BY THE SEASIDE.O N the sands, early in the morning, with the sea breezeblowing freshly-with our spades, and dolls, andflowers,-what happy children we are! There is a pleasantsound of the great waves rippling over the smooth sands,and the white sails of the far-off ships look very pretty.Edith has brought her doll to enjoy the fresh air with her;Milly a fine bough from the red rose tree, which she meansto plant in the sands. She is so young that she does notknow the great sea will come creeping and creeping up, tillall the sands are covered, and the poor little rose treedrowned. George has been gathering what he calls sea-apples; they are only coloured pebbles. He brought abook with him, but I do not think he will read much ofit to-day. Little Mary is happy in digging only; that isplay enough for her. Some other children are climbing intothe fishermen's baskets, and pretending that they are goingto sea in them. One little girl has upset her make-believeboat, and is falling out of it.Here is Aunt Louisa bringing little Freddy to play withus. We will ask him to help us build a sand castle.

BATHING IN THE SEA.B ATHING in the sea is very nice. It is so pleasant tojump about in the cool water. Aunt Anna has carriedlittle Mary in, and given her a dip; but Mary is frightened,and clings to her aunt. The water took away her breathand wet her pretty curls. A little of it got into her mouth,and it was very salt and nasty. Her eldest sister Ada wishesAunt Anna to let her take the child, and put her in again;but Mary will not go to her, and aunt says she will take herinto the machine, and dress her.THE ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.One afternoon, papa and mamma, and the aunts, and allthe children sat together under the shadow of a large fish-ing smack, watching the big ships sail past, and the merrylittle waves chase each other over the sands. Then somemen came by, with black faces, very strangely dressed, andbegan to play and sing to amuse them.They sang negro songs to tunes the children had oftenheard played on street organs. I don't think they couldsing very well, but they did their best to please, and so Ithink they deserved the money which papa gave them.

A DONKEY-RIDE ON THE SANDS.A UNT LOUISA is giving Freddy a ride on a donkey,walking by his side herself. Freddy says that he shouldlike to gallop all by himself over the sands; but Aunty willnot let him. She thinks that he might be shaken out of hissaddle. Mary and Milly have worked so hard with theirspades that they are quite tired, and have lain down andfallen fast asleep on the sands. The great sea is singingtheir lullaby, and old Rover, who loves the seaside as muchas the children do, is faithfully keeping watch very nearthem.GOING FOR A SAIL.After dinner, Aunt Anna told the little boys that shewould take them out for a sail. They were very glad, andran by her side down the sands 'till they came to the nicestboat she could find. It belonged to a man whose name wasCobby. But when Anna was stepping in, she looked a littleafraid, and said to the boatman, "I hope we shall be quitesafe, as I have the children with me." "Oh, yes, Ma'am,"said Cobby. "We will take great care of you and the younggentlemen, and the sea is as smooth as a pond."

THE RETURN FROM FISHING.T HIS poor man has been fishing. What.a number ofwhitings he has caught! His little children are yerymuch pleased: little Jane is leaning over the basket to touchthe pretty fish; and Anne tries to count them as they slipinto it. Johnny, who is sitting on the boat, helped hisfather to catch them. The children will have a nice supperto-night. In the sea swim the great whale, and the cruelshark, which can eat a man, and the silver herrings,* andthe mackerel, and the tiy 'sprats.AT PLAY ON THE SANDS.Edith has had great fun burying Mary and her doll inthe sand. Mary sat down with her back against a boat, andput Dolly quite clQse to the sea, with a bdok open before herto read, if she can. Then Edith and George covered themboth with sand up to their waists., Mary said it was justlike going to bed, but that she should want to get up soon.Milly"has been filling her bucket with shells; they arethe homes in which small fish have lived. Milly thinks sheshould like to live in a shining shell, and float on the sea.i

THE TINY LIFEBOAT.T HE fisher boys who live by the great sea are merry littlefellows. They love to paddle with bare feet in the water,and to sail tiny boats, which they make themselves. Thesetwo boys are sailing a boat they made themselves out of anold piece of wood which they picked up on the shore. Thewind has driven it close up to the old wreck that has stoodso long on the sands; and Johnny says that they must nowcall it the "Lifeboat," for it has gone off to help the poorship that is on shore.BY THE SIDE OF THE GREAT BOAT.One morning Mary and Milly ran over the sands tillthey came to a large boat-they called it a big ship. AndMilly said that it would be of great use to them. They couldbuild a sand house against it; one side of which could beof wood. " The boat will make the wooden side, you see," shesaid. But little Mary was tired; so she sat down on thesand under the shade of the boat, and said she did not wantto build a house; she liked best to sit still in a cool place.

FISHERMEN MENDING A BOAT.TnHE fishermen are mending their boat with wood andpitch. The waves have knocked in the side. The pitchwill keep the water from getting between the planks. Whenthe boat is fit to float again, they will go out and catch morefish. The fisherman is often wet and cold, when the rainfalls and the storms blow. But he knows GOD can and willtake care of him on the great sea, let it roar ever so loud.GOD made the deep sea and the rough wind. He can say tothem, "Peace! be still;" and they must obey Him.THE DAY'S WORK DONE.It is sunset, and Cobby and his boy are carrying hometheir fish. They have caught some lobsters, which they willsell. Then they will have money to buy food and clothes forthemselves. Who put the fish in the sea ? GOD did. So itis GOD who gives poor fishermen their daily bread.It is time for us to go to sleep now. To-morrow we willgo down again on the sands, and dig, and build houses, and.pick up the shells, which will sing us a sea song when weare at home again, far from the fresh seaside.
