THE LOST DREAM.

The evening star shone bright on Chadeas walIS'
And here and there feeble light dmly iInmed her
halls,
And silence reigned around for grief had se"ed the
tongue,
No orpheus strikes his sprishtly Tyre, no minstrel
wakes the song
A monarch's stern decree mad filed each heart with
fear,
In vain they plead before their Gods-ther idols
cannot hear,
The wise are doomed to die, ard tears of anguish
A tyrant makes his will his law, and none can stay
The blow,
But why this fearful haste dream dream alone;
I he king has lost troubled dream, and none can
make it known;
Where are the boosted wise, the skilled in mystic
lore ;
Unsea the magic book of fate and scan its pages oer
In vain the king commands, the dream ye cannot
find,
The mystery of his hidden will, dwells with the eter
nal mind
Blu, mark yon little band of Hebrew Princes fair,
Though captives in stranger land, their God is
with them there.
And well their god they know, their fathers proved
him long,
Their Leader, Parent, Guide, and Friend they know
their God is strong
They knee with feryent prayer before his awful
throne
Jehovah sends his angel down to make the vision
known,
The asonished monarch hears, and bends before the
youth,
Nor dare the heather tongue agains: the
God Of truth,
The monarch waved his hand, the golden sceptre
raised,
And issued forth the great command, let Daniels

attended speak in the highest terms of the
ability of these lecturers.
Whether the Science is correct or false,
it certainly becomes the duty of every per-

even good genera! information, to acquire
knowledge of what it teaches. Until

surely we can hardly be prepared to have

Like most other subjects, Phrenology
has suffered much from the impatient quack-
cries of halffedged-or unfedged disci-
pies, or rather money-makin mounte-
banks. Let man examine the subject,
with impariality, and with desire TO un-
derstand, and in about every case, he is
constrained TO admit its truth. We know
there are thousand objections brought
up, by men of profound knowledge on
most other topics. The sacred word of
God, and our holy religion, have the same
obstacles to contend against so that this,
while many stumble at it, is by no means
respectable or even rational argument
against the truth of Phrenoogy.

FlRMNESS REWARDED.

Many of the evils connected with in
temperance are endured by those, who
hold the remedy in their hands, but have
not firmness and energy enough to apply
it. Indeed decision and energy on the part
Of the friends of Temperance are all that
is needed to rid our country of four fitlhs
of the evils that now rest upon ii from this
source. An instance recently communica-
ted to US will illustrate this.
Five years since, man in this county
was the slave of ntemperance, Though
sober at intervals, there were frequent sea-
sons. in which he gave himself up to the
bottle, to the great grief Of his family. He
had SON. who witnessed the ravages OF
the destroyer upon the loved circle in his
| fathers house, till his soul was stirred with
in him. He went to the village where his
father resided, entered every dram shop
Of which the number was not small, and
told every rumseler that as surely as he
sold rum to his father again, he would pros
ecute him.--It was not long before he heard
that his father was again intoxicated lie
went to him and inquired where he obtain
ed his rum; and he told him. In few
minutes he was in the office OF a magistrate,
where warrant was made out, and placed
in the hands of an officer. The young
man then returned TO his father, and told
him he must go to MIR. IS Office, and
testify against the men, who sold him the
rum. The father objected, but was told,
dccidedly, that the thing must be done. In
a few minutes more,--the rumse!lers were
convicted and fined and though we have
not learned that reformation was effected
in them-for what is, or can be, more in
co,rigble than a rumseIler? the effect upon
the mind Of the inebriate was most salutary.
He was mortified to be compelled to exhibit
himself thus publicly, and proclaim his own
shame. He did not care TO visit either that
or any other rumshop again, aware as he
was that he should expose himself TO rep
ettion of the same scene. He had time
for reflection and reflection brought him
to decision From that day TO this he has
drunk no rum. He soon made a public
profession of religion, which he continues
to honor. He was then not "worih a nine
