with immense riches flowing H. upon him
He still remained uniform in his charitable
disposition, distributing many lhousandpound.
to various charities in and about London, be.
sides private gifts in many parts of the king

ny magnificent school in st. Aueus,ine's.

the building, and endowed the same with be.
tween E 200 and 81 800 per year forever
tie Likewise gave sflO for apprent,cing eve

frequently reported that his private charities
far exceeded those IN public. have heard
that one of his ships trading TO the East In.
dies, had been missing for upwards of three
years, and was supposed to be destroy ed at
sea, but at length she arrived, richly laden.
When his principal clerk brought him the re-
port of her arrival, and of the riches on
board, he said, as she was totally given up
tor lost, he would by no means claim any
right TO her therefore he ordered the shin
and merchandise to he sold, and the produce
thereof to be applied towards the relief Of
The needy, which directions were Immediate
" carried into execution. Another singular
Instance of his tender consciousness for cha
riy was at the age of forty, when he enter
tanned some Thoughts of changing his condi-
ton. He paid his addresses TO lady but
being very timorous lest he should be hinder
ed in his pious and charitable designs, he was
determined TO make christian trial of her
temper and disposition, and therefore one
morning filled hls pockets full of gold and sill
yer, IN order that # any object presented it.
self in the course of their tour over London
Bridge, he might satisfy his inteniions.-
While they were walking near st. Magnus
Church, a woman in extreme misery, with
twins in her lap, sat begging and, as he and
his intended lady we're arm-in- arm, he be.
held the wretcl,ed object, put his hand in his
pocket, and took ont handful of gold and
silver, casting it into the poor woman's lap.
The lady being greatly alarmed at such pro-
fuse generosity, colored prodigiously so
that wheu they were gone little further to.
wards the bridge-toot, she turned TO him and
said, Sir, do you know what you did few
minutes ago." "Madam," replied Mr..
Coston, never let my right hand know
what my left hand doeth." lie then took his
leave of her, and for this reason never mar
