 iisrni"-iiishe(j scholars unci toachera. In answer t«)*some 
 
 of the many le lers he aMressed to his acquaintantvs, he 
 
 is happy tosnyjie has been much ciicouragi'd and sfr«>ngly 
 
 urged to prosecute the labors connected with such an en- 
 
 t'^rprise. The reader is referred to the letter of Uev. C. P. 
 
 Bernan, that veteran educator, now of Mt. Zion, Georgia; 
 
 also to a letter from Dr. N. M. Crawford, President of 
 
 " lercer University, Ga., whose ripe scholarship at»d ext*Mi- 
 
 sive experience in teaching will not be questioned in this 
 
 country. 
 
 It is proper to state that the orthography of Webster has 
 
 been invariably K'^^if^ecl ; /and that in very few instances has 
 
 his pronunciation been n-jeeted. The flat, or Italian soun(i 
 
 of a, A« heard in the word father^ should not be heard in 
 
 the TTOcd crass, mass, gliHt-s, bass, <Scc. In these words I 
 
 > , i 
 
 have given. to'tli6 letter a its short sound, as in mat. This 
 
 > utidoubtedly the ysage amongst us, and it has I he sane 
 
 tion of Walker of London. The flat sound of the letter a 
 
 in these instances is a New England provincialism. 
 
 I had marked the vowel sounds, as well as those of a few 
 
 consonants, as Dr. "VVebster has niarked ihem. But since 
 
 .the mantiscript has been finished, it has been uscerta.; 
 
 iiat the kind of typo suitable to represent these son 
 
 •'UM not be procured. Tiie present edition wjil be gu^.. 
 
 • the pul)lie without the notation of the sound. At the 
 
 earliest possible period, the work will be stereotyped, and 
 
 \ all tho necessary distinctions of sound will bo made; and 
 
 by inspecting the Key to the sounds, page 14, the ini' "' 
 
 gent student will find all that is dei-irable on this sul», . .. 
 
 The teacher or student ^ho may wish to acquaint hiniselt 
 
 more fully wiLh the proper pnmunciation of ai^wwvord, is 
 
 requested to seareh for it in Dr. Webster's. Dictionary.

 given in the ex;ict verbiage of the sacred p;tgi'. The poopl.- 
 of these Cniifedt-rate States of America will not hcneerorth 
 withhold from their school-books, the teachinj^s of the Scrip- 
 tures on this subject. They have no higher law than Holy 
 Writ. It is their standard in religion and morals; and 
 " when the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of 
 the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." I<a. 59: 19 
 
 The names of men and women found in the New Testa- 
 ment, are appended to the bonk; and are pronounced as 
 Walker and Webster have pronounced th€m ; except the 
 word Israel, which is here pronounced Iz' ra el, as it is pro- 
 nounced in Israel Alger's Pronouncing Bible. This pro- 
 nunciation is t-asier of utterance, and is far more euphoni- 
 ous than the sharp hissing sound of the letter .«>•, and it is 
 in conformitv with ijeneral usage. 
 
 It is the object of the Spelting-book to teach orthography 
 and orthoepy ; and the various tables of spelling are so 
 constructed as to condensp into the smallest compass a cor 
 plete system of teaching the elements of the langungi'. 
 However small this book may appear, it may be consid- 
 ered as the most important class-book, not of a purely re- 
 ligious character, which the rising generation of the Souih- 
 rrn Confederacy are destined to use.

 EXTRACTS FEOM WEBSTER'S PRETACE. 
 
 The Plan. — The plan of classification is here extended 
 80 as to compreht'nd every important variety of English 
 vvrirds; aii<l the cUsses are so arranged with suitable di 
 rections for the pronunciation, thst any pupil who shall 
 be nVister of these ELEMENTAKr Taplf.s. will find little 
 difficulty in learning to fjrm and pronounce Mny words 
 that properly belong to our vernacular t**Tigi 
 
 Spkllino and forming words, — " The t^il.les 
 exercises in spelling and forming words, c 
 
m 
 
 > H j: F A C E 
 
 words with the tt'rrninrtli<»na only of their derivation*. 
 
 ' »se tables will answer the important purpose of teach- 
 
 ^' the manner of forming the derivatives, and the distinc- 
 
 n of the parts of speech, and thus anticipate, in some 
 
 i degree, the knowledge of grammar." 
 
 '^ 'XiNCiATioN. — "There area few words in both coiin- 
 l:2iiglandand America, whose pronunciation is nc^t set- 
 tled beyond dispute. In cases of this kind I have leaned 
 to rojrular analogies as furnishinsj the best rule of decision." 
 
