OUT OF DATE.
r Looking over the papers dining the
week, we recollect seeing in some one of
them a labored eulogium on a drinking
song, which the editor designates with the
classic name of an Anacreontic. We be
lieve that word is Greek for getting drunk
and other anseendy and incontinent
practices; and we suppose in the opinion
of the learned, lie who anacreonizes
himself into delirium tremens, is a great
deal better citizen than the man who
bathes his soul in whiskey till he brings
on what in the vernacular is called the hor
son!. It is vas:ly more moral, genteel,
and proper to travel to perdition with A
pollo's wreath about the brow, and in
company with those reverend topers, Bac
chug and Silenus, than to get drunk with
a hat with a hole in the rim, and in the so
ciety of ruin coveys and companions.
'There are differences, look you,' and we
suppose that these must be connected as
among them. For our own part, however
if a man becomes unfit for his business
and social relations•—a poor husband—a
bad father—a bad citizen— and all from
'being nobody's enemy but his own,' it
makes little difference, that we can see,
in what way lie arrives at a result so
melancholy. 1
The postitution of poetry and music to
the ruin of its votaries has gone far enough
'1 - he sentiment of the age is no longer tot
erant toward decking a skeleton with
such false ornaments as conceal its fright
ful character. The world is tired of see
ing the mouth of a ghastly pit covered and
concealed with rose leaves, to tempt the
unwary to the plunge into moral death.
Beautiful poetry, words well collocated,
and fitly chosen ler their harmony, him-
I gee luxuriant in beauty, and the very spir
it of living music over all, cannot excuse
a literary trifle, however elegant, the
moral of which is that it is not only strict
IY proper, but highly commendable to
I ',sown reason in wine, and sink the man
lin the helpless brute. As these interest..
ing pursuits formed part of the worship of
the much lauded ancients, it is not to be
wotidet ed that a portion of their literature
abounds in the inudation of such practi- 1
ces; but as the modern code of morals re- 1
cognises no such imperative duties, it is i
to be wondered that the attainment , of'.
what is called a liberal education makes
it necessary to imbibe louse morality.
Cartloads of missels have been hurled
I at the poor common inebriate, who dares
to drink plebian liquors, while the loon
lain of dissipation at which the learned
1 and the polite have been christened, is sa
' cred from the rude breath of itivettive.
The root of the evil is left untouched and
unat tempted. The literary institutions of
this and other Christian counties have
manufactured more confirmed drunkards
than any other cases have created. flow
often do we meet, antler the most disgus
ting garb of blackguardisni and filth, with
the wreck of a fine mind, and the shreds
of an education, which might have given
the degraded possessor a high stand a
mong his fellows, had lie not chosen, rath
er, his place among the swine.
We recollect meeting at an obscure
tavern in the county, last Summer, an ap•
ropos example in proof of these remarks.
Chance had led us there to make some in•
quiry about the road, and we found the
bar-room solely occupied by an unshaven
and unkempt loafer, who was reading a
newspaper; the latest date by the way,
that had been received in that forgotte'
nook. He was a perfect personific — '"

to surprise us, at the extent of his erudi

topics of news and politics, the soundness
of his comments, and the pertinence of his
inquiries. We were beguiled into half
an hour's converse With um. It WE s ad

We forgot his rag s and his unseemly exte

of his mind. A spell was on us; which
was not dispelled until, upon the entrance
of the landlord, he stopped short in a dis

dent fellow'--which may be sometimes
true, though it should not exactly be told
—then reply with a few stanza's of Miss
Landon's sung:
'There is in southern climes a breeze.
That sweeps with changeless course the seas;
Fixed to one poir.t—oh faithful gale 1
Thou art not for my wandering sail.'
"If she bursts out into a loud fit of
laughter, as I once knew a lady do, then
join her by all means; for you may be sure
that she ;s an ill-bred hoyden or a down
right idiot. But if, unable to speak, grief
at having caused you pain makes her burst
into tears —as a little Swedish girl once
did when such a proposal was made to
her—then join her if you like, for the
chances are that you have lost one worth
weeping for."
From the Rural Repository:
MODESTY.
Modesty is the must beautiful and in
teresting of the flowers of virtue, that can
adorn and dignify the female mind. It
adds a charm to every other virtue, and
sheds a sweet infiuenci around its posses
sor. There is no person whose heart is
so alienated from purity, se sunk in vice,
as not to respect and i everence modesty
in a temate. Even the base libertine, who
revels and - exults in his infamous triumphs
over female purity and innocence—even
he, who only assumes the garb of virtue
that he may entice within his serpent folds
his innocent and unsuspecting victims,
who wantonly and deliberately bends eve
ry energy of his mind, of that mind which
was given to him by his Creator for high
and noble uses, to accomplish the ruin of
the young, the virtuois and the lovely of
the temale sex, and after having by his
unhallowed arts succeeded in his hellish
tans, with a spirit worthy ut the archfiend
himself, triumphs and boasts of the ruin
he has effected; yes, laughs and exults o
ver the graves of his wretched victims,
torn from the embraces of fond friends.
