the Academy at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-,
June 1, 1790.
BY one of the most affedionate and attentive of
parents was I placed here.—The days appoint,
ed by him for the completion ofmy education, are
numbered and finifhed. ,
With a heart, overflowing with the tendered
emotions, I now rife to bid a long farewell to a
neighbourhood, from whom 1 have experienced
the molt constant and friendly offices : To a socie
ty, who have as constantly covered all my faults
with the mantle of love as they have, with a friend
ly partiality, encouraged my progress, by magni
fying my few improve nents —to take a most ref
pedfal and dutiful leave of Teachers, from whom
1 have experienced every attention and every kind
riefs ; to bid a final adieu to companions, to whom
l feel myfelf bound with the itroageft cords of love
and efttem.
Previous to the adjournment, ah unanimous vote
passed both houses, returning thnks to the Corpo
ration of this City, for the elegant and convenient
accommodations furnifhtd the Congress of the U
nited States.
In taking leave of this peaceable, happy society,
I beg they would believe me truly grateful for
their many pledges of affection ; and fully sensible
of the advantages I have enjoyed, in having my
youth formed by such example of domestic eco
nomy—purity of morals, and reverence for religi
on. •
In taking leave of you, my lovely and dear com
panions, I am supported by the pleasing reflexion,
that the hill of Science you ate now afeending,
presents profpeas the most happily calculated to
alleviate a separation from ,our relations and
homes ; and hat the road is planted with every
flower, which, perhaps, it is possible for accade
mic ground to nurse. I speak from experience,
having preceeded you in these rural feenea and
fcientific walks. Could I givt form to fancy, or
embody thought, bach of you would be delighted
with the pidure my three year'i study here has im-'
pressed on my mind.
My lovely companions! Iflife- be the bounty
of heaven, to enjoy it rationally, is certain the
firft happiness of humanity ; ti observe it with a
virtuous delicacy, the peculiar felicity of our fee
ble, dependant sex. We are riot here managed
to ride the whirlwind of thoughtless dissipation.
But in these calm retreats we are taught lessons
which dignity ihe char: &er of our sex—entitle us
to refped in society—and, if duly attended r o,
will have a happy influence in rendering us accom
plished and agreeable companions;
Separa ed we soon shall be, by returning to dur
ftveral homfs ; yet by indulging aretrofyea of the
sciences we have here ftudiei ltogether—of the
pleasure we have experienced in the company of
each other ; and the friendfhips we have here con
trasted and cemented—(hall we not daily meet in
this af,lum of peace and innocence? Wherever
accident or 'citcum Rances may place us, I doubt
not, but it will be out daily petition; that the per
sons bf those whose time has been so iacredly de
voted for our benefit, may forever be encircled
with the ray, of a divine benediction; and; that
into a source whence we have derived so many ad
vantages, a affiant tide of peace, fuceefs and hap
pioefs, may forever roll.
Amiable and beloved Tutoreffes ! With what lan
guage mail I attempt to describe the grat tude,wi h
which my riling bosom glows for all your sender,
nefs and all your care ? Wet I an orator, and able
to afeend the highest ladder of eloquence, 1 should
there need an Adam to give names to sensations
which tyi language can now express.—ls I have not
improved, it cannot be charged to your neglefl—

Should your partiality for me, suppose me border
ing ouan accompli fh/nent, it is but a small return
for your unremitted attentions.
It is not necessary 1 should bring these, my love
ly companions, in tie arms of the love and friend
fhip 1 feel for theni, and prelent them to your care
—they arealready infolded in the bosom of your
tendered affedions. Could the perional virtues of
teachers ensure them success, there would not be
one in this lovely circle bat would aniwer the ex
pe&ati < ns, and even the most (anguine wishes, of
those who have sent them here for a education.—•
These are no compliments lavished by vani y ; but
truth, extorted by the justice due your characters as
teachers.
If to form the tender mind to virtue, t • science
and ufefulnefs, be of the firtt consequence it socie
ty, what praise is due him, who, w. h h^h impar
tiality, abilities and attention, prefixes in this
large, and increafeg Academy ?
Partial as ' am, Rev. Sjr, to this mode of edu a
cation: warm as my bosom glows with refpeCt and
gratitude for your paternal and unceasing care for
my improvements, I have not risen o disgust you
wih a catalogue of commendations, of which; few
of your acquaintance—none of this society, can be
ignorant. That refpe& you have taught me tb
entertain, for the most virtuous and deferring, I
feel for you.—The uleful and moral precepts £
have so often received from you, i will endeavor
to carry wi'h me into the world, and hope I ma,
be able to improve upon them as 1 advance in life.
Whilll the finger of science, so evidenity points to
ter these peaceful groves. May the roots of this
tr^ of know edge of good only, you are directing
our feeble sex to approach, be forever fuppor ed
and enriched by the unshaken foil of virtue, and
its branches continually encircled by the rainbow
of refined and uleful cience.
To the late. Director of this infant Academy,
and his amiable lady, a tribute is due which I will
not fully by attemp ing to describe.—Their places
being so agreably, and refpedably filled, does not
lessen our love and esteem for them, or with us;
eclipse a ray of <he parity with which thei r chai
rafters lorever ffiohe. Had not an important de
mand itithe church called them to a more
elevated liquation, pleaftng would it have been to
this Academy oould they have continued a charge,

The curtain of separation is now drawing —=
I must bid you a long——perhaps with so ne
of you it will be an eternal adieu.— = May our
separating hot break or weaken, but extend and
strengthen the cords of love and iriendfhip with
which we have here been bound.—■—To your own
breasts, my beloved and dear friends, I appeal f>r

fobs were wafted to Leti±, and the Lehigh with
whose waers our tears were mingled, can witness
to the grief and reluctance wih which we bade
