BIOGRAPHICAL SKETOH
OF
STEPHEN GIRARD.
STEPHEN GIRARD was born at Bordeaux, in France, in, or about the year 1746. Little is known of the early period of his life; and his education is supposed to have been scanty and deficient; whether owing to the neglect of his parents, or the natural wayward- ness of youth, cannot now be known. A spirit of enterprise, a love of adventure, and a thirst of new scenes and untried situations, very carly distinguished him; and no doubt, as early impelled him to leave his native land, for foreign climes and novel modes of exist- ence. It has been said, but with what truth we are not now enabled to state, that parental oppression embittered the shelter of his do- mestic roof, and inspired him with the first thought of emigration; but it is so easy for the high temperament of youth, to fancy that se- vere which is only just, and to plead the tyranny of parents, in justi- fication of their own want of filial piety, that we are bound on all occasions, to listen to such narratives as the usual figments of the young, who are naturally disposed to embellish every thing with the tints of romance; and let fancy riot, where facts are obscured from their knowledge. It is most likely, taking into consideration the pe- culiar structure of the mind of Stephen Girard, that he was impelled by the natural enterprise of his vigorous spirit, to quit the parenta! roof, and to launch himself at once into the boundless ocean of life, to taste its bitterest waters, or reach in safety its most secure har- bour.
