"> Notwithstanding the vast number of initiatory books for children in the nursery, which have been written within th% last few years by persons of distinguished abilities, and sano- tioned with their names, it must be still allowed that there hail not appeared one Introduction to Reading, for the general uso of fSchools, that rises above the vulgar, though popular, com- pilations of Dyche, Dilworth, and Fenning. The superstruc- ture has l)een attended to with sedulous care, and writers of the first eminence have contributed to rear the fabric of learn- ing, while the foundation has almost invariably been suffered, to be laid by the most tasteless and ignorant workman. The consequence has frequently been, as might be expected from ' such a circuuistance, that the taste has been vitiated at the very commencement ; and it has often proved more difficult to remove error, than it would have been to plant originally the principles of truth. For the neglect here alluded to, it wotild be impostible to;> produce any consistent reason. Perhaps the pride of acknowl- edged literature could not stoop to an occupation reputed so^: mean, as that of compiling a Spelling Book. Yet to lay the first stone of a noble edifice has ever been a task- delegated to the most honourable hands ; and to sow the seeds of useful learning^in the nascent mind, is an employment that cannot be disgraceful to the most industrious talents. The Editor of the following sheets is fully convinced of the solidity of his inferences and the justice of his remarks, in what- ever light his present undertaking may be regarded. Humble or degrading as it may appear to those who perhaps have no • higher pretensions than himself, he cannot think that labor dishonorable which is so manifestly beneficial to the rismg. generation ; nor \}ti& he any reason to fear but the caridid and judicious will adequately appreciate his motives and !his piO*' duction ; lor he feels convinced that the child who may be unable to acquire any other literary knowledge than what can be learned even in ihis elementary and familiar book, need . never have reason to blush from ignorance, or to err from want of a solid foundation of moral and religious principles.

One day she went out to take a walk in the fields, and tore her frock in a bush; and when she came home she said she had not done it, but that the dog had done it with his paw. Was that good? No. Her aunt gave her a cake; and she though "• if John saw it, he would want to have a bit; and si. 4 did not choose he should: so she put it in a box and hid it, that he might not see it. The next day she went to eat some of her cake, but it was gone ; there was a hole in the box, and a mouse had crept in, and eat it all. Oh dear, how she did cry I The nurse thought she was hurt; but when she told her what the mouse had done, she said she was glad of it ; and that it was a bad thing to wish to eat it all, and not give a bit to John. , , . , ; LESSON II. Miss Jane 'Bond haci a new doll ; and her good Aunt, who bought it, gave her some cloth to make a shift for it. She gave her a coat too, and a paii of stays, and a yard of twist with a tag to it, for a lace; a pair of rsd shoes, and a piece of blue silk to make Doll a slip, some gauze for a frock, and a broad white sash. Now these were fine things, you know : but Miss Jane had no thread, so she could not make Doll's clothes when she had cut them out ; but er kind Aunt gave her some thread too, and then >2d. LESSOXS or ONE SYLLABLE. she went hard to work, and made Doll quite smart in| a short time. LESSON III. ^ Miss Eose was a good child, she did at all times what she was bid. She got all her tasks by heart,] and did her work quite well. One day she ha learnt a long task in her book, and done some nice work; so her Aunt said. You are a good girl, mj dear, and I will take you with me to see Miss Cox.| So Miss Rose went with her Aunt, and Miss Co was quite glad to see her, and took her to her plaj room, where they saw a Doll's house with rooms in it ; there wer« eight rooms ; and there were in thesi rooms chairs, and stools, and beds, and plates, ani cups, and spoons, and knives, and forks, and mugs, an( a screen, and I do not know what. So Miss Rose wa glad she had done her work, and said her task so well for if she had not, she would have staid at home, am lost the sight of the Doll's house. ^'■[■- •■■ '/■■ ■ LESSON IV.

Then he would drink as much as he ate. But Frank could not long go on so ; no one can feed in this way but it must make him ill ; and this was the case with.

