Col. Clap was a native of Sudbury but
spent the most Of his long and useful life
III this county. Soon after the close of the
revolutionary war, he succeeded Mr.. Bald

his fidelity and gentlemanly department Sc
cured a reelection until age admonished
him to retire to the quiet repose of private
life, where he enjoyed his books and his
friends with mental vigor, and with little
bodily suffering to the close of life. He
inherited from nature the rare and happy
union of" a sound mind in a sound body"
His constitution shielded him from most of
the ills which flesh is heir to :" and Wig
orous intellect buoyed him above the COM
mon yeXations and troubles incident to hui
manlty. In his pilgrimage he was not ex-
empt from affection; but christian philoso-
ply enabled him to meet every adverse oc-
currence with calm resignation. In his in
discrimination between the follies and the
misfortunes which induced penury and dis

doer," by being san encouragement to
those who do we'll" To such, he was ev-
er ready to extend the hand of charity. In
him the virtuous poor have lost friend
Ills benefcence, with this restriction, was
EXTENDED to the family of man: still he
was without reproach as respected his

for his own support, connected with a gen.

lie was an ardent friend of his country,
and promoted It's interest in all the pro

lie was the advocate of social order, and
of firm and efficient government. The
moral force Of his mind was of too elevat-

His beliefin the christian religion has
been doubted only by those who did not
intimately know him, or who esteem pro-
LESSONS of faith better test of the chris

of the christian virtues. 1t is, however,
true. that at an early period his reflective
mind was shocked. and his faith was near
being wrecked by some strong and repul-
sive doctrines to which he could not yield
his assent. But instead of being driven Oh
the.rocks of infdelity, as many others have
been, he diligently consulted the chart Of
scripture, and steered his course by what
he conscienciously considered its directions
