SECT. CCXXXIII.-A SILLY TRICK OF LAUGHING SOME people have a silly trick of laughing whenever they 1 speak; so that they are always on the grin, and their face are ever distorted. This and a thousand other tricks, such 2 as scratching their heads, twirling their hats, fumbling with their button, playing with their fingers, &c., are acquired from a false modesty at their first outset in life. Being shamefaced in company, they try a variety of ways to keep themselves in countenance: thus, they fall into those awkward habits I have mentioned, which grow upon them, and in time become habitual. EFINITIONS, &c.-Silly trick-foolish way, manner, habit. Define ghing, whenever, grin, distorted, scratching, twirling, fumbling, nefaced, company. Keep themselves in countenance-to remain selfessed, to keep courage up. Define mentioned, grow, in time. SECT. CCXXXV.-GOOD SPELLING.

Where there is but one way of s ing a word, by your spelling it wrong, you will be sur 6 be laughed at. For a woman of a tolerable education w laugh at and despise her lover, if he wrote to her, and 7 words were ill-spelt. Be particularly attentive then to y spelling. Definitions, &c.—Define writing, spelling, essentially. A man of ters-a literary man, a writer of books. Define orthography, author estimation, (esteemed ?) escape, tolerable, (this word properly means, poss to be endured, borne. A tolerable education is therefore one which pe will perhaps bear, put up with, i. e. allow to be just sufficient to escape condemnation of ignorance.) Define despise, lover, words, ill-spelt, the |
