Indianapolis Locomotive (Newspaper) - December 23, 1848, Indianapolis, IndianaThat heart filled with penile memories of the Hal Cyon Days of youth. Remembrance from out the Mist of time will linger round and Hallow those fond recollections.

Without n rival the Iloilo of the evening she shone a Blair is n Stur when there s but one Star shining in the so Many were the suitors for her hand Bat the Quot Best looking Young Man about town Quot was thin to Content himself with one set. But turn to from this scene of revelry where Light and joyous the winged hours flew by unconsciously carrying nothing with them but regret at the swiftness of their flight. Turn we to another Placo of resort another Circle where Charity presides. Not the gentle goddess who with footsteps Light As Dew seeks the cot of the Humble who smooths the sorrows and administers to the destitute whose glances like the Sun of heaven gives Light and life and warmth on All around it whose smile Falls on the poor like the gentle summer rain on the parched and arid Earth whose approach is heralded with Joy whose pause is in gladness and whose departure is with the blessings of the destitute. Not upon her do we look but upon an Over grown and bloated idol whose shr inc. Loaded with the useless pageantry of the Rich whose Temple is door acid with costliness by the crowd of worshippers who administer to her ostentation. Terrible in her virtue withering in her influences i mighty in her favors her numerous temples Are but hotbeds of gossip where it is forced into slander which like the fabled Upas conveys its Poison to the very vitals of All within its reach. The fire Sido is invaded and All the tender tics that Cluster round it is but food for its rapacity. The ashes of Many fond Hopes and Bright anticipations Are scattered on the broken Hearth Stone. The Domestic Circle is intruded and its venom breathed Over it. And oven the sacredness of the sepulchre affords no Asylum for its victim. A a Trilles Light As air a arc seized upon and blown into shapes horrible and frightful the foibles of youth Are emblazoned with evil harmless actions assume the appearance of pc Mcdian cd malice innocent recreations arc promptings of the Devil Youthful indiscretions Are tortured into heinous misdeeds.

They Are All under the control of careful and experienced professors and they show Well for the in Terp Riso of our City.
