LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER

LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Let us love one another, not long we may stay
In this bleak woild Of mourning some droop while
tits day;
Oilers fade in their noon, and few linger ill
Oh there b eaks not IA heart but leaves some one
20 grieve:
And the fondest, the purest, the truest that met,
Have sIiII found the need to forgiye and forget
Then oh though the hopes that we nourish decay,
Let us love one another rs long stay.
There are some hearts like ivy, tho all lie decayed,
That seems to Irvine fondIy in sunlight and shade;
No leaves droop in sadness, still gaiy they spread,
Undm'd midst the bligmet the lonely and dead
But the mstleloe clings TO The oak not in part,
But with its lea,es closely round it the in its
heart
Exists but 10 Irvine -imbLc the same dew,
Or TO fall with its lov'd oak and per sh there too
Thus, love one another midst sorrow the worst,
Unaliered and fond as we loved at the first
Though The false wing Of pleasure may cha ,ge and
forsake,
Aud the brish, sun Of wealth into particles break
There are some swcc, affections that wealth canno,
buy.
That cling but still closer when sorrows draw nigh
And remain with us yet though all else pass away
Thus, let us love one another us long as we stay.

Therefore, if we would lay firm basis

Is BY 40 means the best course.
Convince them that in general n small

Convince them that little well titled, is
better taan much half titled.
Convince them that two loads of ma nure

Convince them that three good cows are

The SANDWICH ISLANDS AND THE MIS-
sIoNARtEs.-The American Quarterly Re.
view tor September, gives the following
delightful picture OF some of the benefits
which the Sandwich Islands have derived
from American Missionaries
Since the establishment of the American
Miss'on, now about sixteen years, most
material change has taken place in this
people in many respects and when we
state that reading and writing-aye, and
printing too-have been introduced nv the
missionaries and are extensively dffused,
and that the natives feel the most intense
interest in these precious Is, we have said
all that an intelligent reader will desire to
know in order to form an estimate of their
fnr1re prospects. For these advantages,
OF which the natives are fully sensible. they
have been indebted to Americans. Their
curious'y constructed language, of more
than Italian softness, was first reduced to
wiring by American missionaries, accord
ing to plan originally proposed by an A.
merican and by which their children and
adults learn to read in vastly shorter time
than it is possible to learn our language in.
They have their elementary books of all
the mos. useful and necessary kinds-prim.
mers, spelling books and reading books I:
and among these we cannot fail to mention
a book of arithmetic, The study of which is
almost a passion with them, and, IN the
opinion of the missionaries, has done more
10 excite their thinking powers than has
been effected by any other work ever pub
liShed for their instruction. The Gospels
and other parts OF the New Testament have
been for some time in common use among
them The types are set up, aud The work
done by native printers, but of course not
without the aid of Amercans- and VIVA,
will surprise our readers more, we have
now lying before us Two different newspa.
pers, published in the language ofthe island;
one ON a who whole sheet, and the other
on half sheet, of the large qnarto size.
and quite as respectable in their external
appearance as the average of OF our own
gazettes. Our readers, we are sure, will
not be dispeased to have a brief notice of
these two journals, the first fruits of what
we must call, however strange it may sound
to our civilized ears, the literature of the
Sandwich Islands.

TEMPERANCE Town. SIX years ago
was founded the town of Rock well, on the
Illinois river, embracing about 400 acres.
Its foundation was laid on the principle Of
the entire exclusion ofardent spirits; and a
covenant running with the land is to be
inserted in all deeds that no ardent spirits
shal be manufactured or sold it, any lot in
the town under the penalty Of a forfeiture.
The inhabitants OF this town amounting to
near 1000, have from the commencement
adopted aud strictly adhered to this system
Of exclusion and from the newt able loss
that would now be sustained by a departure
from this principle barrier will be erect
ed that connot be demolished by The keen
est thirst for rum, or the most unbounded
cupldty. We like the idea and hope that
other towns will follow their example -
Who can doubt tina, citizens growing up
under such regulations, would be more in
dustrious, enlerprislng and patriotic; that
morals would be of n more elevated cast,
and that every thing connected with human
happiness here aud hereafter, would be
more prosperous than where streams Of
liquld poison are suffered TO prey upon the
viials ofcnmmunlty Who would not pre-
fer the sobrlety, decency and peace of a
strictly temperate community, to that in
which the rum drnker is made a boisterous
demon, terror to his family, and a nuisance
and burden to society9

many die young, and go few live to old
age. or even to middle life. We will en-

to our own observations. In the first place
young men half century ago were bro't
up and educated to more industrious,
economical, and temperate habits. They
were then under tutors and governors,
aud compelled to be obedienl to their pa
rents and masters. They were made to
retire to he'd early, and to rise early. and to
exercise themscvc. at some kind ot manual

breakfast lat some kind Of work. before
they ate it. Their food then was much
coarser and palmer, and therefore more
healthy. IF ,le same kind of conduct and
living were pursued now towards our boys
and young men, they would be as healthy
and robust nav as their predecessors were
and live to as great an age; and so would
