LESSON XIV. 
THE SPIDER. 
1. You see a spider and its web in the picture. A poor fly will soon be caught in it and be eaten by the spider.
2. The web is formed of stickey threads. If an insect touches one of these threads, it is held fast and its struggles only entangle it the more. 
3. As soon as a fly or a bee gets into the web, the spider rushes out of its hole, and seizes the insect in its fangs or jaws, from which a little drop of poison runs into the wound and kills the victim.

4. Then the spider covers its prey with a silken net and hangs it up to suck at its leisure.

THE FISH. 
1. Fish live in the water. They can not live long out of it. A fish swims with its fins and tail. It can move in the water with great ease. The tail acts like a scull, or an oar which is worked at the stern of a boat. 
2. Could you see well if you were down deep in the water? The fish can see very well. If it could not, it would hit its head against a stone or a rook, and that might kill it.  
3 . Most fishes have an air bladder inside the body, which enables them to go up or down in the water at will. When a fish wishes to go down deep, it can press the air out of this bladder and so increase the weight of the body; and when it wishes to rise again, it takes off the pressure; then the bladder fills with air again, and its body becomes light enough to rise. 
4. I wish I were a fish. How pleasant it would be to swim about deep down in the sea!

LESSON XXV.
THE BAT.
1. The bat is a very strange animal, having hair like that of a mouse, and wings like those of a bird. 
2. During the day, bats live in caves and in other dark places. At night they go forth in search of food. Perhaps you have seen some bats flying about in the evening. Don't tease bats, as some boys do; they are harmless animals. 
3. A funny story is told about the bat, which is at once like a mouse and a bird. The story runs as follows: 
4. There was once a great battle between the birds and the beasts. The bat kept away from the combat, and looked on till he thought the beasts would win the day. 
5. Then he came among them. When they saw him, they said, " But you are a bird." 
6. �gNo indeed," said the bat, "Look at my body covered with hair, and at my mouth with its sharp teeth." 

7. After a while, as the fight went on, the birds began to have the best of it, and then away flew the bat to their side. "What beast comes here?" said the birds. 
8. "I am not a beast,�h said the bat; �gI am a bird. Look at my wings.�h But the birds would have nothing to do with him. 
9. So to this day the bat is ashamed to show himself in the daytime, but hides in lonely places, away from all other creatures, and only flits about in the dark, when the birds and beasts are asleep.

LESSON XXVI. 
PREPARATORY READING. 
Though the fox is very cunning, he sometimes falls a prey to dogs.
You see in the cut a pack of hounds, which have pounced upon a fox. It seems that the fox, trusting to his tricks, was too sure of his safety in the forest. 
The cat in the tree has got out of the danger. A cat is not so cunning as a fox; she has but one course to take if she is attacked by a dog. 

THE CAT AND THE FOX 
(To be learned by heart) 
1. The cat and the fox were once talking in the middle of the forest.
2. "I do not care what happens," said the fox, "for I have a thousand tricks, any one of which would get me out of difficulty. "But pray, Mrs. Puss," he added, "what would you do if you should be attacked by a dog?" 
3. "I would run up the nearest tree. That's the only course I should take. If that should not serve me, I should be undone." 
4. "I am very sorry for you," said the fox. "I would gladly teach you one or two of my tricks, but it is not good to trust to others. We must each take care of himself." 
5. These words were hardly spoken, when a pack of hounds came upon them in full cry. 
6. The cat, by her one quick safeguard, ran up a tree and got out of the danger. 
7. The fox, with all his thousand tricks, had not been able to get out of the danger, and fell a prey to the dogs. 
Safety does not always lie in numbers.

LESSON XXVII.
PREPARATORY READING. 
Some foxes are holding a meeting there. What is the matter with them? You see one of them is making a speech. He has lost his tail; so, he 
is now trying to induce the other foxes to cut off theirs. 
How did he lose his tail? 
He was caught in a trap by his tail. After struggling for some time he succeeded in getting away. But he was forced to leave his tall behind.
So, he thinks that he could save himself from ridicule for his defect if all the other foxes should part with their tails. 
But no fox would be so foolish as to follow such an advice.  

