around the scene of the deed. Now
such things are almost Of daily occur
renee, in the most enlightened portions
of the Union. To what this may be
owing, is perhaps hard to decide, but
the fact cannot be gain sayed that In
temperance is the grand moving princi-
pie in these acts of ignominy and blood.
The efforts that are constantly making by
the benevolent and the good, to check
this dreadful scourge, have met, and
will meet, with the best results. Only
few years have. elapsed since public
attention was awakened 10 the subject;
and the progress Of opinion against the
evil, has been steady and strong. The
publications issued by the Society, have
effected an incalculablc amount of good,
while the personal influence and exam
pie Of such distinguished citizens as Van
Rensselaer, and Vaux, have inspired
thousands to laudable emulation.
! One of the best objects to be attended
to, in the promotion Of this good cause,
should be, in our opinion, TO convince
the Incorporate, by plain moral sua-
sion, that they seek happiness in the
wrong direction, when they search for it
in the bowl. Conrince them once, that
the pleasure they chase is counterbal
anced by tenlolt misery, and the pur-
suit will soon be abandoned. Nothing
will sooner effect this, than a continued
exposition of the deleterious properties
OF sprituous drinks, and their sure de-
struction to the human system. A regu-
lar analysis Of the vile GIN used by thou
sands in London, has recently been made
by distinguished scientific gentleman,
and submitted 10 the public. 1t appears
from this, that the liquid is, in fact, RANK
POISON. Such, exclusive of wines, may
be said Of many Of the liquors used in
this county. Let those who use them,
be conrinced that they are poisoning
themselves, and they will turn from the
draught with loathing. Expositions OF
this sort, have had the happiest effect in
England, and we are confident they
| would have in America! No man would
take arsenic, even if it gave him delight
! for an hour, when he knew that death
would follow. Let this parallel be KEEP
in view, and lntemperance will melt be-
fore it.

Extract fIom Professor Palfrey's Sermons.
BROTHER AND SISTER.

"The relation of brother and sister to
one another, is undoubtedly, one of the
most beautiful which Providence has in
stituted; forbidding, from the different
pursuits Of the two sexes, any thing Of
that rivalry and interference, which is so
often the bane Of friendship, among 9TH
er equals, and without the possibility Of
the sentiment being tainted with any al
10y of passion, finding scope for that pc
culiar tenderness, strength, tustingness
of attachment, which belong to the rela-
tion of delicacy, dependence, and retire
ment on the one part, to energy, sclt-re-
lance, and enterprise on the other. Is
any thing more delightful, than to wit
ness this relation sustained, as God when
he arranged it, designed that it should
be? mutual confidence and esteem,
and sense Of privilege in each others re-
gard, evinced and renewed in every dai-
ly communication the sister watching
the brothers. growing virtues and conse-
quence with modest pride, while she
checks his adventurousness with her
well-timed scruples, and finds for him
way to look more cheerfuliy on his de-
ieats,-the brother, looking on the sis
ter's, with fondness that would be like
parents, only that it is gayer, more
confident, and more given to expression
and studying, with ambitious assiduity,
to require the guidance, to which his
impetuous spirit delights to yield itself;
the one Jealous and constant in all ac-
ceptable kindnesses, in her secluded
sphere, which God has given her an in
tuitiye sagacity to invent, the other de-
lighting to communicate all means Of i'm
provement, which his different opportu,
mites of education have prepared him to
offer; the one, gratefully conscious of q
protection, as watchful as it will be
prompt and firm, the other of an interest
ed love, which, whether in silence or in
words, can speak his praises the most
knowingly, where he may most desire to
have them spoken. Is any thing in the
relations appointed by Him, who, for wise
and kind ends, "has set the solitary in
families" more delightful to witness
than such brotherly and sistcrly devo
tion? lfthere be, it is what remains te
be added TO the picture. 1t is seer
when they who are thus united, make the
younger members of their band com
mon care, and turn back TO offer The
gentle and encouraging hand Of love
more discreet than that Of mere equals
and more familiar than the parental, to
lead their childish unpl actised steps along
the path Of filial piety, Of iraternal unior
and Religious wisdom, which themselves
walking together in it, have ioun'
throughout, way OF such pleasantnes
and peace. Yes earth has no faire
sight, than a company, so marshalled, o
young travellers to Heaven"

EXTENSIVE GREENHOUSE.

