 This Revised Edition of the Elementary Spelling Book, 
 is most respectfully dedicated by their friend and fel- 
 low-citizen, The Author. 
 
 Entered according to Act of Congress lu the year 1S63, by 
 
 ROBERT FLEMING, 
 
 In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Confederate States of America, 
 
 for the Southern District of Georgia. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 No better Spelling-book than Dr. Webster's has ever been 
 presented to the American people. The unparalleled extent 
 ofits circulation furnishes ample proof of the high estima- 
 tion in which it is held by an enlightened public. For 
 many years it has been almost the only Spelling-book used 
 in the Southern States, as well as in other sections of the old 
 Union ; and his Dictionary may be found in almost every 
 family, occupying, as it deservedly does, a pre-eminence 
 over all others. Hut those friendly relations which once ex- 
 isted between the Northern and Southern States have been 
 severed by a protracted, unjust and oppressive- Federal leg- 
 islation, and thus we have been driven from them, and the 
 channel through which we hav©, hitherto, been accustomed 
 to obtain our supplies is now closed by blockade; the off- 
 spring of an unjustifiable and tyrannical war, which is 
 waged against us by those who should have continued to be 
 our friends. Driven from them never to return, we ask, 
 what must now be done to meet the wants of our Schools 1 
 This is an' important question. 
 
 When the compiler conceived the idea of preparing a 
 Spelling-book to meet fully the necessities of the country, 
 he soon became convinced that to make a better book than 
 Webster's would be exceedingly difficult, if not impos- 
 sible. It occurred to his mind that a revised edition of 
 the Elementary Spelling book, adapted to the wants of 
 the people of the Confederate States of America, would 
 be all that could be desired. Notwithstanding this con- 
 clusion, supported as it was by many years experience in 
 teaching, he felt unwilling to undertake the w^^rk of re- 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 visini,^ the book, without first consulting some of the most 
 distiiiiriiiahed scholars' and teachers. In answ'cr to some 
 of the many le ters he addressed to his acquaintances, he 
 is happy to say, he has been much encouraged and strongly 
 urged to prosecute the labors connected with such an en- 
 t'^rprise. The reader is referred to the letter of Rev. C. P. 
 Beman, that veteran educator, now of Mt. Zion, Georgia; 
 also to a letter from Dr. N. M Crawford, President of 
 Mercer University, Ga , whose ripe scholarship and exten- 
 sive experience in teaching will not be questioned in this 
 country. 
 
 It is proper to state thot the orthography of Webster has 
 been invariably retained ; and that in very few instances has 
 his pronunciation been rejected. The flat, or Italian sound 
 of a, as heard iu the word /i//ie>-, should not be heard in 
 the word grass, mass, glass, bass, &;c. In these words I 
 have given to the letter a its short sound, as in mot. This 
 is- undoubtedly the usage amongst us, and it ha^ the sanc- 
 tion of Walker of LontLm. The flat sound of the letter a 
 in these instances is a New England provincialism. 
 
 I had marked the vowel sounds, as well as those of a few 
 consonants, as Dr. Webster has maiked them. But since 
 the manuscript has been finished, it has been ascertained 
 that the kind of type suitable to represent these sounds 
 could. not be procured. The present edition wi^ be given 
 to the public without the notation of the sound. At the 
 earliest possible period, the woi-k will be stereotyped, and 
 all the necessary distinctions of sound will be made; and 
 by inspecting the Key to the sounds, page 14, the intelli- 
 gent student will find all that is desirable on this subji'ct. 
 The teacher or student who may wish to acquaint himself 
 more fully with the proper pronunciation of. any word, is 
 requested to search {kw it in Dr. Webster's Dictionary. 
 
 The Bible readings on the subject of Domestic slavery, 
 which are introduced into this work in various places, are * 
 
p u i<: F A c K . r> 
 
 given in th(^ ex'ict verbiaj^e of tho sacrt-d page. The peoph- 
 of these Confederate States of America will not henceforth 
 withhold from their school-books, the teachings of the Scrip- 
 tures on this subject. They have no higher law than Holy 
 Writ. It is their standard in religion and morals; and 
 " when the enemy ^sliall come in like a flood, the Spirit of 
 the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." Lsa. 59 : 19. 
 
 The names of men and wt>men found in the New Testa- 
 ment, are appended to the book; and are pronounced as 
 Walker and Webster have pronounced them ; except the 
 word Israel, which is here pronounced Jz' ra el, as it is pro- 
 nounced in Israel Alger's Pronttuneing Bible. This pro- 
 nunciation is t-asicr of utterance, and is far more euphoni- 
 ous than the sharp hissing sound of the letter y, and it is 
 in conformity with general usage. 
 
 It is the object of the Spelling-book to teach orthography 
 and orthoepy ; and the various tables of spelling are so 
 constructed as to coiidensf' into the smallest compass a com- 
 plete system of teaching the, elements of the language. 
 However small this book may appi ar, it may be consid- 
 ered as the most important class-book, not of a purely re- 
 liii;ipus character, which the rising generation of the South- 
 ern Confederacy are destined to use.

