was considered by the Directors of the
Institution. who voted that she should

paper. lie says, "The follies, vices and conse-
quent miseries, Of muIltudes dipIayed in news

many beacons continually burning to turn others
from the rock ON which they have been ship
wrecked. What more powerful dissuasive from
suspicion, jealousy and anger, than the story OF
one friend murdered by another in duel What
caution likely to be more effectual against gam
bling and profiigacy, than the mournu relation
of execution the fate of despairing sur