 Uniformity of Oktiiooraphy. — ''In orthography there 
 
 f are s<»me classes of words in which usape is n«)t uniform. 
 
 i No two English writers agree on this subject; and, what is 
 
 worse, no K'Xicographc'W is consistent with himself. In ihis 
 
 i branch of English |)hilology, I have adopted, both in this 
 
 • rk and in my Dirtiotiary, that orthography winch is 
 
 ..i.ist simple, and which is now the best authorized. I have 
 
 j pursued the rules which a're held to be legitimate, and 
 
 have rendered all cases of words, falling witliin the rules, 
 
 unift>rm in orthography." 
 
 !Marks of Sounds. * — "In this work, the sounds of the 
 vels in accented syllables are represented by marks or 
 ji. /lilts attached to the letters. This serves to fix the pro- 
 nunciation of words, and to facilitate the acquisition of the 
 language both by fxjreigners and our own children." 
 
 Silent Letters. — " Letters printed in the Italic charac- 
 ters are mute; but by the classilication of words ln'i-e 
 adopted, few of these characters are necessary.'" 
 
 The RKAmNQ lessons. — "These lessons will serve to 
 'tstitute variety for the dull monotony of spelling, and 
 !ow th«; praetieal use of words in signilicaut seiiti nces, and 
 thus enablo the learner the better to understand their true 
 meaning." ISfc^ Teachers should notice this, and not re- 
 quire parents to go to the usele^^s expense of purchasing 
 Northern catch-penny readers No. 1, 2, 3, 4, &;c. ' 
 
 Signification or words. — "It is useful to teach children i 
 
 the sigiiiHcations of \*^rds as sown as they can comprehend ! 
 
 them; but the understanding can hardly keep pace with the j 
 
 j memory, and the minds of children may well be employed '

 tion is not within the reach of their capacities; for wh^;' 
 they do not clearly understand at first, thev will understand 
 as their capacities are enlarged." 
 
 ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS 
 
 IN THE 
 
 The English Alphabet consists of twenty six letters or 
 single characters, the sounds of which are rendered signifi- 
 cant by establishf'd usage. The compounds c/>, sk, th u\w 
 ng, are also used to n'present distinct sounds ; and anothej 
 sound is expressed by si or z ; as in brasier, azure, pro- 
 nounc«*d bra' zhvr^ azli' iir. 
 
 A, E, O are always vowelsk 
 
 I or U are vowels or diphthongs. 
 
 W is also a vowel, except when it begins a word o 
 syllable. 
 
 Y IS either a vowel, a diphthong or a consonant. 
 
 The vowels a, e, i, o, u. y, have regular long and short 
 
 unids, as represf^nted in the Key, page 12; and also oc- 
 isional sounds, which occur more rarely, as may aisr> b' 
 
 en in the Key, where they are all clearly exhibited b\ 
 
 ■rtain cliur.ieters. 
 
 1 i -ound off/ in hfe, when shortened in unaccei 
 
 (1 s\ llablcs, coincide-; nearly with that of e in let ; u 
 , ' j)(ate, desolate, inveteiate. The long e when shoi; 
 {coincides with the short i \\\ pit ; as in ir 
 short sound of i is that of y unaccented at ilic cim.I »4 
 words; as in glory, l>ie short sound of bropd a in Imli. 
 s the same as the short o in holhj^ and of a in wli{tt. 
 ^^ The short sound of oo in poofy is that of u in j 
 '' 00 in wool. ,. 
 
 The short sound of o in nol is somewhat lengthened be 
 lore r, *, th an<l ng ; as in nor, rrosM. broth, b*l>nig. 
 
 The articulatjoiis represented by the cojis«>i,;inr^- are 
 u ulerstood by placing a vowel bef»»re them ii 
 tion, thus : eb, ed, ef, ek, el, em, eii, 4-p, er, « 
 
ANALYSIS f>F SOUNDS. 
 
 Those articulations which %\h«»lly interrupt the voice 
 ; are called clo^e or miite, as eb, ed, og, ek, cp, ot. Those 
 ! which do nut intcrriipl the V(»ico are called s»ini-vo\vcls, 
 I as cf, el, cm, en, er, cs, ev, cz eth. 
 
 T' '.so articulations which are. formed by the lips are 
 i hihials ; as cb, cf, em, ep, ev. 
 
 Dental articulations aie formed by the tongue and teeth, 
 as ed, et, ith. 
 
