. : THE PRINTER. THE TAILORS.

Do you love to hear· pretty stories These Tailors are making a new cloth coat Read from a nice little book ? · For young Arthur's papa to wear; If you wish to know how they 're printed, At this pretty picture look. How very industrious they seem to be, · Both sitting so patiently there. I wonder what pleasant pages This Printer has in the press? Little Arthur looks, and wonders to see 'l1he value an d use of his business Language can hardly express. Men working with needles and thread; But why should they not in this useful way If Koster had not cut out letters of wood, _N a...Jl:R.i:}.~ ,~ud teach all the way to be good. Be winning their own daily bread? f THE CARPENTER. THE WATCHMAKER.

See ! the Carpenter uses his plane, This man is called a Watchmaker : 'l'he shavings fall around, We could not count the time Cov'ring with graceful and waving rings If it were not for the watches, rrhe sawdust-sprinkled ground. And the old church's' chime.

He makes for people shutters · and doors, But since we thus can mark the hours) Boxes and stools of wood . Take care to use them well, . \ I think he '11 let little Harry help, So that no naughty action Because he's very good; Their wasted moments tell.

And he knows how the little boy enjoys "Tic-toe, tic-toe, tic-toe, tic-toe !" Pretending to work with his box of toys. Mind your work as well as the clock.

THE SHOEMAKER. THE BAKER. THE BLACKSMITH. THE BOAT-BUILDER. ------The- Blacksmith, with his sturdy arms, The ships go down to the great deep sea ; Is\ beating out a shoe , The sailors on board live merrily;- For poorpl ~Dobbin, our good horse; The men in the docks take every care I hope that it will do. , Strong, sound vessels for them to prepare.

Hark ! how the hammer rings and rings ; The Waterman stands upon the shore, See how the bright sparks fly, To ply his wherry the river o'er; And how the roaring fire ascends And this little boy would like to float In tongues of flame on high. In the calm water his tiny boat.

On very cold and frosty days An English boy there can scarcely be The poor folks love that cheerful blaze. Who does not love dearly the glorious sea. ( I . I \ THE- S,-HOEMAKER,. THE ·BAKER.
