1 | THE grandmother of these children lives in the country, and has an apple-orchard which is well known to the boys in the neighbourhood, who cast longing eyes and sometimes even put thieving hands on her pippins and greenings and large harvest apples, which hang near the fence. She has had a quantity of the finest picked and sent to town by her gardener, for some boys and girls in Philadelphia whom she loves dearly. The youngest is a generous fellow, and runs to his mother with his bands full for her, before he takes a bite. |
