And death nip tbeir beauties so rare.

Somdtooqy observes, that few of
the great people in this country,
can goback. more than one, or two
generations at farthest, without
stumblingover a lap stone , or burn
ing Hisfinger*vith a goose \ yet I
have known some people, who have
even in their own day and generation,
used (heap vile implements of in
dustry, to turn up their inputs at a
leather apron, and be panic struck
at the keen point of a needle. There
fore, a ? the distinction!, between
these two- classes, lie mere in the
opinions of the persons themselves,
than in any real physicafor moral
different, the best, and perhaps
only criterion to judge by, is tne
sentiments of those wKo hive placed
themselves among the better sort of
people; of a practi
less wealthy, in the same proportion
as the .Litcfr contemn the poor.

trace our origin to some poor tin
ker or taylor, or*cobler or nailer,
or hewer of wood and drawer 'of
water, or pcdler or weaver, &c.:
&c. yet few of us are willing to
look an inch farther back, than
corresponds with our ideas of dig
nity. If we can perceive hnr a
single drop of noble bfood , in a di
rect line, though for centuries past,
we will j i! m over whole herds of
vulgar relatives, to get at it. < This
-is ? called laudable ambition, ? and
?
none but the lowered will dare to
gainsay. How f^these ideas m
correspond with your sentiments i
this subject, Mr. Editor, I will not
pretend to say. Till lately, J had
been governed by that old-fashion
ed, vulgar adage, that " Worth
makes the man ' and though I am
not sufficiently furnished with argu
ments to controvert it, y* t { think
it would have read much better,
<c Wealth makes the gentleman
when aided by a quantum suffidt of
