MARIANN A.=A Character.
nF a female lives to the age of chir
* ty years unmarried, the ^rld in
general honors her with the appella
tion of an Old maid. This it by al
most every one thought as a reproach,
without considering whether there
may not be reafoni which have o
tyiged her to remain firigle, proct
tog Sometimes from prudence, some
times from difippointq^nt )
Marianna, is arrived st the period
ofiife above dated ; the possesses
great dstbral sense, and has a mind
formed for 'friendship and Society;
She fympatbizes in the distresses, and
feels the woes that are fecideM to hu
mseity. Being bred up in the paths
of domestic economy, (he is a per
fe& pattern of prudente and frugali
ty, but although fheL careful, Bill
die is difinterefled, aro, would scorn
a Gate of servile depeftnce; foe is
truly pious and benerfent, and her
hand is ever oped torefethe wants
of ibofe, whom ,fyifetyfe
ed io so low a Rate as to depend for
fopport on the charity of their fellow
creatures.
She is sprung from a numerous
family, and wifely prefers# maintain
ante from her own ioduriry, to liv-|
ing at home in plenty and at ease
with a father, who is both willing and
able to provide for her; thus like
the prudent ant, the takes care against
the time of need ; and should provi
dence so order it, that her father
should leave this life, the can genteel
y support herfelf, without becoming
a burthen to her friends and relations.
Can a woman like this be doomed
not to enjoy tfe pleasures of the mar
ried state ? Can a female like her be
negle&ed ? No, I should think it was
impossible , , for her charader in al
most every, f^fped is truly amiable &
worthy of imyation ; yet the has
feme faults, some few impertaioni,
which rather call a fh&de over her
bright qualifications ; the purest of
beings ate not without, the most up
right beings are liable to error.
When the praises, it is with all the
sincerity of a friend; but when the
reproves, it is with all the bitterness
of an enemy, and because the is hon
ed enough to tell any one of their
faults to their face, the thinks the is
entitled to fpesk agaioft their backs.
This is not a&ing with the generality
that is exposed from a person of so
liberal a mind as Mariana ; it is gen
erous to be fitent when the name es
any one is brought up ; for if we
cannot fay any thing to their prai fe;
we need not strive to depreciate them
io the opinion of others. Perfection
is not the lot of humanity § man
kind may endeavor to ad right—but,
alas ! how far (hort do their endeav
ors fall off from the rules of reason &
religion. The reason of her remain
ing (ingle, I do not profefs to know,
but shall judge, that merit like hers
could not be negleded ; but if it
does proceed from neglect, blulh, ye
men, at those virtues which you de
serve not to poffefi. But that I dare
fay is nut the case ; her amiable
qualities would shine even in the low
eftabyfs of obscurity ; but it ma,
proceed from piudence ; her careful
temper perhaps would shudder at the
profpea of want, and think (he may
live better and more comfortably by
herfelf, than in the bands of the hy
meneal state : Disappointed (he may
be supposed to have been ; but as 1
know not the hiftory of her life, I
cannot pretend to fay ; I can only
write from that whieh falls under my
observation ; (he appears to me to
poff^f, many qualifications that would
repder the connubial state permanent
ly happy, and which now delights
the (mail circle of friends, who have
the honor and happiness of her ac-.
quaintance,/
