God continue the happiness of this charming pair! Their behaviour to each other is just what I would wish it to be; tender, affectionate, without fulsome fondness. He cannot be more respectful to the dear creature now, than he was before mar-riage: but from his present behaviour, I dare answer for him, that he will not be less so: and yet he is so lively, that he has all the young man in his behaviour, whenever occasions call for relaxation: even when subjects require seriousness, as they do sometimes, in conversations between Mrs. Shirley, Mrs. Selby, Mr. Deane, and him; his seriousness, as Mrs. Shirley herself observed in his absence, is attended with such vivacity, and intermingled with such entertaining illustrations, all naturally arising from and falling into the subject, that he is sure of every one’s attention and admiration.

The features of his manly face, and the turn of his fine eye, observed she, on another occasion, are cast for pity, and not for censure. And let me add a speech of his, when he was called upon to cen-sure a person, on a slight representation of facts:

‘ The whole matter is not before us, said he: we know not what motives he may have to plead by way of extenuation, though he may not be able entirely to excuse himself. But, as it appears to me, 1 would not have done so ’

But what, my dear, am I iihout? Are they not my brother’s praises that I am expatiating u]ion? Was 1 ever to be trusted with that subject? is there no man, I have been asked, that is like 3’our bro-ther? He, I have answered, is most likely to re — Kcmble him, who has an unbounded charity, and universal benevolence, to men of all professions; and who, imitating the Divinity, regards the heart, rather than the h.iad, and much more than either rank or fortune, though it were princely; and yet is not a leveller, but thinks that rank or degree intitles a man who is not utterly unworthy of both, to irespect.

I will write one more letter, and then give way to other affairs,

I never thought I should have been such a scrib-bler. But the correspondence between my brother and Dr. Bartlett; into which we were all so eager to peep; that of this dear creature with her Lucy, which so much entertained us, and which led us, in her absence, to wish to continue the series of it; the story of Clementina so interesting; all our sus-penses so affecting; and the state of this our lovely friend’s heart so peculiar; and the desire of amusing you in your confinement: all these, together, led me on. But now one letter more shall conclude my task.
