among themselves tney iljuteu o"a oS
troyeti SO few tools, found SO little iauit
with their manner Of living or were on tne
whole so pleasant to one another, and 10 tneir
employer The men appeared more ehah
ever before, like brethren OF the same fami,
ly, satisfied with their business contentea
and happy.

| They are also more serious in church, i'll
reading gmuch oftcner, pcrusc the scriptures
and attend public worship; and they are
attentive to all the means OF grace. In a

5 son that earth, loan, &c. is carted into tn

K pcaceable, are less trouble in the hous
ii and more contented with the manner of Ii,

lg before to stay at home or to spend the da
a in rowing about the fields, rivers, and forest
Sc they choose statedly and punctually to a