 Palatil art'culatiori'' are those which are formed by the 
 ton^rue and the palate; as eg, ek, ing. 
 
 Sihilants. — The letters « and z are called sibilant or his- 
 sinij letters. 
 
 B and P represent nearly one and the ^ame articulation, 
 or jointing of the lips; but P represents a closer pressure 
 of the lips. 
 
 D and T stand f >r one and the same articulation, which 
 is the pressure of the tongue against the gum of the upper 
 teeth, but T stands for a closer articulation than I). 
 
 F and V stand for the same articulation, the upper teeth 
 placed on the under-lip ;^it F indleaLos an expulsion "f 
 breath without sound ; V with sound. 
 
 7'A in think and that represent one and the same articu- 
 lation — the former with aspiration, the latter with sound, 
 
 S and Z stand for one and the same articulation, atten- 
 ded with hissing; s without sound z with sound. 
 
 Sh and zh have the*arne distinction as s and z, aspira- 
 ted and vocal ; but zh not occurring in English words, :he 
 
 "Uid is represented by s/, or other letters, as iu futti' 
 
 fcr, azuvf. 
 I N'j represents the articulation of the body of the tongue 
 with the roof of the mouth. In certain words, as in sinn. 
 the articulation is mr)derat(ly close, with a nasal sound ; 
 in other words, as mjingery the pressure is more close, 
 stopping all sound. A closer pressure is rcpresei ' ' 
 Ilk as ill hd'ik. The difference is obvious in hami. 
 bunk, but the articulation is the same in all cases. See 
 section 139. 
 
 B has one sound only, as in b'lte^ and is silent aOer rn, 
 .as in c/i/m'>, ])lumb. 
 
 C has the souid of k before a, o and v, as in cut, cat^ 
 corn. This hard sound of c may be represented nearly by 
 
 •'i letters cmA. But c has also a hard spund like the Iritcrs 
 
ANALYSIS OF SoUNDS. 9 
 
 Ice ; as in cdme, cure, cr. cab. It has the sound of 5 lufore 
 f, i {"lid y, as in cedar, cider, cycle. Il may be considered 
 as mute before k ; as in sick, thick. When it is followed 
 by e or i before another vowel, it unites with e or i to 
 form the sound of sh. Thus, cetaceous, gracious, conscience, 
 are pronounced ce ta' shus, gra' shus, con' shense, 
 
 D has but one sound, as in day, hid. 
 
 F has one s(;nnd only, as in life, fever, except in of in 
 which it has t!ie sound of v. 
 
 G before a, o and v, is a close palatal articulation, as in 
 yave, go, gun; but before e, i and y it has the sound of j. 
 It may be remarked that the sound of g before a, and u 
 is commonly called tlic hard sound ; and the sound before 
 e, i and y is called the soil sound, like that of j. The two 
 hard sounds a^e very dislinctly diflerent in different com- 
 Ijinations; the sound of g in gave is that of gee, as in geese ; 
 the other hard sound is similar to that made by the letters 
 guh, as heard in gun, gust. ^Bee Key, page 12. 
 
 II is a mark of breathing, or aspiration. After r it has 
 no sound ; as in rhetoric. 
 
 I in certain words has the use of y consonant; as in 
 miUion, pronounced millyun. Before r it sometimes lak<-" 
 the sh<>rt sound of ic ; as in sir, bird, dirt,firt. 
 
 J represents a compcmnd sound, that may be expressed 
 y dz/i, as in Joy, jar. 
 
 K has the two distinct hard sounds of c ; tlic first lik« 
 
 "//, as in koran, kind. The second, but more general sound 
 
 >f the letters ke, as in king, kid. kalmia. This sound of k 
 
 s lh{' hard sound of r, which Webster says "may be cali- 
 
 j ed /t." See letter c in his large Dictionary. 
 
 L has ouQ sound only ; as in lame, mill. It is sonrtetimes 
 -ilent before k, as in walk ; before m, as in calm; and be- 
 , as in calf. 
 
 M has only one soimd, as in man, fame. 
 j N has one sound oidy, as in not, sun. It is silent after 
 m, as in hyinn, sobmn. 
 
 P has (»tie sound only; as in pit, h'p. T. fcro .«? it U ^ 
 lent ; as in psalm. 
 
 Q has prreisrly the power of k, but it is always iullowcd 
 by u, sounded like w, as in quesiioii, queer. 
 
