Open wide on her lap the well-worn psalm book of Ainsworth, Printed in Amsterdam, the words and the music together, Rough-hewn, angular notes, like stones in the wall of a church-yard, Darkened and overhung by the running vine of the verses. Such was the book from whose pages she sang the old Puritan anthem--She, the Puritan girl, in the solitude of the forest, Making the humble house and the modest apparel of homespun Beautiful with her beauty, and rich with the wealth of her being!

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...ten or twelve are harnessed to a sled, the driver's whip makes them mad and they all get to fighting. Of course the traces get badly tangled up, and it takes a skilful driver to manage them. The Esquimaux go to a great deal of trouble in training their dogs, quite as much, if not more, than we do with our horses. They have no reins, to guide them with, but use a very keen whip as some people do when driving oxen. This whip has a long lash made of leather which is very soft but tough. The driver is cracking this whip and calling to his dogs almost all the time, so you know there is a great deal of noise going on when an Esquimau team is passing. When a large number of dogs is hitched to a sled, the quickest and smartest is chosen for leader. It is very necessary that this leader be active and have a keen scent, for they often have to travel over long stretches of snow with nothing to show where the path is. The leader puts his nose close to the ground and finds the way, while the others trust to him to know all about it. The driver trusts him, too. It is said that a team of six or seven dogs will draw from eight hundred to a thousand pounds fifty or sixty miles a day. Esquimau dingy necessary Esquimaux hitched tangled bushy deserve thousand brindled especially chosen LESSON XXVI. Waiting to Grow. Little white snowdrop, just waking up, Violet, daisy and sweet buttercup, Think of the flowers that are under the snow, Waiting to grow! And think what hosts of queer little seeds, Of flowers and mosses, of ferns and of weeds, Are under the leaves and under the snow, Waiting to grow! Think of the roots getting ready to sprout, Reaching their slender brown fingers about, Under the ice and the leaves and the snow, Waiting to grow! Only a month or a few weeks more, Wil...
