SERIOUS REFLECTIONS.

"wne is mockcr, strong drink is raging,
and whosoevcr isdecevcd thereby, Is not wise.
PROF.. co. /.
When we reflect upon the words Of St.
Paul, in his first epistlc, "drunkarls shall
not inherit the Kingdom of God" Is it not
surprising that man should be mocked with
vine? Pause, diunkard, ere thou puttest
the cup to thy lips, and think! For be not
deceived: neither thieves, nor drunkards,
nor revilers, nor cXtortioners, shall inherit
cd by strong drink is not wise; Oh how many
are unwise. 1t is very common to hear
young men say, CATER having worshippcd
Bacchus,) that they were deceived. / have
witnessed the effects of that abominab!e vice.
| Who that has wisdom will follow such an cx-
ample Hast thou no regard for reputation :
No regard for the feelings of the wife Of thy
bosom and the children of thy own body j!
Remember the solemn vows thou madcst at
the altar, to cherish and support the innocent
being whohung trembling by thy arm, whilst
she surrendered to thy disposal, her happi-
ness and all that was dear-left the society,
the protection, the sweet communion of pa
rents and dear connections for thy sake And
how hast thou kept thy promisc-how fulfil
led the sacred obligations imposed upon
thcei Arouse every principle of honor
every manly thought--shake from thy feet
the dust Of sensuality, and assume the dignity
of man Wouldst thou have no regard
for thine own soul What torture thy
body into a thousand ailments and'plunge
thy soul into eternal misery And for what
To bow in the dust, the last hope of thy
wife, to make paupers and vagrants of thy
children and to plunge in sorrows deepest

honest pride that warns the breast of thy re-
lations Mark the words of the prophet

TEE PROGRESS OF ERROR.
"Avoid the appearance Of evil"

Great crimes generally spring from small
beginnings, as well as great trees and great
citics.-Thc heart grows hard and wicked
by degrees, and probably the worst man that
ever lived can recolcct time when he
shuddered, and hesitatcd, at the idea Of COM
mitting a small offence. This truth should
be often impressed upon the young-say to
them "avoid the appearance Of eyi,' for
every time you deliberately do wrong thing,
you pour a dose Of poison into the heart,
which will tend TO DESTROY conscience, and
break down the principles Of virtue, you
ought to cherish.
The traveller who put up at the old sign Of
the Gen. Wayne, in Alcsbnry, some fifteen
or eighteen years ago, promise you, did not
leave that house without shaking hands with,
and praising somewhat, Montgomery Rosco,
the innkeeper's son, as fine little boy as
ever blessed parent with the full blossom
ing of early promises. He was so obedient
to his parents, SO attentive and respectful to
strangers, SO Kind and invariably polite to
every one, and with all, he learned so smart
at school that every one loved, and admired
him.
Few youths ever left home with faircr
prospects and with better character than did

care of business doing merchant, that he
might get such an insight into the business,
as would Justify his father in setting him up
in store in Alcsbury, for this was the dcs-
tiny he had marked out for his fayorite child.
His history is directly in point in establishing
what l said at the beginning; and though
few may have passed through as singular a
complication of circumstance in their way, |
am fully satisfied that his, in all its main and
general features, is the history of thousands.
l said he was apprenticed to merchant
it was to one Mr. Marklcy his master es-
teemed him highly and placed in him unli-
mited confidence. For little while he re-
membered the kind admonition of his faith
full father, and bestowed great care on the
matter of selecting company-was conscien-
tious i'll the discharge of every duty-and tri-
ed as well as he was able to avoid the ap.
pearance of evil. One day, however, he
went to neighbouring store moment, to
see young gentleman and return borrow
ed book. His friend, very politely, drew a
glass of wine from one of the casks, and
pressed him to drink--he did SO, and depart

Sweet moon! that smil'st serene and bright,

Whose heavy sands run slowly by
Though have changed rs years have Aed,
And pale disease is on me now,

No cooling balm for one like me,

And of,on turned ardent eye

When wilt thou bring u smile to me.

some future time may probably favour the world
with a small volume entitled ."Inptohgia" (ker-
aunologia would be better stll,) with plates of
the various kinds Of knockers, and directions for
their use. In fashionable streets, (st obiter die
tum) the knockers ought to be OF silver, the only
objection to which is, that Notwithstanding the
marvellous effects of education) they would oc-
cttsioaly be stolen.
