Swallowed with despair and filled with the mel

cation and respectabity, can alone betrend him.
He falls into the hands Of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifiing month

obtained, and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh his CALLING disappointment, or