 S has its proper sound, as in send, les.^, or the sound 
 z ; as in rise. When it is fallowed by / procediig a V' 
 
-r 
 
 10 ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS. 
 
 it unites with a vowel in forming the sound of sh ; as in 
 omission^ pron'mnced o misk' un, or zh, as in osier, pro- 
 iiounct d o' zhur. 
 
 T has its proper sound, as in turn, at the beginning of 
 words and end of syllal)los. Before ?", followed by anoth- 
 er vowc'ly it unites wih i and forms the sound of sh, as in 
 nation, partial, patience, pronounced fia' shun, par' shut 
 pa' shense. A few exceptions are. when s and nr precede /, i 
 as in bastion, christian, mixtion, are pronoun<rd Ixi.st' unit, i 
 christ' yan, mikst' yun. 
 
 \ has one sound only; as in voicCy live, and is never 
 silent, and never ends a word. 
 
 W before r is silent ; as in wring, wrong. In most words 
 irinning with tuh, the h precedes the w'n\ utterance. Thus 
 i<:n. is pronounced hwen. 
 
 X represents ks, as in 'wax, box ; but is sometimes pro> 
 
 nounced like ^^, as in exart, pronounced egz' act. At the 
 
 beginning of words it is pront)unced like 2:, as in xenonhon. 
 
 7j has its proper sound which is soft like s in his, has. 
 
 I Ch have the sound nearly of tsh. as in child ; or the sound 
 
 ! of /', as in character ; or of sk, as \n machine, chaise. 
 
 Gh ;ire mute in every English word, both in the middle 
 and at the end of words, except in the follov^iug: cough, 
 ck'tvgh, dough, enough, hough, laugh, rough, slnigh, lOugh. 
 trough. These words close with the sound of /,«so that 
 gh may be said not to have their proper sound in any 
 J'^iiirlish word. 
 
 Ph have the sound of/, as in philosophy ; except in 
 StCfihen, pronounced Ste' vcn. 
 
 Sii have one sound only, as in shall. 
 Th have two sounds; aspirate or sharp, as \w thick, thin, 
 both, find the vocal or flat sound, as in thou, this, bathf 
 See Key, page 12. 
 
 Sc have th<5 sound of sk before a, 0, u and r, as in ^^• 
 sculpture, scroll; and the sound of s only before e, i .:, 
 y ; as in scene, sc'ej^ter, science, scyihian. 
 
 DIGRAPHS. 
 
 Two vowels in a syllable, where only one is sommt... .(»,• 
 called fi digraph ; when both are sounded together they 
 are called a diphthong. 
 
 Th<^ pronunciation of the diphthongs oi and vy, is the 
 sa me an d u n i f< ) r-m ; as i n join, joy, il. 
 
ANALYSIS OF SOUNDS. 11 
 
 The pronunciation of the diphthongs o?/. and oiv is the 
 same ijind uniibrm, as in sound, noio. But in the termiiiaT 
 tions ous, oil is not a diphthong and the pronunciation is 
 us; as in pious, ff'orious, various. • 
 
 The diagrams w? and ay, in words of one syllable, and in 
 accented syllables, have the sound of « long. Jn the unac- 
 cented syllables of a few words, the sound of a is nearly 
 or quite lost; as \n certain, curtain, captain. 'J he digraphs 
 uu and aiv have the sound of bioad o, as in /<f'//; ew that 
 o*' u long, as in 7ieio; and fy, unaccented, that of y short, 
 as in vallet/. 
 
 When one vowel of a digraph is pointed or marked, the 
 other has no sound; as in court, road, slow. 
 
 The digraphs ea, ee. ei, io, when not pointed, have, in 
 tliis book, the sound of e long; as in near, meet, seize, grieve. 
 The vowels in Section 143 are exceptions. 
 
 The digraph oa, unless pointed, has the sound of o long, 
 as in boat. Jn a few instances words of disputable pronun 
 elation are distinguished by this mark f. 
 
 Vowels, in words of one syllable, followed by a single 
 conso'iant and e final, are long; as in fate, mete, mute, un- 
 less pointed, as in d ve, (jive. 
 
 The accented syllable of a word is distinguished by the 
 mark ('). 
 
 The double accent (") in such words as 2'>'>'^'-'" ious, am 
 hi" tious, (Section 135,) shows that the subsequent c or t 
 has the scumd of sh. 
 
 The double accent in such words as ryw" ger, clan" gor. 
 (Section 130) shows that ng are pronounced with a close 
 articulation, or like double g in clang gor. 
 
 ACCENT, EMPHASIS, AND CADENCE. 
 
