A Vision.
I .____
There ca eto my spirit a dream
As to prop Ire
wand sages of yore;
On the bo mof Time's rapid stream ~.
I passed t uturity's shore.
The land Live e was fragrant and mild,
Not a cloud dimmed the blue of the sky :
All nature in joyousness smiled
As my dream-back went noiselessly by.
And methougbt that I came to a land
Which a counterpart seemed of our own ;
I stood on its wave-beaten strand
While the tide my frail vessel hord on.
As t gazed on the picture so fair,
A change was brought over the scene,
There was anguish, and wo, and despair,
'Where gladness and beauty had been.
Methnught that their bnndmen awoke,
As the tempest awakes in its *nth.
Their fetters, as burning flaxibroke,
And terror and blood marked their path.
They had tarried; but justice came not;
They had hoped. but their hopes were in vain;
Tney had wrongs which could not be forgot
While their forms bore thefetter and chain.
*They had watched for 'The hOur"—it had come;
For "The Man" —he was there in his pride;
They arose, and the tyrant's fair home
In the blood of the tyr:ant was dyed.'
•
And methought that an angel there came,
Who bore a bright sword in his hand,
' And addressing the dreamer by name
Thus spoke the All Wise Oue's command.
" Return to thy people, and say.
They have worshipped the gods of their lust,
They have turned from my statue away
. And trampled my law in the dust.
"The'poor they have robbed of their toil.
They.have bartered my image for gold,
They have made ofthe helpless a spoil,
And the birthnight of liberty sold.
"They fast in their hypocrite way;
They pray as the proud Phansee;
The offering and homage they pa, _
Are all unaccepted by me.
" Go warn them unless they repent '
Of dune evil, and turn to the Lord,
Thu a freedom to them shall be sent
01 the pestilence, famine, and sword.
" Go tell them what here his been ,hown
Of the fruits of oppressions death-tree ;
And warn them such fate is their own
['they let not the captive - go free."

The spell of the dream-land was broke,
And I tell of the things I - have seen.

I
these inquiries, have only to say, that disease
was there and near unto 'death;.' too; but it
was not the. physical constitution upon which it
was preying..
Pour young men were there seated around a
table, above which was suspended a lamp, whose
sickly light bound them as with a spell—their
eyes, weary with continual watching, were fasten
ed upon each other with jealous and suspecting
looks; for ohl they aro engaged playing, and

passes between them, and nut a sound was heard
save, now and anon, a half uttered oath of the
loser, falloweikby the ill suppressed esultationd
of his more fortunate companion. As each gams
was finished, another forthwith commenced with
a full determination that it should be the last r
ciatil at length, one of them stopped and leaning
his head forward rested it upon his bands.
Without, the-night -storm staged with increased
violetce ; but within wai a more dreadful tempest,:
rolling its blackened wave'o'er the.sickened soul—
the cards were held but lightly within his hands,
and with a kind of indifference, he seemed to hesi
tate: Come," said one of them, A deal oat,
why do you keep us waiting." _ As this question
was asked him, be pressed his hand for a moment
upon his - feverish brow, where might be traced
indications of qualities, capacitating him for a
more noble sphere than that of a gamester ; end
then throwing the cards upon the table, he arose
and addressed his cOmpanions. Calm, solemnly
and stately he stood before them, with the sinceri
ty and t resolution of his soul pictured upon his
features—his.voice, which was at first tremulous,
became strengthened, as the consciousness of the
propriety of his course became impressed upon his
mind.
No," said to, "too long already have we
thus played, and for one, I inn now determined
to sever the fascinating chain that has bound me.
Night after night has passed like this, and now
let us pause and reflect. Does a thought of the
time thus squandered, afford us pleasure or saris.
faction Have we been benefited either in body
or mind 'I Let our sunken eyes and throbbing
temples answer for the former, and our vacant
and wandering thoughts for the latter! Are we
aught more exalted in our own estimation I If
so, why do we feel abashed end stricken beneath
the searching glance of virtuous respectability
Do we honor or respect each other — No! we
too well know the dishonest means, which attend
our course, to honor or respect those who employ
them ! On the contrary, how much might we
have gained—what a valuable fund of knowledge
might we have acquired, had we nightly employed
the time thus wasted; worse than wasted in this.
as I long have thought, unhallowed and detestable
Cowie ! Nor is tins all; but the practice is one
which opens a door to ()Very species of vice, and
are we certain that we shall nut enter! We are
not; and hence, let us this night resolve, that we
will never again touch those detestable things; for
it is by proceeding in this manner, and by this
atone, that we can avoid those necessary—yes, I
repeat it—necessary evils which follow, and shun
disgrace, ruin and despair!"
When he had done speaking, two of the young
man arose, expressed their appiobationPf his lan
guage and avowed their willingness to adopt his
resolution, The fourth kept back—though he
saw truth in what his companion bad said, yet he
wished not to deny himself the privilege of some
times engaging in this amusement, as be was
pleased to call it; and again, there was something
of too solemn a inature in the vow, which his
companions had
hi
in presence of the All
seeing Eye, for taint to join them with impunity.
Years have pasied-since that night in which
those three youn men girded on an armor to
protect them from . the many temptations and al
!elements ever off r ed at a gaming table. They
are now respectah e men, holding public office,
and possessing the confidence and esteem of the.
community in,whieli they reside. But where is
the fourth? Look within the gloomy walls of the
State's Prison of Ohio, and see that emaciated
form and haggard face, which bespeak the work
ings of a mlnd resembling .• the troubled sea when
iVeannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and
dirt!" -Ask the wretch what brought him there,
and ho will point you to the gaming stand. Wt
was there," he will say, "that I took the first step
in my.mareer of vice—it was there, I first learned
to practice the arts of deceit, and it was there, too,
that three of my companions, who had become
convinced of the inevitable consequences which
would result. from such a practice, besought me to
leave it as they had resolved to du; but their
entreaties were unavailing—l trusted in my own
strength to avert those evils; but alas! you see
that it has failed me, and here I em;—a miserable,
a ruined being! ,
Reader, do you frequent the gaming table! If
so. read the above tale of truth, and reflect. Com
pare the course and attainments of one party,
with the-career and degredation of the other; and
choose you, this day "which course shall be thine ;
resting assured, if honesty, industry, and upright
ness are your choice, you will reap a beneficent
reward ; while on the other hand, if you aro still
disposed to follow on in the course which you are
now pursuing, you will be caught in the snares
which are spread around yotti•and precipitated in
to a labyrinth of wo! Listen, then; to the voice
of reason, self-interest and duty;—urepent, now,

you . within the place. of mural rectitude, whao
the bright halo apace will ever be around your

of the country is beginning to feel the ruinous `

ports of woolen manufactures (Mtn Frauciaiii
creased sixty-one percent. over that of 1839; and
the export of cotton increased seventy-lour per
cent. over that of the preceding year. The
crease of Manufactures in France must greatly
interfere with the manufacturing business of Eng

distress prevailing in the English manufacturing
districts.
