LESSON XIII (Continued). BOYS THROWING STONES.-Part 2. Be-cause doc-tor wish-ed be-came for-get stand-ing be-fore with-out 1. Poor Sam was not seen at school again for a long time, and when he did come, he did not look as he used to do-one eye was quite blind-and all because of the stone Tom Jones threw. 2. Tom grew to be a strong man, and got on in the world. 3. Sam became a man also, but he was not strong, he could not do hard work, he often had such pains in his head-the doctor said it was from that blow he had when he was a child-and he had only one eye. 4. Tom could never feel very happy when he saw Sam; he could never forget that day, when they were boys at school, when he threw the stone that had been the cause of all this. Oh, he wished many a time that he had never thrown that stone. 5. Do stop, boys, before you have done what you never can undo; and if you are ever standing by a pond, or by the sea, you can pick up as many stones as you like, and have a good fling without fear of doing any harm. A-gainst chil-dren pa-tient-ly fol-low-ed teach-er lin-ger-ed wait-ed turn-ed ap-pear a-fraid ev-er-y-where re-ply Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow; And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school one day-That was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school. So the teacher turned him out, Then he ran to her, and laid As if he said, I'm not afraid, You'll keep me from all harm. "What makes the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry. "O, Mary loves the lamb, you know," The teacher did reply. LESSON XV.-THE FIRST VISIT TO THE SEA.-Part 1. Ma-ry sea-side Wil-son mo-ther thought wa-ter look-ed fa-ther be-fore roll-ed some-times 1. Mary Wilson had a great treat one day. She went in the train with her father and mother to spend a day by the sea-side. She had never seen the great wide sea before. |
