"Nay, sister! that would be still more than

your former allowance. But you shall com"mand."

Having been in the neighbourhood of Middledean, for near two months this last summer, I thought it might be useful to give a plain state of the case, and to shew how much may be done for the good of oneself and others, with a shilling a week, in the course of three months. At the same time I should observe, that the effects of what Mrs. Jones has done, are not confined to Dame Thomson's house, nor yet to the parish school, nor even to the village. It has extended to ALL THE WORLD, FOR FIVE MILES ROUND and the progress of doing better and better was not interrupted between Midsummer and Old Michaelmas Day, when I left that part of the country. By the last letter from Bishop's Wearmouth, dated the 27th of October, 1808, I find that the eldest boy, John, is going apprentice, without any fee, to a very eminent plaisterer at Durham; that two or three respectable families have applied as a favour, for his sister Peggy Thomson, as a dairy maid; and that it is the talk of all that country,

that Mr. Briggs is paying his addresses to Mrs. Jones-and more is said,—that it will not be for the want of the good offices of her younger sister, if the match does not speedily take place.

7th November, 1808.
