Mn. RANDOLPH, abroad and at ! omc.
On his arrival m 1 e>tnlo:i uli eyes were si tuck with
hij figure in the stieets. The human form from all
pa^ti ol the globe was to be seen there, but nothing
like Ins. It (teemed fo belong la a class by ilsvii; long,
lean, and loose jointed—:« withered lace, a shrunken
h«'Jv, and the whole expicsgiou peculiar ;uit! startling.
Nobody passed him without turning lo take anotbei

When lie got to JLoodon he was seir.ed with an ambi
tion, which took directions as hold and as sly as the
passion in him was alternately keen anti fulgetty, to
ticow himself into distinguished circles. His inbreti
aod long-indulged selfishness, in conjunction with Hits
irascible cast of his feelings and foulness of his tongue,
had rooted into his entire corporeal aud intellectual
existence, invincible baurers to the success of this am
bition, To the sensibilities, to (he restraints, bodily
and of mind—to the multiplied obligations arid habi
tudes, to al! the anxious and assiduous cultivation, that
go to make up the gentleman’s demeanor, he was a
sirauser. His irregular and undisciplined temper, was
the parent of rudeness in him, and his vanity hurried
him into offences against good sense anu decorum. The
bland spirit and reciprocal forbearance oj polished in
tercourse, seemed (o be altogether incomprehensible to
his perceptions. it is certain that they wete remote
hour t».s practice. Tine dignity frowued him fiom hep
presence. Her sanctuary was profaned at his fantastic
•approach. True urbanity could never impart i:s
charms to the actions of une whoso physical idiosyncra
sy prevented his being at peace with himself, and thn
perverseness of whoso moral nature placed hirn at use
with others. Something there was in his countenance,
which bespoke the hitter consciousness he had of his'
daurn upon earth; of the secret torments under Wlick
he writhed, of the matchless delights from which he
K';.s excluded. To all tenderness towards the feelings
of others, ho was constitutionally dead- The transient
courtesy that ho was enforced to e ountcrfeii. could uo.t
