The continued demand for Comly's Spelling Book, after a lapse of more than twenty years experience of its utility, has induced the compiler to revise and im- prove the work for the ease of teachers and the benefit of little children. In adapting and communicating instruction to infant minds, it should ever be remembered that an easy gradation is most natural. To acquire a competent knowledge of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, requires an effort of the powers of memory, that may be assisted by the association of emblems, names, or things that are familiar to sight, hearing, taste &c. In the author's primer, or first book for children, this is illustrated by cuts and by names. But in the combination of the sounds of letters, a still greater effort of the intellect of children is required. Names and figures of objects may assist in a few cases, but they are inadequate to the general formation of words. Spelling is the reading of letters, and sounds or words are formed by the rapid pronunciation of letters, b, a, — ba, is only the quick succession of the sounds of b and a : b, a, d, — bad, is in like manner the hasty expression of the three letters, b, a, d ; but another sound of a, occurs, which the teacher's example only can convey to the imitative powers of the pupil. So it will be perceived in all the various combinations of letters to form articulate sounds, and the gradation cannot be too simple for the exertions of the learner. It is the different powers of letters in the formation of words, and the arbitrary or anomalous use of them, that occasion the difficulties of acquiring the arts of 4 TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS. spelling and reading. The selection of words for the first lessons being simple, and the powers of the letters easily combined, encourages the exertions of the pupil, till at length he gains confidence in himself, and be- comes able to conquer greater difficulties. As spelling is the reading of letters, so reading is the silent spelling of words. As soon as the pupil can spell words of three letters, he can be taught or in- structed to read them, and his proficiency in the reading of words, by mental spelling, will soon be found equal to his audible spelling. For, in acquiring thie art of reading, it is not so much the undjerstanding of thje subject the child is reading about, in his first lessqns, as it is the power of combining (mentally, or by the eye) the powers of the letters that form words. A scholar will also, with a little practice, learn to spell his words out of book, or by rote, almost as soon as by sight ; after first spelling, and then reading them in the book. Thus, by giving short exercises of spelling, three very important objects may be gained at once, or in about the same length of time ; spelling, reading, and reciting (or spelling out of book). This systejn of tuition may be pursued with advantage, through all the spelling and reading lessons, and even with classes of ready readers, the spelling out of book may be pursued, so that they will become familiar with this essential branch of a good education — correct orthography. To this may also be added, the definitions of the most diffi- cult words, learned by the help of a dictionary, and re- peated by the class, in rotation, after first spelling the words selected or given out by the teacher. %th mo. 1835.

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 w^hen you have done with them, put them by in the right place, that you may know where to find them, safe and clean.

John was not very well, yet he was not so ick as to need a doctor. Being fretful, his nurse said he was cross, md put him in a dark closet, to make him he c[uiet. But he only cried the more, with fear and mger, so that he was in danger of going into its. Little hoys should never he put into dark losets to correct them, even when they are naughty ; hut when they are sick and fretful, t is very cruel to punish them. i hid den hig ot hil let bit ter blis ter chil dren chil ly cin der cit ron civ il dif fer din ner LESSON 9.

When we rise out of our beds, let us seek to be still, and strive to turn our minds to our dear Lord, who dwells, by his Spirit, in the hearts of all those that are good ; and let us beg of him that he may help us, and keep us from all things that are not right in his sight. Let us strive to feel thankful for his great love and care over us, from day to day.

Gold, silver, lead, iron, copper, and tin are called metals, and are dug out of the earth. Of all the metals, iron is said to be the most useful to us. Stoves, grates, locks, bolts, chains, shovels, and a great many other things are made of iron. Money is made of gold, silver, and copper. Lead and tin are used for pipes, vessels, toys, and sometimes to cover houses.

The eye of the Lord is over all men. Those that fear him, and put their trust in him, shall be safe. He vs^ill bless those that fear him ; he w^ill love them, and do them good. Let us draw near to him, and wait on him, that he may draw near to us. C 26 LESSON 10. The Oak Tree. The oak is one of the largest trees that grow in this part of the world. It bears nuts, called acorns ; they taste bitter, but they are very good food for pigs. An acorn, put into the ground, may in time become a large tree. Oaks live to a very great age, and the wood is very useful. LESSON 11.

When the canes are ripe, they are cut, and taken to a mill, where they are pressed and broken between two rollers. A white juice runs out, which is very sweet; and this is boiled with a little alum and lime : the scum is taken off, and after boiling a long time it becomes thick ; and when cool, is broken into coarse sugar. White or loaf sugar is made of brown sugar, by refining it. c2 ■' ■ " ' ^ 30 SECTION VIIL The accent on the first syllable.

