Mr. M'Leod, from the Select Committee appointed on the 18th iastaat
to take into consideration the Petition of William Corrr, praying aid
towards defra^ring the expense of publishing a Spelling Book and Treatise
upon Mercantile Arithmetic, compiled by him, submitted their Report,

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
elementary principles of our langutse. We would, therefore, recommend
the work to schoolmasters and teachers generally, throughout the Province.
{Prom the Saint John City Gazette, Febt-uary 26, 1841 .)
We consider it a very useful Book for children. The Author has well
adapted it to the capacity of the youthful mind, by omitting those words
which, from their ambiguity in pronunciation, often discourage the begin-
ner. In proportion as it becomes known, we have no doubt but that it
will be generally preferred, both by teachers and scholars.
(Frmi <&e Saint Ahdrewa Standard; FOruary 26, 1841.)
From the eursory glance which we have given it~we do not hesitate to
say, that it is better for children than any other work in the Province. >
(Front the New-Brurmoick Courier, February 27, 1 84 1 . )
Talent and experience in teaching have eminently qualified the Author
of the Spelling Book, Mr. William Gorry, tor undertaking the task of
compiling improved School Books, and the one to which we have reference
was highly approved by a Committee of the House of Assembly, and
considered superior to every other similar work in seneral < se. It appears
also te have received general commendation by other competent judges,
and it therefore only requires to be known, in order to its being generally
adopted in Schools throughout the Province. We trust Mr. Corry's exer-
tions in this instance wul at once receive such encouragement as will
induce bin to c6ntinue his labours, that in a few years we may have a set
(k School 3ooks adapted to the improvements of the age, as well as pecu-
liarly suited for instructing the youth of the jProvmce,— requisites of
which those at present in use are manifestly deficient.
iFrom the Sunt John Amarar^h, March, 1841.)
In our estimation, the work is destined to become a most popular one
in this* Province^ The systematic arrangement exhibited throuithout the
work, and the distinct, comprehensive, and progressive run of the words,
both m spelling and reading lessens, must tend, in a great measure, to
facilitate the progress of the young in acquiring a correct knowledge of
the rudimints of an English education. The work is highly creditable
to the Author, and exhibits throughout much taste and sound judgment,
and proves his knowledge of the task he has performed.
(From the Woodstock Tel^raph, March 6, 1841.)
We ar« satisfied that it is decidedly the best now in use in the Province.
The work is carried on m such a regular gradation as makes it admirably
v. adapted'to facilitate the progress of the learner.
{Prom the Saini John Observer, March 9, 1841 .)

PREFACE.
Notwithstanding the large sums of money which have been-
appropriated to e4ucational purposes in this Province, much remains
yet to be done for the improvement of the « Parish Schools."
Among the many deficiencies which present themselves, a principal
one 18 the want ofbooks adapted to the infant mind.
Many works of this kind have recently appeared, written by
gentlemen of distrngu^hed abUiUes and learning ; but men of the
most profound knowledge may, from their inexperience in teaching
tlw lower classes of learners, be incompetent to accommodate Uie
arrangement of the lessons to the capacity of children. I speak the
r rr^ffi uT '"^^^^g^^^ ^^^^^^^ when I say that, in all these,
the most difficult lessons are, in many canes, placed first in order
After a perusal of the Spelling Books of Dilwortb, Fenning, Manson. '

oTni' ^'. ""^'"n ''^'^^'^'' '^'^^y acquainted with the alphabet
cannot possibly spell without the teacher's assistance ;- a circum-
stance discouraging to children, as they always dislike difficulties,
especially at a:f early stage of their progress.
During my experience as a teacher, I have fr^qu ,r selected
two pupils who, after having learned the alphabet, appeared to be
of equal abilities: tlie one I taught the lessons according to the
arrangement of Dilworth, &c. ; the other, in learning dissyllables.
I instructed to pass by all the more difficult words; this course I
pursued also in trisyllables ;- and the result was, that, upon his
gomg a second time over the lessons, he was found to have acquired
by experience so much knowledge of the sound and power of the
letters, that those words which, at first, would have tended to
puzzle and confound him, he could, unaided, then spell himself, w.tli
very few excepUons; and that he was qualified for reading son e
months before the other. "Monosyllables," says Murray! "are
easy and familiar to children." Words of three letters may be

