e Reflettions of a Batchelor, retired , into the Country. AM 2 Man turn’d of fifty Years of Age, and have all this While liv’d what they call a fingle Life.—I do not pretend to make an Apology for it, but in Juftice to myfelf would let you koow, that my remain- ing fo long a Batchelor is not owing to any Prejudice, I have taken againt the married State, not to a Want of Refpeét to the fair Sex :—1 have been from fourteen Years old, fteadily employed in Bufinefs; and a conftant Run of Succefs in my Affairs, has fo deeply fix’d my whole Attention {0 them, that to {peak the Trath, I have never allow’d my- felf Time to think of altering my Condition. Being at this Time entirely contented with my Share of Fortune, I have laid afide all Bufinefs, and am retired into the Country : I have now Leifure to recolleft my paft Con- du, and muft own, I fee Caufe to regret ~ my not entering into Wedlock at the proper Seafon of Life ;—for allowing that the Ex- pences of a Family, might have prevented my being fo rich as I am at prefent, yet the Pleafures of Social Life which I conceive are enjoy’d in the higheft Perfeftion in that State far exceed the Satisfa&tion which I am now Carriv'd to, of knowing myfelf to be worth FYght Thoufind Pounds Sterling. -1 am oot willing however, to reprefent my- felf in the View of a Mifer : For I have al- ways contributed freely and largely to the public Expence—I have fet many. poor Men to wotk, and thereby given Bread to them and their Families.—I have never.refufed my fall Quota, on all Occafions, for the Relief or Comfort of fuch as needed—this Reflection affords me folid Happinefs.—Moreover 1 Have not lived altogether infenfible to the Pleafure of Society ; for amidit ail the Hur- ries of Bufinefs, I have generally allow’d my- 7.1F, pare of one Evening at leaft ina Week, for the Enjoyuo~: >f my Fiiend.—=But when 5 CUT TIUGT IO W i1 8sE Stiarc of {ocial Pleafure T might have dad in a well chofen Partner—( for what Warmth of Friendfhip fubfifts between the happy Pair bevond what others feel! W hat mutual Confidence! What generous Sympathy in Joysand Sorrows of this mutable State! ) Iam periwaded, that tho’ the Ballance of my Trade is fo largely in my Favour, that of Happinefs is much a- gainit me.— o I have had the Satisfaltion of introducing feveral young Men,who were my Apprentices, into the World.—As they ferv'd me faith- fully, I did well for them, and gave them Bufinefs ; and as they are now in flourifhing Circumftances, my Conne&ion with them is ina great Meafure broken, and my Concern for them abated.—I might by thisTime have introduced a Son of my own into the buly World, for whofe Welfare, the Powers of my Mind would have been vigoroufly altive, even in feeble Age How great Hap- pine§s fhould 1 have enjoy’d, in fecing his Profperity ! or how much greater, in feeling his Misforcunes and relieving them. I fpent lalt Evening, with a Neighbour of mine, who is a Man of good Uaderftanding, and Poficffes a great deal of the focial Tem- per—FHe difcover’d the fondeft Affetion for his little Daughter, of about five Years old 5 and entertain’d us pare of the Evening with her Prattle : I could not help taking Notice #a what an artful Manner he addreffed the Fittle Urchin, and what an happy Method he took, to imprefs upon the Mind even of an Infant, whileat Play, the Principles of Virtue and Beaevolence.—At length, with an Air of good Breeding, he turned, and afk’d my Par- don, for detaining my Atténtion fo long upon what he imagin’d mightt not be agreeable, to one who never felt /che paternal Affetion : and added, that he/tookan unutterable Plea- se in cultivating/ the Mind of his Daughter, ‘Taken up adrift - in Hopes hereafter of making. fome Man happy,like himfelf,in one of the moft amiable Women in the World. This fame Neighbour of mine, ( who tho’ employ’d in Country Life, is really a Man of a fine Tafte,) in the Courfe of Converfati- on, mention’d the greater Variety of Relati- ons, in which the married Man is connecled with the human Species, than the Batchelor, and confequently how much oftner theSprings of focial Affe@ion muft be mov’d in the one than the other : After obferving feveral very pertinent Inftances, he took Notice of one which fenfibly touch’d nry Mind— There lives, faid he, in a neighbouring Town, a worthy old Man—He was aStranger to me a few Years ago, but is now the Objeét of my Veneration and Efteem—1I value him highly, for the Sake of my Wife,for he is her Father; I feel befides,the warmeftSentiments.of Grati- tude to him, being myfelf under Obligation to him very little, if any Thing, lefs than to my natural Parent— Since the one was In-* ftrumental of giving me Being—the other Happinefs. : If the Defign of the ParenT of the Uni- verfe in giving Being to his Creatures, was to communicate Happinefs ; they who marry from Principle and with Judgmenr,in a good Meafure imitateHim : For tho’l do not deny, that it is in the Power of us who are unmar- ried, to be eminently ufeful, which would be to deny known Fa&s ; yet I cannot think we are capable of producing any more than en- joying fo great a Quantity of Happinefs in the Creation: And therefore I will conclude my Letter, with advifing thofe of our Frater- nity, who are young, to enter into that moft ufeful and happy State, as early as their Cir- cumftances in Life will admit of it,.—— SS9 LPLPLPLPEOVISTHDD ADVERTISEMENTS.
