POETICAL ASYLUM.
The following beautiful Lines, to the memory nf Km met, are taken from the Irish Shield and Monthly Milesian. They arc replete with feel;ng and pathos, and will he read with pleasure by all admirers of good poetry. " U. Tdrzrafth. t.i nt ox r.iir; MATtrviti.n patriot. Oh! cold is the grave where he silently slumher?. Where nought but the wild bird his requiem
sines ;
There sad let the minstrel-boy breath the wild numbers Of grief o'er the plaintive harp's sorrowing string". Calm, ralm is his deep, and unsullied his glory, In the shade of the laurels his matrydom won, And long let his name be emblazon 'd in story Green Isle of the ocean ! thy patriot son. Oh, swert be his rest, while in sorrow we wail him. And mourn o'er his fe in our tremulous songs, Green l'rin ! oh, soft thy bards proudly hail him As the hero who bhul tor thy desolate wrongs; Twine, twine the sad harp with cypress and willow That shade, with their fcilage, his mouldering urn ; Redew'd with the tear drops that bathe his cold pillow, Where sleep the lone relics of him whom we mourn. With nought but the vcrduc that decks his cold bosom And spvHgs thrcugh the damp sod that cover his breast Or the fr;ip;rant perfume of the wild heather blossom In the blaze of his glory, oh there let him rest ! But his spirit has tied to a happier haven

tons and feelings and habits might be so formed, that the whole youthful generation might rise tip as a rampart, against which t ; fiery waves of intemperance would dash in vain, saying hitherto shait thou come, but no farther, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed. To all our schools instruction on this subject should be communicated, and the Sabbath schooh now spreading through the land, may in this manner lend a mighty influence to prevent the intemperance of the rising generation. In respect to the reformation of those over
whom the habit of intemerancc has obtained an ascendency, there is but one alternative thev must resolve upon immediate and entire abstinence. Some have recommended, and many have attempted, a gradual discontinuance. Hut no Mian's prudence and fortitude arc equal to the task of reformation in this way. If the patient were in close confinement, where he could not help himself, he might be dealt with in this manner, but it would be cruelly protracting a course of suffering through, months, which might be ended in a few days. But no man, at liberty, will reform by gradual retrenchment Substitute have also been rerommende I as the means of reformation, such as opiu , which is only another mode o
producing inL-briation, is often a temptation to
intemperance, and not infrequently unites its
pair health, and destroy life. It is a prctcrn
atural stimulant, raising excitment above the tone of health, and predisposing the system for intemperate drinking. Strong beer has been rccommcded as a sub stitutc for ardent spit its, and a means of leading back the captive to health nd liberty. But though it may ne t create intemperate habits assoon.it Ins no power to allay them It will finish even what ardent spit its have begun and with thh difference only, that it does not rasp the vital organs with quite so keen a file and enables the victim to come down to his grave, by a course somewhat more dilatory, and with more of the good matured stupidity of the idiot, and less of the demoniac frenzy of the madman. Wine has been prescribed as a means of decoying the intemperate from the ways of death. But habit cannot be thus cheated out ofJs dominion, nor ravening appetite be amused down to a sober and temperate demand. If it be true that men do not become intemperate on vvinc, it is not true that wine will restore the intemperate, or stay the progress of the disease. Enough must be taken to screw up nature to the tone of cheerfulness, or she will cry "give," with an importunity not lobe resisted, and long before the work of death is done, wino will fail to minister a stimulus of sufficient activity to rouse the fiagging spirits or will become acid on the enfeebled stomach, and brandy and opium will be called in to hasten to its consummation the dilatory work of sclf-dcstrp.ttion. So that if no man becomes a sot upon wine, it is only because it hands him over to more fierce and terrible executioners of Heaven's delayed vengeance.
If in any instance wine suffices to complete
the work of ruin, then the difference is only that the victim is stretched longer upon the
rack, to die in torture with the gout, while ardent spirits finish life by a shorter and per
haps less painful course.
Retrenchments and substitutes then arc
idle, and if in any case they succeed, u is not in
one of a thousand. It is the tampering of an infant with a giant, the effort of a kitten to
escape from the paw of a lion.
There is no remedy for intemperance but
tho cessation of it. Nature must be released
from the unnatural war which is made upon
her, and be allowed to rest, and then nutrition,
and sleep, and exercise, will perform the work
of restotation. Gradually the spring of life
will recover tone, appetite will return, diges
tion become efficient, sleep sweet, and the
muscular system vigorous, until the clastic
heart with every beat shall send health through the system, and joy through the soul.
but what shall be done lor those to whom it might be fatal to stop short? Many arc reputed to be in this condition, probably, who arc not and those who are may, while under the care o! a physician, be dealt with, as he may think best for the time, provided they
obey strictly a3 patients his prescriptions.
But if when thev arc committed to their own care again, they cannot live without ardent spirits then they must die, and have onl
the alternative to die as reformed penitents,
or as incorrigibly intemperate to die in a manner which shall secure pardon and admission to heaven, or in a manner which shall
exclude them forever from that holy world. As the application ol '.his discourse, I
would recommend to every one of you who
hear it, immediate and faithful selfexamina lion, to ascertain whether any of the symp toms in intemperance arc beginning to show
themselves upon vou And let not the con
sideration that vou have never been suspect
ed, and have never suspected yourselves of
intemperance, deprive you of the benefit o!
this scrutiny For it is inattention and self
confidence which supersede discretion, and
banish fear, and let in the destroyer, to fasten upon his victim, before he thinks of danger
or attempts resistance
Arc there then set times, days, and places.
when you calculate always to indulge your
selves in drinking ardent spirits? Do you
stop often to take something at the tavern
when you travel, and always when you come
lo the village, town, or city. This frcqucn cy of drinking will plant in your system, be
fore you are aware of it, the seeds of the
most terrific disease which afflicts humanity. Have you any friends or companions whose presence, when you meet them, awakens the thought and the desire of drinking ? Both of vou have entered on a course in which there is neither safety not hope, but from instant retreat. Do anv of vou love to avail yourselves of
every little catch and circumstance among
you check the habit, you will become rapidly
more and more intemperate, until concealment becomes impossible. Do your eyes, in any instance, begin to trouble you by their weakness orinflamma 'ion ? If you are in the habit of drinking ar dent spirits daily, you need not ask the physician what is the matter nor inquire inr Bve watT. Your reddess of eyes is pro duced by intemperance; and abstinence, and that only, will cure them. It may be well for every man who drinks daily, to look in the glass often, that he may see in his own face the signals of distress, which abucd na'utc holds out one after another, and too ol ten holds out in vain. Do any of you find tremour of the hand coming upon you, and sinking of spirit, and loss ol appetite in the morning? Nature is failing, and giving to you timely admonition of her distress. Do the pains of a disordered stomach, and mistered tongue aud lip. begin to torment vou? You are far advanced in the work of
self destruction a few more years will pro
bably finish it.

Do you find the desire of strong drink re
turning dily, and at stated hours ? Unless you intend to travel all the length of the highway of intemperance, it is time to stop. Unless you intend soon to resign your liberty forever, and come under a despotism of the most cruel and inexorable character, you must abandon the morning bitters, the noontide stimulant, and the evening bowl. Do anv of you drink in secret, because you are unwilling your friends or the world should know how much you drink ? You might as well cut loose in a frail boat belore a hurricane, and expect safety : you are gone, gone irretrievably, if you do not stop.
