Neither can the death of grandchildren and other

not enjoy himself, who meets with no crosses or
du appointments in his old age, such as youth is
constantly plagued with, and from which, as I shill
prasetstly show. 1. have the happiness of being
exempt.
The first of these is to do service to my country.

infinite delight. as I thereby show her the means of

She will, memerter. thereby add to her great and
excellent seven seee of Queen of the Sea! Such is
my atunammeot; and nothing is wanting to stoke
it complete. Another amusement of mitosis, that
of *bowleg this maid and queen how she may abound
in provisions, by improving large tracts of land, as
well marshes IN barren sands, to great profit. A
third amusement, and an amusement also without any
alloy, is that of 'hewing how Venire, thongh already
so strong, as to be in a minors'. impregnable, may
be rendered still stronger; and though extremely
beautiful. may still increase in beauty; though
rich, may acquire more wealth, said may be made
to enjoy better air, though hers is excellent.
These three amusements, all arising from the idea
of public utility, I enjoy in the highest degree.
And who can say that they admit of any
es in fact they do not ? Another comfort 1
enjoy is, that barium lost a considerable pert of
my income, of which my grandchildren had been
unfortunately robbed, I, by mere force of thought,
which never sleeps. mid without any fatigue
of body, and very little of mind, have found a
true and infallible method of repairing such loss
more than double, by a judicious use of that
most commendable of arts, agriculture. An-
other comfort I still enjoy is to think, that my
Treatise ou Temperance, which I wrote, in order
to be useful to others, is really so. as many assure
me by word of mouth, mentioning, that it has
proved extremely useful to them, MI it in fact ap-
pears to have been, whilst others inform me by let-
ter, that, under Gud, they are indebted to me fur
life. Still, another comfort I enjoy, is that of
being able to write with my own bend ! for I write
enough to be of service to others, both oat atthitec-
tore and agriculture. I likewise enjoy another sr-
tisfection, 'slick is that of conversing with men of
bright parts and superior understai.ding, fioin whom
even at this advanced period of life, I lean some-
thing. What a comfort is this, that, old as I am,
1 should be able, without the least fatigue, to rutty
the moat important,sublime, and difficult subjectel
I must further add also, though it may appear
impossible to some, and rosy be so iat some into.
sure, that at this age I enjoy at once two lives ; nue
terrestrial, whirls I posses,' in fact ; that other ce-
lestial, which I pos.ess iD thought; and this thought
is equal
.to actual reajoyment, when founded ou
things we are sure, to attain, as I sus sore to attain
that celestial life, throttle) the infinite mercy and
goodness of God. Thus I enjoy this terrestrial
life in consequence of my sobriety and tempe-
rance, virtues so agreeable to the Deity ; and I
enjoy, by the getter Odle same divine Majesty, tl.e
celestial, which he makes me anticipate in thought ;
a thought as to fix me entirely on this object, the
fruition of which I hold and affirm to be of the
utmost certainty. And I hold that dying, in the
manner I expect, is Dot twiny death, but a passage
of the soul from this earthly life to a celestial, im-
mortal, and infinitely perfect existence. Neither
can it be otherwise ; and this thought is so pleas-
ing, so superlatively sublime, that it can no longer
stoup to low sod worldly objects, such as the death
of this body, being entirely taken up with the
happiness of living a celestial and divine life;
silence it is, that I enjoy two lives. Nor can the
terminating of so high • gratilic.stion, which I en-
joy in this life, give me any concern; it rather
affords me infinite pleasure, as it will be (tidy to
make room for another glorious and immortal life.
Now is it possible that any one should grow tired
of so great a comfort and blessing, as this.which
I really enjoy ; said which every one else might
enjoy, by leading the life I halm led sit example
winch every one has it in his power to follow; for I
stn but • mere mad, and no saint ; a servant of God,
to whom as regular a lilt is extremely agreeable.