The comma represents the ^shortest pause; the semicolon, a
pause double that of the comma ; the colon, double that of the
semicolon; and the period, double that of the colon. The
pauses that are made in the natural flow of speech, have, in re-
ality, no definite and invariable proportions.
COMMA.
The Comma usually separates those parts of a sentence
nhich, though very closely connected in sense, require a pause
between them ; as, « They prayed, and said. Thou, Lord, who
Ivuowest the hearts of all men, show whether of tliese two thou
liast chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostle-
ship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell."
SEMICOLON.
The Senjdcolon is used for dividing a compound sentence into
such parts as are not so closely connected as those which arc
separated by a coimwa, nor yet so iittie dependent upon one
another as those which are distinguished by a colon ; as, "That

THE LION AND THE MOUSE.'
T. A no-ble li-on, faint with heat, and wea-ry with hard
hunt-mg, lay down to re-fresh him-self with a nap in the en-
trance of a large cave. While he was a-sleep, a num-ber of
mice ran o-ver his back, and wa-ked him.
2. Up-on this, start-ing up in a rage, and clap-ping his paw
up-on one of them, "You li>-tle scram-bling rogue !'^ said he
how came you to be so bold as to dis-turb my rest ? But I
war-i-ant you I will put an end to your sau-cy pranks for the
time to come.
a "In-deed, sir," said the Iit-tle crea-ture, "I meant no
harm ; upon my word and hon-our, I did not. Be-sides, sir,
you see 1 am a mouse, and it would" be a great dis-grace to
such a no-ble beast as the mon-arch of the for-est, to take re-
vengej)n such a lit-tte thing as I am."
4. The good ll-ui. could not help laugh-ing at his ex-cuse ;
but as he thought there was some rea-son in what he said, he
was con-tent to let him go. '

for-est in soairch of his prey, he had the ill luck to run into a
strong net, which had been laid for him by the hun-tera ; and,
not be-ing a-ble to f< ce his way out of it, down he fell, and set
up such a feai-ful roar as made the groufid trem-ble un-der
liim.
6. The poor mouse, krtow-ijng the voice, in a mo-ment ran
as fast as he could to see what was the mat-ter. When he
c»me to the spot, and be-held the li-on foam-ing at the mouth
with rage, "Come, no~ble sir," said he, "let me beg of you
not to dis-turb your-self; your poor lit-tle scram-bling rogue
will set you free, or die for it."
7. The mouse was as good as his word ; for to work he went
in an in-stant, a«id with his sharp lit-tle teeth gnaw-ed in two
the knots and -mesh-es of the net, and left the no-ble li-on to
go where he pleas-ed.
8. We may learn from this fa-ble, that there is no per-son so
lit-tle but that the great-est may, at some time Or oth-er, stand
in need of his help.

THE CHIMNEY-SWEEPER.
1. When they had done break-fast, his moth-ek lent Hen-ry
a lit-tle book for chil-dren, and lei him read Ae sto-ry of the
poor blind fid-dler, with which Hen-ry was ve-ry much pleas-
ed ; and then she let Lu-cy read tife fol-low^ing sto-ry.
2. " A man, ri-ding near a town call-ed Read-itig, saw a lit-tle
chim-nejr-sweep-er ly-mg in the dirt, who seem-ed to be in
great pain, and he ask-ed him.what was the mat-ter ; and the
chiia-ney-sweep-er said, that he had fell-en down, and bro-ken
his arm, and hurt his leg, so that he was not a-ble to walk.
3. "And the man, who was ve-ry good-na-tu-red, got off bis
horse, and put the chim-ney-sweep-er up-on it, and walk-ed by
ihe side of the hors<^ and held the boy on, till he came to
Read-ing.
4. « When he came to Read-ing, he put the boy un-der tlie
care of an old wo-man, whom he knew there ; and he paid a
sur-geon for set-ting his arm, and gave the wo-man mon-ey for
the trou-ble ifvhich she would have in ta-king car of the boy,
and the ex-pense which she would be at in feed-inghim, till he
should be a-ble tawork a-gain, to eani mon-ey for hiniHself.

