What a pity that young man, the hope OF his
country the pride of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempia-

necessary requisites to promote eonnubial hapi-
ness indeed, without these, the journey through

shadowed with despair and filled with the mel
ancholy reflection that the happiness OF another
becomes blighted with your own. =,
When the misguided and imprudent yotary OF
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, it too often happens that an IL
timed of shame or dread of discovery de-
tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, can alone befriend him
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, Who incapable of curing hlch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifing month
after month, as long as the smallest fee can DC
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, OF
