Mr. M. was bred to the profession of the law. He was a fellow smdeni with Mr. Jay, in the oflice of B. Kis sam, Esq. of New-Yo' k. During the revolutionary war he appl ed himse'f to merchandize, and accumulated such a fortune that he is quite inde pendent in his circumstances. In consequence oT this e?sy and agreea ble situation, he is enab'ed to labor in his intellectual field uiihoutintenup lion ; and v wiiatil worthy of remark Hid being recorded to his honor, he sciupulously applies the very consi derable picfhsof his works to chari 'able purposes. Reserving none of the emolument to himself, he, lik a christian and atru,' plsiianthropist, devotes the incoirje of the sale of his co,)y ricrhts, to the relief of such f his fellow creatures as stand m"re i need nf it than himself. One might call such a character another Man of KOSS. From the Charleston Timet.

It is only bjf continued use, nat a speaker learns to express his ideas with precision and soundness, abd to provide at the beginning of a, period for the conclusion of it ; bm to this facility of -speaking, the habit f writing rapidJy contiibu-es in a wondei fnl degree. I would particu larly hnpress this truth upon your mindymy friend,, because I am fully convinced, that any m m's real im portance In his country, will always be in 'a compound ratio of his virtus,"! his knowledge and his eloquence ; without all of which, qualities, littfe real utility can .result from them se parately ; and l am no less persua dedthat a virtuous and knowing man, who has no natural irripeflirnent, may by habit acquire a pei feet eloquence, as certainly as a healthy man, wht has the use of his muscles, may learn to swim or scate." The reason why the truth of these observations isnot generally allowed, will be found in that love of pleasure, which destroy s all desire of excel lence. " Lver present in t.e very lap cf love.
