yet not affluent father, was trained up under 
his immediate auspices: for as to school- 
learning, properly so called, she had byt 
little. Her father had himself received a 
good classical education, and united, with a 
correct taste, the greatest gentleness of man- 
ners with benevolence of heart. With such 
a father to live for 22 years, and not ‘catch a 
great share of his mind and manners, is next 
to impossible. As might be expected, hig 
caughter soon made such progress in every 
accomplishment which could render woman 
amiable, that:she became the delight of her 
father; and her company and acguaintance 
was sought for by every one who could feck 
and distinguish worth. But this sunshine 
was of short duration. Her father fell sick, 
and, after a long period of languishment, 
died, leaving his daughter a scanty patrimony. 
Friends, however, she did not fail ‘to find. 
About two years after the death of her father, 
her husband, who now laments her loss, be- 
came acquainted with her: a similarity, not 
to say identity, of feelings and pursuits, soon 
endeared them to each other; and they be- 
came ultimately united by the tenderest ties 
of affection, esteem, and love. Her husband’s 
prospects in lite then compelled them to visit 
the metropolis, where they resided for nearly 
five years, and through many difficulties they 
struggled. .She had not been in London 
twelve months berore she was visited by the 
severe calamity of premature child-birth, suc- 
ceeded by an aphthose fever, in which she 
lay for three weeks, without hopes gf reco- 
very; but, thanks to the able advice of that 
—4 
worthy and scientific physician, Dr Robert 
Willan, she at length got through it. 
Her 
mind, however, suffered a severe injury by 
the diseases and although she lived ten years 
a.terwards, and bore five fine children, yet 
the ruins which the fever left were, to near 
Observers, very visible. At this period, hav- 
ing lain tor three weeks without the least 
consciousness of sleep, and wishing for death 
to release her from her misery, the rollowing 
Sonnet was composed in consequence of the ° 
circumstance, if not in poetical, at least in 
true colours. Ree 
O Thou, who lull’st the mind perturb’d to rest, 
Thou, eager e’en to guard the hardy bed 
Of roseate rustic, care- devoid, and bred 
To wholesome labour, pour thy woated zest— 
That zest which oit thou gay’st, unask’d, une 
sought, ° 
O pour it here, that so the bitter draught 
OF anguish might be tasteless! blunt the 
shatt : 
Of febrile poison. ‘O, with balm full fraught, 
Oblivious Sleep! on yon sad couch descend 5 
Abstract the buoyant senses, and to close 
Her waking eye lids, call, in aid, Repose, ' 
Thy younger sister ;—bid her haste to lend, 
In pity lend, with thee, her utmost power, 
To svothe the poignance of the passing 
hour,
