JOHN P- ALDRIDGE, Lancasterian Tcachct ADVERTISEMENT. THi\ folio wmg work, which comprises near iiftecn thou» sand useful words explained, will be found disposed in the following order. Having treated of the principles of pro- nunciation, of the sounds of letters, of diphthongs and trip- tfv.M^gs, of orthography, of the laws of simple and compound^ of primitive and derivative words, of the rules for retaining or retrenching the e final in compound words, of the termina- tions able and ible added to words ending with c final, ha- ving shown when the final c is to be retained or retrenched, witli the prineipal exceptions to these general rules, of the nature and impoitance of accent, as far as is necessary for this work, as the words of the same number of syllables accent- ed alike, are placed under one and the same head. The first tabk shows the use of tiie final e in monosylla- bles. 'I'ablc the second, contains words of one syllable alike in soil nd and natural to. the ear, and therefore easy to be spel- led and pronouneed.

The fol- lowing lb an exact definition of a vowel and consonant. A vowel i J a simple articulate sound complete in itself, and formed by one effusion of the breath, without any change of position of the organs of speech, from the instant the sound, begins, until it ends. A consonant -is a simple ar-^ liculatt sound in itself imperfect, but joined with a vowel produces a complete sound, by a contact of the organs of speech. Consonants may be divided into mutes and semi vowels, b, p. t, d, k, and c and g hard, being mutes cannot be sounded without the addition of a vowel ; f, 1, m, n, r, V, s, z. X, and c and g soft, being semi vowels, have an imperfect sound of thr mselves ; 1, m, n, r, are called liquids from their flowing as it were, into the sounds of otl er con- sonants. The union of two vowels produced Dv a single impulse of the voice, is called a diphthong j asow in sound. The union of three vowels in like manner, is callea a triph- thong ; as icw in view, A proper diphthong has both the vowels sounded as oi in voice. An improper diphthong iias but one of the vowels sounded, as ca in eagle. THE SOUND OF THE LETTERS IN GENERAL^ First of the Voweh^ A has four sounds, viz : the long, as in fate, the middle^ ias in lar, father, the broad as in fall, water, the short as in fat. K has two sounds, the long e, as in here, medium : a short one as in met, it has the sound of short u in England yes and pretty. 1 has two sounds, a long one as in fine, pine, a short one as in fin, pin, O has four sounds, a long one as o in note, notice, it has a long close sound, as in prove, move, a long broad sound, as in lor, nor, a short broad sound as in got, not.

F has an unvaried sound in the beginiii!!.r, mid- dle and end of wjids, except m Of, in which it has tlie Ha^: sound of V, but not in composition, as whereof. G has two sounds, one hard as in gun, the other hoic as m giant ; it is hard at the end of a word, as in nag ; it is hard before a, o, u, 1, r; it is soft before e, i. and y ; gh in the beginning of a word, has the sou'^'' "*' ^^'^'-^ ghastly, in the middle and at the end i- mii:^hty ; it has tlic sound of/^in cough ; soiuctiiHcS 0!ily is sounded, a?\ burgh, burgher. i-I in the beginning of words is sometimes silent, as in hour ; ii is silent before r, as in rhetoric, final h is silen* \vhen a vowel precedes, as in Hannah.

X has three sounds, viz : it is sounded like z, at the be* ^ginning ol proper names of Greek original, as in Xanthus ; it has a sharp sound like ks, ending a syllable with the accent upon it, as exit, or when the accent is on the next syllable ; ii it begins with a consonant, as excuse ; it has generuliy -4 fiat sound like ^z when the accent is not on it, as eg zcrt, eg Ziamplc. ,.^ When Y is a consotiant, it has nearly the sound of ^^, but when a vowel, it has the sound of i, as parly, fancy.

