Though Rosseau threw enchantments over the tender passions, though Byron and Ossiafl transferred the most sublime and tdound sensibility into love, yet they never experienced those tine Jeeiings of .vhich the pure heart of woman is usceptible.

It was on Sunday night— ves, Sunday night— for what law ot God and man wiil not h^ that i.ueguiciing to yield to the power ol temptation make subordinate to the law ot his appetites? It was on Sunday night that was decoyed, into a tavern which is called '-The U.iteland with a little different spelling and pronunciation its chat* aeter woaid be expressed with a dreadful accuracy.

was getting up

in life, and must be able to master a "stilf glass" of brandy, gin, 1 mint julep or1 whatever the fashionable drink was. A route, a ball, a card party, a dinner,a supper,'an election, a game, something or nothing, furnished three hundred and sixty live opportunities in a year to indulge my growing appetite. When at length I began to be somewhat alarmed at this surprising progress in dissipation, I resolved 10 abstain for a limited period. Then my ambition would kindle upi lor I wished ardently to be a great man I studied earnestly for a time the science of law and politics, but when the allotted period expired, forward I would rush again into the channel like a current t[iat having* f*ecn dammed up breaks over the frail barrier# with fresh impetuosity/

I have often come home and found tnv wife weeping in siience—a silence that at first ttsed to gore mv soul—but liquor soon hardened anything that looked like tenderness.— She has told me the children wanted clotht s, hut "curse the children," said I, "I want my drink and I'll hive it.*' One night 1 stayed till "J oVIock at the tavern playing cards, and wno should come in at lhat dread hour of the. night but my wilt- with her intant in her arms My (iod! If my blood didn't run cold, and curdle at my heart! Is this woman? Is ill is my wile? I exclaimed. .Never before did I realize the full power of female virtue. .My profane companions and m\self were perfectly abashed. I cursed her and told her with severe threats to go home.—.

trembling infant cut to me, "this is youn childf? and I wil I not stir one step from this spot till you tyke it and- go home with me!" She then turned to my companions & upbraided them as my destroyers', in a strain of invective that made them cower like so mah^ discovered and disarmed "ftssassins before the messenger of retribute justice. We separated, ashamed of each other and our deeds of darkness* & almost sobered by tiii&stnftige and astounding apparition.

I obeyed implicitly ft thing makes a man mor spirited than the habit ing. We went JiometiHKfcr^tired to rest but

the night, with aJftorrit%i thirst, rtottered to tR and drank went to/tdt-ep gain slept till .n o'cjpckj ind when I arose, felt dizzy ©fc be* wildered, wretched and&^pef less! and so my da^a$re p&ss^ ing! fGive up the njraAtjce I will not. I cannot live without it. I have no cfy«iraeter to lose—no mind to sttidy— ao business to employ, me— no ambition to aspire—no love excepting for brandy, whiskey, gin, rum-any thing which will suppjy, while it continu ally inflames more and more this 'dfcadful thirst. Having sacrificed all that is worth having here, it matters little what I do. I would cross a mine that has a kindled match applied to it—I would march before an exploding cannon to get at the bottle—I would sacrifice my soul for it! And all this is the result of one fatal taste!

This is the end of the

social glass."

Such is the fnelancholy tale of one who has drawn a picture of whic^h, alas! there are too itafiy origi nals.