Tea is brought to us from China, Japan, and some other places. The leaves of the tree, or tea-plant, as some call it, are gathered in the spring, while they are young, and placed over a steam of boiling water, to wither them. They are then laid on plates of copper, and dried over the lire, or in the sunshine, which curls them up, in the manner we see them.

Coffee is the seed of a fruit like a cherry. The tree that bears it grows in warm countries. The fruit is spread on mats in the sunshine to dry, and then bruised with rollers, to force out the seeds ; this divides them in two. They are again dried in the sun, before they are put on board the ships to be brought to us.

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 the briny water is covered with a crust, which growls harder and harder, till it becomes salt. 32 LESSON 7. 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 those who sit next to you ; for this is wrong, even if your teacher should not see it.

Many have wished, 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 learn- ing 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.

Birds' nests When spring comes, how husy the birds are 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.

How various also are the forms of their nests ! Some collect dead grass, roots, or straw, with which they make the outside of the nest, and line it v/ith soft feathers, moss, or wool. Others build their nests v. ith straw or sticks, and cement them with clay or mud ; others again unite them with gum, and line them with some soft substance. Some kinds of birds suspend their nests from the bough of a tree, and form them of tow, bark, or hemp. k A the ist bla ma ble bra ve ry ca pa ble care ful ness care ful ly care less ly dra pe ry fa vour ite fa vour less grate ful ly la bi al la hour er la zi ness pa per mill ra ri ty sla ve ry va can cy wa ver ing LESSON 14. i di a per di a ry fi nal ly fi ne ry i ro ny i vo ry li a ble li bra ry like li hood nine ti eth mi cro scope ni ce ty night in gale pi e ty pli a ble pri ma ry ri ot ous si lent ly vi o lence o bo re as CO pi ous glo ri fy glo ri ous ho li ness home li ness low er most lo cal ly lone li ness no ble man no ta ble no ta ry no ti fy pi um o ver plus po et ry rose ma ry so her ly to tal ly 36 LESSON 15. The size and colour of their eggs are as va- rious as their nests ; but they all appear to be tender of their young ones, and careful to pro- vide food for them, and to nourish and protect them till they are old enough to take care of themselves. How w^anton, hovs^ cruel is it, then, to rob the birds of their eggs, or their young ! And yet some little boys are so hard-hearted as to destroy their nests, and take their eggs ; and some w^ho take the young birds from their soft, vv^arm nests, forget to feed them ; and then the poor little birds die w^itli hunger and cold.

The Rohin. See the robin spread her wings. Now she flies to yonder tree ; There she sits, and sweetly sings ; Pretty robin, come to me. Come and sit upon my knee. And thy lovely feathers show ; Crumbs of bread, I'll give to thee. And, when thou pleasest, let thee go. I'll not hurt thy little nest. Neither take thy eggs away ; But I'll feed thee with the best. Let thee go, or let thee stay. SECTION IX. Words in which ti, si, and ci, are sounded like sh. — The accent on the second syllable.

Some birds live on fish, frogs, and worms-) and have very long legs to wade in the water; — others have short legs for swiiiiming: and their toes are joined together by a skin that grows between them, which, like oars, or the fins of a fish, helps them to swim. Many water-fovv' Is 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. When they put their heads under the water, a thin skin is drawn over the eye. which hin- ders the water from getting into it, and yet does not prevent them from seeing. 40 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^rain. How great, how wise, and how good is the bountiful Creator, who has formed so great a variety of birds, and placed them in such order that each knows and keeps its proper place ! He provides food for them all, and takes care of them all, so that " not a sparrow can fall to the ground without his notice." SECTION X. Words of four syllables. — The accent on the second syllable.

Love between brothers and sisters. Whatever brawls disturb the street. There should be peace at home ; Where sisters dwe]l, and brothers meet. Quarrels should never come. Birds in their little nests agree. And 'tis a shameful sight, When children of one family Fall out, and chide, and fight. Hard names at first, and threatening words. That are but noisy breath. May grow to clubs and naked swords, To murder and to death. LESSON 3.

Let love through all your actions run^ Let all your words be mild ; Live like the virgin Mary's son. That sweet and lovely child. His soul was gentle as a lamb. And as his stature grew, He grew in favour both with man. And God, his father, too. The Lord most high, who reigns above, Does from his heavenly throne, Behold what children dwell in love. And marks them for his own.

