the country, than the brandy decanter ! Let us but look for moment into the bills of mortzlity in. almost every city iu the country, ahd read over the list of deaths. The item which first strikes us, almost universally, is the number ofthOse persons, not who died of intemperGnce, but who are cut of by consumption. Recent instan- ces of this kind has been brought under our notice in the "Reports ofInterments" for the city of Baltimore, Boston, and Washington. Out of 17O2 deaths in the Ecily,of Bal imcre, for 1928, we find 295 that died 6: consumption; and only 12 of Iintemperance. In Boston, out of 1253 deaths, fol 1928, there are 229 of consump- ton. and 24 by intemperance. In Wash ingron for the same period, out of 254 deaths, 37 were of consumption, and 7 of drunkness. The bills Immortality of New | fork and other cities, would show the same relation between these disorders This great mortality, created by con- sumption, occurs, too, among the young, active, and promising members of society, of both sexes. s+ ets'
 What, then are the causes of this deplo- rable inequality? Fashion fashion! fash ion! Imemperance is a low, vulgar, dis- reputable vice. It requires only to be seen to Dc despised. It strikes the senses at once. But the parent of consumption- the parent of that disorder which stays her thousands and tens of thousands, is per miited to walk abroad in the world without molestation. geShe is arrayed in the habil- iments of gaiety and who can suppose she carries death under her smiling exteri- or? She comes forth in the morning, glit- tering with the gold of Opilir, and fiaunt- ing in the modes of France. Who can re- sist her allurcments !? She visits every fash- ionable resort in the country delight, wit, and e <altation follows in her train. Who can believe that death hangs upon her foot steps The. palace is illuminated by her smiles the ball-room is brilliant with her presence and every public occasion bor-. rows half its delights from her arts and her Vaccinations. Vanity, pride, afftctation, ev-. cry vice,and some of the virtues of civilized society, minister to her qualifications, and swell the numbers of her victims.
 Is it not time, therefore, that the anti intemperance gentleman should turn their attention to field spacious enough for the greatest enterprise of benovolence and vir- tue! An nti-fashion party is much wan ted.-N. Y. Eng.

THE FUGITIVE GLADIATOR.

THE FUGITIVE GLAD1ATOR.s
 The following powerful and affecting de- scription oftbe flight ofa Roman gladiator from his brutal master is extracted from MT Horace Smiths new novel, entitled Zillah, a Tale of the Holy City. The time is during the second triumvirate and the heroine of the tale the daughter of the second high-priest of the Jews. Zillal, is on the road to Rome. ,4y
 As she gazed vaguely around her, r,list- ening rather than looking, she perceived something stealthily moving amid the foli-. age, midway up one of the prodigious oaks scarcely twenty yards from their carriage. At first she cojectured it to be some wild creature, but another moment undeceiyed her. Yes, yes, it was he--the fugitive, holding his sword in his mouth, and clan,- bering up the oaken tower, as if he had been fashioned by nature for the purpose, "a clawed animal, thing of the woods. In- stantly averting her eyes, lest her gaze should direct othersto the same spot, she fixed them upon the ground, and clasping her hands, remained for some moments, in an agony of suspense, almost afraid to breathe .and still .piore fearful of betraying her emotion. The'shout of many voices. tho glamour of a brazen throated trumpet blowing b peal of triompl, and the honrse { cries of Found! found In the, tree! in the great oak Y revealed to her that inc object ofher deep solicituda was discover. ed ,; and as she clung to her father, trem- bling with agitation, and nttering an inyol- untary sob of sympathetic anguish, she a. gain cast up her eyes to see whether tho poor wretch might still possess some chance of escape. m
 Conscious as hc must have been thai he was discovered, he neither accelerated nor retarded his progress; but appearius < to bestow no attention whatever upon ,l,, hubbub beneath him., and the numerou pursuers who were nou conyerging hastil, towards the spot, he continued climbinc- up--np--up, till he had nearly gained ih summit of the tree, where lea6ess bar bough, apparently ono that had hccn blast ed by the lightning, shot itself into the gid ! dy ar, stretched athwart the road.

 With shades of purple penciiing, /. Round Milton height hath wreatled a crown, On which the quiet stars look down.

 In his wide path remembers thee, And hails, with song and wild acclaim, The bay that bears thy pilgrim name.e Yet Boston, lovelier far art thou, 4 Than this sweet crown upon thy brow,-- asa And night, in all her halls of flame, Hath found no words to speak thy fame. Clear, intellectual, serene,

VIRTUE.

Virtue isthe daughter ofheaven happy
 those who cultivate it from their infancy ; they pass their youth in serenity; their
 manhood in tranquility; and their old age
 without remorse. There is nothing in this
 world fit to be compared with it; all its
 wishes and desires are to celestial enioy- ments, which are not liable to change. The virtuous man looks back on his past
 conduct without regret, because his fate
 cannot but be happy. His mind is-tt
 seat of cheerfulness, and his actions are the foundations of felicity; he is rich amid poverty, and no one can deprive him of what he possesses he is all per- fection, for his life is spotless !; and he has nothing to wish for; since lie posses ses every thing. Alexander was cele- bratcd for his courage Ptolemy for his learning Trajan for bis love of truth Antonius for his piety Constantius for his teinpera,ice; Scipio for his confluence; and Theodosius for his humility. Oh glorious virtue, which, in some or other, rewards all its admirers, ,and without which there can be no real happiness
 The tongue is woman's sharpest wea- pon of defence, and some say, it was the last evil that fell from Pandora's box-but it must have come out first, for it could not bear such long confinement.
