by allowing an abatement. However, let us
riton to good advice, and something msy be
a- for us; ‘God helps them that help them
lives,’ aa Poor Richard says.
1. It would be thought a hard government
should tax its people one-tenth part of their

disesse, absolutely shortens life. •Sloth, like

"If time be oi all things the roost precious,
