He seldom lives frugally, who lives by chance. Most men are more willing to indulge in easy vices, tlipn to practice laborious virtues. A man may mistake the love of virtue for the prac- tice ^f it ; iind be less a good man, than the friend of goodness. Without frugality, none can be rich ; i^d with it, few would be poor. - ' - Moderation and mildness, often effect what cannot be done by force. A Persian writer finely observes, tliat " a gentle hand leac'istheelephanthimself by ahair." The most necessary part of learning is,' to unleara lour errors. Small parties make up in diligence what they want in numbers. Some talk of subjects which they do not understand* others praise virtue, who do not practice if No persons are more apt to ridicule or censure ^others, than those who are most apt to be giiilty of follies and faults. f^ ift 112 An Easy Standard of Pronunciation, TABLE XLVII.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY; OR, The Ili^tonj of Thrifty and Untiiripty THERE is a great diflorence among men, in their abilitv to gam property; but a still greater ditierence in their power of using It to advantage. Two men may acquire tlie same amount of money, in a^iven time; yet one will prove to be a poor man, while the other becomes rich. A chief and essen- tml difference m the management of property, is, that one man spends only the intern/ of his, money, Vhile another spends I know a farmer by the name of Thrifty, who ma- nages his anairs in this m mner : He rises early in the mommg, looks to the condition of his house, barn, home- fj a"<^'''t^j:l<— "f* that his cattle, horses, and hogs are 'pa; €.Xntajnes ine tools to see whether they are all in good order for the workmen— takes care that breakfast js ready in due season, and begins work in the cool of the day—When in the field, he keeps steadily at work, thmm,, „ot to violently as to iUtigwe and exhaust t^e Lq, ''ii f'( thpugl l52 An Easy Standard of Pronunciation. dy — nor does he stop to tell or hear long stories — ^VVhen the labaur of the day is past, he takes refreshment, and goes to rest at an early hour — in this manner he earns and gains money. When Thrifty has acquired a little property, he does not spend it or let it slip from him, without use or bene- fit. He pays his taxes and debts when due or called for, so that he has lio officers fees to pay, nor expenses of c surts. He does not frequent the tavern and ^ drink up ail his earnnigs in liquor that does hira no good. He puts his money to use, that. is, he buys more land, or stock, or lends his money at interest — in short, he ra«kes his money produce some profit or income. These sav- ings and profits, tb.ough small by themselves, amount in a year to a considerable sum, and in a few years, they ' swell to an Estate — Thriftij becomes a wealthy farmer, with several hundred acres of land, and a hundred head of cattle. Very different is the management of Unthrifty: He lies in bed, till a late hour in t!'e morning— then ri- ses, and goes to the Dottle for a di'am, or to the tavern for a glass of bitters — thus he spends six cents before breakfast, for a drain that makes him dull and heavy all day. He gets his breakfast late, when he ought to be at work — When he supposes he is ready to begin the work of the day, he finds he has not the necessary tools, or some of them are out of order,-»-the plow-share is to be sent half a mile to a blacksmith to be mended ; a tooth oi- two in a rake or the handle oi a hoe, is broke; or a sythe or an ax is to be ground. — Now, he is in a great hurry, he bustles about to make preparation for work — and what is done in a hurry is ill dor.e — he loses a part of tiie day in getting ready — and perhaps the time of his workmen. At tea or eleven o'clock, he is ready to go to work — then comes a boy and tells him, the sheep have escaped from the pasture — or the cows have got among his corn — or the hogs iiiio ilio garden — He frets and storms, and runs to drive them out — a half hour or more time is lost in driving the cattle ifrom mischief, and re- pairing a poor broken fence — a fence that answei no purpose but to lull him into securfty, and teach his hor- ses and cattle to be unruly. , \fter all this bustle, the fa- tigue of \ ready to half his from wan crops aw barn is o] jured by ditlon — tl water, w decay — ai and chile chief clos oines ant of disapp the sherif This is spent — he Not ur This man he cannot should be he makes a small c let us ma nmn who cents a dt half — a si surely is n ten years, five dollar amount is money en amount in dollars ! in liquoi — tain a sra »llinrt flf an amount of let — in ten half— and i thirty-sevei m. ries — When Innent, and !r he earns :y, he does ise or bene- r called for, expenses of 1 drink up good.