 EXTEACTS FEOM WEBSTER'S PREFACE. 
 
 The Plan. — The plan of classification is here extended 
 so as to comprehend every important variety of English 
 words; and the clisses are so arranged with suitable di 
 rections for the pronunciation, that any pupil who shall 
 be master of these ELEMENTAuy Tables, will find little 
 difficulty in learning to foi-m and prtniouncc any words 
 that properly -belong to our vernacular tongue." 
 
 Spelling an'd forming words. ^ — " The tables intended for 
 exi-rcises in spelling and forming words, contain the origi- 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 nal words with the terminations only of their derivations. 
 These tables will anssver the important purpose of teach- 
 inof the manner of formini? the derivatives, and the distinc- 
 
 1 tion of the parts of speech, and thus anticipate, in some 
 
 i degree, the knowledge of grammar." 
 
 Pronunciation. — "There are a few words in both coun- 
 tries, England and America, whose pronunciation is not set- 
 tled beyond dispute. In cases of this kind I have leaned 
 to regular analosfies as furnishing the best rule of decision." 
 
 Uniformity of Orthography. — '• In orthography there 
 are some classes of words in which usage is not uniform. 
 No two English writers agree on this subject ; and, what is 
 worse, no lexicographe-r is consistent with hijnself. In this 
 branch of English philology, I have adopted, both in this 
 work and in my Dictionary, that orthography which is 
 most simple, and which is now the. best authorized. I have 
 pursued the rules which are held to be legitimate, and 
 have rendei-ed all cases of words, falling "within the rules, 
 uniform in orthography." 
 
 Marks of Sounds. * — " In this work, the sounds of the 
 vowels in accented syllables are represented by marks or 
 points attached to the letters. This serves to fix the pro- 
 nunciation of words, and to facilitate the acquisition of the 
 language both by foreigners and our own children." 
 
 Silent Letters. — " Letters printed in the Italic charac- 
 ters are mute ; but by the classification of words here 
 adopted, few of these characters are necessary." 
 
 The reading lessons. — "These lessons will serve to 
 substitute variety for the dull monotony of spelling, and 
 show the practical use of words in significant sentences, and 
 thus enable the learner the better to understand their true 
 meaning." |^^ Teachers should notice this, and not re- 
 quire parents to go to the useless expense of purchasing 
 Northern catch-penny readers No. I, 2, 3, 4, &;c. 
 
 Signification of words. — "It is useful to teach children 
 the significations of words as soon as they can comprehend 
 them; but the understanding can hardly keep pace with the 
 memory, and the minds of children may welt be employed 
 
 * Type of the kind n-quired, cannot be pr>;curei at, fhia lime in iLis country, 
 but it 8ii4ll be procured at as early a period ae pi^'Bsible. 
 
AI^ALYSIS OF SOUNDS. 
 
 in learning to spell and pronounce words whose significa- 
 tion is not within the reach of their capacities; for what 
 they do not clearly understand nt first, they will understand 
 as their capacities are enlarged." 
 
 ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS 
 
 IN THE 
 
 EisraLiSHE LA-israiJ^aE. 
 
 The English Alphabet consists of twenty- six letters or 
 single characters, the sounds of which are rendered signifi- 
 cant by established usage. The compounds ch, sh, th and 
 7i(j,iiVQ. also used to represent distinct sounds ; and another 
 sound is expressed by si oj- z ; as in brasier, azure, pro- 
 nounced bra' zhvr, azh' ur. 
 
 A, E, O are always vowels. 
 
 1 or U are vowels or diphthongs. 
 
 Wis also a vowel, except when it begins a word or 
 syllable. 
 
 Y is either a vowel, a diphthong or a conso^^ant. 
 
 The vowels a^ e, i, o, u. y, have regular long and short 
 sounds, as represented in the Key, page 12; and also oc- 
 casional sounds, which occur more rarely, as may also be 
 seen in the Key, where they are all clearly exhibited by 
 certain characters. 
 
 The long sound of a in late, when shortened in unaccen- 
 ted syllables, coincides nearly with that of e in let ; as ad- 
 equate, desolate, inveteiate. The long e Vvhen shortened 
 coincides- with the short i m pit ; as in ti-vmpet. The 
 short sound of i is that of y unaccented at the end of 
 words; as in gloiy: The short sound of broad a in hall, 
 is the same as the short o in holly, and of a in what. 
 
 The short sound of oo in pool, is that of it in pull, and 
 00 in wool. 
 
 The short sound of o in not is spmewhat lengthened be- 
 fore r^ s, ih and vg ; as in nor, cross, broth, belong. 
 
 The articulations represented by the consonants are best 
 understood by placing a vowel before them in pronuncia- 
 tion, thus : eb, ed, ef, ek, el, em, en, ep, er, es, et, ev, ez. 
 
