Events that would extremely disconcert almost any other man, scarcely moved him at all. Those who witnessed his behaviour under some of the severest trials of life, must be convinced that the sentiment, that " God does all things well, " was deeply engraven on his heart. His life was a chequered scene, and presented frequent opportunities for the exercise of his principles. No man ever began life with fairer prospects; not a cloud was to be seen in his horizon. Possessed of talents, reputation,... fortune, and friends, he bid fair to pass his days in the sunshine of prosperity, and to have his evening gilded by the beams of happiness. But misfortune overtook him, and he was stripped of all his comforts. In old age, when the weary soul seeks repose, calamity came upon DAVID RAMSAY. him, and was the constant inmate of his house. A son, grown to manhood, who promised fair to imitate liis father's virtues, was sud- denly cut down. A tender and excellent wife, the mother of his eight surviving cliildren, was torn from his embrace, and consigned to the tomb.
