The curse seems to be upon them. The sins of their fathers are visited upon their heads. Their vicious tendencies are too strong to be suppressed, at least while young. They cannot be tamed more than can the untamable brutes. Now such persons exercise, involuntarily, perhaps, a most unfavorable influence upon others. They radiate and difi"use vice and evil around them, and none but souls of ethe- real temper, — none but those who are a law unto themselves, can live uninjured in their baleful at...mosphere. This class is much larger than the other, though it is growing smaller ; but, unfortu- 19 nately, it famishes a considerable number of subjects for houses of reformation. Youths of a third class are much more numerous, for the two classes of persons, just mentioned, Avhose natures are so strongly marked by good or evil, who diffuse around them virtue or vice, are few compared with the whole people. By far the greatest number are born without any strong and decided tendency to virtue or vice.
