TTER E lies a glorious Kingof Spain,
Wh>fe praises ev'ry Poet pipes ;
Renown'd for many a •.fig-campaign,
And dealing death among the Snipes.
Yet laugh not living Kings, I pray,
Because his planets so befwin'd him,
For lo ! this King, I'm bold to fay,
Leaves greater fools with crowns
behind him.

(Concluded,)
The mischiefs o/Idleness.
THE CREATOR has so framed
the world and the condition of
mankind in it,that industry is neceffa.
,y to the support of human life. 'He
becometh poor' fays the wife king of
Israel, ' that dearth with a flack
• hand, but the hand of,the diligent
• maketh rich. The hand of the dil
* ligent (hall bear rule, but the floth
c fal shall be under tribute. Sloth
-6 fulnefscafteth into a deep deep, &
' the idle foul shall fuffer hunger.
< The sluggard will not plow by rea
-6 son of the cold, therefore (hall he
• beg in haryeft and have nothing.'—
These observations are often verified in
experience. It is rare that we fee a
prudent and an induftrioas man re
duced to real want, or a gothful, in
dolent creature prosperous.
Industry is not only necessary to the
fubfiftance, but conducive to the health
of the body. This can no more be
without aaion, than the salubrity of
the air can be preferred without winds
or the purity of waters without moti
on, Dead puddles soon become foul
and putrid, so the indolent t±T><c
tive soon contrad diseases. The fluids
purge off their peccant humours by
motiohb
The idle are not only useless, but
mifehievous members of society. An
Apostle describes them 6 as ftroling
' about from house to house, medling
' with other peoples' matters, tailing
' and speaking things that they ought
' not. ' Soloman gives a similar de
scription of them. ' They are wife
' in their own conceit ; apt to meddle
' with ftrife which belongs not to
' them ; they deceive their neighbours
' in sport, as a madman casts _g>ppt
' firebrands ; they serve as talebearers
' to reveal secrets and hand round
' mifehievous reports, which separate
' nearest friends. As coals, to burn
' ing coals, and as wood to fire, fe
' are such contentious people to kindle
' ftrifes.'
The idle are they who make the
most disturbance in neighbourhoods
and societies. They are usually very
conceited and felfimportant, and im
agine themselves mu£h wiser than
their neighbours. As they have no
butinefs of their own, they are at lei
sure to find fault with every bo
dyelfe The times are always ba for
them, and they are extremely apt to
complain, that times are so bad. They
always ascribe to other people the
grievances which they bring on them
(elves by their own laziness. If by
indolence and negligence they are re
duced to poverty, then the govern
ment is severe, the laws are unreafon
abl,, their neighbours are inhuman
and their creditors cruelly oppressive.
They juftify themselves and curse the
times, and look for relief by exciting
disquietudes. —
Idleness is not a solitary vice, in
temperance is one of its usual com.
panions ; gaming if frequently an at
tendant, and it is soon joined with a
perverseness of temper, tormenting 0
itfelf & vexatious to all around. The
day of calamity and distress is at hand
fiicknefs or age is coming on, when
they, who once were idle from habit
or inclination, will become inactive
through necessity, Then they mult
live on the labours of others or live no
longer. They have made no provifi-.
on for such a day, and can makQonF
now. One would think the conside
ration of future impotence®ight,e a
fufficient motive with every mat to
improve the healthful and vigorous
part of life in some honest and ufeful
iabours, that, in theday of infirmity
and affiiaion, he may releave his un
avoidable wants by the fruits of for
mer industry, and soothe the distresses
of his body by some agreeable reflecti
ons of mind. If any are incapable of
beinginftuenced by such considerations
they (hould be called upon in away
more efficacious.
Chriftiahity inftru& us to "fifrorfc
with our hands the thing,that is good,
that we may have to give to him that
heedet .' He that| needeth cooftant
supplies from the hand of charity is
not the person able to work with his
hands, for he is direfted to work that
he may give. The apoftolick church
was ordered to exclude not orily from
her communion, but from her chari
table support, such as refufed to con
tribute to their own maintenance by
honest industry. The famerule mould
be still observed by those societies
which are charged with the 9re of
the poor. ^heyUhould cheerf<Uy re
lieve those who are really needy; but
that they may not be overburthened,
they (hould exercise their benevolence
in a different w^, towards such mem
bers as are finding their time & sub-
Rance in vain.
