My father had certainly sunk under this evil, as certainly as he had done under that of my CHRISTIAN NAME----had he not been rescued out of it, as he was out of that, by a fresh evil------the misfortune of my brother _Bobby's_ death.
What is the life of man! Is it not to shift from side to side? ------from sorrow to sorrow? ------to button up one cause of vexation------and unbutton another?
