mcnto, too, ard the head Of Washington,
bruken off and carried away by visitors,
has been three times renewed. Boys Of

All my life long I've been looking for

would have become the highest Ranke
in Female Life, and whose vivacity
would have recommended Her In our
best conversation, But by judgment as

retirement as gave her great opportunitys
for Reading and Reflection which she
made use Of to the Wisest purposes Of
improvement in knowledge and Re.
ligiOn. Upon other subjects she ventured
far out of the common way OF thinking,
but in Religious matters she made the
Holy Scriptures, in which she was well
Skilled, the Rule and Guide Of her Faith
and Action, Esteeming it more safe to
rely upon the plain werd of God than TO
run into any freedoms of thought upon
reveal'd Truths. Thegreat share Of Time

people ride no much in hans0ms nova

carriages. In 1852 Thomas Thyme, Esq,
was shot in his own coach by three hired
assawins, while driving through Pail
Mall. The story is told with every cir
cumstantiality in sculpture. The poor
gentleman sits in his coach, and you rec
the assassins firing their blunderbusses
in at the window, while the coachman
whips up his horses. The murder was

South Carolina, when the colonies re-

and sailed for England, but was wrecked
