writer Of this article, that he often read in bed
5y moonlight, and that the time he assigned
for reviewing his Grammar, an occupation
which required little exercise OF the eyes,
was the hour of twilight, when 1t was too
dark for any other studious employment.
With this capacity FOR knowledge and labo-
robustness in improving it he united great no.
|bleness Of soul, very amiable disposition and
a singular Inodesty. The first was consplcu-
ously displayed just prior to his departure,
and some. estimation may be made Of the last
and Of the effort 1t must have cost so elevated
a mind to beg even for SO honolablea purpose,
from the account of gentleman who relates
that he twice came to make OF him arequest
which he had rot the confidence to utter, and
which he finally ascertained to be petition
for little wood, to enable him to pursue his
studies during the intensity of the cold wea-
Their.
When he had accomplished the object OF
his long travel with a success ne had never
permitted himself to hope for, he was anxious
to gladden. the hearts of his old parents with
an account of the treasures he had acquired
and to share them with his brethren and SIS
tiers. The Washington Society desired to
prolong his stay Tor another noh1h III oiuei "
perfect his studies but to this he could not
be brought to assent ono" said he, /" you
have fed, clothed and instructed me have
attained all and more than ! ever dared TO
hope for, and cannot consent to engFoss SO
much of that bounty which is only common to
me with others as destitute as myself. Be-
sides, every moment spend in acquiring su-
perAuous instruction is robbing my brothers
of that which is necessary" He left town a
bout two months ago, perhaps the happiest
man that ever left it before, after being llbe-
rally supplied by the Society with every thing
requisite for imparting to his family and neigh
bors that instruction which it SO munificently
labors to disseminate, and which will be great