8 ANALYSTS OF SOUNDS. 
 
 Those articulations which wholly interrupt the voice 
 are called close or mfff.e^B.s eb, ed, eg, ek, ep, et. Those 
 which do not interrupt the voice are called semi-vowels, 
 as ef, el, em, en, er, es, ev, ez eth. 
 
 Those articulations which are formed by the lips are 
 called labials ; as eb, ef, em, ep, ev. 
 
 Dental articulations are formed by the tongue and teeth, 
 as ed, et, eth. 
 
 Patatid art'culation"* are those which are formed by the 
 tongue and the palate; as eg, ek, ing. 
 
 Slhilaiits. — The letters 5 and z are called sibilant or his- 
 sins: letters. . 
 
 B and P represent nearly one and the same articulation, 
 or jointing of the lips; but P represents a closer pressure 
 of the lips. 
 
 D and T stand for one and the same articulation, which 
 is the pressure of the tongue against the gum of the upper 
 teeth, but T stands for a closer articulation than D. 
 
 F and V stand for the same articulation, the upper teeth 
 placpd on the under lip; but F indicates an expulsion of 
 breath without sound ; V with soutid. 
 
 Th in think and that represent one and the safne articu- 
 lation—the former with aspiration, the latter with sound. 
 
 S and Z stand for one and the same articulation, atten- 
 ded with hissing; s without sound z M^th sound. 
 
 Sh and zk have the same distinction as s and z, aspihi- 
 ted and vocal ; but zh not occurrin*? in En^jlish words, the 
 sound is represented by si, or other letters, as in fu'sion, 
 oziei\ azure. 
 
 Nij represents the articulation of the body of the tongue 
 with the roof of the mouth. In certain words, as in sinp, 
 the articulation is moderately close, with a nasaPsound; 
 in other words, as m finger, the pressujce is more close, 
 stopping all sound. A closer pressure is. represented by 
 nk as in bank. The difference is obvious in bang, anger, 
 bank^ but the articulation is the same in all cases. See 
 section 139. 
 
 B has one sound only, as in bite, and is silent after m, 
 as in dumh, 'plumb. 
 
 C has the sound of k before a, o" and u, as in crit, cat, 
 corn. This hard sound of rr may be represented nearly by 
 the letters cuh. But c has also a hard sound like the letters 
 
ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS. 9 
 
 he ; as in came, cure, car, cab. It has the sound of s before 
 e, i .-Mid y, as m cedar, cider, cycle. It may. be considered 
 as mute* before k ; as in sick, thick. When it is followed 
 by e or i before another vowel, it unites with e or i to 
 form the sound of sh. Thus, cetaceous, gracious, conscience, 
 are pronounced te ta' shi/s, gra' shus, am' shense. 
 ■ D has but one sound, as hrday, hid. 
 
 F has one sound only, as in life, fever, except in of, in 
 which it has the sound of v. . 
 
 G before a, o and n, is a close palatal articulation, as in 
 gave, go, gun ^ but before e, i and y it has the sound of y. 
 It may be remarked that the sound of g before a, oand u 
 is commonly called the hai'd sound ; and the sound before 
 e, i and y is called the soft sound, like that of y. The two 
 hard sounds are very distinctly different in different com- 
 binations; the sound of/; in gave is that o^ gee, as in geese ; 
 the other hard sound is similar to that made by the letters 
 guh, as heard in gun, gust. See Key, page 12. 
 
 II is a mark of breathing, or aspiration. Al\er r it has 
 no sound ; as in rhetoric. 
 
 I in certain words has the use of y consonant; as in 
 miliion, pronounced millyun. Before r it sometimes takes 
 the short sound of u ; as in sir, bird, dirt, flirt. 
 
 J represents a compound sound, that may be expressed 
 by dzh, as mjoy, jar. 
 
 K has the two distinct hard sounds of c ; the first like 
 cuh, as in koran, kind. The second, but more general sound 
 of the letters ke, as in king, kid, kalmia. This sound o\' k 
 
 is the hard sound of c, which Webster says "may be call- 
 ed ke.''"' See letter c in his large Dictionary. 
 
 L has one sound only ; as in lame, mill. It is so"metimes 
 silent before k, as in walk ; before m, as in calm ; and be- 
 /, as in calf. ' . 
 
 M has only one sound, as in man, flame. 
 
 N has one sound only, as in not, sun. It is silent after 
 m, as in hymn, solemn. 
 
 P has one sound only ; as in pit, lap. Before 5 it is si- 
 lent ; as in psalm. 
 
 Q has precisely the power of ^, but it is always followed 
 by n, sounded like w, as in question, queer. 
 
