Then I must try to be
Pleasant, and sweet, and mild;
For the good God who made me loves
A kind, obedient child.

MORNING HYMN.
[Illustration: Letter N.]
Now again the yellow sun
Shines upon my window-pane;
Now anothor day's begun,
I can laugh and play again.
I must try to-day to be
Kind in all I say and do;
Then will God be pleased with me,
And mamma will love me too.
For she says that God above
Loves to see a little child
Sweet and gentle as the dove,
Like the pretty lamb so mild.
EVENING HYMN.
[Illustration: Letter N.]
Now the sun hath gone to rest,
Stars are coming faint and dim,
And the bird within his nest
Sweetly sings his evening hymn.
Have I tried mamma to mind?
Was I gentle in my play?
Have I been a true and kind,
Pleasant little girl to-day?
Then will God take care of me
Kindly, through the long dark night;
Bright and happy, I shall see
Once again the morning light.
CROSS LOOKS.
[Illustration: Letter W.]
Why, what a frightful face is this!
And what has happened, sir, amiss?
Come, let me wipe these tears away,
And see no more cross looks to-day.
