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 a urge t.iclc, that lhe hid lone I Hiore known of t e Hip, th u 1 1 i . a hail made, but that file I ba.. Dccu in.ui.cd bv Ter regard! 4 w 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.
