A STRONG DRAM.

During the last twelve months a poor
woman, about 80 years of age, has occa-
sionaily visited the surgeons IN the Cor.
balls purchasing opium or laudanum as
suited her taste or circumstances. Some
times when scarce of money, she has
swallowed lsudanum, and gone off with
out paying for it.. Saturday morning
she went into surgeons shop and asked
Tor an ounce and half of her favorite IL
quid, quantity, Under ordinary circum.
stances sufficient for % men. The sur
geon gave her the gass in hand, thinking
she intended to empty it into some article
OF her OVID, and carryit off; when to his
establishment, she swallowed the whole
contents. The surgeon having recogniz-
ed his old acquaintance handed her over
to the police to deter he from troubling
him again. After a confinement of two
hours, she was liberated, she states that

ELEGANT EXTRACT.

From Sermon Of the Rsv'd JOSEPH FRAvc1s.
"Let this idea dwell i'll our minds, that our duties
TO God and our duties to men, are not distinct and
Independent duties, but involved in each other:
that devotion and virtue are not different things.
but the same thing; either in different stages or in
different stations, in different points of progress or
circumstances of situation. What we call devotion,
for the sake Of distinction during its initiatory anil
instrumental exercises, is devotion in its infancya
the virtue which, after a time it produces, is devo-.
ton in its maturity; the contemplation of Deity ia
devotion at rest; the execution Of his commands is
devotion in action. Praise is religion in the temple,
or in the closet; industry, from sense of duty, is
religion in the shop or in the field; commercial
integrity is religion in the mart; the communication
OF consolation is religion in the house of mourning.
tender attention is religion in the chamber Of sick
ness; paernal instruction is religion at the hearths
judicial justice is religion on the bench patriotisns
is religion in the public councils.''

So passeth-Grief's decsying form,
The murmur wrung from want and pain
For on the turf that wards the storm,
1t pours its cruel force in vain.
So pssseth too--The Poets fire -
Where autnmn's yellow branches wave,
His song forgot, the silent Tyre
Rests on the child of fancy's gravel
So passeth--Hope's decisive tale,
Profuse OF Joys--that meier shall come
She waves her treacherous garland frail.
OF flowers that perish in the bloom,
So passeth-Sorrow's cup of tears,---
When her lone child hath gone to rests
Beneath the turf Affection rears,
A refuge for the wounded breast.
So passeth--All that earth can boast
To wn--confer-create--p
All the warm heart can value most,
And all its weakness can endure.
Emblem Of Life AS thou shalt shine,
And flourish green and bright no more3
So Man who reads his fate in thine,
Must perish when his spring is Ger!
When Time shall shroud himself in gloons
On Natures last and darkest night
A hand unseen shall on her tomb
"Sic transit gloria .Nanli'' write /!

Let every pulse beat high with thee--and thrill
Pervade each soul and all intentions fill,

FROM THE BOSTON PALLADIUM, nov. 9.
TO THE FELLOW LEAF.

"!Sic transit Gloria Mltndi."
Pale harbinger Of Natures fate,
gIieve to think thy pride is past;
That such should be thy transient date,
So fallen and withered in the blast
So pass our joys, my bosom signs
AS autumn's foliage fades around;
"Even 500 each rustiing leaf replies,
That sweeps resistless DER the ground,
So passeth-Grandeur' nodding plume,
That waves above the ignobe crowd
Its march is rapid to the tomb,
While yet resound their plaudits loud.
So passeth--Flattery's vapor breath -
The labored wreaths the Hero wears,
But flourish-fanned by signs Of death,
And biossom-bathed in orphans tears
So passeth-Youth's aspiring sigh,
That fondly dwells on days to come;
Soon the vain wish that scars on high,
Is hushed and answered in the tomb.
So pssseth--We alth's deceitful gloss,
That mock's the heart to hope alive,
With promise formed of dust and dross,
Still Offering Wnat Ii cannot give.
So passeth--Beaury's roseate smile,
That buds when only life is new;
Cheers the dark path of Care awhile,
Then fades before the admring view.
So passeth--Lpve's enchanting kiss,
Its pleasing paints rapturous thrill.
Soon dies the transient taste of bliss
That cheek is pale--that heart is still !
So pesseth-Pleasure' rainbow hour -
Not long its varied colors last;
The lowering clouds collect their power,
And wnelln its beauties in the blast.
