• There were four persons in the boat;-two'
of_ them college, friends of Lord Clarences,
who, had accepted an invitation to spend a
Week or two-With him in Cumberland; the
otherslwere Lady-Julia Annersley,_andjto-'
salie May.L;the latter a neighboring curate's
daughter, who had been the companion from
chid hood of Lady Julia ; and by..lier gentle
mess and aflection had won her friendship in
siriate - rei - She
Morvington Hall, and until the return of
Lord Clarence from Oxford had been a fa.'
vorite with the Countess as well as with the
Lady ',Julia; but as the young collegian be
gan to appreciate the merits of the en - raters
daughter, the opinions of the ladies suffered
some abatement; and when . Lord Clarence,
in the candor of his open heart, acknowled
ged how much he was charmed by - the un
assumind-Tr.irtups' of EWIII - ,e the Conntess
and Julia were alarmed, 'and _held secret
council to destroy'lhe influence which Ro
salie had obtained over his. heart and , miad.•
Much was halted from the visit of-Lord Cla
rence's friends; and tire attentions which one
of them,'Ernest Travers,..paid to Rosalie
were_obeitrell_by mother and 'driiighter wit
szaistattion, whilst to Clarence they were the
-first-bitter drops that fell labs cup of life.
,Before he r had learned to admire' and to
love the gentle virtues of Rosalie, he had
expressed much adffiiration of his fair eou
sin-Louisa, who had been educated with the
Auer:reline: at Morvington Hall, and been a
playmate with them and Rosalie. The
Cot:Went endeavored to.iumease the favora
ble sentiments with, which the Lady Louisa
Tallairtelfler*-as' reglad&
more forcibly' she urged the merits of Loui
sa, the - itiore forcible were the contrasts pre
seriterlin the. mind of Lord Clarence where
the image of Rosalie had become established.
Lady Julia who ,sbared her mother's opinion;
and had a remareable degree of confidence
in her•lecLend ingenuity, undertook to cor
rect-what she termedthe false, impressions of
her brother, and lead him a willing sacrifice
to the slitine of Lady 'Louisa. The latter
was accordingly invited to btorvington•ltall,
and was hourly expected at the tithe • when
Lord Clarence wus watching with intense
interest the boat of his (nen+) upon the lake.
The Lady Julia had told him that ,Rosalie
May was enchanted with'Jhe musicalgetii

• The :yoUng,,hopes he had.-foriried—the
eastles he had built in his imagine.;
lion-the`home of love , which - he had pic
tured, and ol which Rosalie May was the
presiing spirit—were broken and dispelled
by that one word. He had deemed that he
alone possessed the priceless treasure, the
heart of Rosalie; and that heart be was now
assured was another's.

.And Ore the ladies had joined their friends
in the boat, for their customary evening di
version, Lady Julia had taken an opportunity
of intimating to Rosalie the 'probability of
the marriage of her brother and Lady Louisa
NallanVilie taking place very shortly; and
that it indeed was (or the arangement of the
preliminaries that the visit of Lady Louisa
was about to take place. And what was
this to lt , salie A week had not elapsed

•
We 'Weirtii - CirTel - firraiftleii:7l
have no sympathy - for the eulogized authori
ties - of past ages, when total abstinenceform
ed, as yet, no, art-in code or christian •
metals ; andTelien even the ‘ leirned, howev
er brilliant the halo of - intellectual- glary,-
•which encircled their brows, knew al little
of the nature and claims of American tern
. perence, as the subject of an absolute Mon
einibyein the wilds - of Siberia, knows of, the
- elements of American independence. As
'well might We appeal to a Russian-serf, an
— Austrian boor or a Turkish heehaw, to de
-fine the nature of a republican government,
as 10 ancient authorities, to decide the-ques
tion of temperance. We deprecate the in
terposition of ancient or modern authorities,
-when they prove antagonistic to an enlarged •
christian morality.- We appeal to a higher
authority; to a " more sure wordi" - whichle----
as dear and distinct in its requirements, as
it ail final and infallible in its decisions. 'We
refer to the more pure; more excellent and
advanced system-of morality,..contained. in
the Gospel of Christ;;- From, this source. We. ,
will attemptto demonstrate :-
-That arch are the circumstances of the age,
that according to Gospel principles, the use of
fermented or alcoholic drinks, as a pavannax,
is an immorality, and an evil.
1. And in-order that we may at once ex
hibit the foundation of ourentire argument,
we utterly disclaim the usual mode, of re
(erring the tolerated morality. of the old
Testament, Is final and concluelve authority
in' the - case. ' WI here, assume;
,a position,
M r
which to !erne ay
, appea startling,. and
'which has hitherto remained unnoticed in
this dime - soden. -:We allude to the aekiiowf=
edged and Obvioui distinction between the elan
' dant of morality which obtained in . the Old
Testament, and that which itjequired by the
more finished (Ind developed system of' the
New. And,on this, perhaps novel position,
We base our first argument ;—a position,
which amia the excitement of partisan v ar
fare and intellectual gladiatorship, has been
too much neglected. We shall assign to it
its proper' place, and hold it up in all its
practical moment. And from it, we will
show, that if the o.'l'. in its literal sense and
practice, is to decide the morality of our day, •
the foundation of civil life, and the very ele
ments et human society would he convulsed.
In order to form a proper view of this sub
ject, we must consider a characteriatie
turn which has distingdished the administra
tion -of God, in the world. • What theologian
--what' intelligent christian does'not know,
that God, from the beginning graduated his
.revelations according to the existing state of
human society. In proportion as the moral, .
-physical and intellectual powereof man were
developed, in the same proportion lie extend-.
ad and enlarged his revelations. Thus, the
- Adamic'.corenant was admirably suited to
that primitive state otsimplicity, innocense ,
and happiness. • And, when in process. of
time, the circumstances of 'human life were '
essentially changed, and the human powers, - ,
by these circumstances Were pressed into a
more enlarged and developed exercise, the
patriarchal s. constitution, as,corresponding .
-with-that stage"eit improveMent,Nvits confer
