POETICAL ASYLUM

From the Democratic Siv. OLD WINER IS COMING. " Old Winter is coming again alack! How icy and cold is he! He cares not a pin for a shivering hick He's saucy old chap to white and black He whistles his chills with a wonderful knack. For he comes from a cold country! A witty old fellow this Winter is A migthy old fellow for glee! He cr icks his jokes on the pretty, sweet miss The T. rinklcd r'. maiden, unfit to kiss. And freezes the dew of their lips : for this Is the way with old fellows like he! Old Winter's a frolicksomc blade I wot Tic is wild in his humor and free! He'll whistle along, for "the want of his thought,' And set nil the warmth of our furs at naught, And ruffle the laces by pretty girls bought A frolicksomc fellow is he! Old Winter is Wowing his gusts along, And merrily slaking the tree' From morning 'till night he will sing his song Now moaning, and short now howling and long, His voice is loud for his lungs ara strong A merry old fellow is he! Old Winter's a tough old fellow for blows, As tough as ever you see! He will trip up our trotters, and rend our clothes, And stiffen our limbs from our fingers to toesHe minds not the cries of his friends or his foes A tough old fellew is he! A cunning old fellow is Winter, the;rsay, A cunning old fellow is he! lie peeps in the crevices day by day, To see ho v we'er passing our time away And marks all our doings, from grave to gay I'm afraid he is peeping at me!

OH. UEECHER, ON INTEMPERANCE.

THE EVILS OF INTEMPERANCE. SERMON III. (Sermon 3, concluded.) IIabakxuk, ii, 911, 15, 16. Wo to him that covctcth an evil covctousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that

he may be delivered from the power ot evil ! Thau hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thv soul. For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam oat of the timber shall answer it. Wo unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that pnttest thy bottle to him, and makest him druaken also,' that thou mayest look on their nakedness ! Thou art filled with shame for glory :

undermining the foundations of our rational edifice. Legions have besieged it, and upon every gate the battle-axe rings ; and still the sentinels sleep. Should the evil advance as it has done, the day iy not far distant when the great body of the laboring classes of the community, the bones and sinews of the nation, will be con taminaled ; and when this is accomplished, the right of suffrage becomes the engine of self destruction. Fur the laboiing classes constitute an immense majority, and when these are perverted by intemperance, ambi

tion needs no better implements with which i

to dig the grave of our liberties, and entomb our glory. Such is the influence of interest, ambition, fear, and indolence, that one violent partisan, with a handful of disciplined troops,may over-rule the influence of five hundred temperate men, who act without concert. Already is the disposition to temporize, to tolerate, and even to court the intemperate, too apparent, on account of the apprehended retribution of their perverted suffrage. The whole power of law, through the nation, sleeps in the statute book, and until public sentiment is roused and concentrated, it may be doubted whether its execution is possible. Where is the city, town, or village, in which the laws are not openly violated, and where is the magistracy that dares to carry into effect the laws against the vending or drinking of ardent spirit? Here then an aristocracy of bad influence has already risen up, which bids defiance to law, and threatens the extirpation of civil liberty As intemperance increases, the power of taxation will come more and more into the hands cf men of intemperate habits and desperate fortunes ; of course the laws gradually will become subservient to the debtor, and less efficacious in protecting the rights of property. This will be a vital stab to liberty to the security of which property is indispensable For money is the sinew of war and when those who hold the property of a nation cannot be protected in their rights, they will change the form of government, peaceably if they may, by violence if they must. In proportion to the numbers who have no right in the soil, and no capital at stake, and no moral principle, will the nation be exposed to violence and revolution. In Europe, the physical power is bereft of the right of suffrage, and by the bayonet is kept down But in this nation, the power which may be wielded by the intemperate and ignorant is tremendous These are the troops of the future Caesars, by whose perverted suffrages

our future elections may be swayed, and ul

who have something to hope, and nothing to fear, from revolution and blood. Of such materials was the army of 1 'atiline composed, who conspired against the liberties of Rome And in the French revolution, such men as Lafayette were soon swept from the helm, by mobs composed of the dregs of creation, to give place to the revolutionary furies which lollowcd.
