That is from -181 6 .to' 1818.

' It will be recollected these .vessels had been cruizing nine months on the coast of Africa, previ ous to the 4h of June. Those vessels must have arrived on the const in Au gust or September, during the rainy, season, and at the most unhealthy sea- son of the : year. r VJien o ttiis is added the habits or sailors, their long iconfinement in the Jships'-and other hardships and exposure incident to nivir siiuiiuoii uunng tne cruize, vnc jlos on boartl ot these vessels should j have-very little weight in settlinc.the .'question of the healthiness or unheal-J thiness of the coast of Afrjca, particu larly as it regards colored people; and none in determining the rjuestion of the healthiness of the present season snd of the countryof Sherbfo.

K Such Js our self-love and the natural desire and inclim tion of the mind for our own safety andcom fort, that we will, even; mechanically, take care of ourselves,' without, any advice on the subject. f V I I am aware tt is not of muc v use to give it, but it is from a very t ifterent consideration than what may r robably be imagined. ' It is not becau1 I con ceive man to be so mucji, but on the contrary so little inclined to "take care of himself," tliat I suppose it to be useless to give the advice, t is not because. I think it unxecessaiit, but because it is not likely that; it will be regarded, I admit' the force )f self- love; and ; own that the incitement from it is powerful that it is irresis tible We turn from the appearance of present danger, and endeavor to avid whatever presents t oun senses j the'prospecf of immediate injury. But5! we are frequently, perhaps geherany, too-insensible to tbe dangers which are to be apprehended from distant objects. , Man is too much occupied with' present gratifications. . to allow himself time to refiect upon thrir pro bable future , consequence. He tiur-. ries on, careless ami inattentive,., the dupe of his own passions, and the vic tim of his own heedlessness. Thus, the exclamation of ', the-wise' man is applicable to many who dnf not, per haps, think of it, " Rejoice, (J young man. in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer theej in the days of thy youth j and walkjin the ways ' of. thy heart, and in the: sight of thine eyes," but a fearful consecution is annexed, And tlfhugh nen niay- imagine themselves to be fully capable of, and sufiic'iently incineo to taKe care oi tnems elves, 99 they frequently i follow in the course that rtreir prissinns lead, regardless of the warning voice ot reason,, and the frequ e ntly reitera t ed call s.of con sci ence, until they are overwhelm ed with tlie bitter consequences 5f tUeir owii pride negligence and fol ly, ''', t r Mark the' drunlcarit' Behold him staggering" .to.
