There lives freedom in the wind, when Ger tn
fields Of Spring
II roams with gladnoss unconfined, on rich ant
dewy wing,
II wakes unbidden melody, where'er its wander
ings lie,
II fans the soft and vernal earth-relreShes all th'
sky;
II srs the green leaves into sound, and haunts thu
forest glades,
Till sweet and mournful tones are born within il
peaceful shades;
And every brook that on its way goes murmurint
along,
In the old and solemn wilderness, adds to the lre,
winds song.
The Sea, the mighty Sea is free! and on its sound
ing shore,
Its hoarseiy laundering surges burst, with deeI
and troubled roar;
The staggering ships, when tempests lower, sink
down into The tide
Wrecks Of ambitious man are they, the remnants
Of his pride!
And yet above the flashing gem, the diamond and
the pearl,
The vast and ioaming tide rolls on, the fea,hery
pillows curl
Cnmindful how, beneath the spray, all whitening
in the deep.
The bones of young and old arc strewn where los,
affections Sleep
The soft blue streams Of Spring are free, when
glittering in the sun,
Far TO the wide and heaving deep their pleasan,
waters run;
They sing to banks where early flowers perfume
the sunny air,
Unfolding all their tinted leaves, the beautiful and
fair;
Even the great Earth is moving on, and brings
each season round
The Sumner hour, and Winters sere and molan-
choly ground;
There's freedom in the golden cloud, which sails
along the West,
Dissolvng in sky of fire above the Ocean $
breast.
And shall the clouds, and winds, and streams, be
chanless all and free,
Oh MAN, while fetters Of the mind are lingering
over thee'
Shall the soft harnonies that rise, and m the fields
above,
Pour through the arches of the sky the eoquence
Of love,
While passions rude enhral The soul, and Sins
unhallowed cloud
Sinks on stern unbending heart, in desolation
proud!
Wake! Let the sun-beams burst thereon, like
morning the sea
The light which breaketh from above, and makes
the SPIRIT free!

When Temperance Societies were first
formed, he said, he had no faith in them
he viewed them as the offspring Of en-
thusiasm, and did not believe that they
would ever do any good. His prejudi-
ces were all against them. But, against
his will, and in opposition to all his pre-
conceived opinions, he had been con-
vinced, thoroughly and strongly con-
vinced Of the vast utility Of these socie-
ties. The benefits were 80 striking, and
SO universal, that he could not resist the
conviction, that they were doing immense
good. To speak Of the evils Of Intem-
perance, was, in his view, utterly super
huous. Nobody needed to hear Of the
evils. Every one knew them. They
were so manifest and abundant that they
were seen and read of by all men. But
the question is, what is the remedy -
These Societies, said he, tell US, absti-
nence, total abstinence, that is the reme-
dy, and there IS no other! If | had not
acted from the first, strictly and invaria-
bly, on this plan, having never had any
thing pass my lips, but the pure beverage
which God made for the drink o. man,
instead of representing in Congress, the
State of Pennsylvania, an honor of which
| may justly be proud, | might have
been a drunkard, wallowing in the gut
ter, and more filthy than the gutter in,
which | wallowed.
He then went on to state, that he had
joined Temperance Society himself;
and in a perspicuous and torcible man
ner, to illustrate the benefits, hich, should
all unite with the Society, would result
to our country and the world. If all
members Of Congress would pursue
similar course, we might hope soon to
see the curse Of Intemperance banished
from our land.

BE TEMPERATE EATING.

Were the motto of every individual
"eai 10 Hre, not lice 10 eat," we should no
doubt better fulfil the great design of our
existence. 1t is anentable fact if ac-
tions are allowed to speak, that vast
number of mankind have an unwarranta-
bic desire for strong or highly seasoned
food. The appetite, long trained TO ia
BILE indulgence, has acquired relish for
a species of food deleterious to health
Plain, simple diet is not relished, and by
a large proportion of the wealthy, is not
used; indeed, as | have before observed,
the fashion of the times is against it.
Many seem to imagine that simple or
plain food must of necessity be unpalata-
ble But is this the fact. 1t has been
shown that high seasoned, stimulating
food, often urges the stomach to receive
larger quantity than can be disposed Of
without inconv enience, and the conse-
quence is, that weakened, protracted di-
geston would supervene, and by the
time Of the next regular meal, (having
perhaps not disposed Of the former, or
been weakened in consequence of long
continued exercise is not in a situation
to receive food, has no relish, or to say
the least has not that keen vigorous ap-I
petite characteristic Of healthy stom-
ach. Now who does not see that the
system of diet plainest, (or in other words
easiest of digestion, which is managed
with the least disturbance will be calcu-
lated to leave the stomach in the health
lest condition. and who docs not perceive
that this very circumstance gives appe-'
tte and reIish' The man who has long
INDUCED himself with improper articles
Of food, finds it extremely difficult to sat
isfy himself. Plain food becomes as in
sipid to him as cold water does to the
man who has long indulged himself with
alcoholic potations. The sight of cold wa
ter viii never sharpen the appetite of the
inebriate, nor will the sight of plain food,
him who has long been addicted to in
temperate eating But have we not a
right to use the nutritious materials a.
kind Providence has bestowed, in such
manner as we pleasc' / conclude we
have the same right to undermine our
constitution, impair our intellects, and
hurry ourselves onward to the tomb, as
the intemperate has to use the alcohol
coming from the same article. If food
prejudicial to health can be manufacture
ed, | care not how slow its poisonous
effects would ask, does the fact give
US the license? Wher the command of
he decalogue plainly implies, that we
preserve our own lives, and the lives of
others, who can tolerate with impunity
even food, which by its quality or guam
ity Injuries the system?-[A "A physician Of
