If persons of thefazefamily alwaysftodied
to pleafeat home as .-icb as they do to foew

vantageous arefs. —hot behind the feene they
are in an undress, and aid without difguije.
Therefore our domfic behaviour is the main
tef rf our virtue and good nature —-for our
good or ill- breeding is chieflyfeen abroad—cur
good or ill-nature at home.
To fee a well regulated family acting as if
they were one body, informed by one foul,where,
" if one member Juffered, all the members sos-
Jered with it," —To fee tbofe who are em
barked together in one bottom, whose intereJis
are infeparabiy united, and whose hearts ought
to be Jo too —to fee tbofe ading in concert, a
dotting each others cares, uniting their friend
ly beams, and jointly promoting their common
happiness, is the most pleasing piastre in hu
man life, and mus excite either our enay
or our emulation.
Our love like the law of attraflion, is the

that our benevolence might bave particular ob

with those, with whom, on all accounts,
we are under the fronge/l Negations tc
live in harmony. From tbefe it extends to
cur neighbors, dill expanding to all mankind.
—Domefic affronts and animosities are there

Beholdthe pleafag feene, the wafer of a

ROLL on ye hours, the ^a come
When I no more in vain fha!l roam,
But be th' unhappy bleft ;
Grief's chilling armseo more entwine
'4 he heart that ffiall be link'd with mine,
And fe^r no more molcft.
May prudence all our actions guide :
In pleasure let each moment glide ;
And virtue be our aid:
Each other's welfare be our aim,
Each other's love we then can claim,
And virtue'll be repaid.

And rankling malice die.

them in proportion to your debts.—Do
not be alhamed of paying a small fam be
eaufe you owe a greater. Money, more
or left, is always welcome, and your cre
ditor had rather be at the troubl^of re

Remember that Credit is money. If a
man lets money lie in my hands after it is
due, htfgives me the intcreft, cr so much
a, I can make cf it during that time.
This amounts to a considerable sum, if
man has good and large credit and makes
good use of it.
Remember that money is of a prolific,
generating nature.—M-ne, can beget
money and its offspring can beget more
and so on; five (hillings turned is fix;
turned again 'tis seven and three pence,
and so on until it becomes an hundred
pounds. Themore there is cf it the more it
produces every turning ; so that the prof
its rife quicker and quicker. He that
kills a breeding sow, dedreys all her
offspring to the thousandth generation.
He that murders a cow, deflio's all it
might have produced, even scores of
pounds.
Remember that fix pounds a wear is but
a groat a day. For this little sum, which
may daJy be waisted in time or expence
unperceived, a man of credit may, on hi:
own security, have the constant use and
peffeffionofa hundred pounds. So much
tn flock britkiy turned by an inductions
man, produces great advantage.
Remember this faying, That the goon
paymafler is lord of another man's furf.
He that is known to pay punctually ma,
at any time and on any occasion raise ah
the money his friends can spare. This is
fomeiimes of great use ; therefore neve,
keep borrowed money an hour beyond the
time you promised, left a disappoint
meet shut up your friend's purse forever.
The most trifling action chit effeds a
man's credit are to be regarded. The
