a mod excellent communication
on the fubjeft. And a commit
tee of the afieinbly, in an admi

ferences in the fyItems- of iVir-

His landlord and tome other cre
ditors heard of what they called
•his elopement. They feiued on
bis furniture, and his wife and
child were turned to the door.
Within a few days after the mo
ther was delivered of a feccnd
child in; a garret. When weak-
ntfs permitted her to rife, (lie I
left two naked children and
wandered into the ftreets as a
common beggar. Inftead of
obtaining afliitance, flic was re
proached ?s an abandoned vag
abond. In cefpair, fhe went in
to a flicp and attempted to carry
off a fmall piece of linen. She
was feized, tried, and condemn

This difference of character
does not arrife from the differ

are equally capable of perform

one would make a fortune, while
the other was engaged in the
calculation.
