ABSTRACT
The remainder of the day was passed with much cheerfulness by all, except those who had that within, which society could not alleviate. The grief of those who sympathize with the misfortunes of others, however dear they may be, will occasionally give way to the joy of the moment, or the state of a feeling mind would be miserable indeed; but the internal anguish that wrings the heart of the sufferer disturbs the hour of repose, and poisons the cup of mirth in every season and in every place:
‘It presses to the memory Like damned guilty deeds to sinner’s minds.’ 172 /
