We have &longs;urmounted the performance
of the la&longs;t &longs;cene of our tragedy,
with le&longs;s difficulty and di&longs;tre&longs;s than I imagined.
Great numbers crouded to &longs;ee the
body of poor Harrington; they were impressed
with various emotions, for their sympathizing
&longs;orrow could not be concealed—Indeed a
man without &longs;en&longs;ibility exhibits no &longs;ign of a
&longs;oul. I was &longs;truck with admiration at the
ob&longs;ervations of the populace, and the justness
of the character they drew of the deceased.
“Alas!” &longs;aid one—“poor youth,
thou art gone. Thou wa&longs;t of a promi&longs;ing

[figure description] Page 156.[end figure description]

genius, of violent pa&longs;&longs;ions, thou wa&longs;t possesied
of a too nice &longs;en&longs;ibility, and a dread of
&longs;hame. It is only &longs;uch an one who would
take the trouble to kill him&longs;elf. Ah! poor
well natured, warm hearted, hot headed
youth—how my heart bleeds for you! We
con&longs;ider thee as the dupe of Nature, and the
&longs;acrifice of Seduction.”—The old father
hears this, and becomes overwhelmed with
&longs;hame and &longs;orrow.

THE jury which &longs;at upon the body of our
friend, after mature con&longs;ideration, brought in
their verdict SUICIDE. The rigour of the
law was not executed—the body was privately
taken away, and I &longs;aw it depo&longs;ited by
the &longs;ide of his faithful Harriot.

I SEND you inclo&longs;ed a copy of the Monumental
In&longs;cription, as written by Harrington.
I found it with many loo&longs;e papers. It contains
the &longs;tory of our unfortunate friends, and
a profitable moral is deduced from it.

THOUGH a few weeks begin to &longs;pread a
oalm over our pa&longs;&longs;ions, yet the recollection
of our misfortunes will &longs;ometimes cau&longs;e a
momentary agitation, as the ocean retains
its &longs;well, after the &longs;torm &longs;ub&longs;ides.

Adieu!

Monumental In&longs;cription.

THOU who &longs;halt wander o'er the&longs;e humble plains,
Where one kind grave their haple&longs;s du&longs;t contains,
O pa&longs;s not on—if merit claim a tear,
Or dying virtue cau&longs;e a &longs;igh &longs;incere.

Here re&longs;t their heads, con&longs;ign'd to parent earth,
Who to one common father ow'd their birth;
Unknown

[figure description] Page 158.[end figure description]

Unknown this union—Nature &longs;till pre&longs;ides.
And Sympathy unites, whom Fate divides.
They &longs;ee—they love—but heav'n their pa&longs;&longs;ion tries
Their love &longs;u&longs;tains it, but their mortal dies.
Stranger! contemplate well before you part,
And take this &longs;erious coun&longs;el to thy heart
Does &longs;ome fair female of un&longs;potted fame,
Salute thee, &longs;miling, with a father's name,
Bid her dete&longs;t the fell Seducer's wiles,
Who &longs;miles to win—and murders as he &longs;miles.
If ever wandering near this dark rece&longs;s,
Where gaurdian &longs;pirits round the ether pre&longs;s;
Where, on their urn, cele&longs;tial care de&longs;cends,
Two lovers come, whom fair &longs;ucce&longs;s attends,
“O'er the pale marble &longs;hall they join their heads,
“And drink the falling tears each other &longs;heds
“Then &longs;adly &longs;ay, with mutual pity mov'd,
“0! may we never love as the&longs;e have lov'd.”