THE FOX WHO HAD LOST HIS TAIL.
(To be learned by heart.) 
1. A fox was once caught in a trap by his tail. After a painful struggle he succeeded in breaking loose. But he had to leave his brush behind. 2. Glad as he was to save his life by parting with his tail, he was much afraid of the ridicule to which he would be exposed by the defect. 3. So, he made a speech at the next meeting in which he set forth the inconvenience of the tail, and proposed that the rest of the foxes should follow his example by giving up their tails. 
4. When he had ended his speech, a sly old fox arose and said: "I rather think, my friend, that you would not have advised us to part with our tails, if there were any chance of recovering your own."

LESSON XXVIII. 
THE COURAGEOUS BOY. 
1. In England, one day, a farmer at work in his fields saw a party of huntsmen riding over his farm. He had a field in which the wheat was just coming up, and he was anxious that the gentlemen should not go into that, as the trampling of the horses and dogs would spoil the crop.
2. So he sent one of his farm hands, a bright young boy, to shut the gate of that field and to keep guard over it. He told him that he must on no account permit the gate to be opened. 
3. Scarcely had the boy reached the field and closed the gate when the huntsmen came galloping up and ordered him to open it. This the boy declined to do. 

4. "Master," said he, "has ordered me to permit no one to pass through this gate, and I can neither open it myself nor allow anyone to do so. 5. First one gentleman threatened to thrash him if he did not open it; then another offered him a sovereign; but all to no effect. The brave boy was neither to be frightened nor bribed. 
6. Then a grand and stately gentleman came forward and said: "My boy, do you not know me? I am the Duke of Wellington-- one not accustomed to be disobeyed; and I command you to open that gate, that I and my friends, may pass." 
7. The boy took off his hat to the great man whom all England delighted to honor, and answered: 
8. "I am sure the Duke of Wellington would not wish me to disobey orders. I must keep this gate shut, nor permit anyone to pass without my master's express permission.�h
9. The brave old warrior was greatly pleased at the boy's answer, and lifting his own hat, he said: 
1O. "I honor the man or the boy who can neither be bribed nor frightened into doing wrong. With an army of such soldiers I could conquer not only the French, but the whole world." 
11. As the party galloped away, the boy ran off to his work, shouting at the top of his voice, "Hurrah, hurrah for the Duke of Wellington!"

LESSON XXIX. 
THE FAITHFUL DOG. 

PART I. 
1. Fido was one of the most faithful dogs that ever lived. 
2. One day her master had to go on a long journey, and he took her with him. He rode a beautiful horse, and Fido trotted cheerfully at the horse's heels. Often the master would speak a cheering word to the dog, and she would wag her tail and bark a glad answer. And so they traveled on and on. 
3. The sun shone hot, and the road was dusty. The beautiful horse was covered with sweat, and poor Fido's tongue lolled out of her mouth, and her little legs were so tired that they could hardly go any more. 4. At last they came to a cool, shady wood, and the master stopped, dismounted, and tied his horse to a tree. He took from the saddle his heavy saddle-bags: they were heavy because they were filled with gold. 5. The man laid the bags down very carefully in a shady place, and pointing to them, said to Fido, "Watch them." Then he drew his cloak about him, lay down with his head on the bags, and soon was fast asleep. 6. Little Fido curled herself up close to her master's head, with her nose over one end of the bags, and went to sleep, too. But she did not sleep very soundly, for her master had told her to watch, and every few moments she would open her eyes and prick up her ears, to learn if anybody were coming. 
7. Her master was tried, and slept soundly and long, --very much longer than he had intended. At last he was awaked by Fido's licking his face. 
8. The dog saw that the sun was nearly setting, and knew that it was time for her master to go. The man patted Fido, and jumped up, much troubled to find he had slept so long.
9. He snatched up his cloak, threw it over his horse, untied his bridle, sprang into the saddle, and calling Fido, started off in great haste. But little Fido did not seem ready to follow him. 
1O. She ran after the horse and bit at his heels, and then ran back again to the woods, all the time barking furiously. This she did several times; but her master had no time to heed her foolish pranks, and galloped away, thinking she would follow him. 
11. At last the little dog sat down by the road-side and looked sorrowfully after her master, until he had turned a bend in the road.

