LACON; OR MANY THINGS IN FEW 



WORDS. 



Tlie man whoso wonl can always bo depcniled 

 upon, is sure to bo alwiiys honored. 



There is nothiiii; tnoro worthy of a man than 

 truth ; nothing makes hitii feel so dotiiiicablc us 

 a lie. 



Men often act lies without speakiii-; them. All 

 felse appearances are lies. All .shutlliiig and pre- 

 varication arc lies. 



A habit of lying in small things leads on to a 

 habit of lying in great ; and then a man is wholly 

 detestable. 



Want of punctuality is lying. 



Since custom is the powerful magistrate of 

 man's life, let man, by all means, endeavor to ob- 

 tain goai customs. 



To inure young |)ersons to bear patiently small 

 injuries, is a capital branch of education ; nothing 

 tends inor>^ effectually to secure them against great 

 injuries. 



A man who gives his children habits of truth, 

 industry, and frugality, provides for them better 

 than by giving them a stock of money. 



He that follows his recreation instead of his 

 busines.s, shall in a little time have no business to 

 follow. 



Be not tem()tcd to purchase any unnecessary 

 article by its apparent cheapness. 



If your means will allow it, do not buy in very 

 small quantities, articles in constant family use, 

 and which are not perishable. 



Provisions are cheap or dear according to sea- 

 sons. A sensible man will allow nothing for lux- 

 ries, unless bis income be beyond the reach of ac- 

 cident. 



Copper vessels sliould be kept properly tinned. 

 Be particular not to put by any vegetable liquid 

 in saucepans of this description. 



Some of the leading principles in Domestic 

 Economy may be comprised in few words. For 

 instance : — 



Heady money procures the best market. 



Keep a minute account of every outlay, how- 

 ever trifling. 



Rapid Travelling A traveller on a miserably 



lean steed, was hailed by a Yankee, who was 

 hoeing his pumpkins by the roadside. — " Hallo, 

 friend," said the farmer, " where are you bound?" 

 " I'm going out to .settle in the western country," 

 replied the other. " Well, get off and straddle 

 this here pumpkin vine, — it will grow and carry 

 yon faster than ihat-ere beast."

.Anecdote. — During the late cold weather, one of 

 the gentlemen of Boston, who was engaged in vi- 

 siting the poor, and sujiplying their want.s. entered 

 one of the cellars in Broad-street, which was oc- 

 cupied by an Irish family. In one corner of the 

 room there was an old straw bed, in which was a 

 little hoy, whom the mother was covering with 

 some rugs, on the top of wliicli, she placed an 

 olil door. " Molhcr," said the boy, " how do poor 

 folks make out this cold weather, who havo no 

 doors to lay on their bed ? " — Salem Observer.

 shoes. There is a chocolate manufactory in Lynn, 

 which makes si.xty tons of chocolate in a year. 

 The Lynn fishermen at this time bring in 6000 

 pounds of fish daily. 



Locke on Cards. — To a spectator of a card table, 

 the insipid conversation of whist i)laycrs is man- 

 ifest, proverbial and disgusting. The following 

 anecdote is related in the recently published life 

 of John Locke, and illustrates the feeling which 

 probably is experienced by most persons who are 

 mere lookers-on of the game : — 



One day three or four noblemen, the Duke of 

 Buckingham, Lord Ilalifa.v, and others, came into 

 Lord Ashley's, where the pbilosopherthen resided. 

 After some compliments, cards were introduced, 

 before scarcely any conversation had passed be- 

 tween them. Mr Locke looked on for some time 

 while they were at play, and then, taking his pock- 

 et book, began to write with great attention. At 

 length one of them had the curiosity to ask him 

 what he was writing. " My lord," said he, " 1 am 

 endeavoring to profit, as fur as I am able, in your 

 company ; for, having waited with impatience for 

 the honor of being in an assembly of the greatest 

 geniuses of the age, and having at length obtain- 

 ed this good fortune, I thought I could not do bet- 

 ter than write down your conversation ; and, in- 

 deed, I have set down the substance of what has 

 been said this hour or two." Mr Lorkc had no 

 occasion to read much of what he hud written ; 

 those noble jiersons saw the ridicule, and endeav- 

 ored to ini|>rove the jest; for, instantly quitting 

 their play, they entered into rational conversation, 

 and spent the remainder of the evening in a man- 

 ner suitable to their character. 



The citizens of Vermont continue zealous in
