Communications accumulate upoDou hands
with such rapidity, that we despair Of being
able to publish half the number we receive.
We have now from twenty to thirty, which we
have not had leisure to pcruse, so much even,
as to ascertain the subjects upon which they

TEMPERANCE.


The nearest approach thou canst make
to happiness on this side the grave, is to-
eniov from Heaven. health, wisdom, and
peace of mind. These blessings 1t thou
possessest, and wouldst preserve to old
age, avoid the allurements OF voluptuous-
ness, and fly from her temptations. when
she spreadeth her dellcacies on the board
when her wine sparkleth in the cup, when
she smileth upon thee, and persuadeth
thee to be joyful and happy; then Is the
hour Of danger, and let reason stand firm
|ly on her guard. For if thou hearkenest
unto the words of this adversary OF virtue
thou art deceived and betrayed. TheJoy
which she promiseth changeth to madness
and her enjoymenls lead on to diseases
and death. Luok round her board, cast
thine eyes upon her guests, and observe
those who have been allured by her smiles
who have listened to her temptations. Are
they not meagref are they not s'ckiy
are they not spiritless? Their short hours
lofio!lity and riot, are followed by tedious
hours Of pain, and detection. She hath de
