Whilft public characters defcend to the 
tomb amidft the tumult of public applaufe, 
and even notorious profiigacy, if aifociated 
with rank and talent, fteals a fort of illuftrious 
infamy, it is mucn to be lamented that pri- 
vale worth—that excellent-conduct in obfcure 
life, finks to the grave, unnoticed and wares 
corded. [he hero, or the orator, few can imiw 
tate; but the exemplary pattern 
*¢ In the {mall circie, the domeftic fphere,*” 
all may contemplate with advantage. In this 
view, a few particulars relative to Mrs. Colte 
man, wife of Mr. Coltman, late of the New- 
works, Leicefter, who departed this life on 
the gth initant, may not be altogether -ufe- 
lets ; for, though she poffeticd none of thofe 
dazzling qualities which command public ad- 
Miration, ine was rich in the excellencies 
which fecure private efteem. The early 
morning or her life was pafled amidit the tran- 
quilicenes, che beneficial and cheerful occus 
pations, of the country, under the eye of a jue 
dicious father, and an exemplary mother.— 
Here were nurtured a {weetnefs of difpofition, 
and an activity of mind, which fecuredg en- 
joyment to youth, and irradiated the lateft li-- 
mit of extreme old age. She had early to con- 
tend with trials of a very painful nature ;—— 
thefe called forth an uncommon fortitude, 
which was ever after the ornament of her 
character ; yet fhe poffeffed all that genuine 
feeling which prompts to-exertion and aid, 
and mingled the moft fincere tenderneis with 
the moft unfhaken frmnefs. Her mind had 
never been weakened by romantic reading, 
or f{cenic reprefentations of fictitious woe.— 
The real fuiferer was the object of her pity, 
and the wretched family, in undecorated dif- 
trefs, engaged her fympathy, and exercifed 
her benevolence, She was accuftomed to early 
rifing from her youth, and was a patiern of 
activity, economy,-andorder. She inipired 
her children with the tendereft regard, and 
was not more the mother than the friend of 
her daughters. In the mott important and 
neareft relation, the wife man hath fweetly 
characterized her :—‘*‘ If there be kinaneis, 
mecknels, and comfort, in her tongue, then 
is not her hudband like other men ; he get- 
teth a help unto himfelf, and a pillar of reft.” 
Her’s was that happy good fenie, which ena-
