in a given space of time, than it can possibly allow them to accomplish; but experience will discover that this practice tends to the loss rather than the saving of that valuable article. When one thing treads upon the heels of another, nothing will be done well: the last upon the list will fare the worst, and the race must be run over again, to the fatigue of the weary traveller in his daily round of duty.

But to conclude. After all our attempts at arrangement, seasons will sometimes occur in which we must unavoidably feel overwhelmed by a multiplicity of concerns. Lose, then, no time in beginning, because you know not what to begin with; even the most trifling article upon the list will help to wind up the mind by degrees, and when the task is fairly entered upon, it will

not fail to advance prosperously; for an old saying may be applied upon the present occasion-" Take care of small things, and great things will take care of themselves." Those who are aware of the value of moments, will never be found insensible to that of hours.

THE END.

N. B. This little Fable is an attempt to convey in as short a compass as possible, a clear idea of the character and offices of the Parts of Speech, and to furnish an interesting exercise to those Pupils who have gone through the Etymology and Syntax of English Grammar, by calling forth their explanations of what they have already learned, or providing a test to prove that they have not learned merely by rote.
