CONSCIENCE.
There is secret monitor,
An unseen, living, silent thing,
That tells me whensoe'er err,
Loud as the loudest bell can ring.
Bplunder occupies my thought
If murder darkiy says make sure
If treach'ry to my mird be brought,
Or falsehood strives my tongue to lure;
II inhumsnity arise
To turn me from a scene ofwoe;
Or pleasure. in deceptive guise,
Is tempting me with her to go;
IF only one unkind remark
Is rising to my needless tongue,
Or glowing ev'n the slightest spark
Of anger-virtue might deem wrong;
Ebut in deed, or word, OF thought,
There is what never ought to be
Quick by this monitor 'tis caught,
And Judged in fairest equity.
This secret monitor, so still
This judge impartial and severe,
CONSCIENCE and it hath the will,
And spirit-pow'r to make us hear.
We cannot f1y it-no for where
Our eyes may turn or footsteps bend,
W. or, ,,oS% cttra IN meet ~ ther,
Asjulge, accuser, or as friend.
Whom its advice and hints receive
As from kind iudcious friend,
And act upon them-whlst they live
Find self.esseem their steps attend.
When its montions rashly sight,
And headIong break from all control,
Prove its collected, whelIning might,
Whilst thousand dsggers pierce the soul
Then may I, virtuous, be so blest,
To know approving CONSCIENCE rise;
Than feel, within guilty breast.

The moderate drinker always COM
plains of injustice when he hears him
self classed with the drunkard Let us
compare the merits of the s0oaij be Sc.
parate classes, and see if the traits are
not so similar, as to determine that
they rank in the same class.
Hho taen is drunkards
II we lock around The world, we
shall fiDd many different opinions res
pecting what constitutes drunkenness
We suppose drunkard 20 be one, who
drinks so much ardent spirits every day,
that at evening he is incapable of walk
ing stsei,ly or talking platnly--oue who
once in week, month, or three months,
drinks so much as to be incapacisted
from business Or one who once in
three months, or once in twenty four
hours. drinks so much as to produce an
unnatural excite ment upon the system
Il is we'll established fact, that no at.
dent spirit can be conveyed fnto the
Human System without producing an
excitement; and any excitement pro.
duced by artificial means is unnatural
or morbid. This morbid excite ment is
what constitutes Drunkenness. Aav
person, therefore. who drinks ardent
spirits in the smallest quantity, does
produce IN a certain degree this unna
tural excitement; and whoever does
this is drunkard All who drink any
ardent spirit must belong to this class.
IPhGt is moderate drinking2
Here there seems to be no standard
rule, no process of reasoning, by which
we can come to any conclusion; we
must therefore refer to public opinion,
TO determine the question Ask the man
who drinks none, he will answer that
nothing short of entire abstinence is
moderate rum d:ikiug Ask next the
men who drink a comparatively small
quantity each day. One will answer
that two glasses-another that three
glasses each day--and third that to
get drunk once in three months, or once
In a month, surely is moderate. 90
now to the confirmed drunkard, and he
will answer that it is moderate to drink
as much as you want. Suppose a case.
The druukard meets in bis way the mo-
derste drinker. and reeling up to bio
inquiries; "Yoa, my friend, are a mo
cefste run drinker?" III am, Sir"
We'll, and how much rum do you
diiuk each Days GAS much as need
or want" "And )" answers the drunk.
Martinsburg gazette and public advertiser. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1826-1833, 1829-05-28

ard "drink no more than need or
want" Now l ask where is the differ
encei one drinks as much as be thinks
he needs or wants, the other no more.
Both are actuated by the same prinei-
pie, governed by the same rule But
whence originates this diversity Of O.
piniou, respecting the definition of mo-
derate driSking. The reason is obvious
There is no such thing as MODERATE
rum drinking land people cannot a
gree upon the standard Of thing which
IS not. The question then settles itself
dowa to this:-Every man who drinks
ardent spirit, however little or much,
however often or far between, is in his
o,on estim alton moderate drinksr. Let
US compare the moderate drinker and
confirmed drunkard, and mark the diff
ference. The drunksrd drinks at all
times, and without any moral or rei
gious restraint, as muck ardent spirit
as he has a desire for-tbe moderate
drinker drinks no more than be has a
desire for. The difference then consists
in drinking as much or no more than you
waut-it is SO slight that no man can
draw lire and say, the ore is right,
the other wrong. The difference in
grade, among drunksrds, is owing to
the different quantities of spirit they
take He who takes great quantity
is completely drunk-He who drinks
less is less drunk and he who drinks a
very little is very little drunk. But
| all are drunk EDGAR.

For suit on hopes deluaye smile,

Where oiliews round him roll.
IT'S strange the human heart should trust,
The nOrs the danger seems,
The more 10 hopes vain Jos that must

And thus it was till DER the bed,

And gently held tbe isintlng head,
Ana teas ot tender sorrow she'd

The angel OF death mad sent;
Add thriee the mothers breaking heart.
With anguish had beeR reat
And now she gAzed upon the last,
ExpTingin her sruls,
And IS the memory oftbe past
Roi'j o'=r her soul. One look she cast
UpoD her faded charms.
II was enough! What tongue may tell.
A mOtners' ygoay,
When she stood Dy the solemn cell

Upon her last one dead;

Alone she bends beneath ber woes,
