[recto] every study that tends to harmonize, and soften the natural ferocity of the temper, is embraced with the most beneficial effects. Yet some assert that learning is unnecessary in females; that, their employment being of a domestic nature, they are seldom called upon to exert their literary knowledge. But such objections seem to arise either from ignorance, prejudice, or envy. They cannot be the result of experience, or impartial judgment. If they are never to fill a public seat, or harangue in public, will they never have an occasion to read in a company of friends, or, to teach what they have learnt to their families and children? Will they never have an occasion to write to an Acquaintance or relation? Must they never speak before a company, or other wise? Yes, surely they cannot be kept from speaking. Should they note therefore be taught to write and speak properly? And ought they not to be well acquainted with what they are daily required to teach to others?

[Page] 58 sixty or seventy years, with the number that die under that age, we can have but little reason to expect so long a life. And, indeed, when we consider how many are cut off, in the midst of their agreeable dreams, and when no period of life promised more success, it is not folly or madness, for any man to flatter himself, that at some distant period, he shall be happy; that, at some time or another, all his plans will be completed, and all his wishes gratified. Because some have suddenly been raised to wealth and honor, without labor; it is absurd for others, to expect the same degree of eminence, without dilligent perseverance in some laudable pursuit. Yet many act as if they hoped to win an estate, by only wishing for it. They indulge themselves in idleness, hoping by some fortunate event, or lucky accident, to be put into possession of pension, or places of honor and profit. They

[recto] of political happiness, and the gem of inestimable value. They considered the hardships endured, the difficulties encountered, and the blood and treasure expended, by their Ancestors, in purchasing liberty, as undeniable evidence of its value. They considered it as their unquestionable duty, to themselves, their Ancestors, and posterity, to use all lawful means to preserve their country from tyranny, and all hostile invaders of their rights. Therefore they deliberated, they resolved, and confirmed their independence. They determined not only to oppose tyranny, but also the tyrant; and declared eternal enmity to all his machinations. Americans! this is the Anniversary of that day which declared the independence of the states. This is the day on which Freemen were reanimated to assert the rights of man, and to limit the bounds of tyranny. This day degenerated Britain's greatest glory was extinguished, and all her expectations reversed forever. The transactions of this day

[recto] {..} they thought they were to live forever; and pass away their time without enjoying the present blessings of life, in preparing to live a happy life, which they imagine they shall enjoy, at some future period, to which there is but little probability that they will ever arrive. Every man hopes he shall live to the age of sixty or seventy years; and without enquiring into the reasonableness of such hopes, involves himself in business, and runs into difficulties, from which he never can extricate himself: yet he fancies the time is coming, when all his troubles and distresses will end, and all his wishes and expectations be gratified. At the same time he knows, that one year passes after another, without any prospect of the desired happiness; and, perhaps, without any endeavors after it. Belief ought to be proportioned to probability and evidence. If, therefore, we compare the number of persons who arrive to the age

[Page] 56 Others delight in publish the faults of an excellent character; either to show their great penetration in discovering faults where others supposed there were none; to gain the esteem of others, by letting them know that they are free from such faults; is to defend themselves from the scandal of them by a great mans example. But if malice alone cannot move him, he will find it difficult to keep up his reputation in all its height and splendor. If a telescope magnifies the dark spots as well as the light on the sun so will he find his exalted station will render his faults and imperfections more visible. If he makes a mistake in any of his important concerns, it will infallibly cast a stain over his other actions and spoil his reputation.

[Page] 53 beholders, that very few of them can aspire to the summits of fame. Some cannot discern between a noble or mean action; or if they can, the attribute it to some false or dishonorable motive, which tends rather to lessen his reputation than exalt it. Others purposely misrepresent or conceal it; and in instance every little failing or imperfection in an illustrious character, to convince others that eh promise they bestow on him is unmerited. It has been observed, that those who seek fame the most, have the least success. A desire of fame is considered as a poor motive to a noble action, and as a mark of but little magnanimity and bravery of mind. It denotes a mind less concerned for interest of the public then its own. Some also will take an ill natured pleasure in arousing his inclinations. When he appears ambitious of praise instead of
