l ua THE
PHILANTHROPIST, tic.
I :#• .
ALL MEN ARE EQUAL.
“SOHO! What ihe plague have we
got here now } nil men equal / AH men
equal ! ! ! What, my Ovcrfeer equal to
tm ! Here’s a pritty love powdtr for us
trnly. An arrant dok of Jacobinifm I’ll •
warrant it, fudicientto poilon the nation.’
This is juit what 1 apprehend ; for
feme gentlemen, the moment they hear
mention o f equality, fancy they fee a host
of hungry fans-t ulottes in full march for
desolation, equaling all property, leveling all
diftinriions, knocking dow n kings, clap
ping up beggars, and waving the tri-co
loured flag cf anarchy, confufion, and
wretebednefs, over the ruins of happiness
and order.
From such equality, good Lord, deliver
us! Bur Ihe equalny now in qneftion i# as
’ ftom Jhat, as is a spirit of heaven
fr nu a goblin damn’d.
' Fiv of mutual dqptntLrce, of!
civil obligation, ol Jecial affeflitm, of dutiful
obeiifcttce to the laws, and of harmonious
co-exertion-to make ourselves and our
country happy.
When 1 fay that {til men are equal, I
allude not to the endowments of mind or
body. For, whether we confider the size,
flrength, and a&ivity of the former, or,
the wi», memory, and other faculties of
£hc latter, there is certainly 4 surprising
inequality among men.
As to fixe, some are dwarfs, * mere pig
mies, hardly a match for cranes, while
orhers the giants sons of earth lift their
mighty forms, terrible to look on.
As to strength, some are so very feeble,
that the weight of a grasshopper is bur
thenlome, while others, like Sampson
among the Hebrews, or Peter Francil'coJ
among ourselves, possess a degree of bodily •
force that is truly aftonifhiog.
I* As to activity, some T6»r»s- Pw ift footed ,
as the roe buck, can bound acrols the
fields with the motion of the winds,
scarcely injuring the tender grass in their
rapid course ; while others snail flow in
progress, can scarcely drag their torpid
1 limbs along.
As t ohealth, (ome, bleft with constitu
tions of steel, hardly know what sickness
means, as was the case of a Mrs. Blacke
ney, an English ladv, who on her death
bed declared, that during a life of 80 years,
flie had never felt even a pain of the head,
while others enervated by sloth and strong
tea, can seldom get through a whole day
without making dreadful complaints.
And as to long life , millions return to
the dust almoftas soon as they are awaken
ed out of it; while others like fuperanu
i ated ftrulbrugs, live till they are quite tir
, ed of living: Witness Thomas Parr, an
I old Englifli plooghman, who lived to fee
ten kings and queens rife and fall from
I the throne of England ! Such bubbles are
kings, comparrd to cheerful labourers. He
died, aged 153 years. Old Henry Jen
kins, (of Bolton, England,) went a good
way beyond Parr, for he lived 169 years
both of these vetrans were honest, tempe
rate, hard working, poor men.
As to beauty, some have so much of
heaven in their looks, that a fingleglance is
enough to ele&rifv, with delight every
nerve in our frames, and to throw our
leaping hearts into the sweetest palpitaion;
* Ofdwarftthere have beennumber*; bntßaby,
the little Frenchman, born in 1741, it the most re
markable. At hit birth he weighed but a pound and a
quarter, and was for some time rocked in a large flip
per b% way of cradle. x Whenfull grown he was just
29 inches tall, healthy, handsome and well propor
tioned. At 22 he died of old age.
+ At to giants, both Ireland and Patagonia have
produced a great many, y f 8, and 9 feet high; but
Goliah of Gath out gianted all thel'e by far; for he
measured upwards of 11 feet straight rabbit.
£ This extraordinary man, a native Virginian,
hat been known to lift a cannon of 1500 weight, and
tothrowaftout bully over the pales of a garden with
great ease. He wat at the famous battle of the Eutaw
springs, where the gallant Williams who led the host
of Columbia, being knocked down, the British Gre
nadiers endeavoured to dispatch him on the ground.
The Americans defended him with great bravery,
and dreadful was the clalhing of the bayonets over
our prostrate hero. He was soon covered with the
dead bodies of the combattants falling on him; Peter,
being an officer, had no better weapon than a heavy
cutlass, with which, however, he got a blow a piece
at four Grenadiers. Every blow was ready money
to old Charon.
