francs, five years superintendent

A SOVEREIGN REMEDY FOR AMERI-

Proposed four and sixty years ago,
and as much to be relied on as the
hest prescriptions Of Hippocrates or

I. When you incline to have new
clothes, look first well over the old
ones, aud see it you cannot SHIFT with
them another year, either by scour-
ING, mending. or even patching, if ne
cessary. Remember a patch on your
coat and money in your pocket, are
better aud more cfeditable. than a writ
~ your back. and no money to take
it off-aHd when you must buy clothes
let them, | beseech you, be the pro-
duce Of your own country; they will
keep you as warm and perhaps last
as lung as the best pieces of cloth
manufactured in q. Britain.
9. When you incline to buy Chi
ma ware. chintzes. ladies silks, or any
such haubles, l would not be so hard
with YOU rs to insist IN your absolute.

is to put il off (as You do yovr repcn-
tanccl till another year--and this IL

sion Of repentance.
8. II you are now drinker OF
puuch, WING, ale, tca or coffee twice a

drink rum, iill the glass half with wa

get any OF it for nothing; but all he
