To a gestleman who asked me to take some brandy.
Oder me not the blasting bowl,
My tongue may not Its horrors toll;
A curse Is in its dark control, •
It is the harbinger of belt.
The rosy apple Adam ate,
Which first the subtle serpent gave,
Contain'd the spirit of man's fate,
Which gives its millions to the grave.
The gifted and the glorious fall,
When they that spirit's pow'r once own;
And reason, deaf to duty's call,
Tumbles from her exalted throne.
A aerpant's charm is in the bowl,
That may a moment's peace impart;
But 'tis damnation to the soul,
A dewily • dagger to the heart.
Bay not it gives to friendship birth,
lh or if on that I may rely,
Oh! let me have no friend on earth;
Alone, unloy'd oh! let me die.
Art thou my generous friend! Then swift
Apply the vampire to the vein;
But never. never dare to lift
The wino cup to my lips again.
Place on my harp the Egyptain asp,
Bring hemlock to my dying lip,
Audis death's dusky angel's grasp,
Oh! let me then tho upas sip.
But offer net the mad'ning bowl,
That kills or cures all who taste;
Plunders the purse, and sinks the soul,
Into a wild and fearful waste.
Young man beware! thou dolt not know,
In thy convivial moments free,
What anguish, and what wondrous wue,
The future treasure up for thee.
rvo seen h youth of fortune, fame,
liclov'd and honor'd by the world,
it t this one vice sent down to shame,
And from his envi'd height soon hurl
I've seen proud Genius noble heir
Chain'd in a dark atd dreary cell,
Howling the horrors of despair,
Amid the fancy'd fiends of hell.
Retrace thy steps ere manhood's noon,
Taste, touch not now, the poisonous wave,
Or thou wilt fall and mingle soon,
• With mouldering millions in the grave.
Mr. Editor:—Having recently read, in
the New 'ork Observer, an account of the
first temperance movements in this country,
in which allusion is made to a pamphlet of
Dr. Rush, published in 1604—and in which
the first Union of effort for the formation of
a - Temperance Society, is said to have been
effected in 1811. This is supposed to have
bee the first movement of that moral ma •
thinery, that is now raising the world. It
is pleasing to go back to those incipient of
forts, put forth by the wise and good, and
trace their onward progress, up to the time
when Heaven itself has seemed to think
them worth a place in the choicest current
of its mercies to man.
But. sir, a most pleasing and perfect re
collection, prompts'me to record a fact con-_
meted with this subjecf—and whtth, for the
honour of ourlitate and Coonty, a little tn.
&sir!, IW9 triailled me to do, most widen. ,
torily, by a recurrence to the manuscript
itself.
The Rev. John'Black, Pastor of the Up
per Marsh creek congregation, in this coup.
ty, in the year 1790, made the painful dis
covery, that the greatest obstacle to a desi
rable result, of faithful ministerial labor,was
the unrestrained use of ardent spirits., That
Ac z.
Destroysl then and long since, had, with
nnrestrain boldness, made its way to the
r.ry altars f the Church, and, demon like,
sat smiling _ ver the desolations of its own
"iirititiotirtind exulting in the wounds that
were inflicting on the bosom of the Church
of God.
The Pastor, surrounded with evidences of
the destroyer's works, found that faithful
admonitions, entreaties, tears and prayers
were alike unavailing. He had hie session,
hut the most easily perceived inconsistency
had paralyzed them, and rendered any at
tempt at discipline a mockery. Parson
Black, however, was a rnam or no ordinary
attainments--possessed of a mind cast in a
anperior mould, strongly assimilated in ma
ny of its features to that of Wilberforce—
conceived, and proposed to his suffering
congregation, the only remedy. Amongst
other Resolutions, tendbig to the good order
and coxsistent conduct of the members of
his Church, I find the following:
&We resolve, That we will not make a
commit, much less a free use of spirituous
or intoxicating hquors; and that we will
guard, at all times, against drinking, so as
in the least degree to disturb 'our frame, or
in any wise injure our rational or Religious
exercises. We resolve, also, to avoid temp
tations to he vice of drunkenness; to shun
the compliny4drunkards; to abstain from
places where such liquor is sold, except
when the pursuit of our lawful business
obliges us to visit them: And we resolve,
that we will not give such liquor to those
"-lin - we may employ in harvest, at house
~,ruiy*pgs, or at vendues, which any of ns
may make."
Out of a large Congregation, there wore
but three, who did not shrink from this
plage—amongst whom, the writer is per
oxided to number a venerated Father. Dis
coursiged and disheartined, the Pastor reti
red to the western part of Pennsylvania,
where his Ministerial labors ended in a con
igregation at Greensburgh, Westmoreland
county. That Pledge, adhered to, would
have *tried up or staved many a tear, and
wired many a gray hair from going down
with wirrow to the grave.'
::Now. Mr. Editor, 1 have done. And I
ebbe for Adams (then York) County, Pa.,
Ist year 1701, through the superior mind
et the Rev. Jahn Black, the discovery of
the only trmet4, forlsomperauce.

