Tipping Brown, M. D.
parable from real worth , which represses the just effusions of conviction , and softens the colours which impartial observation might supply . Sensibly involved in this predicament , we reluctantly refrain from delineating a character which we could draw with equal precision and pleasure ; and conclude with merely saying , that , for professional abilities , for classic and philosophical acquisitions , for amenity of disposition , politeness of manners , and cordiality of friendship , wherever Doctor BROWN is most intimatel y known , there he is most sincerely esteemed and respected .

SIR ,, SINCE you have admitted the complaints of an Old Batchelor * , you surely will not treat an Old Maid with less civility . I am one of that despised sisterhood , very much against my inclination I assure you ; and if you please will give you my history in a few words . When quite a girl , I was in a similar situation to that of Mr . Sorrowfill
. ' s Eliza . My lover had spared no pain ' s to make a lasting impression on my heart , and succeeded so well that I was for many years in the habit of drawing involuntary comparisons in his favour . from the appearance of every man who said civil things to me , and with the constancy of an heroine , kept his idea ' unmixed with baser matter' till he was pleased to quit my vivacious ladyshi the bloom
p , of two and twenty yet glowing on my cheek , for a deformed piece of . antiquity attractive for nothing but " her wealth . Touched by that as if bythe spear of Ithuriel , he started up into his proper form , and I lost him for ever . I did , as I suppose most young women do in such cases : in public I laughed away all appearance of grief , and staid up at nights to weep unobserved ; my sorrow some time after
assumed a softer tone , and I wrote very pathetic odes to despair , ingratitude , & c . & c . till time and pride swept away the last trace of tenderness , and left ou the tablet of the mind nothing by which to remember the circumstance , except a tolerable quantity ' of doublerefined contempt . By this time 1 was in the sober latitude of thirty , and near being
put upon the woeful list of stale virginity , when a man many years older than myself paid me particular attention , and repressed for a " time the prognostics of the withered community , who feared I mig ht yet escape them . From the similarity of-our tastes and dispositions , 1 " began to hope that I mi ght , though late , meet with happiness , or at least avoid the ridicule attendant on Oid-maidism , of which I had a very absurd dread .
