On the impropriety of indulging grief for the loss of near relations or particular friends. BT SIR JOHN' SINCLAIH. It is impossible not to feel severeli/ on such occasions, and often for a consider able period of time; but to indulge in grief or to give way to despondency, ought not only to be avoided, but is in fact, repre hensible. It does no good to those who are gone, and may do much injury to the living. IVe are not entitled^ indeed, thus to waste the strength and health given us for useful purposes. If it is “« ain’* (as it is universally acknowledged to be) to put an end to our own lives by violent menm, it isecjually sinful to do so, by In dulging grief, and thus slowly destroying that life, whicli ought to he dedicated to promote the hapj>iness of our fellow- creaturcs, and to prepare ourselves for another arul a better world. Besides, we do not know but it may have been fortu nate, for the friend we liave lost, that he has quilted these sublunary scenes. He may now be enjoying the pleasures of e- tcrnity j whereas, if he was young, hr might have fallen into temptatiuns which might have proved fatal to his future peace and happiness in this world, and his eternal felicity hereafter. If he was in middle age, he might have got into a state of health which M ould have rendered his existence, itistead of a blessing, a source of misery to himself and his friends. And if he was advanced in life, death is an event which, as Socrates well re marked,* instead of being a calamity, may prove the greatest good ; for in old age, great evils are to be apprehended— as pain, sickness, decay of sight, dec ay of hearing, perhaps decay of understanding, and the fate of those who have escaped those evils, is not to be lamented. In short, those who bear the loss of their friends with fortitude, or with pi ous resignation to the w’ill of Cod, act P^!'SFutntf.o!"'' a,'’becomes Chris,,ha„ .W ytf JOHN II. DE CARTERET.

She resorted to her husband for an e;xplunation, who had the mortification of not being able to give it to her. She called on her son, who, as he was considered a prodigy it\ College, was much dejected at not being able to solve the meaning of these mys terious letters.
