(From the Wonky leiriew.)
Within the last few data, a littlo book has been
pat into our bands, which we amid not think of noticing
but for the aortae under which it Us been published, and
the pane taken to circulate it among the children of the poor,
for whom instruction it purporta to be desired. A tow a:-
tracts will enable our readers to judge of its tendency. In
an exposition of the duties of children to their parenta, we
have the following pumas—the man. In italics being so
printed in the origiaal :

prowsial to pa est your tongue at their or mock them, ar
the like, through spite or contempt, or In their horrify to

boasts, artakards."
