having pent their spring tire in
Vain pursulits, the noble qualities
of ml;id an heart were left to
perish in the slouhi of sin, and in
the desert of ii,dolence. The
minds of such beauties seldom
soarl higher than the latest novel;
Ie thoughts totally engrossed
with dress and the fashions of the
day. They are constantly devis
