I wish she could hear it, and come and take care of it.

8. Do you think its dam is dead?

9. Yes; she is dead. How shall we do to bring up this poor lamb?

10. We shall feed it with bread and milk.

11. What is a lamb called, that is brought up without its dam?

12. It is called a cosset. We will feed this lamb very often with warm, new milk, and he will soon be able to run about and play.

13. Then he will follow us like a dog. When the grass grows, we will take the cosset with us into the pasture, and see him eat the short grass, that grows grows on the hills. 14. Where will the cosset stay, when he does not go with us? Will he go with the sheep and lambs, and live with them?

15. No; he will go with the cows, or stay near the house, like the hens and ducks. The cows will not hurt him.

16. But will not Tray hurt him, if he stays near the house, or goes with us? 17. No; when Tray sees that we are fond of the cosset, and do not want him

to go away, then Tray will be kind to him, and will not chase him.

Do not say foller for follow, nor paster for pas

ture, nor chasin for chasing.

1. What a fine rain we have had to-day. It is gone now; the sky is blue; there is not a cloud to be seen. How bright the sun shines.

2. Let us take a walk in the fields, to see the lambs play on the hills; to see the cows and sheep eat grass; and to hear the birds sing their sweet songs.

3. Look, how the lambs skip and play. Hark, how the birds sing. Sweet birds; you would all come to me, I would feed you.

5. No; it is too late. time for us to return. with us, the next time we come this way.

6. I think our dogs, Pinch and Tray, should have come with us, as they like so well to run in the fields. If they were here, how they would set up their tails, and run from field to field.

7. If they were here, they might scare the sheep and pretty lambs, and then we should wish them at home. Dogs sometimes kill sheep and lambs, and that makes them afraid of dogs.

8. The Sun is so hot, I wish to go home. Shall we go the same way that we came?

9. No; we will go by the side of the wood. Then the trees will make us a good shade. The sun is so hot, that I feel quite tired and faint.

10. When we get to the spring by the wall, we will stop and drink some cold water. The water of that spring is very

cold; and we must not drink much of it

when we are so warm.
