cluse. l might have spared myself this
latter work ofsupererogation; for no SOON
er bad we reached the chamber, and the
ear of my companion approached the key
hole, than the listening contraction of his
face dllated to a most expansive self-lauda-
tory grin, as he exclaimed, Pm blowed if
didn't so--he's at it again, snoring away
like bass-viol. | never see no sich a var

From the landlord gathered, that the
party in question had arrived by the Lon
don coach some days before; and after ta-
king a hasty dinner, retired to bed, desi-
ring to be called at eight o'clock the next
morning: that, at the hour appointed, to
the repeated vocilerations of the water, 'Tis
eight, zur,' accompanied by a furious cam
nonading on the door-pannel, no sort of no.
uce was vouch-safed by the inmate; that
iorclble entry was therefore deemed exne-
dent, when, to the CONSERVATION of the as
sembled besiegers, our little hero was dis
covered seated at the foot of the bed, bolt
upright, dead asleep, and in full snore, his
leit arm embracing one of the pillars with
most amatory zeal. In this situation he
must evidently have remained throuohout
the night, his candle being quite burned
out, and the operation of undressing having
proceeded no further than the dotfnq of
coat and waist-coat, one boot and stocking
the bootjack being still attached to the
heel Of the other boot. The SINGLE .Hol-
lands bottom recorded against him in the
bar-book, quashed the rising suspicion of
mtoXlcation as the cause of his OUTRAGEOUS
nap; although this might reasonably have
been entertained from the cool manner Of
his informing the waiter, who awoke him
after no gentle fashion, that 'he thought he
would have his tea now, and 90 to bed. as
he felt somewhat tired from his iournev.'
AT length, however, conviction of the real
state of affairs stared him in the face, and
ne stammered out some incoherent apollo
gies for his apparent extraordinary conduct
that it had been an infrmity with him
since his birth-and he was constantly be-
ing betrayed by it into the most awkward
situations. This was all the landlord knew
OF him; but connected as it was with his
mckless contretempts in the church, it be-
gat an interest about him, which determin-
ed me on taking the earliest opportunity
OF making his acquaintance, and ascertain
ing little more of his history. On de-
scending to my breakfast the next morning,
discovered, to my modification, that he |
had contrived to get the start of me, and
was off again by the London coach-a
ticket which had escaped from his carpet
bag being the only clue to the mysteries of
The local habitation and the name of this

You are now in the spring season of life.
As you sow so will you reap. The world
surrounds you withits thousand temptations.
Snares are on every side, for your swift
destruction. You laugh at the thought of

be merry. So have hundreds before YOU,
who have gone early to drunkard's grave.

lated the law of their nature, they subjected
themselves to the law of stimulus, e. made
their destruction sure. We would abridge
you IN no innocent pleasures. We are not
gloomy ascetics. Temperance and gloom
have no congenialiiy, The gloomy man is
the man of vice: the young man with
broken constitution vitiated, gnawing ap-
petite torturing conscience; who wears
perhaps cheerful comtenance in the riot

some amusing scenes have occurred du-

has been related to us. An officer of a
bank called at the store of merchant, and
politely informed him that he had overdrawn
his account five thousand dollars, "Well,-
l know that" was the reply; "and what's
