POETRY
I'VE THROWN THE BOWL ASIDE. !

I'VE THROWN THE BOWL ASIDE. !
By CHARLES +. AMEs.
I've thrown the bowl aside,
For me no more shall flow
Its rudy stream or sparkling tide,
how bright soccer it glow;
I've seen extended wide
Its devastating sway,
Seen Reason yield its power to guide
I've cast the bowl away!
o, ne'er tempt me again
To drain the cup of sin;
For ruin dire, disease and pain,
Taint all that foams within;
Neglected duties rise
In fearful, sad array,
Up to its brim, will be wise,-
I've cast the bowl away!
I've seen the pride of all
The wise, the good, the great
Like summer leaves, all timeless fall,
And veil their high estate;
I've seen fair woman give
Her every charm away
Embrace the demon vile, and live =
I've cast the bowie away
My days of revelry
0 gladly / give up;
They're but the masks of misery,
IL
While Incidence and Want
And Poverty. display
Themselves in every drunkard's HAUNT
I've cast the bowl away!
A drunkard's gloomy grave
Shall ne'er be made for me;
o rather let the rushing wave
Engulph me in the sea!
And may be my lot
To die meath Reasons ray!
Remembered by my friends or not
I've cast the bowl away
My path henceforth is PLAIN,
In honesty to live
To shn Intemperance and It's train,
BY Industry to thrive:
No duty to forget,
And live to bless the day
When l was led without regret,
To cast the bowl away!

INTERCOURSE WITH THE SoUTH.--The
recent establishment of a direct and spec
dy intercourse between the ports of Bal
timere and Charleston and Savannah, by
means of the noble steam packets Geor-
gia and Pulaski, has brought our city into
an intimacy of intercourse with the
States of South Carolina and Georgia,
which, if properly cherished as we trust it
will, cannot fail to be highly and recipro-
cally advantageous. Under the new ar
Management, these boats made no stoppage
at the mouth of the Chesapeake, either
going or returning, and the trips are con-
sequently made with surprising despatch
and regularity. We mentioned in Satur-
days paper the arrival on the proceeding
night Of the Georgia, in the short run OF
fifty hours from Charleston, and we have
now to state that on Saturday morning
the Pulaski arrived from Savannah and
Charleston, having accomplished the trip
from the latter city in the brief space of
Al "a hours. The packets. if will be re-
collected depart on different days, an ar
rangement which multiplies the opportu-
mites for travelling, at the same time that
it removes all apprehension of danger
from racing. The packets in question
have been constructed fully as much with
regard to safety and comfort as to speed
ana we are satisfied are as fine vessels in
al. respects as the country can boast Of
Ball. amer.

espied an old soldier by the road side sit

stretched horizontally across the tops of
-four upright stakes. A candle box was
before him answering the purpose of a
table, on which was placed a small jug,
and the better half of a broken bottle.
