And while this flewards mind and time were greatly engroded, in providing all other ueccilary things, the cold came, the fnovv defcended, the bleak winds blew, and the time of freezing ruliied down and furprifed this houfe deftitute of fuel. But Hrewer poor Jircuer had often endu ted the liorm and the cold and Brewer could endure them again. It is rather tootcugi. though fays liiewer to chop ro-duy but Brewer you know I fometimes employ you in pleafent weather, you mud t;!:c the bitter with the

In vain did poor Brewer plead that he thought it not flander to tell how much a mpn takes for the ufe of his tool ; and in the fimplicity of his heart he had told nothing but what was true. Every day in the week, the kind neighbors of Brewer is lint toadvifc him how coft ly is the law that he could not prove his affcrtions he might think it no flander, but the law was nice.
