TUE GRAVE-YARD, OR THE
HAPPY MEETING.
"Oh! ever thus from childhood's hour,
I've seen my fondest hopes decay;
I never loved a tree nor flower,
But 'twas the first to fade away!"
Ttrn family of Mr. Hadley had been sore
ly visited by the mysterious disease that has
lately filled our land with mourning; snatch.
ing alike the tender infant and the hoary
beaded man; the statesman that fill'd high
places, and the wretch that lives by murder
and villainy.
Swiftly, and often, had the arrow of death
flown amid the late happy family at Elm-
wood cottage. And, as the father and two
sons had been called on to depart to the peo
ple—the pale nations of the dead,—the be
reaved wife and mother thought, as she re.
tired to pray, that her only daughter, the
solo prop of her journey down the pathway
of life, might be left to cheer her, as the sun
of her existence set in eternity. But the
pale king had already enrolled the name of
the lovely girl in his register of death, and
the gleamings of the'next moon played upon
her grave as she quietly slept by the side of
those she had once dearly loved.
The gales of adversity had wafted me to
the shores of America, and I had but a few
months since landed, when I determined to
take a stroll into the country. As I passed
a grave-yard, I discovered an elderly lady
enter, she did not at first perceive me. As
she turned round I saw the Marks of grief
in her features. Being quite near her I
ventured to speakt---" Madain," said "you
seek the grave of some friend, suppose—
my passing may interrupt you at such an in
teresting. moment." The tear stood in her
eye. '•Excuse me, sir," she replied, "but
grief must have vent. If you have lest a
friend, or relative, then you can bear with
me. This rose f hold, is to bloom over my
daughter's grave; but my Julia, I trust, is a
brighter flower in the paradise of her God.
Morning, noon and night, will water with
my tears this emblem of my sainted child.
Oh! sir, I am alone in the world." "Say
not so, madam," 1 replied, "your blessings
are yet greater than your griefs. Be com
tinted, you are the mother of an angel." "I
thank you, sir," said she, "for your kind
words—the thought of a reunion only sus
tains me, and kindles the same feeling in my
grtef-stricken bosom as arises in that of a
sea-tossed mariner, when his eye lights up
on a "sunny island in a stormy sea." These
four graves hold all I love on earth save one.
I know not where he is—in heaven perhaps.
But I tire you with my tale of woe, sir."—
"Proceed, madam," I replied, "eighteen
years absence from a father's roof has thrown
me amid many scenes of sorrow and of joy.
Your story, though a sad one, imparts a
melancholy pleasure."
"My native land, sir, is beyond the ocean.
We had been settled here but a short time,
when the hand of the Lord was laid so
heavily upon us, happy in our family circle,
and respected, I believe, by our neighbors.
The disease has taken nearly all from our
settlement, and in the last moments of those
dear departed ones, scarcely any assistance
was at hand; but all that a mother's love
and a wife's fondness could suggest to retain
them with us, was done. That; sir, is our
cottage on the hill. Oh, I dread to return
to it. Sometimes I fancy I heard my daugh
ter's joyous voice—'tis but the echo of her
angel song in heaven. My oldest son,
hero the torrent of her grief was unloosed,
and drawing down her long black veil, she
turned aside and wept. I could not refrain,
who could? But quickly recovering herself,
she said, "but I must plant this flower ere it
withers—but 'Julia will bloom forever."—
"Permit me to assist you, madam, in this
l .
sacred duty."

Go to the Grave, unthinking man!
Go, ere it opes its jaws for thee,
Go, ore it closes on the span
Which metes thy brief humanity.
Go, while the pulse of life beats strong;
Go in the joy and pride of heart;
Aye go, and ponder well and long
lipou the truth it shall impart.
Co to the Grave, thou reveller!
Go, front thy wild and mad career,
Go, from the thrilling glance of her
Who won thee first fr.an duty's sphere.
Go, from the dance and festival,
From cups which drown the voice of care;
Go, from the crowded banquet hall,
Go to the Grave, and revel there!
Go to the Grave, thou happy one !
Go, from the altar shrine of love:
Go, while the warm unclouded sun
Of hope and bliss is bright above.
Go, ere upon thy beaming brow
The ashy shade of death has come—
A joyous home may greet thee now,
Hut this shall be thy longer home.
Go to the Grave, thou wretched one!
