 PREFACE.
In presenting a third volume of the Nature Readers to the children of
our land, and to their parents and teachers, I feel it both a duty and a
delight to thank those who have so cordially and sympathetically
welcomed a new departure in School-Book Literature.
I have not sought to model these Readers upon any pattern
previously set, but to make them the outcome of what I have learned,
by observation, of the receptive and retentive powers of children.
I desired to impart useful and needful knowledge, in a fashion which
should not be burdensome, and which should strongly impress young
minds.
I have had no hobby of book-making, nor of style to follow. My one
idea has been to benefit the child, and to that end I have directed my
whole effort.
I sing an old song when I say, that we are a nervous race, and our
children are more intensely nervous than their parents. The antidote
for this nervousness, and its consequent train of disasters, is to be
found in the open air, in healthful out-of-door exercise, in the serene
calm of nature, in the peaceful joys which the investigation of nature
affords us.
If we can open wide the gates of “the fairy-land of science,”—if we
can bring the child near to the heart of nature,—if we can absorb his
hours of leisure, and many of his hours of brain-work, in the study of
nature out of doors, we shall have done much toward making him
robust in body, sound in mind, cheerful of disposition, and useful in
the future.
THE AUTHOR
 TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
Once more we are going out together by the Sea-side and the Way-
side. We shall now learn more of our Great Mother, the Earth, and of
her many children.
Once I read a tale of a queen, who gave all that she had to her
youngest son, and ordered all his brothers and sisters to be his
servants. I did not think that that was fair.
But something very like this has happened to us in this world. We
human beings are the last and youngest of living things, and yet all
the rest serve us, and are for our use. In this book I shall tell you the
secret of this. I shall tell you of the flowers and trees; they are the
earth’s eldest children. I shall tell you how they have taken insects
and birds for their partners, and have gone into business, to feed the
world.
We shall look at those pretty partners in their work and play.
The birds have some lovely stories to tell us in their songs.
And then, we shall put on some new spectacles, and look into the
brooks, and ponds, and into the rivers and seas, and see the Fin
Family, which feel so safe, hiding deep down in the waters.
And when you have learned a little of the wonderful way in which all
the parts of the world fit together, and work together, I want you to
think how wise and good is the great God who made all.

Sea-side and Way-side.

 LESSON I.
THE GREAT MOTHER.
“What are you doing?” I asked a boy to-day.
“Only digging in the dirt,” he said.
“And what is that in your little cart?”
“Nothing but dirt.”
“And what is this that you call dirt?”
He did not reply. An older boy, who had read more, said: “Dirt is the
top crust of the ball, called the earth, on which we live.”
“Very good. Now my lad, what is dirt worth?”
The boy who was digging said: “Ho! Dirt is worth nothing.”
“Suppose that I could take away from you all that you get from the
earth. What would you have left?”
“Many things,” said the little boy.
“Well,” said the older boy, “we should have no fruit, nor vegetables,
for these come from the ground. We should have no bread. Wheat
grows from the ground. No sugar, for sugar is made of beets and
sugar-cane.”
“And,” I said, “you would have no milk, butter, or cheese. For the cows
must eat grass and other plants, from which to make milk.”
“That is so,” said the big boy. “And, since it is so, you may say we
should have no meat. The animals must eat plants, of some kind, or
they could not live and grow.”
The boy who was digging now looked at the dirt with more respect.
“So you would lose all your food. For food is animal or vegetable, and
so comes from the dirt. Let us see about your clothes. You would lose
all cotton and linen clothes. For cotton and flax grow out of the
ground. You would lose all silk, woollen, and leather, clothes. The silk-
worms, sheep, and other animals feed on plants that grow in the dirt.
You must lose your straw hats also. Straw is the stem of a plant.”
“I should have my house,” said the boy who was digging.
“Let us see about that. Your house is made of stone, brick, or wood,
plaster, paint. All these things come from the earth. Bricks are clay,
burned. Wood grew in the ground as trees. Plaster is lime, sand, and
so on; these come from the earth. The paint is made of oil and ground
minerals. We get these minerals from the earth. If I could take from
you all you have from the earth, you would have no house, nor food,
nor clothes. You must go and sit out-of-doors, in a very sad state.”
“At least,” said the boy, “I should have my little iron shovel, and my
little iron cart.”
“No, you would not,” said the big boy. “Iron is dug out of the earth. You
would have no stove, no knives, no such things as pots, and pans, to
cook in! Ha! ha! ha!”
“I have a box full of pennies,” said the small boy, “and dimes, and
gold dollars; I would buy more things.”
“All your money will be gone with the rest of your losses. The
pennies, dimes, dollars, are made of metals. Metals come from rocks
that are found in the earth,” I said. “Also, all the dishes in your house
are made of clay and metal. You would have to lose them. All your
furniture is of wood, metal, and leather, you would have to lose that.
But you would soon starve without food. So it makes little matter what
else you lose.”
“I should sit on the sea-shore, and catch fish to eat!” cried the small
boy.
“You must then catch them without hook, net, or line. But let us begin
on the fish, and take away all that feed on sea plants. Next let us take
away all that feed on fish that have fed on plant-life. Soon you will be
in a sad way for fish to catch.”
“So all that we have comes from the earth?”