A DERVISE travelling through Tart^ij^', being arrived at the town of Balk, went into the king's palace by mistake, as thinking it to be a public inn or caravansaiy. Having looked about him ibr some time, he entered into a long galiery,^ where he laid down his wallet, and spread his carpet, in order to repose himself upon it after the mramer of the eastern nations. He had not been long in this posture before he was discovered by some of the guai'ds, w^ho asked him w^hat was his business in that place. 'Die Dervise told them he intended to take u^? his night's lodg- ing ill that caravansary. The guards let him know, in a very angrv manner, that the house he w^as in was not a caravansary^ but the king's palace. It happened that the king himself passed hiough the galkry during this debate, and smiling at the mis- "ikc of the Dervise, asked him hovrhe could possibly be so dull as not to distinguish a palace from a caravansarv. Sir, says the Dervise, give me leave to ask )0ur majeS|t\^ a question or two. Who were the persons that lodged in this house w^hen it was first built I The king replied his ancestors. And w^ho, says the Der- vise, Avas the last person that lodged here ? The king replied^ His father. And who is it, says the DcrvisCj that lodges here at present ? The king told hiiii, that it was he himself. And whA savs the Dervise, will be here after you ? The king-answ^ered, the voung prince his son. ^'•Ah, Sir," said the Dervise, ''a hou^e wh \t changes its inhabitants so often, and receives such a perpe- tual succession of guests^ is not a palace, but a caravansary."

WE are toM that the Sultan Mahmoud, by his perpetual wa?^ abroad, and his tyranny at home, had filled his dominions with ruin iind desolation, and half unpeopled the Persian Empire.— The visier to this great Sultan (whether an humourist or an en- tp.usiast, w^c are not informed) pretended to haye learned of a certain Dervise to understand the language of birds, so that there v^as not a bird that could open his mouth, but the visier knew iyi>at it was he sjvld.

The V. ,.i;>aLhed ihe tree, pretending to bo very at- ntive to die two owls. Upon his return to the Sultan, Sir, says , I have h.-ard paitof th^ir conversation, but d:^r<* not tell you hat it is. The Sultan would not be satisfied- with such an an- .^vtr, but forced him to repeat word for word ever}' thing the jwIs had said. You m^st know then, said thevisier, diat one 1 these owls has a son, and the other ad lUghter, between whom .cy are now upon a treaty of marriage. The f^trher of the son said to the father of die daughter, in m\' h r jtlier, I con- sent to this marriage, provided you will s-. ,i your daugh- ter fifty ruined villages for her portion. To which die father of the daughter repiie J, instead of hfiy 1 will give her five hundred, ; \ou please.

He sj.idhe had come last from Spain, where he had been from. the furthest borders of Franconia : aiKl had got so far on his re- turn home, when his ass died. Everv one seemed desirous to know what business could have taken so old and poor a man, so. far a journey from his own home. It had pleased Heav'en, he said, to bless him with three sons, the finest lads in all Germany ; but having in one week lost two of them by the small-pox, and the youngest falling ill of the same distemper, he was afraid of being bereft of them all, and made a vow, if Heaven would not take him from him also, he would go m e:ratiiude to St. J ago in Spain.^ When the mourner got thus far in his story, he stopped to pa/ nature h( r tribute — and wept bitterly. He said Heaven had accepted the conditions ; and that he had set our from his cottage with this poor creature, who bad been a patient partner of his journey — that it had eat the same bre?jd witli him all the way, and was unto him as a friends Every body who stood about, heard the poor fellow with con- cern.

SECOND PART, WHEN we had got within half a league of Moulines, at 3> little opening in the road leading to a thicket, I discovered poor Maria sitting under a poplar — she was sitting with her elbow in her lap, and her head leaning on one side within her hand — a small brook ran at the foot of the tree. I bad the postilion go on with the chaise to Moulines — and Le Eleur to bespeak my supper-- — and that I would walk aftei^ him. She was dressed in white, and much as my friend described her, except that her hair hung loose, which before was twisted with a silk net. She had, superadded likewise to her jacket, a pale gi'een ribband which fell across her shoulder to the waist ; at the end ot which hung her pipe. Her goat had been as faith- less as her lover ; and she had got a little dog in lieu of him, which she had kept tied by a string to htr girdle ; as I looked at the dog she drew him tovvards her with the string — " Tnou shalt not leave me, Sylvio," said she. 'I looked in iVI aria's e}-es, and saw she wa^gihiiikiiig more of her faiher than of her lover or her littk goat ; For as she uttered them, the tears trickled down her cheeks.

You have been long enovigh employed in driving the cattle upon the vast mountains of Lusitania and Celtiberia ; you have hitherto met with no reward worthy of the labours and dangers you have undergone. The time is now come to reap the iFull recompence of your toilsome marches over so many mountains ana rivers, and through so many nations, all of them in arms. This is the place which fortune has appointed to be the limits of your labours ; it is here that you will finish your glorious warfare, and receive an ample recompence of y:our com- pleted service- For I would not have you imagine, that victory ' will be as difficult as the name of a Roman war is great and sounding. It has often happened that a despised enemy has triven a bloody battle, and that the most renowned kings and na- tions have by a small force been overthrown. And if you but take away the glitter oi the Roman name, what is there, where- in they may stand in competition with you? For (to say no- thing of your service in war for twenty years together with so much valour and success) from the very pillars of Hercules, from the ocean, from the utmost bounds of the earth, through so ma- ny warlike nations of Sp'Un and (?aul, are you not come hither victorious ?

