In the ab stract, they embrace the whole round of our existence ; in the detail, all its brightest hopes, its noblest enjoyments, and its most cherished recollections; all its loftiest enterprises, nnd nil its smiles nnd tears ; its pangs of guilt, its virtuous principles, its trials, its sorrows, nnd its rewards. They give you the dawn nnd tlio clone of life; the beginning nnd the end of its countless scene. They nro tho two extremi ties of n path, which, lie it long, or ho it short, no man secs nt one aud tho name moment.— Happy would it be for us, sometimes, if we could if we could behold the end of a course of action as certainly us we do the beginning; hut oftnner, far oftoner, would it ho our curso and torment, unless with the foresight or fore knowledge wo had tlie power to avert the end. But let me not anticipate my own intentions, which are to pourtray in some eight or ten sketches, the links that hold together (lie first and last oftlio must momentous periods and undertakings of our lives ; to trace the duwu, progress nnd decline of many of tho host fee lings utn! motives ofour nnture ; to touch, with a pensive colouring, the contrasts they present!; to aliinulnto honorable enterprises by the ex amples they furnish ; nnd to mnuso by the form in which thejtrulhs they supply are embodied. 1 shall begin with a subject not exactly falling within the legitimateseojio of my design, but it w ill serve ns an appropriate introduction, and I shall call it The First and Last Dinner. Twelve friends, much about the samo age, nnd fixed hy tlieir pursuits, their family connex ions, and other local interests, us permanent inhabitants of the metropolis, agreed one day when they were drinking tlieir wine at the Stur and Garter at Richmond, to institute an annual dinner among themselves, under tlio following regulations! That they should dine alternate ly nt e.-ieh nt lien's houses on the frsl and last day of tho year ; lltnt thoyirsf bottle of wine un corked at u,i.fust dinner, should ho recorked and put away, to be drunk by him who should he the/nil of their number ; that they should never admit n now number; that when one tlied, eleven should meet, aud when another died, ten should meet, and so on; and that when only one remained, he should, on those two days, dmc hy himself, and sit tlie usual hours at his solitary table ; bit*, llio first lime bo so ilined alone, lest it Bhould bo lha only, bo should then uncork the frsl bottle, nnd. iu tho first glass, drink to the memory of all who wero gone. There was something original and whimsic al in the idea, and it was cugcrlv embraced.— They were all in llie prime of life, closely at tached hy reciprocal friendship, fond of social onjoymeuts, and looked forward to their future meetings with unalloyed anticipations of pleas ure. The only thought, iudeed, that could have darkened those anticipations was one not very likely to intrude itself at this moment, that of the hapless wight who was destined to uucork the first bottle at his lonely repast. lt was high io tho summer when this frolic compact was entered into ; nnd ns tbeir pleas ure yacht skimmed along the dark bosom of tlio Thames, on their return to London they talked of nothing but their.first aud last, feasts of ensuing years. Their imaginations ran riot with a thousand gay predictions of festivo merriment. They wantoned in conjectures of what changes time would operate; jokod each other upon their appearance, when they should meet; some hobbling upon crutches af ter a severe fit of the gout,—Olliers poking about with purblind eyes, which oven specta cles could hardly enable to distinguish the al derman’s walk in a haunch of venison—some with portly hellioH nnd tidy litlln brown wigs, and others decently dressed out in a new suit of mourning for tho death of n greal-g-ranil daughter or n great-grand son. I’alsies, wrin kles, toothless gums, stiff hams, nnd poker knpes, were handled ubout in salies of exhulicr- , ant mirth, and appropriated, ns n group of merry children would linvo distributed golden pnlnrcs, Hying chariots, diamond tables, and chairs ofsolid pearl, under the fancied posses sion of a magician’s wand which could transform plain brick, nnd timber, humble mahogany, in to such cosily treasures. ‘ As for you George,’ exclaimed one of the twelve, addressing his brother-in-law, ‘J ex pect 1 shall sec you us dry, wilhored, and shrunken ns an old cel skin, you mere outside of a mnn!’ and ho accompanied the words with a hearty slap nil tlie shoulder. George Fortescue was leaning carolessly over the side of the yacht, laughing the loudest of any nt the conversation which had been car ried on. The sudden manualsalutation of his brother-in-law litre w him off his balance, and in a moment ho was overboard. They beard the heavy splash of his fall, before they could be said to have seen him full. The yacht was proceeding swiftly along; but it was instantly stopped. The utmost consternation now prevailed.— It was nearly dark, hut Fortescue was known to ho nn excellent swimmer, nnd startling us the accident was, theyjfelt certain he would re gain the vessel. They could not see him.— They heard the sound of his bunds nnd feet.— They hailed him. An answer was returned,' but in a faint gurgling voice, nnd tho exclama tion ‘Oh God!’ struck upon their ears. Innn instant two or tlircc, who were expert swim mers, plunged into tho river, and swam to wards the spot whence the exclamation had proceeded. Ono of them was within nn arm’s length of Fortescue ; ho caw him ; he wns struggling and buffoting the water; before he could hn reached, Ire went down, and his dis tracted friend beheld the eddying circles of tho water just over tho spot whero he had sunk.— lie dived alter him, and touched tho bottom; hu< the tide must have drifted the. body on\vards» for it could not lie found ! They proceeded to ono of tho nearest sta tions where drugs were kept, nnd having pro cured the necessary apparatus, they returned to thofatnl spot. After tho lapse of above an hour tney sue ;ecded in rnising the lifeless body of theii tost friend. All tho usual remedies wore employed for restoring suspended anim ation ; but in vain ; nnd they now pursued the remainder of tlieir course to London, in mourn ful silence, with the corpse of him who had commenced the day of pleasure with them in die fulness ol"health, of spirits, nnd of life!— \ mid their severer grief, they could not but re- tlcct bow soon one of the joyous tnelvo had slippedout of the little festivo circle.
