FROM THE EAGLE. VIGIL—No- lII* You think, perhaps, so dtTicate bis drsfs. Hit daily fare, as delicate Ala! ! He picks clean teeth, and Lufy as he feents With an old tavern quill, is hungry yet. Affe&ation, thou fir(l-born of folly; tliou haft done this mifchief, and of the remaining adventures of thy slaves, pri fun -walls, could they speak, might tell. : Att'c&ation, in the Cober hours of bought, is much condemned by all! Indeed it is treated most unfairly. It is tvounded even in " the house of its friends." Rut of ail affeftarion, that of riches I hate. What is it ? but the mean <!t(ire of acquiring reputation by ' 11>'K ;1 ",1 nuT.r.t r. Real wealth, obtained wiib confciotis re&itudt, and used as an aid to ufeful-j ness, is a hlefling.; but as the only fnb ilitute for felicity, 'tis but a sorry com forter. Where then (hall a man hide his head, who budds his hopes of hap pinefs, and honor, on being though rich, without the reality ? 1 am fallible, that Piwdence, by jme, at lealt, has become a " stale de ice but these are the distinguished ew, men of feeling, yes, who have ;dt the gnaws and rubs of empty sto machs, and who have caused parents and wives to feel too —the wounds of a broken heart :—who, rather than be happy with the many, chufe a different loid, though it ends in beggary, and want. di4t But nature, our fafcft pilot, teaches a more convenient leflon ; and who of all her foils, whose reason is retained within doors, will fay he covets wtet chednefs, and pain ? Not one: but un fortunately reason and fancy feme times cuff it, with thokes vjftlv unequal. If happiness is indeed an object worth attention, certainly it will not dettaft from the merit of penius to seek it, though it requires the rigid maxims of jnudence. It is the diftinguiflied pri vilege of genius to contain within itlelt eJery rcfource of fatisfa£lion, independ ent of time, and accident—to eftabliffi a kind of empire, whole defence" is proof against every attack of envy, and de traction. fSuch a disposition is of more vjlue than the magician's wand, and to arrive at such a liate of independence dotfa not require painful exertions, or (artificial fubterfuge. But leaving the 1 n' n lefTcr. lS ewmmon ftife, or falfely calculating on til - ef :eem of otliers, many, as to the out ward-man, have a (Turned the appearance of wealth to hide from the world their lack at home, tjprdid dignity ! when all of us in our lucid! moments, unite to hoot the filly fop, who waits for refpe£t, for that hd wears a finer piece of cloth than his richer neighbor, while he ought to thank the merchant for his civility, and ihetaylor for his patience. The man of Jenliment, tlio he has not cn/h, is content to appear what he is, and let his homely fare and plain garments proclaim to the world bis independence, and manly scorn of feathered eminence. I know, that some fond parents, yea difgullingly fond, will fay, " Why, Mr. ViGit," pethaps adding some har der names, for the fake of cmphafis— " then you would have us keep out girls and hoys always drauzltng on three months behind every body else in thefafhion, always depressed, ashamed to into company, for the want of fomi thing to wear, that is a little decent and pretty, and not knowing the fafhiona hle amr.fements. This Mr. Imperti nence intends oui houses 111 all be swar ming with old maidens and auk ward boys. Nay, good parent ; the Vigil intends no such thing ; for he honeltly declares, that lie has seen many ladies of real charms, who were nought in debted to the feller of silks, and fine linen for their excellence, and when he bowed his head towards them, it was to their very selves he bowed ; and not to fringe, and feathers, Teach your daughters to improve the more perma nent graces of the mind; make them companionable for men of sense j for there are such men ; and, trust me, some prudent inflru&ions for the manage ment cf domcftic affairs will do them no injury ; for bread is better than bro- ' cade : such is th« style of the morali zes As to your sons, let them know they have duties to discharge in socie ty, and in order to be good republicans, they should know that debts mn(l be dil'charged, taxes mud be paid, in short they mull cat and drink : in this way they will come to honor, and only in this way avoid the difgulling incivility of (heriffs, and con liable «.
