunt. Sal-ly is ver-y bu-sy now for she 
 
 is just go-tug to churn. I would like 
 to know how to churn but-ter my-self. 
 
 4. It is quite worth your while to learn. 
 
 Aunt Sal-ly will be glad to show you 
 how it is done. 
 
 5. Aunt Sal-ly has made but-ter for us 
 
 ev-er since I was a lit-tle girl ; 'and 
 she is proud ofher skill in the dai-ry, 
 for her but-ter is ver-y nice. 
 
 6. First you see that she pours her cream 
 
 in to the churn* After that, she 
 puts in the dash-er ; and then she 
 drops the cov-er, and fas-tens it. 
 
 7. Now she toss-es the cream up and 
 ^ down in the churn, and she will go 
 
 on to toss it so for half an hour. 
 
 8. This churns the milk, and makes the 
 butter rise. Pray aunt Sal-ly, let 
 me churn for a lit-tle while, I am 
 sure I can do it just as you do. 
 
 9. Well Miss, take the dash-er; but you 
 
 Juust be brisk, and churn fast, or else 
 the but-ter will not come.

 it off with my dash : er, and put it on 
 a wood-en plat-ter.

 11. Then I will work out all the milk ; 
 • af-ter thai, I will mix some fine salt 
 
 with it, and roll it up in a ball. 
 
 12. And the last thing 1 do, will be to 
 
 print it and set it in a cool place in 
 my dai-ry, urn-til you want it in the 
 house for sup-per. 
 
 13. Aunt Sal-ly, now that the put-ter is 
 
 out of the churn, will you give us a 
 drink of your but-temmlk 1 
 
 14. Yes Miss, I will. Now you see that 
 
 l have work-ed all I he milk out of 
 my but-ter, and it is as yel-low as 
 gold. 
 
 15. So it is, both firm and yel-low; and 
 
 see it has the print of a tu-lip on the 
 top. 
 
 16. How I long for a taste of the sweet, 
 
 fresh but-ter.

 The words both of the lessons and exercises, will 
 now be 'longer and more complex. Words of two 
 syllables will abound ; and they will contain more 
 letters than those hitherto presented. 
 
 But it will be found noon examination, that the 
 same words beinsj again and again repeated, the 
 alphabetic difficulties will be no greater (in propor- 
 tion) than before. 
 
 Compound words &s "but-ter-fly, but-ter-milk K 
 him-se!f," &c, will be almost as familiar to the eye 
 in their compound as in their simple form. /They 
 will not be considered therefore, as presenting any 
 new difficulties to the learner. 
 
 The lessons in Part*Fourth are not strictly pro- 
 gressiva. Some are lessons- of revision, and some 
 are designed to rest the minds of the little learners 
 and to amuse- them.

 3. He had a sol-dier cap and jack-et, a 
 
 lit-tle sword and a real gun, which 
 his un cle gave him last week. 
 
 4. So Frank's moth-er says that as all 
 boys long to han-dle guns, Frank 
 shall learn to use his-with skill; and 
 ver-y soon his un-cle wiYl take him- 
 
 . to hunt in the woods, where Frank 
 will shoot ducks, lairds, and wild 
 tur-keys. 
 
 5. But just now, Frank thinks much 
 more of play-ing sol-dier than hunt- 
 er. He does not know which he 
 likes best, his»un or his drum. * 
 
 6. His fath-e^ drills him ev-e-ry nigjbt 
 
 after tea, and he thinks him-self 
 quite a man when pa-pa calls out : 
 "Or-der arms;" "sup-port arms;" 
 . "ground arms" 
 
 7. But Frank must not lose too much 
 
 time in beat-ing his drum, or play-ing 
 the sol-dier ; if he does, he will nev- 
 er knew his les-sons. 
 
 8. It is far better for lir-tle boys to

 1. Now the sweet springtime has come. 
 
 a-gain, we will walk out up-on the 
 green, and see the boys come from 
 all pa?ts of the town to fly their 
 kites. 
 
 2. Ed-gar has a fa-mous kite as tall as 
 
 him-se]f. It is called the J'Fal-con." 
 Let us watch Ed-gar and his "Fal- 
 con/ 7 to see if she is as fine as her 
 name. 
 
