He called to his servant, that the sun and the fields were turning round him ; whipped and spirred his horse until the animal reared and wheeled in every di- rection Atlength he lost his whip ; his feet seemed incapable of resting in the stir- rups; the bridle dropped from his hand ; and he appeared to have lost the use of his faculties. Finally he fell from his horse in such a death-like manner, that Preville gave an involuntary cry of hotrour, and his ter- rour greatly increased when he found that his friend made no answer to his questions. After wiping the dust from his face, he ask- ed again,& Garrick whose eyes were close, half opened one of them,hiccupped, & with the most natural tone of intoxication, called, for another glass.

He wrote to court, but his letters were not re- garded. Wearied and incensed he travel- ied to London, and placed himself in all pub lic places, thinking that the eye of his ma- jesty might reach him. But he was never noticed, and his mean garb did not suit the rich laced and embroidered doublets of court ; so ne was insulted and pushed from the king’€ presence. At length he attempted by cunning what he could not accomplish by plain dealing. He ingratiated himself with the king’s or- ganist, who was so enraptured with Cock- ‘pen’s wit and powers of music, that he con- sented to his request of playing on the or- gan before the king at divine service. He accordingly played with exquisite skill,yet never attracted his majesty’s eye. But at the close of service, instead of playing the common tune used,he played up, ‘Brose and Butter,” with all its characteristic merri- ment !

Reputation cannot be too inviolably guar. ded. The world is naturally censorious. Even to claims on its approbation the most dignified and deserving, it yields a reluctant sanction ; and consigns to a rash infamy the name which chance or imprudence has ren- dered questionable. Nor is the prejudice of character afrail or fugitive impression. It is the foster child of envy ; It finds advoe ‘tates in all the jealousies of emulation, and §s nourished into maturity by the self con- soling fiend of undetected crime. They certainly mistake the character of mankind widely, who trust in after-profes- sions of reformation, as passports to the for- feited confidence of society. A theusand deeds of honor and of justice ; a thousand protestations of penitence, canscarce oblite- rate the memory of a single crime. Extra- vagant professions naturally induce suspi- cion of incincerity. Repentance, to be gen- uine, must be secluded. Mankind, there- fore, view the crime inits utmost enormity and extent; magnified by ignorance, and exaggerated by envy ; but they witness not the secret tears of expiation, nor listen to the sighs of agonizing remorse B. ul Grand mpirovement in the art of Court- — —— om= 3 hh rma?
