IN tbis age of innovation, the great an¬ tiquity of any law, eaftom, or initkutton is deemed, by many, a fufficient rea'on for its abrogation. Every thing eld mull give place to that tvhieh is new. I am fo far from acqiielcing in this popular doctrine, that 1 am rather prejudiced in favor of an¬ tiquity, and fnall without heiitation, pre- mile it as a maxim from which it will never be found fafe to depart, That practices and bijtitutions cf long Jianding fiould be carefully examined :rt ail their bearings, before they are made to give luay to fpecidative improvements •which are not fandioned by the tcfl of experience. This rule does not prevent ufeful changes, it only infures caution in their introduction —it does not prohibit neeeffary improve¬ ments, but it wiflies them to be gradual. Its rigid application might not indeed pleafe bally innovators, becaufe it would prove the propriety and wifdom of many ancient prac¬ tices which they have denounced, and de- monllrate that ethers not entirely free from defr-cts are yet far fuperior to thole which are offered in their room. It is not very likely that our forefathers were wrong in all their arrangements, nor is it any calumny on the preient age, notwith¬ standing its fuperior light and affected wif¬ dom, to prefume that in fome of its depar¬ tures from ancient uioge, it hath not been guided by the fonndelt principles of reafon. About a century ago much greater atten¬ tion was paid to the moral and intellectual improvement of youth than to their esterior deportment—the children of the higher ranks were commonly well informed, but they had not facrirlced fufficiently to the graces. A J8UUS ffiflB leaving college with his head full «>f learning, nicely vcrfed in the Greek and Roman languages, acquainted with all the delicacies of his own tongue, capable of wri¬ ting on mod fubje&s with facility and ele¬ gance, was frequently embarrafled on enter¬ ing a room—difconcerted with the molt tri- flmo- civilities and overwhelmed with confu- fion, wheie a pert and ignorant coxcomb ac¬ quitted himfelf with cafe and freedom. This defect was undoubtedly much to be lamented, and a remedy was extremely defe¬ rable. But finely there is no inconfiftency in being moral and polite at the fame time, and confequently in difcarding awkward- nefs, there was no neceffity for difcarding learning and moral wonfi. The precepts of the dancing matter may have their ufes, but our children fhould never be taught to believe that they are more valuable than the virtues themfelves. Yet this has unqueftion- ably become the growing tendency of edu¬ cation tince the publication of Lord Chefter- ficld's letters to his fon—a book containing many (lirewd obiervations on men and man¬ ners, but mixed with the moil inveterate poi- fon. Every per fon muft now facririce to the oraces__every perfon muft become a mailer the fallacy of fome of its rnoft favorite pre¬ cepts in one or two of my papers. In do¬ ing this I (hall not infill upon the nv.re of- fenfive maxims of condnd adcfrefTed bv the noble author to h*s fon, the practice of wjiich would have rendered him the moll confum- mate villain, becaufe they are reprobated by the warmed advocates of the fyllcm. Nor fhall 1 amule my readers with proving by quotations from preceding writer*, how few remarks truly original are to be found in the work. But I fhall confine tnyfelf .tn thofe precepts and observations which have been generally admitted, and which have excited the warmed approbation of thoufands.—- Leaving the hookas it came from the hands of the author, which no parent, who loves his children, will ever allow them to read, I Oiall only quote the abridgement made by a grave divine of the church of L-ngland, who tells us in his preface, that he has ex¬ punged every fentiment which might injure, or prevent the morals of youth. If I am a- ble to fhew, that the book is frill dangerous, notwithstanding its purification, and that its purgator has allowed himfelf to be impofed upon by its mining qualities, I fhall do a fer- vice to virtue, and if I fail the noble author will have no reafbn to ace ufe me of leverity, as I attack him in his bell armor. Before any parent recommend a book to bis chil¬ dren, he fhould molt carefully examine what general impreflion it is ant to leave upon the mind, and if this imprefTmn be not in favor of virtue he may fafely pronounce that book unfit for their perufal, whatever witty r<> marks or even wife and acute obfervations appear in its pages. When a publication teaches us to throw a glofs over our real thoughts and to prefent them only in certain lights and (hades as foits our convenience, or the humor of our company, (\, i\\ w- put it in the hands of our children—(ball we teach them that, habitual deception is meritorious and the only fure method of rlfing in the world ?

Abltracting our minds from the prefent (late of fociety, and viewing man as a rational and accounta¬ ble being with this fyftem laid down for his conduct, it excites our mirth and ridicule, becaufe we could never anticipate its popu¬ larity. "VVe never could fuppofe that a fyf¬ tem of deceit which (huts the heart to all focial enjoyments, and concealing itfelf un¬ der a whited wall, prefents always the fame meretricous fmile, could ever have gained a fingle profelyte. But our laughter is turn¬ ed into mourning, when we find in the world rot one but millions of profelytes to this in- fidious fyttem, and that it is fo far from ex¬ periencing univerfal reprobation, that it meets with the mod cordial reception from all ranks of men. Parents recommend Chefterfield's Letters to the particular and undivided at¬ tention of their children—grave divines fpeak of them with p aife and admiration.

IF the fap U drawn into wooden vcflels, carefliouldbe taken that thev are made offnch * wood as will not give the liquor a bad tade. Some maple fugar has a dt'fagreeable talte, occafioned, as I have been informed, by the fap having been put into tray? made of the white walnut. If the moulds are made of wood, they alfo fhould be made of fome kind of tree that will give no talte. The great- eft part of the maple fugar I have feen, has too fmall a grain ; which is owing to two caufes ; one is, the makers of it do net ute lime or lye, or any thing elfe, to make it granulate ; the other i?, that they boil the fugar too much.—The quantity of lime ne- ceffary to anfwer the purpofe, I cannot ex¬ actly afcertain ; but I fuppofe a heaped fpobnful of flacked lime would be iufficient for about fix gallons of lap. A judicious perfon after a few trials, would be able to fix the due proportion. It may, however, be proper to mention, that if the quantity of lime is too fmall, the fugar will not be fuf- ficientlv grained ; if too much, it will give the fugar a reddifn call. I have before oh- ferved, that I he fugar mould not be boiled fo much as has been the common practice. That, fiom which runs about one forth of its weight in mobiles, in twenty four hours after it is put to drain, I think, has been boiled properly ; perhaps, in three or four weeks afterwafds, it will urn the like quan¬ tity of molaffes, mating the whole of the running about one third the weight of the green fugar. It is probable that thole who have been accuftomed to high boiling, in or- der to get as much fugar as pofEble in the fird procefs, will not approve of this meth¬ od, but perhaps may be better reconciled to it, when they are informed, that if they boil P rot tf Englifh language ; I do can bellow my time better than m moving this molaffes or fyrup with itrong lime wa¬ ter, one third of the latter to two ih'.rds of the molaffes, there is reafon to expefi it will make good fuga/J although not eoual to the nrltfoV.. I thall now proceed to give tome dtiecuoua for the making of maple fogar :—Let vtt the fap that has been collected in one d..y. be fe carry on the bitfinefs to the g eatctt adv*»i. tage, there mould be three kcltie* ul QW r- he fap that has been culkcud in one a.y. >e boiled the day following, Uil tt ftiould crraent, in which cafe the Fug» ouid efs in quantity, and worfe in quality* 1*0