 S has its proper sound, as in send, less, or the sound of 
 z ; as in rise. VVhen it is followed by i. preceding a vowtl, 
 
10 ANALYSIS OFSOtJNi)g. 
 
 it iHiites with a vowel in forriiing the sound of sh ; as in 
 omission, pronounced o miah' u/t, or zh^&s in osier, pro- 
 nounced o' f^hur. • 
 
 T has its proper sound, as in turn, at the beginning of 
 words and end'^of syllables. Before t, followed by anoth- 
 er vowel, it unites wi'h i and forms the sound of sh^ as in 
 nation, partial, ^^a^/en-ce, pronounced na' shun, par' shut 
 pa' shense. A few exceptions are, when s and x precede t, 
 as in bastion^ christian', taixtion, are pronounced bast' yun^ 
 Christ' yan, mikst' yitn. 
 
 V has one* sound only; as in voice, live, and is never 
 silent, and never ends a word. 
 
 W before r is silent; as in wring, wrong. In most words 
 beginning w^'xth loh, the h precedes the U) in utterance. Thus 
 when is pronounced hwen, 
 
 X represents ks, as in wax, box ; but Is sometimes pro- 
 nounced like gz, as in exact, pronounced egz' act. At the 
 beginning of words it is pronounced like 0, as in xenophon. 
 Z has its proper sound which is soft like s in his, has. 
 Ch have the sound nearly of tsh, as in child ; or the sound 
 of k, as in character ; or of sh, as in machine, chaise. 
 
 Gh are mute in every English word, both in the middle 
 and at the end of words, except in the following: cough, 
 ch'iugh, dough, enough, hough, laugh, rough, slough, lOugh, 
 trough. These words, close with the sound of f, so that 
 gh may be . said not to have their proper sound in any 
 English word. 
 
 Ph have the sound of /, as in philosophy ; except in 
 Stephen, pronounced Ste' ven'. 
 
 Sh have one sound only, as in shall. 
 Tii have two sounds; aspirate or sharp, as in thick, thin, 
 both, and the vocal or flat sound, as in thou, this, bathe. 
 See Key, page 12. 
 
 So have the sound of sk before a, o, u and r, as in scale, 
 sculpture, scroll ; and the sound of s only before e, i and 
 y ; as in scene, scepter, science, scyihian. 
 
 DIGRAPHS. 
 
 Two vowels in a syllable, wher^e only one is sounded, are 
 called n digraph ; w^hen both are sounded together they 
 are called a diphthong. 
 
 The pronunciation of the diphthongs oi and oy, is the 
 same and uniform; as m join, joy, oil. 
 
ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS. 11 
 
 ! 
 
 The pronunciation of the diphthongs ou and ow is the 
 same and uniform, as in sound^ now. But in the termina- 
 tions ous, ou is not a diphthong and the pronunciation is 
 us; a.s in pious, ff/orious, Variovs. 
 
 The diagrams ai and crjr, in words of one syllable, and in 
 accented syllables, have the sound of a long. In the unac- 
 cented syllables of a few words, the sound of a is nearly 
 or quite lost ; as'in certain, curtain, captain. The digraphs 
 au and aw have the sound of broad a, as in fall ; eiv that 
 of u long, as in new ; and e^j, unaccented, that of y short, 
 as in valley. 
 
 When one vowel of a digraph is pointed or marked, the 
 other has no sound; as \n court, road, slow. 
 
 The digraphs ea, ee. ei, ie, when not pointed, have, in 
 this book, the sound of e long ; as in near, meet, seize, grieve. 
 The vowels in Section 143 are exceptions. 
 
 The digraph oa, unless pointed, has the sound of o long, 
 as in boat. In a few instances words of disputable pronun 
 ciation are distinguished by this mark f . 
 
 Vowels, in words of one syllable, followed by a single 
 consonant and e final, are long; as in fate^ mete, mute, un- 
 less pointed, as in d ve, give. 
 
 The accented syllable of a word is distinguished by the 
 mark ('). 
 
 The double accent (") in such words as prec" ious, am 
 hi" tious, (Section 135,) shows that the subsequent c or t 
 has the sound of sh. 
 
 The double accent in such words as an" ger, clan" gor, 
 (Section 139). shows that ng are pronounced with a close 
 articulation, or like double g in clang gor. 
 
 ACCENT, EMPHASIS, AND CADENCE. 
 
 Accent is a forcible stress of the voice on a letter or syl- 
 lable, tdistiiiguishing it from others in the same word. 
 When it falls, on a vowel, it prolongs the sound, as in glo' 
 ry ; when it falls on a consonant, the pveceeding vowel is 
 short, as 'ifihnb' it. The general rule by which afcent is 
 regulated, is that the stress of voice falls on that syllable 
 of a word, which renders the articulations most easy to the 
 speaker and most agreeable to the hearer. By this rule 
 the accent of most words have been established by long 
 and universal consent. 
 
12 KEY TO THE VOWEL SOUNDS. 
 
 When a word consists or three or more syllables, the 
 ease of spoaUlng requires usually .a secondary accent, or 
 ieiss forcible utterance than the pri?n:irv, but clearly distin- 
 jT^uishabk' frujii the pronunciatioii of unaeccnicd yyilabes, 
 as in superjiuitt/^ liiercfry. 
 