own house, which was a great way off. The boy soon got well,
and earn-ed his bread by sweep-ing chim-neys at Reading.
6. " Sev-er-al years af-ter that time, this same good-na-tu-red
man was ri-ding through Read-ing, and his horse took fright
up-on a bridge, and jump-ed, with the man up-on his back,
in-to the wat-er.
7. <* The «ian could not swim, and tlie peo-ple who were on
the bridge, and saw him tura-ble in, were a-fraid to jump in-to
the wat-er, to pull him out ; but just as he was rea-dy to sink,
a chim-ney-sweep-er, who was go-iug by, saw him, and, with-
out stop-ping a mo-ment, threw him-self in-to the riv-er, and,
seiz-ing hold of him, drag-ged him out of the wat-er. and
sa-ved him from be-ing drown-ed.
8. "When the man was safe up-on the bank, and was go-ing
to thank the man v/ho pull-ed him oufTof the wat-er, he re-col-
lect-ed that it was the same chim-ney-sweep-er, whom he had
ta-ken care ofj sev-er-al years be-fore, and who had haz-ard-ed
his own li^ to save that of his beu~e-fac-toi*."
9. When Lu-cy had done read-ing, her moth-er ask-ed
Hen-ry which he fi-ked bet-ter, the man who had ta-ken care
of the chim-a»y-sweep-er, whom he did not know, or the
chim-ney-swelp-er, who had sa-ved tlie life of the man whom
he knew, ^nd who had taken care of him when his arm was
bro-ken.
10.. Hen-ry said he U-ked the chim-ney-sweep-er bet-ter,
be-eause he was grate-fiil, and be-cause he ven-tu-red his own
life to save that of .tlie man who had been kind to him.
11. But Lu-cy said, she li-ked the oth-er man bet-ter, be-
eause he was hu-mane, and took Care of a poor lit-tle boy, who
had no-bo-dy to take care of him, and from whom he could
nev-er ■ex-pect to re-«eive arny ben-e-fit.

THE REST OF THE SAME STORY.
1. James had not pro-ceed-ed far, be-foro he saw a poor sail^
or, who had lost both his legs in a bat-tie at sea, hop-pmg a-lonir
on crutch-es. ^ r r 6 "S
2. "God bless you, my lit-Ue mas-ter ! " said the sail-or; «I
have fought ma-ny a bat-tie in my coun-try's de-fence ; but now
1 am crip-pledj^as you see,, and have nei-ther vic-tu-als nor
moa-ey, al-though I am al-most fam-ish-ed."
3. The Ijt-tle boy could not re-sist hia^in-cli-na-tion to rfe-lieve
him; so he gave him all the vic-tu-als that he had left and
said, « God help you, poor man! this is all I have ; oth-er-wise
y.ou should have more."
4. He then ran a-long, and pres-ent-ly ar-ri-ved in the town
he was go-mg to, did his er-rand, and re-tum-ed tow-ards his
own home, as fast as he could. But he had not gone much
more than halfway, be-fore the night shut in ve-ry dark, with-
out ei-ther moon or strn-s to light him.
5. The poor lit-tle boy did all that he was a-ble, to find his
way, but lost it m turn-ing down a lane, which brought him in-
to a wood, where he wan-der-ed a-bout a great while, with-out
be-ing a-ble to find a-ny path to lead him out.
6. Ti-ped out at last, and hun-gry, he felt him-self so fee-ble
that he could ^o no iar-ther, but sat him-self down up-on the
ground and cn-ed bit-ter-ly.
7. Here he sat lor some time, till at last the lit-tle dog, who
had nev^er for-sa-ken him, came up to him wag-ging his tail,
and hold-mg some-thing in his mouth. James took it from
him, and saw li was a hand-ker-chief, nice-ly pin-ned to-geth-
er, which some-bo-dy had ^rop-ped, and the dog had pick-ed up.
8. Up-on o-pen-mg it, he found sev-er-al sli-ces of bread and
meat, which the lit-tle boy ate with great sat-is-fac-tion, and
telt him-self much re-fresh-ed with this meal.
9. « So," said he toiiis dog, "I see tliat, if I gave you a break-
fast, you have giv-en me a sup-per; and a good turn is nev-er
lost, e-ven ir it is done to a r'og."
10. He then once more tri-ed to find his way out of the wood,
but It was to no purpose; he on-ly scratch-ed his legs with

1 DID NOT THINK.
1. A lit-tle boy was once ask-ed a ques-tion a-bout his Je»-
son, which he could not an-swer. The ques-tion was a plain
one. His teach-er put the ques-tion to the next boy, who an-
al??''/®?./' »'«-™e;di-ate-ly; when the first boy cri-ed out —
*^OiJ did not tkmk!"
2. I have of-teu thought of this lit-tle boy's ex-pres-sion.
when en-ga-ged in my du-ties in school ; and per-haps, if I
ex-piam my mean-ing, some chil-dren may be a-ble to un-der-
staud It.

