My dear friends, am bound to the con.

If the world were intended for house of

blackbird, every body would be born ne
gro, the ocean would be vast ink-pot, a
black veil be drawn over the face of heav-
en-, and an everlasting string ofcrape hung

assert, from the neither extremity OF my
heart, that man was no more made to 60
growing and mourning through this world
than canary bird was created to sing al
