The person of Smollet was stout and well proportioned, his countenouce engage- ing. his manner reserved, with a certain air of dignity that seemed to indicate that he ‘was not unconscious of his own powers. He was of a disposition so humane and gener ous, that he was ever ready to serve the unfortunate, and on some occasions 10 assist them beyond what bis circumstances could justify. Though few could penetrate with more accuicness into character, yet none was more apt to overiook misconduct when attended with misfortune. He lived in a hospiiable manner, but he despised that hospitaiity whic 1s founded on ostentation which entertains only those, whose situa- on in life flatters the vanity of the entertain- er, or such as can make returns of the same kind ; that hospitality, which kecps adebior aud creditor account of diners. Smoilet invited to his plain but plentiful table, the person whose character he ese teemed, in whose conversation he delight. ed, and many for no other reason than be- cause they stood in need of his countenance and protection. As nothing was more ab- horrent to his nature than pertness or intru- sion, few things could render him more in- dignant than a cold reception ; to this, how- ever, be imagined he had sometimes been exposed, on his application in favor of 0- thers : for himself he never made applica- tion to any great man in his life. £ Free (rom vanity, Smoilet had a consider- able s are of pride, and great sensibility ; his passions were casily moved, and too im- petuous when roused ; he couid not con- ceal his contempt of icliy, his detestation of fraud, vor retrain from proclainung his ins dignation against every species of oppress” ion. Though Jmollet possissed a versa- tility of style in wring, which he coud ac- commodate to every character, he bad no suppleness in his conduct. His learning diiiigence and natural accuteness would have rendered him eminent i the science .of medicine. had ue persevered in that pro” fessiou ; other parts of his Character were ill suited for augmenting his practice. He could neither stoop to impose on credulity nor humor caprice. He was ofan intrepid, independant, imprudent disposition, equally incapable of deceit and adulation, and more disposed to cuitivate the acquaintance of those he could serve, than those who could serve him. What wonder a man of his character was not what is called successful in fife, \ a CIVILITY. Civility is a tribute which every decorous individual of society has aright to expect. The truly polite are never deficient it. It has been known to shine more conspicuous- ly in some places than others. The generality of people judge of us, by our reputation or fortune. Nauwrally to be without envy is a certain mdication of great qualities. Fortune and eaprice govern the world. Magnavimity contemns ali to ob.aiapll. | ‘ > CENTRE BANK OF PENNSYL.
