"An Act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies ©f Maps f Charts and Books, to the Authors and Proprietors of such copiei, during the times therein mentioned. CHARLES A.

CONSIDERING the variety of Spelling Books already before the publick, some apology may be expected for at- tempting to add this to their number ; but, as the author does not intend at this time to investigate the merits, or enumerate the defects, of those now in use, he ha? only to state, that, from a considerable experience in teach- ing, he has observed several inconveniences in the use of all with which he has been acquainted ; and that, to obviate these, and to present the publick with an Elementary Work, at once copious^ comprehensive, perspicuous, and systeoiatick, he has been induced to make the following compilation. The plan of the woik, it is believed, is entirely new, and from observation, the author is led to conclude, that it is the most simple and natural method that has been adopted. In the execution, no pains have been spared to render the performance complete. The mode of pronunciation is such, that the sounds of all the vowels, accented, and unaccented, are given with as much precision as they could be by Walker's meth- od. In selecting the reading lessons, the author has consid- ered that the book is for childien, and has chosen such subjects and language, as he thinks best adapted to their capacities. Schools are already well furnished with reading books suited t© the use of the more advanced PREFACE. pupils, for which reason, lessons in difficult reading have been avoided, that the work may be better fitted for the use of those, for whose benefit it is particularly designed. To adapt the work to the convenience of reading in classes (the more customary mode of reading in primary schools) the lessons are given in short sentences or verses, mid one half of each page is occupied with reading and ©ne half with spelling lessons ) thus/orming as much contin- uity in each, as would be, were they in separate volames 5 and thus is obviated a considerable inconvenience experi- enced from detached lessons scattered throughout the book. One or two entire pages of reading have been inserted between most of the different grades of spelling, with a view to assist scholars in turning to their places. Through the whole it has been the Author's aim to form such an arrangement as might, at the same time, acceler- ate the progress of the learner, and alleviate the teachers task ; and with the most sincere desire for the improve- ment of the rising generation, and for their advancement in virtue, the work is presented to the publick* By their devoted servant, WILLIAM BOLLES. New-London^ Conn. October 1825, EXPLANATORY REMARKS. THE pronunciation of the words in the spelling lessons is pointed out by figures placed over the syllables contain- ing vowel sounds- When no figure or letter is placed over a syllable, the vowel in that syllable is not sounded, When one letter assumes the sound of another, the let- ter representing the assumed sound, is placed over the syllable. The figures or letters placed at the top of a line, show the sound of all the words in that line, unless contradicted by otheis. For the convenience of reference, there is placed at the top of each page, a key of all the sounds occurring in that page. KEY. Figure 1 } represents the sound of a as in fate, 6 as in he. me, i as in pine, e as in no, u as in cube,. Figure 2 represents the st)und of a as in fat, e as in met r i as in pin, o as in not, u as in cub, Figure 3 represents the sound* of a as in hall, o as in nor, u as in full, Figure 4 represents the sound of a as in far, o as in raove^ figure 5 represents the sound of a as in bare. VI ^ C and g in the Roaaan character sound hard, as in call, give ; in the back slope they have their soft sound as in eivily gentle. S bark slope sounds like z. X at the beginning of words, sounds like z, in other situations, when printed in the Roman character, it sounds like ks, in the back slope, likegz. *»*k Ch, Roman, sounds like tsh as in which ; back slope like k, as in chord ; small capitals, like sh, as in wza- chine. Gh when both sounded have usually the sound f. Th in Roman, sound as in thin, in the back slope, as in this. PH when both sounded have the sound /, except inf ?iephew, Stephen, where they have the sound of v. When i, followed by another vowel begins an unaccent- ed syllable, it has the sound of y. When u long ^begins a syllable, or forms one, it has its full sound like yu as in union, pasture* Aw have the sound of a in hall. Ew sound like u. Ow when both sounded, have the sound of ou. * Ui when both pronounced in one syllable sound like wi as in languid* Letters, printed in Italick are silent. When ii end a word, the first has the sound of e long, The ALPHABET. Itt \tk. B. Slope. 0. English. .

Our bodies will die like the beasts, and they will be laid in the grave ; And our flesh, and our bones, will disolve, and mingle with the earth, But our souls are immortal, they will nev- er die. God orders everything, he keeps us alive, and can make us die when he will. He sees us wherever we are, by night, as well as by day. He knows all that we do, of say, or think; there is nothing which he does not know.

