MARRIAGE.
Reflect that Il sound mind and body arc the
most necessary requisites TO promote connub"l
happiness Indeed, without these the Journey

the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
anoth:' is blightcd with our own
DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.
| Whc1 misguided and in2rudcnt vohry OF
plcnsur ads that lie has imblbcd the seeds Of
this plI ;ul disease, 1t too often happens that an

death puts period to his dreadful suffering by
sending him to that undiscovered country "irom

Itis melancholy fact that thousands PIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
