MISCELLANEOUS

DANGERS OF MODERATE DRINKING. Do not
say that exaggerate your exposure to intemper-
ance. Let no man say when he thinks ofa
drunkard broken in health and spoiled in intel
lect, 81 can never so fall" He thought as little
OF falling in his earlier years. The promise of
his youth was as bright as yours; and even aft or
his downward course, he was as unsuspicous
as the firmest around him and would have re-
PEELED as Indignantly the admonition to beware
Of intemperance. The danger of this vice lies
in its almost imperceptible approach. Few who
fall by it, know of its excuses. Youth does not
see or suspect drunkenness in the sparkling bev-
eraGe which quickens all its susceptibties of
joy. The invalid does not see it in the cordial
which his physician prescribes, and which gives
newtone to his debilltated organs The man of
thought and genius detects no paralysing poison
in the draught which seems spring of inspira-
ton to intellect and Imagination. The lover of
social pleasure little dreams that the glass which
aniinates conversation will ever be drunk in SOL
itude, and will sink him too low for the inter-
course in which he now delights lntemperance
comes with nosekss STEP and binds its first cords
with touch too light 10 be felt. This truth of
mournful experience should be treasured up bv
us all, and should Influence the habits and ar
rangement of domestic and social life in everv
class OF the community. DR. Claiming.
The following apt illustration of what the
English people are obliged to bear, for the SUD-
port of their government, is from the pen of Mr.
jeffrey, of the Edinburgh Review, and was
published several years since.
"Taxes upon every thing upon the earth, and
the waters under the earth-on every thing that
is put under the foot or covers the head-taxes
on every thing that is grown at home. or comes
from abroad-taxes on the raw material and eve

JOHN RANDOLPH AND Docs. The eccentric
John Randolph was much attached to dogs
notwithstanding they are sometimes afflicted with
hydrophobia. He was always opposed not only
to killing them off, as is so strongly advocated
by some of our cotemporaries but was even op
posed to laying tax on these sagacious quad
rupeds.-The' following anecdote was preserved
of this singular man,
Mr.. Randolph once met Mr.. Monroe, a short
time subsequent to the appointment of the latter
to high and responsible office, when the con
versation turned upon the project of a law con-
temPated in Virginia. for laying heavy tax up-
on dogs, with view to protect the breed of Me-
rlno sheep. Mr. Monroe advocated the project.
and was thus rebuked by his old friend-sCoIon'

Star of my life that in childhood's hour
Didst watch DER my dark and erring way
Guide of my path oh long may thy power
Still shed DER my soul its holy ray:
AS light from above
May my mothers love
lllumine the path where my footsteps stray!
Parent how oft, like form of light,
Hath thy image come DER my sinking heart,
When care hath Cypress or the whitening blight
OF grief would have sever'd its chords apart
And in accents mild
Reproved thy child,
And pluck'd from his breast the envenom'd dart
Source of my being! thy mem'ry still
Shall cheer me along on my pilgrim way;
And, like the voice of the fountain ril
4 That murmuring glides through its foaming
No spray,
Shall thy voice cheer
My lone path here

Congress adjourned on Monday last.
Several members passed through here
last night on their way home, among
whom were the Hon. Judge White of
Tennessee, and the Hon. William Mont
gomery and II. W. Conner of this state.
We understand that the Sub Treasury
bill was lost in the House by a majority
Of l2 votes--l07 to ll9.
The resolution requiring the postage
on letters sent by the express mail to be
paid in advance, has become law. -
During this brief session, we have
been indebted to the Hon. Judge Strange,
of the Senate, for several public docu-
ments. and to the Hon. Dr. Montgomery
for the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury; for which they will please &C.
cept our thanks. !, -
In our paper to-day. we have given the
whole of Mr.. Calhoun's speech on the
bill authorizing the issue Of Treasury
notes. We have received the speech Of
Judge Strange on the Sub-lreasury bill.
Although an able speech, its great length
may constrain us to publish only extracts;
but it is our intention to give as much OF
it as we can in our next.

Speculation.


These new tangled ways, which are seen now-aosys
Are the curse and the bane OF the nation;-
They're fun of conceit ard with mischiefreplete,
A deusiye and vile speculation
s,uv wbins of John Bull and of folly 50 full,
That they merit full condemnation;
So pocket your gold and no longer be food,
With this game people call speculation
A flo for steamboats, and United States notes,
They're tissue vile botheratioR;
We can sail full ) fast with brig and ma~'
So let's have more speculation
What's the nse OF adray to take baggage away;
Locomotives from station TO stations
Whena barrel on sack you can take on yourback,
And thus stopeyery wild speculation.
Then these fine beaver hats and your toppsh crava
To- a shame they are used in this nation,
While the Ladies they choose bonnets and shoes,
And IFS done to indulge speculation.
Then they talk about marriage, and driving carriage,
With bug gies and suks in rotations
When a wheel-barrow sure, i much more secure,
And il don't want Misrepresentation.
And some ofthese looms wluse knives and spoons,
But their insolence merits starvation
Let them ronble their with their fingers and paws
And denounce and abhor speculation.
This experiment sure, il will bring cure,
AMI make us the pride of all nations;
With sack cloth and ashes" and dirty old u'ashes,
Wen dish up and damn specuations. SoUIE.
