The calamity is, thai imemperance is a sin so deceitful, that most men g on to irretrievable ruin, warned indeed, by many inTtcations, but una vadingly, beeauso they understand not their voice. lr is af v it imp m.mcc, therefore, that the .'.ymatoms of iateaipcrance should be universally a ad familiarly known; the effects of the sin upon t:r: nodv. and upon the mind, should be so described in all its stages, from the beginning to the end, that every one may sec, and feel, and reeonuise these harbingers ot

death as soon as they begin to show them '.eh es upon him. 1. One of the eatly iodiea'.rms of intemperance m y be iou'i i in the associations of time r.tnl place.

When any of 1 hese holidays atrivc, and t(ey coipc as often almost as saint's days in the calendar, they bring with them, to many the insatiable desire of th inking, as well as a dispensation from the sin, as efficacious and rpiieting to the conscience, as papal indul gences There are some I am aw are that have recommended the multiplication of holidays and public amusements, as a remedy for in temperance: about as wise a prescription

if not checked, wid become more capacious,

ami deep, and powerful, and loud until the interests of time and eternity arc ungulfed.

It is here then beside this commencing vortex that I would take my stand, to ward

off the heedless naviga'or from destruction.

To all who do but heave in sight, and with voice that should rise above the winds and waves, I would cry "stand ofi'!!!" spread the sail, ply the oar, for death is here and could I command the elements the blackness of darkness should gather over this ga'e way to hell and kit id fires should blaze and the groans of unearthly voices should he heard insnitiog consternation and flight in ail w ho came near. Tor this is the part

ing point beluccn those who forsake danger and hide themselves, and the foolish who piss on and arc punished. He w ho escapes this periodical thirst of times and seasons, w ill not be a dtunkard,a3 he who comes within the reach of this powerful attraction will be sure to perish. It may not be certain that every one will become a sot; but it is certain that every one will enfeeble his bodygenerate disease, and shorten his days, it may not be certain that every one will sacri ficc his reputation, or squander his property, and tlie in the alms house; but it is certain that a large proportion will come to poverty and infamy, of these who yield daily to the

periodical appetite for ardent spirits. Here

first or last never fails to ghc

i lie eyes Who hath redness of eyes? I

arc not of couise intemperate whose visual organs become inflamed and weak Hut there arc few intempciate persons w ho escape this

malady, and yet when it comes, they have

no suspicion of the cause speak of it w ithout embarrassment and wonder what the

matter can be apply to the physician for

eye water, and di ink on. But evci y man who is accustomed o chink ardent spiiits freely,

whose eye begins to re Idcn and to weep,

ought to know whai the matter is, and to take

warning; it is one ot the signals which dis tressed nature holds out and waves in token of distress. Another indication of intemperance is found in the fullness and freshness of health but rather the plethora of a relax d fibre and peccant humors, which come to occupy the vacancy of healthful nutrition, and to mar the countenance with pimpies and inflammation. All are not intcmncratc of

course who are affected with diseases of the skin. Hut no hard drinker carries such a face without a guilty and specific cause, and it is another signal of distress which abused nature holds out, while she cries for help. Another indication of intemperance may

be tound in impaired muscular strength and tremor of the hand Now the destroyer, in his mining process, approaches the citidel ol life, and is advancing fast to make the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow themselves. This relaxation of the joints, and trembling of the nerves, will be experienced especially in the mot ning when the system, unsustained by sleep, has run down. Now all is relaxed, tremulous and faint-hearted. The fire which sparkled in the eye, the evening before, is quenched the courage which dilated the heart is passed away and the tones of eloquence, which dwelt on the inspired tongue, are turned into pusilanimous complainings, until opium, or bitters, or both, are thrown into the stomach to wind up again the run down machine. And now the liver, steeped in fire, begins to contract, and refuses to perform its func tions, in preparing the secretions which are

necessary to aid digestion; and loss of appc tit e ensues; and indigestion, and fermentation, and acidity, begin to rob the system of nutrition, and to vex and irritate the vital organ, filling the stomach with air, and the head with fumes, and the soul with darkness and terror.