Jus head at ev-e-ry move in the school-roort, (and I do some-
times see It,) I say, « Sure-Iy that boy ♦ does not think,' or he would
not tiius b-^ak the rules of the school, and grieve his teach-er's
neart. /

he had sent to ; ,but the sun gi-ew hot, and not a sin-gle man
came to help him. "Why, then," said he to his son, "I'll tell
you what, ray boy; vou see those friends of ours have for-got-
ten us ; you must there-fore run to your un-cles and cous-ins,
and tell them that I shall ex-pect them to-mor-row, ear-ly, to
help us to refy."
7. Well, this al-so the young ones told their moth-er as soon
as she came home ; and in a sad fright they were. " Nev-er
mhid it, chil-dren," said the old one ; " for if that be all, you
may take my word for it, that his breth-ren and kins-men will
not be so for-ward to as-sist him as he seems wii-ling to be-
lieve, ^ut mark," said she, "what you hear the next time<
and let nie know with-out fidi."
8. The old lark went a-broad the next day as be-fore: but
when the poi^i^r-mer found that his ktns-men were as back-
ward as his uelgh-bours, "Why, then," said he, "since your
uu-cles and cous-ins so ueg-Iect us, do you get," said he to his
son, "a cou-ple of good eic-kles a-gainst to-mor-row mor-ning,
^d Y^e wili ^en reap the com our-selves, my boy !"
9. AVi^ tm young ones told their moth-er this, "Now, my
lit-tle dearfe," said she, « we must be gone in-deed ; for when a
man re-sq^ves to do his own work him-sclf, you may then de-
pend up-on it that it will be done."

TRUTH.
Truth is the basis of every virtue. It is the voice of reason.
Let its precepts be obeyed. Never transgress its limits. Every
deviation from truth is criminal. Sincerity possesses the most
powerful charms. , - . . u
No fear of flhame, no motives of gain, no dread of pam, should
induce you to violate truth. Truth stamps a merit on the youth
who adher i lo it. Lying is an udious vice. Dread the utter-
ance of an un-truth. If you do not, you will lose vour jfood
name and character, and you will be both shunned and despised.

DRESS.
Whatever be your condition, endeavour to be moderate in
your dress. Covet nothiug but what your parents can afford.
A desire of showy finery indicates a common mind. Wear not
your best things on common occasions. Dress according to
your employment, time, and place.
Take care of your clothes. I-.et them not lie about ; they
will get soiled ; put them in your drawers. This habit of order
will he very valuable. It wUl save time and trouble ; it will
prevent frequent loss and vexation ; and you will be able to ap-
pear more creditable at !o»8 expense.

RELIGION.
Religion is the daughter of heaven, the parent of virtue, and
the source of true fehcity. She alone gives peace and content,
ment: she dive-^ the heart of corroding care, pours upon the
soul a flood of serene delight, and sheds an unmingled sunshine
upon all the objects of life.
By her the spirits of darkness are banished from the earth,
and angehck mnusters of grace hover unseen amid the re^^ioiis
«t mortality. Among men, she promotes love and good-will:
1-a.ses the hea.l that hangs down; heals the wounded sph-it
dispels the gloom of sorrow, and sweetens the cup of affliction.
Lift up your head, O Christian ! and look forward to vonder
unclouded regions of mercy, unsullied by vapour, and uni-uffled
by storms, where holy friendship never changes, never cools,
feoon you will burst this clay prison of the body, break the let-
% ters ot mortality, rise to endless life, and mingle with the skies.

EXERCISE.
^fany people look upon the necessity man is under of earning
Ins bread by labour as a curse. Be that as it may, it is evidert,
Irom the stiucture of the body, that exercise is not less neces-
^'ary than food for the preservation of Tiealth. Those whom
poverty obliges to labour for daDy bread, are not only the most
liealtljy, but generally tlie most happy, part of mankind. In-
dustry seldom fails to place them above want; and activity
serves tliem instead of physicfc. This is most peculiarly the case
with those wIm) live by the culture of the ground. The ?reat
iiicrvase of inhabiCtUils in in^t colonies, and the longevity of
•such as ftilow agriculture every where, evidently prove it to bo
tf J€ most healthiul, as well as the most useflil, employment.

strottg IS this principle, that a healthy youth cannot be re-
strained from exercise even by the fear of punishment. Our
love of motion is surtly a Btrone proof of its utUity. Nature
implants no disposition m vain. It seems to be a catholick law
throughout the whole animal creation, that no human creature,
>yithout exercise, should enjoy health, or be able to find subl
sistence. Every creature, except man, takes as much of it an

