industry
In the SIMPLE and abundant supply Of table,
from their own resources, which shall refresh
those who return weary from the held, all
interested. The hoy, who brings his mother the
ire sh vegetables, selects salad which hIs OWE
hand had cultivated, with some portion OF the
pride with which Diocesian pointed TO the cab
bages which he had reared. The daughter who
gathers treasures from the nests of the poultry
that she feeds delights TO tell Of their history,
and to number her young ducks as they swim
forth boldly on the pond The bees whose hives
range near the door, add desert 10 their repAsi,
aud the cows feeding quietly on rich pastures
Weld pure nutriment for the little ones. For
their bread they have "sown, and reaped anu
gathered into barns :" the flesh is from their own
hocks-the fruit and nuts from their own trees.
The children know when the first berries rIpen,
md when the chcsnut will lie in is thorny sheath
in the forest The happy farmer at his iudepen-
dent table need not envy the luxury OF kings.
The active matrou strives TO lessen the ex-
uenses of her husband and 10 increase his gains.
She seeds to market the wealth of her dairy, and
the surplus produce Of her loom. She nslrucIs
her daughters by their diligence to have purse
Of their own, from which 10 furnish the more
delicate parts of their wardrobe, and TO relieve
the poor In tie long evenings of winter, she
plies the needle, or kmiis stockings with them, OF
maintains the quiet music Of the flax wheel, from
whence linen is prepared for the family. She
incires them never TO eat the bread of idlenesS,
and as they have been trained, so will they train
others again for the seeds Of industry are pa
rennal.
The father aud brothers, having recess froT,
their tolls of buster seasons, read aloud, such
books AZ are procured from the public library,
and knowledge thus entering in with industry
and domestic order, forms n haIowed alliance.
The most sheltered corner by the ample Preside.
is reserved for the hoary grand parents, who in
plenty and pous content pass the eve OF Their
well-spent lie.
The sacred hymn and prayer rising daily from
such households, is acceptable to Heaven. To
their humble scenery, some OF our wisest and
most illuS,rious men, rulers of the people, sages
aud Interpreters of the law of God, looked back
tenderly, as their birth place. They loved 10
ack knowledge that ia the industry and discipline
of their early years, was laid the foundation of
their greatness.