LESSON XXX. 
THE FAITHFUL DOG. 
PART II. 
1. When her master was no longer in sight, Fido sprang up with a wild bark and ran after him. She overtook him just as he had stopped to water his horse in a brook that flowed across the road. 
2. She stood beside the brook and barked so savagely, that her master rode back and called her to him; but, instead of coming to him she darted off down the road, still barking.
3. Her master did not know what to think, and began to think his dog was going mad. While he was thinking of this, Fido came running back again and dashed at him furiously. She leaped up on the legs of the horse, and even jumped up and bit the toe of her master's boot; then she ran down the road again, barking with all her little might. 
4. Her master was now convinced that she was mad, and, taking out his pistol, he shot her. 
5. He rode away quickly, for he loved her dearly, and did not wish to see her die; but he had not ridden very far when he stopped so suddenly as if he had himself been shot. He felt quickly under his cloak for his saddle-bags. They were not there!
6. Had he dropped them, or had he left them behind in the wood? He felt sure he must have left them in the wood, for he could not recall picking them up or fastening them to his saddle. He turned quickly about and rode back again as fast as his horse could go.  
7. When he came to the brook, he said "Poor Fido! " and looked about, but he could see nothing of her. After he had crossed the steam, he saw some drops of blood upon the ground; and all along the road, as he went, he still saw drops of blood. Poor little Fido!
8. Tears came into the man's eyes, and his heart began to ache, for he understood now why Fido had acted so strangely. She was not mad at all. She knew that her master had left his precious bag of gold, and she had tried to tell him in the only way she could.
9. Oh, how guilty the man felt, as he galloped along and saw the drops of blood by the road-side! At last he came to the wood, and there, all safe, lay the bags of gold; and there, beside them, lay the faithful dog, dead.

1. About thirty years ago. I stepped into a book-store in Cincinati, in search of some books that I wanted. While there a ragged little boy, not over twelve years of age, came in to ask whether they had "geographies" to sell.
2. �gPlenty of them," was the salesman's reply. 
3. "How much do they cost?" 
4. "One dollar, my lad." 
5. �gI did not know that they were so dear." 
6. He turned to go out, and even opened the door, but closed it again and cam e back. "I have only sixty-two cents," said he; "will you let me have the book, and wait a while for the rest of the money?" 
7. How eagerly the lad looked for an answer! and how he seemed to shrink within his ragged clothes when the man refused his request! The disappointed little fellow looked up at me with a poor attempt at a smile, and left the store. I followed and overtook him.
8. "And what now? " I asked.
9. �gI shall try another place, sir." 
1O. "Shall I go, too, and see how you succeed?" 
11. "O, yes, if you like," said he in surprise. 
12. Four different stores I entered with him, and four times I saw the childish face cloud at a harsh refusal. 

13. �gWill you try again?  I asked. 
14. �gYes sir, I shall try them all, or I should not know whether I could not get one." 
15. We entered the fifth store, and the little fellow walked up manfully and told the gentleman just what he wanted and how much money he had. 16. �gDo you want the book very much?" asked the proprietor. 
17. " Yes, sir, very much." 
18. "Why do you want it so much?" 
19. " To study, sir. I can not go to school, but, when I have time, I study at home. All the boys have geographies, and they will be ahead of me if I do not get one. Besides, my father was a sailor, and I want to know something about the places that he used to go to. 
20. �gDoes he go to those places now?" 
21. �gHe is dead," replied the boy, softly. Then he added, after a while "I am going to be a sailor, too." 
22. "Are you, though?" asked the gentleman, raising his eye-brows curiously. 
23. �gYes, sir: if I live."