 Accent is a forcible str(^ss of the voice on a letter or sy] 
 I lablc, distiiiguishiiig it from others in the same word 
 ^Trii-n it falls on a vowel, it prolongs the sound, as in glo' 
 
 rif ; when it falls on a, consonjuit, the p'veeeding vowel is 
 1 short, as in hah' it. The gen<'ral rule by which accent is 
 
 rcirulatcd, is that the stress of voice falls on that Ssllab^ 
 I of a word, which renders the articulations most easy to ih' 
 
 speaker and most agreeable to the hearer. By this rub 
 
 the accent of most words have been established by IoDl 
 
 and universal consent.

 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 
 DCTIK8 OF CHILDREN, PARENTS, SERVANTS, AND MASTERS. 
 
 CniLDRBN, obey your parents in the Lord ; for this is 
 right. Honor thy father and mother, (which is the first 
 eommandment with promise,) that it may be well with 
 thee and that thou mayeat live long upon the earth.

 And yb, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath ; 
 but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the 
 Lord. 
 
 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters 
 according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in single- 
 ness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eye-service, 
 as men-pleasors, but as the servants of Christ, doing the 
 will. of God from the heart; with good will doing service 
 as to the Lord and not to men. Knowing that whatso- 
 ever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive 
 of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 
 
 And ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbear- 
 ing threatening; knowing that your 'master also is in 
 heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him."

 " For so is tlie wifl of God, that with well-doing ye may put 
 to silence the ignorance of foolisli men : As free, and not 
 using your liberty, for a cloak of njaliciousness, but as 
 the servants of God.

 SERVANTS, be subject to yovr masters with all frar; not only 
 to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For 
 this is thankworthy, if a man for eonscitnce toward God 
 endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, 
 if, when ye are buffeted for your faults ye shall take it 
 patiently*? But it', when ye do well, and sutler for it, ye 
 shall take it patiently, this is ae<ieptable with God. For 
 even hereunto were ye called."

 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 
 I 
 
 The ten commandments, commonly called the Deca- 
 logue, ARE FOUND IN THE T\yENTIETH CHAPTER OF ExODUS. 
 
 They recognize Slavery, and are of perpetual force, 
 . as follows : 
 
 1. Thou shalt have no other Gods beft^re me. 
 
 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any 
 likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is 
 in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the 
 earth. Thou shalt n(^t bow down thyself to them, nor 
 serve them ; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers, upon the children 
 unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
 me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that 
 love me and keep my command-ments. 
 
 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in 
 vain ; for the Lord will not hold hirfi guiltless that takelh 
 I lis name in vain.

 4. RiMneniber the Sabbath-day to keep it holy. Six days 
 shalfthou labor, and do ail thy worl< ; but the sevenlli 
 aAy is theSabhatli of the Lord thy God : in it thou shalt 
 not do any worlv, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, 
 tliy nian-s( rvant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, 
 nor- thy stranger that is Within thy gates; for in six 
 •days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all 
 that in ^hera is. and rested the seventh day ; wherefore 
 the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day and hallowed it. 
 
 5. Honor thy father and thy mother ; that thy days mny 
 be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth 
 thee. 
 
 6. Thou shalt not kill. 
 
 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 
 
 8. Thou shalt not steal. 
 
 9* Thou shalt not bear fals-^ witness ajjainst thv nei^jhbor. 
 
 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou slialt 
 not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor 
 his nrtaid-servaiit, nor his ox, nor hfs ass, nor anything 
 that is thy neighbor's." 
 
 Slivves are our neighbor's property, as much so as his house..

 In free jrovernments, like the government of the Confede- 
 rate suites of America, the people choose their legisla- 
 tors. We have legislators for each State, who make 
 • laws for the States where they live. The town in which 
 they meet to legislate is called the seat of government. 
 These legislat«jrs, when they assemble to make laws are 
 called the Lei^islature. 
 The people should choose their wisest and best men for 
 
 their legislators. 
 It is the duty of every good citizen to inspect the moral 
 conduct of the men who ofter as legislators at our elec- 
 tions. If the people wish for good laws, they may have 
 them by electing good men. * 
 
 The legislative councils of the Confederate States should 
 feel their dependence, under God, on the will of a free 
 and virtuous people. 
 Our farmers, mechanics and merchants compose the 
 strength of our nation. Let them be wise and virtuous, 
 and watchful of their liberties. Let them trust no man 
 to lerrislate for them, if he lives in the habitual viol^ 
 
 tion of the laws of his country.

