32 ON THE DAIRY. 



lumn. Plant the germ of truth in the infant understandings of 

 your children — save, stint, spare, scrape, — do any thing but 

 steal, — in order to nourish that growth ; and it is little, nothing 

 to say, that it will flourish when your grave stones, crumbled in- 

 to dust, shall mingle with the dust they covered — it will flourish, 

 when that overarching heaven shall pass away like a scroll, and 

 the eternal sun, which lightens it, shall set in blood !
