It is right for us to try to be neat in our dress, and to look as nice as we can : but we must take care not to get proud, and think that boys and girls who can-not wear fine things are not so good as we are.

I like to go to the wood and sit down on the trunk of a tree, that has been fell-ed. Here is one : what a fine tree it has been ! There is not a branch left now ; they are all lop-ped off. See, there is the wood wain with a team of three horses in it : it is quite as much as they can do to drag it up the hill. The Wheels are very broad, so as not to make ruts in the road. The man has a whip in his hand, but he does not use it much : the horses are good, and pull as hard as they can. This tree was a fine elm once. The keel of a ship is made of elm : but the ship is built of oak. Oak is hard and tough : it will last a long time. See, here is an oak leaf : where is the oak ?

Oh, we will give them some corn : fowls like corn but ducks do not much mind what they eat. Look at that cock ; how he struts up and down the yard ! Is he not proud ? What a fine tail he has ! When they see us, they will all come as fast as they can run to be fed. See, here they come ! Now throw them some corn. How fast they pick it up ! They are very tame.

LESSON 1. THE RAILWAY CARRIAGE. Frank and his lit-tle sis-ter Kate were go-mg to Lon-don with their mam-ma. Now for some time af-ter the train had start-ed, Frank play-ed with Kate; but she soon grew tir-ed, so he went to the win-dow. A kind friend who was in the same car-riage warn-ed Frank not to lean a-gainst the door, and drew him away. But while he was talk-ing to Frank's mam-ma a-bout a poor lit-tle girl who had been kill-ed through do-ing this, Frank went back to the win-dow ; when lo ! the door flew open, and he was thrown out. His mam-ma was in a great fright you may be sure. But the train was not go-ing fast, as it was near a sta-tion : so when they went back to look for Frank they found him a-live, sitting on the ground, but in great pain. His arm was broken. Do you think he would ever be so heedless again ? Poor boy ' he was ill a long time and could not go out to play, but it misrht have been much worse. AUNT MART'S ILLUSTRATED PRIMER. LESSON 2. LOST IN THE WOODS. Fred and Kate had of-ten been told not to go to the wood by them-selves, as they might lose their way. But one day when they were out, Fred said, let us go to the wood : so they went. Now when they were in the wood they sat down on the soft green turf, and said how glad they were they had come ; and ran about with Dash, the dog. But when they were ti-red of play and turn-ed to go home, Fred found that he had mis-sed the path. So they were lost in the wood. Af-ter they had walk-ed about for some time, a storm came on, and Kate be-gan to cry. Then they sat down un-der a large tree and thought how wrong they had been to come. And the light began to fade; but when it was al-most dark, Dash gave a loud bark, and they heard a man's voice call-ing them. So they ran for-ward, and soon found them-selves with their kind pa-pa, who had come to look for them. He did not scold them, but I do not think they would go into the wood a-gain with-out leave. AUNT MARY'S ILLUSTRATED PRIMER. LESSON 3. THE SEASONS. Spring is the Sea-son for plough-in g and sow-ing. Trees be-gin to bud, and prim-roses and dai-sies deck the fields and banks. The birds that the cold had driv-en a- way, now re- turn, and the note of the cuck-oo is heard in the woods. It is very hot in Sum-mer : and it is nice to lie un-cler the trees in the cool shade. It is the time for mak-ing hay. The fruit trees are in full blos-som, and the earth is gay with flowers. The far-mer shears his sheep in June. ATOT MARY'S ILLUSTRATED PRIMER. LESSON 4. THE SEASONS. When Au-tumn comes it is time to ga-ther fruit and cut the corn. When the corn has been bound in-to sheaves, the poor folks come and pick up what is left on the field. In Au-tumn the leaves turn brown and fall from the trees. Win-ter is very cold and drea-ry. The trees are quite bare. The ponds are all fro-zen, and the earth is wrap-ped in snow. The nights are long and dark, but Christ-mas comes in the Win-ter, and folks make merry o-ver a good fire. AUNT MAEY'S ILLTJSTEATED PEIMEE. THE MONTHS.

The lone hand tells the Minute IA>ZJ and the short hand tells the Hour. We will begin at Twelve o'clock, and follow the Ions: hand round the Face. When the two hands are together on the figure XII, it is Twelve o'clock. When the long hand gets to I, it is Five minutes past Twelve. When it gets to II, it is Ten minutes past Twelve. When it is at III, it is a Quarter past Twelve. When it is at IIII, it is Twenty minutes past Twelve. When it is at V, it is twenty-five minutes past Twelve. When it is at VI, it is half-past Twelve. The short hand is now half way between XII and I. When the long hand gets to VII, it is five-and-twenty minutes to One ; when it is at VIII, it is twenty minutes to One; when at IX, a quarter to One, and so on: ten minutes to One, five minutes to One, round to figure XII again. The short hand then points to I, and it is One o'clock. So that in an hour the long hand moves right round the face, but the short hand only moves from one figure to another.
