Proverbs. 1. It is easier .o praise poverty, than to bear it. 2. Prevention-is better than cure. 3. Learn wisdom by the follies of others. 4. Knowledge, without practice, makes but half ask the price of it. 6. To cure idleness, count the tickings of a clock. 7. It costs more to revenge injuries, than to endure them. 8. Conceited men think nothing can be done without them. 9. He, that kills a man, when he is drunk, must be hung when he is sober. 10. An idle man's head, is the devil's work-shop. 11. God makes, and apparel shapes. 12. Good watch prevents harm.

146. Keep a watchful and jealous eye over common opinions, prejudices and bad school instruction, until the influence of rea. son, nature and truth, is so far established over the ear and taste, as to obviate the dan-an artist. 5. When you want any thing, always ger of adopting or following, unquestionable errors, and vicious habits of reading and speaking: extended views, a narrow mind extend. To judge righteously of all things, preserve the mind in a state of perfect equilibrium, and let a love of truth and goodness govern all its decisions and actions.

Anecdote. A Scold. Foote, a celebrated comic actor, being scolded by a woman, said, in reply, "I have heard of tartar-and brimstone ;-you are the CREAM of the one, and the FLOWER of the OTHER."

"Ask for what end-the heavenly bodies shine?
Earth-for whose use ?-Man answers, 'Tis for mine;

Suckles each herb, and spreads out every flower;
Annual for me-the grape, the rose renew
The juice nectareous, and the balmy dew:
For me-health-gushes from a thousand springs;
For me-the mine-a thousand treasures brings,
Seas roll--to waft me, runs-to light me rise,
My footstool-earth, my canopy-the skies.”

to be better than truth.

Great were the hearts, and strong the minds,
Of those, who framed, in high debate,
The immortal league of love, that binds
Our fair, broad Empire, State with State
And deep the gladness of the hour,

When, as the auspicious task was done,
In solemn trust, the sword of power,
Was giv'n to glory's unspo I'd son.
That noble race is gone; the suns

Of fifty years have risen, ind set;
But the bright links, those chosen ones
So strongly forged, are brighter yet.
Wide-as our own free race increase...
Wide shall extend the elastic chain
And bind, in everlasting peace,

State after State, a mighty train.

150. Two grand objects are to be accoinplished by these lessons and exercises: the acquiring a knowledge of the vowel and consonant sounds, and a facility in pronouncing them by means of which, the voice is partially broken, and rendered flexible, as well as controllable, and the obstacles to a clear and distinct articulation removed: therefore, practice much, and dwell on every elementary sound, taking the letters separately, and then combining them into syllables, words and sentences.

Proverbs. If better were within, Letter would come out. 2. Jests, like sweetmeats, have often sour sauce. 3. Keep aloof from quirrels; be neither a witness, nor a party. 4. Least said, the soonest mended. 5 Little boats should keep near shore; greater ones may venture more. 6 Some are more nice than wise. 7. Make a wrong step, and down you go. 8. We all live and learn. 9. Riches, (like manure,) do no good, till they are kitchen fire. 11. Some-would go to the devil, if spread. 19. Silks and satins often put out the they had authority for it. 12. Love virtue, and abhor vice. 13. Good counsel has no prue.

Anecdote. Matrimony. A father, wishing to dissuade his daughter from all thoughts of matrimony, quoted the words: "She who marries, doeth well; but she who marries not, doeth better." The daughter, meekly replied, "Father, I am content to do well; let those do better, who can."

Boundaries of Knowledge. Human reason-very properly refuses to give its assent to any thing, but in proportion as it sees how that thing is, or is done. Now, which are attended with their difficulties. there are three directions-in natural science, The astronomer -sees and feels a diffi culty-in getting from the solar system-10 152. A good articulation-consists in giv- the universe; the chemist, in proceeding ing to every letter in a syllable, its due propor-from matter to its mysterious essence; tion of sound, according to the best pronunciation; and, in making such a distinction between the syllables, of which words are composed, as that the ear, without difficulty, shall acknowledge their number, and perceive, at once, to which syllable each letter belongs. When these things are not observed, the articulation is in that proportion, defective: the great object is to articulate so well, that the hearer can perfectly understand what is read or spoken, without being obliged to have recourse to a painful attention. A good articulation is the foundation of good delivery as the sounding of the musical notes with exactness, is the foundation of good singing.