VViui the solids are relaxed, neither the digestion, nor anv of

corjsequences must ensue. How can persons who loll all day
m easy chairs, and sleep ail night on beds of down, fail to be

but m a coach, or the like. Tliese elegant pieces of luxury are

Tery advantageous to the one with whom you ai^more closely
connected. A person of hidifferent character tmy be intro-
duced to one equally so; but never introduce a persoti of bad
moral or commercial chaiacter to one whose moral or commer-
cial character*is good. :•- ^ - - -* '■'»^^ :
If you find the company of any one a^eeable, and wish tO;
become better acquainted, do not court his society so much as
to prevent him showing whether he is desirous of making your
acquaintance ; and if you find him averse to do so, you had bet-
ter let him alone. But if he meet your advances half way, a
formal introduction is not necessary. If you have met hini in
a friend's house, that of itself is a sufficient guaranty.
When walking with a friend, should you meet another, never
introduce them on the spur of the moment, or you may have
cause to regret it ; but if you have previously thought it expe-
dient, do not lose the opportunity, taking care that it be done
ill a proper manner, as not only their opinion of each other,
but also of yourself, will be materially guided by such a cir-
cumstance.
Always introduce the person of lower rank to the one of
higher — never the higher to the lower. Ladies, on being in-
troduced to gentlemen, are always to be considered as the
higher. For example — you must introduce not only Mr. Gold
to Lord Landsdown, or ]Vlrs. Gold to Lady Landsdown, but also
Lord Landsdown to Mrs. Gold.
Great caution must be observed in taking one friend, unin-
vited, to the house of another, although you may be very inti-
mate with him to whose house you are going ; and you must
not only consider what you yourself think of the friend you are
going to introduce, but also what your other friend will think
of him.
Be very cautious in making acquamtances in coffee-houses,
taverns, hotels, or other publick places ; and let the same rule
apply to persons you meet with in travellmg: always let the
acquaintanceship end where it began, unless there be very
strong reasons for doing otherwise. A valuable friend may be
so gained ; but a hundred chances to one, in friendships so
formed, you will find mankind have generally been deceived.
In mtroducing a friend, be as cautious of saying too much in
his favour as too little ; for if the person introduced be really the
possessor of very good qualities, they will soon be found out,
and pore appreciated than if they had in the first instance been
llll told.
, If you introduce a gentleman to a lady, it is necessary that
the lady's consent should have been previously obtained.
When you are introduced to a gentleman, do not give your
hand, but merely bow with politeness.
Never introduce morning visitors who acddentdly meet in
your parlour; and if any one should so introduce you, it must

SALUTATIONS AND CEREMONIES.
«•
The salutation, says a French writer, is the touchstone
of good breeding. According to circumstances, it should be
respectful, cordial, ci^ 1, affectionate, or familiar; an inclination
of the head, a gesture with the hand, the touching or doffing
of the hat
If you remove your hat, you need not, at the same time, bend
your body, unless you wish to be very reverential, as in saluting
u bishop.
Some ladies courfMj^ in the street — a movement not grace-
fully consistent with locomotion. Tli y should always bow.
It an individual of the lowest rank, or without any rank at
all, takes oft' his hat to you, yoa should do the same in return.
The two best-bred men in England, Charles th.> Second and
George the Fourth, never failed to take off their liais to the
salute of the meanest of their subjects.
If you have any thing to say to any one in Xlm street, espe-
cially a lady, however intimate you may be, do not stop the
person, but turn round and walk in company : you can take
leave when your chat is over.
On a lady recognising you, make a slight reverential bow,
and take off* your hat.
On entering a coffee-house or publick room of an inn or
hotel, and sitting down, take off' your hut.
On accidentally running against any one in the street, make
an apology, and slightly raise your hat*.
In walking with a lady, if she is bowed to, you must return
the salute.
Never sit in church, or any where within doors where there
are ladies, with your hat on your head.
If you meet a lady of your acquaintance in the open air, it is
her part to notice you first, unless where you are very- intimate.

Do not insist, in a hot day, on pnlluig off your glore to shake
hands with a lady. If the day is cold, however, and you do not
keep her waiting, always pull it off.
Ir you meet your friend in publick, never address him by
iidme in a loud tone.
If you are walking with a kdy who has your arm, and you
cross the street, it is better not to disengage your arm, and go
round upon the outside. Such effort evin es a palpable atten-
tion to form, and timt is always to be avoided.
A lady should rarely take the arms of two gentlemen, one
bemg upon each side ; nor should a gentleman usually carry a
lady upon ich arm. There are, to be sure, some cases in
which It 18 necessary for the protection of the ladies, that they
should both take an arm, as in coming home from a concert, or
in passing, on any occasion, through a crowd.