His small crops ar^ damaged or destroyed by unruly cattle.— His barn is open and leaky, and what little he gathers is in- jured by the rain and sncw.— His house is in a like con- dition—the shingles and clapboards fall off and let in the water, which causes the timber, floors and furniture to decay — and exposed to inclemencies of weather, his wife and children lall sick— their time is lost, and the mis- chief closes with a ruinous train of expenses for medi- cines and physicians.— After dragging out some years of disappointment, misery and poverty, the lawyer and the sheriff sweep away the scanty remains of his estate. This is the history of Unthhifty— his principal is spent — he has no interest. ]\ot unlike this, is the history of the Grog-drinker. This .nan wonders why he does not thrive in the world : he cannot see the reason why his neighbour Temperance should be more prosperous than himself— but in truth he makes no calculation. Ten cents a day for gi'og, is a small r,um, he thinks, which ran hurt no man ! But let us make an estimate — arithmetic is very useful for a man who ventures to spend small sums every day.

Malt liquors, mulasscs and water, milk and watCi', contain nutriu'^ot, and even cider is not wholly desti- tute of it — but distilled spirituoas liquors contain little or none. But says the labourer or the traveller, "spirituous li- quors warm the stomach, and ;ire very useful in cold weather" — No, this is not con-ect. Spirits enliven the feelings for half an hour — but leave the body more dull, languid and cold that it was before. A man will freeze tlie sooner tibr drinking spirits o( any kind. If a man wishes to guard against cold, let him cat a biscuit, a bit of bread, or a mcA of vict!!;>ls. I'our ounces of bread will give a more durable warmth to the boily, than a gallon of. spirits — food is the natural stimulant or exciting power of the human bodj^ — it gives warmth and strength, and does not leave the body, as spirit does, more feeble and languid. — The practice of drinking sj)irits gives a man red eyes, a bloated face, and an empty purac — It injures the liver, produees dropsy, occasions a trembling of the joints and limbs, and closes life with a slow decay or palsy — This is a short history of tlie drinker of distilled spirits. If a few drinking men are found to be exceptions to this "account, still the reniiirks are true, as they apply to most cases.

Here is a carpenter, he squares a post or p. beam ; he scores or notches it first, and then hewa it with his broad-ax. He bores Imlcs with an auger, and with the help of a chisel, forms a mortise for a tenon. He measures with a square or rule, and marks his work with a compass. Each timber is fitted to its place. The sills support the posts, and these support the beams. Braces secure the frame of a building from swaying or leaning — Girders and joists support the floors ; studs, with the posts, support the walls, and rafters uphold the roof. Now comei the joiner with his chest of tools. He planes the boards, joints the shingles, and covers the building — \^ ith his saw he cuts boards, with his gimblet or wimble, he makes holes for nails, pins or spikes — with his chisel and gouge, he makes mortises. Then comes the mason with his trowel — the laths are nailed to the studs and joists to support the plaster ; fi'-^t a rough coat of coarse mortar of lime and sand is laid on, and this is covered with a beautiful while plaster ; and last of all comes the painter with his brush and oil- pots — he mixes the oil and white lead, and givts to the apartments the colour which the owner or his lady sees fh to direct. A MORAL CATECHISM. Question. What is moral virtue ? Answer. It is an honest upright conduct in all our deal- ings with men. Q. Jf^hat rules have we to direct us in our moral con^ duct f A. God's word, contained in the bible, has furaished all lecessary rules to direct our conduct. Q. In what part of the bible are these rules to be found? A, In almost every part ; but the most important duties between men are summed up in the beginning of Matthew in Christ's Sermon on the Mount. ■ Q. W A. A Q. ;/' A.

Q. What is humility f , 167 A. A lowly temper of mind. Q. jr/iat are the advantages of humility ? A. The advajitages of humility in this life are very nn^ merous and great. The humble man has few or no ene- nms. Every one loves him and is ready to do him rood. II He IS rich and prosperous, people do not envy him ; "if he « p<)or and unfortunate, every one pities lum,and is dhposed to alleviate Ins distresses. Q. Whatis pride? ' ' . A. A lofty high minded disposition. Q. Is pride commendable? A. By no means. A modest self-approving opinion of our own good deeds is very right- It is natural— it is airree- able, and a spur to good actions. But we should not suifer our hearts to be blown up with pride, whatever great and good deeds we have done ; for pxide brings upon us' the ill- will of mankind, and the displeasure of our Maker. Q. What effect has humility upon our own minds ^ A. Humility is attended with peace of mind and self-sa- tisjaction. The humble man is not disturbed with cross ac- cidents, and is never fretful and uneasy; nor does he r* pine when others grow rich. He is contented, because his mind Is at case. . Q. What is the effect of pride on a man's happiness 7 A. i'ride exposes a man to numberless disappointments and mortifications. The proud man expects more atten- tion and respect will be paid to him, than he deserves, or tlian others are wiiling to pay him. He is neglected, lau-h- «tl at and despised, and tliis treatment frets him, so that his own mmd becomes a seat of torment. A proud man can- not be a happy man. nMit^ F^^^^^"^ C/wt«/*mW, respecting the virtue of hi- A. He has said, « Blessed are the nonr in snint • r«,. ♦!,«:— Is tJie Kingdom of heaven."

