THE BUSY BEE
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower;

THE HOOP. The hoop is a pleasant, healthy, and an amusing toy for children; but should only be used in fair weather. Charles Grey and his sister, had their hoops taken away, and got into sad disgrace, by coming home to their mamma, covered with dire. Some children disgrace themselves and injure their parents, by thoughtlessly spoiling those clothes that have been obtained for them at great expense and trouble.

GOODY TWO SHOES
Margery Meanwell and her brother Tommy were two poor ragged orphans who lost their parents when they were very young; they had nothing to support them but what they picked from the hedges, or got from the poor people, and they lay every night in a barn. Tommy had two shoes, Margery had only one, but a kind gentleman of the name of Smith, sent for the children, ordered little Margery a new pair of shoes, some clothes, and said he would take Tommy and make him a little sailor; and accordingly had a Jacket and Trowsers made for him. The parting between these two little children was very affecting.
