BY WILLIAM COBBETT. 



" I -went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void 

 of understanding : and, lo! it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles 

 covered the face thereof, and the stone-wall thereof was broken down. 

 Then I saw and considered it well : I looked upon it, and received in- 

 struction." Proverbs : Chap. XXIV. Ver. 30.
