I'VE THROWN THE BOWL ASIDE.

BY CHARLES F. AMEs.
I've thrown the bowl aside.
For me no more shall flow
Its ruddy stream or sparkling tide,
How bright soccer it glow;
I've seen extending 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,
faint all that foams within; g.
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 bowl away
My days of revelry
O gladly give up;
They're but the masks of misery,
Which still Turk in the cup;
While incidence and want
And poverty display
Themselves in every drunkard' 5 haunt
I've cast the bowl away! 49,
A drunkard's gloomy grave
Shall nc 'cr be made for me;
q rather let the rushing wave,
Engult me in the sea!
And may it 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 shun intempcrancc and its train,
BY industry to thrive;
No duty to forget,
And live to bless the day
When | was led without regret,
TO cast the bowl away!

From the N. Y. Post,

BUSINESS OF THE Cry. .-Subjoined are two
extracts relating to the revival of business in this
city. The first is from the Evening Star.
Business of the City.-We find ourselves
again encountered with bales and boxes on the
sidewalks and an appearance of business
which is truly gratifying to those who, for so
many months, have been standing idle in their
stores waiting for customers.
The next is from the Journal of Commerce,
"Our adherence 10 specie payments severe
ly as ittried our principles and our courage at
the time, VIII in the end be seen to have been
as wise as it was morally good. Whlrled in
the air and crushed TO the earth as New York
has been, she is on her feet again. Our impor-
tiers are receiving large supplies of fresh FOODS,
the domestic manufactures are pouring in their
products, and from all sources our iob6ers have
filed their stores and are selling fresh goods,
cheap for cash, from morning 10 night. Pur-
chasers come with pockets full of money, ves-
sells are filled rapidly with freight for Il south
ern placesj the tow boats up the North River get
full; the European steamers and packets are
pressed to discharge as rapidly as possible, for
The goods are all sold before they can be got
from on ship board; the aUctoneers are hams
mering away, .'One, two, three and every
thing is once more going, going"

The DEcENcY PARTY. The Wbigs
call themselves the "decency party"
well, they may be, and TO prove it we
will mention a fact. On The night OF
the Wing Convention, q farmer mile
or two above Dover, was aroused by q
noise among his hogs. On proceeding
10 the pen, he discovered man in it,
and asking him who he was, and what
he wanted, the stranger replied that he
was Delegate 10 the Wing convention
from Lawrence Township, and that he
wanted 30 go to Strasburg. The far
mer politely helped him out Of the pig
pen, put his helm to the starboard, and
SCI him off full sail for the Port of Stras-
burg. We have heard Of hard cider
with niger in it, but we never be-
fore heard ofhard cider with hog pen
in it.

ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE
HERMITAGE.

TIE the Editor Of Nashville Unon.
SIR:-Being informed that the Hon.
Henry Clay Of Kentucky, IN his public
speech at Nashville yesterday, alleged
that had appointed the Hon. Edward
Livingston Secretary Of Slate. when
he was defsuIter, and knowing him
to be one, ! feel that lam justified in
declaring the charge to be false. 1t is
known to all the country that snomlna-
tons made by the President Of the
Senate, are refared to appropriate COM
mittees of that body,whose duty it is to
inquire into the character Of the NOM
inees, and that if there is any evidence
ofdefault, or any disqualfying circum>
stance existing against them, a rejec-
ton Of the nomination follows. Mr..
Livingston was member Of the Senate
from the State of Louisiana when he
was nominated by me. Can Mr.. Clay
say that he opposed the confirmation of
his nomination, because he was u
detaulter? If SO, the Journals of the
Senate will answer. But HE cenfrma-
ton by The Senate is conclusive proof
that no such objections, if nader were
sustained, and am satisfied that such
charge against him could not have
been substantied.
n am also Informed that Mr.. Clay
charged me with appointing Samuel
Swartwout collector oflhe port of ~
York knowing that he had been an as
sociate of Aaron BUR. 10 this
charge 1t is pro er TO say that | knew
Of Mr.. Swartwoul's connotion with
Aaron Burr, precisely as did that oil
Mr. Clay himself, who, if The history of
the times did not do him great injus-
tice, was far from avoiding an assocla-
ton with Bur when he was at the
Town of Lexington in Kentucky. Yet
Mr.. Clay was appointed SECRETARY of
State, and may Say confidently, with
recommendation for character and fit
ness not more favorable than those
produced 10 me by the citizens ofN.
York in behalf Of SwartwouL Mr..
Clay. too, at the time Of his appoint
ment to that high Office, it will be rec
objected, was directly charged through
out the Union, with having bargained
for it, g. by none was this charge more
earnestly made, than by his presant
associates in Tennessee, Messrs. Bell
and Foster. .
Under such circumstances how con-
temptihie does this demaguo appear,

lEDiANA = We would can the attention OF
our readers to the lOllowRg remarkable state
ment which we find IN the Indana Democrat
of August 2Ist Notwithstanding the bdasting
of the whig prints, there seems to have been an
actual falling OF in the whig vote:
IN. Y. Evening Post.
According to the Indiana Journal and to the
Spirit of '76, (both whig papers, the whole
number of votes cast'in l840 (this year) was
l09,S84., In 1886 the whole vote cast was
73, 76s, making an increase this year of SO, ll6.
'Harison's majority liz 1886 was s, ,sO3 Bgger'S
majority IN l64o is (aeeording the Journal and
the '76) but 9,57s, making decrease in the
whig vote Of 225, notwithstanding the increase
in the popular vote of $4,000. Truly Demoo>
racy is increasing in this State. Had Genera.
Howard not been sick, and had it not been that
he was classfer. the democracy would all
have voted for him, and he would now be the
Governor elect. We wish our readers TO ex>
anime this fact and see the decrease OF Harri-
sons popularity in the State where most was
expected. .f