Some make their nests in the woods, and others, in the fields, and meadows. Some build on the rails of a fence, while others search for a hole, in the limb of a tree. Some nests are made in thick bushes, and briers ; and others, in houses, barns and chimneys. Some, with much labour peck holes in trees that are dead, and make nests there. Others lay their eggs on the ground, without making any nest at all. Now, boys, if you find any nests, do not rob them of their eggs, nor of their young ones. You may look at the little birds, in the nests, but do not hurt them.

Little boys, who take birds from their nests, soon grow tired of them, and forget to feed them, and then the little birds die; But the old birds do not forget to feed their young ones.

We must ask him to put good thoughts in our minds, and to help us to do better. We must pray that he will bless us, and our parents, and our friends, and give us those things which we need.

For though you are now so young and active, you may have a fall, and break your bones, and be lame, and deformed. And if you live to be old, your hair will become gray, and fall off. You will lose your teeth, and your face will be covered with wrinkles. And you will be very weak, almost like little children.

No, you would want every body to be kind to you, and try to help you. Now it is winter, cold winter ; the ground is covered with snow, and the birds do not sing in the trees. But the days are growing longer, and it will soon be Spring. Spring is come, it is very pleasant, there is no snow upon the ground. The grass begins to grow, and look green, and there are buds on the trees. Now there will be daisies, and cowslips, and a great many pretty flowers. Soon there will be blossoms on the trees , 1 hey will be covered with green leaves . w there are young lambs, and chick- ana ens and gosjmgrs. liie oiras now fill the air with their sweet inusick, while they fly from tree to tree. In the Spring the fanner ploughs his ground and prepares it to receive the seed. He rises early in the morning, and cheer- fully perforffis the labour of the day. When the ground is prepared, he sows ■the "seed, and covers it with soft earth. Gentle showers cause it to spring up ; the warm sun also maketh. it grow. The Spring is past ; now it is Summer ; it is very warm, and the days are long. There will now be ripe fru t ; cherries, and currants, and peaches, and many other kinds. Now there will be roses that smell so sweet, and fine pinks. Hark! what noise is that? itis the mower whetting his scythe. It is hay time, he is going to cut down the grass, and the pretty flowers. 45 Let us go into the field. See, »a part of the grass is already cut down. The men and boys, with their forks, and rakes, are spreading it about. How hard they work ; come, let us help them make the hay. How sweet the hay smells ; when it is quite dry, it must be made into stacks. Hay is for sheep, and cows and horses, to eat, in the winter, when there is no green grass. Now is the time of wheat harvest; the wheat is brown, it is quite ripe. There are the reapers with their sharp sickles, they are come to reap down the wheat, and the rye. When it is dry, it must be taken to the barn, to be threshed. Then it must be sent to the mill, to be ground ; when it is ground, it is called flour. Flour is made into bread, and bread is for us to eat. • Now the summer is over, and the days are not so long as they were. There are few flowers in the fields, and the leaves are falling from-the trees. Autumn is come, and the weather begins, to be cool. The farmer now hastens to gather his crops, to secure them from the cold frost. The spring is past, and the labours of summer and autumn are past. Winter is again come, the weather is cold 3 and now the boys may go to school 46 b6, not, nSr, move ; t&be, tfib, bull. 2 1 2 & 2 1 2 £ 2 £ •'« S ac cu ra c.y sal u ta ry ad mi ral ty act u al ly se ere ta ry char i ta bly ap o plex y stat u'a ry de fi nittf ly al le go ry sub In fta ry dif fi cul ty ad ju tan cy tern po ra ry del i ca cy cas u al ty trib u ta ry - ef fi ca 'o.y com pe ten cy tit u la ry ep i'lep sy con tro ver sy un du la ry ev i dent ly con in ma ey 2 ■ & is & in tri ca cy cop u la tive al i mo ny in ti ma cy e stu a ry an ti mo ny lap id a ry ig no min y mat ri mo ny mil i ta ry mer ce na ry mon i to ry nom in al ly mut u al ly pat ri mo ny ob sti na cy nat ural ly tran si to ry pres i den cy ob du ra cy ter ri to ry sem i na ry pul mo na ry tes ti mo ny sol i ta ry Emma's Lambs. 1 have been looking at the lambs, said Emma, to her papa, one morning, and could not help smiling, though alone, to see them jump about jso. lively.

