Sure Cure
Travel is a good invention to cure the blues and condense worldly
effects. When Cutaway went to California, "I carried," said he, "a pile
of despondency, and more baggage, boots, and boxes, than would fit out a
caravan. After an absence of just fourteen calendar months, I started
homewards, and was so boiling over with hope and fond anticipation, that
I could hardly keep in my old boots! And all the dunnage I had left,
wouldn't fill a pocket-handkerchief, or sell to a paper-maker for four
cents!"
Cutaway recommends seeing the worldy elephant, high, for settling
one's mind, and scattering goods, gold, and chattels.
