communication from Your correspondent
|"Quinine," which I read with ~"melancholy
interest" Through the medium of your
paper, I beg leave to say q few eonsoling
words to Quinine, and if they should not
have a "balmy influence" over his turpid
spirits, I hope that he will at least appre-
ciate my motive.
Ihave often read in works of fiction a.
bout "Roses nipped in the bud" &c &C.,
which invariably caused me to feel sad
But never have my sympathetic organs
been so forcibly affected, as when read the
sequel of this unfortunate love- Oh mys-
ferrous love! thou AIT an uncertain treasure,
and thy pleasures are always mingled with
pain.
1t appears Quinine that you have wasted
your Lre upon the "desert air." and have
knelt at a naughty and arrogant shrine.
Despair not friend! He who rules your des-
tiny has ordained it should BE- so, and you.
have probably been rescued from a snare
which would have blasted yonr happiness
forever. Ibefieve in the maxim that "what
is, is right" and who knows but this which
now seems an unfortunate occurrence, will
soon prove TO be an inestinable blessing.
Reason with yourselfthus, and your spir-
its will be as calm and gay as usual.
I think friend Quinine, that you have been
rather imprudent in confessing your morti-
~fcation to the world, more particularly, to.
your "Angelic Dulcenia," for if she be as
cruel and uncharitable as you represent her,
your NORTH atioB will be a qualification to
her; whereas if you had manifested a!
dOnf-sare-no-hOw feeling, she perhaps
would have been as much mortified, as she
appears to make you; but it is too late to re-
call the past, and 1t behooves you to be as
nearly ~reconciled as possible, and although
you have drank deeply in the cup of mise
ry, yet you will find upon calm reflection,
that your case is not as desperate, as you at
imagined. If your present hopes have
been foiled, hope again; for by it, you will
be encouraged to "press on."
One would suppose that your sensibilisies
have been scared and deadened, and that
you will never again enter the field as a
for "angelic hearts," Sweet SEN
thou parent of virtue, source of all
that is pleasing in our joys, or painful in
our SORROWS; It's from thee, we derive the
concerns, the disinterested cares.
hat extend beyond ourselves, and enable
to participate in the emotions of sorrows
md joys, not our own. He who is void of
hee, must be a monster in the human FORM.
nd a stranger to those affections of mind,
which exalt our species, and which are the
ources of the most refined pleasures. =
Pardon me Quinine for having branched
ut from the subject, it was done from an
impulse of the moment. If what / have !
aid does not have tue desired effect, rHl4
cave your case with old Father Time. :
