THOUGH I am no advo
cate idolatry, yet usage
of some ofthe eastern nati
ons, who adored the riling
fan, seems to contain at least
one rational sentiment ; that
men ought themselves to rife
early enough to fee the riling
tan. If any inanimate object
might be feteaed as a repre
fentafive of divinity, a lumi
nary so glorious in its ap
pearnce,fo diffufive inits in
fluence, so benign in its ef
fects would undoubtedly be
entitled to the preference.
Though it cannot be a just
object of direct adoration, yet
it naturally leads our thoughts
to Him who is so. And at
no season can it more proper
ly elevate our hearts to the
grand source of light and joy,
than when it renews its
morning visits to our hemi
sphere, and rescues ut from
the gloom of night. Physi
cians tell us, that early riling
conduces to health of body
and vivacity pf mind. Di
vines teach us, that it is fa
vourable to devotion and pie
ty. They, it may be prelu
med, always rife early. The
prudent and industrious hus
bandman and mechanick ;
and the discreet and diligent
house wife will do the fame
at least, on principles of eco
nomy ; and if a regard to de
votion concurs, then their
early rising may be consider
ed as a virtue. It is in the
economical view that I re
commend it?

GION.
My neighbour Thrifty al
ways has a rich and forward
garden. It yields a plenty
and variety of uleful sauce ;
and it flourifhes when other
gardens wither. Tn his corn
fields and his dairy there is
an evident luperiority to ma- |
ny around him. I once asked
him the cause. " The whole
mystery," fays he, '• lies IN
rising early. An hour
Ipent in your garden or field
in the morning, is worth
mote than double the time in
the heat of the day. The
cool, dewy earth spread a
round the fender plants, re
frefhes and enlivens them;
but the burning foil when it
touches them makes th cm
droop and faint. My wife
often urges the necessity of ri
sing in season. She fays, her
cows must be milked and sent
to pasture before the dew is
evaporated ; for cows will not
feed in the heat of the
day: And (lie thinks the
grass is checked in its
growth, by feeding of it
down when it is dry and hot.
She affirms, a pasture must
contain its verdure much bet
ter, and keep a greater num
ber of cows, if they can feed
chiefly in the dew and cool
part of the day: For she fays,
it (lands to reason ; and (he
kn&vs the cows will give
double the milk. She succeeds
well; so l never dispute her
philosophy. Her cheese is
in the prels,before some of her
neighbours' cows are turned
out of the yard.
“ A good garden and dai
ry," fays Tbrifty, " are a
cheap, as well as a principal
part in the lupport of a fa
mily. Ben. Somnofe has as
good a farm as mine. But
he and his family spend
the morning in bed. He ne
ver has much of a garden or
dairy, though he might have
both as easily as I can. Flefli
is their chief dependence.
For want of garden-sauce
they eat more flefh than is
consistent with their health
or his purse ; Pork supplies
the place of milk, butter, and
cheese. He puts up, for do
meftick use, double the quan
tity that! do: But for two
months every year, he has
to buy fait meats by the
pound. If he would only
rife early enough to tend his
garden in the morning, to
fend his cows to pasture in
season, and to improve the
cool of the day in labour, he
would never have occasion to
buy fait pork out of his
neighbours' barrels. He
might maintain his family at
half the expence ; and they
would be in better health.
and better humour. The
morning air and lun beams
are lalubrious and enlivening.
He that uies them freely will
seldom need bitters to prepare
his stomach for breakfaft, or
bark to restore the vigour of
his constitution.
" I know a shoemaker who
employs several journeymen
and apprentices ; But he
keeps no order in his family.
The young fellows are usu.
ally abroad until midnight.
They deep accordingly in the
morning. For two or three
hours after they rife, they
have no more life or feeling
than their lap-Rone. Artifi
cial spirits must supply the
want of natural. Colds, rheu
matisms, cholicks and the itch
afflict them half their time;
and the doftor's bills absorb
one third of their earnings.
The ihoehaaker is growing
poor bv his bufiriHs ; and his
apprentices are brought up
to be poor all their days. I
know another of the fame
occupation,who by requiring
the observance of seasonable
hours in the morning, pre
lerves health, cheerfulhefs and
industry among his domif
ticks. He seldom has occasi
on for the assistance of the
physician. The business of his
(hop is executed with fidelity
and punctuality; His cuA
corners are never disappointed,
and therefore never leave him
in disgust. He thrives in his
calling ; and his apprentices,
when they leave him, go out
into the world with credit,
and never want employment.
The different reputation and
success of these two shoema
kers, are primarily owing to
their different manner of em
ploying the evening and the
morning; for this will always
influence the business of the
day." :
There appeared to me so
much weight in the observa
tions of Mr.. Thrifty and his
wife, that I could not fatisfy
myfelf, until I had communi
cated them to the publick.
