One gejs a broken head, another a bloody nofe, while the mother, poor woman, exerts herfelf unremittingly to pleafe them all— Now Peter that's very bad, why did you ftrike Widiam with your fpcOu ?—Well3 my dear, here's a lump of fugar, and Peter you mull prom ife never to hurt him again— Mamma I m have fome too, it was Wil¬ liam's blame—ue threw fome miik upon me — Look at James, burning his (locking in the (love—Now James, if 1 come, I (hall give it you.—It is in this way that the day- is fnent—they are always domineering over each other, and in.lltr.d of obeying their motjher, they are continually oppofing her •onunarids—thev confider her a great re- nraint upon their inclinations, and frequent¬ ly give her much imnecefTary veiiation. The father rarely interferes, and inllead of exerc- iuo l|,er authority, and enforcing obedience, thv- pains-taking mother is forever employed in giving them long counfels, which they difocgard or do not uodertland. She tells thepn that this is not pretty, and that good boy$ are obedient to their fathers and moth¬ ers.-—Ytt rs the rnofl indulgent parents have fome fyflem peculiar to themfelves, fome i- deas; 0f authority, there is one thing in which thefe pe-fons are both unneceffanly ftriS. T/'he boys are obliged to eat whatever is let before ihein, whether they like it. or not. Here there is no indulgence, no lefpecx for antipathy ; the dilh b not V/ithdrawn, and if their obftinacy fhoold exceed their hun- 'j-c-r, it is fet apart for the next meal.—This is the ooly point of authority infilled upon by the father, and he has by fome flrange reafonincr convinced the mother of its pro- BIOGRAPHY. ----0CG§000— MRS. CONSTANTIA GRIERSON^ • WAS, born in Ireland ; and as Mrs. Bar¬ ber judicioufly remarks, \7ascne of the moll extraordinaiy women that either this age, or perhaps any other, ever produced. She died in the year 1733, at the age of 27, and was allowed long before to be an excellent fcholar, not only in Greek and Roman lite¬ rature, but in hillory, divinity, philolbphy and mathematics. <4 Mrs. Gr'cifon, (fays (lie) gave a proof of her knowledge in thr Latin tongue, by her dedication of the Dub¬ lin edition of Tacitus to the lord Carteret, and by that of Terence to his fon ; to whom (he likewife wrote a Greek epigram. She wrote feveral fine poems in Engliih, on which me fet fo little value, that ihe neglected to leave copies behind her but of very few. What makes her character the more remark¬ able is, that Hie role to this eminence of learn¬ ing mertly by the force of her own genius and continual application. She was not on¬ ly happy in n fine imagination, a great mem¬ ory, an excellent underlfandmg, and an ex¬ act judgment, but had all thefe crowned by virtue and piety : fhe was too learned to be vain, too wife to be conceited, too knowing and too clear fighted to be irreligious. If heaven had fpared her life, and bleifed her Wrtb'hcUltn, v.'iiicil'lbc vv^nutl lor t.>u)e yean* before her deith, there is good realon to think fhe won'd have made as great a figure in the learned world, a3 any of her lex are recorded to have done. As her learning and abilities raifed her above her own fex, lb they left her no room to envy any ; on the con¬ trary, her del'ght was to fee others excel. She was always ready to advife and direct thofe who applied to her, and was herfelf willing to be advifed. So little d'd fhe val- priety.—Now Mr. Reckoner, I confider this a very great evil, and I am not convin- . . cod of its * ifdom. It has indeed been laid uc herielf «P9n n<* uncommon excellencies bv orave authority, that children fhould be aceuHomed to a" kinds of foo$, beeaufe it mnv happen that in the courfe of their lives they diOike.

Betides, iuch occurrences produce of themfelves the neceffary preparation.— The devourer of horfes and dog-? in the time of a fit^e has his natural antipathies conquer¬ ed by the pains of hunger—here the horrors ot death fland on one iide and prejudice on the other.

IC, l8lC« hater in treat for a flice cf bread and butter, Oi a little milk ; his requeft is rejected with difdain.—Another diflikes fapan, but he is fovced to eat of it as often as it is placed be- f'ire him. The third cannot bear filh, but in the particular of eating, a rigid equality pi wails. It is true that this variety of taftea appears to create additional troub'e, but it is father in appearance than in reality—for thffiy would be pleafed with the funp'eil food in exch T'-iere ts ctffant enforcement of this law, they are frimetimes obliged to eat made dilhes highly fe^foi.ed, and fu.ely it is not very likely that th-ey will be reduced in any fittiatfoo <f life to eat fuch victuals or to Uarve.—Their ♦hat it has often recalled to mv mind a fine reflection of a Frencli author, that great ge* niufes fiiould be fupmor to their own abii* itits. 1 perfuadc myfelf, that this fhort ac¬ count of io extraordinary a woman, of whom much more might have been feid, will not be difagreeable to my readers : nor can I omit what I think ia greatly to lord Carte* ret's honor, ih'nt when he was lord lieuten¬ ant: of Ireland, he obtained a patent for Mr. Grierfon, her hufband, to be the king's prin¬ ter j and to dillinguifh and reward her un¬ common merit, had her life in. it. She was miltrefs of Hebrew, Greek, Latin arid French, and undcrllooi the mathematics as well as moll mea ; and what made thefe extraordi¬ nary talents yet more fnrpri'fing was, that her parents were poorj illiterate, country people ; fo that her learning appeared like the gift poured out on the apoltles, of fpeak- iti'-r ail languages without the pains ot flady; or, like the intuitive knowledge of the an¬ gels ; yet, imfmuch a* the p >wer of mira¬ cles are ceafed, we mull allow fhe ufed hu¬ man means for fuch great and excellent ac¬ quitments. And yet, in a long friendship, and familiarity with her, 1 could never ob¬ tain a fatisfactory account from her on this Head ; only fhe faid; fhe had received fome littleinflruction from the minifter of the par- illi, when fhe could fpare time from her nee- dlesvork. to which fhe was clofely kept by her mother. She wrote elegantlv both in vt-rfe and profe, and fome of the moil delight¬ ful hours I c-er pafTrd were in the converfa- tion of this female philofopher." ■ autre for that which thry diflike.— is alfo fomethinnr ridiculous in the in- Ei.rc-TRicirr.