When you will behold the almost unequalled Han- nibal, after overrunning all Spain, crossing the Pyrenian moun- tains into Gaul, through which more than dreadfid country, he passed in a few davs, in spite of all the combined opposition from nature and from the terrific forces and arms of tlie fierce inha- bitants of the country, and exploring a pass over the frightful Alps, and marching down into the plains of Italy, with his re- 5aaining force, and threatening destruction even to the mistress of the world; when you will see this h&ro immortalizing the banks of Trebia, Thrasmene and Aufidus, by his victorious bat- tles. When you will see the renowned Cipios gaining immor- tality, one for the overthrowing and reduction of the mighty Carthage ; the other not more for his victories, than for liis hu- m?iriity and moderation. When you will behold Mikiades in the plains of ISIarathon, with his little army of Athenian patriots op- posing and putting to rout, a hundred and twenty thousand men, Avhich composed the great army of C}tus, and which advanced like a mighty torrent to lay w^aste the lands. When you will see Leonidas and his three hundred Spartans, for two days, not only disputing the pass of Thermopyise with Xerxes, but even repulsing his hosts consisting of millions. When you will be- hold Themistocles ot the straits of Salamis, with an inconsider- ate force destroying the whole Persian fleet. With what delight will you survey the fields of Platea rendered glorious by the en- lire overthrow of three hundred thousand fighting men, the re- f\iains of that army v.hich Xerxes brought into Greece, of which scarcely one was left to return with the news. But these heroes were freemen and warriors, and taught from their child-hood to abhor slavery as a monster more frightful tlian death, and to -worship liberty as tJie greatest of Goddesses, and being animat- ed and inflamed with the love of glory by the eloqueifc- of their *renerals, Luid by the songs of their poets, were deteriuined not U) sur' iv2 the iibertfc of their co«jiiitr}'. axju ir'A.ioi:: EXPOsiTon, < - Vou will no douht, coutcmplnt:' with unspeakable delight, tlio glorious emancipation of the United SAtcs, your native soil, under the ever to he remembered Washinj^on and the heroes oi' tlie Revolution, whose patriotisin and valour should never he for- gotten, by d\ose who still enjoy their libert)', iuid live within the hearing of tvTants, whose ears •>'•'• vvv r^n*, n.l. ,T l^m wUh t^^.■ voice of liberty and virtue.

Ulysses the wisest of the Greeks will bear testimony to this rviscrtion, who in order to inform himself of the wisdom and policy of other nations, spent many years in visiting a few ports almost contiguous to his own coumr\', and in these researches, he lost by far the greatest part of his vessels and troops, which re- turned with him from the coast of Troy ? and had he notbc^en him- seU endowed with superior wisdom and forecast, he should have fallen a victim, either to the power and infatuating allurements «r the sorceress Circe and Goddess Calipso, or perished by the melodious, but cruel harmony of the Sirens. In Sicily, indeed, his destruction seemed inevitable, when he strayed into the cave of giant Polyphemus, who supped that night upon two of his companions, itnd Ulysies himself witli some others were destined for the monster's breakfast.

The advanta>.^e of the increasing experience of ages, has open- ed to you, all those avenues of knowledge which had been shut out from their inquisitive mind^** The Compass, whose strange and invaluable virtue has been the abundant source of discoveries and intelligence, had not been knov/n until thirteen hundred, without which it was more than madness to attempt the intmense, and unknown oceans. The art of printing had not been known until fourteen hun* dred and thirty ; the want of which shut out the great bulk of mankind 4rom any knowledge of letters, among whom, must have been many Homers, Virgils, Archimedeses, Newtons, De- mostheneses, Ciceros and even Orpheuses, who could have gone down to dreary Orcus. to regain their uridices.

Of Pronunciation. Set. 1. Of Accent. — Accent is the laying of peculiar force c' voice upon a particular letter or syllable in a word, tliat it may be better heard, than any of the other letters or syllables, and distinguished from them. - Sec. 2 Of Emphasis. — By emphasis, is meant a stronger sound of voice, by which we distinguish some word or words, in a sentence, upon which we intend to lay a certain stress, in order to show how they efiect the rest of the sentence If i^it shnvJd place no emphasis, our reading or discourse woul^ AN 1 J «^t.7.> V^IO Mv. 14 t become not only litVlcss and ir,'>i[)id, but our nv .ould be oftm donStful.

