Mr. Smith, the reformed drunkard from Lon
don apoIogised for much of the folly of drunk
ards by the following story of the Cat and The
Mouse:
mouse ranging about brewery happening
TO fall mo one of the vals Of beer, was in Im-
mntnt danger of drowning, and appealed to
cat to help him out. The cat replied 1t is
foolish request for soon as gel you oui |
shall eat you. The mouse piIeously replied,
that fale would be better than 10 be drowned IN
beer The cat lifted him out, but the fumes of
beer caused pussy to sneeze; the mouse took
refuge in his hole. The Cal called upon mouoy to
come out-"You rascal, did you not promise
that should eat you!" "Ah!' replied monsy,
"but you knOoo sOas in liquor at The time"
If none would say or do foolish things, or fall
prey 10 their great adversary, let them take
care never 10 get in liquor. We are willing
now to receive this apology from the reformed
drunkards for much Of their course, which has
been SO foolish and destructive.

ODE,
BY REV. JOHN PIERPoNT.
Tune--St0lc.

b1 hEN. JOHN EACANA ~-'A
Tune--Stog.
In Eden's green retreats,
A water-bfook that played
Between soft messy seats
Beneath plain-tree'S shade,
Whose rustling leaves
Danced DER lis brink
Was Adams drink,
And also Ewes
Beside the paren! spring
Ofthat young broob, the pair
Their morning chant would sing,
And Eve, to dress her hair,
kneel on the grass
That fringed its side,
And make its tide
Her looking glass.
And when the man Of God
From Egypt led his flock,
They thirsted, and his rod
Smote the Arabian rock,
And forth a rll
OF water gushed,
And on they rushed
And drank their fill.
Would Eden thus have smiled
Had wine to Eden come!
Would Horeb's paTching wild
Have been refreshed with rum,
AID had Ewes hair
Been dressed in gin,
Would she have been
Reflected iairl
Had Moses built still,
And dealt out TO that host,
To every man his gill,
And pledged him in toast,
How large band
OF lsraels sons
Had laid their bones
In Canaan's landi
s'Sweet fields beyond" deaths food,
"Stand dressed in living green"
For from the throne Of God
To freshen all the scene,
A river rolls
Where all who will
May come and fill
Their crystal bowls.
If Eden strength and bloom
COLD MATER thus hath given;
II, cen beyond the tomb
It is the drink ofheaven,
Are not good wells,
And crystal springs
The Uery things
For our HOTELS!