1. "Well, my lad, I'll tell you what I will do; I will let you have a new geography, and you may pay the remainder of the money when you can; or, I will let you have one that is not new for fifty cents." 
2. "Are the leaves all in it, and is it just like the other, only not new?" 
3. "Yes, it is as good as the new ones." 
4. �gIt will do just as well, then; and I shall have twelve cents left 
toward buying some other book. I am glad that they did not let me have one at any of the other places." 
5. The bookseller looked up inquiringly, and I told him what I had seen of the little fellow. He was much pleased, and when he brought the book along, I saw a nice new pencil and some clean white paper in it. 
6. �gA present, my lad, for your perseverance. Always have courage like that, and you will make your mark," said the bookseller. 
7. �gThank you, sir; you are very good." 
8. "What is your name?" 
9. "William Haverley, sir." 
1O. "Do you want any more book?" I now asked, earnestly regarding the serious little face. 
11. "More than I can ever get," he replied, glancing at the volumes that filled the shelves. 
12. I gave him a bank-note. "It will buy some for you," I said. 
13. Tears of joy came into his eyes. 
14. "May I buy what I want with it?" 
15. "Yes, my lad; whatever you want." 
16. �gThen I will buy a book for my mother," said he. "I thank you very much, and some day I hope I can pay you." 
17. He asked my name, and I gave it to him. Then I left him standing by the counter, so happy that I almost envied him. Many years passed before I saw him again. 
18. Last year I went to Europe on one of the finest vessels that ever plowed the waters of the Atlantic. We had pleasant weather the great part of the voyage; but toward the end, there came a terrible storm, and the ship would have sunk, with all on board, had it not been for the captain. 
19. Every mast was laid low, the rudder was almost useless, and a great leak was filling the ship with water. The crew were strong and willing men, and the mates were practical seamen of the first class.
20. But after pumping for one whole night, with the water still gaining upon them, the sailors gave up in despair, and prepared to take the boats, though they might have known that no small boat could be of any use in such a wind and sea.

PART III. 
1. The captain, who had been below examining his charts, now came up. He saw how matters stood, and with a voice that I heard distinctly above the roar of the tempest, he ordered every man to his post.
2. It was surprising to see those men bow before his strong will, and hurry back to the pumps. The captain then started below to look for the leak. AS he passed me, I asked him whether there was any hope of saving the vessel. 
3. He looked at me, and then at the other passengers,--who had crowded around to hear the reply, and said rebukingly: "Yes, sir; so long as one inch of this deck remains above the water, there is hope. When that fails, I shall abandon the vessel, not before, nor shall any one of my crew. Everything shall be done to save the ship, and if we fail, it will not be our fault. Bear a hand, every one of you, at the pumps." 4. Thrice during the day did we despair: but the captain's dauntless courage, perseverance, and powerful will mastered every man on board, and we went to work again. "I will land you safe at the dock in Liverpool," said he, "if you will be men." 
5. And he did land us, safe, but the Vessel sank soon after she was moored to the dock. The captain stood on the deck of the sinking ship, receiving the thanks and the blessing of the passengers as they hurried down the gang-plank. I was the last to leave. As I passed, he grasped my hand, and said: "Judge Preston, do you not recognize me!"
6. I told him that I did not; I was not aware that I had ever seen him before I stepped on board his ship.
7. �gDo you remember the boy who had so much difficulty in getting a geography some thirty years ago, in Cincinnati? He owes you a debt of gratitude for your encouragement and kindness to him." 
8. �gI remember him very well, sir. His name was William Haverley." 
9. �gI am he," said the captain. "God bless you!"

Like the Heaven above. 

LESSON XXXIV.
THE MANLY BOY. 

PART I. 
1. Robert was the name of a manly boy,--active, merry, and bold,--with a heart as light as a feather. 
2. He was going to spend a day at his uncle's house, and snow lay on the ground; he did not care for that. There was to be a foot-race, and a silver-tipped bugle was to be the prize. 
3. Robert had practiced running for several weeks, to prepare for the race. 
4. �gThe race was to be at eleven, so make haste, Brownie!" cried Robert to the pony, which his father had hired for the day, that he might ride to his uncle's. One of the great treats that could be given to Robert was a ride on Brownie.
5. Robert was often tempted to wish that the pony were his own; but as ha had been taught not to be covetous, he was contented, and thankful for what he had. 
6. It was not easy for Brownie to canter on as fast as his young master wished, for the snow lay thick, and the pony often sank in it up to his shaggy fetlock 
7. Robert had ridden about half-way when he passed a lonely cottage in which dwelt a poor old couple named Jones.
8. Robert had often seen the old man weeding in his little garden, and his wife hanging out clothes to dry, or doing other work, but he had never spoken to them. 
9. Just as he scampered past, the sound of a woman's voice calling him, as if in distress, made him stop. Turning in his saddle, he saw Mrs. Jones running towards him, without either bonnet or shawl. 
10. "Oh, young master!" she cried in a tone of despair. "Will you, for mercy's sake, ride to Chester for the doctor? My poor old man is suddenly taken sick, and there is no one near us who can go." 
11. �gTo Chester! " cried Robert; �gwhy that is nearly five miles away!�h  12. " Your pony can carry you; besides, I can not leave my husband. Oh, young master, he is very, very sick!"