AC snperiour gives the meaning of a sentence, with relation lo wliut was said before, presupposed b\ the speaker, as to l>o generally known^ or removes a doubt, where a paswge ma • nave more meanings than one. The inferiour c;/yi>rct'v, ^r c}ilivvusy but does not determine t!v^ meaning of any , The words to which this latter < is ^ivcn, are hi ^ - cral, such as seem the most im- .i tlie sentence, cr <> i ijr accounts to deserve tms diitmction* Th'! following p.r^ ' nny ser»'e to exemplify the superiour cmnhas -.

To use emphasis, therefore, too frequently, prcdaces as bad an effect as nr t to use them at alh Sec. 3 Of Pau-nes. — A pause, or rest, in speakint^ or reading, is a f^essation of voice for a perceptible time* Pauses are necessary both t speakers and hearers — to the speaker, that he, in that time, may tak iiis breath and relieve the organs of speech, vvhich would other\\ise soo.^ b^ tired by continual action — to the hearer, that the ear may be relieved irom being obliged to attend, without ceasing to a continued sound of voice. Hy pauses the uixlerstanding has also sufficient leisure to mark the difference cf sentences, and the several members of sen- tences. 'SVr. 4 — Some pauses are emphaticai, others mark the distinction? ' z>f the sense. An emphaticai pause is made after scmethin'g of impor- tance has been said, upon which the speaker wishes t-o hx the attention of the audience. The speaker often, before such a thing is said^ ir.trcdu- ccs it with a pause ri this nature. Care should be taken not to repeat :-uci\ pauses too frequently. Emphaticai pauses generaliy excite great attention, and con.seqnently raise gieat expectation in the hearers ; if, therefore, the importance of the subject does not answer the expeq- ration, such pauses produce diss^ppointmcnt, and give disgust. Pauses 'in- i'i;?.dm^ or speiiking should be h;rmed up; n tiie same principles, by Vs'hich good speakers deln cv themscUeh h-. C(.mnusn and R^-nsible (^isCoUf^Cv There is a general rule, Avhich teaches, that the susptiiding paufcc j-hould'^ i^smade, where the sense is not complete ; and, the closing pause should be used when the sense is complete and finished. Sec. 5 Of Tones. — Tones consist in the notes and various sounds, which are employed to express our sentiments. There is not an act of the mind, and exertion of the fancy, or an emotion of the heart, which has not its peculiar ^one, or note of voice, by which it is to be expressed ; and which is suited exactly to the degree of internal feelings. It is in the right use of these tones, that the life, spirit, beauty and harmony, of de- ivery consists. Sec. 6. — As the art of reading depends greatly upon the due nianage- TTient of the breath, it should be used mith great economy — the voice siior.W be relieved at every stop — slightly at a comma, with more leisure at a semi-colon, or colon, and at a period, the reader should take in his full supply of breath. By due attention to thvs rule, the reader will pre- vent a broken, faint and lauguid voice, which is a usual fault ; by this rule the reader or speaker will be enabled to preserve the due com in and of his voice, and to pronoimce-the longest sentence with ease to acquire freedom and energy in his expressions ; while he commuh> Cfetes his ideas, his emotions, and passions.

The happy consequence of this filial dut}- naturally leads ouri youth to love honour and obey their instructers ; to esteem them as the tender fosterers of their mind, which is by far, the most* noble part ; to look upon them as the sources, from which they derive the sentiments of honour and probity towiucs mrnkind and pietv owardsthtir Creator. — The gen;kmanly conduct and ^leasing address, the prcfundily of lecrning, whi^h our youth ^^ossess over those af other nt^ticns, ma5- wcilbe attributed to their love and respect for their ttitcrs* Their prudent parents unci guardians are righty persuaded indeed, that esteem and love for their teachers is, by far a grerter incitement to learn, than all the severity, which ecn be made use of-— This we daily see exemplyfied by several excellent European teachers, Mho had been, themselves compelled to lesrn by the very ungentle i^ifiuence of stripes, and who here <:ndeavouv to make the same means effectual with their own pupils ; but experience soon ^convinces them, that there is an incomparable difi'treDce between 'the delicate feelings of the freoborn children of American citi- zens and these of European slaves; and that the noble spirit of the fcrmer will not bear the lash, while the latter v/ill not learn without the timely aid of wholesome fiageilatipn. Indeed therq "is a maxim which will hold good in every countr)', that the chil- dren cf proper parents seldom require correction at school ; and when it happens cthenvise, it is a shure indication of a perverse dispcsiticn. The Am.erican people, with good reason, look upon •t, as a severe vel^eike to the propriety of their own conduct, to hav£ their children corrected at school ; and we should look upon her, as an unfeeling mother, \v ho Would not sympathize in the day's disasters of her promising child; ail this must add ex- tremely to the delicate icelings of our children.

