THE BASHFUL MAN.
Tin Letter from a Gentleman.]

In Letter from Gentleman.
Sir,
l labour under species of distress,
which fear will at length drive me utter
ly from that society, in which | am most
ambitious to appear; but | will give you
a short sketch of my origin and present
situation, by which you will be enabled to|
Judge Of my difficulties.
My father was farmer of no great pro-
perty, and with no other learning than
what he had acquired at a charity school !;
but my mother being dead, and an only
child, he determined to give me that ad-
vantage, which he fancied would make him
happy, viz. learned education.-I was
sent to country grammar school, and
from thence to the university, with view
of qualifying for holy orders. Here, hav-
ing but small allowance from my father,
and being naturaly y of timid and bash
full disposition, | had no opportunity OF
rubbing off that native aukwardness, which
is the fatal cause of all my unhappiness,
and which Inow begin to fear can never be
amended. You must know that in my
|person am tall and thin, with fair com
|plexion, and light flaxen hair; but of such
extreme susceptibility of shame, that, on
the smallest subject. of confusion. my
blood all rushes into my cheeks, and ]
appear a perfect full blown rose. The
consciousness of this unhappy failing made
me avoid society, and | became enamour.
ed of a college life; particularly when
reflected, that the uncouth manners of my
fathers family were little calculated to
Improve my outward conduct; | therefore
had resolved on living at the university,
and taking pupils. when two unexpected
events greatly altered the posture of my
affairs, viz. my fathers death, and the ar
rival of an uncle from the Indies.
This uncle l had very rarely heard my
father mention, and it was generally be-
|lieved that he was long since dead, when
he arrived in England only week toe
late to close his brothers eyes. l am
ashamed to confess, what l believe has
been very often experienced by those
whose education has been better than theil
parents, that my poor fathers ignorance
land vulgar language. had often made me