1t is not perhaps generally known, even
among our amateurs, that there is now
erecting in the vicinity of Boston, the
largest and most costly Greenhouse, in
the United States. This splendid struc-
ture is going up in Watcrtown, at the
country seat formerly belonging TO Mr..
Preble, now tho property Of wealthy
merchant, recently from China. Stroll
ling over these grounds, not long since,
we looked with surprise at the style and
magnitude Of this building, as also of
other improvements now in progress. Its
length will extend to nearly 400 feet, its
width in proportion, and will cost, when
complete, with all its apparatus for heat
ing, watering, and other purposes, little
short Of $4,000 Its contents will en-
brace an exceedingly numerous and rich
collection Of fruits, flowers and shrubs,
native and exotic, costing, perhaps, hall
as much more.
One division Of the building is TO be
appropriated, we understand, to the cul-
turc Of Pine Apples, fruit seldom at
tempted in this country, yet capable,
some say, Of being brought to as great
perfection here, by aid Of artificial heat
as in It's native cline.

DANIEL WEBSTER.

The following tribute of respect to
DANIEL WEBsTER,is taken from speech
delivered recently by the Hon. Francis
Bayiies, of Massachusetts, formerly one
of the most distinguished Jackson men in
that State:
On the deck Of the ship of STATE there
is one man--a veteran mariner, Injured to
storms and tempests, ,-the breakers are
around-the shore is on the lec-the
waves are rising OIL the watcry waste,
like the Pyramids Oh the waste of the
desart sands,-the thunder and the winds
are roaring in concert, each rising over
each, in mastery Of sound in these mo-
ments of appalling peril, when the Off
GERS are skulking, he scizes the helm
the ship shoots through the spray, and
the foam, and the spindriit, and soon
finds safety and sea room.
Amidst the dim and wild uproar Of dis
cordant passions, the voice OF one man
is heard, like the clang Of the trumpet
u voice that is not only heard, but felt.
In the deepest fountains of his heart, the
political sinner feels it. Like electricity,
it touches the living wic~cdness--thc
nest of ofscrpents which are brooding there,
and they die.
4 Yes, there is one man, who can trace
the exact line between iacliousness and
libcrty--between constitutional power
and incipient usurpation, and can sustain
with giants strength, the just authority
of the government, anc the rights Of the
people.
/ If contending factions should under
mine the temple Of Liberty-when il
falls, one man will be found waving the
banner ofthe Constitution over the ruins
and like the last Of the Romans, the
name OF DANIEL WEBSTER will be left lol
the venerston Of unborn Nations! AND
what name!! In far distant lands have
heard it. In lands, upon which the
star of the North, has never shone under
the clouds Of Magellan, under the eros.
Of the South, that name like the name o.
Washington, came like sunbeam into
the darkness.

POETRY.


From the New-England Magazine for August.
La Fayette.
BY MRS. L. IL. sIGoURNEY.
There was u sound Of woe
A spirt-strring shock,-
newborn nation slrove for life,
And monarch came down to the banner'd d strife,
As the lion meets the flock.
A youthful hero crossed
The raging Of the sea,
The blood Of France was in his heart,
And il glow'd as he took the infants part,
Who struggled to be frs.
There was a sound OF JOY
The warriors were at rest,
And the fearless child. with giants might.
Went forth in the strength of has lordly right,
And watched by the ocean pillows bright,
For the coming Of guest.
And the shout of welcome sped
From the mountain TO the main
The flowers Of gratitude wreathed crown,
And the vet'ran's tears with the babes fell down
LIKE gusn oi summers rain.
The idol hero came
Not with his sword Of might,
But silver hairs on hi. brow were strown,
And tho eye was meek that like lightning shoue
In the van Of the stormy fight.
lie had breathed the dungeons damps-
lie had heard the blast of fame,
When the cline ofhis birth like maniac rush d,
And the blood Of kings from its fountain gusl, d.
lie stood at his post, the same.
And he sought, by menory's chart,
For dell, and rock and stream,
But spell Of magic had fallen around,
And cities arose where the forest fiown'd,
And the far, lone lake, with masts was CROWN d
Like the changes of fairy dream.
The exutiug pulse beat high,
In the heart Of this western Zone
Ills home was the breasts Of the free and brave
No sceptred king, with the world his slave,
Fer sat on such throne.
There was a solemn knell--
Ger the Sumner breeze il stole
From town, and tower, and village bell,
On our listening nations ear it fell,
And woke the mourner's soul.
The hero slep, in dust
The mighty bore his pail.
The tears Of love on his tomb were shed,
The glory Of earth was around his head,
But from homer and wealth, and bliss. he Ged
To the highest joy Of all

Our good philanthropists sometimes
complain, and with justice, Of the in

murder or suicide, would create SEN

many hundred miles in circumference

Folly.