 In many compound wcii'.ls, the parts of wliich are im- 
 portant words of themselves, th«^re is very little distinc- 
 tion of accent; as in uik-sfaud^ church-yard. 
 
 ^iftpho.sis is a particular force of utterance given to a 
 particular 'Cvord in a sentence, on account of its importance. 
 
 Cadence is the fall or modulation of the voicf in reading 
 or spelling, especially at the end of a sentence.

 Washington was not a selfish man. He was the first 
 President of the United States. "First in war, first in 
 council, and first in the affections of the people," and he 
 owned slaves. There was a great man when Christ was on 
 the earth, who was a military officer, a centurion, and he 
 was a slaveholder. Here is Christ's language, giving 
 
 "THE HISTORY OF THE CENTURION." 
 "And when Jesus was enter<#d into Cnpernaum, there ! 
 came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and t^aviiKr; 
 " Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, griev- 
 ously tormented." And Jesus said unto him, " 1 will 
 come and heal him." 
 
 The centurion answered and said: "Lord, I am not worthy 
 that thou shouldst come under my roof; but speak the 
 word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am ft

 man under authority, having soldiers under me ; and I say 
 to this man go and he goeth ; and to another, come, and 
 he Cometh ; and to my servant do this, and he doeth it." 
 
 When Jesus heard it he marveled, and said to them that 
 followed, " Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so 
 great faith, no, not in Israel." Matt. 8 : 5 — 10.

 DUTIES OF CHILDREN, PARENTS, SERVANTS, AND MASTERS. 
 
 Children, obey your parents in the Lord ; for this is

 commandment with promise,) that it may be well with 
 thee and that thou mayest live long upon the earth.

 And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath ; 
 but bring them up in the nurture aud admonition of the 
 Lord. 
 
 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters 
 according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in .single- 
 ness of } our heart, as unto Christ ; not with eye service, 
 as men pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the 
 will of God from the heart; with good will doing service 
 as to the Lord and not to- men. Knowing that whatso- 
 ever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive 
 of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 
 
 And ye masters, do the same thin<;s unto them, forbear- 
 ing threatening; knowirjg that your master also is in 
 heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him."

 HOW TO PUT TO SILENCE THE IGNORANCE 
 OF FOOLISH MEN.— 1 P6ter 2:15— 20. 
 
 " For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put 
 to silence the ignoranpe 6{ foolish men : As free, and not 
 using your liberty, for a cloak of maliciousness, but as 
 the servants of God. 
 
 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor 
 the king. (The ruler.) 
 
 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only 
 to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For 
 th'is is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God 
 endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, 
 if, when ye are buffeted for your faults ye shall take it 
 patiently? But if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye 
 shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For 
 even hereunto were ye called."*

 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 
 The ten commandments, commonly called the Deca- 
 logue, AKE found in the TWENTIETH CHAPTER OF ExODUS. 
 
 They recognize Slavery, and are of perpetual force, 
 AS follows : 
 
 1. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. 
 
 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any 
 likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is 
 in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the 
 earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
 serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 
 unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
 me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that 
 love me and keep my commandments. 
 
 3. Thou shalt not take the nnme of the Lord thy God in 
 v?iin ; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh 
 His name in vain.

 4. Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy. Six days 
 shalt thou labor, and do all thy work ; but the seventh 
 day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God : in it thou shalt 
 not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, 
 thy man-sfrvant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, 
 nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ; for in six 
 days the Lord made heaven and earth, the S'^a, and all 
 that in them is. and rested the seventh day ; wherefore 
 the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day and hallr.wed it. 
 
 5. Honor thy fiither and thy mother ; that thy days may 
 be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth 
 thee. 
 
 6. Thou shalt not kill. 
 
 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, 
 
 8. Thou shal-t not steal. 
 
 9. Thou shalt not bear fals'^ witness against thy neighbor. 
 
 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou stialt 
 not covet thy neighbor's wife, no? his man-servant, nor 
 his maid-serva«)t, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything 
 that is thy neighbor's." 
 
 Slaves are our neighbor's property, as much so as his house.

 When the moon passes between the earth and the 8un, and 
 
 thereby gets to the east sideV)f the sun, we call it u'new 
 
 moon : but you must not think that it is more new at 
 
 that, time, than it was when it was full moon. 
 The laws of nature are sustained by the immediate presence 
 
 and agency of God. 
 The science of astronomy explains the causes of day and 
 
 night, and why the 'sun and moon, and stars appear to 
 
 change their places in the hejivens. 
 Air contains the vapors that rise from the earth; and it 
 
 sustains them, till they fall in dews, and jn showers of 
 
 rain, or in hail or snows. 
 A poltroon is an arrant uowardj and deserves the contempt 
 
 of all brave men. 
 To revere a father, is to regard him with fear mingled with 
 
 respect and affecti-on.

