as well as to ourselves.

RULE X. When _ing_ or _ish_ is added to words ending in silent
_e_, the _e_ is almost always omitted; as, _place, placing; lodge,
lodging; slave, slavish; prude, prudish_.

_False Orthography_.--Labor and expense are lost upon a droneish
spirit.--An obligeing and humble disposition, is totally unconnected
with a servile and cringeing humor.

Conscience anticipateing time,
Already rues th' unacted crime.
One self-approveing hour, whole years outweighs
Of stupid starers, and of loud huzzas.

RULE XI. Compound words are generally spelled in the same manner as the
simple words of which they are compounded; as, _glasshouse, skylight,
thereby, hereafter_. Many words ending in double _l_, are exceptions to
this rule; as, _already, welfare, wilful, fulfil_; and also the words,
_wherever, christmas, lammas, &c_.

_False Orthography_.--The Jew's pasover was instituted in A.M.
2513.--They salute one another by touching their forheads.--That
which is some times expedient, is not allways so.

Then, in the scale of reasoning life 'tis plain,
There must be, somwhere, such a rank as man.
Till hymen brought his lov-delighted hour,
There dwelt no joy in Eden's rosy bower.
The head reclined, the loosened hair,
The limbs relaxed, the mournful air:--
See, he looks up; a wofull smile
Lightens his wo-worn cheek awhile.
