But he cried the more, with fear and anger, so that he was m danger of going into fits. Little boys should not be put into a dark room or closet to correct them, even when they are cross ; but when they are sick or not well, it is cruel to punish them. . 18 SPkLLF.K AND READER. LESSON 9. The path of virtue is the path of peace ; in that only can we walk with safety. Pride goeth before ruin, and a lofty spirit before a fall. Then let not pride have a place in thy heart, but strive to keep thy mind humble. Be not wise in thy own eyes, but put thy trust in the Lord, and thou shalt bo safe. LESSON 10.

One of the first things you have to learn, when you begin to read, is to take care of your books. A clean book looks much better than a dirty one ; then try to keep your books neat and clean, and do not let the leaves get torn, or curled at the corners. And when you have done with them, put them in the right place, that you may know where to find them safe and clean. 22 BPBLLER AND READER. LESSON G.

And when we lie down at night to take our rest, let us look over the past day ; and if we find any thing said or done amiss, let us be sorry for it, and ask our Father in heaven to forgive us. But if we have not said or done any thing wrong through the day, let us be thankful to him who has kept us from evil by his grace ; and then we may go to sleep in peace, and put our trust in his good- ness and love.

The squirrel leaps from tree to tree, But sits to crack the nuts, we see : When caught and tam'd, he'll often play, But if let loose, he'll run away, His native freedom to enjoy. Nor care for man, nor dog, nor boy. LESSON 12. The whale is a very large fish : some of them are said to be fifty or sixty feet long. They live in the sea, a great way off; but men go there in ships, and kill them, in order to get the oil. They are so fat, that the oil from one whale will fill a great number of barrels. Oil is used to burn in lamps, to give us light in the night. It is also useful in many other ways. 24 SPELLER AND READER. SECTION VIII. Words of three st/Ilahles. The accent on the second syllable.

Flax is a plant which bears a blue flower, and grows about three feet high. The skin or bark of the stalk is made into thread, linen, lace, and other things. When the flax is ripe, it is pulled out of the ground by the roots, and the seed is beaten off. The stalks are then spread thin on the grass, in a field, where the rain, dew, and sun, rot them. They are then broken, and the bark or skin is cleaned^ and made ready for spinning and weaving into linen. Of the seed is made an oil, called linseed oil, which is used in painting, and for other purposes. VIRGINIA SERIES. 27 LESSON 8. Accent on the first syllable.

Ginger is the root of the ginger plant that grows in the AVest Indies. The stalk of this plant rises about four feet above the ground, and "withers near the end of the year. The roots are then dug up, cleaned, and dried, "with great care ; they are next packed in bags, so as to be ready for the market. These roots being ground in a mill, make the ginger that is in common use. LESSON 10.

LESSON 11. Coffee is the seed of a fruit like a cherry. The tree that boars it gro^Y3 in warm countries. The fruit is spread on mats in the sun-shine to dry, and then bruised with rollers, to force out the Beeds ; this divides them in two. They arc again dried in the sun, before they are put on board the ships to be brought to us. LESSON 12.

Salt is made of sea-water, or from springs of salt water. That which is called rock salt is dug out of salt mines. Large pits or basins are made to contain the water, which, being first warmed, is left to the heat of the sun, and the wind, to dry. In a short time the top of tho briny water is covered with a crust, which grows harder and harder, till it becomes salt. VIRGINIA SERIES. 29 LESSON 14. Children, try to have a true sense of what you learn, and do not slip over. your words or lessons without knowing them well. If you are at a loss to know the meaning of a word, or sentence, ask your teacher to explain it to you. Do not play in school, nor tease tht»se who sit next to you ; for this is wrong, even if your teacher should not see it.