The good boy. 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 him 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 him what he wants, he does not grumble or pout out his Hps, or look angry, or cry ; but he thinks that his parents know what is proper for him, better than he does, because they 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.

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 knovy^s it is wrong ; 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 w ell 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 the^n, 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. 45 LESSON 10. He 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 instruct him, and to keep him out of dan- ger, and he is thankful for their love and care. He likes to go to school, and to read and write, and to learn something good every day ; that, if he should live to he a man, he may be wise and good. SECTION XI. The accent on the first syllable.

He never takes any thing that is not his own, nor meddles with it without leave. When he walks into the garden or orchard, he 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 thank- ful 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 manner, without talking, or asking for more, when he has enough.

He never tells a lie, nor departs from the truth. If he has done any mischief, or said any nanghty word, he confesses it, and says he is very sorry, and that he will try to do so no more. He never tries to conceal his faults, but he is willing to own them, and try 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. When he reads or repeats his lesson, he always tries to do it with a clear voice, so as to be heard distinctly.

When lie lies down at night, he tries to re- member all he has been doing, and all that he has been saying during the day. 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 meeting 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.

The Camel. The camel is a native of Arabia. He is one of the most useful beasts in that part of the world. He is able to carry very heavy burdens, and he will kneel down to receive them, and when his load is put on, he rises on his feet again : but if it be too great, he will not rise, but cry till a part of it is taken off. The camel will travel two days w^ithout eating any thing, and a much longer time without drink.

The camel has a very small head, short ears, and a long bending neck. It has two bunches on its back, on which they place its load. Its height, to the top of the bunches, is about six feet and a half. It has a long tail, small hoofs, and flat feet. Its milk and its flesh are used by the Arabs for food, and its hair is made into clothing. SECTION XIII. Words in which ti, si, and ci are sounded like sh. — The accent on the third syllable.

Disobedience punished. Little Henry was a very smart, lively boy ; he was the son of a worthy man, w^ho lived in a tow^n, near w hich manv accidents had hap- pened to youth and others by horses. * \ His parents had often told him not to go i near to a horse, nor ' attempt to ^et on one to 1 ride, without their leave ; and pointed out the danger of little boys riding on horses before they are old enough to manage them.

But Henry, being one day at play with an- other little boy, at some distance from home, and seeing a nice plump little horse, he did not regard his parents' advice, but asked leave of the owner to ride it. As soon as the man had given them leave, though he told them not to ride fast, yet they both got on, and began to kick and beat the horse, to make him gallop. Upon this a dog ran out, and began to bark at them, and the horse set off at full speed.

The two little boys rode but a little way be- fore the hindmost one fell off; and though he was not very much hurt, he was greatly terri- fied. Henrj^ was not able to guide the horse, but he fell soon after, and his foot being in the stir- rup, he was dragged with his head on the ground for some distance ; and when the peo- ple caught the horse, and released him from the saddle, he appeared almost dead, and did not know any thing.

They soon found that he was very much bruised, and that one of his arms was broken. In this state he was taken home, and had his arm set, and his wounds dressed ; but he suffered very great pain, and for many months he could not use his arm. Now think what great trouble it must have given his parents, because he had been so naughty, and did what they had told him not to do. SECTION XIV.

The days that are past are gone for ever : those that are to come may not come to us. The present time only is ours ; let us, there- fore, improve it as much as possible. Every desire of the heart, every secret thought, is known to him who made us. How pleasant it is, when we lie down at night, to reflect, that we are at peace with all persons ; that we have taken care to perform the duties of the day ; that the Almighty be- holds and loves us.

Blessed is the man that walketh in the fear of the Lord. Happy is he that findeth wisdom ; for the ways of wisdom and virtue are all pleasant, and lead to life and peace ; but they that hate wisdom and truth, walk in the paths of dark- ness, which lead to death. Therefore love wisdom, and pursue the paths of virtue and peace ; so shall glory and safety be thy reward.

They do not pout, nor quarrel, nor cry, be- cause it is not better, but they eat it with cheer- fulness. LESSON 9.

