My readers, would you like to go abroad , for just an hour or so, With little friends of different ages? Look at them in these pictured pages— Brothers and sisters you can see,—all children of one family. Their father, too, you here will find, and good Miss Earle, their teacher kind. Three years ago their Mother died, and ever since has Father tried To give his children in the Spring some tour, or treat, or pleasant thing. Said he, last Easter, "I propose, for Nellie, Dennis, Mabel, Rose, A trip abroad—to go with me to Paris and through Normandy." Then all exclaimed, "Oh! glorious!"—"But may not Bertie go with us?—" Said Rose—"We can't leave him at home." Then Father said he too should come. Turn to the Frontispiece and see the children packing busily. The next page shows them in the station at Charing Cross. Their great elation Is written plainly on their faces.—Bell rings—"Time's up—Come, take your places!" * * * * *                              The "Folkestone Express" sped on like a dream, And there lay the steamer fast getting up steam.

Says Rose, to Dennis drawing nigher, "I think the wind is getting higher;" "If a gale blows, do you suppose, we shall be wrecked?" asks little Rose. Crossing the Channel On Board Top decoration cups While chatting with Dennis, Rose lost all her fear; And the swift Albert Victor came safe to the pier At Boulogne, where they landed, and there was the train   coffee pot I B n  u w t t a o it   i t n ra g  v t e o l     t s a o k   e q   u u i p ck t l h y  e  w tr a a s v  n el o l t e   r t s h   e a ir g  i a n i t n e . nt: coffee pot On a little refreshment our party was bent. Here they are at the Buffet—for dinner they wait— And the tall garçon , André, attends them in state. At the Buffet At a separate table sits Monsieur Legros, And behind him his poodle, Fidèle, you must know, Who can dance, he's so clever, and stand and on his head, Or upon his nose balance a morsel of bread. Mabel takes up some sugar to coax him, whilst Nell Calls him to her—Fidèle understands very well— "Why! he must have learnt English, he knows what we say," Mabel cries, "See!—he begs in the cleverest way." plates Then to the Hotel on the quay they all went; To remain till the morrow they all were content: decoration After so much fatigue Father thought it was best,  decoration clock and candle For the children were weary and needed the rest. Pictured here is the room in that very Hotel, Where so cosily rested Rose, Mabel, and Nell. In the hotel room Mabel dreamed of the morrow—of buying French toys: Rose remembered the steam-pipe, and dreamed of its noise. Nellie's dreams were of home, but she woke from her trance decoration decoration Full of joy, just to think they were really in France. Very early next morning, you see them all three Looking out from their window that faces the sea. The Ships THE FIRST MORNING IN FRANCE. Here they see a pretty sight, Sunny sky and landscape bright: Fishing-boats move up and down, With their sails all red and brown. Some to land are drawing near, O'er the water still and clear, Full of fish as they can be, Caught last night in open sea. On the pavement down below, Fishwives hurry to and fro, Calling out their fish to sell— "What a noisy lot," says Nell, "What a clap—clap—clap—they make With their shoes each step they take. Wooden shoes, I do declare,