THE MANLY BOY.

PART II.
1. Robert could not help wishing that the illness had happened on any other day than this. Chester lay in a different direction from that of his uncle's house; every one would be expecting him, and oh, how impatient he was to be there! Old Mr. Jones was no relation of his; why should he be the one to be sent for the doctor? 
2. So whispered selfishness for a moment-but only for a moment. "Go back to your husband," he said; "I know where the doctor lives and I'll soon let him hear of your trouble;�h and turning his pony's head Robert cantered off in the opposite direction.
3. The pony and his rider were now facing the cold north wind, whose fierce blast pierced Robert through, like a dart. 
4. Then down came some large, white flakes, from the dull-looking sky; faster and faster they fell, till the air was darkened by a heavy snow-storm. 
5. It seemed to poor Robert as if he would never reach the doctor's door; and he thought of all the pleasure that he was now losing, for, by this time, his chance of winning the silver-tipped bugle was lost. 6. At last, he came within sight of the doctor's house. Brownie stood at the door panting and puffing, the steam rising from his shaggy coat, while Robert, whose fingers were stiff with cold, pulled the bell. 
7. �gTell the doctor, please," cried the boy to the servant who opened the door, "that poor old Mr. Jones is very sick; and ask him to go and see him as fast as he can." 
8. �gDoctor's just going out-here comes the carriage for him," answered the servant. �gI'll tell him what you say." 
9. �gOh, how glad I am that I did hot delay," thought Robert, as he turned his pony. �gIf I had been but few minutes, later the doctor might have been off for the day. The race must be over now. Well, though I have lost my chance of the prize, I shall never regret that I have done a kindness to those poor old people." 
10. Robert was too kind to urge the tired pony and it was almost one o'clock when he reached his uncle's house.
11. "I'll not tell what has made me so late," thought the boy; my father's proverb is Do what is right, and say nothing about it.�h
12. Robert was very glad to leave Brownie to his uncle's servant, and run into the warm house, and up to the room whence came the sound of merry young voices.

PART III.
1. "Oh, here is Robert! Here he comes at last!" shouted the children, as Robert, with his cheeks as red as apples, suddenly made his appearance. 
2. �gWhy, what has made you so late? You are two hours behind time," cried one. 
3. �gWe thought that you were lost in the snow," said another. 
4. "What has kept you so long?" asked Charles, his cousin. 
5. "Never mind what kept me;--I have come at last," said Robert, rubbing his chilled hands by the roaring fire. "Tell me who has won the foot-race.�h 
6. �gO, snow came on, so we put off the race," said his uncle. "But the sun is beginning to shine, and we shall have the race after dinner." 7. "Then I am not too late, after all!" thought Robert. �gIt was a good thing for me that the snow-storm came on, though I thought it a trouble at the time." 
8. Dinner was announced; and none of the party enjoyed the roast-beef and the plum-pudding so much as Robert, who had won a good appetite by his long ride, and who was, besides, happy in the thought that he had performed a kind action. 
9. About an hour after dinner the race came off. Robert ran, and ran well. He sprang like a bounding deer, and he was the first at the goal! When he rode home at dusk, the silver-tipped bugle might have been seen hanging from his neck. 
10. When Robert called at the Jones's cottage on the following day, he was glad to find that the doctor had driven there at once, and that the poor old man was likely to recover from his illness. Sweet to the boy were the thanks of the grateful wife. 
11. Robert said nothing of his adventure to any one at his home. He little guessed that his father had heard the whole story from the doctor. 
12. On New Year's day when Robert saw the hostler leading Brownie up to the gate, he was pleasingly surprised to hear his father say to him:
13. �gBrownie now, belongs to you, my dear boy; the pony is a father's gift to the son who has learned to do what is right, and to say nothing about it.�h