Poor Frank ! I know he did not mean to let them die ; but why did he take them from their nest, from the old bird, who would have ied them, and could take care of them? How would he like to be stole from his home ? LESSON VIL ■:..-. :,,{.,. a i. ..i Look at Jane, her hand is bound up in a cloth; you do not know what ails it, but I will tell you. She had a mind to try if she could poke the fire, though she had been told she must not do it; and '^ \f i M ^ 11 2d< LESSONS OF ONE SYLLABLE. it would have been well for her if she had not tried ; for she had not strength for such work as that, and she fell with her hand on the bar of the grate ; which burnt her much, and gave 'her great pain; and she can not work or play, or do the least thing with her hand. It was a sad thing not to mind what was said to her. tif I' .;.-- ; LESSON VIII. ■'..:;• :.>A :-: .> In the lane I met some boys ; they had a dog with them, and they would make him draw a cart ; but it was full of great stones, and he could not draw it. Poor dog I he would have done it to please them if lie could ; but he could not move it ; and when they saw that he did not, they got a great stick to beat him with, but I would not let them do that. So I took the stick from them, and drove them off; and when tbey were gone, I let the dog loose, and hid the cart in the hedge, where I hope they will not find it. It is a sad thing when boys beat poor dumb things ; if the dog had not been good, he would have bit them ; but he was good, and ought not to have been hurt , f ' LESSON IX. V : • I once saw a young girl tie a string to a bird's leg, and pull it through the yard. But it eould not go so fast as she did ; she ran, and it went hop, hop, to try to keep up with her, but it broke its poor leg, and there it lay on the hard stones, and its head was hurt : and the poor bird was soon dead. So I told her maid not to let her have birds, if she was to use them so ill ; and she has not had one since that time. ' * ■ «- ^ ■ ^^''^ :^- m,' WORDS OF TWO »YLLABLE3. .7 29: n.

There was a lit-tle boy ; he was not a big boy, for if he had been a big boy, I sup-pose he would have been wi-ser; but this was a lit-th^- boy, not higher than the ta-ble, and his pa-pa and mam-ma sent him to school. It was a Yery j^lea-sant morn-ing; the sun shone, and the birds sung on the trees. Now thiF lit-tle boy did notlove his book much, fer he was bu^ a sil-ly lit-tle boy, as I said be-fore, and he had a great mind to play iii-stead of go-ing to school. And he saw a bee fly-ing about, fii'st upon one flow-er, and then up-on an-o-ther ; so he said, Pret-ty bee ! will you come and play with me ? But the bee said, No, I must not be i-dle, I must go and ga-thor ho-ney. Then the lit-tle boy met a dog, and he said, Dog 1 will you play with me? But the dog said, No, 1 must not #■ _^' '£i^' 46 LEdSOiNS OF TWO SYLLABLES. "be i-dle, I atn go-ing to watch rny mas-ter's house. I must make haste, ibr lear bud men may get in. Tlien the lit-tle boy went to a hay-rick, jind he said, Bii'dl will you come and phiy with me? But tiio bird said. No, I must not be i-dle, I must get some hay to build my nest with, and some moss, and some wool. So the bird ilew a-vvay. Then the lit-tle boy saw a horse, and he said, llorse ! will you play with me? But the horse said, jNo; I must not be i-dle ; I must go and plough, or else there will be no corn to make bread of. Then the lit-tle boy thought to hini-self, What, is no-bo-dy i-dle? then lit-tle boys must not be i-dle nei-ther. So he made haste, and went to school, and learn-ed his les-son ve-ry well, and the mas-ter said he was a ve-ry good boy. 1 I f LESSON IV. Tho-mas, what a cle-ver thing it is to read ! A lit-tle while a-go, you could only read lit-tle words; and 3^ou wei-e lor-ced to spell tliem, c-a-t, cat; d-o-g, dog. Now you can read pret-ty sto-ries, and I am go-ing to tell you some. I will tell you a sto-ry about a lamb. — Tliere was once a shep-herd, who had a great ma-ny shec}) and lambs. He took a great deal of care of them ; and gave them sweet fresh grass to eat, and clear wa-ter to drink, and if they were sick he was very good to them; and when they climb-ed up a steep hill, and the lambs were tir-ed, he us-ed to car-ry them in his arms; and when they were all eat-in g their sup-pers in the field, he u-sed to sit up-on a stile, and play them a tune, and sing to them; so they were hap-py sheep and lambs. But ai-ways at night this shep-herd u-sed to pen them up in a Ibid. Now they were all LI'SSONS 01' TWO SVIXABLKS. 47 ;r's hoiise. in.

