Mrs. Neville thanked him for his instructive lesson to her daugh

children, you will ever guard against envy, and every evil disposition; for, if indulged, they are sure to issue in deserved punishment.

D.—Your remark, however, Madam, is most certainly correct, for infallible truth declares to every sin

The young ladies thanked their Mamma for her advice, and assured her, they had not forgotten the observations which she had formerly made on the history of Cain and Abel.
