[Page] 84 depending on him for a maintenance, but destitute of every mean of support. He perceived the distressing situation of his family, and the regret and horror he felt for his misconduct, which was the cause of his misery, were so distracting as almost to deprive him of his reason. Being determined to relinquish gaming forever, he pursued his trade for some time in hopes of reestablishing his fortune; but he found it difficult to pursue his business with pleasure or attention. A long habit of indolence and intemperance had much injured his constitution; and his stock was too small to admit of great profits in trade. After some time, finding his success in back too small to maintain his family in its former magnificence, and his love of gaming being not extinguished, he resolved, in despair to try once more his success at it, in hopes of regaining what he had lost. And having lost all principles ofjustice as well as health and fortune, he determined to take every possible advantage of his companions when there was

[Page] 82 Aleator was the son of a wealthy merchant of good character and reputation. He had received a good education, and was instructed in the principle duties of a virtuous life. His father taught him the necessary duties and qualifications of a mercantile profession, which he intended to pursue, and was always designed. At the age of nineteen he was set up in business with a good capital, and everything seemed to promise success. But a practice, which has ruined thousands of families, to which he was much inclined in his youth, began now to interrupt his tranquility, and to destroy the happenings of his family. He practiced gaming at first as an amusement, but it soon began to be a considerable part of his business, and proved at last to be the cause of his ruin. He had the misfortune to live in a neighborhood much inclined to gaming as well as himself, and where cards and dine claimed the attention of every night. Among such company it may reasonably be supposed, that his mercantile

[Page] 83 concerns were attended to with reluctance, and frequently relinquished to give place for recreations better adapted to his inclination. Home was soon rendered intolerable, when the tedious hours were not occupied with cards and drinking; for his trade afforded him no amusement, and was pursued only when necessity or want compelled him to it. By thus spending his time and money in continued indolence, dissipation and intemperance, his health was impaired, his morals corrupted, and his fortune nearly exhausted. After passing the greater part of the night without sleep, and in excessive drinking, he was unfit for burying whatever inclination he might have for it. But he had as little inclination as ability; and in thus neglecting a trade which requires great care and unremitting diligence, it was reduced to the lowest ebb. What remained of his fortune was soon exhausted by gaming and dissipation; and he was reduced to the condition of having a wife and three children

[Page] 80 animosity and irregularly which seem to characterize the lower classes of society. Quarreling, drinking and gaming are common practices among them, when met on any public occasion, and their usual effects are loss of health, of fortune, of reputation and morals, evils of the most destructive and pernicious nature; but which might have been avoided if music and dancing had been their amusements. For who ever knew of such evils to be caused by dancing? You will reply, that many have injured their health by [xxxxx]moderate dancing, and by exposing themselves to the weather when overheated with the exercise. This being granted, I would next ask, whether this excess is so common, or whether the evils resulting from it, are so pernicious as there caused by drinking, gaming, or any other vulgar practice? Dancing and music, besides their effects on the external behavior, have also a tendency to harmonize the disposition, to meliorate the natural ferocity of the temper, and to