And this lamb did not like to be shut up al-vvays at night in the fold ; so she came to her mo-ther, v '>o was a wise old sheep, and said to her, I won-der why we are shut up so all night I the dogs are not shut up, and why should we be shut up? I think it is ve-ry hard, and I will get a-way, if I can, that I will, lor 1 like to run a-bout where I please, and I think it is ve-ry plea-sant iu tlie woods by moon-light. Then the old sheep said to her. You are ve-ry sil-ly, you lit-tle lamb, you had bet-ter stay iu the fold. The shep-herd is so good to us, that we should al-ways do as he bids us ; and if you wau-der a-bont by your-self, I dare say you will come to some harm. I dare say not, said the lit-tle lamb. And so when the night came, and the shep-herd call-ed them all to come in-to the fold, she would not come, but hid her-self ; and when the rest of the lambs were all in the fold, and fast a-sleep, she came out, and jump-ed, and fiisk-ed, and dan-ced a-bout; and she got out of the Held, and got in-to a fo-rest full of trees, and a ve-ry fierce wolf came rush-ing out of a cave, and howl-ed ve-ry loud. Then the sil-ly lamb wish-ed she had been shut up in the fold; but the fold was a great way off: and the wolf saw her, and seiz-cd her, and car-ricd her a-way to a dis-mal d^rk den, spread all o-ver with bones and blood ; and ihere the wolf had two cubs, and the wolf said to them. Here I have brought you a young fat lamb: and so the cubs took her, and growl-ed o-ver her a lit-tle while, and then tore her to pie-ces and ato her up. '.? .11 48 LESSONS OF TWO SYLLABLES. LESSON V. There was once a lit-tlc boy, who was a sad cow- ard. He was a-fiaid of al-most a-ny thing. .lie was a-fraid of the two lit-tle kidy, Nun-ny and BiMy, when they came and put their no-ses through the pales of tlie court ; and he would not pull Bil-ly by the beard. What a sil-ly boy he was I Pray, what was his name? N ty, in -deed, I shall not tell you his name, for you would make game of him. Well, he was ve-ry much a-fraid of dogs too : he al-ways cri-ed if a dog bark-ed, and ran a-way, and took hold of his mam- ma's a-pron like a ba-by. What a fool-ish fel-low he was 1 Well ; this sim,-ple boy was walk-ing by him-seh" one day, and a pret-ty black dog came out of a house, and said, Bow, wow, bow, wow ; and came to the lit-tle bo}'', and jumj)-ed up-on him, and want-ed to play with him ; but the lit-tle boy ran a-way. The dog ran af-ter him, and cri-ed loud-er, Bow, wow, wow; but he on-ly meant to say, Good morn-ing, how do you do? but this lit-tle boy was sad-ly a-fraid, and ran a-way as fast as e-ver he could, with-out look-ing be-fore him, and he tum-bled in-to a ve-ry dir-ty ditch, and there he lay cry-ing at the bot-tom of the ditch, for he could not get out; and I be-lieve he would have lain there all day, but the dog was so good, that he went to the house where the lit-tle boy liv-ed on pur-pose to tell them where he was. So, when he came to the house he scratch-ed at the door, and said. Bow, wow ; for he could not speak a-ny plain-er. So they came to the door. AVhat do you want, you black dog? We do not know 3'ou. Then the dog went to Ralph the ser-vant, and pull-cd him by the coat, and puU-ed him till he brought him to the ditch ; and the dog and Ralph be- tween them got the lit-tle boy out of the ditch: but he LESSONB or TWO SYLLABLES.

