The above quotation from Holy Writ,
displays the miserable consequences that
result from Iniemperance /; and places be-
fore us, in flew words, the wretched state
that will inevitably oyeriake lis votaries.-
The profound wisdom of him from whom
il emanaied, renders il in the highest de-
gree, worthy of our attention ii offers to
our consideration, the most impressive les
son. Solomon had deeply studied human
nature he had viewed its yarioAs modis-
catmns, aud traced, with uncrrine judgment,
the incEnations of men, 10 their source
Tue ways of pleasure we're well known To
hlm--for he informs us, that he bad tried

draught, aud found that, notwithstanding
Joy sparked on the surface, distress and
BITTERNESS urked below. After riotmg in
every enjoyment that could crafty the cor
rupt feelings of our nature, he found how
incapable they were ofgiving happiness
and, in the pains disappointment, he ex-
claimed aSinst their vanity and delusion.
Experience taught him, that all that APP
peared fair, was not in reality so-he listen
ed to the uucrriug voice Of truth, Il turned
with disgust and safety from them. In
the above remark, we have the opinion
which snch reflections obliged him to nc
knowledge. His goblets blushed with the
wines ot every ,intage-his tables groaned
with every deHcacy. Beauty lured him to
her bowers, and music charmed him TO re-
pose. The came of his wisdom, WAS wait.
ed 10 the rcmotest regions aud the SPLEEN
dsur of his court, eclipsed those of the
surrounding sovercigns. His riches were
onbounded all the trapplngs Of greatness
glittered around him, and his armies were
strong and mighty. He stood in the pride
OF his beauty, with every terrestrial plea
sure blooming around him, that the most
grasplrg ambition could desire, or the most
luxurious rolnptuary could pant after
YET he found not happiness. The purple
Wine, though pleasing to the eye, and
grateful to the palate, he tells, will, in the
end, sting like the biting serpent, spread

our souls with the hitter pangs of ,emorse,
and mar our peace OF mind with grief and
contention.
1t has been observed, with much Justice,
that drunkard should be treated as Il man
in state of lunacy. For, If he is unable
to direct his affairs, and attend 10 the du
ties which deyolve en- him in society, who
by some dreadful misfortune, or the awful
visitation of God, is deprived of his reason,
now much more unfit is he who, regardless

sympathy and protection the other. ON

from the Hampden Journal some very judicious
and spirited reflections upon O'Meara's" Toice

read and designed to reverse the Judgment
long since passed by the world upon the char
acter of Napoleon
1t is not the least remarkable of the Won
ders OF the day that publication, containing
bonaparte's own comments upon his actions.
and his own explanation of his motives
should have satisfied many, as it seems to
have done, that his character has been iuds.
ed unjustly by his conduct 1t seems that
better criterion Of character is established.
What man chooses to say OF himself, es-
pecially man labouring under the worst inn
putations, is better evidence than the unvary-
ing conduct of a long career of oppression and
crime The truth is, that sympathy for suf.
ferings, (whether inevitable or needlessly
caused,) has blinded judgment.

A circumstance of most atrocious
character transpired in Wethersfeld,
on Friday night Of last week. Two
men, in one-horse wagon, driving
through WethersfeId street, met a young
lady returning from neighbours imme-
diately after dark: they stopped the
horse, seized theelady, and drove off,
After perpetra,ing crime of the most
horrid character, they threw her over
a bridge, into ditch, little below
Wethersiie!d. She was found next
morning, in meadow near the bridge,
in a state Of mental arrangement. She
could give but an imperfect recital of
the facts, and only recolIects that one of
them wore plaid cloak. The officers
of justice are in pursuit of them, and
reward of five hundred dollars is offer
ed for their apprehension.
