If this character be faithfully drawn (and that it is, none who knew him will deny,) oh! what a bleffed hope hath that man in his death! and how does it become all ranks, and all ages, but, above all, how does it become those who profess themselves, like him, the ministers of the Gofpel, to emulate his zeal, his charity, his piety, and his humility!"

Dr. Craick attended him in the morning, and Dr. Dick, of Alexandria, and Dr. Brown, of Port Tobacco, were foon after called in. Every medical affistance was offered, but without the defired effect. His Jaft fcene correfponded with the whole ter nor of his life. Not a groan nor a complaint efcaped him, in extreme diftrefs. With perfect refignation, and a full poffeffion of his reafon, he clofed his well-fpent life. His funeral was celebrated with every mark of honour and regret so justly due to his virtues. The corpfe was interred in the family-vault, in an elevated lawn on the banks of the Potomak..

He was barmless, fond of an immenfe queue wig in full powder, and, in the last moment, wore a diamond ring of tolerable water. Thefe are propenfities common to foreigners. He played well on several inftruments, and particularly excelled on his favourite, the Bute. Early in life, he was fond of pleafure, and ufed to exult to the latt on his foriner enjoyments; he became fucceffively a Buck, Odd-fellow, Briton, and at last a Free Mafon. On the good intentions of the latter he loved to expatiate, but was unable to give good reafons. With fome of thefe he conftantly found a fupper; and, to the lefs confiderate part of them, was a fund of entertaiment, and the butt of their ribaldry, which was too often the cafe with him among individual friends, At length he broke apace, his faculties evinced a perceptible decay, and he was perfuaded that the alteration of the ftyle in England reduced his age juft eleven years. He died at 84, in St. Paul's church-yard.

Mrs. Rowe feemed to have inherited her father's heroic fpirit, as the bore with uncommon magnanimity her reverte of fortune. Her income very fmall; herself, and her worthy daughter Mrs. Dolaport, lived without even a parish girl to aflift them; and, during her laft illness, would have fuffered extremely, from poverty, but for the mabounded unwearied charity and generofity of the prefeat inhabitants of that long-famed mansion, Chertsey abbey, Lady Young, and her excellent daughter, mother and fifter of Sir Willian Young, author of the Hiftory of Greece.

At Chellea, in her 9cth year, Mrs. Mary Bradley, a maiden lady. She was long an inhabitant of Kensington; where, as in every place of her occafional refidence, the is ftill known for a very peculiar degree of extensive beneficence. To the forrowfut and afflicted the liberally administered comfort, with that filing cheerfainers and benignity of manner which evidently refulted from the heart, and gave the boon conferved a double value; to the fick, medicines and advice; to the deftitute, clo thing; and, in a variety of instances, to the dead pauper, at her own expence, a coffin and a grave. Her fortune, which was not abundant, but eafy and genteel, the rendered ample in its bleffings to others; for, the knew no ufe, as the felt no peceffity, of hoarding in a mafs the means of benefit, withheld from thofe who really wanted them. It was her maxim, and her warm acknowledgement, that "freely he had received, and therefore the would as freely give."

An age of almost three generations only enlarged her fphere of bounty, and increafed her zeal to fulfil its claims. She felt the force of this call, and avowed it by a renewed alacrity, in proportion as her health and firengti declined toward the tomb. Her remains, agreeably to her exprefs defire, are deposited in the parith-church of Kenfington; to which, and to the humbler inhabitants, like her valued and intimate friend, Dr. Jortin, her piety was an ornament, and her whole life the best example. Of many, yet living, as they tread the marble where the refts, the fi'eut language of the heart will be: "From acquaintance, or from repert, I knew her well; a Chriftian indeed, the lived without oftentation and without guile. Her faith was fertile of every correfpondent fruit; and her delight, in imitation of her divine exemplar, was only to do good.' One, who long had the honour of her friendship, who never infulted her excellent understanding by flattery whilft the lived, enjoys this folemn occafion to pour forth the just tribute of grateful eulogy; for, the hears it not. Cara Maria, Vale!
