truly Christian maxims of piety and morality which he inculcated, were exemplified by the purity of his life. He was a tender husband, a most affectionate father, a kind master, and a sincere friend. These virtues were in him real; they flou. rished from a root, and that root was Christianity. The loss of him will be long and deeply felt by his afflicted relatives; and one who for many years experienced bis paternal affection inserts this humble tribute to his memory, to rescue from oblivion departed worth.

Finding, however, that she was more likely to acquire independence by teaching drawing, than by copying pictures, she wholly devoted herself to the latter pursuit, and fully accomplished her purpose, as she was protected by some of the first people in this country, who esteemed her for her good sense, and the propriety of her conduct, as well as for her skill and taste in the Fine Arts.
