A TOWN bounded by the fca, de
lightfully situated in a remote eaiteni
county, gave birth to Mr„ Belmont,
whose father was a refpeilable merchant,
and bred his Ton to the fame prot'effion.
On the death of his father,, which
happened in Belmonts twenty-fifth year,
hepurfued the exemplary conduit of his
regretted parent, with a perseverance
and zeal which would have graced any
flation. To complete the felicity that
on all sides presented itfelf, from the
unfrerfal eftcem which his known pro
bity never failed to fccure, he paid his
add relies to the daughter of an eminent
farmer of the fame place and soon obtain
ed her hand, with the entire pollclfion
of her heart, though unaccompanied by
any very considerable fortune. Bel
mont’s knowledge was by no means con
fined to his proieflion, having a liberal
and capacious inind, he acquired a degree
of excellence in every accomplifiiment
requifiteto form the complete gentle
man, the intelligent and agreeable com
panion : nor was Mrs. B. less fucccfstul
in cultivating the various graces which
constitute the accomplifhcd woman.—
Happy in the pofieffion of each other,
andblcli with numerous friends,, their
years rolled on through feenes of perpe
tual delight. Two enildren, a son and
a daughter, compleated their felicity.
Amelia, the eldcft, was inftru&cd
principally under their own care ; and
her brother a very fine youth, was pla
ced at a dillant boarding fchool, where
he remained till his thirteenth year.
Amelia was the darling of Mrs. B. whose
perpetual study was, to ennoblchcr im
mature ideas, and place her in the indubi
table path of honor and virtue. Henry
and his filler were, indeed, the delight
of both their parents. The former ha
ving acquired an unusually early know
ledge of navigation, folicitedhis father
to countenance his propenlity for the
sea ; a request with which he at length
teluttantly complied. A brave com
mander,, who afterwards loft his.life in
the Well-Indies, having at this time a
summer rcfidence in the neighborhood,
cheerfully undertook to become his pa
tron, and rated him as a midthipman,
immediately on the commencement of
the war. Amelia every day furrsiihcd
new proofs of an enlarged and a fufeep-
Columbian JFlufeum,
tible mind ; fl,<i not only, excelled in
niuJjic and cbacing, but gave evident to-
JLeuu of ?. taitc for literature, which her
parents cheerfully encouraged. Sheab
liorred the difgufling affectation whiph
too frequently results from a confciouf
nqfs of poileHing uncommon perfonai
charms, which flic very prqperly regar
ded only as important appendages, to
iliofe who poffcls no.other qualification.
She had now attained. her 17th year,
when the female mind is susceptible of
every tender impulse ; and if not pow
; erfully protected by reason, as well as
duty.,.often proves unequal to the talk of
repelling the dangerous attacks of worth
\ less infigniflcants, >vho bpaft of favors

conspiracy, said, that he had supported
an army of 70,000 excellent troops, as
