at was necessary, nurtured with peculiar care and tenderness in the bosom of parental affection, blessed with the friendship of an extensive acquaintance, and beloved by all my relations. I had enough to attach me to this world. Gay and thoughtless, vain and wild, I looked forward for nothing but pleasure and happiness, but alas! have not my subsequent years taught me that all was visionary? How has the rude blast of misfortunes burst over my head, and had it not been for an overruling Providence, I must have sunk under their pressure. I was taught to see that all my dreams of happiness in this life were chimerical; the efforts we make here are all of them imbecility in themselves and illusive, but religion is perennial. It fortifies the mind to support trouble, elevates the affections of the heart, and its perpetuity has no end.

Every day's experience teaches this whole people that their interests are best promoted by the erection of national houses of industry; that Providence has made them necessarily dependent on no other country for the comforts of life; and that the great secret of national aggrandizement consists in improving their natural advantages, and exploring their own resources.

Here Providence had again signally interfered in my behalf. After deducting the expenses of travelling, the remainder of the abovenamecan emancipation, to merit such a gift, I must receive your donation only as a loan on interest—to be repaid as soon as Providence may enable me to do so. At present, I am opulent in nothing but gratitude, though my language is cold and penurious. B