LETTERS.
Remember that all deviations from prescribed forms, on
common occasions, are vulgar; such as sending invitations or
replies couched in some unusual forms of speech.
Always remember that the terms of compliment at the close
of a letter — "I have the honour to be your very obedient ser-
vant," and the like — are merely forms, sigmjying nothinjr.
Do not, therefore, avoid them on account of pride, or a dislike
to the person addressed. Do not presume, as some do, to
found expectations of favour or promotion from great men,
who prof(-H8 tlieniselves your obliged servant.
In writing n letter of business, it is extremely vulgar to use
satm or gla> d gold-edged paper. Always employ, on such
occasions, plain paper. Place the date at the top of the page»
and, if you please, the name of the person at the top also, just
above the « Sir ; " though this last is indifferent.
In letters, not on business, to gentlemen, always place the
date at the end of the letter. Use the best paper, but not fig-
ured, and never fail to enclose it in an envelope. Attention to.
tiiese matters is indispensable.
To a person whom you do not know well, say " Sir," not
" I »ear Sir." It formerly was usual, in writing to a distinguished
man, to enipIOV the fhrm. « 1{pianr>r>toH <^W» r^.. anry.f.*\^',^a -^^

coach wait for you at the stopping-places. When the ladies
get out, you must offer them your arm. You should make all
the accommodations to others which you can do consistentiv
with your own convenience; for, after all, the individuals are
each like little nations ; and as, in the one case, the first duty is
to your country, so, m the other, the first duty is to yourself.
Some surly creatures, upon entering a coach, wrap about
their persons a great-coat of cloth, and about their minds a
mantle of silence, which are not thrown off" during the whole
journey. This is doinff more harm to themselves than to
others. %ou should make a point of conversing with an ap-
pearance of entire freedom, thoujrh with real ret^erve, with all
those who are so disposed. On. purpose and pleasure of
travelling is to gam information, and to observe the various
characters of persons. You will be asked by others about the
road you passed over, and it will be awkward if you can give
no account of it Converse, therefore, with all. Relate
amusing stones, chiefly of other countries, ami even of other
tnnes, so as not to offend any one. If engaged in discussion, —
and a coach is almost the only place where discussion should
not be avoided, — state facts and arguments, rather than opin-
ions. Never answer impudent questions, and never ask them.
At the meals which occur during a journey, the entire scene
is one of uninterrupted war of every person with every other
person, with the viands, and with good manners. You open
your mouth only to admit edibles, and to bellow to the waiters.
Your sole object is yourself. You drink wine without ask-
ing your neighbour to join you. Rapacity, roaring, and ra-
pidity, are the three requisites for dining during a journey.
When you have resumed your seat in the coach, you are as
bland as a morning in spring.
Never assume any unreal importance in a stage-coach, found-
ed on the Ignorance of your fellows, and their inability to detect
"• J } >f. excessively absurd, and can only gratify a momentary
and foolish vanity. - o ^ j
The friendship which has subsisted between travellers
should terminate with the journey. When you get out, a
?yj?™' a,bow — and the most pleasant or unpleasant period of
life IS finished and forgotten.

TAKING WHALES.

« S® S?^"*^,***" whales, in the seas of Greenland, amonsr the
nelds ot ice that have been increasing for ages, is one of the
greatest curiosities in nature. These pieces of ice are fre-
quently more than a mile in length, and upwards of a hundred
le?t m thickness ; and, when they are put m motion by a storm,
nothmg can be more terrible. The Dutch had thirteen ihins
crushed to pieces by them in one season.
There are sevei-aJ kinds of whales in these seas, some white
and others black. The black sort, 'the grand bay whale, is iii
most esteem, on account of his bulk, and the gr^at quantity 5
blubber he affords. His tongue is about eighteen feet lonir.
inclosed m long pieces of what we call whaMnne, whieh ara
covered with a kind of hair like horsehair; and on each side of >
Jus tongue are two hundred and fifty piece* of this whalebone.
1 he bones of his body are as hard as an ox's bone& There are
no teeth in his mouth; and he is usuaUy between sixty and
eiglity feet long; very thick about the head, but grows less from
tlience to the tail.
When the seamen see a whale spout, the word is immediate-
ly given -.^ / faU ! — when every one hastens from the shin
to his ^at; SIX or eiffht men being appointed to a boat, and
tour or five boats usually belong to one sWp.
When tjiey come near the whale, the harpooner strikes him
with his harpoon, and the animal, finding himself wounded*
runs swiftly down info the deep, and would carry the boat
along with him, if they did not give him line fast enough ? and;
to prevent the wood of the boat taking fire by the violent fric-
tion of the rope on the side of it, one wets it constantly with a
mop. After the whale has run some hundred fiuhoms deep, ho
18 forced to come up for air, when he makes such a noi«e with
his spouting, that somelmve compared it to the firing of can-
non. As soon as he appears on the surface of the water, some
ot the harpooners fix another harpoon in him ; whereupon he
plunges again into the deep ; and when be cornea up a second
nn$t, they pierce him with spears in the vital pahs, till be