Go with me then into the yard ; here are two pretty lambs that are twins, their dam is dead, and if you will take good care of them, they shall be yours. Em. I thank you, papa, I will feed them every day. Pa.

I am glad to see you so willing, my child ; Henry will now be as happy as your- self, while you walk together, and call your little lambs by wha tever n ames you please.

The brooks and rivers praise God, as they murmur melodiously among the smooth pebbles. I will praise God with my voice, for I may praise him, though I am but a little child. A few years ago, I was a little infant, and my tongue was dumb within my mouth ; And I did not know the great name of God, for my reason was not come unto me.

The little birds have ceased their warbling, they are at rest on the boughs of the trees. There is no. hum of bees around the hive, or among the sweet flowers. They have done their work, and lie close in their waxen cells. The sheep rest upon their soft fleeces, and their loud bleating, is no more heard among the hills. There is no sound of voices, or of chil- dren at play ; no trampling of busy feet, of people, running to and fro. The noise of the smith's hammer is not heard, nor the harsh sound of the carpen- ter's saw. 53 n& t not, nflr; move; tube, tub, bull 1 1 e 2 12 12 1 2 e £ co me di an di ag o nal c e leb ri tv a e ri al e quiv o cal ce ler i ty" de mo ni ack e mol u ment de bil i ty fe lo ni ous e van ge list de prav i ty he ro ic al e pheni e ris do cil i ty li bra ri an e vent u al du plic i ty me lo di ous e pis co pal fe lie i ty me mo ri al me trop o lis f e ro c i ty lie fa ri ous o rac u lar fru gal i ty no to ri ous phenom e non liu mil i ty o be di ent pro mis cu ous hu man i ty pe nu ri ous re cip ro cal mo bil i ty pre ca ri ous tri ang u lar ne ces sity e gre gi ous tti mult u ous no bil i ty re ga li a vo luptu ous pri or i ty vi ca ri ous ve sic u lar so lid i ty vo lu mm ous sit per flu ous te mer i ty People now rest in quiet on their beds, and the young child sleeps, in the arms of its mother.

So God draweth the curtain of darkness around us, he maketh all things to be hush- ed and still, that his large family may sleep in peace. Labourers spent with toil, and young chil- dren, and every little humming insect, you may sleep, for God watcheth over you. You may sleep, for he never sleeps ; you may close your eyes in safety, for his. eye is always open to protect you. 54 nft, n5t, n5r, mflve; t&be , tub, bfi 1 2 2 2 ■ 2 j | £ 1 ' .4 ' l 4^~ e quiv a lent an nii i ty phi 161 o gy de riv a live com mu ni ty so HI o quy i tin er ant con gru i ty the ol o gy mi mer i cal im mu ni ty pe riph e ry pre $er va tivfc im pu ri ty l 2 l l pre rog a tive im pu ni ty de pop u late pre pos ter ous gra tu i ty di as to le pre par a tiv£ ma tu ri ty co ag u late pro mis cu ous ob scu ri ty e jac u late so lie i tous va cu i ty e pit o me su per la tive 1 2 1 £ e quiv o cate pre die a ment c\\ro nol o gy e lab o rate 12 2 & c\\i rur ge ry e vap o rate de moc ra cy e con o my hy pot e nuse de spon den cy go ol o gy hy per bo le i do! a try ge om e try mo nop o liz© ge og ra phy mo nop o ly zo ol o gy When the darkness is passed away, and the morning beams return, we should begin 'the day with praising God, who hath kopt us through the night.