 "These things teach and exhort. If any man teach other-'

 words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine 
 which is according to godliness, he is proud, knowi'^g 
 nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, 
 whereof cometh <'nvy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 
 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and des- 
 titute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness. 
 From such withdraw thyself."

 The heathen are those people who worship idols, or who 
 know not the true God. 
 
 Those who enjoy the light of the gospfel, and neglect to

 '^AU mankind are brethren, and descendants of common 
 parents. How unnatural and wicked it is to make war 
 on our brethren, to conquer tht-m, or to plunder them 
 and destroy them !"' So says Dr. Noah Webster in the

 a monument to his memory. Every true Southerner

 Senate originally signified a council <3f elders ; for men, 
 before their minds were perverted and corrupted, com- 
 mitted the public concerns to men of age and experience.

 young men for war." But in modern times the senato- 
 rial dignity is not always connected with age, and expe- 
 rience.

 perty. How much more manly is it to ask for peaches, 
 apples, oranges or melons, than it is to sneak into his 
 orchard and steal them. IIuw must a boy, and much

 Dr. Webster remarks — "Tiie pronunciation of the words 
 in the following table, is marked in different ways by wri- 
 ters on orthoepy. 
 
 1. Natshurc,jointshure^&c., with w long. This is a false 
 notation ; the words neither in England or the United 
 
 ^ States being ever pronounced with u long. 
 
 2. Natshur, jointshur \s\i\i n short. This pronunciation is 
 common in both countries, but not the most elegant. 
 
 3. Nateyur, jointyur. This pronunciation, though a depar- 
 ture from the rules of the language, by prefixing the 
 sound of y to n short, is at present fashionable among 
 elegant speakers. The latest writer limits this anomaly 
 almost wholly to a few words of two syllables.

 The lungs are the organs of respiration. If any substance, 
 except air, is inhaled and comes in contact with the lungs, 
 we instantly cough. This cough is an effort of nature 
 to free the lungs. 
 
 A finger signifies a taker, as does fang. We take or catch 
 things with the fingers, and fowls and rapacious quad- 
 rupeds Sfize other animals with their fangs. 
 
 A pang is a severe pain ; and anguish is violent distress. 
 
 A lecture is a discourse read or pronounced on any subject ; 
 it is a formal reproof. 
 
 Whatever is wrong is a deviation from right, or from the 
 laws of God or man. 
 
 Anger is a tormenting passion and so are envy and jeal- 
 ousy. 
 
 To be doomed to suffer these passions long, would be a 
 severe punishment. 
 
 An anglicism is a peculiar mode of speech among the En- 
 glish. 
 
 Love is an agreeable passion, and is sometimes stronger 
 than death. 
 
 How happy men would be if they would always love what 
 is right and hate what is wrong.

 GEORGE WASHINGTOxV. 
 George Washington was born at Bridge's Creek, West- 
 moreland county, Virginia, on the 2'-^d of February, 1732. 
 Before he was ten years old, he was deprived of the guid- 
 ance and example of an excellent father ; but the judicious 
 economy and prudent affection of his mother provided for 
 him instruction in the useful branches of knowledge, and 
 above all, she trained him to a love of truth, and success- 
 fully cultivated that high moral sense which characterized 
 his actions from his youth. There is no doubt that the 
 goodness and greatness of Washington «re to be ascribed 
 to the careful culture bestowed by his affectionate mother 
 as an instrument under the all-ruling hand of God. 
 
 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 
 "let EVERYMAN WHEREIN HE IS CALLED THEREIN ABIDE 
 
 WITH GOD." — \st Corinthians vii. 
 
 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord 
 hath called every one, so let him walk; and so ordain I 
 in all churches. 
 
 Is any man called, (that is converted,) being circum- 
 cised, let him not become uncircumcised ; is any man 
 calh'd, (that is converted,) in uncircumcision, let him not 
 bo circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircum- 
 cision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments 
 of God. 
 
 Let every man abide in the same calling (that is avocA- 
 ti.n) wherein he was called, (that is converted.) 
 
 Art thou called, (that is converted) being a servant, 
 care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, (by thy 
 lawful owner,) use it rather. 
 
 For he that is calle<l in the Lord, beini^ a servant, is the 
 Lord's free man; likewise he that is called, being free, is j 
 Christ's servant. Ye are bought >*ith a price; be ye not 
 the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein 
 he is called, therein abide with God,

 THE- DUTY OF A GOSPEL MINISTER TOWARDS AGED MEN, AGED 
 WOMEN, YOUNG WOMEN, YOUNG MEN AND SERVANTS. See 
 
 Titus ii : 1—10. 
 
