The Illinois free trader. (Ottawa, Ill.) 1840-1841, 1840-09-18
OTTAWA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 49, 1s4o

all on the venture of his vow'-she was
made to feel the perishing of all that was
bright, noble and elevated-it was hers
to feel its most refined bitterness, the
keen and whitening blight of disappoint-
ment, when she looked on him she called
her husband.
For long time, Lucy's believing
spirit sustained her heavy trial; for one
hope hung even as an anchor to her soul
the hope that he would reform - for he
loved her too well, she thought, to make
her unhappy. Alas, deceived women
Love may be strong, hut the wine cup
hath yet mightier power. But the truth
came at last. That which Lucy had
thought sin even TO think on, now stood
before her lamentable and sure reality
her husband was an irreclaimable drunk
ard
Lucy died early--but not before the
last ray of hope was Quenched in that
stricken bosom, and death like whitening
had come over her heart-not until every
beautiful flow Of affection had dropped
and withered away, and all generous and
devoted feelings had given place to loath-
ing and Indifference. Her last moments
were unsoothed by the voice Of hus-
bands affection-though at times, indeed,
a bloated visage, with haggard express
slonless eye, would bend over her couch
and mutter words Of inebriate and dis
gushing fondness but with look of
abhorrance she motioned him away who
had once been her blessing and delight.
Let woman--lovely, devoted, con6ding
woman, avoid even the appearance of
evil" Let her beware of the revel, the
wine cup, the feast-for vice and intemp-
erance are ever found in their train. Let
her remember that in uniting her destiny
with drunkard's, she is drawing on her.
self fearful doom and mourning the
heaviest curse Of Heaven. 1t is like link
ing truth with per6dy-the dove with the
vulture; it is the wedlock of purity and
pollution - beauty and the pestilence.
Let woman beware of the Incorporate

To Apprentices.

The only way for young man to pre-
pare himself for usefulness, is 10 devote
himself to study during the leisure hours
First, be industrious in your business
Never complain that you are obliged to
work; go to it with alacri,y and cheerful
ness, and it will become habit, that will
make you respected by your employer
and the community. Make 1t your BUSH
ness to see and promote his interest; by
taking care of his, you will learn to take
care of your own. Second, attend to
your studies. Few apprentices can COM
plain of a harder master than had Frank
lIn--yet franklin laid the foundation for
greatness while an apprentice. Success
depends not upon the amount of leisure
you have, bu, upon the manner in which
it is improved.

leaving only few stragglers behind,
probably from weakness or sickness, who
hide themselves in caverns or other shell
tered places, and occasionally appear upon
warm days. The remainder of harvest is
got in and no sooner is this done, than
the husbandman ploughs up his land
again, and prepares it for the winter
grain.
September, though its mornings and
evenings are apt to be foggy, and thera-
fore not wholesome to those who either
do not, or cannot guard against them, is
generally severe. and pleasant month,
partaking of the warmth of summer and
the vigor of autumn. But its noblest fea-
ture is certain festive abundance for the
supply of all creation. There is grain for
men, birds and horses hay for the cat
tie, and loads of fruit on the trees.

of her territory. Such comparisons will
not be very favorable to the Bourbons +;
the French will cast them and their debts
from their shoulders. as my Arabian steed

leans branch, though amiable, are too
weak, have too much of the Bourbon, and
will share the same fate, if they do not
choose to live as simple citizens, under
whatever change takes place."
Here the Emperor paused few mo-
ments, then waving his hand, he exclaim-
ed, in an animated tone, his dark eve
beaming with the enthusiasm of inspira-
ton:
"France once more republic, other
countries will follow her example-Ger-
mans, Prussians, Poles, Italians, Danes.

will receive its death-blow like the thick
mist on the ocean, it win dissipate a. the
first appearance of the Sun Of Liberty.
The wheel Of revolution will not stand
still at this point, the impetus will be in
creased in tenfold ratio, and the motion
will be accelerated in proportion. When
the people recover part Of their rights
as men, they become elated with vic,o-
ry they have achieved, and, having tasted
the sweets Of freedom, they become ella
marcus for larger portion. Thus will
the states and municipalities Of Europe be
in continual state OF turmoil and ferment,
perhaps for some years-like the earth,

