A MUSICAL EVENING.

This is a very pleasant way of spending a winter evening, and my young friends like it much. All young folks should learn music.

THE LITTLE COOKS.

Lucy and Jane are fond of playing at cooks, and seem very busy this morning. Lucy is standing on a stool stirring something in a pot, and Jane is watching the cups on the little stove. I hope the children will not burn themselves, nor make a mess on the floor, or mama will be very cross.

THE WHEEL OFF.

Oh dear, another accident! Only yesterday the third wheel came off the lamb that little sister used to drag about the room. And now a wheel has come off the pretty chaise in which dolly rides. But do not cry, baby; we must ask papa to mend it, and then the chaise will go as well as ever.

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.