THE SLAVERY OF VICE. The slavery produced by vice appears in tlie dependence un- tier which it brings the sinner, to circumstances of external for- tune. One of the favourite characters of liberty, is the indepen- dence it bestows.- He who is truly a freeman is above all servile compliances, and abject subjection. He is able to rest upon him- self ; and while he regards his superioii^s v/ith proper deference, neither debases himself by cringing to them, nor is tempted to purchase tkeir favour by dishonourable means. But the sinner Has forfeited every privilege of this nature. His passions and habits render him an absolute dependent on the world, and the world's favour ; on the uncertain goods of fortune, and the fickle Humours of men. For it is by these he subsists, and among these his happiness is sought ; according as his passions deter- mine him to pursue pleasures, riches, or preferments. Having iiO fund within himself vv^hence to draw enjoyment, his only re- source is in things w^ithout. His hopes and fears all hang upon the world. He partakes-in all its vicissitudes ; and is moved and . ;^kaken by every wind of fortune. This is to be, in the strictest sense, a slave to the world, " Eeligioa i-nd virtue, on the other hand, confer on the mind prindples of noble independence. " The vipright man is satisfi- ed from himself." He despises not the advantages of fortune, but he centres not his happiness in them. . With a moderate shiue of them he canbe coateated; and contifntment is felicity. AND CONCISE EXPOSITOR tsi Hnppy in hh own intej^ity, conscious of the esteem of good men, ix^posing firm trust in the providence, and the promises of God, he is exempted from servile dependence on other Uiings. He can wrap himself up in a good conscience, and look forward without terror, to the change of the world. Let all things shift around him as they please » he believes that, by the Divine ordi- nation, they shall he made to work together in the issue of his good : and therefore, having much to hope frojn God, and little to fear frcm the world, he can be easy in every state. One who possesses within himself such an establishment of mind, is truly free. But shall I call that man free, who has nothing that is his own, no property assured ; whose very heart is not his own, but rendered the appendage of external things, and the sport ot for- tune ? Is that man free, let his outward condition be ever so splendid, whom kis imperious passions detain at their call, whom they send forth at their pleasure, to drudge and toil, and to beg his ow n enjoyment from the casualties of the world ? Is he free, who must flatter and lie to compass his ends ; who must bear with this man's caprice, and that man's scorn ; must profess friendship where he hates, and respects where he contemns ; "who is not at liberty to appear in his own colours, nor to speak in his own sentiments ; who dares not be honest, lest he should be poor ? — Believe it, no chains bind so hard, no fetters are so heavy, as those that fasten the corrupted heart to this treacher- ous w'orli ; no depend,;nce is more contemptible dian that un- der which the voluptuous, the covetous, or the ambitious man, li^es to the means ol pleasure, gain or power. Yet this is the boasted liberty, which vice promises, as the recompense of set- gus free from the salutary restraints of virtue. blairS ^ ;tf-: — CHAP. XiV. Tin: >■ AN OF INTK'.M.i . ,. It wiU* not take much time to delineate the character of the man of integrity-, as by its nature it is a plain one, and easily underslood. H« is one^vho makes it his constant rule to follow tlie road of duty, according as the word of (iod, and the voice of his conscience, point it out to him. He is not guided merely by affections, m hich may sometimes give the colour of virtue a loose and unstable character. The upright man is guided ) a li^kCd principle of mind, which determines him to esteenv 152 A NEW PRONOUNCING SPELLING BODKy nothing but what is honourable ; and to abhor whatever is baSe v and unworthy, in moral conduct. Hence we find him ever the same ; at all times, the trusty friend, the affectionate relation, the conscientious man of business, the pious worshipper, the public spirited citizen. He assumes no borrowed appearance. He seeks no mask to cover him ; for he acts no studied part ; but he is indeed what he appears to be, full of truth, candour, and hu- manity. In all his pursuits, he knows no path but the fair and direct one ; and would much rather fail of success, than attain it by reproachful means. He never shows us a smiling counten- ance, while he meditates evil against us in his heart. He never praises us among our friends ; and then joins in traducing us among our enemies. We shall never find one pan of his char- acter at varience with another. In his mramers, he is simple and unaffected ; in all his proceedings, open and consistent. CHAP. XV. SENSIBILITY. Dear Sensibility ! source mexhausted of all that*s precious ta out- joys, or cosdy in our sorrows ! thou chainest thy martjrr down upon his bed of straw, and it is thou who liftest^him up to Heaven. Eternal Fountain of our feelings; It is here I trace thee, and this is thy divinity which stirs within me : not, that in some sad and sickening moments, "- my soul shrinks back upon herself, and startles at destruction"- — mere pomp of words ! — but that I feel some generous joys and generous cares beyond my- self — all comes from thee, great, great Sensorium of the world V which vibrates, if a hair of our head but falls upon the ground^" in the remotest desert of thy creation. - Touched with thee, Eu- genius draws my curtain when I languish; hears my tale of symptonls, and blames the weather for the disorder of his nerves. Thou givest a portion of it sometimes to the roughest peasant who traverses the blackest mountains. He finds the lacerated lamb of another's fiock. This moment I behold him leaning with his head against his crook, with piteous inclination looking down upon it — Oh ! had I come one moment sooner ! — it bleeds to death — his gentle heart bleeds with it. Peace to thee, generous swain ! I see thou walkest off with anguish — but thy joys shall balance it; for happy is thy cottage, and happy is the sharetof itj and happy are the lambs which sport about you. Sterne* CHvr. XVI.

