A [communication.] OBITUARY. Departed this life on Sunday morning the 8th inst. in the,22d y?A of his age, Mr. Washington Breed, a native ot this n?ace and a valuable member of i s Society. _ The death of this young man presents another afflicting manifestation of the un certainty of life, and may well be the sub ject of serious reflection ; in the ardor of youth, in the meridian of sublunary exist ence, when the hearf is tuned to rapture and looks forward with anxious expectancy to the enjoyments of life, he is snatched Irom the thca^ . of- his hopes and uppiurcd in the darV prison of the tomb ! Attend ye thoughtless youths? Ye who sport i" the ^tin&hine of adolescence, nor dt eatnof the impending tempest j let the present exam ple ^excite your berious attention, and strengthen your resolution to amendment. As life is uncertain, and all earthly pursuits are vain, no longer postpone the important | concern of preparing lor eternity ; but em- i hrace the happy moment while time and opportunity offer, to provide with care against thfc great change ; when the plea sures of the world shaTT cease to delight, and the reflections of a life spent in tht exercise of virtue and piety, yeild the only comfort ai)d consolation. Thus shall your expectations hot be frustrated, nor shall you be hurried unprepared^ into the pre sence of that all wise and powerful judge ; to whom the secrcts of all hearts are known, and from whose drcadtul tribunal no cul prit can escape.
