With OECONOMY, a POLITICAL PRINT.

Printed by JOHN EXSHA W, at the Bible, in Dame-freet.

OECONOMY à Political Print.

N this piece is characterised that illI judged Parfimony, which frequently cutshort the blooming hopes of Plans well executed, and Schemes that stagger Men of lefs exalted genius. We here fee the meanly inquifitive Steward, reprehending HONEST WILL (USED TO HAPPIER DAYS) for his PROFUSION, to affift Diftrefs, in the character of a generous animal, whofe appearance, in a lefs callous heart, would have moved compaffion. In WILL is seen that manly concern, which is ever expreffive, in a mind filled with reverence, for a kind MASTER, in whofe fervice he had entered, with the pleafing hope of never leaving, 'till the effects of his kind watchings were ripened, and the LASTING HAPPINESS of his fellow domestics fecured: But from repeated OBSTRUCTIONS in his Department, a refolution. is forced from him, with what oppreffion, the index of his mind declares.

His Companion, lefs able to converfe, retires bore down with disappointment, finding the future good he had in view, and the Schemes he had conceived of reftoring Frugality intirely vanquished; is ftruck into contemplation, and laments the fatal 25th of OCTOBER, 1760, when he was deprived of the BEST of FRIENDS. How heart felt the forrow, when the Boatswain wept!

In the back-ground is seen, an inhofpitable WRETCH, joyous in the hope of feeing the old SERVANTS difmiffed, and the fole MANAGEMENT conferred on