 In free governments, like the government of the Confede- 
 rate States of America, the people choose their legisla- 
 tors. We have legislators for each State, who make 
 laws for the States where they live. The town in which 
 they meet to legislate is called the seat of government. 
 These legislators, when they assemble to make laws are 
 called the Legislature. 
 
 The people should choose their wisest and best men for 
 their legislators. 
 
 It is the duty of every good citizen to inspect the moral 
 conduct of the men who offer as legislators at our elec- 
 tions. If the people wish for good laws, they may ha^ve 
 them by electing good men. 
 
 The legislative councils of the Confederate States should 
 feel their dependence, under God, on the will of a free 
 and virtuous people. 
 
 Our formers, mechanics and merchants compose the 
 strength of our nation. Let them be wise and virtuous, 
 and watchful of their liberties. Let them trust no man 
 to leorislate for them, if he lives in the habitual viola- 
 tion of the laws of his country.

 The time will soon come when we must bid a last farewell 
 
 to this world. 
 The bright stars without number adorn the skies, 
 '^hen our friends die, they will never return to us; but 
 
 we must soon follow them. 
 God will condemn the wicked and cast them into outer 
 
 darkness. 
 God will forgive those who repent of their sins, and live a 
 
 holy life. 
 Do not . attempt to deceive God ; nor mock him with 
 ■ solemn words, whilst your heart is set to do evil. 
 Holy living is happy living. 
 Holy living will make happy dying.

 it.

 Senate originally signified a council of ciders ; for men, 
 before their minds were perverted and corrupted, com- 
 mitted the public concerns to "men of age and experience.

 young men for war." But in modern times the senato- 
 rial dignity is not always connected with age, and expe- 
 rience.

 It is no more ri<rht to steal oranges, apples or watermelons

 perty. How much more manly is it to ask for peaches, 
 apples, oranges or melons, than it is to sneak into his 
 orchard and steal them'. How must a boy, and much 
 more a man, blush to be detected in so mean a trick.

 Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no 
 other. 
 
 Chyle is the milky fluid separated from the food by diges- 
 tion, and from this are formed blood and nutriment for 
 the support of animal life. 
 
 Epoch is a fixed point of time from which years are reck- 
 oned. 
 
 The departure of the Israelites from Egypt is a remarkct- 
 ble epoch in their history. 
 
 A patriarch is the father of a family. Abraham was the 
 great patriarch of the Israelites. 
 
 Sound striking against an object and returned is an echo. 
 
 The stomach is the great laboratory of animal bodies, in 
 which animal food is digested and prepared for entering 
 the proper vessels and nourishing the body. If the stom- 
 ach is impaired and does not perform its proper functions, 
 the whole body suffers. We should not eat too much. '

 Dr. Webster remarks — "The pronunciation of the words 
 in the following table, is marked in different ways by wri- 
 ters on orthoepy. 
 
 1. JVatshure,jointskure, c&c, with u long. This is a false 
 notation ; the words neither in England or the United 
 States being ever pronounced with u long. 
 
 2. Natshur, jointshur with u short. This pronunciation is 
 common in both countries, but not the most elegant. 
 
 3. Nateyur,jointyur. This pronunciation, though a depar- 
 ture from the rules of the language, by prefixing the 
 sound of y to w short, is at present fashionable among 
 elegant speakers. The latest writer limits this anomaly 
 almost wholly to a few words of two syllables.

 The lungs are the organs of respiration. If any substance, 
 except air, is inhaled and comes in contact with the lungs' 
 we instantly cough. This cough is an effort of nature 
 to free the lungs,

 • GEORGE WASHINGTON. 
 
 George Washirgton was born at Bridge's Creek, West- 
 moreland county, Virginia, on the 22d of February, 1732. 
 Before he was ten years old, he was deprived of the guid- 
 ance and example of an excellent father ; but the judicious 
 economy and prudent affection of his mother provided for 
 him instruction in the useful branches of knowledge, and 
 above all, she trained him to a love of truth, and success- 
 fully cultivated that high moral sense which characterized 
 his actii»ns from his youth. There is no doubt that the 
 goodness and greatness of Washington are to be ascribed 
 to the careful culture bestowed by his affectionate mother 
 as an instrument under the all-ruling hand of God. ' 
 
 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 
 "let EVERYMAN WHEREIN HE IS CALLED THEREIN ABIDE 
 
 WITH GOD." — 1*/ Corinthians vii. 
 
 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord 
 hath called every one, so let him walk ; and so ordain I 
 in all churches. 
 
 Is any man called, (that is converted,) being circum- 
 cised, let him not become uncircumcised ; is any man 
 called, (that is converted,) in uncircumcision, let him not 
 be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircum- 
 cision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments 
 of God. 
 
 Let every man abide in the same calling (that is avoca- 
 tion) wherein he was called, (that is converted.) 
 
 Art thou called, (that is converted) being a servant, 
 care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, (by thy 
 lawful owner,) use it rather. 
 
 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the 
 Lord's free man; likewise he that is called, being free, is 
 Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be ye not 
 the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein 
 he is called, therein abide with God.

