“ ALPHABET.
[In this Alphabet the child will have to find out the animals named for the letters. Thus some slight acquaintance with Natural History will be gained in conjunction with the Alphabet.]
A stands for the Ark—where all things that had life
God saved with good Noah, his sons, and his wife.
B stands for the Bear—here a brown one you see,
Who's clinging in fear to the bough of a tree. ”

“ The sow and the little pigs all sleeping by.
Q stands for the Quagga—I think it might pass
For a very respectable partly-streaked ass.
R stands for the Raven, who boldly defies
The monkey, and at him in great anger flies. ”
