Neither ia it auy comeqaemte wln> my lather was,uan h less my grand fattier. It :nt tnwu said that in this republican country of ours, any m»t wh.ican gi b ica for three generation* wiiiinot •tumuli./' over a eobb.er’a stonl. is a nobleman —Por tny j»art i think it the height of aristocratic presumption forauv uitn in this country to nave had a grandfather, or at least, if he has ha I one to Its ur anything about him. AnJ yet it dis.i lied to boast of uiy parentage I might, pernips, excite l.ie’etivv of some nf those who plume ihom- selves mast on the gentility of their descent.—What would theytkintif I should tell Mem that my father's chief resi de n-e wss a a able castle, on a in »st delightful aite, called C terry Hill 1 And tint he had another residence in a place ku t*-n by the romantic name of Mo.vamenaing! Thu front of this castle in the latter place, (it'is still standing) is the most beautiful specimen of Gothic in ‘the countrv, with the exception of the .Yew Yura University. But 1 waive all titles to distinction founded on mv illus- trious ancestry. As little am I disposed to boaat'of my education, though 1 received the greater part of tny literary tuition at a ce.curate 1 boarding school m Howard street. My own wrongs are quite sufficient to entitle tny name to ltnin irtahty. It is sa'd that they who boast of their ances try, are like the potato-plant, the beat part of which is un der ground. I am net ,.f that number of vain glorious fools. - may re-t tny claims to distinction on my doings, or rather on mv Own sufferings. These suffering* commenced very early. The appetite for fruit ia very s:rm g in children; 1 endeavoured to grati* lv it in the natural wty, bv seizing on fruit where 1 found it mMlanundant; tltat is, on the public market place. In so doing. 1 practised, the true Spartan principles, in being as secret a. pussioie. for I wish to give no offence to Jew or (./entile. But I was sometime discovered, and as the mar ket-women knew as little of ancient history as they did of natural philosophy, many were the kirki and cuffs I re ceived from them, merely because I gratified my natural appetite in a natural way, by munching a few apples,tr it in ay be a few pears The cruelties I suffered in the city, drove me in the ccun- trv. Bui ine farmers, when I attempted to pick a few cher ries or pituns, assailed ine with sticks and stones, and some- times set their dogs upon rue. They were quite as inhu man as the market women, and. I'firmly believe, knew quite as little of ancient history and of natural philosophy. .*\ v should they have objected to a poor innocent child likr me.gratifting his natural ways! Since I have come to have on-hards and fruit gardens, •n.l graperies of u.y own. 1 confess that a new light philoso phy has broken upon me. But there are, T will maintain, two philosophies; one proper to shirtless and penniless boys, the ut.ier proper in men of wealth and Station. I believe inlmth. and have in my time lived up to both. I should like to .,ee the boy that wo U |,| venture to take an apple or a pear Irmn one of my trees. I would soon teach the young rascal thediffereure hetw -en meun and team; 1 wns born for n hero. I alway s knew I was. The story of the Spartan voutli. who Mole a fox, and then suffered to to gnaw nut his bowels rather than confess the theft, earlv excited my calculation—The r.nhle Spartans encouraged the,r youth in stealing, and made the who'e offence consist in ba ng I mud out. The Bpartans were true philosophers. 1 nr uighout my life 1 have endeavoured to act « n boat tan principles. ‘ The histories of Pizarro and forte* used to delight me exceedingly; and often did I regret that I could not, like them, act out toy true character This is. as the great Goe- thy says, toe end of o«.r being, and I agree with hitn. Cir- cumstanres wei-e against me; but I did wliat I could. I used to .st.mil at the do*ir of ifte tl.eatres and appropriate to myseit every now m l then a pocket-handkerchief andocca- *>• n tflv a pocket hook. Shall 1 relate what I suffered in consequence from inluimin sod unphiiosophic watchmen anu constablea, to sav nothing of aldermen and other com muting magistrates ? I will not.
