Say, ha* this story ;— ct Bring in the country, I had an exam¬ ple of one cf these small losses, which a family is exposed to through negligence. From the want of a latchet of fnall va¬ lue, the wicket of a barn-yard, looking to the fields, was often left open ; every one who went through drew the dour to; but having no means to fasten it, i; re¬ mained flapping ; the poultry escaped, and were lost. One day a fine pig got out. and r2n into the wo» ds Immedi. dener, the cook, the dairy-maid, all run to recover *be swine. The gardener got sight of him first, and jumping over a ditch to stop him, be sprained his ancle, and was confined a fortnight to the house. The cook, on her return, found all the linen sht had left to dry by the fire, b *.rn- ed ; and tke dairy-maid having run off be¬ fore she had tied up :he cows, one of them broke the leg of a colt in the stable. The gardener's lost time was worth twenty crowns, valuing bis pain at nothing : the linen burned, and the colt spoiled were ;.vorth as much more. Here is a loss of forty crowns, and much pain, trouble, vexation, and inconveniencet for the want of a latch which would not cost three¬ pence, and this loss, through careless ne¬ glect, falls on a family little able to sup¬ port it."
