(perhaps the most Important in the life of a
mao of genius,) while his thoughtless class
mates and giddy brothers were devoting'*
their days to dissipation, and preparing
sorrow as the treasure of more advanced
year*, young Randolph was waxing pale
over the midnight lamp, and distilling
sweetness from the Greek and Roman
spring. After finishing his studies with
credit, and obtaining his degree, he return
ed to Ms native state, and at the solicitation
nf an affectionate and amiable father, com
menced the study of the law, under the
wave of a maternal uncle. Naturally a hard
itudeWC, the disgusting and dry reading of
Coke and Lyttleton did not alarm him; in
a Short period, by perseverance be obtain
ed a profound general knowledge of that
important science. Hie talents were ns yet
known only to the select few whom he ac
counted his friends. But after commencing
hh practice, on the first favourabk op
portunity that offered, he shone forth as the
mm, after a ctovd has obscured his reful
gence, and illuminated the whole borlson
within his circle. His fame spread like
electricity, and with it hh practice in
creased in proportion. But the death of
his venerated father and hia older brother,
which happened about this flme, left him
more than a competency for one of Ms ab
et am loon habits; he therefore relinquished
the law as 4 profession, and in the course
ef stady. commenced that of the law of na
ture and nations. Hto fellew-c it Isens con
sidering him a prodigy, elected him their
Representative to Congress, at the Juvenile
age of n peers, and he has since continued
me of the most active and useful members
in tttat'bdUM, which is so emphatically the
'rghimate organ of the nation’s will. ♦

wordless legislator presented himself be- I

ant of one of the moot ancient families fa

to the famous Queen Pocahontas. He was
born about the year Iffy, and received the
rudiments of his education at Richmond
Academy, from whence he was sent with
his two centaur brothers to New-York, to
have the advantage of a college finish,—
While here, he mingled seldom fa the
youthful sports of his cotemporaries ; and
at the hours of permitted and necessary
amusement, he war frequently to be seen

originality of their style, the force of their
arguments, and the Independence of spirit
which breathes throughout every line,
Whether penned from the couch or the
