Bowmanville May, 187"· A stronger to the domestic habits of England des1rn1g to ascertain in wbat urns1sts that comfort, security, and independence of which we are 11ot slow to boast, conhl scarcely be directed more apprnpr1ately than to the homes of some of our opulent fauuhes connected w1 th trade or commerce. The family about to be described was situated Ill the happy medrnm betwixt the formaht1es of rank, an<l the exigencies of business in its practical deta1la, and ID this po~nt1on had long n1a1nta1ned o.n honorable place. Charles Ora'Vford, the head ot the family, was a trne Englt~h ~entlernan. 1-lis ancestry, his education, and esp~c1ally his 1nd1v1dunl tendencies of habit an<l character, entitled him to this d1stinchon. But be was more than this-be was a Cbr1st1an gentleman ; and , standing aa hs did at the head of a nun1erous and well-appointed household, there w9e no \v1sh nearer his heart thau that all who came w1thm the sphere of hIB influence, should also be Christians in heart and in life It is not necessary to describe the man· s1on in which ~Ir. Ora\\ ford hvcd. His fan11ly are of more importance to us now It HJ enough to say, that nothing was want· mg m that large an.l hberal dwellmg to render it attrachve to a numerous circle of friends, nncl vuntorEl, and that these, how· ever varied their 1nd1v1dual tastes wight be, could always find both amuoement and rn· tereat beneath the wealthy bre1Ver'a hosp1t able roof, Indeed, it was generally esteemed a pr1v1l~ge to enJOY the a.cqnrnntance at tht! Crawfords ; and 1! occas10nally might be found seated at their board, those "ho thought the dot..'leahc arrangements of the family a httle too strict, such guests were apt to be· come so charmed w1 th the easy and intelh· gent conversation al way s encouraged. there, so eensible of the dehcate and never Ja1hng kindne~s which prevailed, or so beguiled by the variety and abundance of the means provided for their eojoyment, that they went away very much disposed to forgive the Cra\vforde their religion, seeing that it made ne1ther thcmaelvea llor their friend· the Iese cheerful and happy. In som~what close prox1m1ty to Mr. Orawfortfs spacious mansion und beautiful ground~, stood the large brewery where bis father's and his grandfather's ample fortunes had been made Here he was him· self der1v1ng 1mmense profits from the earne sour1.1e 1 and here also Sb hoped to es .. tabhah his eldest son to carry on tho same lucrative concern after he should himself retire fron1 Lus1ness. Mr. Crawford was not .. barned of his busme,. Why should he be ..barned 1 Had not many of the moat respecta bl<i mem· bera of Enghsh soc1ety-aome of England'· best patriots J yes, and so1ne of hei: best Christian philanthropists too,been brel\ers 1 And did not this long estabhshed, success· ful, and ably-conducted busmeas, enable its present proprietor to do an'\mount of good which would have appeared almost 111crtd1ble to any one "ho could have seen in pr1 vate what Mr Ora\\ ford actually did, and that with free and \V1lhng heart, to\varrts befriending the destitute, and reclnun1ng the lost, under every form of m1eery 1 want, and crime 1 Although liberal in the extreme," Mr. Crawford was by no n1eansostentatlou ~ 1 and much of bis noble benevolence \VO.S kuo\.\n only to bunself. His nawe as a co11tributor was however nlmo.st u.s n1nch valued 1n some cases n.e hie pecurnary assistance , and hence that name might be seen standing foremost wherevet there "\\ias a good cause to be served , and especially where the obJeCt was to snatch the v1ct1ws of early temptation out of the fearful consequenceg of their own folly. There was but one well-known benevo lent Inl:!t1tution \\hose advocates found ht· Ile ayrnpath> m their appeals to Mr Craw· ford, lie did not retuse occasionally to dole out to tben1 a small amount of pecuniary he] p. He even went so far as to "ish them well. But he did not hke 'thcir extreme mode of proceeding,' as he often said ; uud to the m the cordlal am1l~ the w1lhog ear, and the hand of true ft! llowslup \Ytr~ always wablmg Th··· ph1lant1nopi.ts were the advueatea of total ubstinenc =.
