The personal ner- | rative of this master-genius or inventor must | for ever be separated from the scala intellec- | tus he was perpetually ascending; and the | domestic history of this creative mind must be consigned to the most humiliating chap- ter in the volume of human life; a chapter | already sufficiently enlarged, and which has refulably proved how the greatest minds are { | i ‘not freed from the infirmities of the most} | vulgar. The parent of our philosphy is now to be | considered in a new light, one which others | do not appear to have observed. My re- searches into contempc | have often convinced me that his philosophi- cal works, in his own days and among his own countrymen, were not only not compre- | hended, but often ridiculed, and sometimes | reprobated ; that they were the occasion of many slights and mortifications which this | depreciated man endured; but that from a very early period in his life, to that last res cord of his feelings which appears in his will, this ‘servant of posterity,’ as he propheti- cally called himself, sustained his mighty spirit with the confidence of his own posthu- mous greatness. Bacon cast his views through the maturity of ages, and perhaps | amidst the sceptics and rejectors of his plans, may have felt at times all that idolatry of which has now consecrated his philso- fam ., phical works. At college, Bacon discovered how “ that scrap of Grecian knowledge, the peripatetic philosophy,’ and the scholastic babble, could not serve the ends and purposes of know- ledge; that svilogisms were not things, and that a new Jogic might teach us to invent and judge by induction. He found that theories were to be built upon experiments When a young man, abroad, he began to make those observations on nature, which afterwards led on the foundations of the new philosophy. At sixteen he philosophized at twenty-six, he had framed his system into some form : and after forty years of continued jabors, untimshed to bis last hour, he left behind sufficient to found the great philosophical reformation. On his entrance into active life, study was not however his prime object. With his for- him The covetous can be good to no man; but he isto none so cruel as himself if thou art industrious to procure gold, be gene: ous in the disposal of it; man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unio another. } i | | \ | If there be a vice greater than the hoard. | ing up of riches, it is the employing them to | useless purpuses PROFUSION He that prodigally iavishes that which he | hath to spare, robneth the poor of what He who squandereth away his treasure | refuseth the means to do good; he denieth | res ward is in their hand, whose end is ne ether than his own happiness. It is more difficult to be happy with riches, than to be at ease under the want of them man governeth himself much easier in poverty than in abundance.

Know that thyseif feelest its greatest tors | ment Revenge gnaweth the heart of him who | 1s infected with it; while he against whom it | iS aimed remaineth easy, It is unjest in the anguish it inflicteth; therefore nature intended it not for thee. The man who meditateth revenge, is not | content with the mischief he hath received. He addeth to his anguish the punishment due unto another; while he whom he seeketh to | hurt, gooth his way laughing; he maketh himself merry at this addition to his misery. Revenge is painful in the intent, and it 1s dangerous in the execution ; seldom doth the axe fall where he who iifted it up intended ; aud lo! he remembereth not that it must | | Pecoil against himself. Whilst the revengeful see¢keth his enemy's | hurt, he oftentimes procureth his own de- struction ; while heaimeth at one of the eyes, of his adversary, lo! he putteth out both his | own his end, he jamenteth The fear of justice taketh away the peace of his own suul; the cire to hide him, from it des stroyeth that of his friend. Can the death of thine adversary satiate thy hatred? Can the setting him at rest if he athkaia not Wouldst thou make him sorry for his of he owneth not thy superiority ; nor feeleth he more the power of thy wrath In revenge there snould be a triumph of the aveuger, and he who hath injured him should feel his displeasure; he should suffer pain | from it, and should repent him cf the cause. } This is the revenge inspired from anger’ but that which maketh thee great, is con- tempt Murder from an injury eriseth only from cowardice ; he who inflicteth it, feareth thal the enemy may live, and avenge himself. Death endeth the quarrel, but restoreth not the reputation ; killing is au act of caution not of courage, it may be safe, but it is not honourable Nothing is so easy as to revenge an offence: nothing is so honorable as to pardon it The greatest victory man can obtain is over retorteth itupon him who offereth When thou me fitatest revenge, thou con- | fesseth that thou feelest the wrong: when thou complaineth, acknowlegest thyself burt by it: meanst thou toadd triumph pride of thy enemy? That cannot be an injury when its not felt, how then can he who depiseth it, revenge it. If thou think it dishonorable to bear anet- fence, more is in thy power ; thou mayest con- quer it. Good offices will makes a man ashamed to be thine enemy ; greatness of sou! wil! terrify him from the thought of hurting thee. : The greater the wrong, the more glory is im partoning it; and by how much more justifianle would be revenge, by so much the more honour ie in clemyncy.