Go, laden with thy weight and woes;
ThCre—when thy weary work is done,
Thy sleepless griefs may find repose;
Go to the Grave—it is the home •
• Where sorrow's Wintry sway is o'er;
There, earth's bereavements cannot come,
There, aching hearts will throb no more.
Go to the Grave—Go ono—Go all--

We soon removed the earth from the
grave, and the flower was transplanted.
Mrs. H. turned to gaze upon the graves,
when I reminded her that the shades of
evening were drawing around us, and I must
bid her adieu. "Accompany me, sir, to
the house," said she, "some refreshment
might be acceptable after your long walk
this afternoon. "
We soon arrived there.
"You mentioned " I said, "madam, that
you had an elder son.'
" Yes, sir, but I might as well mourn for
him as one who is dead, as we had but one
letter from him since his departure."
"How long, madam, since he kit your
"About seventeen years, sir."
A strange feeling, from some unknown
cause, seized me. In an instant, the lady
asked me my name. •
"Charles Hadley, madam," . I replied.
"What! it cannot be—nriy boy—my boy.
Great God! I thank thee!"
"I sto4 in my mother's house." A ray of
joy fell upon the abode of sorrow.
My mother clasped my hand, and from it
drew a ring; 'twos the same she gave me—
there were the initials upon it. She retired
to pray, and the tears fell fast and thick—
but they were tears ofjoy.
Though my mother drank deeply of the
cup of sorrow, joy gladdened her heart on
the return of a long lost son. And while
she tarried on earth, her situation was com
fortable and hnppy, and when summoned to
appear before her judge, she left this world
in full hope of a crown of glory that fadeth
not away, eternal in the heavens.

TEMPERANCE
AN ADDRESS
Delivered before the Conowage Temperance Society
on the 11th of April, 1835,
BY JACOB CASSA'V. ESQ.
"Touch not—Taste not—Handle not!"
IT is always extremely difficult to change
or innovate upon long established and deep
rooted habits or customs, especially if they
are adopted and countenanced by the high
er, or more respectable classes in society;
and still more so, if those habits are in ac
cordance with, and administer to the grati
fication of corrupt human nature. This re
mark is most convincingly illustrated in the
opposition that has been made, and is still
making, though with diminished force, to
the Temperance Reformation.
The use of Ardent Spirits as a'drink, has
long been considered by all classes, as indis
pensable. To all visiters it was 'presented
as the first act of hospitality. Ae a medi
cine, it was deemed both a cure arid preven
tive of disease; would give energy and sus
tain under fatigue; preserve from exposure
to heat, to cold and to damps; in short, it was
considered a universal panacea! Bence it
was found in almost every side-board for
special use; in the cupboard for daily use;
morning, noon, and night, in the field, in the
shop, in the counting-room, and frequently
carried by the traveller on the high road for
convenience of so necessary an article, and
not unfrequently found and used in the office
of the attorney and physician; and some
times (I blush to say it,) was found about
the man in sacred orders !
With such a firm, deep and desperate
hold on the community—so interwoven,with
all our notions of business, and labor, and
intercourse, its use commenced almost with
infancy, and continued through youth and
manhood to old age;. and all this under the
recommendation of age and experience, and
sometimes by medical men, it cannot be
matter of surprise that many are slow and
reluctant to abandon it. But all those popu
lar and vulgar notions have been complete.
ly exploded, by a radical and thorough in
jiestigation of this whole subject on princi
ples of sound reason and experience; and has
resulted in the conviction and satisfactory
ascettainMent, that the use of ardent spirits
as a drink s is not only totally useless, but is
either direr.ttly or indirectly, the procuring
cause of a very large portion of the miseries
that afflict the human family, and is equally
destructive of our national prosperity.
These heavy charges I will attempt to
establish against that areisfelon intemper
ance, by what I have yet to say: believing
that a full and right understanding of the
whole subject, will not fail to carry convic
tion, and induce co.operation in this good
cause.
