Ium had been set in motion at the creation,
and at every motion new world had been
created down to the present time, the whole
myriads OF millions in all their Respondent

There is certain member of Congress who
is getting to be the theme of mirth, and a
standing jest on account Of his unfortunate
convivial propensities. Would il not be bet

talk to him, to reason with him, AMI to be-
seech him as brother to preserve his self re-

the jest OF society? Experience has shewn
that many an incorporate man, approached
IN the right tody, has Immediately forsaken
the error OF his way, and gilded the eye of
sister or broken hearted mother with a
smile instead OF a tear. Are there none of

courage to take him by the hand, and make
an effort to reclaim him? Let them remcm-

who take advantage of his weakness to bleed
him freely OF his money. but who, under other
circumstances, would leave him to die in the
poor house. .g a*r
