NV dear fricnds--I am almost in
duccd to believe that some people,
instead OF being supplied with heats,
have nothing but gizzards hlled with
grit and gravel. They appear to
have just dined upon pebbles and
iron filings, and are always laborlng

Nothing goes right with ,hem--every
thing is wrong. The milk of mercy
scars upon their stomachs-they turn
up flleir noses at the sweets Of saliva

--spurn friendly solicitude-and care
no more for soft soap and sympathy
than dog does for dollar. All
they wish is, to be allowed the priv,
lege Of fretting undisturbed by friend
or foe unchecked by fear, and un
swaycd by favor. They fret for iea'