Folly.
There is folly 10 all The world.
Or 60 we east or westp
A folly that vexcs the old,
And keeps the young Fl ON rest
The miser ha, folly enough,
For his soul is in sordid bags,
And the spendthrift's folly, alas!
Brings him to sin and rags.
There is folly in statcsnen's schemes,
For, spite Of their plotting and wit,
There's wiser hand above,
That leads them with bride and bit.
There's folly in power and pride,
Tha, makes full many to fall,
There's folly in maidsn's love,
But that is the sweetest Of all.
But sf all the follies, the worst
For it stings with constant smart,
The scorpion Of the mind
is that Of thankless heart.
For tho thankless heart is cursed,
And with blessings encompass d grevcs--
For it cannot rejoice with the hand
That gives, nor yet receives.
To be thankful make better the good;
And If Heaven should send us i'll,
There is kindness in him that gives
So let US be thankful still.
Oh! let us be thankful in youth,
And let US be thankful In age
And let us be thankful through life,
For there's pleasure in every stage.
Youth has its own sweet joys,
And he must be blind as bat,
Who cannot soc loves sweet smile,
And will not be thankful for that.
There are friends the dearest to cheer,
Ere half our sand is run
And affection makes wintry days
As bright as the summers sun.
And when from the dearest on earth
We part, let US hope It's given
A boon to be thank'd for still
To meet them again in Heaven.

with great precision and solemnity. A large

an important part of the procession. On the fol-

PRESIDENT JAcKsoN's oPINIoNs.-The fol-
lowing toast was given by President Jackson, at
the entertainment gotten up by the citizens CT

" The true constitutional curency, Gold and

OF our country without the aid of a National Bank
an institution which can never be otherwise than
hostile to the Liberties of the people, because its
tendency Is TO associate wealth with an undue
power over the public interests
The following article from the Alexandra

jackson on the subjects of The Bank and the cur
rency Such positive contradictions excite the
contempt ef of every thinking man:
Gross nconsisfeacy,-In a reply to an invita-
'lon from the citizens of Huntsville to attend a
public dinner, the President of the United States
has written an answer, declining the honor. but
thanking them for their politeness which reply
concludes with this sentence

comment. The reader will see that the above
is an unqualified objection to the establishment
OF me bank, or a bank, or any thing like bank.
IN ms famous Veto message, this same President
OF the United States made the following equally
unqualified assertion in favor of the bank or q
bank:
That bank of the United States, competent

And again, in the same message, he said;
"a bank of the United States is in many re-
spects convenient for the Government, and use
iul to the People"

Amos ACKNOWLEDGMENT Duff Green has
recently volunteered TO write history Of men
and things connected with the Kitchen Cabinet
and N.Y. Government. In two numbers he
has demolished Amos Kendall in toto--if he is
not proof against all evidence Of knayery.
General Green demonstrates (for be deals In
facts and does not depend upon mere assertions)
that Kendalls perfdy and ingratitude TO Mr..
Clay was far blacker than it was ever before
understood TO be. 1t appears that while he was
protesting wish to go to Washington to defend
Mr. Clay from the ISLANDERS by which he was as
sailed, on condition that Mr.. G. would give him
an Office worth $500 he was at the same mo-
ment negotiating with the Jackson leaders in
Kentucky, and through the agency Of Green
was finally bribed to desert his friend, and be-
come one Of his assailants. These conflicting
negotiations, Amos Kendall was, with the dex-
terity for which he is celebrated, carrying on at
the same moment. II was perfectly in charac-
ter that he should desert his benefactor for a
few additional dollars. There may be other
scoundrels in the world, equal to Amos-but'we
thank heaven, we do not know them. He
seems TO us the very perfection of a knave.
Yet it is well known that he is the main spring
of the government.