 3. Yes, she goes well. She darts up 
 
 in-to the sky like an a/ -row, grnd 
 seems as if she were leap-ing for joy, 
 " . all a-lone in the clouds that are so 
 far a-bove U9. 
 
 4. Now Ed-gar draws her in, and she 
 
 makes a swoop down like a real 
 fal-con dart-ing up-on li*is prey. 
 5w^-way she goes a-gain flying right 
 and left,- and ri-sing fast and faster, 
 un-til she is quite out of sight. 
 
 6. Let us noV go and wafch Har-ry's 
 kite. She is caHed the ■ 'Lone Star," 
 and she has a large sil-ver star on 
 one side, and on the o-ther her name. 
 Her col-ors are red and blue. .

 7. Gome Har-ry, let her go. . See how 
 
 she sails up high and high-er in the 
 air while Har-ry un- winds the cord 
 . that holds her. ' See how she. darts, 
 from side to side, and how gay and 
 bright her long tail looks. 
 
 8. I think if I had a kite with such a 
 
 fine tail, I should call her the <k R 
 Bow." But let us fol-low the sports 
 of the "Lone Star." 
 
 9. Now she mounts a-gain as if she 
 
 woulcf reach the skies, and she looks 
 so small that we can nolong-er see her 
 shape, size, or col-or. She looks like 
 aht-tle dark speck in the sun-shine. 
 
 10. Bat Har-ry is go-iftg to bring her 
 
 down, He will let her play a-bout 
 » in the air, where we can all see how 
 pret-ty she is ; and in a ino-ment or 
 two, you will see Ed-gar com-ing 
 a-long with the "Fal-con." 
 
 11. Now when the -boys have shown off 
 
 their kites to all the oth-erboysonthe 
 green, they will take them in gen*4y ; 
 wind up the cord, .and carry them 
 home to rest un-til the next bright day . 
 12* And when there is plen-ty of wind 
 to bear them up, the "Fal-con" and 
 the ''Lone Star", will be up in the 
 , clouds a-gain ; and per-haps we may 
 bring a* 'Rain-bow" to fly with them.

 5. Ro-sa-s doll spill-ed some milk on her 
 
 dress, but 1 wash-ed it out for her. 
 When the dolls had tak-en tea, we 
 wash-ed and wiped all the tea-things 
 and put them a-way. 
 
 6. And what else did you do Ro-sa, af-ter 
 
 that? Af-ter tea, A-my and I put 
 on our bon-nets, and went out on 
 the grass-plot in front of the hou&e' 
 to jump the rope. 
 
 7. When we were tired -of that, we ran 
 "down the gar-den as far as the fish- 
 pond, to look at the gold and sil-ver 
 fish, and the pret-ty green tur-tle 
 that seem to be so* hap-py iri the 
 wa-ter.

 swim-ing in' the pond, my doll fell 
 in the wa-ter- I was so sor-ry that 
 I be-gan to *cry ; but A-my went to 
 old Tom, who came with his rake, 
 and fish-ed her up by the skirt of 
 her dress. 
 9, Poor doll ! I hope she was not hurt 
 Ro-sy ! \ Not much ; but as she is a 
 ' ciw-ing doll we let her ci*y a-while 
 af-ter her cold bath, and then we 
 put a night-gown, on her, and sent 
 her to be/d. 
 
 10. Why did you send her to bed, Ro-sa, 
 if she was not hurt ? Was her dress 
 too wet to wear ? 
 

 CHAUDRON'S SECOND READER. 
 
 11. Yes Ma'am, it was ; and it came out 
 
 of the wa-ter full of green moss, aiRl 
 ^bad-ly torn. But we hung it be-fore 
 the fire to dry, and aunt No-ra is 
 mend-ing it now for me. When the 
 dress is mend-ed, we will take the 
 doll out of. the bed. 
 
 12. I am glad to bear that A-my has 
 
 ta-ken good care of the poor doll. I 
 hope that she will aKvays be kind 
 to those who are in troub-le. 
 
 13. In-deed A-mjMlid all- that she could 
 
 for my*doli ; but still I feel bad-ly 
 when I think how she might nev-er 
 have come up a-gain, if un-cle Tom 
 had not fish-ed her out for me. 
 