Inasmuch as it has been well ascertained
by chemical process, that spirits do not con.
tain any nutritious quality, it cannot be ne
cessary to prove that It is useless; for how
can that be other than useless, which, taken
internally contributes not to sustain the bo
dy? It is equally absurd to suppose, that
drinking spirits imparts strength and fits for
labor, its natural tendency is to debilitate
and enfeeble. I will now exhibit some of
the prominent featuree of drunkenness—ln
its effects
IT DESTROYS Hnsuru..;--The health of
the body is so essential to human happiness,
that without it all our other earthly enjoy
ments are sickly. The health of body de
pends on a due equilibrium in the exercise
of all the members and functions of a very
delicate and complicated organic. structure;
while this equilibrium is maintained, health
continues; but if one or more of those Mem
bers or organs become unduly eferted, or
stimulated to over-action, the balance is lost,
and if not restored by a corresponding exci,
ted action of the other_functions and mem
bers, disease follows; and if it is restored,
still the system has received a shock and is
impaired.. -
Now, it will not be doubted, and indeed it
is the-boasted excellence of ardent spirits,
that it invariably produces an utmatUral and
artificial excitement, and gives strength and
vigor for unusual effort. The consequence,
htwever, is as certain, that when the excite
ment subsides,which is evanescent,the whole
syitem, mental and physical, becomes pros
trate and sunk at least as far below' as the
previous excitement was above a healthful
medium; it nevertheless from over-action in
either extreme, leaves the system impaired
and wasted, and by continued and frequent
repetition of unnatural excitement, rousing
into forced and over-action the mental and
animal powers, they soon wear out and be
come exhausted, a rapid delapidetion of the
whole system soon takes place; and some
one or more of the thousand diseases, the off
spring of drunkenness, becomes permanent
ly fixed, and issues in a speedy and prema
ture dissolution. So far from spirits, as a
drink, conducing to health, and preserving
from disease, it only pre-disposes the more
fatally to its contraction.
Should any still doubt the deleterious ef
fects of ardent .spirit s on the human consti
tution and health, I would point him to the
.many surrounding walking, living, pitiable,
degraded, squalled, puverty-stricken victims
of intemperance, as practicable demonstra
tions. Who has not seen the drunkard pass
through the following successive stages of a
miserable existence, first, a temperate drink
er; then an increasing morbid appetite; pre- .
gently an unnatural flush of the countenance
and distention of the body, with grog-blos
oms and inflamed eyes, succeeded quickly
by a general emaciated appearance, the fee
ble, faltering, tottering step; then poverty,
disgusting.filthiness ; wretchedness and dis
ease, and, finally, death! Such examples
are not rare of the unfortunate victims of a
debasing habit, having terminated. their use
less and vicious course before they have
reached the meridian of ordinary life. Such
cases abound; we have all seen them, and all
whose minds are not steeled against truth;
reason and example, and who are not alrea
dy by an allowed and cherished habit, angle
what within the bewitching influence of this
desolating vortex, will feel and own, that
spirits as a drink is not only useless to per
sons in health, but positively pernicious.
Drunkenness destroys character and use
fulness.—ln, proportion as a'man possesses
a good character and consequent influence.
is he useful to his fellow men, if that influ
ence is rightly directed; but let a man be
come a drunkard, and no' matter what his
moral standing has been, or what his repu
tation for integrity, talents or good sense—
all is immediately and irreparably blasted;
confidence in him, by all classes is with
' drawn: even the intemperate and drunkard
will stammer out his, degradation; and with
his respectability, his usefulness is at an end !
Drunkenness debases the whole man, ex
tinguishes the moral sense, and leads .to
crime.—No sooner does the drunkard feel
that he is degraded and despised in the esti
mation of others, than he looses respect for
himself and with it looses one powerful in
centive to pursue a course of moral integri
ty; arid in despair, and reckless of 'conse
quences, he rushes on to his own further
degradation and destruction, feeling himself
an - outcast from society, and all that is love
ly and desirable in it; filthy and loathsome
in all, his habits, his moral perceptions en
ttrelyblunted and insensible to his moral
obligatioq.s, and goaded on by the one pre
dominant pession ' the. gratification of .a
beastly appetite; he is prepared for the corn
missiob of any, or every crime; and hence
the fact, that at least three-fourths of all in
dictable offences brought before the crimi
nal courts, are found to have their origin in,
and traceable to intemperance. This is the
united and reiterated testimony of many of
the presiding Judges.
Of 653 persons committed in one year to
the House of Correction in Boston, 453 were
drtmkards! Of all the murders committed
in New York in fifteen years, only 8 could
not be traced to intemperance as the cause.