 THE DUTY OF A GOSPEL MINISTER TOWARDS AGED MEN, AGED 
 WOMEN, YOUNG WOMEN, YOUNG MEN AND SERVANTS. See 
 
 Titus ii: 1—10. 
 
 speak thou the things which become sound doctrine ; 
 that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in 
 faith, in charity, in patience. 
 
 The AGED women likewise, that they be in behavior as 
 becometh holiness, not False accusers, not given to much 
 wine, teachers of good things ; 
 
 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to 
 love their husbands, to love their children ; to be discreet, 
 chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own hus- 
 bands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 
 
 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded ; in all 
 things showing thyself a pattern of good works ; in doc- 
 trine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, sound 
 speech that cannot be condemned ; that he who is of the 
 contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to 
 say of you. 
 
 Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, 
 and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 
 not purloining; but showing all good fidelity, that they 
 may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things."

 John, can you tell me how time is measured ? 
 Time is measured by clocks, Avatches, dials and glasses. 
 What are the divisions of time? 
 
 Time is divided into seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks 
 arrd months. 
 60 seconds make one minute. 
 €)0 minutes make one hour. 
 24 hours make one day. 
 7 days make one week. 
 52 weeks make one year. 
 4 weeks make one month. 
 12 months make one year. 
 365 days make one year. 
 
 Leap year has one day more, that is, 866 days. 
 Every fourth year is leap year. 
 
 Will you tell me the names of the days of the week ? 
 Sabbath or Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs- 
 day, Friday, Saturday. The Sabbath is a day of rest, 
 and is called the Lord's day, because God has command- 
 ed us tq. keep it holy ; that is, we are to omit labor and 
 M'orldly employments, and devote the time to religious 
 duties, and the gaining of religious kiYbwledge.

 The light of the sun makes the day, and the shade of the 
 earth makes the night. The day is for labor, and the 
 night is for sleep and repose. Children should go to 
 bed early in the evening, and all persons who expect to 
 thrive in the world should rise early in the morning, 
 and be busily and usefully employed through the day. 
 
 The word lazy is an ugly word. / think so. Do you 
 think so 1 Yes, I do. Well then, you must not be lazy.

 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 
 In the following Bible readings the duty of Christians 
 generally is pointed out briefly ; but the duty of wives, 
 husbands, children, fathers and servants are pointed out 
 particularly. 
 
 CoLossiANS III : 9 — 12. 
 
 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the 
 old man with his deeds ; and have put on the new man, 
 which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him 
 that created him : where there is neither Greek, ror Jew, 
 circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, 
 bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all. 
 
 Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, 
 bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meek- 
 ness, long suffering, forbearing one another ; if any man 
 have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you so 
 also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, 
 which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of 
 God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are also called 
 in one body, and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ 
 dwell in you richly in all wisdom ; teaching and admon- 
 ishing one another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual 
 songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And 
 
SPELLING-BOOK. 155 
 
 A, R, AC , long; A, E, AC , short — care, bar, last, all, what, there, prev, sir, son. 
 
 whatsoever ye do in word o>r deed, do all in the name of 
 the Lord Jesits, giving thanks to God and the Father by 
 him. 
 
 Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as 
 it is fit in the Lord. 
 
 Husbands love your wives, and be not bitter against 
 them. 
 
 Children obey your parents in all things, for this is 
 well-pleasing unto the Lord. 
 
 Fathers provoke not your children to anger, lest they 
 be discouraged. 
 
 Servants obey in all things your masters according to 
 the flesh; not with eye service, as men pieasers, but in 
 singleness of heart, fearing God ; and whatsoever ye do 
 do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men ; know- 
 ing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the 
 inheritance; for ye serve the Lord Christ. 
 
 Leviticus xxv : 44 — 46. 
 
 Both thy bondsmen and thy bondsmaids which thou 
 shalt have shall be of the heathen which are round about 
 you ; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 
 
 Moreover, of the children of the stranger that do sojourn 
 among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families 
 that are with you, which they begat in your land, and they 
 shall be your possession. 
 
 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your chil- 
 dren after you, to inherit them for a possession ; they shall 
 be your bondmen forever. 
 
 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born 
 in my house ; also I had great possession of great and small 
 cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me. — JEccle- 
 siastes ii : 4 — 7.

 GES. THOMAS J. JACKSON. 
 
 Gen. T. J. Jackson must over be remembered as one of 
 the most eniment Generals who drew his sword in the 
 cause of Southern independence. He was born on the 1st 
 day of January, 1824, in Clarksburg, Harrison county, 
 Virginia. His father, Jonathan Jackson, d'ed in 1827, 
 leaving four children. His son, Thomas Jonathan, who 
 afterwards became such a distinguished soldier, w^as but 
 three years old at the time of his father's death. 
 