Those who live in riches and fulness, whose | tables are furnished with plenty of the good 1 things of this life, should remember to be kind | to the poor. There are many poor people in this land of plenty, \\] lose houses do not shelter them from || the storm ; some have neither fire i nor clothes 1 enough to secure them fr om the cold, and many children are ragged and dirty, and cannot get shoes nor stockings to wear all winter. 1 LESSON 13. h 4 o a k Aid gos ling chaste straight sway fore head strange stairs frail col lege blaze traipse snail con course plaint flail feign hogs head dray saint reign hon our trait staid tear jock ey plait drain chain lodg er their spray sprain skein mon arch whey stain mon strous there bathe rein mot ley grey lathe feint non sense neigh hames heir ob ject freight paste quaint op tics weight taste gauge or ange eight waste baize prog ress prey swain maize prom ise pear waist air prod uct wear scales strain por ridge phrase great rase pot sherd yea scarce fain proph et vein baste 64 LESSON 14. The tables Of many poor people are often nearly bare, and the children are crying for bread, but there is none to give them. When the precious morsel that was earned by hard labour is brought home, it is soon gone ; and they know not where the next sup- ply is to jcome from : they often go hungry all day, and to bed at night without any supper.

The beaver is a native of the northern parts of Europe and Asia, and also of America. Its length, from nose to tail is about three feet ; and its tail is about a foot long, in shape like an egg, only flat, and is covered with scales like those of a fish. Its fur is very soft and fine, and is used by hatters to make the finest hats. It has very strong cutting teeth, short ears, and a blunt nose. LESSON 19.

Beaver dams. For the purpose of building a dam, they choose a piece of level ground near a river. or with a stream of water running through it, which they form into a pond by making a bank, or dam, across it. This they do by fixing stakes in the ground, five or six feet long, placed in rows ; which they fasten together w ith twigs, after the man- ner in which baskets are m.ade, and plaster up the cracks with clay. .

The length of a beaver dam is sometimes as much as a hundred feet, and the breadth, at the bottom, ten or twelve feet ; but they are made sloping towards the top, which is not more than two feet wide. Their cabins or huts are built upon piles in the edge of the pond, of a round or oval shape. They are sometimes eight feet high above the top of the water, and have two or three stories. The walls or sides are often two feet thick, and are made of earth, stoiies, and sticks, laid very closely, and then plastered smooth on the inside, like a house. In these cabins they store their winter food, which c(?nsists of bark and boughs of trees.

There are often as many as two hundred beavers at work in building one of these dams, and their huts or cabins ; about which they use their very strong and sharp fore teeth, in felhng trees, and cutting off logs. While some of them are cutting off limbs for stakes to be driven into the ground, others are busy in bringing clay to plaster with, or in rolling logs, or carrying stakes and twigs for the building. When their huts are finished and dry, they lay up their winter stores in them in nice or- der, and live in these cabins during the cold weather of winter. LESSON 25.

The more we study and know of his works. the more we see of the wisdom and goodness of the great Creator.

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 innocent bird, w^hile'she was careful for her young. 72 LESSON 30. 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 soo^e 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. He then went on his errand, but for some hours after, he could think of nothing else but the cruelties he had committed, and he was much troubled in his mind on account thereof.

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 as birds, beasts, fishes, worms, and insects. But if this tender feeling in the mind is not regarded, 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.

When thou hast done any thing that is wrong, and feelest uneasy, or troubled in thy mind therefor, remember and know that this, which thus troubles and disquiets thee, is nothing less than the Spirit of our Lord and Saviour himself, who dwells in thy heart, and knows the evil that thou hast done. Take care that thou stifle not this feeling, but attend to it in stillness, and seek to know what it is ; and thus turn thy mind to thy dear Redeemer, that thou mayest repeoit, and ask forgiveness of him for thy bad conduct ; and then take heed to thyself, to guard against ever doing the like again.

Never play ball in the house, nor by the side of the house, when the windows are open. A little boy was once playing w^ith his ball in a room w^here there was a looking glass, when his father and mother were gone from home. Before he began to play, he had 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 windows, but perhaps he did not think of them. 80 LESSON 3. As the little boy was busy in playing with his ball about the room, and not thinking of the looking 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 nfl 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 con- fess his fault, and speak the truth about it.

As soon as his father and mother came home, he went to them, and said. Father, I have been playing 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 is a wicked thing to tell falsehoods ; and those who give way thereto will not be believed, even when they speak the truth. But he who owns his faults, and always keeps to the truth, will gain favour.

Against lying. O 'tis a lovely thing for youth To walk betimes in wisdom's way. To fear a lie, to speak the truth. That we may trust to ail they say ! But liars we can never trust, Tho' they should speak the thing that's true ; For he that does one fault at first. And lies to hide it, makes it two.