Being at last stopped by a heavy shower of ridn, he was. so vexed that he could not re- frain from tears, and sitting down in a sulky humour, would not suffer any one to comfort him. Towards night the clouds began to vanish ; the sun shone with great brightness, and the whole face of na- ture seemed to be changed. Robert then took Thomas with him into the fields; and the freshness of the air, the music of the birds, and the greenness of the grass, filled him with pleasure. " Do you see," said Robert, "what a change has taken place? Last night tht> ground was parched; the flowers, and all the things, seemed to droop. To what cause must we impute this hajTpy change? Struck with the folly of his own con- duct in the morning, Thomas was forced to admit, that the useful rain which fell that morning had done all this good. .. 8 'ii: < .

' f':\Jo(|, [. /t Gold is of a deep yellow colour. It is very pretty and bright. It is a great deal hea-vi-er than any thing else. Men dig it out of the ground. Shall I take my spade and get some? No, tliere is none in this country It comes from a great way off; and lies deeper a great deal than you oould dig with your spade. Guineas ar€?i made of gold ; and so are half-guineas, and watches sometimes. The looking-glass frame, and the picture framos, are gilt with gpld. What is leaf gold? It ia gold beaten very thin ; thinner than l§|ftves of paper. LESSON II. I Silver is white and shining. Spoons are made of silver, and waiters, and crowns, and balf-crowns, and .' i^l 68 LESSONS OF THREE SYLLABLES. m six-pen-ces. Silver comes fj'om a great way off; from Peru. Copper is red. The kettles awl pots are made of copper ; and brass is made of copper. Brass is briglit and yellow, almost like gold. The saucepans are made of brass ; and the locks upon +Jie door, and the can-die- sticks. What is that green uj)on the saucepan ? It is rusty ; the green is called ver-di-gris ; it would kill you if you were to eat ^t. LESSON III. Iron is very hard. It is not pretty ; but I do not know what we should do without it, for it makes us a great many things. The tongs, and the poker, and shovel, are made of iron. Go and ask Dobbin if he can plough without the plough-share. We\], what does he say? He says, No, he cannot. But the plough-share is made of iron. Will iron melt in the fire ? Put the poker in and try. Well, is it melted ? No, but it is red hot, and soft; it will bend. But I will tell you, Charles; iron will melt in a very, very hot fire, when it has been in a great while ; then it will melt. Come, let us go to the smith's shop. What is he doing-? He has a forge ; he blows the fire with a great pair of bel- lows, to make the iron hot. Now' it is hot. Now he . takqs it out with the tongs, and puts it upon the anvil. '•Now he beats it wi.h a hammer. Hov\^ hard he works I The sparks fly about: pretty I right sparks! What is the blacksmith making ? He is making nails, and horse- shoes, and a great many things.