Elizabeth, in the height of that political prudence which marked her character, was swayed hy the vulgar notion of Cecil, and believed that Bacon, who afterwards filled the situation both of Solicitor General and Lord Chancel- lor, was ‘a man rather of show than depth.’ | We have recently been told by a great law- | yer that ‘ Bacon was & master.’ On the accession of James the First, when Bacon still found the same party obstructing his political advancement, he appears, in some momentary fit of disgust, to bave medi- 4 circumstance which has happenedto several of our men of genius, during a fever of solitary indignation.

Upon men of small understanding nothing | makes so deep an impression as what they do not understand, When fear rises to a certain height it pro- duces the same effect as temerity. Fear never applies the proper remedy. We should never play with favor; we can not too closely embrace it when it is real, por fly (oo far from it when it is false. A man whe mistrusts himself never truly confides in any one. Men never believe others can do what they cannot do thems selves The effects of weakness are inconceivable, and | maintain that they are far yaster than those of the most violent passions. I have remarked that ill-founded enmeties are ever the worst. The reason of this is clear. As offences of that kind exist only in the imagination, they never fail te grow and swell in that receptacle, too fruittul in evil fancies. To common-place people the extraordinary appears possible only after it has been ex- ecuted. GRATITUDE. To the generous mind the heaviest debt ts that of gratitude, when it is not in our power to repay it.—Frrnklin Now it was well said, whoever said it, ‘That he who hith the loan of money has not repaid it, and ke who has repaid has not the loan; but he who has acknowledged a | kindness has it still, and he who has a feels He that preaches gratitude pleads the cause both of God and men; for without it ; we can neither be sociable nor religious.— | Seneca We seldom find people ungrateful so long | as we are in a condition to render them service — Rochefoucauld. Cicero calls gratitude the mother of virtue ; reckons it the most capital of all duties ; and words ‘grateful’ and ‘good’ synonymous terms, inseparably united the same character.—Joln Bate He remembers thea b mu upied rememb thetr as in uses the enetits of hi with hig re- faults —Be- who Ss ‘oo h oc ar { ranger j The law of the pleasure in having done | anvthing for another is, that the one almost | immediately forgets baving given, and the | other remembers eternally having received —Seneca He who receives 4 good turn should never forget it; he who does one shonid never ra member it.—Charron that their gratitude is a species of revenge and they return benefits, n because recom pense is A pleasure, Dul because Obligation is a pain.—Jo/nson Ihe feeling of gratitude has all the ardor of a passion in nobie hearts fehilles Poins celot It is another's fauh if he be ungrateful, but itis mine if 1 do not give.

But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not forthe protit that attends it.—Sen- eca Gratitude 1s a duty which ought to he paid, but which none have a right to expect — Rousseau. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which spings from the soul; and the heart of man knoweth none more fragrant.

In that delightful Latin letter to Father Pulgentio, where, with the simplicity of true grandeur, he takes a view of all his works, and in which he describes himself as times succeeding hase ‘one who served posterity,’ in communicat- ing his past and his future designs, he adds that ‘they require some ages for the ripening ofthem' There, while he despairs of finish his Instauration, how nobly he despairs: * Of the perfecting this I have cast away all hopes; but in future ages, perhaps, the de- sign may bud again.’ And he concludes by avowing, that the zeal and constancy of his mind in the great design, after so many vears, hai never become cold and indifferent. He remembers how, forty years ago, he had com- posed a juvenile work about those things, which with confidence, but too pompous a title, he had called Temporis Partus Mazi- mue; the great birth of time! Besides ihe public dedication of this Novum Organum to James the First, he accompanied it with a private letter.