It is tendcrncbs of heart. Q. What are t/ieutli'intagcs of this virtue J \. Tlio cxcrci.se oi' it tends to dilVuso iiappiness and ;essen t.ie evil.H of life. Rulers of a merciful temper will mnke tiielr (rood suhjccts !iappy ; and will not torment the bad, with needl(;s3 severity. Parents and masters will not abuse tlieir children and servants with harsh treat- ment. More love, more confidence, more happiness, will subsist among men, and of course society will be hap- pier. Q. Should not beasts as well as men be treated with mercy ? A. They ouglu indeed. It is wrong to give needles* pain even tOja beast. Cruelty to the brutes shows a man has a hard heart, and if a man is unfeeling to a beast, he will not have much feeling for men. If a man treats his beast with eruelty, beware of trusting yourself in his pow- er. He will probably make a severe master and a cruel husband. Q. How doen cruelly sho:o its effects A. A cruel dispofiitioi; h uflually exercised upon those wlio are under its power. Cruel rulers make severe laws, which injure tiie persons and properties of their subjects. Cruel ollkers execute laws in a severe- manner, when it is not necessary for public good. A cruel husband abuses hi3 wife and children. A cruel master acts the tyrant over hi» apprentices and servants. The effects of cruelty are, hatred, quarrels, tumults, and wretchedness. Q. What does Christ say of the merciful man 1 A. He says he is "blessed, for he shall obtain mercy.** He who shows mercy and tenderness to others, will be treat- ed with tenderness and compassion himself. Op peace-makers. Q. Who are jicacc-makers ? . A, All who endeavour to prevent quarrels and dispute* among men ; or to reconcile those who, me sepaialeu by •trife. Q.

A hcartTree from all bad desires, and inclined to co»- Corm to the divine will in all thin«;s. Q. Should a man's iniaitioris as well at his actions b« good ? A. Most certainly. Actions cannot be called good, un- less they proceed from good motives. We should wish to see and to make all men better !>nd happier — we should re- joice at their pros})erity. This i.s benevolence. Q. What reward if promincd to the pure in heart ? A. Ciirist has declared " tiiey shall see God." A pure heart is like God, and those who possess it t,hall dwell in his presence and enjoy his favour for ever. Oi- ANGER. Q. Is it right ever to he angry 7 A. It is right in certain cases that we should be angry ( as when gross affronts are offered to us, and iivtiries done us by design. A suitable spirit of resentment, in such cases, willobtain justice for us, and protect us from further insults. Q. By what rule ^ould anger be governed? A. We should never be angry without cause ; that is, jure or insult us, before we suffer ourselves to be nngry. It is wrong, it is mean, h is a mark of a little mind to take fire at every little trifling dispute. And when we have real cause to be angry, we should observe modera- 160 Jin Easy Standard of Pronunciation. tion.

In short we should "be angry and siii Op revenge. Q. WJuit is revenge ? A. It is to injure a man because he has injured us, Q. 7s this justifiable ? ' A. Never, in any possible case. Revenge is perhaps the meanest, as well as wickedest vice in society. Q. What shall a man do to obtain Justice when lie is in- jured? A. In general, laws have made provision for doing ju». tice to every man ; and it is right and honourable, when a man is injurdd, that he should seek a reeompence. But a recompence is all he can demand, and of that he should not be is own judge, but should submit the matter to judges ap. pointed by authority. Q. But suppose a man insults tj in such a manner thai the law cannot give us redress ? A. Then .forgive him. «If a man strikes you on on« cheek, turn the other to him," and let him repeat the abuse, Tether than strike him. Q. But if we are in danger from tlie blows of another^ may we not defend ourselves ? A. Most certainly. We have always a right to defend our persons, property, and families. But we Iiave no right to fight ^ and abuse people merely for revenge. It is nobler to forgive. « Love your enemies — bless them that curse you — do good to tliem that hate ;you — pray for them thai use you ill,"— these arc the commands of the bless- ed Saviour of men. Tho man who does this is great and good ; he is as much above the little, mean, re- vengeful man, as virtue is above vice, or as heaven is higher tlian hell, • > Q. What is justice ? A.