She always minds what her father and moth- er say to her, and takes pains to remember what they teach her* Her parents like to have her with them, for she does not make a noise, or give them any trouble. They like to talk with her, and teach her, and she listens to all that they say. When she is told of a fault, she tries to avoid it another time. fete, fjt, fill, fir ; mi, mit ; pine, pfa t 55 2 1-2-2 2 2-22 2 e 2 2 a.p pre hen sivc ac a dem ick ac ci den tal ap o plec tick a pos tol ick al i men tal com pre hen sive dis in her it an ti feb rile ar o mat ick en er get ick ac.qui escence dip lo mat ick ev an es cent eon ti nen tal em ble mat ick fun da men tal det ri men tal el e men tal in of fen sivc o ri en tal in de pen dent in ad ver tent in ci den tal mem o ran dum in con sis tent ei> i dem ick math e mat icks in ter mit tent ep i lep tick par e gor ick met a phys ick oc ci den tal ped o bap tist sac ra men tal reminiscence ret ro spec live sym pathet icksem i co Ion sop o rif ick par a lyt ick sem pi ter pal syl lo gis tick dis af fee ted sen ti man tal tin re mit ting in at ten tivc vi tri ol ick She likes to sit by her mother, and learn to sew and to knit. She never slights her work, but takes pains to do it well. If she does any thing wrong, or makes a mistake, she is very sorry. She is always very careful. to keep her work clean. If her hands are dirty, she washes them be- fore she begins her work. She seldom loses her thread, or her. needles, or any thing she works with. She does not stick needles in her sleeve, nor put pins in her mouth. She puts her needles in her needle book, and she has a pincushion for her pins. She takes care of her own clothes, and folds them up very neatly* 06 When she sees a hole in any of her clothes, she mends it, or asks her mother to have it mended. She does not wait till it is very large, for then she knows it would be more work. She does not like to see any thing wasted.^, She never throws away, or burns, crumbs of bread, or peelings of fruit, or small pieces of cloth. For she knows that the chickens, and little birds will eat the crumbs. And she has seen the pigs, feeding on the peelings of fruit. She knows that paper Is made of rags, so she saves them all. As soon as she is old enough, she irons her own clothes and makes her own bed. She likes to feed the chickens, and the young turkeys, and to give them clean water to drink. She likes to work in her little garden, to weed it, and to sow seeds and plant roots in it. She always likes to be busy, and useful, and will do any thing to assist her mother. If all little girls were so good, how much happier they would be. They would give joy to their parents, and comfort to all their friends. Do not be curious to know, what people do not wish to tell you. Do not look at their letters, or what they are writing, unless they give you leave. Do nor listen at doors, or other places, where the people who are talking, do not see you. 57 Flee from sin as thou wouklst from a serpent, for if thou comest near it, it. will bite thee. The teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls ot men. Some boys, one day got a pigeon, that was lame, and its wings being cut, it could not fly- So they put it clown, to be thrown at with a stick, that he who should knock it down should have it. But just as they were going to throw, little Mary came along, and begged them to stop, and said she would buy the bird. How much, said she, must I give for it ? Six cents, said one of the boys. I have but four cents, said Mary ; take all my money ; I do not want the bird ; but do not use it ill. How should we like to be thrown a with sticks, and stones ? The poor birds can feel pain, as well as boys and girls ; And it is not right, for sport, to hurt any of God's creatures ; we should use them with mercy. So they took Mary's money, and gave her the bird. These were cruel boys. 58 ftte, f|t, fill, far ; roe, mk : pine] pin 1 i i l 1 age brief code child eat ache blind comb chyle eel aim bray crow chose e^ch aid bribe chafe co^ch ease bean blithe chain close east beef bride chsse court eaves blow bleat claim change fail both bleach cease chaste feel boat beast cheap cheat free blame breeze cheek cheese feal baize bhght chief cleave foam bathe bright dean clothes faith blaze broach dear cruise Hail board braise day drive flame braid cry door droll forge bleak coal dose drove frame braze coax dream *dry force 1 have seen the \v;ck power ; spreading himself like a green bay tree.

For the arm of the wicked shall be broken ; but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast down ; for the Lord upholdelh him with his hand.

A good scholar always likes to go to school. He will never miss a day when his parents will let him go* He never goes to school with dirty hands* or a dirty face, or long nails. When he is at school he sits, or stands in his own place. He does not take the other scholars 5 things nor put them out of place. When strangers come into the school, he does not stare at them, but minds his study. He never whispers, or pl r ays, in school, for he knows his teacher would not like it. His parents and teacher wants him to learn, and he alw ays tries to please them.

When he does not understand his lessons, he asks his teacher to explain it to him. But he does not interrupt him when he is very busy. When he has a hard lesson, he begins it quick, for he says, the sooner I go about it, the sooner it will be done* He is very kind to all the little scholars, and takes care not to hurt them.