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, com- monly go with us through life. When we confess our errors, and are sorry for them, generous and good persons will pity and forgive 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.

When you see those who are poor or old, lame or blind, sick or in pain, try to feel pity for them, and be thankful to your heavenly Father for his providence and care over you, and the many blessings which you enjoy. We see many little children running about the streets, who are dirty and ragged, and ap- pear as if they had none to take care of them. How kind are our parents and friends, who provide food and clothing for us, and how grate- ful ought we to be for their love and care ! In the days of youth, v^^hen health and pleasure attend us, it is good for us to think of death, and frequently to consider our latter end. 88 1 SECTION IIL 1 The accent on the third syllable.

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 welter, in which is a rollor with sharp knives set in it; this roller is turn- | ed round very swi ftly by a mill, and cuts or 1 grinds the rags into a pulp or paste, which is taken up by a mould, and made into paper.

It is then pressed very hard by means of strong iron screws, and afterwards hun^' 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 merchant to guard his yard, and was com- monly chained by day, but let loose at night. A boy, w^ho lived near, took a pleasure in teasing the dog, by throwing sticks and stones at him, and trying to vex him. The dog w^as 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 un- kind and cruel to him, but it seemed too late ; for the enraged animal seized him by the throat, and brought him to the ground, and it is most likely w^ould have put an end to his life, had not some person come to assist him, and with niuch difficulty took the dog off.

The attentive and industrious girl. We like to have the good-will of our pa- rents and friends, of our brothers, sisters and playmates, and to know that they love us. Now if we would gain the love and affec- tion of others, we must be kind, dutiful, and obliging, willing to be taught, and desirous to learn ; not soon angry, but patient, good na- tured, and submissive. Such is little Mary. She always minds what her father and mother say to her. She is not noisy, nor troublesome ; sullen nor un- mannerly ; so that they like to have her with them, and to instruct her.

She loves her book, and takes care to keep it clean and neat, so that it is never left lyin^ about or on the floor, nor does she let it get torn, or curled at the corners. She has learned to read so w^ll, and she is so good a girl, that her father has given her a number of little books, which she reads by herself, when she pleases ; and she takes pains to understand what she reads. She often reads to her parents, and takes care to mind her stops, and to read with a clear voice, so as to be heard distinctly ; and she im- proves very much.

Whatever she is set about, or undertakes to do. she takes pains to do it well ; for she thinks it best to attend to one thing at a time till she gets it done ; and while she is doing one thing, not to be thinking about another. If she has made a mistake, or done any thing wrong, she is sorry for it, and tries to do better in future ; and when she is told of a fault, she does not deny it, but endeavours to amend, and avoid it another time. As she is desirous to improve and grow wiser and better as she grows older, she is wdlling to be told of her faults, and is thankful for good counsel.

When she wants to know any thing, she asks her father or mother to tell her ; and she tries to under- stand and to remember what they say ; but if they do not think proper to answer her questions, she does not tease them, or continue asking ; but is quiet, and turns her mind to something else. She likes to sit by her mother, and sew or knit. When she sews, she does not take long stiches, nor pucker her work, but she does it neatly, just as her mother tells- her. She always keeps her work clean ; and when she has done it, she folds it up, and puts it by carefully.

Such a careful little girl very seldom loses her thimhle, her needles, scissors, or thread, or any thing else she has to work with. She never puts her needles or pins in her mouth ; for she has been told that it is danger- ous, and that many sorrowful accidents have happened hy it. She has a little trunk or drawer for her clothes, and she takes care to fold them up neatly, and keep them in nice order. If she sees a hole or rent in any of her clothes, she mends it, or asks her mother to have it done. LESSON 11.

A man once found a nest of little humming birds, which he put into a cage, and placed it by his chamber window. The old birds came to feed them every hour in the day ; and they soon became so tame" as to live in the room with their young ones. They were then fed by the owner with a clear paste, made of wine, biscuit, and sugar ; and they often perched on his hand to eat. In this manner they lived with him about six months ; till one night he forgot to hang up their cage, and the rats came and devoured them all.

Joseph Harris, a child of eleven years old, during his last illness, gave the following advice to his sister. Dost thou know that it is thy duty to pray .to the Lord every night, to return him thanks for his preservation through the day, and ta desire his protection through the night ; also, in the morning, to return thanks to him for relieving thee from darkness ? When thou sittest down to meals, recollect how many there are that would be glad of the smallest morsel, while thou hast full and plenty ; return the Almighty thanks for his bounty, and be good to the poor. Be dutiful to thy mother ; mind the advice of thy un- cles, aunts-, and friends. Love every body; even them that don't love thee ; love thy enemies. Endeavour to assist thy poor afflicted mother, who is struggling through the world, with four children without a father, and her fifth going to be taken from her. Love thy little brother and sister ; endeavour to teach them the truth, and walk in the paths of truth, and the Almighty will be a father to thee.