Notes. 1. To produce this diphthongal aspirate sound, whisper the word kuss, and then repeat it, and leave out the i; k'ss: one of the most unpleasant sounds in our language. 2 Since the word diphthong merely signifies a double sound, there is no impropriety in calling double consonants, diphthongs, as we do certain vowels. 3. All critical skil! 'n the sound of language, has its foun. dation in the practical knowledge of the nature and properties of these elements: remember this and apply yourself accordingly. In all cases, get the proper sounds of letters, as given in the words, or first examples.

The nobler light-of mind;

The only light, save that of Heaven,

That should free-wiil homage find.

154. Reading-should be a perfect fac-| simile of correct speaking; and both exact copies of real life: hence, read just as you would naturally speak on the same subject, and under similar circumstances: so, that if any one should hear you, without seeing you, he could not tell whether you were reading or speaking. Remember that nothing is denied to industry and perseverance; and that rothing valuable can be obtained without them.

The second sound of X is that of gz; generally, when it immediately precedes the accent, and is followed by a vowel sound, or the letter h, in words of two or more syllables; EXIST; the ex- [X in EXIST.] hor-ter is ex-haust-ed by his ex-u-ber-ant exor-di-um, and desires to be ex-on-er-a-ted from ex-am-in-ing the ux-o-ri-ous ex-ec-utive; an ex-act ex-am-in-a-tion into the ex-agger-a-tions of the aux-il-li-a-ries ex-hib-its a lux-u-ri-ant ex-ile, who ex-ist-ed an ex-ot-ic in ex-em-pla-ry ex-al-ta-tion.

156. The letters o, and e, in to and the, are long, before vowels, but abbreviated before consonants, (unless emphatic,) to prevent a hiatus. Th' man took the instrument and began t' play th' tune, when th' guests were ready to eat. I have written to Obadiah t' send me some of th' wheat, that was brought in th' ship Omar, and which grew on th' land belonging t' th' family of the Ashlands. Are you going from town? No I am going to town. Th' vessel is insured to, at and from London,

Notes. 1. To make this diphthongal vocal sound, close the teeth as if to give the sound of C, and then bring into contact the posteriors, or the roots of the tongue, and back parts of the throat, and pronounce the imaginary word guz, several times; then omit the 14, and pronounce the g, z, by themselves: g-z. 2. For the 3d

sound of X, see the third sound of C. 3. These elemental sounds was the favorite study among the ancients, of the greatest ability. 157. Sight Reading. To become a good reader, and a reader at sight, one must always let the eyes precede the voice a number of words; so that the mind shall have time, clearly, and distinctly, to conceive the ideas to be communicated; and also feel their influence: this will give full play to the thoughts, as well as impart power from the affectuous part of the mind, to the body, for producing the action, and co-operation, of the right muscles and organs to manufacture the sounds and words. In walking, it is always best to see where we are about to step; it is equally so in reading, when the voice walks. Indeed, by practice, a person will be able to take in a line or two, in anticipation of the vocal effort: always look before you leap.

The high, the mountain-majesty-of worth-
Should be, and shall, survive its woe ;
And, from its immortality,-look forth-
In the sun's face,-like yonder Alpine snow,

WARREN'S ADDRESS AT THE BUNKER HILL BATTLE
STAND! the ground's your own, my braves
Will ye give it up to slaves?
Will ye look for greener graves?

Hope ye mercy still?
What's the mercy despots feel!
Hear it-in that battle peal!
Read it-on yon bristling steel !

Ask it-ye who will.
Fear ye foes who kill for hire?
Will ye to your homes retire ?
Look behind you! they're afire!

And before you, see
Who have done it!-From the vale-
On they come !—and will ye quail?
Leaden rain and iron kail

Let their welcome be!

.n the God of battles trust!
Die we may-and die we must :-
But, O' where-can dust-to dust

Be consigned so well,

As where heaven--its dews shall shed
On the martyr'd patriot's bed,
And the rocks shall raise their head,

Of his deeds to tell!
