POOR DEVILS.

We can scarcely conceive of a more
miserable being, ono who has so powerful
a temptation to hang or " drown himself"
Of working men. The very fortune that has
placed him above the necessity oflab0r, has
imposed upon him greater curse than il
no had been doomed to the galleys. He
works harder to get rid of himself, than he
would TO forge an anchor. Companion he
has none, for the industrious hold no
friendship with the idle. He roams from
pillar to post, from parlor to counting
house, from friend to acquaintance, from
Change and Insurance Offices, to the
Aihenaum and Reading Rooms, finding no
rest for the solcs of his feet nor the verte-
bra ofhis back his soul is disquieted with
in him; he would iain be- merry, but mirIh
without companionship is questionable joy
ance, and his gaiety is repressed and snbdu-
ed by lack Of sympalhisers, until the poor
ennuiM1 is driven to melancholy madness.
Such man has our honest conmiscration,
for we pity his imbeciliiy and dependence.
The honest but needy laborcr, whose daily
task must be daily completed, before he
can look forward to cessation from toll, is
happier in his sincwey strength and cheer
full industry, than it ever entered into the
independent idler TO suppose or conceive.
There is another class of men who de-
serve neither our commiseration, sympa-
thy. nor pity, who arc miserable by choice.
and of no value to society. We allnde TO
those who have lived a life ofpcnurious &C.
libacy, until the property amassed by mig
eardiy savings and self-moriifying depriva-
tons. hovers over them by day and by
night in visions of disgust, disquietude and
fear. These are they who never listen ia
the petition Of the widow nor the cry Of the
orphan, whose charities end wherO they
began, at home, if he may be said to have
a home, who has no feelings in community
with the world or it's families. We have in

rs most respectfully socifed by the snscriber, to
i an INVALUABLE PREPARATION,

For thy part. never presume 70 say. my
origin is such, my property is such; the
basis Of man is his knowledge.