The wounded Bird. On hearing the report of a gun, and the flutter of m^ny wings above my head, I looked up, and beheld a flock of partridges. One of them, being wounded, was unable to keep up with the rest, and flying faintly to the ground, hid itself among the grass just by me. I beheld the poor bird mangled and bleeding, and rolling itself upon the ground in excess of agony. I heard its mournful cries, and saw its distress without being able to relieve it. I was witness to misery which rent my heart, but the pangs of which I could not alleviate. If sportsmen knew the agonies of a wound- ed bird, left to pine and to perish alone, those who had any feelings of humanity would certainly relinquish so cruel a practice.

Come, let us praise God, for he is very great; let us bless him, for he is very good. He made all things ; the sun to rule the day, the moon to shine by night : He made the great whale of the sea, and the little worm also, that crawls on the ground. The little birds sing praises to God, when they warble sweetly in the green shade ; and I will praise him also with my voiccj and sing of all his wondrous works. When I am older, I will praise him better ; and will never forget God, as long as my life remains in me. 105 LESSON 20. Advice to Youth. As soon as you are awake in the morning, strive to turn j^our minds inward, and to still and silence all your own thought:?, that so you may wait on your great Creator, to feel love and thankfulness arise in your hearts to Him, for his divine care and preservation of you during the night ; and sincere desires that he may keep you from all things that are not right in his sight the ensuing day. Then rise ; and when you are dressed, wash your hands and faces clean, and comb your heads ; and go cheerfully about the busi- ness*your parents or master may direct. SECTION II.

When you are at school, remember that it is out of kindness and love to you, that your parents have sent you there, or procured you the liberty of going. Take pains to improve in reading, writing, or whatever else your pa- rents or teachers are so kind as to instruct you in, or wish you to learn ; and do not disappoint their hopes, or grieve them by being careless and negligent about your learning, but apply yourselves with diligence and attention to whatever studiej or business your teacher «may appoint you.

In coming to school and returning home, be careful to behave with decency and so- briety. Do not be noisy, nor loiter by the way, but pass along quietly, without offending or hurting any person or thing, either by words or actions. At evening, when you go to bed, consider coolly, before you close your eyes for sleep, how you have spent the foregoing day ; and if you find nothing said or done amiss, and every thing speaks peace and innocence within ; let an humble acknowledgment and grateful thankfulness to the great Preserver of men fill your hearts, for his care and preservation of you through the day.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. With this constantly on your minds, much advice will not be needful, and without it, none will be effectual. If you live in this fear, it will regulate every thought, word, and action. At your rising in the morning, and lying down at night, it will impress your minds with gratitude to your Creator for his continued favours. It will lead you to a vsober, decent beha- viour at meals. It will teach you to observe a punctual attendance on divine worship, and a quiet, humble deportment while there ; as well as decency of conduct in going to and return- ing therefrom.

As you continue to walk in this holy fear, it will instruct you to be dutiful to your pa- rents, guardians, and teachers ; and will tend to preserve you from strife, ill-will, speaking evil of others, and every other kind of im- proper conduct. It will most effectually prevent you from ever telling a lie, or using your Maker's name in vain. It will preserve you from evil in this world, and prepare you for a state of never- ending happiness in that which is to come. SECTION III. The accent on the third syllable. LESSON 1.

Good children love to read the Bible, or to hear other people read in it. It was written by good men, and it is the best ^nd most ex- cellent of all books. In the Bible we read of those who loved God, and whom he loved and blessed ; such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Joseph and Moses, and Samuel and David, and many others, men, women, and children. There we read of the great and good things that God has done for us, and for all people ; how just, and wise, and kind, and powerful, he is; and what we must do to serve and to please him. LESSON 3.

There- also we read of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who never did any thing that was wrong. He never did harm to any, but went about doing good to the bodies and to the souls of men. He was gentle, patient, and kind to all persons, even to those who were unkind to him, who mocked him, and treated him with scorn and derision. And even when cruel men were about to kill him, and had nailed him to a cross, he prayed for his persecutors, saying, " Fa- ther, forgive them, for they know not what they do." . LESSON 5.
