Swallowed with despair and filed with the mel
ancholy reelection that the happiness of another

When the misguided and imprudent yotary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, il too often happens that an i'll

ters him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility can alone bsfriend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pectiniary substance, keep him trif1ing month
after month, or as long as the smallest fee be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment
