Let us gath-er up the sun-beams, | Let us find our sweet-est com-fort

Ly-ing all around our path: Let us keep the wheat and roses, Cast-ing out the thorns and

chaff:

In the bles-sings of to-day, With a pa-tient hand remov-ing All the briars from the way. Then scat-ter seeds of kind-ness For our reap-ing by and by.

Lesson 57.-Tuesday Morn. Write and Learn. Geography.

PARTS OF THE SEA.

There is three times more water than land on the earth's surface.

An O'-cean is one of the larg-est por-tions of salt water.* The water of the ocean is always salt, and it is therefore not good to drink.

There are five oceans

The At-lan'-tic, the Pa-cif'-ic, the In -di-an, the Arc'-tic,+ and the An-tarc'-tic.t

These oceans are all really one piece of water, and there is nothing to tell where one begins and the other ends.

The British Islands are in the ATLANTIC Ocean.

The INDIAN Ocean is hot and often stormy. The ARCTIC and ANTARCTIC Oceans are very cold, and mostly covered with ice.

The PACIFIC Ocean is larger than all the land in the world.

Lesson 59.-Thursday Morn. Grammar. Write & Learn. A VERB is a word which tells something about a NOUN or PRONOUN.*

A VERB makes an AS-SER-TION, telling what a thing does, or what it has done to it.

Birds fly.

Here "fly" tells what the birds do.

The fire burns.

Here "burns" tells what the fire does.

The sheep is killed.

Here is killed" tells what is done to the sheep.

Every sentence must contain a Noun and a Verb, or a Pronoun and a Verb.*

EXERCISE.-Pick out the VERBS.-Cats catch mice. My pony trots. The donkey kicked me. The knife cut my finger. John and James ran a race. Mary tore her dress, and her mother mended the torn place. Run quickly, it rains very fast. Fanny, come and read to me. Light the candle, and go to bed. Look at that animal.

PSALM IX., verses 1 and 2; OR ELSE LEARN—

SCATTER SEEDS OF KINDNESS-(continued).

Strange, we nev-er praise the

music,

Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown!

Strange, that we should slight the vi-o-lets,

Till the love-ly flow-ers are gone!

Strange, that sum-mer skies and
sun-shine

Ne-ver seem one-half so fair,
As when win-ter's snow-y pin-i-ons
Shake the white down in the air.

Then scat-ter seeds of kind-ness
For our reap-ing by and by.

*Though the Pronoun is not included in the work for Standard II. (Schedule II.) it properly belongs to it, and the class will not make satisfactory progress unless the Personal Pronouns, at least, are fairly well known. The list in Lesson 49 should be got by heart thoroughly.

Lesson 62.-Tuesday Morn. Write and Learn. Geography.

PARTS OF THE SEA.

A Sea is a small-er portion of salt water than an ocean. *

The IRISH SEA and the NORTH SEA are on opposite sides of our own country of England. They both form part of the Atlantic Ocean. There are many seas in different parts of the world, all of them connected with the oceans.

The largest sea is the ME-DI-TER-RA'-NE-AN SEA, between Europe and Africa.

The water of the seas is sometimes not so salt as that of the ocean, because so many rivers, with fresh water, run into them.

Or write 30 spellings out of any book, each word having six or more letters in it, and learn the first 12.

Lesson 69.-Thursday Morn. Grammar. Write and Learn. Two verbs are often used together in order to make sense. The first helps to make the meaning of the second plainer.

[blocks in formation]

When two or more verbs are used together to make sense they are called a COMPOUND VERB.

EXERCISE.-Pick out the COMPOUND VERBS. The little dog has left its mother. I shall have eaten my dinner before you will be able to come and see me. My watch is not going.* I shall miss the post if I am not quick. Have you learnt your spellings?* Show me your copy-book. It is well written.* God sees me; I cannot hide anything from him.
