I'VE SEEN HER SMILE.
I've seen her smile—and thought it bliss
To bask within such sunlight rays,
To cute!' the graceful features 'move
Upon the lovely face to gaze.
I've seen her smile, and all around
Confess'd the rapture gallica inspire,
Each tongue delighting in her praise,
Each look betraying inward fire.
I've seen her weep--tho large bright tear
Stood sparkling in her eye of blue ;
Her quiv`ring lips were cold and pale,
Her cheeks had lost their roseate hue.,..
But still so,lovely did she seem,
So beauteous, e'en in sorrow's fears,
That let who will have Sylvia's smiles,
I covet, only, Sylvia's tears.

EARLY DISAPPOINTMENT.
BY MISS E. BOGART.
"In aught that tries the heart,
how few can stand the proof:"
The first disappointment of the heart is
the hardest to be . borne. It is that which
falls like a blight on the warmest and best

the pleasure and gaieties of life, there is still
a cold and barren place on the mind, where
hope will not blossom, nor expectation put
forth her powers, nor fancy spring again in
to beauty and, fertility. Love is, doubtless,
in youth the strongest passion. I t takes en
tire possession of the heart and thoughts. It
is the root on which happiness is grafted, and
on which memory is engraved With its - most
indelible. - Brint. The histories of its power
are spread over the whole earth. They are
taken from every station and conditibn of life
and painted in all the.variety of form and co-
lorine of which the tuvention'of the mind is.,
capable. We behold in infancy its Eden-like
paradise or bliss, its wild tornados of destruc
tion and violence,lts morbid melancholy, its
sullen pride, its shrinking timidity, its re
morseless vengeance ; all these have been
portrayed to the imagination in vivid colors,
and in thousands of instances; still there are
other thousands yot Unrelated, and shades
of difference in each, which [wise continually

"The cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while."
The gloomy misanthrope, the reckless vote
ry of dissipation, the miserable victim of the
demon of intemperance, have often been
caused by some early disappointment of the'
,heart; where, perhaps, " many a withering
thought lies hid," of which the world knows
not, thinks not, cares not. They were too
dream-like in their existence among those
over thoughts,
"MI outward bound,
Midst Plaids and rocks, and storms, to cruise for
pleasure."
These reflections were suggested to my
mind by the circumstances of meeting lately
with an old friend, whom I had not seen for
years.—but I have written a long

pleasures, and pursuits, became strange to
each other; and as the common topics of dis-•
cussion between us were divested of their
interests, the pen by degrees was entirely
neglected. I

awl as beauty and wealth are the most sought

ments of delightful rei iiniscence, wimp. the
happy scenes of childhood and the power
and witchery of early feelings come home
to my heart. Indeed, our first impressions
of love, or 'friendship, or happiness, or mise
ry, are perhaps never entirely erased from
our minds; however they may be sonwtimes
carried away and apparently lost in the
whirlpool of the-world; there are still lucid
intervals of calmness & retlection,..% . hen they
are thrown back upon the ineinory,& resume
their triumphal* though transitory reign.
It is not many months since I met with
___the_friewL_ef whom I have been speaking.
We were passim , . c . aecldenlalFroug
through the
same place, and before 1 knew of her being
there, I heard that she was cominu . e' to see
me. In an instant the image of Cecilia
Moreland arose in fancy,
"As bright to my heart as 'twos to my eyes."
I saw her as she was when I last beheld
her. I forgot that she was no longer Ce
cilia Moreland,
and knew not that wish a
change of name, there was scarcely a trace
remaining of , her former self. I awaited
her arrival with the utmost impatience.—
Every knock started me—every sound of
approaching steps fixed my eyes on the
door. It was at length opened, and a lady
entered, leading by the hand a little boy of
- Wren years of age. I sprang forward to
meet her, while the exclamation involunta
rily escaped
,my lips, "Oh, Cecilia, how
you are altered !"—She burst into tears.
The answer was eloquent, and needed no
1 explanation. We sat down and spoke of
the length_of the time which had intervened
since our last meeting ; of the changes
Which had taken place within that period,
--umi-the--41itirent-tiestinies--by -which-e,ach
had since been followed. . .

picture of memory vanished. I wanted to
ask her if she - had been -happy -- , -- -buteould
not. 1 - felt that it was a chord that would
not bear vib.ution. The question was in
volved in too many delicate associations,
which I knew could not be separated in her
mind. It was evident that her once buoy
ant spirits had been crushed and broken,
and her light heart divested of its gay and
blissful feelings; and I was sure that there.
n.ust. have been some deep and undermining
cause which had produced these effects;
something too near Hong —which workal
daily anehourly, and could not be cast off.
Our brief intercourse was both pleasant and
painful. We renewed our protestations of
friendship with sincerity and interest, and
once more parted to pursue our course in
opposite directions. IVe were never to
meet again. 1 spoke afterwards of our in
terview, and the impression it had left upon
my mind",to oneTvto hadtiiavii tJeCiritirroin

"Ah." replied she, "Cecilia has seen her
best days.. She has got a husband who
will harrass her to death, with his teasing
and irritating temper. He possesses one of
those•fault finding dispositions which can
never be suited with any tiling; amid his

And yet no similar visitation of God's wrath has

Penitentiaries: Investigations, 11111lifi with a view
to this subject, have shown that by far the larger
proportion of the tenants - of these receptacles of
crime, have been brought there by indulging in
this vice. Nor need this surprise us; for, when a
man is intoxicated, his reason is dethroned; re
flection is thrown off her poise; and free course is
given to all the wild and unlicensed propensities
of his nature. Intemperence necessarily tends
to the depravation and ultimately to the extinctiei
of the moral principle: and in exact proportion - as
you weaken the sense of moral, obligation, will .
be the growth ofintmoral dispositions and practi
ces. Did you ever know a man who was even
occasionally addicted to this vice,have very nice
sense of Moral duty? And, did you ever know a
man who was become its habitual votary and slave
who was not ripe for the perpetration of any, and
every enormity, under its maddening influence?
It is a fact well, known- to legal mon that more
than two thirds of the criminals arraigned at the
bar of the Quarter Sessions; are brought there by-
Intemperance. Root out this evil, and the office
of Prosecuting Attorney would became a mere
sinecure. 'A strict and careful calculation of the
Volume of evil - springing from this source
would startle and affright even the most careless
observer. It was remarked by Judge Rush, upon
a certain occasion, "th..l he did not recollect an
instance since his being concerned in the admin
istration of justice, of a single person. being put
on his trial for manslaughter, which did not mn..
ginute in drunkenness; and but few instances of
trial for murder, where the crime did Nit spring
from the same unhappy . source." In the "Prison .

Take. another view of the subject. It is esti.
mated that upwards offifty millions of gallons of
ardeid spirits aro consumed in the United States,
annually: and of these, more than forty millions
- are of our own production. These 40,000,000 of
gallons are retailed, at the very lowest calculation,
at 20,000,000 of dollars. • Twenty millions of dol
lars expended annually in the United States: And
for what? For tiny-great purposes .or national
utility or pnhlic advitittage? No: but for the pur
pose of peopling yoariaolz; effilling the land with
orhne and poverty and shame; for the purpose of
brutalizing-from two to three hundred.thousand of
our citizens, and, depriving the country of their
productive labour to the amount of at least twenty.
five et - Wiens of dollars; and finally, fbr the purpose
of launching into eternity; for which it is to be
feared too many of them ate unprepared, no fewer
than twenty-live thousand poisons annually, the
victims of thin most disgusting, most degrading,
and most disgrUciful of vices.
Inttfroperance is a fruitful source of poverty and