Drunkenness entails poverty and wretch
edness,,The possession and right use of
property, is essential to happiness and corn
fort. To hold ' retain and use wealth pru
dently, requites all the energies of the mind
and body to be judiciously exercised. But
drunkenness indisposes and disqualifies for
the right exercise of those energies. It
weakens and enfeebles the physical powers,
and unfits for labor; it enervates the mind,
perverts the judgment, and deranges the
whole man. Hence the invariable waste
and dilapidation of the drunkard's property;
want of a prudent oversight, the loss of his
own personal labor, the =pease incident to
his intemperance, and the ruinous contracts
he makes while his judgment is inadequate
to a proper discrimination; rarely fail to
bring, and that speedily, poverty and wretch
edness on himself and family—and total des
titution is the usual inheritance left by the
drunkard to his family; to which may be
superadded 'to his wife a broken heart ' and
to his children debasing ignorance and a de- '
moralizing example. -
Of 3,000 persons admitted to the work
house in Salem, Masi. 2,900. were brought
there by , intemperance. Of 1,193 persons
in the alms-house of New York, less than
70'were sober. It is computed that there
is, in the U. States about 300,900 drunkards;
and were it possible to collect all their wives
and children, and present them before you
inune group in all their wretchedness, and
ignorance and equalled poverty, and hear
their sad and pitiable lamentations—and
could you, even this night, be present in the
comfortless habitations of those drunkards
when 'kw return from their nightly revels
and Wits infernal, and of dissipation—and
witness the unfeeling and barbarous savages'
treatment of the helpless and innocent; the
abuse, the flagellations, the turning out of
doors, and horrid profanity, that will be there
exhibited and practiced by those drunken
maniacs--who could forbear to weep tears
of commiseration and regret over this deep
and wide-spread moral desolation! And
when told, and truly, that all this vast and '
appalling amount of human misery, is fairly
chargeable to moderate drinking, as the
primary cause of drunkenness, who can re
fuse to resolve, instantly, that henceforth
they will never, no, never agaitr encourage
the drinking of ardent spirits by their own
example; and that they will unite with oth-
ers in thei r efforts to stern the torrent of liquid
fire that has b 0 long been rolling over the
length and breadth of the land, desolating its
fairest portions; and if any still refuse their
aid in this good cause, with the light that is
now thrown around it, they would do well,
and I would admonish them to consider how
far they are necessaries before the fact, to
drunkenness and its concomitants, and if it
is not probable they are treasuring up to
themselves the bitter and scalding, tears of
perhaps a fruitless repentance; and if the
righteous Judge of all the earth may not
hold them responsible, for- not "corning up
to the help of the Lord against the mighty."

SECRET CLUB OF LAWYER&
We have received information from a de
vious source, of the existence or a secret
society differing in design and organization
from any one we ever heard of. kis com
posed of thirty-three members, all of whom
are lawyers of the most efficient 'characters
constituting an invisible chain of intelli
gence extending from New Orleans to Bos
ton. The ruler of this select corps, called
Tetrarch, is invested with the most absolute
and irresponsible power: - -
The whohiof the U. S. is divided into
eight distticts, four members composing a
council in each of them, and when they di
vide, the 'ruler decides. It was in the first
instance a self onstittited society, and like
ly so to continue, as each member before
he dies or resigns, nominates his successor.
"Few die and-none resign." No females are
admitted, and the nominated man is strip
ped for examination, if his person be found
perfect and without blemish, then the men
tal examination commences. He is exam.
fined by each of the eight councils iti rota.
tion s if they all report fiwourably of his le
gal qualifications and temperate habits, the
Tetrarch admits him to full membership,
after administering to him, in presence of
one of the councils, a solemn oath of uncon
ditional submission in all matters relating
to his duties in the society. This examin
ation is said to be of the Most rigid kind,
and any one to pass it, must be versed in
the principles both of the common law and
the civil law, in the rights of persons and
property, in constitutional principles, and
particularly in the original structure of the
feudal system; and its connexion with mod
ern tenures, comprehendina in its purview
an interminable horizon of learning, that
seems to recede forever as the mind advan
ces.
No one is admitted until he is 34 years
of age, and has been 7 years a practitioner
of law, 10 •members remain unmarried, to
he ready at the shortest notice to obey the
Tetrarch, who can .command them to re
move to any part of the U. S. and remain
there under tli,ar pretext of practising law du
ring: pleasure:
All their proceedings are secreLand the
councils seldom meet twice in , the same
place s and never communicate with each
other by writing, or keep a record of their
proceeding,s. The Tetrarch visits each of
the councils •as often as practicable to be
appiised of every important measure that
is adopted: or discovery Mat is made.
The object of the society is to collectin
formation about doubtful titles to property
and make up cerrect legal opinions, about
them. When a defect is discovered to aly
mate's title,. if the property involved is valua
