MLLAN C NO L r SUICIDE.

NEW-YORK, MAY 15.

There are characters who, though unconn-fled by
country. nor endeared by relahisaship, interest the
world in the vicissitudes of their lives, elicit wishes
for their prosperity, and command sympathy in all
their amiitions. Those whom age has advanced to the
climederic of reputation, mankind behold in silent
melancholy borne from the stage, assured the set-
tled atfeftiun of their fellow.creatures must long
have presaged the approbation of him, before whom
their earthly conduct is now to be recounted. But
the young, yet unrnstured by time, and so often
blasted by depravity in the bud of greatness, create
anxiety for the fate of endowments which may exalt
them the protators of their country, and exe nplify
the loveliness of virtue and d gnity of talents.—
Such sensations as these were, perhaps, never more
justly excited, than in the late dismal catastrophe
of the life of Charles W. Monk, of Canada ;
youth who long displayed those qualities, which.
white they command the admiratinu, secure the love
of mankind. He had just closed his cAlegiate ca-
seer, where pre,:minence had ever been his station,
and the world opened to him a theatre suited to the
exhibition of those powers which his aspiring soul
felt hitherto limited in their sphere. Separated
for several years from his family, i.e had returned
but to realize the hope of a laving parent, aid dis-
pel the cares of domestic solicitude. The blandish-
menu with which pleasure fascinates youth, the
applauses of admiratiou, the encomiums which
wisdom and morality ever bestow on ingenious
worth, it might have been presumed. would have
allurements too enchanting to be renounced at the
age of susceptibility. and by a mind to which
they would have been but the need of desert.—
Yet, however ecstatic be its delights. youth escapes
not adversity ; and if its misfortunes he not
equal, sensibility renders them more poignant than
those of age. Alter so long an absence, he had not
revisited the scenes of his tender years above three
months, when some unknown calamity seems to
have darkened his prospeas, and presented death as
the only comfort for his sufferings. One evening,
without having betrayed any symptoms ot melan-
choly, the family were alarmed, after he had retired
to his chamber, by the report of a pistol. Upon
entering, he was found in agony ; the ball had pas-
sed through his breast ; the wound was mortal I
his uncle, Chief-Justice Monk, inquired the cause of
this desperate act ; to which be replied. " net
goes tents me to the grave," and expired.—Such
has been the end of a yowl; man, yet in his twenti.
eth year. whom nature and his owl; efforts formed
fur aa ornament in any society.