LESSON 16. Many have wislicd, -when they have grown up to be men or women, that they had bent their minds more to their learning, while they were young. When it is too late to learn, or out of their power to study, they are sorry that the time of their youth was wasted in play and idleness, which ought to have been employed in learning their lessons, and striving to improve. Now is your time, improve it well, and you will not have to repent it when you grow up. Time, once past, never returns ; the moment which is lost, is lost for ever. ^lin e ral min is ter min is try mit ti mus pil lo ry pit i ful prin ci pal rid i cule rig or ous f^im i lar Fin gu lar six ti eth slip pe ry vie to ry vin e gar vis i tor wick ed ness ^Yil der ness LESSON 17. bod i ly hot a ny hot torn less col ny com e dy com mon cr com pe tent com pli ment con fi dent con ju gal con se crate con so nant con sti tute con ti nent con tra ry cop per as cor ner cost li ness doc u ment drop si cal fol low er for es ter.' for ti tude bom i ly joe u lar jol li ty lof ti ly lot te ry mod e rate mod es ty mod i fy mon i tor mon u ment nom i nal nom i nate no ta ble VIRGINIA SERIES. 31 LESSON 18. Birds' nests. When spring comes, how busy the birds arc in building their nests, and taking care of their young ones. Some make their nests on high trees, and some on the ground ; some in the woods, and others in the fields and meadows. Some build in thick bushes, or briers, and others in barns, houses, and chimneys. With much labour, some peck holes in trees that are dead, and therein make their nests ; while others lay their eggs on the ground, without making any nest at all. LESSON 19.

LESSON 20. How various also are the forms of tlieir nests ! Some collect dead grass, root'', or straw, with which they make the outside of the nest, and line it with soft feathers, moss, or Wool. Others build their nests with straw or sticks, and cement them with claj or mud ; others again unite them with gum, and line them with some soft sub- stance. Some kinds of birds suspend their nests from the bough of a tree, and form them of tow, bark, or hemp.

The size and colour of their eff^s are as various as their nests ; but they all appear to be tender of their young ones, and careful to provide food for them, and to nourish and protect them till they are old enough to take care of themselves. How -wanton, how cruel is it, then, to rob the birds of their eggs, or their yoting! And yet some little boys are so hard-hearted as to destroy their nests, and take their eggs; and some who take the young birds from their soft, warm nests, forget to feed them ; and then the poor little birds die with hunger and cold.

Water-fo'wis, Some birds live on fish, frogs, and worms, and have very long legs to wade in the water ; others have short legs for swimming ; and their toes are joined together bj a skin that grows between them, which, like oars, or the fins of a fish, helps them to swim. Many water-fowls have long necks, to reach grubs and worms at the bottom of ponds. As they live much in cold water, their feathers are very thick, and they have plenty of soft down to keep them warm. AVhcn they put their heads under the water, a thin skin is drawn over the eye, which hinders the water from getting into it, and yet does not prevent them from seeing. VIRGINIA SERIES. 87 LESSON 6. Many birds, at the approach of winter, fly away into warmer countries, where they stay till spring, and then return to us again. Some stay with us all winter, and live on grass- seeds and. grain. How great, how wise, and how good is the boun- tiful Creator, who has formed so great a variety of birds, and placed them in such order that each knows and keeps its proper place ! lie provides food for them all, and takes care of them all, so that "not a sparrow can fall to the ground without his notice."

LESSON 6. The good hoy. A good boy -loves his parents, brothers, and sisters. He always minds what his parents say to him, and tries to please them. If they desire liiin not to do a thing, he does not do it; if they tell him to do any thing, he does it cheerfully. When they deny hira what he wants, he does not grumble, or pout out his lips, or look angry, or cry ; but he thinks that^ his parents know what is proper for him, better than he does, because thsy are older and wiser. He is kind to his brothers and sisters, and to all his little playmates. He never teases them nor quarrels with them, nor calls ill names. LESSON 7.

He does hot behave rudely to any body ; but he treats all with respect. If he sees any persons who are lame, or crooked, or very old and poor, he does not laugh at them, nor mock or make game of them, because he knows it is wroTig ; but he is kind to them, and glad when he can help them^ or do them good. When he sees naughty boys and girls, who pout and cry, and get angry, and quarrel or fight, he is very sorry, and tries to persuade them to do better. He is kind even to dumb creatures, such as beasts, birds, fishes, insects, and worms ; for he knows that, though they cannot speak, they can feel as well as we. LESSON 9. Even those animals that he does not think pretty, he takes care not to hurt ; and he is very sorry when he sees the poor horses beaten by the drivers, when they are drawing heavy loads. He never takes delight in catching flies, or other insects, and pulling off their wings or legs ; because he thinks it is cruel to torture them, and give them pain. He likes very much to see the little birds pick up moss, or hay, or bits of wool or hair, and carry them in their bills to make their nests. And if he finds a bird's nest, he does not touch the eggs or the young birds, nor do them any harm. 42 FPELLER AND READER. LESSON 10. lie loves his teachers, and all who have the care of him, and who tell him what is good ; and he is very willing to take their advice. He often thinks how kind they are to him, to in- struct him, and to keep him out of danger, and he is thankful for their love and care. lie likes to go to school, and to read and write, and to learn something good every day ; that, if he should live to be a man, he may be wise and good.

