DRAM DRINKING.

A Scotch parsOn one preached a
long sermon against dram-drinking, a
vice very prevalent in his parish, and
from which report said he was not him
self wholly exempt. +" Watever ye
do, BRETHREN" said he, edo it with
moderation, and, aboon all, be mode
rate in dram-drinking. When you
set up. indeed. ye may take a dram,
aui,her just before breakfast, and per-
haps anither after; but dinna be al
ways dram-drinking. If We are out in
the morn. ye may just brasc yerself up
with anither dram, and perhaps take
anither before luncheon, and some, ]
fear take ane after,wbich is no SO very
blamable but dinna be always dram
dram draining away. N@body can
scruple for one just afsre dinner, and
when the dessert is brought in, an at.
ter it's ta'en away; and perhaps one,
or it may be twa, in the course of the
afternoon, just to keep ye fra drows.
ying and smelling but dinna be al
ways Misunderstanding. Afore tea
and after tea. and between tea. and sup.
per, and before and after supper. is nc
more than right and good but let me
caution ye, brethren, not to be always
dram draining. Just when ye star,
for bed, and when ye're ready-to por
intor, and perhaps when ye wake N
the night, to take dram or twa is nc
more than Christian may lawfully
do; but brethren, let me caution you
NIT to drink more than I've mentioned
or may be We may pass the boonds o
moderation.

This distribution of the force leaves
but single sloop of war in commiss

to. and employed in the protection o.

THE wITHERED FLOWER

The flower you gave me is faded,
And the vows that you breathd were un
true,
The bosom whose peace you've invaded,
Still sighs-but it sishs not for you !
Twas the semblance Of honour that wen me
Not the wretch in that semblsnce arrayd
Now your spells have no power upon me,
For I've found that worshippd shade.
Could the tears have shed on this flower
Its fragrance and beauty renew,
nigh hope that repentance had power
To alter--to purify yos;
But alas il is wither'd forever,
No art can its sweetness restore
And the name Of its giver will never
Be unsullied and dear as before,

Mansion House.-BarOn Joseph
Ferli, Colonel in the Spanish service,
and during the struggle of the Spanish
Constitutionalists, Governor of the
fortress of Lerida. came to the Justice.
room yesterday, after the Lord May
or had retired. for the purpose of bor-
rowing a few shillings, of which he de.
clared, but without betraying any
symptom of detection in his counten.
ance or manner, he stood greatly in
need.
The noble Spariard, whose landed
estates had produced to him $4,000
francs annually. joined the Constitu-
tional army, when it became necessa-
ry to make sacrifices to The cause, and
was engaged in most of the battles
which took place in his unfortunate
country. Upon arriving in this coun.
try, after the defeat his hopes, and
in the last stage of want. he applied to
the Spanish Committee. whose finan.
ces were such as prevented them, in
consequence of the numerous demands
upon them, from allowing him as much
money as would buy the means of COW
ering his naksdness, without stopping
that allowing weekly out of the few
shlIlings advanced to him for, food and
lodging. The cravings of nature
we're not to be postponed, and hunger
one of the most uncomprosing, com.
peued him for several nights to dis.
pense with the protection Of his mis-.
cradle apr. tment, and to walk about
the streets, from which almost every
other person, 1t appeared to him. had
some refuge to fly to. He had thought
that an application to Lodge ol
Freemasons, of which body lie was one
would have the effect of producing
something in the shape ofrelief. Hc
accordingly applied, but failed fol

necessary in the Recommendation of 0

as 1t was the one SO many of his once
laf1uent but now poor and desolate
countrymen had depended upon. came
to the Mansion House to borrow tri
tile-even few halfpcnce would b,
serviceable. Hi. wife, who had beef
starving in Span, was expected By
him to join his fate here; 50 that, al

When its glory hath pass'a through the gates

And soar in its sweetness to Heaven

The cuckoo sighs lonely the dim vale along,

And list with delight to the beat of her heart
When she bears the soft footsteps of love
