EXTRACTS
From the letters of Mrs. Adams.


The following letter was written to
her husband in the Sd year of his second
absence to France.
my DEAREST FRIEND The family
are all retired to rest and the scenes fthe
day are over; a day which wished to have
devoted in a particular mannerto my dear
est friend; but company falling in, preven-
ted it nor could | claim a moment until
this silent watch of the night.
Look, lis there dearer name than
friend; think of it for me, look to the date
of this letter, and tell me what are the
thoughts which arise in your mind! DO
you not recollect that eighteen years have
run their circuit since we pledged our mu-
tual faith to each other, and the hymenl-
al torch was lighted at the altar of Love!
Yet, it burns with undated tervor. Old
Ocean has not quenched it, nor old Time
smothereG it in this bosom. 1t cheers me
in the lonely hour--it comforts me even
in the gloom which sometimes possesses
my mind
1T is. my friend, from the remembrance
of the joys have lost, that the arrow of
affliction IS pointed. recollect the I'm
titled man to whom gave my heart, and
in the agony of recollection, when time d.
distance present themselves together, wish
he had never been any other. Who shall
give back time? Who shall compensate
to me those years cannot recall? How
dearly have / paid for titled husband
Should | visa you less wise, that might
enjoy more happiness? I cannot find that
in my heart. Yet Providence has wisely
placed the real blessings of life within the
reach c. moderate abilities, and he who
is wiser than his neighbor, sees so much
more to pity and lament, that | doubt
whether the balance of happiness is in his
scale.
L feel disposition to quarrel with a
race of beings who has cut me off in the
midst Of my days from the only society |
delighted ii. Yet no man liveth to him
self, says an authority | will not dispute.
Let me draw satisfaction from this source
and, instead of murmuring and repining
at my lot, consider it III more pleasing
view Let me suppose, that the same gra-
clous Being, who first smiled upon our un-
ion and blessed us in each other, endowed
my friend with powers and talents for the
benefit of mankind, and gave him will
ing mind to improve themftor the service
