FAREW VEIL TO THE CUP.

FAREWELL TO THE CUP.
Farewell to the cup--we have tarricd too
long,
Where the juice Of the grape adds its
wIlch'ry to song,
And the thoughts that How'd freely are
sombre and dull,
And our brains become hcavy--farcwel'
TO the bowl.
No longer the eye beams with in,cllect's
fires,
No longer the tongue fancy's power in.
spires:
But flushed IS the brow and degraded the
soul,
And our minds have departed--farewell
10 the bowl.
Oh, tarry no longer where Joy flies
away,
And the heart and the soul lose their
richest array,
Where eye mocketh eye, as unmeaning
they rgll,
And the tongue whispers folly--farewell
to the bowl
Oh, think If the maiden who smiles in
thine eyes,
Once saw IN proud mind in this
shameful disguise.
How her heart would reject thee, how
sadly her soul
Would pity and leave thee-oh, flee
from the bowl.
Oh think, ere the moment OfthiDking is
past.
and the chains Of the mighty upon lhee
are caui
Roiurn--grc the iron shall enter thy
soul.
And Thy whole life beside bo--a curse on
ibe bowl.

And Iirht with morn. before me- stood;
And air- jus, wakencd softly blew
On the youn: blossoms ot the wood.
Birds san. within III" spror,;ng shade.
Bees huunmcd amid the whispering ctass,
And children pra,'icd as they played
BESIDE the rrSulet's dinpiIme glass.
Fast climbed the sun-,hc flowers were tiowr
There played no children on ,'e glen;
For some were gone. aud some were grown
TO blooming danes and bearded men.
It was noon I was Summer-l hchrld
Woods darkcniug IN the flush ni day.
And that bright rvuIel spread aud swclicd,

And here was love and there was strife.
And st,ons men. s,rIc.lin: as for l.ic.
With kncilcd limbs aud angry eyes.
Now stopped the srrn-ihc shades grew thin;
The r,Is,Iiug paths Were piled with leaves;
And suu.burnt groups were gathering in,
From the shorn field lis fruits and sheavcs.
TIE river ileavcd with sullcn sounds;
The chilly wind was sad with noans
Black hcnr,cs passed. aud burial grounds
Grew thick with monumental stones.
Sill waned the day: the wind that chascd
The Jagged clouds blew chlllcr yet;
The wum!S were stripped. the fields were waste
The wluiry sun were near IT'S set.
And Of the Young, and strong. and far,

We. find the following in District
paper, and offer it to the eye Of him
whom it regards:
"SECRETARY WEBsrER.--The
Globe and Independent unite in pour
ing out the ten thousand vials of their
wrath on the devoted head Of Mr.. Web
ster, charging him with rank dishones-
ty, the habitual transgression of the
laws of chastity, and sundry other
crimes and misdemeauors. Nothing
can be more distinct, nothing can be
more direct than the assaults of these
journals;and we should not be surprised
if the Secretary of State saw it neces-
sary toibring the matter before the
courts"
Till the Secretary of State mends
his morals, he had better not think o.
mending his reputation. As to any
thing which we have said of him, if he
desires it to be legally made out, we
ere at his service, when he likes.

orally do make over their property to
their children in their life time. AT FIRST
they treated him very well, for decen-
cy's sake, bnt by degrees they began
TO deprive him ofalI his usual comforts.
First they took away bis pipe, because
the young madams sons could not bear
tobacco smoke. Then the eldest boy
took possession Of the armchair, and
his seat in the corner. Next they took
the blankets from his bead, because
they said it would injure his health to
lie too warm; and next they all but
starved him to death, for fear he should
die of apoplexy. Finally, losing all
respect for the ties Of blood, and all
recollection of the early benefits they
had derived from the good old man
they fairly turned him out of doors