The shade is pleasant, and cool, and the branches, like a curtain, meet over our heads, and shut out the sun. The grass is soft to our feet, and a clear brook washes the roots of the trees. The cattle lie down to sleep in the shade, but we can do what is better, we can praise the God who made us.

Almira was a very thoughtful girl ; she took delight in viewing the beauties of na- ture, and for this purpose, often took a walk near the close of the day. On her return, one fine evening, she was accosted by Jane, who, though younger than herself, was always pleased with Al- mira's company. . After inquiring where she had been, and looking at the lilies she had gathered, Jane requested the pleasure of walking with her, the next day. r«6, nor, nor, move; tube, tub bull, oil, pound. 67 01 broil boil coil coin choise foil groin hoist bound bounce bout brow clown cloud couch cow crowd browse douit down douse ou ou mouth shroud noun slouch now spouse ounce spout a. out sprout proud stout ground pounce south growl pound ou drowse flounce crouch frown gout gown u hood foot good stood wolf wool 30m crowd hound round joist browse louse rouse joint douit how rout loin down house scour moist douse loud scout noise drought lounge shout point drouth mouse Almira did not forget, but having obtained leave, (rather earlier than usual that they might have the more time to converse) pro- ceeded on her walk. Jane had already informed her Mother of what had passed, and made request, that - she, and her little brother, might join Almi- ra in her ramble. Her Mama was very willing, and said, as she was about to go, do not forget, my child, that it is God, who permits you to en- joy so many pleasures. By this time Almira had arrived, and Jane 3 and George were ready to go with her. It was a fine day, and all around seemed to inspire them with delight. Almira and Jane soon began to converse, and little George listened with attention. 68 How pleasant it is, said Jane, to see the earth, decked so gaily, the grass so fresh and green ; and do see the little lambs yon- der, J1L O yes, emblems of innocence, how sweetly they play ; the musick of the birds also affords me much pleasure ; do you not like to hear it? Ja. I do, but I suppose I have never list- ened to it so much as you have. Jll. Indeed, I sometimes rise very early on purpose to hear them ; but I do not say right, I rise because their sweet notes seem to say ; Awake, and give thanks too. The same God that made them, and teach- es them to sing, made us, and takes care of us. J a. And bestows on us many blessings which they never knew. Geo. But how can you say so, sister, I think the birds are very happy, and some- times wish, that, like them, I could skip from bough to bough. Ja. Why, George, they know but very little, they were never taught to read, as we have been. JLL Nor did they ever hear of heaven, but we, if we love the Lord, and obey him, may hope to be happy here, and happy in the world to come. Geo. Now I see the folly of my wishes, I think I shall never, again, desire to be a bird, I would much rather learn to read, and be- come wise. Ja. Have we not yet arrived at the extent of your walk Alinira? m M. Yes ; this is the very place where I gathered the lilies. On the banks of a little rivulet, I admire to sit, among the shrubs, or under the shade of some of these willows. Ja. George j I believe is de __hted by look- ing into the brock ; what do you see George? Geo. Some frogs, and: a great many little fishes ; I wish I had brought my hook and line, I believe I could catch some. Ja. But, put in your hand, and catch some, they will not hurt you. Geo. But they are so shy, and ninaMe, 0al 3 before I can touch them, they dart away. As they walked along the side of the stream, viewing the beauties of nature, and listening to the melody of the birds, Jane be- gan to be very pensive : I have been thinking, said she, that the God who made, and takes care of all these things, must be very great, and very good.

O may we meet in heaven ; we shall then be happy indeed ; we shall never grow weary of admiring the goodness of God. The evening drew on, and they return- ed home ■; little George being so well pleased, that he related the whole story to his papa. ea gie e vil bea con •set. has ten idle Ji vre lu ere me a sles mi tre me tre fibre no ble ni tre o chve i i a gue creat ure ce ruse do tage feat ure fe male fut ure he ro leis ure nat ure rain bow rain deer seiz ure twi light tyro vi brate whole sale nd, nSt, n6r, move ; tube, Pi 2 l 2 1 2~ claim ant Aii mour ph& lanx so journ cease lessbou? sprit plairtness sea man chief tain hy phen plain iW eve ning c ho rus &nav ish peev istt^ neat ne ss fa mous hoarse ness pi rate Sty rant fa your blue ness po rous mi umph fla vour la hour post script tr^mour fragrance larynx powl tice thie\ i«h fore man o dour pay ment f aste\ess fore sight mainmast pavement Ui ma\e fre quent neat ness rai ment li zens6 griev ance light ning ro gwish se quel gui danc^ nuis ance sa chem va pour gno mon ni trous s que am ish yeo man gold finch oak urn sci enee yearling Behold the shepherd of the flock he taketh care for the sheep, he leadeth them among clear brooks, he guideth them to fresh pas- tures.

