THE following observations are of the utmost importance; and was I to omit them, my instructions would be very imperfect, as to your conduct in the station in which you are placed.

You will avoid many errors and inconveniences in your domestic establishment, by adopting a regular

E

There can be no prudent economy in your household concerns, without a regular method of conducting them. You will find economy a material assistance in all the private and domestic virtues.
