JAMIE AND JESSIE.

Here are two Scotch children.. Their
names are Jamie and Jessie, and they live
in two houses, side by side. Every morn-
ing, Jamie goes away over the hills to
school, while Jessie plays around home,
and says her lessons to her mother. When
afternoon comes, she runs off to meet Jamie,
and walks home with him. Jamie likes to
have her meet him.
~ Why don't they wear shoes and _ stock-
ings? Oh! the children often go barefoot
in that country, and they are so used to it,
they don’t think anything of it.

Jessie started away in such a hurry this
afternoon, that she forgot her hat; so Jamie
is holding a big leaf over her head, to keep
the sun out of her eyes. She should not
run out without her hat.

I think she likes to have Jamie walk
with her, don’t you?