<j For example~Col. Daniel Boon, the fettlerof
Kentucky, who in his flight from the Indians, ran
upwards of 150 jri!erin36hourj,
y I
[iSuhißEß 96.
while others arc so (lightly *oy*fe«d with
this divine magnetism, that they artradt
none of our iron rate, but are at full )i
--bertv to point towards heaven and make
angels their admires.
“ K*en crollVi from our Maker’i harid
“Are b.eilHig'! to aifguile.”
Equally great is the differehce between
different perlons, in the powers and quali
ties of their minds.
As to enrage, some like the war-horse,
rejoice at the found of the trumpet and
plunge with eagernefsinto the tbickeft bat
tle, declaring with the inad-cap kiug of
Sweden, that no muttc equals the whif
fling of bullets; while otheis, like delicate
court ladies, fall into a tremor at the fight
of an unloaded gun.
As to understanding , some are so very
dull that it is a hard matter to teach them
a sum in the rule of three; while others
quickly drink (hallow fountains of
human knowledge, and then boldly strike
eat int<# ocean of the
iwurkm Wrwiefe ot>r great Rittc#h<JuVe, «.t
w hom it was well said by the Vice-Pn.fi
dent of the United States, that, “ though
he never made a world, he came nearer to
it than any other man ever did.”
And witnefstoo our sage Franklin, who,
though brought up a poor Printer’s boy,
soon learned the art to chair the thunder
bolts of heaven, and to bid fierce lightnings
play harmelefsly about our buildings, “ E
ceelo fulmina eripuit] feeptraque tyrannis .”
As to eloquence, some like our famous
Patrick Henry, can led the passions of men
about with as much case as a countryman
calls his pigs after him; while another
hardly has utterance fufticient to declare
his pafiion foPa pretty milk-maid.
As to humanity, one is so tenderhearted,
that like the amiable Dr. Goldlmith, he
can fay to ‘a little captive fly, “go por r
thing, there is surely room enough in this
great world for you and me;” While ano
eheiwMft fHc-kw raw hide of a po< r
Have for breaking a tea cup. *
As to benevolence , this, Hke the nan of
Ross, will fell his elegant pictures and
plate, to assist his diftreftal tenant; while
that, will distress his tenant, felling even
the bed from under his sick wife and
childred, to raise money for gaudy pic
tures and plate.
Thus there appears a most surprising
inequality between men, both iu mind and
body; an enequality almost as great
as that between angels and men, or
between men and children. This inequa
lity is so very striking, that some, when
told that all men are equal, burst out into
a hearty laugh, treating it as a filly French
conceit. Such gentlemen will perhaps
keep up the laugh when they hear that
this inequality among men as individuals ,
is the very cause of their equality as a fa
cial body. That great pKifofopher, Paul
of Tarsus, has explained the (ceming pa
radox in a most beautiful and masterly
manner. He compares the various mem
bers in the human body. “ We have all,
fays he, many members in one body,
some of these occupy a high place, as the
head ; sortie a low, as the feet; some ap
pear to enjoy greater honor; the eve
which fees beautiful obje&s, the ear
which hears sweet founds: while others,
the poor feet, are obliged to plod on the
ground liable to be bruised with stones or
defiled by mud.” But notwithstanding this
apparently great inequality among’ the
members, they have no just cause of pride
or difeontent. The foot has no reafan
to envy theeye, nor the eye toinfult the
foot. They are all equally dependent on
one another, equally necessary to the per
fection of the body, and to each others
welfare. For, what could the eyes do with
out the feet? Or how could the feet do
without the eyes? With the like admira
ble wildom, God has placed together the
members which compose the great body of
society.—Some are rich, some poor,
fame wife, fame ignorant, some strong,
some feeble. These, though seemingly
verv unequal , are Vet perfectly equal, in
their mutual dependence, in their absolute
need of one another. The wife are like
eyes, to fee for the ignorant; the poor
like the feet, to plod ; fame like the head,
to contrive; others like the arms to exe
cute. Some were made to direst \ others
to obey; these to labour with their head,
and those with their hands. None of these
can do without the re(V As in the body,