There is lead in the casement ; and the spout is lead, and the cistern is lead, and bullets are made of lead. Will lead melt in the (ire ? Try ; throw a piece in. Now it is all melted, and runs down among the ashes below the grate. What a pretty bright colour it is of now! Tin is white and soft. It is bright too. The drip- I)in.g-pan and ihe re-fleet-or, are all co-ver-ed with tin. Quick-sil-ver is very bright, like silver ; and it is very heavy. See how it runs about I You cannot catch it. You cannot pick it up. There is quick-sil-ver in the wea-ther-glass. Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin, quick-sil-ver ;. one, two, three, four, live, six, seven, metals. They are all dug out of the ground. LESSON V. There was a little boy, whose name was Harry ; and his papa and mamma sent him to school. Now Harry v/as a clever fellow, and loved his book ; and he got to be first in his class. So his mamma got up one morn- ing very early, and called Betty the maid, and said, Betty, I think we must make a cake for Harry, for he has learned his book very well. And Betty said. Yes, with all my heart. So they made a nice cake. It was very, large, and stuffed full of plums and swe^Lmeats, orange and citron ; and it was iced all over wit5 sugar; it was white and smooth on the top like snow. *'jp9>*tliis cake was sent to the scliool. When little Harry saw it, he was very glad, and jumped about for joy; and he hardly staid for a knife to cut a piece, but gna'vired it with his teeth. So he ate till the bell rang for iwjhool, and after school he ate again, and ate till he Wfint to bed ; nay, he laid his cak6 under his pillow, and sat up in the night to eat some. .rf..'<*rr ■ ."f He ate till it was all gone. But soon after, tnis little I x>>-:-kdfeis* J. . ! 60 LESSONS OF THREE SYLLABLES. boy was very sick, and e-vc-ry body said, T wonder what is the matter with f Tarry : he used to be brisk, and phxy about more nimbly than any of the boys; and now he looks pale, and is very ill. So they sent for Dov^.or Rhubarb, and he gave him T do not know how- much bitter physic. Poor Ilarry did not like it at all, but he was forced lo take it, or else he would have died, you know. So at last he got^ well again, but his mamma said she would send him no more cakes. . LESSON VI. Now there was an-o-ther boy, who was one of Harry's school-fel-lows ; his name was Peter; the bo3's used to call him Peter Careful. And Peter had written his mamma a very clean pretty letter ; there was not one blot in it at all. So his mamma sent bim a cake. Now Peter thougLt with himself, I will not make mys'^^'lf sick with this good cake, as sill}'' Harry did ; I will keep it a great while. So he took the cake, and tugged it up stairs. It was very heavy ; he could hardly carry it. And he locked it up in his box, and once a day he crept slily up stairs, and ate a very little piece, and then locked his box again. So he kept it sev-e-ral weeks and it was not gone, for it was very large ; but, behold 1 ' the mice got into the box and nibbled some. And the .cake grew dry and mouldy, 4ind at last was good for nothing at all. So he was o-bli-ged. to throw it away, and it grieved him to the very heart-. ? 7, ■:%. -♦ *i i r LESSON VIL Well ; there was an-o-ther little boy at the same ichool, whose name was Richard. And one day his LESSONS OF THREE SYLTJLBLE9. 91 T wondcT o be brisk, boys; aiid 3y sent for know how ke it at all, have died, n, but his ikes. 3 of Harry's >ys used to written his as not one cake.

So when the cake came, KiclijArd said to his school-fel-lows, I have got a cake, come let us go and eat it. So they came about him like a parcel of bees; and liichard took a slice of cake hirnseh', and then gave a piece to one, and a piece to ari-o-ther, and a piece to another, till i* was almost gone. Then Richard put the rest by, and said, I will eat it to* morrow. He then went to play, and the boys all played io gather mer-ri-ly. But soon after an old blind Fiddh^r came into the court: he liad a Ion ^^ white beard; and because he was blind, he had a little dog in a string to lead him. So he came into the court, and sat dowt upon a stone, and said. My pretty lads, if you will, ] will play you a tune. Ai'd they all left their sport, and came and stood round him. And Richard saw that while he played the tears ran down his cheeks. And Richard said, Old man, why do you cry ? And the old man said. Because I am very hungry : I have no- bo-dy to give me any dinner or supper: I have nothing in the world but tiiis little dog; and I cannot work. If I could work I would. Then Richard went, v^^ithout saying a word, and fetched the rest of his cake, which he had in-tend-ed to have eaten an-o-ther day, and he said, Here, old man , here is some cake for you. The old man said, Where is it? for I am blind, I cannot see it. So Richard put it into his hat. And the Fid- dler thanked him, and Richard was more glad than if he had eaten ten cakes. Pray, which do you love best? Do you love Harry best, or Peter best, or Richard best ? LESSON vin. It the same 3ne day his The noblest employment for the mind of man is to study the works of the Creator. To him whom the 62 LESSONS OF THREE STLLABLVi. science of nature delighteth, every object bringeth a proof of his God. His mind is lifted up to heaven every moment, and his life shows what idea he enter- tains of eternal wisdom. If he cast his eye towards the clouds, will he not find the heavens full of its wond'ers ? If he look down on the earth, doth not the worm pro- claim to him, " Less than infinite power could not havo formed me ?.'* While the planets pursue their courses; while the sun remaineth in his place ; while the moon wandereth through space, and returneth to his destined spot again ; who but God could have formed them ?

Look down upon the earth, and see its produce; examine its bowels, and behold what they contain : have not wisdom and power ordained the whole ? Who biddeth the grass to spring up ?

