is perhaps in great measure owing to our education. The first lesson our little masters and misses are taught, is to become blabs and tell-tales: they are bribed to divulge the petty intrigues of the family below stairs to papa and mamma in the parlour, and a doll or an hobby-horse is generally the encouragement of a propensity, which could scarcely be atoned for by a whipping.from Daily Times: Purple Patch: On keeping a secret --William Cowper
