It is impoflible without pity and contempt to hear a youth 'of generous fentiments and warm imagination, de- claring,; in the moment of opennefs and confidence, his defigns and ex. pectations ; becaufe long life is pos- fible, he confiders it as certain, and 1 _ therefore promifes himfelf. all the changes of happinels, and provides grauficatmn for every defire. He is fora time to give kimfelf Wholly to frolic and diverfion, té range the world in fearch of leafure to de- light every eye, and to gaim every heart, and to be celebrated equally for his pleafing levities and folid at- '\ tainments, his drep reflections and fporting repattees. . He then eleyites his views to ho- _bler enjoyments, and finds all the feat» tered excellencies of thie Femele world united in a woman, who prefers his gddrefses to wealih and titles. He is afterwards engage in bulinrels; to diflipate difliculty and overpower oppohuon, to climb by the mere - force of merit, to fame and greatnefs, 'and reward all thefe who counte' » i- ced his rife, or paid due regard to his early excellence. At lafl he w.ll re- tire in peace and honor, contract his views to domefic pleafures, form the mammers of his children Tike him{elF, oblerve how every year expands the beauty of his daughters, and how his fens catch ardor from their father's hiffory, he will give laws to the neipi- borhooil, di€@ate axioms to puflemy, and leave the world an example of wifdom and happinefs. With hopes like thefe, he fallies jocund into life : to litcle purpole i; he told that the condition of humanity admits no pure and unmmgned hap- pinels; that the e¢uberent gaiety \of yoiith ends in poverty or dlfeafe that uncommon qualifications, and con- trarieties of excellence, produce env$ equally with ; evr admiration and fond ne {s n may prom- ife him, be matt marry a wife, like the wives of others, with fome virtue and fome faults, and Be as often dif- , gutted with her vices, as delighted 33 with her elegance; that if be adven- - [0a reece eres e a Rev wk kn e nae Rcc. newr . vee a wick e Serre : to whom a perion once faid : .

His lhmbs feemed rather hardened than enfeebled by years, and bis large harfh features as the unfteady light of the declining fire faintly gleamed upon his face, betrayed a mind whofe native fergti. ty had been matured by the wild fceties and farage babits to which the life of a Virginian forefier had expos ed it. . He appeared to be a man whom nature had wifely ffationed on the extreme boundary of civilization, where the hardhood of his chazf’cer and the firengnh of his frame, had ad- mirably fitted him to erect and guard the qutpotts of fociety, without repi- ning at a lot \which excluded him from all thofe, enjoymencs which make life tolerable to thofe who 'pafs it a- hong. the bufy haunts of men.