Hogs are vo-ra-ci«ous ; yet where they find plentiful and de-li-ci-ous food, they are/ very nice in their choice, will refuse unsound fruit, and'' wait the fall of fresh ; but hunger will force them to eat rotten and putrid substances.

Deer shed their horns an-nu-al-ly in the spring : if the old ones do not fall off, the animal rubs them gently against the branch of a tree. The new horns are tender ; and the deer walk with their heads low, lest they should hit them against the branches; when they are full grown and hard, the doer rub them against the trees, to clear them of a skin with which they are covered. The skins of deer are of use for leather, and the horns make good handles for. common knives.

The cat has sliarp eluws, which she draws b;ick when you caress her : then lier Coot is as soft as velvet. Cats have loss sense tlinii do^^s ; their attachment is chiefly to the house ; but the dog's is to the persons who inhabit it. Kittens have their e3'cs closed several days after their birth. The cat, after sucking her young some time, brings them mice aiul young birds. Cats hunt 'n' tlie eye; they lie in wait, and spi-ing n})on their pr«.^.; which they catch by suri)rise; then sport with it, and torment the poor animal, till they kill it. Cats see best in the gloom. In a strong light the pupil of the cat's oye is contracted almost to a line; by night it spreads |iiito a large circle. Cats live in the house, but are not very o-be-di-ent to the ownen: tliey are self-willed and wayward. Cats iove perfumes ; they are fond of va-le- li-an and marjoram. They dislike water, cold, and bad smells ; they love to bask in the sun, and to lie on soft beds. k 80 ; LESSONS IN NATURAL HISTORY. THE SHEEP. LESSON vr.

Their skin ia IcHither, which forms parchment, and is used to cover books. Their entrails are made into strings for liddles; and their dung affords rich manure for the earth. The female is called an ewe. A sheep is a timid animal, and runs from a dog; yet an ewe will face a dog when her lamb is by her side ; she thinks not then of her own danger, but will stamp with her foot, and push with her head, seeming to have no fear; such is the love of mothers! Sheep derive their safety from the care of man, and they well repay him for his "at-ten-ti-on. Tn many coun- tries they require the attendance of tlicir shepherds, and are penned up at night to protect them from the wolves ; but in our happy land they graze in se-cu-ri-ty.

The ass is humble, patient, and quiet. Why should a creature so patient, so innocent, and so useful, be treated with contempt and cruelty? The ass is strong, hardy, and temperate, and less delicate than the horse: but he is not so sprightly and swift as that noble and generous animal. lie is often rendered stupid and dull by unkind treatment, and blamed f(^r what rather de- serves our pity. \y.. 81 ijiil '11 I LEBSOXS JN NATURAL HTSTORY, THE LTON. .'t^'^. ■:!'%^0 _____ A\^:^^ '\^Jf. ■ ■■.iV.-,T^<:»tfy '/jiS-J'; ifl . i LESSON X.

The elephant is not ordy the largest but the strongest of all quadrupeds; in a i-tate of nature it is neither fierce nor mischievous. Pacific, mild, and brave, it only exerts its power in its own defence, or in that of the coni-mu-ni-ty to which it belongs. It is social and friend]}'- with its kinvl; the oldest of the troop always appears as the leader, and the next in se-ni-ord-ty brings up the reai\ .

In Africa ele])hants perhaps are the most numerous, but in Asia they are the largest and most usetVd to man. When the elephant is once tamed, it is the most gentle and od)e-di-ent of'all animals. Its attachment to ito keeper is re-mark-nd)le, ami it seems to live but to serve anrl obey him.

There are several kinds of boars; such as the black bear, the brown bear, and tlie wliitc bear. The black bear is a strong povvt rful animal, covered with black glossy hair, and is vciy common in North Ampiica. It is said to subsist vvdioliv on ve-;>;e-ta-ble food; but some of them, which have been brought into England, have shown a preference for flesh. They strike with their fore-feet like a cat, seldom use their tusks, but hu*g their assailaats so closely, that they almost squeeze them to death, After becoming pretty fat in autumn, these animals retire to their dens, and continue six or seven weeks in total in-ac-ti-vi-ty and abstinence from food. The white or Greenland bear, has a pe-cu-li-ar-ly long head and neck, and its limbs are of a pro-di-gi-ou3 size and strength : its body frequently measures thirteen feet in length.