 Speak thou the things which become sound doctrine ; 
 that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in 
 faith, in charity, in patience. 
 
 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as 
 becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much 
 wine, teachers of good things ; 
 
 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to 
 love their husbands, to love their children ; to be discreet, 
 chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own hus- 
 bands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 
 
 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded ; in all 
 things showing thyself* a pattern of good works; in doc- 
 trine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, sound 
 speech that cannot be condemned; 'that he who is of the 
 contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to 
 say of you. 
 
 ExiiORT SERVANTS to be orbedient-to their own masters, 
 and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 
 not purloining; but showing all good fidelity, that they 
 may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things."

 THE BIBLE ON SLAVERY. 
 In the following Bible readings the duty of Christians 
 generally is pointed out briefly; but the duty of wives, 
 husbands, children, fathers and servants are pointed out 
 particularly. 
 
 CoLOSsiANS III : 9 — 12. 
 
 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the 
 old man with his deeds ; and have put on the new man, 
 which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him 
 that created him : where there is neither Greek, v or Jew, 
 circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, 
 bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all. 
 
 Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, 
 bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meek- 
 ness, long suffering, forbearing one another ; if any man 
 have a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you so 
 also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, 
 which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of 
 God rale in your hearts, to the which ye are also called 
 in one body, and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ 
 dwell in you richly in all wisdom f teaching and admon- 
 ishing one another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual 
 songSj singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And 
 
S P E.L-L I N G-B K . 155 
 
 A, K,.Jcc , long; A, B, AC , short — cabe, bar, last, all, what, there, prey, sir, son. 
 
 whatsoever ye do in wc^rd or deed, do all in the nojjie of 
 the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by 
 him. 
 
 Wive? submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as 
 it is fit in the Lord. 
 
 Husbands Igve your wives, and be not bitter against 
 them. 
 
 CiiFLDRKN obey your parents in all things, for this is 
 well-pleasing unto the Lord. 
 
 Fathers provoke not your children to anger, lest they 
 be discouraged. 
 
 Servants obey in all things your masters according to 
 the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers, but in 
 singleness of heart, fearing God ; and whatsoever ye do 
 do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men ; know- 
 ing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the 
 inheritance ; for ye serve the Lord Christ. 
 
 Leviticus XXV : 44 — 40. 
 
 Both thy bondsmen and thy bondsmaids which thou - 
 shalt have shall be of the heathen which are r<:)und about 
 you ; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 
 
 Moreover, of the children of the stranger that d(* sojourn 
 among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families 
 that are with you, which they begat in your land, and they 
 shall be your possession. 
 
 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your chil- 
 dren after you, to inherit them for a possession ; they shall 
 be your bondmen forever. 
 
 Solomon's greai riches. 
 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born 
 in my house; also I had great possessic^n of great and small 
 cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me. — Eccle- 
 siasfes ii : 4 — 7.

 GEN. THOMAS J. JACKSON. 
 
 Gen. T. J. Jackson must ever be re i^ em be red as one of 
 the most eminent Generals who drew his sword in the 
 cause of Southern independence. He wS,s born on the 1st 
 day of January, 1824, in Clarksburg, Harrison county, 
 Virginia. His father, Jonathan Jackson, d'ed in 1827, 
 leaving four children. His son, Thomas Jonathan, who 
 afterwards became such a distinguished soldier, was but 
 three years old at the tiny^ of his father's death. 
 
 Thomas was taken, aftai^^hi^ father's death, to live with 
 an uncle who resided in Lewis county. So soon as he was 
 old enough he began to labor on his uncle's fjirm, and to 
 go to school for three months in the year. With such 
 limited advantages he could only acquire the rudiments of 
 a plain English education. When he was about seventeen 
 years of age he was sent to the West Point Military 
 School. He graduated at this institution, after the regular 
 course, with much distinction. 
 
 On leaving West Point, he entered the military service 
 under Gen. Zaehary Taylor, with the rank of Lieutenant. 
 When Gen. Scott was ordered to Mexico, Jackson joined 
 hiiu at Vera Cruz, and assisted in the capture of Mexico. 
 In* July, 1861, some one said to Gen. Scott " How is it 
 that you cannot take Richmond with sOch a large army, 
 when with so small a force you could take the. great city 
 ot M€?xico ?". •'•' You torget,'' said the General, " that some 
 ot the very men wno helped to take Mexico are now op- 
 posnig my progress to Richmond." As a reward for his 
 gallant services in the Mexican war, young Jackson was 
 honored with the rank of Brevet Major. Very few of 
 thase M'ho began with the same position become more dis- 
 tinguished during this campaign. 
 
