But though mifchievous, I never was very malicious in my fports. It did i'o happen, though, that I was one'e ovcrperfuaded by one of my companions to godow.u to the 1 nth tots in Appicbury, to rob a watermelon patch. It was at a mifcrablc old fellow's who never gave away one, or I believe I mould not have gone. Our inten¬ tion was to tike one apiece and we thought the)" never would be rnilTed. Well, we got fafc into the gar- i never was more fully convinced cf the truth of the old adage, that " honeiiy's the bed policy'." We might have bought a dozen melons at half the expenfc of the moe and breeches. Or with half the labor of dealing the nmafii, we might have earned ay many melons as wc could both have eaten. We had now nothing but *' Otir la'.'orfjr n<:>- pa'uis, u /Iml our liffcsfor our gatrit." But this was "not the worft of it. Our adventure leaked out, and as ill lack would have it, a parcel of worihlefs rafcals had gone after us, ftole all the melons, and cut up the vines. We were found out as having been to the garden, pilfer¬ ing, and all the cunning of Ned Coke, the lawyer, could not fcreen us. In fine, the fellows who did the mifchief got clear, and we had to pay the damage. But the adventure made a lad¬ ing imprciUon on my mind ! and a thouiand occurrences in lite bring it to mind. When I fee mother", bringing up their daughters to look gay and drefsfme, without inllil'ing into their minds the principles of vir¬ tue ; when I lee more pains taken to iurniih the outfuleof the head with laces and combs, than the in fide with ideas, I cannot help thinking that fotfie doting lover will find to their i'orvow, that \n- flead of a melon, " lie has got no¬ thing but. a Syiwjb*' Parents, lillen to old Robert. The education of your daughters is of the very Jirft importance, not only as it regards their own hap- pincfk, but a* it rcipcets the char- aefcer of our country. Your daugh¬ ters are to be the mothers of the next generation. Can a race of heroes and llatefmen, men of vig¬ orous minds ami ftrong conftini- tions, be produced from a pale, weakly, foftly mother. Such were not the mothers of the Grecian heroes of whom our parfon ufed to tell us. Make your girls put on another petticoat ; this will render them healthy. Wake them rife early in the morn¬ ing ; iliis will give them a rofy cheek. Never learn them muhc till i hey have learned to fpiu.

I heardly withed tue melon patch fairly at topltet. We arrived however at our quuners with the prize.

One thing more as to children. Mothers are apt to be too indul¬ gent. Children are apt to cry i'^c cakes and fwect-meats, and they have not the difcrction to eat on¬ ly what is fuiHcicnt. Now de¬ pend on't that fluffing your' chil¬ dren with good things injures their health, and very greatly af¬ fects their mental perceptions. Don't (larvc your children, but feed them fparingly on light food ; if you with them to improve, give them their breakfaif early 'and make them exerciie.

And there rofe from the duft, even from the Me of Cornea, a man who made himfelt ruler over Gaul : this man neither feared God nor efchewedevil, but drove furioUily over the necks cf all na¬ tions ; yea, his driving was like the driving of Jehu. 1. This mighty captain of war wrote letters to James, the Gov¬ ernor of the Columbians, in this wife, Greeting *—Be it known un¬ to thee, O James, my fpirit is trou¬ bled, even unto death. $t "What is all my power to me, fo long as there is one in the gate, my Majefty ; whofe tall fnips,iike the cedars of Lebanon for multi¬ tude, draw up in array againtt me, on my own borders ? 4. Now therefore as I know thou lovcft and feared me, ?s did thy father Thomas, thou mull join with me to deftroy this people from the face of the earth, 6c their name be no more known among nations. <;. Thou mull neither receive at their hand the goodly ornaments of tapeftry and fine linen, nor the molten devices of brais or copper, ot iron or itcci; nciiner jr. j'Ai\,gu fend them the fir tree, nor the oak, the fine flour, nor the corn, nor in any wife muft thou deal with them, lcil my wrath wax hot with thee, and thou bc feourged with the fword. 6. And the letters picaied James and his privy counfellors, for they loved the king of Gaul, even as thev hated the kino; of Albion \ hovbeit they dare nor publifli the letters to the multitude. 7. Then James the ion of Tho¬ mas fpakc, and faid unto his privy councilors, let us do even more than our mailer commandeth, per- adventure lie will {'mile upon us ; let us now call the Great Sanhedi im together, and I will cry afrcfn un¬ to them with bitter wailing, how the Icing of Albion doth continue grievouily to vex me. king of Gaul doth vex us more folely than he, inai'much as hewa- cetli aclual war affainft the 1 hiich'cn of Columbians with, their decrees which are done away, will ye not that they are as unalterable, even as the laws of the Medes and Per- ;-> iians r 9. But Gaul have we loved and Albion have we hated.] 10. And a decree {hall bc fcnt forth that our (hips (hall not de¬ part from our coail, and we will get us a fcore and five thouiand and one men of valor, yea, a migh¬ ty holt, of fuch as draw the fword, and we will fay unto the men of great poflellions among us—corne now, lend us of thy goods, even e- leven millions of pieces of gh cr, and we will repay thee again, with the ufury alio will we repay thee. 11. And wc will make 3 league with the king of Gaul, and wage war v ith the 'king or Albion, and take his fenced cities near our bor¬ ders, and help the king of Gaul to deftroy him, as he hath laid : Then ihall we be one people and one fa¬ mily with a great nation. 12.
