The Pumpkin and Padd,.
A certain Paddy, newly trarifport
rd into this country, passed by where
a farmer was gathering Pumpkins.
"By m, fnoutand what do you call
them," fays the Paddy—" Mare's
eggs," fays the farmer, " And by
St. Patrick, and wont you fell me
one of them? for I with to get in a
way of railing my own borles, for
my poor old father ftrtightened the
hemp for nothing but for taking one
without liberty"—“ Yes, yet, for#
quarter of a dollar you may take
one." So Paddy takes it and on he
goes—and in descending a hill, he
by chance let the pumpkin fall, and
it took a direction down the hill to.
wards a bunch of buffies, and Mr.
Paddy in full speed after it. The
Pumpkin (truck a stump and split o
pen—a rabbit which lay under the
bushes sleep, started, almost frighted
to death, and Paddy after it, yelling
—" flop that tab ! flop that fault!
stop that ch/"Q
Extrerf from the jecond part of PAINE'S Age
of Reason.
TO be happy in an old age, it ia
teceffary that we accustom quifeivts
ro objeds that can accompany the
mind all the way though life, and
that we take the rest, as good in their
day. The mere man of pfeafure is
miserable in old age ; and the mere
drudge in bufinefi is but little better:
whereas, natural philosophy, mathe
matical, and mechanical feetenets, are
fa controul source of tranquil plealure,
and in fpte of the gloomy dogmas of
ptiefts, and of faperftition, the study
of those things is the fludy of the
,true theology ; it teaches man to
know and to admire the Creator, for
the principles of Science that are in
the creation, are unchangeable and of
divine origin.
Those who knew Benjamin Frank
lin will recoiled, that his mind was
ever young; bis temper ever serene ;
(cifoce. that never grows grey, was
always his mistress. Withold an fy

PREFACE tothe READER..
This mall volume of Tales and Stories is
collected for thy diversion and inftruaien, &
may serve to show thee what Subtle devices
an ! malicious accusations were formerly laid
to attain to grandeur, and gratify malicious
and ambitious persons.
'Here you may observe, that the intent of
this final! book (written in an allegorical and
pleasant method) is to promote fincetity and
fidelity, and to difeountenance treachery and
falfebood. If you are inclined to virtue,
here are precedents to dire& you ; if to inno
cence, here are rules to inftrud you ; and if
you would avoid vice, here are examples
which let before.you the scandal and misery
which attend a vicious life. In a word, you
may here learn to despise vanity,tp prjze in•
nocence, to expert death, to escape hell, and
to obtain heaven.
You will find the hiftorieal part interspers
ed with curious lessons to please the fancy,
delight the mind, fkarpen the wit, Had illum
inate the understanding. The moral part,
inftruds the mind in the knowledge and pre
,cepts of virtue, as the hiftorieal delights the
fancy arid improves the judgment.
I This small book likewise, by the diverting
Tories therein, encourages and allures chil
drenand youth to learn to read ; for which
end it is written in an intelligible style.