He never takes any thing that is not his own, nor meddles with it without leave. When he walks into the garden or orchard, ho does not pull flowers or gather fruit, unless he is told that he may do so. He never teases his parents for green apples or unripe fruit, or any thing else that is not proper for him; but he is content and thankful for what they give him. At table he sits up, and is quiet, till he is served, and then eats what is given him, in a decent man- ner, without talking, or asking for more, when he has enough.

If he has done any mischief, or said any naughty word, he confesses it, and says he is very sorry, and that he will try to do so no more. lie never tries to conceal his faults, but he is ■filing to own them, and tr}^ to do better. "When any body speaks to him, he does not hang down his head, or mutter, or look another way ; but he answers in a modest and proper manner, and always speaks loud enough to be heard plainly. AVhen he reads or repeats his lesson, he always tries to do it with a clear voice, so as to be heard distinctly. LESSON 5.

If he has done or said any thing wrong, he is sorry, and hopes he shall do so no more. He loves to pray to God, and to hear, and read, and think about him ; and he loves to go to church with his parents and friends, to worship him. Every body that knows this good .boy loves him, and speaks well of him, and is kind to him, and he is very happy : for those who are good are always the most happy. SECTION XII.

Next morning, their father gave them their ley- sons to learn, and told them, when they could say them well, they might go into the field and fly their kite. He then left them for a short time, telling them not to go out till he came back, and he would go with them to fly the kite. But, as soon as he was gone out, the oldest boy said to his brother, Now let us go and fly the kite, and then get our lessons. So they both went out of the house with the kite. LESSON 7.

So he went ; but no sooner was the kite raised in the air, than he heard a voice of some person, and he thought it was his father calling him.

The boy stood, and threw stones at her ; till at last, one struck her, and she fell down dead. At first he was pleased with what he had done; • but, after a few minutes, he felt very great horror and sorrow for having, in his sport, killed an inno- cent bird, while she was careful for her young. I VIRGINIA SERIES. LESSON 30. 69 He- stood still, and looked at her lying dead on the ground, and thought that those young ones for which she had been so careful, must now perish for want of their dam to nourish them. After some painful thoughts -on the subject, he climbed up the tree, and took all the young robins and killed them : thinking that better than to leave them to pine away, and starve to death, in great misery.

LESSON 32. Thus we may see that He, whose tender mercies are over all his works, hath placed a principle in the human mind, which incites us to do good to every living creature. This being rightly attended to, people become kind and tender-hearted one to another, and also towards all dumb creatures, such aa birds, beasts, fishes, worms, and insects. But if this tender feeling in the' mind is not re- garded, people become hard-hearted and cruel, not only towards animals, but even to one another. Take not in sport that life you cannot give, For all things have an equal right to live. L, ESSON 33.

LESSON 36. Anecdote, A little boj being at a neighbour's house, and seeing some nuts in a barrel, felt a wish to have some of them. As no person was present, he put his hand into the cask to take one of the nuts. But while in the act of doing so, he was smitten with a sense or conviction that it was wrong: so he drew his hand back without taking any, and felt glad that he had not given way to stealing. When he went home, he told his father the*wholo affair, and how he had a secret check in his mind, that kept him from taking, what was not his own. His father told him always to take heed to that which reproved him, when he was thus tempted to steal ; for it was the Spirit of Truth that had met with him, in order to keep him from sinning.

If it is needful to take a candle or lamp near a closet where there is clothing, muslin, or papers, take care that no spark or snuff fall among such goods as may take fire. Never put ashes where any clothing, wood, or other things that will burn, are near, lest it kindle in the night and set the house on fire. Never take fire near a barn or stable, or where there is straw, paper or shavings. See that all the lights and fire are safe, before going toJj)ed.

