THIRD EDITION

RALEIGH, N, C.BRANSON, FARRAR & CO.

FAYETTEVILLE STREET.

IPRKFAJDE.

THIS little volume is designed for small children;

and the only merit the author claims, is, that it isadapted to the young mind.

Since children very rarely le^rn to read in tho

Primer, we

-

: deem it unnecessary to take up muchtpacfe with reading lessons.

The competent teacher will understand how tause the work.

TRUMPET.

IESS O N U,

ftow dear child, hc'-e is a song you mustlearn to sing. It is called

MAPI5 !' IAKDThere is a happy land,

Far, far away ; *Where saints in glory stand,Bright, hrigbt as .day.

Oh how they sweetly sing ?Worthy' is our Saviour King,

Loud let his praises ring,Praise, praise for aye.

*

Come to this happy land,Come, come away

;

Why will ye doubting stand,Why'still delay?

O we shall happy be ?When from sin and sorrow free

Lord we shall reign with thee,Blest, blest for aye.

.- 1)1X11-; PKilUEil

Bright la that l-:"p;y land.

Beams every eye;Kept by a' Father's 'hand,

Love cannot ciie.

O then to glory runBe a crown and kingdom Won,And bright above the sun

We'll reign i'w avo.

All children should.[prny. Here is a pray*'

to say at night. You must learn it.

Now I lay me down to sleep*I pray the Lord my soul to kd&p ;

, And* if I die before I wake,I pray the Lord my soul to take,And this I ask for Jesus' sake,

Amen.

M A K Y ' "S LITTLE." -LAMB.

Mary had a little lamb,Its fleece was white as snow

;

And every where that Mary wentThe lamb was sure t go.

He followedjher to school one day}Which was against the rule-

It made the children laugh and playTo see a lamb at school.

Dixit: riiiMEE..

So tbe teacher turned him out,But still lie lingered near

;

And waited patiently about,Till Mary did appear.

And then he ran to her and laidHis head upon her arm,

As if he said, I'm not afraid,You'll keep me from all harm.

I W A N T O BE AN AHGE1.I want to be an angel,And with, the angels stand,

A crown upon my forehead,A harp within my hand.There right before the Saviour

So glorious and so bright,I'd make the sweetest music,And praise Him day and night.

I never should be weary,"Nor ever shed a tear

;

Nor ever know a sorrow,Nor ever feel a fear.

But blessed, pure and holy,I'd dwell in Jesus' sight,

And with ten thousand thousand,Praise Hi in both clay and night.

DIXIE fKIMTK.

I know I'm weak and sinful,But Jesus will fuirjvc,.

For many little childrenHave gone to Heaven to liw

Dear Savior.r, when' I languishAnd lay me down to die,

O send a shining r.ngol'To hear me to the sky.

And there before my Saviour,So glorious and so bright,

I'll join die heavenh; music,And praise Him clay and nigh 1".
