Many ways are used by different people to facilitate the labour of travelling, and conveying heavy articles from place to place. Horses, and other animals, are trained, to carry people and burdens on their backs, and to draw various kinds of carriages. But where it can be practised, we know of no method more convenient, than that of going by water, in vessels or boats. Boats are used for crossing rivers, going to market, catching fish, and many other purposes: And they form a very pleasant and agreeable mode of going from place to place, across the water, when the distance is not great. And in large ships we may cross the ocean, and visit the most distant parts of the earth. In going short distances, small boats are made to pass through the water, by means of paddles or oars. But some boats, and all large vessels, have sails; and the wind blows them swiftly and gently along. It is very pleasant to sail on the water,but children should never venture in boats alone. 1 In the following words ti ci, and sci. sound like sh. 2 2 2 2 àn cient am bì tious go fac ti tious in i tial in fec tious ma gic ian 1 2 2 cre dèn tials lo gic ian mu si cian nu tri tion pro ficient pro pi tious pru den tial of fic ious po ten tial per nic ious pro vin cial They that down to the sea in ships,that do business in great waters; these see the work of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth,and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifeth up the waves thereof: They mount up to the heaven; they go down again to the depths; their soul is. melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,and he bringeth them out of their distress. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves are still. Then are they glad, because they be quiet; so he bringeththem to their desiredhaven, Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men. 1 1 co hè sion ci ta tion cre a tion Note. tion, and sion, do na tion de vo tion de tru sion de lu sion e mo tion e va sion e qua tion lo ca tion li ba tion le ga tion no ta tion o rà tion sound be bu pro fu sion re ple tien vo ca tion MARY. ces sa tion 2 1 cor ro sion con fuion con clusion allu sion ad he sion ex clu sion oc ca sion sen sa tion And so you do not like to spell, Then bring me all your books again :- 2 2 con sùmp tion com mis sion as cen sion as ser tion ac ces sion at ten tion af flic tion ab seis sion ad mis sion allis ion ad di tion con trac tion col lec tion con struc tion in truc tion con june tion sub traction con vul sion sub scrip tion THE VIOLET. 1 de tràc tion de jec tion de scription de struc tion de clen sion de cep tion e mis sion mu ni tion o mis sion pre emp tion pro duction pro tec tion pre sump tion re ten tion re pul sion Down in a green, and shady bed, Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, And yet it was a lovely flow'r, Yet there it was content to bloom, In modest tints array'd; And there it spread its sweet perfume, Then let me to the valley go, THE ORPHAN. My father and mother are dead, The sight made me bitterly cry: I said, and is this the dark room, Where my father and mother must lie? I cast my eyes round me again, In hopes some protector to see; I groan'd, though I said not a word; DEATH OF AN INFANT. How solemn did the moment seem, One hour what beauty deck'd its face! And all its active powers are fted. Who could behold with tearless eye, And witness such a heartfelt scene, Born just to weep, and smile, and die, Nor understand what pleasures mean |