 Thomas was taken, after his father's death, to live with 
 an uncle who resided in Lewis county. So soon as he was 
 old enou2:h he bejran to labor on his uncle's farm, and to 
 go to school for three months in the year. With such 
 limited advantages he could only acquire the rudiments of 
 a plain English education. When he was about seventeen 
 years of age he was sent to the West Point Military 
 School. He graduated at this institution, after the regular 
 course, -with much distinction. 
 
 On leaving West Point, he entered the military service 
 under Gen. Zachary Taylor, with the rank of Lieutenant. 
 When Gen. Scott w^as ordered to Mexico, Jackson joined 
 him at Vera Cruz, and assisted in the capture of Mexico. 
 In July, 1861, some one said to Gen. Scott "How is it 
 that you cannot take Richmond with such a large army, 
 when with so small a lorce you could take the great city 
 ot Mexico ?" "' You torget,"' said the General, " that some 
 ot the very men wno helped to take Mexico are now op- 
 posing my progress to Richmond." As a reward for his 
 gallant services in the Mexican war, young Jackson was 
 honored with the rank of Brevet Major. Very few of 
 those who began with the same position become more dis- 
 tinguished during this campaign. 
 
 When the Federal Government declared war against 
 the Southern States, Major Jackson repaired immediately 
 to Richmond, where he received a Colonel's commission 
 from Governor Letcher, and was ordered to take command 
 at Harper's Ferry. He arrived there on the 2d of May, 
 1861, and entered upon his duties the following day. His 
 first active service in the present war was on the 2d of 
 July, when he engaged the advance of Gen. Patterson's

 army, and held them in check whilst Gen. Johnston, the 
 Southern commander, was making important dispositions 
 of his forces in the rear. lie exhibited so much ability 
 on this and other occasions during his first service on the 
 upper Potomac, that- he was promoted to a Brigadier Gen- 
 eralship. 
 
 At the first battle .of Manassas he fought so bravely and 
 resisted so firmly the efforts of the enemy to drive him 
 back, that the-Jamented Gen. Bee gave him the name o^ 
 Stonewall ; and by' this title he was better known than 
 by his proper initials. At this battle, when another Gen. 
 said to him "They are driving us back; we shall be over- 
 come." "No, sir;" said Jackson, planting himself firmly, 
 " We'll give them the bayonet." 
 
 On the 1st of January, 1862, after a severe march, in 
 which, together with his troops, he endured much sulTering, 
 lie drove the enemy from Romney, in Virginia, where 
 they were lodged, and from which place they were com- 
 ]nitting great depredations on the surrounding country. 
 But perhaps the most brilliant part of his military career 
 was that of the summer of the same year. Jn less than | 
 thirty days he fought and conquered no less than four 
 (xenerals of the United States army. Encountering Pre- 
 mont west of Staunton he soon drove him back, and with- 
 out stopping to rest, swept down the valley and compelled 
 Banks to fly across the Potomac. Returning to the upper 
 valley within three weeks, he dealt Fremont a 'stunning 
 blow at Cross Keys, vanquished Shields in the Luray val- 
 ley, and then, wiih almost electric speed, hurled his victo- 
 rious forces down the Virginia Central Railroad on the 
 right of McClellan's army, which was then in sight of 
 Uichmond. lie fought in every important battle in Vir- 
 ginia, and always with the greatest success. Cedar Moun- 
 tain, Manassas, Fredericksluirg, were the scenes of distin- 
 guished services after this brilliai^it campaign in the valley. 
 
 lie was struck down by a bullet from his own men, 
 fired by mistake, on the 3d of May, 1863, exactly two 
 years from the time he had entered the service in this war. 
 He died of the combined effects of the wound li<> r"''<ived 
 and of pneumonia, on the 17th of May.

 As a patriot he must ever be loved and lionored by 
 every Soulhern heart. No one was more generous and 
 unselfish. One night, just before the battle of Manassas, 
 he performed guard duty, to give his weary soldiers an 
 opportunity for sleeping. The sickness, which was one 
 cause of his death, was contracted in consequence of pass- 
 infr a nifrht in the air without tent "or coverinij, havin<x 
 given to another the cape which was given to him for his 
 own protection. 
 
 As a soldier friends and enemies speak of him in the 
 highest ternis. Some of his victories, though on a much 
 smaller scale, were as brilliant as any which were won by 
 the celebrated French conqueror. ITe was remarkable 
 for the rapidity of his movements, for his power of endu- 
 rance, and for the great confidence with which he always 
 inspired the men of his command. 
 
 But his crowning excellence was his piety. He was a 
 man of great faith. He was much in prayer. He ac- 
 knowled"^ed God in all his ways. When Gen. Lee told him 
 that the great victory at Fredericksburg was due to his 
 skill and energy, he replied: "Gen. Lee should give the 
 glory to God." His soldiers often found him on his knees 
 in retired parts of the w^oods. AVhen told that he must 
 die he said, " It will be infinite gain to be translated to 
 heaven to be with Jesus.'' Let every Southern youth 
 remember his great and good qualities and endeavor to 
 imitate them.
