He was from his infancy, and throughout his whole life, well known for his uniformly charitable dis- position, and, as an instance of his sympathetic conduct, it is affirmed, that when a young man with his father at Friars, he one day in his walks met a poor beggar. The wind was cold and sharp, and the snow lying deep upon the ground, and while the miserable beggar was medi- tating where he would shelter himself from the storm, he espied a gentleman coming towards him, of whom he asked alms. Pitying the poor man, he not only gave him money, but also took his shoes and stockings from off his own feet, and gave them al8< to the beggar, re- marklOg-" And take them. also; I have another pair. it home! after which he joyfully r eturned home shoe- less.