Those who make hunting tbe elephant their particular busi?
netM, dwell ojonstaiitly in the woods, and know very Httle the
U0e of bread, living entirely upon tbe flesh of the beasts they
fcillv chiefly that ojf the elephant or rhitiocoro;!. They are ex*
eeedingty thin, light, and agile, both on horsel^ck and on foot.
The manner iir which they kill the elephant, is as tbliows: —
Two men, without any rag or covering at alt about them, get on
horseback ; this precautimi is firom fear of being laid hold of by
tlie trees or buslies in making their escape from a very watch*'
ful enemy. Onci of thoHe riders nits upon the back of tbe horse,
fiometimes with a saddle, and sometimes without one, with only
a switch or ishoit stick in one hand, earefuIJy onanaging the
bridle with the other. Beliind him fits his companion, who ha^
AO other armt but a brqadr-sword.
A. soon as tbe el^hant is found feeding, the horseman rid^M
bctbre him af near bis face as possible ; or, if he flies, ciYMses
bim in all directions, crying out-^>' I am such a man, and such
anian; thi? is my horse, that has such a name; I killed your
firther in such a place, and your grandfather in such another
plaoe, and 1 am ito w cpme to kill you ; you are but an ass in
oompftrisou of them." Tliis nonsense be verily believes the
«le|j|iaot titidevstands^ who, cha&d and angry at liearing the
Wxlfo iimnediat«iy before him, seeks to seize him with his
trwdc or (Mrobolbi^ and, iulient upon this, follows the ]|iorse

herd, if they have started more ,tb«^u one; and soinetimes an
expert hunter will kill three or four out of one herd. If the
sword is good, and the nian not afraid, the tendon is commonly
entirely separated; and, if it is not cut through, it is generally
so tar divided, that the animal, with the stress he puts upon It
breaks file remaining part asunder, In either cuse, he remains
incafwble of advancing a step, till the horseman, returning, 0^
hi3 companions, coming up, pierce him through with javeliQi
and lances. He then falls to the ground, and expires with th^

Among the reptiles of America, the rattlesnake chiefly de<

this aninial is the tail, which is scalv like a coat of mail, and oa
which, it IS sa d, there grows eve 17 year one ring, or row of

by his mouth. In movinsr, it makes a rattling noise, from which
It has its name. The bite of this serpent Is mortal, if a remedy
js not ap[)hed immediately. In all places where Jhis dangerouj*
reptile is bred, tiiere grows a plant whic^ is <}alled rattlesnake-
rool!, tfae root of which is a certain antidote against the venom
of Una serpent, and that with the most simple preparation ; forrt

Mountains are useful or necessary for the purpose of forming
i^pes and decli^ies in land^ which are necessary to give cur-
rency to water. If tlw surface of the land were perfectly level,
there eould be no rivers ; and water falling upon the earth must
' Itie stagnant, tintil absorbed or evaporated. Hence we may
observe, that continents or large traicts of land, on whicfe. rivers
nfust be of ^reot length, m order to reach the ocean, contain
high mountems. The reason is obvious; the soturces of long
rivers must be in very elevated regiont^ or there would not be
It sufficient deecent to conduct streanas to the sea.

Whatever we see reminds us of the lapse of time. The day
and night succeed each other; the rotation of the seasons varies
the year; the sun rises, attains the meridian, declines, and sets;
and the moon every night changes its form.
The day has been considered a^ an^ image of the year, and a
year as the representative of life. The morning answers to the
spring, and the spring to childhood ar.d youth.
The noon corresponds to the summer, and the summer to
tlie strength of manhood ; the evening is an emblem of autumn,
and autumn of declining life.
The night, with its silence and darkness, shows the winter,
in wliich all the powers) of vegetation are benumbed; and the
srwinter points out the time when life shall cease, with its hopes
and pleasures.
If the wheel of life, which rolls thus silenUy along, passed
uniformly on, we should never mark its appoaches to the end
of the course. If one hour were like another, — if the course
of the sun did not show that the day is wasting, — days and
years would glide unobserved.

I ought to remember the kindness of those
Who teach me at school, with such trouble and iMune»
Tis better than giving me money or clothes ;
For, when they are gone, yet my teaming iremaiiis.
1 mean to be thankful so long fu) Hive;
And, though I can never repay theaa, Fm sure,
My love and my duty I'm aUe to give ;
And these they shidl hovey if Fm ever so poor.
T\\ do as they bid me, and nuad wtaat they say,
' And never be stubborn, or sulky, or bojkl ;
But come in good time, without stoppine to play,
"And ti7 to remember whatever I'm told.
If there's any thing else I can think of to do,
I'll not be ungrateAil, and that they shall find.
I alw^s shall love them, and honour them too.
And I hope Ood will bless thism for bein^ so kind.

