I have often found by experience,
that 1 have fallen into no great incon
vt^iences ^hen I havf taken wrongs
And we ihew ourselves greater
than our adversaries, when we let the
wnrfd fee that they cannot trouble us.
When children and fools do the fame
things row that we fret at in others
of more advanced years, we pass them
without a frown, which ffiews, that
'tis not the ads done us by our ene
mies, but our own resentment that
injures us.
I bear the injuries of others, with
the fame patience that a phyfitian'
doth those of a phrenetick patient : I
can patiently sustain all outragious in
fuio against me ; my desire is to ar
rive at heaven, and I ever bless the
hand which shortens my journey..
If an injury be done me, and if I
do my part, there is no hurt done ;
it's in the nature of an enemy to do
mifehief; and it's my duty to requite
evil with good : I make use of it for
the exercise and trial of my virtue ; I
Confront it with the innoceocy of my
life, and the security of a good con
science; lam not much moved, but
keep myfelf frill cheerful, and fixed
to-my Nation.
A man that walks in the streets of
a populous, city, must expert connect
with a flip in one place, a flop in an
other, a dash of the kennel in a third ;
just foch are the adventures of life,
and with the fame consideration are
they to be undergone.
So long as there are bad men in
the world, there will be viliany in it;
and he that is resolved to fret himfelf
for whatsoever he fees amiss, shall
never have ope quiet hour while he
lives.
I would have you praaite to be
a good wrestler; which will teach
you to fland firm ; whatever befalls
you. °
If you are injured, you do your

Long misfortune's darknejs lours ;
Disappointment's chilling blast.
Sorrow 's unavailing jhow'rs
Long the troubled mind o'ercaf.
Ev'n when time begins to soothe,
Mem'ry rouses pain fromfap,
Urging hard this awful truth,
" Haplejs man was born to weep."
But the threading gloom has ceas'd.
O'er the frozen weftern lakes
Lately swept the chilling blast ;
Late the fnom, in thick'ning flakes.

On the ruing of Aufter borne,

of yourfelf to revenge it ; let me ad
vise you to deffemble an injury, when
you have no: the power to revenge
it ; and generously to forgive it when
you have the means to do it.
'Til a noble way of reven^ to for
get injuries,; for resentment aoth^but
encourage that malice which pegleft
would dissipate., Lewis the 12th of
France, being advised by some of his
council ' to punish inch as were ene
mies to him when he was Duke of
Ortas ; answered like a Prince,
That it did set fail with the glory of a
King of France, to revenge the injuries
done to the Duke of Orleans.
.In revenge we a& the executioner,
but it belongs to a Prince to pardon ;
In the one we bestow a favour, but
in the other we betray our infirmity.
He that pardons, proclaims in so
doing, that he fears not his enemies ;
but revenge implies a tear of what
we desire upon that account to leffeo.
He that is naturally revengeful,
keeps his wounds open ; which oth

that the French had continued their
attacks every day until the 26th ult.

Prince Hohenloe : That the grena

Tepulfed, but that Prince Hohenloe
then marched forward to their support
with some artillery, and that the ene

That towards mid-day, however, the

General Wurmfer's poficion, who was
compelled to retreat, and has since re
crossed the Rhine in two columns.

heard a terrible cannonading towards

ly adions near Haguenau, at seven
eagues from hence ; the French did
ill they could to penetrate through the
fines before Haguenau ; they attack
ed them four times, and were often
epulfed. The fifth attack was more
terrible than any of the former, and
