by a certain coldness in the air which surrounds it. Whenever 

 thou perceivest this change in the air, change thy situation as 

 fast as possible. 



In the same path that ugly yellow flower is found called 

 Jealousy, which I wish thee never to look at. Turn from it 

 as fast as thou canst, for it has the strange quality of tinging 

 the eye that beholds it, a stain that is seldom or never got 

 rid of. 



As thou goest along thou wilt meet many little crooked 

 paths. If thou wouldst go into them, I advise thee as a friend 

 never to attempt it ; for though at the entrance of each is 

 written in large letters, " I AM IN THE RIGHT," yet when thou 

 gettest to the end, in nine cases out of ten thou wilt find the 

 true name to be Perverseness, and that thou hast gone in at 

 the wrong road, which thou wilt never acknowledge. This 

 occasions great dispute, for they can never settle the right or 

 the wrong end of these paths ; it is a source of perpetual 

 differing and sometimes ends in final separation. 



In this garden and near this spot thou wilt find a strong 

 knotty plant called Obstinacy, which bears a hard bitter fruit 

 which never digests, always injures the constitution, and 

 becomes fatal when taken in large quantities. Turn from it, 

 avoid it as thou wouldst the plague. 



Just opposite to this grows the double lovely flower Com- 

 pliance, which though not pleasant to the palate is salutary 

 and sweet when digested, which it is very easily, having the 

 most delicious fruit in the garden. Never be without a sprig 

 of it in thy hand : it will be of great use to thee and often 

 wanted as thou goest along, and thou wilt sorely repent the 

 absence of it. 



All over the garden may be found a useful plant called 

 Economy. It is of a thriving quality ; take a good stock of 

 it as soon as thou goest in : it adorns and enriches at the 

 same time. Many entirely overlook it, some despise it, and 

 others think they shall never want it. It is generally in the 

 hurry and gaiety with which people enter this place that the 

 total want of it is often paid for with bitter repentance : 

 provide thyself and partner with a proper quantity as soon 

 as thou canst. 



When in this place, thou wilt observe as thou passest two 

 or three paths that run one into the other, which deserve thy 

 particular attention, I mean those of Regularity and Exact- 

 ness. They are always to be met with here. Do not think, 

 as many do, that when thou art once entered in thou mayst 

 be careless of thy person and dress. Remember, thy com-
