About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 Excerpt: ...its way downward to form the root. The fi-bre is ver-y del-i-cate at first; the seed con-tin-ues for some time to pro-tect and to give sus-te-nance to the fi-bre. It gra-du-al-ly de-cays as the lit-tle bean-plant be-comes strong-er. The fi-brous root serves to fix the plant firm-ly in the ground. But this is not its most im-por-tant use. It al-so sucks up from the soil the jui-ces re-quir-ed by the plant. With-out its root a plant would soon die, as we see in flow-ers or branch-es cut from a plant, which die in a day or two, e-ven if put in-to wa-ter. Del'i-cate, Ex-plain', E-lapse', Jui'ces, Wifh-out'. LESSON CXIX. THE TAME ASS. Some pag-es back in this book, in the hun-dred and fifth les-son, you learn-ed some thing a-bout the wild ass of the de-sert.

His slug-gish pace is spok-en of as a re-proach to him, and he is too oft-en set down as an ob-sti-nate, stu-pid crea-ture. But this not right. The ass is by na-ture nei-ther stu-pid nor ob-sti-nate. He on-ly be-comes so through blows and ill-treat-ment. He has ma-ny good qual-i-ties which are too oft-en for-got-ten. These are some of them. He will go a long dis-tance with-out be-ing tir-ed, if you do not hur-ry him too much. He will be con-tent-ed with food which a horse would not eat if he were e-ver so hun-gry. He will learn ver-y soon to know his mas-ter, if he is kind-ly treat-ed, will come at his call, and toil brave-ly in his ser-vice. Add-ed to this, the ass is ver-y sure-foot-ed, and will as-cend and de-scend hil...