Noah, stood one day with upliftcd face,
gazing earnestly on the sun. Then his
father drew near him and said, What
seest thou p And Shem answered, ~
was considering that heavenly being,
whom Jehova has clothed with such won
dcrful brightness. His paths is the nights
of Heaven, and far beneath him are storms
and floods. And said in my heart,
" Would that God had made me thus :" "
Then said Noah, "My son, aspire not
after things which are not given thee;
were thy wish granted, thou wouldst only
be abased, and deprived Of thy best bless

sun would not that be elevation p
The patriarch replied, 'sThou wouldst
then be greater than Mount Ararar-yes,
greater than this globe which we inhabit.
But thinkest thou thus TO acquire dignity !
Thou wouldst always tread the same un-
varying path, never couldst thou turn to
the right or the left by thy own design.
Now thou canst look upto the sun, but he
cannot look down on thee-much less can
he glance upwards, and understand and
adore Him who hath made him. Alone
he walks in the Heavens, without hope or
love--and day will come when he shall
be extinguished as lamp, and man shall
wait in vain for his rising. But thou
shalt lay aside this garment which binds
thee to earth and gloriously transformed,
thy path, through eternal ages, shall be
above suns and stars. Wouldst thou,
then, exchange thy being and existence
for that of the sum-

The Women Of thC Revolution.


Right glad are we that serious efforts
are now to be made to. complete the
BUNKER HILL MONUMENT. This
is to be done, chiefly by the LADIEs--and
by means of FAIR. This will give all
an opportunity to contribute their mite {;
and let but all contribute their mite, and
much will be accomplished. The Fair
alone will bring large sum Of money to
aid in the work - other arrangements,
now in progress, in connection, will,
without doubt, furnish the remainder Of
the funds required. Ii needs, then but
determination on the part of the commune
~, that the monument SAIL DE COMPILE
TED, and it will be done.
Well is it, too, that the LADIES are to
be the chef actors in putting on the cap
stone TO the Bunker Hill Monument.
Let the ladies of the present generation
only recall the struggles, the suherings,
the self-denial, the fortitude of those of a
past generation, and it cannot fail to ex-
cite them to efforts to complete this great
deed of commemoration. Let the daugh-
tiers 60 back to the times Of the Revolu-
ton and recall the deeds of the mothers.
And what bright page in our annals is
that which bears record of the trials-the
courage in adversity-!he timely aid
the voice Of ncouragcment-of the wo-
men of the Revolution.
The women of the Revolution! A
theme not yet been handled as it should
be. No historian as yet has collected
the memorials Of their deeds. AT times,
as when our glorious day of national re-
joicing comes round, bringing with i;
sacred "reminiscences of the past, and

LIN Il 8.

Oh dungeon dark, and ample, and profound,
The pit Of deep depravity within!
There SITS the soul, with chains ofanguish bound
Bound in the scven-iold manacles Of sin.
For freedom still the weeping prisoner sighs,
With none to aid, with none to heal her pain;
Lifts toward the vanished light her weary eyes,
And strives to burst the hateful bonds in vain
Out of the depths her cry asccnds to Thee
Oh great Deverer come-and set the captive free
Oh heart far out upon sullen sea,
The sport of wheeling waves, thy bark is driven
The winds around thee murmur titfuy,
And frowning clouds have hid the face ofheaven
Yet on the storms wild voice doth fsistly come
a far-oiI, angel MELODY Of home.
1t tells thee Of bright and blessed isle,
Winnowsd by wings that wait the soul above !;
There bloom the f1ow'rs in Faiths exultng smile
There ever bcndeth the blue heaven of Love
There bright.cyed Hope extends her hand towr'd
Rich with the gifts of Immortality.
And thou dost struggle, while around thee boom
The waters->and fast wancs thy darkoned day
Oh heart! look upward through the shroudina
gloom,
And cast thine earthly help and hope away!
Oh, be thy stcadfas, guide the Saviour's will
He shall rebukc the sea, and all be still. E. E.

Happiness.

What need have we of riches saith a
Chinese moralist. Produce me the man
who, content with straw cottage and a
little enclosure Of canes, employs himself
in reading the writings Of wise men, or in
discoursing on virtue, who desires no
other recreation than TO refresh himself by
the cool air by moonsbinc, and whose
whole solicitude is to preserve in his heart
the love of innocence and Of his neigh
Dor.

tarred shipping, and hear still the clear
prolonged yo-heavc.ho Of the sailors. A
seaport in spring, furnishes the most
striking image of a youthful spirit just
entering on his career, venturing out for
the first time on the high sea of life.
The gay-colored steamers of Imagination
play over his mind-sell-confdence swells
all the sails of his wishes, yo-heave-ho.
Butsoon storm rises, the sky is darkened,
the wind bowls, the planks crack, the
waves break away the rudder, and the
poor ship is dashed to pieces on romantic
cliffs, or stranded on prosiac shalows-or
perhaps decayed or broken down, with
mast dismantled and rigging torn, without
a single anchor of hope, she comes home
to the old haven, and mouders there a
miserable wreck
But there are some men whom we may
rather compare with steamboats,. These
carry glowing fire within them, and
they must on, against wind and weather.
