Fast Asleep

The Broken Cup.

Laura looks very grave this morning, and no wonder, for she has broken a tea-cup.

Baby and His Doll.

Baby is busy this morning with his doll. “Bruno” is watching by his side, ready to bark at any one who comes near.

The Kind Brother.

Edward is a good kind brother, for, though he has his own lessons to learn, he is holding the thread for his sister Kate, whom he is very fond of, and tries to please as much as he can.

Curious John.

You are too impatient and curious, Master John. Far better to have waited till papa had himself shown you the pretty toys he has brought you from the fair.

The sun has been up long ago, but baby is still asleep, with dolly by his side. We will not wake him, for he went to bed last night very tired. He had been out all day playing in the garden, and seemed quite glad when it was time for him to go to bed, so we will let him sleep a little longer. This will do him more good just now than being out in the hot sun.
