ON THE WASTE OF LIFE.

In the last volume of DR.. Franklin's
Mem oirs, is the following article on "thc
Waste of Life" Its psrusal no doubt
will produce wholesome reflection in
the minds even OF the most dissoluts.
"Amersus was a gentleman of COED
estate; he was bred 10 no business, and
could not con rive how to waste his hours
sgreeably; he had no relish for the pro.
per works of lite, nor any taste Tor the
i'm prorements Of the mind; he spent
generally ten hours Of the four and TWEEN.
ty IN he'd, he dozed away two or three
nsre on his couch, and as many more
were dissolved in good liquor every
evening, il he met with company Of
his own humor. Thus no made a shift
10 wear off Ten years of his life since the
pa,ernal estate fell into his hands. One
evening when he wss musing alone, his
thoughts happened to take a most unu-
sual turn, for they cast a glance back
ward, and he began to reflect on his man
ner of life. He bethought to himself
wha, number of beings have bean made
q sacrifice Of to support his carcass, and
how much corn and wine had been
mingled with these offerings; and he
set himself to compute what he had de-
youred since no came to the age of a
man.
"About dozen feathered creatures
small and a great, have, one week with
another, said he, given up their lives
a. ,pn ,ek in
amour, to at least six thousand. Fifty
sheep have been sacrificed in year,
with half hc,acomb Of black cattle,
that might have the choicest parts Of
fsred weekly upon my table. Thus a
thousand beasts out Of the focks and
herds have been slain in ten years time
to feed me, besides what the forest has
supplied me with. Many hundreds of
ashes have, in all their varieties, been
robbed of life for my repas,--and Of the
smallest fry some thousands. A mea-
sure Of corn would hardly suffice me
with fine -four for months provision,
and this arises 10 above six score BUSH
els; and many hogsheads Of wine, and
other liquors have passed threngh this
body Of mine-this wretched straiDer Of
meat and drink And what have done
all this time, for God or man! What q
vast profusion Of good things upon q
useless life and worthless liver! There
is not the meanest creature among all
those which l have devoured, but wha,
hath answered the end Of ito creation
better than I. I, was made to supper,
human nature, and il hath done SO. Eve
~ crab pd oyster ] have eat and every
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1824-10-26

up its place in the rank of beings with
more propriety than have done. Oh
shameful waste of life and time
6 In short, he carried on his mora re.
Elections with SO just and severe a force
of reason as constrained him TO change
his whole course eflife, 10 break off his
follies at once, and TO apply himself to
gain some useful knowledge, when he
was more than thirty years OF age. He
lived many following years with the
character Of a worthy man and an excel
lent Christian.
Z" He died with peaceful conscience,
and the tears Of his country were dropped
nPon MS tonrb. The world, That knew
the whole series of his life, were amazed