 When the Federal Government -declared war. against 
 the Southern States, Major Jackson repaired immediately 
 \o Richmond, where he received a Colonel's commission 
 from Governor Letcher, and was ordered to take command 
 at Harper's Ferry. He arrived there on the 2d of May, ji 
 1861, arid entered upon his duties the following day. His 
 first> active service in the present war was on the 2d of 
 'July, when he engaQi:ed the advance of Gen. Patterson's

 army, and held them in check wiiilst Gen, Johnston, the 
 Southern cornn*^k;r, was niakinnj important dispusjtions 
 of his forces inr^T rear. lie exhibited so much ability 
 on this and other occasions during his first service on the 
 upper Potomac, that -he was promoted to a Brigadier Gen- 
 ■ralship. . % . 
 
 At the first battle of Manassas he fought so bravely and 
 resisted so firndy the etforts of the enemy to drive him 
 back, that the lamented Gen. Bee gave him the name of 
 Stonewall; and by this title i^^'as better known than 
 by his proper initials. At thi^B^ttle, when, another CJen. 
 said to him "They are driving us back; we shall be over- 
 'come." "No, sir;" said Jackson, planting himself firmly, 
 " We'll give them the bayonet." ; 
 
 On the 1st of January, 1B62, after a severe march, in ' 
 which, together with his troops, he endured much suffering, j 
 he drove the enemy from Rornney, in Virginia, where 
 they nvere lodged, and from which place they were com- 
 mitting great depredations on the surrounding country. 
 But perhaps the most brilliant part of his military career ; 
 was that of the summer of the same year. In less than [ 
 thirty days he fought and conquered no less than four 
 Generals of the United States army. Enc<juntering Fre- 
 mont west of Staunton he soon drove him back, and with- ! 
 out stopping to rest, swept down the valley and compelled ' 
 Banks to fly across the Potomac. Keturning to th^u])per 
 valley within three weeks, he dealt Fremont a stl^ining i 
 blow at Cross Keys, vanquished Shields in the Luray val- 
 ley, and then, \sii.h almost electric speed, hurled his victo 
 rious forces down the Virginia Central Railroad on the 
 right of McClellan's army, which was then in sight ot j 
 Richmond. lie fought in every important battle in Vir- ! 
 inia, and always with the- greatest success. Cedar Moun- i 
 ;iin. Manassas, Fredericksburg, were the scenes of distin- j 
 - uished services after this brilliant campaign in the valley. ' 
 
 He was struck down by a bullet frorn his own men, 
 
 fired by mistake, on the 3d of May, 18G3, exactly two 
 
 years from the time he had entered the service in this war. 
 
 He died of the combined effects of the wound he received 
 
 ud of pneumonia, on the 17th of May.

 As a patriojt he must ever he loved^d honored bj 
 very 6aiitherrt heart. No one was i40r generous and 
 unselfish. One night, just before the battle of Manassas, 
 he performed guard duty, to give his•^vear^^ soldiers an 
 opportunity for sleeping. The sickness, \^ich w^is one 
 cause of his death, was contracted in conseqlience of pass- 
 inn- a night in the air without tent or covering, having 
 another the cape which Was given to him for his 
 (.)\vn proti'ction. ^^ 
 
 A%a soldier friends ai^Riiemies speak of him in the 
 highest terms., {- ome of Rre victories, though on a much 
 sriialler scale, were as brilliant as any which were won by 
 the celebrated French conqueror. He was remarkable 
 for the rapidity of his movements, for his power of endu- 
 rance, and for* the great confidence with which he always 
 "inspire ii the meu of his, command. 
 
 But his crowning excellence was his piety. Tie was a 
 •nan of great faith. He was much in prayer. He ac- 
 knowledged God in all his ways. When Gen. Lee told him 
 that the great victory at Fredericksburg was due to his 
 hkill and energy, he replied: "(Jen. Lee should give the 
 ulory to God."' His soldiers oh(^\ f.)und him on his knees 
 hi' retired parrs of the; woods. When told that he must 
 die hi said-, "It will be infinite gain to be translated to 
 heaven to be witli Jesus.' Let every Southern youth 
 reinen^er his great and good qualities and endeavor to 
 iuutat^them.