“Yes. The earth is a great treasure box, out of which come all things
which we see about us. It is for this reason that we say, ‘Mother
Earth.’ In old times people said the earth was the great mother of all
things. So do not speak with scorn of that dirt, which is ‘the earth’s
top-crust.’ What would you have without it?
“What would you be without it? Your flesh, blood, bones, are built up
of what you eat and drink. If all the things that come out of the earth
were taken from you, you would soon perish.
“Just now you found that you would have no house to live in, and no
clothes to wear. So, soon your mind and soul would have no body-
house to live in; no flesh-clothes to wear. Every part of you, except
the mind and soul part, comes from the earth.
“When we look at the earth that which we first notice is the plant, or
vegetable. By plants we mean the trees, grasses, and other things,
which grow out of the soil. Plants are Mother Earth’s first children.
“Beside the plants which grow in the soil, there are plants which are
called air-plants, because they grow in the air. Also there are plants
which grow in water. These are called water, or aquatic plants.”
We will now have some lessons on plant-life.
 LESSON II.
THE EARTH’S ELDEST CHILD.
Perhaps you have looked at the books of some of the elder pupils in
your school. Did you see one marked “Botany”? Did you see in it
pictures of flowers, and parts of flowers? Botany is the study of plants.
These lessons in your Nature Reader are not to teach you botany.
They are only to tell you some of the curious things about plants.
When you read these lessons, you will like plants, not only because
they are so very pretty and useful, but because of the wonders of the
plant-world.
I shall tell you some of the secrets of the wonder-world of plants.
Then I hope you will wish to find out more of the secrets for
yourselves.
I once asked Tom, “What is a plant?”
“A plant!” cried Tom, “oh, a plant is—a potato, a turnip;” and off he
went, quite satisfied with his answer.
He was content, because he knew so little. If he had known more, his
answer would not have suited him so well.
You will get a peep at the wonders of plant-life from this little story. I
said to a class of girls, who had studied botany for a year: “What is a
plant? I will give you half an hour to find an answer that will suit you.”
One girl said in a hurry: “A plant is not a living thing!”
“O you silly girl!” cried all the rest. “A plant grows. Only living things
can grow. Why do you say ‘a living tree,’ and ‘a dead tree,’ if plants
are not living things? Did you never see a plant dying or dead?”
“A plant,” said another, “is a living thing that does not breathe.”
“Oh, but it does breathe. It breathes air.”
“A plant is a living thing that eats only minerals.”
“Ah! but some plants eat little bugs, and meat.”
“A plant is a living thing that does not move.”
“It does move! Does not the vine climb up the tree, or by the side of
the house? Do not some flowers turn each day to follow the path of
the sun? Does not the wild ivy run over the ground? Then there is a
plant in the desert that moves to find water. It gets loose from the
sand. It bends up into a circle or wheel. Then the wind rolls it along,
until it reaches a moist place where it can live. There it roots again.”
“A plant is a living thing without blood.”
“Its sap, or juice, is its blood. It serves the plant as blood serves man.
The sap is as much the blood of the plant as the white fluid in the
jelly-fish, the insect, or the barnacle, is blood for them.[1] All animals
do not have thick, red blood.”
“A plant is a thing that does not sleep,” said one girl.
“Yes, but plants do sleep. We learned that once.”
“A plant is a living thing, without feelings.”
“Some of them seem to have feeling. They move or shrink when you
touch them. A star-fish, as he breaks himself up, does not seem to
have more feeling than a plant.”
“Let us say,” said one, “that a plant is a live thing, that grows in the
soil.”
“But there are plants that grow only in air, or in water, or in other
plants. There are plenty of plants that grow in bread, cheese, milk,
and preserves.”[2]
Finally they said: “A plant is a living thing, generally rooted in the
earth, and growing from a seed, or something like a seed. A plant has
no brain, and no nerves.”
Their teacher told them that the great point about a plant is, that the
plant eats minerals and turns them into other substances. Animals
get most of the mineral food that they eat from the plants, after the
plants have made it over.
Now, from what this class said, you have learned some of the curious
things about plants. Plants live, breathe, grow, move, eat, drink, and
sleep.
More than this, I shall show you how plants serve for clocks. Plants
also can tell you about the weather, whether it will be wet or dry.
And the plants have gone into business, and have partners. The birds
and insects are the plant’s partners. The plants live, and grow, and go
into business, just to make other plants. But the end of the business
is, that the world is fed.
Do you now think that you should like to learn about plants? Here are
a few facts to begin with.
Plants are so different in size that they are among the largest and the
smallest things in the world. The great trees in California are so large
that a hundred people can stand upon one stump. They are as tall as
the tallest towers in the world. Twenty men on horses can ride into the
hollow of one tree. Other very great trees are found in other parts of
the world.[3] The largest trees are in Australia and California.
In other places there are also very big trees. In New Jersey I once
saw a large, hollow tree, in which a goat lived. He was a big goat. He
jumped about and slept inside the tree. When the children called him
he came out to draw their cart. In another hollow tree I saw a very
nice play-house.
While some plants are so large, others are very small. There is a little
pond weed, which, root and all, is not so big as a grain of rice. Other
plants are as small as pin heads. Others are so small that you cannot
see them without a microscope.
Plants differ as much in age as in size. Some grow and die in a few
hours, or a day. Others live only a year. Some trees are said to live
