IN the firft place we will conceive a young
gentleman bereft of every means of fup
|7<nt, ahd having spent his last dollar, and is
tow living on Tick.—A subsistence of course
mu ft be acquired, and without the disgrace of
going to work. Let him follow the follow
ing inftrudions, viz. Saunter about Fox’s
and the Coffee-houfe in the fore part of the
dgy, and hear how trades are going ; in the
afternoon walk round the town i observe the
Mechanicks at work ; introduce a converfa- ;
Cion with each; know for Whom they are at
work, and how long; from which you may
calculate what may be due them. Your bufi
rrefs having progteftVd thus far, enquire and
know certainly, that Major Call is not in town.
This sass being ascertained, you may walk
oat and join the firft croud you fee, enquiic if
Major Call is intoWn? To which some By
flander will anfweiy No. You must then fay,
I wonder when he will be in j I want to fee
him mightily ; there is a little matter between

Would give a body any thing if they we»e to

fhing,
B . S. How much does he owe you ?
P. Why, I don’t know rightly—let me fee
—there is one bond of two bundled and twen
ty-nine pounds, seventeen and eleven pence,
may be.
2?. S. What wi l you take for the bond ?
; P. Why, I don’t know—l’ll trade it cheap
—a good Negro or two, and lome borfes.
B. S. That is too much; I will give you
this horse.
P. Why, that Teems like half ruining me ;
hut asT can’t fee him if you will give ire the
saddle and bridle in, you may have the boiid.
B. S . Well, I want a trad of Cali's land
Which lies dear me,agreed—give me the bond.
P. Wby the bond en’t in town, but I can
have it here by he i orning; let me have the
horse, I’ll go for it.
B. S. Take him.
Thus mounted proceed to the beach, and
101 l about the set ry until you fee a ft ranger
coming. For inftancc, we will fvppofe, one
just arrived with a pair of fine horses, whom
you must addrefi thus, Mr. will you trade
them horses ?
Stranger. Yet.
PupJl VVhat fort U trade will you take ?
f n t
S . What fort of trade ! Why, money or
good land.
P. What’s your price ?
S Why, I d n’t know how money rates
in this country ; but I must h .ve four hundred*
• hard dollars or good land equivalent if I fell
them.
P. Will you take bonds ?
S . No, I want a bit of land or money to
get it with.
P. I’ll trade you Major Cali's bonds—he
owns any ceflions of land, which he always
> gives foi his own bonds.

fay I Ihall have the laud, you may take the
hoifes.
P. Let me fee—l have got one bond for a
hundred and thirteen pounds ten and nine
’ pence; that is a little more than what you alk,
bur you may have the bond for the horftfs.
S. Agreed. Give me the bond, and take
the horses.
P. Why the bond is not about me—l left
! it a little ways in the country, but I can have

Take care, my Pupil, to get the horses in
poftcfiion, and pretend to feud one of them af
ter the bond, and at any event have him put out
• of the fti angei’s view. Which being done,
next go and pawn your £. 229 liorfe to some
* Mechanick who is at woik for a Merchant,
and get an order on the (lore for five pounds
of goods, and promise if you don’t pay the mo

fir ft day’s business being over, regale on your
five pounds; but goto bed early, for to-mor

*• twelve o’clock. t
2291. Well that will do 5 but I must leave
town this afternoon.
Having thus dispatched the gentlemen for
the morning, keep a good look out at eleven
and fee where the croud is gathering,
then mount the best horse you had of the Stran
ger, and proceed to the croud, where you will
probably meet with a brother Chip, who will
add refs you as follows:
Chip . Will you trade tliat horse ?
P. Yes.
C. What will you take in CalPs bond**
P . Why I would take part in Call's
but not all; how much have you got ?
