G He that hath mouth of his own should
never bid others blow,n said my uncle Bar
tholomew to me one day, as he observed me
directing another to do that which should
have done myself. Now, my uncle was
pretty shrewd old chap, and possessed good
fund of such odd sayings as the above, which
he never failed repeating TO me, when they
were necessary and, as often had cause to
regret my not following them, they made a
very deep impression upon my mind, and were
of immense benefit to nae in the long run-af-
fording me a fine criterion, by which to mark
the proceedings of my acquaintance.
There was OF my companions young fellow
called Jeremy Measurewell. Now Jerry was
a fine joYial young man, of whom was ex-
tremely fond-he was. when left my native
village, a sober, industrious and upright
youth; and had, by his perseverance and fru-
gality, gathered together considerable sum
of money, which he invested in merchan-
die, and was doing very handsomely-he
likewise married plain, tidy young damsel,
by whom he had three fine children. Such
was jerry, when | went away-but, alas on
my return, ten years after, the scene was
changed Jerry had fallen into the practice
of 6 bidding Others blow As his business in
creased, instead Of doubling his attention. he
employed a clerk. In a Short time no on
trusted his affairs entirely TO his mai.oqament :.
and as dleness begets bad practices, he liz,
dulged himself very often with a friendly glass,
and gave himself up completely to ffolickingl
And what was the consequence? Why, his
business was nesiected-debts accumulated
creditors became clamorous-he became
notwithstanding his wife and children de-
pendent upon publick charity for subsistence
And all this arose simply from his & bidding
Others blOlC, rjtile lie had mouth of his ou1
Not 50. was it with Timothy Turnwell.-
Tim was about the same age with Jerry they
were play-mates in their youth, and as they
grew older they cherished the friendship of
their younger days. Tim was a wheel
wright--was careful and thrifty, though not
niggardly; he would take an occasional glass
with an acquaintance, but would not neg
lect his business in order to have frohck
--he was generous to the poor, and punctual
to his engagements with the rich-but, above
all, he never bid others blow p And
what was the result of this prudent conduct ?
II was this: On my return, found him in
easy circumstances; he was made Justice
of the peace-was married, and had d family
of thriving children, and was beloved and
respected by the whole village. Such was
the good effects arising from merely following
others blow, when you have a mouth Of your
own.''
Merchants and mechanicks remember the
sayings Of old Bartholomew and never en-
trust the management Of your affairs to an
agent, when you can attend to them more
carefully yourself! Nat. .4drOcGte.
