PHILADELPHIA:
PUBLISHED BY KIMBER AND CONRAD,
NO. 93, MARKET STREET.
MERRITT, PRINTER.
A walk in the garden.
Strawberries grow on little vines.
What troubles the old woman?
We cannot see ourselves in this Glass.
Children obey your mother.
The Swedes Church.
Do not rob the poor farmer of his fruit.
Some trees bear fruit, but this one has none on now.
Nice Folks.
Nine Pins.
Do not drink too much.
She walks among the tombs.
Run fast, or she will be gone.
M. stands for Master, Mistress and Mother.
What are they doing here?
The Cullender belongs to the kitchen.
Now Martha, do get up.
Give the Stays to Grandmother.
Take down the sail when the wind blows too hard.
We cannot see well at night.
What a curious figure she is!
Water is boiled in a pot or in a kettle.
Do be kind to the poor black boy.
A kite should never be raised in the street.
Walk in, and rest in the cottage.
This goat has horns and a beard—he seems to have a mind to butt the old tree.
Dogs are not often put to work—Drive on old man and do not overset.
This is a trumpeter—he is in a great hurry—Stage men and post riders sometimes blow a kind of trumpet.
It is difficult to travel where there is no road.
This turkey looks as if she had been in a shower of rain—perhaps she is not very well.
The bench looks pretty strong; perhaps it will not break down.
It is good to be industrious—when our work is done, we may have time to read.
Please to walk in, and take a seat by the fire and warm yourselves.
This man shoots at random: he will kill no birds. Little boys should not meddle with guns.
A ship sails on the sea, it can be seen from the rocks when a great way off.
Do not go far from the shore; the boat looks too much like a tub to be a safe one.
It is not genteel to sit back to back—always look at a person when you speak to him.
The bible is the best of all books. Children who can read in the bible, may go to Kimber & Conrad's Store and buy one for themselves.
Old folks should never forget they were once young.
A cow is a useful creature; she gives us milk; and butter and cheese are made of milk.
This poor man appears to be in distress—he has thrown his axe upon the ground.
Little birds can fly very fast—They do no harm; why should little boys delight to injure them?
The use of clothes is to cover us, and to keep us warm; what do these people wear theirs for?
A peacock can make a great show with his fine feathers; but as nature has given them, let him show them.
