Milton ha* very judiciouHty represented the
fat hoi* of mankim[, oh ftci/otl with horror and
astohitilimcnt at the flight of death* rejireimhteil
to hi in on (lio mount of Vision. For surely
nothing can mo much disturb the nnxflioriHj or
perplex the intellect* of man, ax u disruption of
hi* union \\ ith vi.?ible nature, n Hepaiation from
vverv tiling that has hitherto engaged or delight*
?'il htm s a change not only of tin? p)/ico, but the

Vet we, whom the tdmrtnesH of life ban made
acquainted with mortality, ran, without emotion,
fee getierHfiotiH of uieii |ku?k away, are at lei
cure to rMtahli^h modes of narrow, to adjust the
rfreimiuiitl? of death, look upon funeral pomp
.ix a < imiinHtar.ee in which wehn' e no concert^
and turn away from it to triflea and mnUHeinento
v .shout dejection of look, or inquietude of npi*
i i ? . 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. Ihit surely the remem
brance of death oi^ht to predominate in our
mind* a* an habitilal ami settled principle, al
ways operating, though not aUwivtt perceived i
and our atlentroti wanders no far fiom oar own
< ondition, an'md to he recalled ami lived by the
???yrlit of an event which must Mooii.we know not
how noon, happen likewise to hurselvee, and of
which though we ?aiinot appoint the time, we

IV awaken our fear*, anil quicKen our 1? ^
it Hchtuin hap|M5im that we arc imjcli an
unless Home closo connexion is broken, Home I
scheme frustrated, or Home hope defeated. ?
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.?
It is not possible to )>c regarded with tenderness
except by a few. 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.
Custom so far regu'ates the sentiments, at
least of common minds, that men mav be gene

he himself is ready to fall; nut because he is
more willing to die than formerly, but because
he is more familiar with the death of others, and
therefore not alarmed so far as to consider how

time making preparations for death, is to sleep
on our post at a mc?o : hut to omit it in old a^e,
i> to sleep during an attack.
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

the number of those whose probation in pant,
and hose happiness or misery shall endure for

, CIIVIIVCTKU OF CllAltt.KM FOX.
A? an orator, Mr. Fox deservedly possessed
a prnminunl rank among the ornament*
of the Hritish Somite. 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.
