Beholding this man of ancient days,
who enjoys, after the active scenes Of
life are over, patriarch's rest, and looks,
with a patriarch's faith, TO the "spirits
land" which lies beyond them, where is
he who would not wish to live long upon
the earth if he could thus live to useful
purpose and TO placid enjoyment.
! MIR Brown has in this city no seniors,
except Mr. Jabez Whipple and MIR 9th
neil Trip. He has, indeed, compara-
lively few, on the face Of the earth. -
This is no unimpressive fact. During
his protracted pilgrimage, what millions
of human beings have been withdrawn
from the living masses around him, to
swell the congregation Of unnumbercd
dead! Each was free and accounsa-
bic agent-each subjected to no inyin-
cible necessary, formed during his pro-
bationary course, that moral character
which went with him into eternity, and
which will abide with him forever -
Each lived III some sort, as every intel
ligent being must live, in state Of soli
tary communion with the mysteries OF hi
own nature and Of insulated independence
upon the Father Of Spirits. Each die'
alone-and each will be judged alone
! All this is momentous, universal, unal
terable verify. The dead may look up
Oh it--but they cannot change it. The
living can look upon it, but they may no
heed it.

THUS THINK.

Ii is a mans proper business to seek
happiness and avoid misery. Happiness
consists in what delights and contents
the mind misery in what disturbs, dis
composes or tormcnts it.
l will, therefore, make it my business
to seek satisfaction and delight, and "a
void uneasiness and disquiet; to have as
much Of the one, and as little Of the 9TH
or as may be. -,
But here | must have a care mistake
not; for if ! prefer a short pleasure to a
lasting one, it is plain that l cross my
own happiness. Let me then see where
in consists the most lasting pleasures OF
this life, and that, as far as | can observe,
is in these things:
lst, Health-without which no sensu-
al (as opposed to intellectually pleasure
can have any relish.
Cd, Reputation-lor that / find every
body is pleased with, and the want of i
! is a constant torment.
/ Sd, knowledge for the little know.

day, a year, seven years since, contin-
ues still to please and delight me, as Of
ten as reflect on it.
9th, The expectation Of eternal and
incomprehensible happiness in another
world, is that also, which carries con-
slant pleasure with it.
Ifthen, l will faithfully pursue that
happiness propose to myself, whatever
pleasure offers itself to me, must care
fully look that it cross not any of those
five great and constant pleasures above
mentioned. For example, the fruit /
see tempts me with the taste Of it that
love; but if it endanger my health, l part
with constant and lasting, for very
short and transient pleasure, and so fool
ishly make myself unhappy; and am not
true to my own interests.
Innocent diversions delight me; if |
make use of them to rest myself after
study and business, they preserve my
health, restore the yigor ofmy mind, and
increase my pleasure; but if spend all
or the greater part Of my time in them,
they hinder my improvement in know
ledge and useful arts-they blast my
credit, and give me up to the uneasy
state Of shame, ignorance and contempt,
4 in which | cannot but be very unhappy
Drinking, gaming, and vicious delights
will do me this mischief; not only by
wasting my time, but by positive inju-
ry eIdanger my health, impair my parts,
imprint i'll habits, lessen my esteem, and
! leave a constant lasting torment on my
conscience; therefore, all vicious and
unlawful pleasures l will always avoid
because such mastery OF my passion:
will alw ays afford me a constant plea
sure, greater than any such enj njoyments
and also deliver ME from the certain cvi
of several kinds, that by indulgng my
self in ii present temptation | shal! Ger
tainly afterwards suffer.
: All innocent diversions and delights
, as far as they will contribute to my
r health, and consist with my Improvement
= condition, and my other more solid plea
!, sures of knowledge and reputation,
will enjoy, but no farther, and this l vii
, careluly ly watch and examine, that ma,
not be deceived by the llattery Of a pre-
sent pleasure to lose greater.

INTEMPERANCE AND MURDER.


The following remarks of Judge Dag
get on the crimes occasioned by lntem-
perance, claim careful perusal and de-
liberate consideration by every one who
regards the welfare of his fellow crea-
lures, and who would adopt measures to
prevent the commission Of crimes, rather
than be driven to the painful necessity of
punishing the offender. The remarks of
Judge Dagget were made while passing
sentence upon David Sherman, convict
ed at the Superior Court, in Newton
don, Conn, who in a state of beastly in.
ioXicaton, had murdered his wife.
Here feel constrained to say to all
who have witnessed this scene, and to
this audience, behold the effects Of In
tcmperance-an innocent woman-a
helpless infant, mmdered!--a husband
and father sentenced to death for the
crime!! Look also at the records ofthe
sentenced to the State Prison, for often
ces committed under the influence Of III
toxic alton. 1t is now only three weeks,
since an individual was tried before the
Judge associated with me on this occa-
sion, for killing his wife; the Jury found
him guilty of manslaugh,er, and he was
sentenced to the State Prison for ten
years. This act was perpetrated in the
direct influence of a quart ofardent spir-
its, bought by the cuIprt from one OF
those tipplng houses, which so extensive
ly pcrvade our land Let the keepers of
those, tremble, lest the blood of murder.
ed bodies and souls should be required
at their hands.
Within the last five years, there have
been ten trials for life which | have wit
messed, and in eight Of these the acts
done were the immediate consequences
of drunkenness We also know, that to
this mighty evil may be ascribed a very
great portion of all tire connections which
disgrace our land. Hardly newspaper
can be taken up which does not contain
information Of some murder or death, by
fire or water, or by the hand Of the drunk
ard himself, under the influence of in
toxica,on. Dwellings which were once
the seats of peace and happiness are il
many cases, the houses Of lamentatiol
and woe; wretchedness, poverty, crime
and misery are every where to be foun'
in the train of this destructive vice. Il
it not the duty of good me;--of patriots
philanthropists and christians, to stant
forth between the dead and the living
against this overwhelming evil, lest they
be made to feel the full force Of tha
w,hering declaration, "Shall not visi
for these things? saith the Lord; an,
: shall not my soul be avenged on such
: nation as this?"

Shrine beneath whose hallow'd d shade,
Thus, my pilgrim vow is paid
All the perils Of my path,
Lurking foe, and lenpest's wrath,
Failing scrip and burning sky,
Fade away from memory's eye;
While wearied here my staff rest,
And feel within my ruptured breast,
High devotion's tranced glow
Danish every trace Of woe.
I.and!--whose consecrated breast
My Redeemer's footsteps prest-
From whose mountains bleak and bare,
Rose his lonely midnight prayer
Where his homeless life he led,
Where the mournful tear he she'd
Drank the cup Of bitter scorn,
Bore the taunt, the scourge, the thorn
Land Of the cross--the tomb, the shrine
bless thee, holy Palestine.

HYMN FOR YOUTH.
Yes, we will come, we hear
The friend Of childhood call;
We ope our hearts to him,
As flowers when sunbeams fall
Yes, we will come, when strength
Tinges our cheek with bloom;
The morning blossom sheds
The healthest perfume.
Yes, we will come, if joy
llumes our sparkling eyes;
When light is on stream,
i. but reflects the skies.
And we will come, should care
Disturb our joyful rest;
The storm that iiets the stream
Drives it TO oceans breast.
And we will come, should death
Call to an early tomb;
The seed that falls in spring
The earliest will bloom.