Q. What are the ill efccts of injustice? ^ A. If a man does injustice, or rather, if he refuses to do justice, he must be compelled. Then follows a lawsjiit, witlt a senes of expenses, and what is worse, ill blood andenmily between the parties. Somebody is always the worse f^aw- •uits, and ol cobrse society is less happy. ^.^ /-* Op generosity. Q. Whnil9 generosity J A. It is SO! le act of kindness performed for another which ■trict justice does not demand. Q. Is this a virtue ? A. It is indeed a noble virtue To do justice, is well ; but to do more than justice, is still better, ^A mav proceed from noblet motives. ' " Q. What has Christ said respecting generosity ? A. He has commanded us to be generous in this passage, Whosoever shaU comi>el (or. urge) you to go a mile, 00 with him tioo.^'' . ■ ^ Q. Are ice to perfon'm this literally 1 A. The meaning of this command'wlll not always require tjHS.— But in general we are to do more for others than they ask, provided we can do it, without essentiallv injuring ouf- •elves. We ought cheerfully to sufier many Inconveniences to oblige others, though we are not required to do ourselves any essential injury. Q. Oftohat advantage is genernsity to the man who ex- ercises it? A. Ii lays others under obligations to the generous man • and the probability is, that he will be repaid three fold' Every man on earth wants favours at some time or other in his life; and if we will not help oilers, others will not help us. It is for a man's interest to be ."■eppro-js, Q. Ought ise to do kir^d actions because it is for our iti- terestf ^ A.

We ought to do coid as 02 ^ 163 An Easy Standard of Pronunciation, we have opportunity, at all times and to nil men, wliethcr w« expect a reward or not ; for if we do good, somebody is tht happier for it. This alone n reason enough, why we should do dl the good in our power. Of gratitude, Q. What i$ gratitude? A. A thankfulness of heart for favours received. Q. Is it a duty to he thunlcful for favours? A. It is a duty and a virtue. A man who does not feel grateful for kind acts done for him by others, does not deserve favours of any kind. He ought to he sliiit out from the so- ciety of the good. He is worse than a savage, for a savage never forgets aii act of kin«'a;ess. Q. What is tlte effect of true kindness ? A. It softens the heart towards the generous man, nnd every thing, which subdues the pride and other unsocial »< *- sions of the heart, fits a man to be a bettor citi/.en, a better neighbour, a better husband, and a better friend. A man who is sensible of favours and ready to acknowledge them, is more inclined to perforn^ kind offices, not only towaid* his benefactor, but towards all others. Op^TRUTH. Q. What is truth? A. It is speaking and acting agreeable to tact. Q. Is it a duty to speak truth it all times ? A.. If we speaU at all, we siiould tell the truth It is not a ways necessary to tell what we iinow. There are many things which concern ourselves and others which we had bet- ter not publish to the ^vorld. Q. What rules are there respecting the publishing of truth ? A. 1. When we are called upon to testify in courts, we should speak the whole truth, and that without disguise. To leave out small circumstances, or to give a colouring to others, ^ith a view to favour one side more than the other, is to the highest degree criminal. ;, When we know something of pur neighbour wluch k against vent his ( 3.

When we sell any thitig to another, we ought not to represent the article to be better than it really is. If there are laults in it \vhich may easily be seen, the law of man does not require us to inform the buyer of these faults, because ha may see ^hem himself. But it is not honourable nor gene- rous, nor strictly honest to conceal oven apparent faults. But when faults are out of sight, the seller ought to tell the buyer of them. If he does not, he is a cheat and a downright knave. Q. What are the ill effects of lying and deceiving ? A. The man who lies, deceives, or cheats, loses his repu- tation, No person wiil believe him, even when he speaks the truth ; he is shunned as a pest to society. Falsehood and cheating destroy'all confidence between man and man ; they raise jealousies and suspicions amon the mind towards society.