Never play ball in the house, nor by the side of the house, viien the windows are open. A little boy was once playing with his ball in a room where there was a looking-glass, when his father and mother were gone from home. Before he began to l)lay, he liad turned the back of the glass towards him, for fear he should break it. It would have been better, if he had gone out of doors to play. I wonder he was not afraid of breaking the win- dows, but perhaps he did not think of them. VIRGINIA SERIES. 75 LESSON 3. As tho little boy was busy in playing with his ball about the room, and not thinking of the look- ing glass, the ball struck against the wooden back, and broke the glass. When he saw the damage he had done, he was very sorry ; and no doubt wished he had not played ball in the house, as he was afraid his parents would be angry with him. However, he thought it would be best to confess his fault, and to speak the truth about it.

As soon as his father and mother came home, he went to them, and said, Father, I have been play- ing with my ball in the house, and have broken the best looking glass ; I am very sorry for it. His father, seeing how honest he was to come and confess his fault, looked kindly at him, and said, "I would rather that all the looking glasses in the house should be broken, than that one of my children should tell an untruth."

As the little boy was very sorry for the mischief he had done, and had behaved so well as to confess his fault, his parents forgave him. After that time he saw how good it was to own his faults, and always tell the truth about them ; that, if he met with any accident, he confessed it, and would not, on any account, tell a lie, or depart from the truth. It ia a wicked thing to tell falsehoods ; and those who give way thereto, will not be believed, even when they speak the truth.

Our best friends are those who tell us of our faults, and teach us how to correct them. Good or bad habits, formed in youth, commonly go with us through life. When we confess our errors, and are sorry for them, generous and good persons will pity and for- give us. We must not do wrong, because we see others do so. Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well ; but we cannot do any thing well without attention. If we do not take pains, we must not expect to excel in any thing.

We see many little children running about the streets, who are dirty and ragged, and appear as if they had none to take care of them. How kind are our parents and friends, who pro- vide food and clothing for us, and how grateful ought we to be for their love and care ! In the days of youth, when health and pleasure attend us, it is good for us to think of death, and frequently to consider our latter end. VIRQINU SERIES. SECTION III.

LESSON 8. Paper. Paper is made of old rags, that are no longer fit for use as clothes. They are sorted, and cut into small pieces, and "washed clean. They are then put into a vessel filled with water, in which is a roller with sharp knives set in it ; this roller is turned round very swiftly by a mill, and cuts or grinds the rags into a pulp or paste, which is taken up by a mould, and made into paper.

The mould is a kind of sieve, just the size of a sheet of paper, and is formed of very fine brass wire. This mould, being dipped into the pulp, takes up just enough for one sheet of paper, which is laid by till several quires are made in the same manner. It is then pressed very hard by means of strong iron screws, and afterwards hung up to dry. Next it is sized and sorted, and put up into quires for writing or printing on, and then pressed again.

Let Dogs alone. A large mastiff dog was kept by a timber mer- chant to guard his yard, and was commonly chained by day, but let loose by night. A boy, who lived near, took a pleasure in teasing the dog, by throwing sticks and stones at him, and trying to vex him. The dog was loose one day, and ranging about the yard, when the boy entered, and he immediately attacked him with great fury. The boy now felt the effects of his ill usage to the dog, and was sorry he had been so unkind and cruel to him, but it seemed too late ; for the en- raged animal seized him by the throat, and brought him to the ground, and it is most likely would have put an end to his life, had not some person come to assist him, and with much difficulty took the dog off.

Lessons in Italic Letters. LESSON 1. On sitting cfown to Meals. When I at table take my seat, I turn my thoughts to God ahove. That what's before me I may eat With gratitude and love. From him my health and blessings flow y My breads and milk, and meat ; To him a thankful heart I owe. For all things good to eat. This grateful sense of bounteous goodf Such humble feelings spread, That I'm content with needful food^ And thank my God for bread. LESSON 2. Paper for writing or printing, is made of old rags that are no longer fit for use as clothes. Printing was invented about four hundred years ago. People luho lived before that time had no books to read but such as were written with a pen ; and those were very scarce and very dear, so that but few people learned to read. Those who had learned to write were called scribes ; and the books or rolls which were written, or copied, the scribes read to the multitude who could not read. In the books noio printed in our language, Italic letters are used chiefly to mark some word or words, on which greater stress or emphasis is placed. 92 SPELLER AND READER.
