 word escaped him in the.deUriuq:i vof a fever, 

 that had not a reft^r^nce to his f^voyrite occu^ 

 pation. Thus when the scientific mind rcr 

 covers from a paroxysm of re:vene, it h^s the 

 satisfaction of reflecting that Jts tin^e has been 

 well eniployed j^ ^hat if it lias not been medi" 

 tating some new effort of its powers, it has, 

 perhaps, 'been dwelling on some elegant 

 thought, or glowing description treasured up 

 in study, or heard in convers^t^IoR. And,..i|gi 

 like manner, when the r<^v€jie of the virtuous 

 man is at an end, he finds, that, while it 

 lasted, he has either been forming a good 

 purpose, or acting over in fancy, a benevolent 

 deed. 



Far diiferent trains of thought pass throi^gh 

 the imaginations of the ignorant, the vicious, 

 the sensual. If their minds are not mechani- 

 cally driven to recollections that' are full of 

 remorse and bittern<3ss, the highest pleas^rp^ 

 of their revelries -are the remembrance pf soi^ie 

 frivolous enjoyment, or anticipatiofi of ihe 

 pampering of vSom€ base appetite. An Apicivis
