It i< indeed apparent from the constitution nf the world, that there intuit he n time for o i'hm thoughts t and a perpetual meditation upon th? lant hour, however it may In-come the noli tiide of a monastery, is inconsistent with the duties of common life.

There aro many, therefore, who scorn to live without any reflection on the end of life, be cause they nic wholly involved within them selves, noil look on other* as unworthy their no tice, without any expectation of receiving, or intention of bestowing good. It i? indeed impossible without some mortifi cation of that desire which every man feels of being remembered an ' lamented, to behold how little concern in cniivV by the eternal departure even of tlioso wliii huve passed tlieir live* with public honor*, ami boon distinguished by mipe rlor tpialifics, or extraordinary performances.?

That merit which gives repu tation and renown diftuses its influence to a wide compass, but act* weakly in every Mingle breast : it fr placed at a distance from common s|>eetators, and shines like one of the remote stare, of which the light reaches us. hut nut the heat. The wit , the hero, the philosopher, u hom either their tempera, or their fortunes have hin dered from intimate relation*, or tender inter courses, die-often without any other efled, than that of adding a new topic to -the conversation of the day, and impress none with any fresh con I Action of the fraxilitv of our nature, because none had any jMirtiruW interest in their lives, or were uniteil to thein by a reciprocation t>f be nefits and endearments. Thus we find itoften happens, that they who. in their lives have excited applause, and attract eil admiration, are at length laid in the dust without the common honor of a stone, hecaasel by those excellencies w if h which many have been delighted, none have been obliged ; and though they had many to celebrate them, they had none to love them.

It has always seemed to me one of the most striking passages in the Vision** of (juevedo, where he Hfigmnjiy.es those hh fools who coin plain that they tailed of happinesi) by audden death. *? How , says he, can death lie sudden to a being who always knew that lie inuitt die, and that the time of hi* death was uncertain/' Since there are not wanting admonitions of our mortality to preserve it activc in our mind*, nothing can 'more properly renew the impres sion, than the examples which every day sun plies ? and as the greatest incentive to virtue is the reflection that we must die, it may houseful to nccustom ourselves, whenever we "see a fu neral, to consider how soon we may be added to the number of those whose probation in pant, and hose happiness or misery shall endure for ever. ?

With powers of tnititl of the very firatorder, and habit* of thought and reflection of the most profound description, it waH impossible for him, while he mixud in public aftairfl, not to establish an aHcemlancv in every discussion respecting them. According ly we have mm* n hi m on every such occasion, with the exception only of bin ill judged hccck Hi??ii from parliament, taking the foremo?t ?rround in opposing the measures and policy of that truly great miniHter and trauHcemlatit -t.-itesmau the hit?* Mr. Pitt ? whilst the minor members of his par|v were employed in skir mishing, or making feehle attacks on the out* work*. Mr. Fox uniformly assailed the citndel. lie disdained to enter the lists against any ad versary but. the great leader of his opponents, whilst he reimiined to he encountered. The object of his attacks, however, was too firmly entrenched on the advantage .grounds of policy and patriotism, to allow any serious impression to lie mailt' ii |i< 1 1 1 Mm. Hut if Mr. Fox failed in hi* hostile o peril I ions lie wan never disgraced' by his defeat. Though could not npprove ' of the raune. we could not withhold out- admira i tion o^the ability with which it wnd uniformly supportTitrVI'lie extent of hlH knowledge anil the fecuuditVof bin mind enabled Mr. Fox whenever it touted his view*, to swell trifle^ to consequent'!-, and to enhance even the magni (ndu of important question*. lie wan filled with a force and s acuity that enabled him in stantly to comprehend the motif multiplk'd de tails, to analyse the moat complicated. arjeii* ments, and to reduce the moat refined and ela borate portion* to the standard of first princi ple#. A I way* animated himself, he never failed to animate oVbers. I'uanibifiourt of the melody of sounds or the decorative embellishments of polished l:i ?i:? vt?* ? he studied only the lucid ex position of Iiih matter, ami the'precinion and force of hi* reasoning were principally dirj'ctcd t? guide the imminent and inform t)in under* landing, lie ne'/lectcil, we think culpably neglected, that most essential requisite of a fin* iHhed orator ? fluent, copious and correct dic tion. Attentive onlv to Iuh matter he was often betiayed into solecisms in language and viola tions of grammatical accuracy* that were un pardonable in a leading public speaker. In thift v ?% w b iui Ki ntv'8 that uniformly accompanied and enricheutho fine power* of lib adversary, en hancing their influence without diminishing their strength. Mr. Vox u? a speaker might be com pared to a rough but masterly specimen of the Hculntor'a art j Mr. Pittto the exquisitely tin Uhed statue. The former wanted a polish to render him pcrfect j the latter possessed in a transcendent degree every requisite of an ac complished orator. ThGHbrco of Mr. Fox's rea soning flashed like liuhtniiiu uptm the minds of hid hearers j the thunder of Mr. Pitt' it eloquence gave irresistible e fleet to hi* powerful mid con vincing arguments. Though Air. Fox's reasoii iug was always cogent, and occasionally con clusive ill tlur> detail, it was frequent ly defective ia point of arrangement for establishing his gen eral conclusion. Like the lightning to which \ve hu\e compared it. .numberless distinct Unfil es succeeded each other in rapid order, without producing any impression correspondent either to their number or their indit iiliiai force. l)ui st ing, in frei|uent hut often uucoiiliccted suc cession from his fertile mind, they elect l iiieii when they did not convince, und always left a sense of udmiration at their acutcness and splendor, even when llieir light was eclipsed in the glare of subsequent Hashes. Mr. Pitt's el oquence, on tlie contrary* proceeded wi*'t all. (he majest y ofs-ouud and all the ftirco of lire r uniting the rapidity of the Hash with tliCHolem* nit v of the pctil, it ciivehqied his auditors in the ] light of conviction, and mane the impression in delihle by the irresistible energy with which it j was urged. Perhaps the world never produced at anv one period, two individuals so eminently sUiH'Hor to their contemporaries, so peculiarly calculated to he mutual rivals. It was by their collision with each other that their jteculiar perfections were brought to light.? I lad they comineiiced and continued their political career 011 the same side, neither would perhaps have attained the eminence which both acquired.