The productions of the spot will amply repay his labour, while his fancy is employ- ed, and his mind amused, in making the ar- rangement agreeable.

He causeth the seed to sprout, and to put forth the tender blade ; it groweth up- ward, it buddeth, and assumes a new form. 8 4 fate fit, fall, for ; m£, m&t ; pine, pin 2 I 2 2 2 £ 2 3 11 ad vi sa big ac cess i big in cor po rate a gree a big ad mis si big im por tu nate a mena big com bus ti big i i £ u as sign a big com pat i big cri te ri on con ceiv a big com pres si big pe cul i ar con so Ja big con tempt i big su pe ri ouv con troll a big cor rup ti big f 2 & fi im pla ca big con vert i big d*s sim i lar im pu ta big im pos si big ex po* i tor in ca pa big in cred i big ob liv i on im mu ta big in vin ci big 2 1 £ u in cu ra big il leg iblg ex te ri or im peach a big os ten si big in fe ri ur ob tain a big per eept i big in te ri our per ceiv a big re 6 3 not, n6r, m6ve ; ci\be, cub, bflll. 95 2 ~2 J 2 12 2 2 1 f~S £T" ad van ta geous be at Ifick a the is tick apparatus coalescence hydrosta ticks bac c\\an al ian pre existence micro 'scopiek dis a greementre es tab lish predetermine entertainment supercilious 1^22 in ter fe rence sci en tif ick mu ri at Ick sa cer do tal 2 22 2 o ri en tal 2 1 1 2 al ex an drine u ni ver sal an te ce dent ad a man tine e qui dis t ant al ge bra ick convalescent 1 * 1 2 cat e c\\u men e van es cent eu ro pe an in co he rence effervescence hy me ne al in de co raus in ter mit tent lo co mo tiv£ in de co rum in at ten tive 1 2 1 2 mis be haviour fund a men tal di ar rhoe a perseverence interregnum jurisprudence phi lo me la rein forcement Come* litrie children* attend to the admo- nition of your father, and be mindful of the instuction of your mother, Give ear unto theif words, for they are spoken for your good ; remember their ad- vice, for it proceedetn from love. Behold the bee, and the ant, they teach us. industry ; they labour in summer, and lay up a store for whiter The stork attends upon his feeble parent ; convey eth her from danger, and seekethfood for her support. The young foal knoweth its dam, and the lamb its own mother ; even the bear loveth her own whelps, and they imitate her actions with delight. The hen gathereth her chickens under 06 her wings ; she seeketh diligently for their food. Although she cannot speak, her voice is intelligible to their ears ; and for their ben- efit she calleth unto them. But who hath taught the bee, or the ant to labour ? Who hath told them that winter's cold succeeds to summers heat ? Who hath taught the young stork to be careful of its parent ? or the hen to provide for her chickens 1 Who hath taught the bear to love her whelps ? or who hath instructed the horse to know his feeder? It is God ; it is he who feedeth the birds of the air, and decketh the fields with flowers. His goodness is over all his works ; just and true are all his ways ; and will he not teach you, O, ye little children ! Yes, he hath promised that he will teach you ; listen therefore to his commands, and, when you hear, obey.

And so you do not like to spell, Mary, my dear ; O very well ; 'Tis dull and troublesome you say ; And you had rather be at play. Then bring me all your books again :— - Nay ; Mary, why do you complain? For as you do not choose to read, You shall not have your books, indeed. So as you wish to be a dunce, Pray go and fetch me them at once ; For if you will not learn, to spell, ? Ti? vain to think of reading well Now, don't you think, you'll blush to own, When you become a woman grown, Without one good excuse to plead, That you have never learn'd to read ?

