A vaunt, ye scourge to human kind; Nor dare your victim blast; By bringing to his canker'd mind, Remembrance of the past. Behold yon visage ! haggard wan, Of my once noble friend, Whose virtue's! bright as manhood. dawn, Has met a Gambler's end. Behold yon bloated pimpled face; Intemperance marks each line; Twas Gaminrr rob'd it of its grace, Which once was true as thine. Begone, begone! my thoughts away: Grant me one hour of rest; Hush, hush my conscience! do, I pray Relieve ray burden'd breast.

From thc Sandusky Clarion. Sandu-ky Bav is situated in 41 deg. 30 inin. north latitude, on the south side of Lake Erie: near the cen tre of the north t ide of thc state of Ohio; one hunderd miles due north from Columbus the capital. The lands bordering on thc bav and its vicinity, are varigated with valuable timber and prairies. 1 he earth is generally alumine, which furnishes the best soil for agricultu ral improvements, interspersed with quarries of limestone, a valuable and permanent building material; w ith a tine bed ot plaster, which furnishes the finishing part in the first style. i he mot valuable crops arc casilv produced in abundance, and no coun try can probably excel it for such kinds of fruit as are suited to thc climate. Though it is a level, smooth country, vising gradually from the lake -outh; yet it partakes of a rare vari ety of picturesque scenery, which invites the spirit of taste in rural improvements. And should Sandusky Bay be made one of the points of the canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio, as is expected, it will perfect what nature pro vided to make it, a great port. And when the wet marshy grounds are improved by the late spirit of canal in, it will succeed in health, and be come the garden of the world. The favorable climate, quality of soil and natural advantages, give assurance to the active and preserving iu cniurcr. No interior place, perhaps on the ulobe, embraces more natural advanous and excellent ha, bor.unWSH.

It holds out the fairest prospects to e nterprising capitalists to be employ ed in trade, navigation, manufactu ring and agricultural interests; which unite to increase the wealth and prosperity of a country. Apparent end true Friendship. There is a kind of feeling possessbv mnn. that is often taken for V V 4 T - friendship; & it mav be traced, with few exerntiens, in all the walks of. life. It is the child of selfishness; burning more brilliant at certain times, when some dc-ired object is in view, but w hich glows with an incomparable lustre at the shrine of j wealth. Its smiles arc those ofhy-i pocriey. The man of opulence is generally surrounded by many friends, apparently great, who give him their smiles; who court his society at all times and in all places; who become his great advocates. But, w hen the hour of advcisity arrives, when hi riches have taken to themselves wings and poverty salutes him with haggard looks and downcast eye ; when care and oppression follow hard after him; when sorrow's sigh escapes his breast, and troble's tear bedews his cheek; when sickness has emaciated his frame, and he uhas not where to lay his head,'1 will the) then be his companions, and hold out to him an administering and rehvbalm of consolation into his woundi'iiey w ill he his friend no longer than they can sit, at his table, and desipate upon the luxuries of life: 'no longer than they cm derive from his wealth benclits that his hbcralitv had prompted him to bestow; but w ill seek other climes and ether benefactor?, w !,irre. and with w hom they hope to feed and saiify their baleful appetites. Of what i finite value, then, is pun constant, and unalterable friendf hip? A soother lor every woe, a monitor in every trial, it guards us against every assault, makes plain our path. & easy our progress throiith a world of guilt. It talks to us of Heaven ; of the f licity there to be attained, bv : i l i . .: i . pillow of death, and accompany us to that world where pure and unin terrupted friendship ever dwell?. "Hail sacred rrienhip. jrenial spark. Before thy holv hrine I kneel; Protect and guide my trembling bark, As through the storm of life I sail When dark, portentious clouds of care O'er my despairing soul impend: Or feel misfortune, fraught with fear, And rankling grief my bosom rend. Then, sad benighted, lone, and drear, Thrice hallowM Friendship's cheering ray, ; Sweet soother of my soul, appear: jjispei and cliascthe gloom awav. Thus, when the adverse tide runs strong. Let thy efficient power extend ; Oh! shield me from oppression's wrong, And bless me with a bosom friend.'' ANECDOTE. A poor slave was once, thus addressed by a lively young gentleman, in a jocular way, "Well Unelc, 1 hear that you have become very religious lately, and I want to know what religion you are of." "Why Massa" said he, "My religion is, cease to do evil and learn to do tood-, what religion are you of?" Could any Doctor of Divinity in Christendom have returned a more appropriate answer.?