How can I disturb it ? said the Lamb, in a great fright : the stream flows from you to me ; and I assure you that I did not mean to give you any offence. That may be, replied the Wolf; but it was only yesterday that I saw your Sire encouraging the Hounds that wefe pursuing me.

A MORiL TALI. In a village, at a small distance from the metropolis, lived a wealthy husbandman, who had two sons, William and Taomas ; the former of whom was exactly a year older than tlie other. On the day when his second son was born, the husbandman filanted in his orchard two young apple-trees of an equal size, on which he bestowed the same care in cultivating ; and they throve so much alike, that it was a difficult matter to say which claimed the preference. As soon as the children were capable of using garden im- plements, their father took them, on a fine day, early in' the spring, to see the two plants he had reared for them, and called after their names. William and Thomas having much admired the beauty of these trees, now filled with blossoms, their father told them, that he made them a present of the trees in good condition, which would continue to thrive or decay in proportion to the labour or neglect they received. Thomas, though the youngest son, tunied all his attention to the improvement of his tree, by clearing it of insects as soon as he discovered them, and propping up the stem that it might grow perfectly upright. He dug about it, to loosen the earth, that the root m^ght receive nourishment from the warmth of the sun, and the moisture of the dews. No mother could nurse her child more tenderly in its infancy than Thomas did his tree. ; His brother WiUiam, hovrover, pursued a very different conduct : for he loitered away his time in the most idle and mischievous manner, one of his principal amusements being to throw stones at people as they passed. He kept company with all the idle boys in the neighbourhood, with whom he was continually fighting, and was seldom without either a black eye or a broken skin. His poor tree was neglected, and never thought of till one day in Autumn, when by than aiid own iiio inste ' ■ ^ .■- J k'i/ ->! WILLIAM A17D THOMAS. 101 )olis, lived lliam and older than isbandman equal size, ; and thev say which garden im- arly in' the and called ch admired their father (68 in good proportion attention insects as «m that it to loosen from the So mother m Thomas different idle and fnts being company I whom he either a I neglected, I when by chance, «eeing his brother's tree loaded with the finest apples, aiid almost ready to break down with the weight, ho ran to his own trre, not doubting that he should find it in the same pleas- ing condition. Great, indeed, were hia disappointment and surnrisft, when, instead of finding the tree loaded with excellent truit, he be- held nothing hut a few withered leaves, and branches covered with mosH. lie instantly went to his father, and complainec of his ])artiality in giving him a tree that was worthless anc barren, while his brother's produced the most luxuriant fiuit and he thought that his brother should, at least, give him half of hisi a|)[)les. His father told him, that it was by no means reasonable that the industrious s^hould give U[) part of their labour to feed the idle. " If your tree," said he, " has })roduced yoi nothing, it is but a just reward of your indolence, since yoi see what the industry of your brother has gained him Your tree was equally full of blossoms, and grew in the same soil ; but you j>aid no attention to the culture of it. Your brother sulfered no visible insects to remain on his tree; but you neghcted that caution, and suft'ered them tc eat up the very buds. As I caimot bear to see even plants perish through neglect, I must now take this tree from you, and give it to your brother, whose care and attention may possibly restore it to its former vigour. The fruit it pro- duces shall be his property, and you nmst no longer con.^ider yourselt as ha\'ing any right in it. However, you may go to my nursery, and there choose any other which you may Uke better, and try what you can do with it ; but if you neglect to take pioper care of it, I shall r?»l,e that also from you, and give it to your brother as a reward for his superior industry and attention." This had the desired effect on William, who clearly per- ceived the justice and propiiety of his father's reasoning, and instantly went into the nursery to choose the most thriving apjile-tree he could meet with. His brother Thomas as- sisted him in the culture of his tree, advising him in what manner to proceed; and William made the best use of his time, and the instructions he received from his brother.