I was in a right frame for it, and so I gave ♦nil scope to my imagination. I was roin^ to b^gin with the millions of my fellow creatures t)orn to no inheritance but slavery; but finding, however affect- ing the picture wr.s, that I could not bring it near mc, and that the multitude of s.id groups in it did but distract me — — — I took a sin2;le captive, and having fi»^st shut him up in his dungeon, I th ' ' . •> '••n idi anoihtr \^ He was ' ,un u liiil: Ltr...v, in t'n '.rthest ( 1 was aitt maleh- his d i alicile c .

My young master in London is dead, said Obadiah- -Here is sad'news, Trim, cried Susannah, wiping her eyes as Trim stepped into the kitchen,. — master Bobby is dead, I lament for him from my heart and my soul, -said Trim, fetching a sigh poor creature! poor boy! poor gentleman ! He was alive lastWhitsur.tide, said the coachman, — Whitsun- tide ! alas ! cried Trim, extending his right arm,, and falling in- stantly into the same attitude in which he read the sermon,-—/ what is Whitsuntnle, Jonathan, (for that was the coachman's name) or Shrovetide, or any tidfe or time past, to this ? Are wc not here now, continued the corporal, (striking the end of his stick perpendicular upon the floor, so as to give an idea of health and stability) and are wenot (dropping his hat upon the ground gone ! In a momenf ! — It was itifinitely striking ! Susan- nah burst: into a flood of tears. We are not stocks and stones— Jonathan,- Obadiah, the cook-maid, all melted. — The ft>olish fat scullion herself, who was scouring a fish-kettle upon her knees, wa,s roused with it. — The whole kitchen crouded about the corporal. *' Are we not here now,. — and gone in a moment?" There was nothing in the sentence-— it was one of your self-evident. truths we have the advantage of hearing every day ; and it Trim had not trusted more to his hat, than his head, he had made noth- ing at all of it. " Are we not here now, continued the corporal, and are " wc not" (dropping his hat plump upon the ground— and pausing, before he pronounced the word) *'gone ! in a moment :" The descent of the hat was as if a heavy lump of clay had been knead- ed into the crown of it. Nothing could have expressed the sen- timent of mortality, of which it was the type and forerunner, like it ; his .hand seemed to vanish from imder it, it fell dead, the corporal's eye fixed upon it, as upon a corpse, — and Susannah b^irst into a flood of tears.

It is accompanied with so gre-^t inward satisfaction, that the duty is sufficiently rewarded by the performance. It is not, like the^Jpractice of many other virtues, difficult and painful, but attended with so mr ch pleasure, that were there no positive rommand'which enjoined it, nor any recompense laid up for it hereafter, a generous mind would indulge in it, for che natural -Jp^tification which it affords.
