SHAKESI’EAR.
Plutarch may bedyled a Reu
bens in depicturing the features
of character. Hedilineates with
peifpicuity and txaffitude, and
vhen he bellows the language
of ru'ogy, so lofty arc the (trains
of h s panegyric, that we refleff
upon his hero with mingled fur
j rize and veneration. Fictiti
ous characters have often intro
duced, and with much luctefs by
lome ingenious writers, to latyr
ize human folly ; and although
my lids alpiring efforts may fail
to tftrff the desired end, Hill 1
nu ll obfeive though with regret,
that 1 believe my c'n.traffefs are
not the mere creature of imagi
nation.
And to commence with Pru
dentia. She profeifes to be
punffiiioufiy religious, ar.d is
cunlequently uniform in her at
tendance at placasof public wor
ftnp. For tier conduit in this
refpeff foe highly merits relpeff
;v and approbation, if itie performs
her duty with sincerity, which
Jo me ill-natured persons have
been plealed to dispute/ But
Prudentia has unfortunately cul
tivated a refined delicacy of feel
injg, upon which, certain founds,
ti nt produce no effect on the or
g tbs offense in common persons
operate like an electric fho:k,
ar.d fur a while annihilate the fa
culLies ot life. For example a
pious miniilcr, to whom Pruden
tial was once an auditrefs, bcoan
to demonstrate the finfulnefs and
the vanity of indulging carnal
appetite, and as loon as he ex
pitiled his design, the petrified
Prudentia fell hfelefs upon the
rl >or, And on another occalion,
v hen a getuieman observed that
a lady ot her acquaintance had
bdloiated a member, lhe affu.il
|v funk to the earth, with lhame
and vexation.
From the llrange coriduff of
P.udtr.iia, the gentleman could
deduce no other concluiion, than
that she would feign have had
him disbelieve that woman were
formed of component parts, cal
led joint and limbs, connected
together.
Prudentia is fond of recount
ing the conquests which her
charms haveaheady aCsomplifh
cd, while her friends are induced
from the ravages, which thole
inveterate foes to beauty, years
have made upon them, to doubt
if they will ever effect another.
Clarissa profcfffs to be ex
tremely ingenious and so amply
evincis the truth ofher prof ie til
on, that li e is otten heard pro
ving her extreme candor by ex
patiating on me tl-qualiiies, e
vrn or her de uclt friends. She
la l emsthemisf mine of a young
ft ilow, who has j,n't been united
in w i look to i. t, .her intimate
ct> u; anion, and c ladnilv allured

for the poor Tri to conceal her
knowledge of the sass.
Pru l -ntia would feign have
jad to believe, wtut everv one
jknew t * be sane, and Clarifia
under r n e cloak ot pity, an 1 the
male of can or, pierces reputa
tion with arrows barbed in the
molt fac.il venom. The pro
found argumentatift LoConius
undertakes and Hrenuoufly ex
erts h s faculty to (hew, that
corporal p.tin is more afffffive,
than mental anguilh. He fays,
chat however rntenfely the mind
inav be wrapt in the profundity
of reflection, t o founds of melo
dious music, floating through
aether, b true upon the pinions
of the wisting zepuyri oi.l arrest
r iie attention, and that ihe plea
sures imparted to sense will de
ftrov the continuance of chouu.hr.
And v.Hen engaged in a logical
dil'putation wnh the fame Pru
dentia wall whom I have been
(peaking, he warmly contends
that if Ihrwas allfliffed wicn men
tal distress he would unde rake
to banish the remembrance of
her intelieffual grief, Amply with
the aid of a blacksmith’s anvil
completely heated.
Prudentia reminds Lodonius
of the philosopher Citophilus,
who pretended to uncommon
flcicifm and censured the indul
gence of grief under the prtffure
of calamity, but (till gave am
ple vent to his own tears, when
the fiat of irrefiflable destiny,
called upon him to support the
deprivation of a beloved Son.
“ But time with his healing in
fluence,” replies Lodonius,
“ mollified and cured his anguilh
—he lived to cress a monument
to Time, and in cribed upon it
their words—“ He, who cuietlj
furrow.” With regard to men
tal pain, the balsam of years,
nay months is an infalliable cure;
whereas until the heated anvil
was removed which occafiuned
your corporal pain, you would
neither think or io any thing
die, but shriek with the torturing
or bodily pain, which continued
would consume, and soon de
flroy the springs of life.” Now
the object of Lodonios is ro vex
and ridicule Prudentia, while
Ec denounces him as an incou
rageable debauchee, and an elab
orate sophist.
Caultic, an apothecary, im
pricates the iniquitous piaffice
of vending drugs at an im.node
rate price, while'he is charging
a buyer double the value of his
purchase.
Mince, a grocer is astonished
at th t bad weight which many of
his brethren in trade give their
customers, while he meaiures out
his own commodities with hol
low pound weights ; and quan
tum curtier liquors, while he
hands a pint of adulterated bran
dy to an expefftant buyer.
Thus ate all ready to disco
ver, and to ceofure the faults of
others, and llill continue to prac
tice, what they continue to
condemn.
It may be taken as a rule which
will prove gencrilly tenable, that
when we hear any one declaim
very violently againit a particu
lar fault, that very person ‘has
been guilty himfelf of praffifing
it.
If all men would endeavor to
be, what they w sh the world to
think them, human nature would
not be perverted by luch a train
of immoral evils ; evils, which
pally the energies of virtue, and
debate humanity- Was this a
principle of conduff generally,
mankind would unite in their ef
forts to, excel, in deierving, and
though desirous to atcam emi
nence, covetoufneis would be
but leldom the inmate of the
human bread.
Envy is an emotion of the hu
man mind, which like the un
grateful cockatrice, flings the
bofoni that cherishes it. It
springs fro n a belief, that err
ain qualities; or certain pro
perties in their n-uure ornamen
jtal or clrfirable, are poffelTed bv J
ianot: er in a luper or degree.— >
fft covtts the ow.ier of Ins pof
feflion, and would plan e hm
into the Abvfs of humility, and
infignificance. But a laudable
desire to emulate true magnani
mity and genuine worth is an am
bition to equal a lurpafs that
whi r h is -denied, and noc to de
prive the poiieffor of thole qual
nes, which produce admirat'on.