POPPING THE QUESTION.
I told her that her marble brow,
O'er which her auburn locks were straying,
Was like a drift of purest snow,
Where golden sunset rays are Playing.
I told her that her soft blue eyes
Would shame the brightest spheres of he av'n,
That work tho chambers of the skies,
Upon a moonless summer oven.
I swore no sunny cloud could vie
In snowy whiteness with her bosom,
And that her cheeks had stole their dye,
From wild rose and magnolia blossom.
GRAMMATICAL. — 'Sammy: said a fond
father to his son who was just studying Eng
lish grammar, 'our cat caught a rat,—in
which case is the noun cat in this sentencel'
'The nominative,' replied Sammy. 'Very
good—very good, indeed—but the rat, —is
the rat in the nominative case, toot' Why
no, sir," hesitated Sammy, 'the rat, sir, is
hi—is in—yes sir, the rat is 'W hati'
'why sir, he's in a very bad case indeed,
sir!' You're a smart boy, Sammy, you are
—you may go down head.
Mathews used to tell a story of a Moor,
whose fattier dying, he was advised to go
to London to consult a civilian, and to tell
him that his father died intestate, and had
left six young infants , besides himself, awl
ascertain if he could, not be hie executor.
Arriving in London, ho went to a lawyer's
office, knocked at the door and was invited
in, when the following conversation took
place.
"Be you a silly valliane
"Did you come to insult me?"
"I coined a purpose. You must know
that feather died detested,and left six young
infidels besides myself, and 1 wants to know
if I can't be his executioner." .
From the Compiler.
Widows are singular creatures, they re

"I say, Frank, did'nt you say yours was
a seriptur name?' 'lndeed I did.' But
where in natur did you find ii?" Why,
in 2d chapter of Mother and 11th verse, to
be sure, it tells about one Frankincense—
and a clover fellow he was too, I guess.'—
'So it does, faith! I'll give up.'

I vowed that unto her alone,
My burning heart had worship given;
That should she on its homage frown,
"I' would then to dark despair be driven.
And then I gazed upon her form,
And pressed her small white hand with fervor;
And asked her if 'mid calm or storm,
She would be mine, and mine forever?
And I swore I'd keep•my some,
As true as rule, or square, or plummet;
But—she placed her finger on her nose,
And told me that—l "COULDN ' T COME IT."
ADVICE GRATIS.
When your coat is torn patch it,
When your leg itches, scratch it,
When time is flying, snatch it,
When an idea's wanting, hatch it,
When tho door's open, latch it,
If you've work to do, despatch it,
If your bread's ready, batch it,
If your house is holy, thatch it,
Now you're defied to match it.

There is a lady out west, whose mouth is
so large, that her dinner is often lost before
sho can swallow it.
Don't say I never gave you any thing,"
as the lady in Kentucky said, when she pre

birth.
INFATUATION.—A physician in Albany
says: —"We read last week, a heart sick
ening account of the decease of a fine amia
ble young lady who fell a victim to fashion
—she laced herself to death! Apart from
the prevailing infatuation which leads fe
males to commit elegant and refined sui
cide she is said to have been an uncommon
ly intelligent and promising girl. The bo
dy presented a dreadful sight. The ribs
were contracted to within half their natural
circumference, and the Jlhoulder blades
were actually lapped over each other!—
The chest was of coutse extremely narrow
and not half the natural room was left for
the action of the heart and the inspiration
of air into the lungs. The consequence
was death!
Tux *sox of YOUTH is the chosen
soil for philanthrophy. It is there that its
seeds take the firmest roots. There the
world has sown no tares to impede its pro
gress, but the lovely plant is permitted to
flourish in its growth! To blight in its
bloom by the chilling breath of precaution
seems like exposing an exotic, which we
have reared in a conservatory, to the blast
of December's storm; yet it is the duty of
the moralist to-"guald the inexperienced
from these deceptions, which too often are
practised in the world. Misapplied benev
olence is an encouragement to iniquity; and
instead of producing the effect desired, acts
as an incitement both to depravity and im
positiOn.
