Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 41: Organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union; February 15, 1906Talk of the changes. That are taking place. The nights are much shorter now the sun stays longer each day. He must want to make it very warm so that many little birds will return to us. Some have already returned. Who has seen a robin? Yes, many, many robins have returned to us. Many little brooks and streams have also come back, but where did they go? 'why no, of course they did not go away, they remained here where Jack Frost turned them into ice: Jack Frost brought us so much snow and ice, enough to last a long time. He left it, perhaps, thinking it would always be snow and ice, but the bright, warm Sun comes, and oh! How that changes things. What happened to the winter gifts Jack Frost gives? Yes, indeed, the sun melts all the snow and ice into water, and how pleased we are to see it melt, for we know then that the little plants are having their first early drink. Sometimes nice, warm rain-drops come and help the snow and ice to melt faster.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 44: March 1, 1909A crowd of men were standing before the little log meeting-house on the Big Blue. It was Sunday, as you could see by the tidied appear ance of them all, and meeting had just let out. In a pioneer district, such as western Missouri was in 1833, everything gets itself talked over on the front steps of the meet ing - house, if it has front steps, or on the sunny side in the winter time - but almost never in the meet ing-house. And so it being a fine October morning, these men had come out to exchange views.Not over a trivial matter, either. There was no farmer Jones present to inquire about farmer Owen's sick cow and to prescribe fresh remedy. Nor had anybody come here to swap horses. Not a man in that crowd believed in bargaining on the Sab bath day. A weightier matter bore down on the minds of these hardy frontiersmen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Jerramy, thirty years' stage-door keeper at the Theatre Royal, Norcaster, had come to regard each successive Monday morning as a time for the renewal of old acquaintance. For at any rate forty-six weeks of the fifty-two, theatrical companies came and went at Norcaster with unfailing regularity. The company which presented itself for patronage in the first week of April in one year was almost certain to present itself again in the corresponding week of the next year. Sometimes new faces came with it, but as a rule the same old favourites showed themselves for a good many years in succession. And every actor and actress who came to Norcaster knew Jerramy. He was the first official person encountered on entering upon the business of the week. He it was who handed out the little bundles of letters and papers, who exchanged the first greetings, of whom one could make useful inquiries, who always knew exactly what advice to give about lodgings and landladies. From noon onwards of Mondays, when the newcomers began to arrive at the theatre for the customary one o'clock call for rehearsal, Jerramy was invariably employed in hearing that he didn't look a day older, and was as blooming as ever, and sure to last another thirty years, and his reception always culminated in a hearty handshake and genial greeting from the great man of the company, who, of course, after the fashion of magnates, always turned up at the end of the irregular procession, and was not seldom late for the fixture which he himself had made.At a quarter past one of a certain Monday afternoon in the course of a sunny October, Jerramy leaned over the half-door of his sanctum in conversation with an anxious-eyed man who for the past ten minutes had hung about in the restless fashion peculiar to those who are waiting for somebody. He had looked up the street and down the street a dozen times; he had pulled out his watch and compared it with the clock of a neighbouring church almost as often; he had several times gone up the dark passage which led to the dressing-rooms, and had come back again looking more perplexed than ever. The fact was that he was the business manager of the great Mr. Bassett Oliver, who was opening for the week at Norcaster in his latest success, and who, not quite satisfied with the way in which a particular bit of it was being played called a special rehearsal for a quarter to one. Everything and everybody was ready for that rehearsal, but the great man himself had not arrived. Now Mr. Bassett Oliver, as every man well knew who ever had dealings with him, was not one of the irregular and unpunctual order; on the contrary, he was a very martinet as regarded rule, precision and system; moreover, he always did what he expected each member of his company to do. Therefore his non-arrival, his half hour of irregularity, seemed all the more extraordinary."Never knew him to be late before—never!" exclaimed the business manager, impatiently pulling out his watch for the twentieth time. "Not in all my ten years' experience of him—not once.""I suppose you've seen him this morning, Mr. Stafford?" inquired Jerramy. "He's in the town, of course?""I suppose he's in the town," answered Mr. Stafford. "I suppose he's at his old quarters—the 'Angel.' But I haven't seen him; neither had Rothwell—we've both been too busy to call there. I expect he came on to the 'Angel' from Northborough yesterday."Jerramy opened the half-door, and going out to the end of the passage, looked up and down the street.
