What a pity that a 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 induging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons, MUST, before contempia-

pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds OF THIS
painful disease it too often happens that an ILL.,

He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable Of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trif1ing month
after month"; or as long the smallest fee can be
obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment or