Down in a green, and shady bed, A modest vioJet grew ; Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, As if to hide from view. And yet it was a lovely flow'r, Its colours bright and fair : It might have grae'd a rosy bow'r, Instead of hiding there. Yet there it was content to bloom, In modest tints array'd ; And there it spread its sweet perfume, Within the silent shade. Then let me to the valley go, This pretty flow'r to see ; That I may also learn to grow, In sweet humility. 105 THE ORPHAN. My father and mother are dead, No friend or relation I have ; And now the cold earth is their bed, And daisies grow over their grave. I cast mv eyes into the tomb : 1 he sight made me bitterly cry : I said, and is this the dark room, Where my father and mother must lie? I cast my eyes round me again, In hopes some protector to see ; Alas ! but the search was in vain, For none had compassion on me. I cast mv eves up to the skv, I groan'd, though I said not a word ; Yet God was not deaf to my cry ; The friend of the fatherless heard, . O yes, and he graciously siniM, And bid me -on him to depend ; -He whisper'd— fear net, little child, For I am thy father and friend. DE\TH OF VSi i\-'ANT. How solemn did. the moment seem.

See the leaves, around us falling, Dry and withered to the ground ; Thus to thoughtless mortals calling* With a sad and solemn sound. Youth, though yet no losses grieve you* Gay in health and manly grace, Let not cloudless skies deceive you*. Summer gives to autumn place. Yearly in our course recurring, Messengers o shortest stay, Thus we preach this truth unerring, Heav'n and earth shall pass away.

He hated studying all the time, And play'd with every boy he could : His father talk'd, his mother wept, But all did not make Philip good. One time some wicked fellows said, Come, Philip, we are going off, We'll hide till folks are gone to bed, And then we can get fruit enough. Philip agreed to go with them, And so they all went off at night : His parents knew not where he was ; And they were almost wild with fright. 110 it ten o'clock, some men and boys Brought Philip in upon abed : mother caught a hasty look ; He 's dead, she screamed, my child is dead No, said a man, he is not dead, But he has met a heavy stroke ; lie climb'd my wall ; a weighty stone Fell off, and both his legs are broke. The surgeon came and cut them off; Bis friends could give him no relief: His parents mourird their lives away, And sunk, and died with hopeless grief. An almshouse now, was Philip's home, And sad enough, poor boy, he far'd ; Whole nights he lay, and groan'd with pain. But no one knew, and no one car'd. At length, when many a tedious month Had pass'd, they made him wooden legs, And now with crutches for his help, He hobbles round the street, and begs. Sxeo. Where's my hat ? I'll ofi' to school This instant, and you shaVt complain About my playing truant, Ma, Or seeking idle boys again. Explanation of the pauses and other mark:- , A comma, requires that the reader s:op, while he cdVi i pronounce one syllable- ; A se.nicjljn, req nres double the pause of a con rtt. : A colon, requires that the reader stop while be could pi> nounce three syllables- % A pfciod, rimshes a sentence, and rerruires a fall of tu3 voice, and a pause equal to the time of proaoaad four syllables. 1 An interrogation point, is placed after a question } as. Who is thai ? ! An exclamation point, is placed after a wiri or ss:v tence expressing wonder, surprise, joy, or any si i ie u and violent emotion of the mind. These two points, require a pause equal to that of tfia pa« riod, but no fall of the voice. ( ) A parenthesis, includes an occasional reunrk, vluch serves to illustrate the author's meaning, but is not ne- cessary for the grammatical construction of tie sen. tence : — It should be read quicker and with a lower tone of voice* ' An apostrophe, marks the possessive case, as, John's book : or, it denotes a contraction, as us'd for used ; I'll fir '-offl. :i " A quotation includes a passage taken from some oth- er author in i^ oxn words. - A hyphen, shows that the syllables separated by it, bo- long together ; it is used mostly when words are divi- ded at the end of a line- A Fhe caret, is used only in writing ; it shows the place where a letter word, or sentence, omitted by mistake, should be inserted. ' The accent, shows that the greatest stress of voice should be on the syllable ov r which it is placed. — A dash, placed before a quotation, shows that only a part of a sentence is quoted; between letters, it shows that part of the word is omitted, as, K — g for king : at the end of a sentence, it denotes an abrupt pause- fgj" An index, points to a remarkable passage, U" \ paragraph, begins a new subject. *| !