 14. And I think Ro-sa, that when you go 
 
 to- feed the sil-ver fish a-gain with 
 A-my, you had bet-ter leave your 
 fine wax doll in the house. Will you 
 come in and take din-ner with us 
 now? 
 
 15. I thank you Ma'am ; but my moth-er 
 
 told me to comeback to din-ner, 
 and I can not stay. 
 
 1 6. That is right Ro-sa. It is your du-ty 
 
 to -mind your moth-er; but you

 But we can not stay to see his fate,

 most hap-py to see her this morn-ing. 
 I won-der if Min-ny knows wh#t' 
 Ro-ver is say-ing to her.

 but if they were both dogs, or both

 know quite well what Ro-ver says

 3. She bent o-ver her book, and seem-ed 
 
 to # grow pen-sive. Then, rais-ing 
 % her pret-ty curl-y head, and turn-ing 
 
 to her moth-er she said ; 
 \. "Dear Ma-ma, who made the sil-ver 
 
 moon and the stars that shine at 
 
 night in the sky ?" 
 ,5. God, my child, our Fa-ther who lives 
 
 be-yond the sky, made them.

 gay but-ter-fries that I love to chase 
 
 on the lawn ; and the shy deer that 
 
 run a-way when I want to come near 
 
 them , did the Good God make all

 Yes dear child, you are, and I thank \

 1. A boy was cnce sent tonvatch a caff 
 that was feed-ing on a grass-plot near his 
 fath-er's gar-den. The boy sat down in 
 the shade, and be-gan to look about him. 
 
 2. Not far a-way, he spied a fine cher- 
 ry tree, la-den with ripe cher-ries. v rhe 
 cher-ries look-ed so rod and so sweet, 
 that the boy's mouth be-gan to wa-terfor 
 a taste of them. 
 
 3. So he' left the calf, and dart-ed off 
 to the tree, where he seat-ed him-self on 
 one of its limbs, and was soon bu-sy pick- 
 ing and eat-ing the fruit. , 
 
 4. TJie calf, left to do just what it lik-ed 
 best, ran offal-so; it broke in-to the gar- 
 den, trod down the beds, and ate as man-y 
 tur- nip and cab-bage leaves as it pleas-ed. 
 
 5; When the the boy was tir-ed of eat- 
 ing cher-ries, he look-ed at the spot where 
 he had left his calf; and see-ing.that it 
 had gone, he came down in great haste 
 to find out where it was.

 a fine time to be sure! Cluite as well 
 pleas-ed ehew-ing raw tur-nip leaves, as 
 the boy had been, eat-ing' sweet ripe 
 cher-ries. 
 
 7. You see then that the boy and tne 
 calf .had both been do-ing the ver-y same 
 thing; both run-ning off from the place 
 where they should have staid. 
 
 3. But the boy did not, stop to think of 
 that. He was so an-gry that he ran to 
 the poor calf, caught it by its tail, and 
 heat it with a great cru-el stick. 
 
 9. His fa-ther who wascom-ing out of 
 the house, saw all this. He felt sor-ry to 
 see his son in a pas-sion; but he was a 
 wise man, as well as kind. So he did not 
 beat his boy as the boy had beat-en the 
 calf, but he came up to him, and took the 
 stick out of his~hand. 
 
 10. He look-ed sad and se/rtons while 
 he spoke. "Myson," said he, "who is to 
 blame for the harm that has been done to 
 my gar-den, is it you, who have rea-son, 
 and know what you do, or is it this dumb 
 beast, who has. no thought of right or

 13. The boy blush-ed and hung his 
 head; for he felt that "he had been both 
 cru-el and un-jusr. With his eyes full of 
 tears, he beg-ged his fa-ther's par-don. •

 (Mttfa. 
 
 These lessons will be found valuable ; -for many 
 children learn to write, and write well, long before 
 they are able to decypher their own writing. 
 
 By /being taught to read script before imitating, 
 it, children will take a double interest in their 
 writing lessons ; and it is obvious that familiarity 
 with the shape"" and meaning of the characters, 
 will make them less difficult of imitation.' 
 
 It will be seen that these lessons in script are 
 but the repetition of other easy lessons in Part 
 First. 
 
 It is suggested that they be read at intervals, 
 while the children are going through the first four 
 partg of the Reader.
