Of arithmetic, so as to dispose at once

call this a good education. And If
YOU add the ability to write pure gram

excellent education. These are the
tools. You can do much with them
They are the foundation, and unless

HOW TO KEEP LENT.

Is this a fast, to keep
The larder leane,
And clcane
From fat Of vealcs and sheep?
Is it to quit the dish
OF flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish:
Is it TO fast an hourc,
Or rag'd to go,
Or show
A downcast look and sOrOrc:
No; tits a fast to dole
Thy shcaf Of wheat
And meat
Unto the hungry soulc.
1t is to fast from strife,
From old debate
And hate;
To circumcisc thy life;
To show a heart gricf-rent,
To starvc thy sin,
Not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent.