^^r»B' BOYS AND THE FROQa
We're; lot art.
Some ichool-boyi, one day,
By the side of a mill-pond, not ftur from their achool,!
Saw a partv of firogfl
Diving off ftom the loos ^ 4. ,
And stones, on the margin, to swim in the pool. '
The boys, all as one, 1} ji > f
Said, ««1now for some ftin !
Let us pelt the yomig croakers, and give them no quarter.
Till there is not a ftog
That, by stone, stump, or log.
Shall dare lift his yellow chaps out of the water.**
Bo, with fiin hands and hats,
They brought stones and brickbats,
And began the poor, innocent creatures to slaughter.
Till one they saw jump
To the top of a stump,
That stood under the reeds, in the edg« of the water ^
And thus, — if we're able
To credit the ftble,—
The thing must have iUled every hearor with wonder,—
'JMid a volley of stones,
'That threatenled his bones.
He spoke to the lad^, in a voice like the thunder :—
' ' ' " Let alone, let alone
Club, brickbat, and stone.
Naughty boins » cruel b<^d! and peh us not thus !
Consider, I pray,
Consider, your fiay,
To you though afrotkky is murder to u$.! »
MORAL.
No boy should forget that ei^jh boy is his brother,
Or find pleasure in that whiph gives pain to another.

In a beautiAil garden, my deur Iktie maid,
A graue-vme had twined itaelf iato an arbour :
And under it^ Uranches, in beauty armyed,
A small but sweet roMhbuah delighted to harbour.
The Uuah on its leaves ^s as brilliant and light
^ iU that which on Modesty's cheek oft repoMs:
And It beamed with a freiAiness as fair to the sight
As youth, in us innocent beauty, discloses.
Those thought, who had seen it, its nace and its bloom
Kesembled the charms of a sweet little child,
And» while riwng delight bv its grateftil perfiime,
i^omjwred it to her who is pleasant and mild.
One beautiful morning when nature was gay.
And the stw, coming up, in his splendour was aeen,
l-be grape-vme appei^ed in her richest array
Of dewdrops, that hung on her mantle of green.
She raised up her head, and looked down to the shade.
Whare the sweet little rose-bush was blooming below.
And, fciviking her curls, she disdainfully said.
In words that were chilling as pride could bestow, --^
"You have dressed yourself out in a bea;;iifol style,

The rose really blushed thede* > scarlet of prid(
To see one so much older so cross and ill hrin. ;
Aiid shii turned her sweet fiue towards a shruli by her iiide,
Which gladly supported her innocent head.
But the skies, before long, were o'ercast with deep gloom ;
The red lightnings flashed, and the tempest grew wild }
The hiffh grape-vine trembled, in fear of her doom,
But the mnocent rose-bush looked upward and smiled.
Not long had the wiodr w histled hoarsely around,
And deep | »■ Js oi' thunder come burstmg between,
When the fiur, hsitfhty vine was all thrown to the ground,
And llw arbour lay low, with its ringlets of green. ,
The loud storm was hushed, and the sun's brilliant ray
Shone gayly on nature, and opened each sweet,
When Mary, young, innocent, modest, and gay,
Stole into her garden, her iavourite retreat.
She paused, as she saw the high vine laid so low.
And the lesson she learned found its way to her heart ;
And she prayed that her God would his favour bestow.
And bid from her mind evil passions depart. ^
She prayed e? the rose to be modest and meek,
Nor boast, like the grape-vine, of grandeur and^ grace ;
For pride spoils the bloom of a beautiful cheek,
Aiid a heart that is pure is more fair than a face.

His heart, who prays for them, endue !
That he may know and teach thy will.

NEARLY READY FOR THE PRESS,
A TREATISE ON ABITHmETIGK,
IN THEORY AND PRA.CTICE;
In which the defects of the puerile and iDsignifieant vorks of Govsh,
Walkingame, Vostbh, MoBBitON, DiLWOBTH, and their idle copyists,
are avoided, and in which all the roles are so clearly demonstrated, on
simple principles, derived from the properties of numbers, that Anth-
meiiol may be learned from it in the tenth part of the usual lime.
By WILLIAM CORRY,
AVTHOR OP THE MEW BBUK6WICK SFELLIHG BOOK.
