Stories for Children By Cousin Sarah.

Collection of short stories and poems for young children written in the 1850s.

 

The Antelope bounds o'er the grassy plain,
As light and as free as the air;
And happy as all little children should be,
Who have never known sorrow or care. 

THE ANTELOPE.

When little Susie's father came home from New York he brought
her a new  picture-book, with which she was, of course, delighted,
and thanked him  over and over again. And then, like all other
little girls and little  boys, when they get a new book, she sat down
to look at the pictures. In a  few moments she ran to her aunt, who
sat sewing by the window, and said,  "Look aunt Mary! what a
pretty Antelope! Did you ever see one?"  "No,  Susie," said she,
"they do not live here. They are found in a country  called Asia,
many thousand miles away. They are very beautiful little  animals,
only about as high as this table; but they are very timid, and  run so
swiftly that no dog can overtake them. They are sometimes called 
gazelles, and ladies have them for pets, although I suppose you
would  prefer to make a pet of your little white kitten. "

STORIES FOR CHILDREN
