SINGULAR AND GENUINE AFFLICTION.

A6ENTLEMAN (past the Meridian of Life),
who has hitherto, by his Literary Qualifications and.
• Attainments, supported himself with deceucy and comfort, is
now, by the afflicting Dispensations of Providetite, reduced
to the last stage of physical Debility and pecuniary Indi-
ence. For upwards of *Eight Months, he has struggled
with a most /severe, painful, and dangerous illness; pros-
trate the greater part of the time, on the Couch of Misery and
Pain. • , _ _

The walk of Literature, in which he was principally en-
gaged, was that of Contributor to some of the moat respect-,
able Publie-Prints, chiefly as a Parliamentary Reporter, in
which Capacity he has attended either House more than
Twenty Years. But the IYErLOR A BLE state of Health to
which heis reduced, not only totally precludes him from
engaging in a Business of the kind, whip ii,vOlves-no small
degree of physical Trouble, but from making -any intellec-
tual exertion in the least degree adequate to his support:
• To constitute the Climax of the Advertiser's 'Affliction, his
Wife, prinCipally froth her anxious S:7licitude, .and close
Attendance on him, during so long an interval, is recently
attacked by .4 violent Fever, accompanied by a dangerous pui
monary Atfetion,-unier which she now lingers. tie shrinks
