THE FOUR COLLEGIANS.

At meeting of the Broadway Washington
Temperance Society on the 9Th ult. MIR. }. II.
Greene gave deeply interesting account Of four
CoIlegians, who eight years ago graced one of the
highest literary institutions of the country. They
were arisocratc in their birth and feelings; young
men of bright intellecfs and splendid powers, and
strongly bound together After study they usual
ly met in each others rooms, where champagne
and cards were introduced, and where all became
corrupt and dissolute. One of the young men af-
ter he left college, entered lawyers office, hut
soon died Of the delirium tremenS. His physician
told him that if he continued to drink, he would
die drunkam. His mother stood by him and urg-
ed him to abstain. She, alas had fed him from
the wine cup. In her presence, he deliberately
made up his mind that he would not abstain, and
in three months from that time, he filed Il drunk
ards grave.
second reformed from his drinking habits,
the second year, and became minister Of the Cos
pei.
The third studied medicine, but became noori-
ousy incorporate, and sunk very low; but a let
ter has recently been received from him, in which
he says, {" am a redeemed man. have signed
the Washingonian pledge"
The fourth, of whom Mr.. G.. said he would give
more particular account, after leaving college en-
tered lawyers office, where he remained two
years and haf:-amost every night he spent at
grog shop, drinking so bad that he could net
live among those who were his friends and who
were acquainted with him. He left home and
went to Il land of strangers, determined that re-
moved from every one who ever knew or heard of
him before, he would now become sober man.
But away from all restraint he became worse
than before. Alcohol would rise up before him
and tempt him every day, and his employers told
him they could keep him no longer. His father
wrote to him, urging him to come home. He felt
that his father watching over him. But that
son wrote TO his father that he was doing well.
He would rather tell lie than have his true state
known; one of the sure results or drinking aco-
hol. Thrown out of employment, he became Il
school teacher in the midst of his drunkenness--a
thing that might appear surprising here, but was
not so in the far west, where there were few in
fact that were sober men. The Judge was often
drunk on the bench, the jury were drunk in their
boxes while trying a criminal for his life, and
therefore nothing strange was thought of the school
master being drunk. Being however somewhat
prospered. he came into St. Lous with 500 dollars
IN his pocket but after season Of carOusal with
cards in one hand and bottle in the other, he
soon found himself forty dollars in debt, with only

Pilgrim fathers, that | look for an exhibition of
that large spirit of philanthropy which has in
times past made New England memorable among
the nations. 1t is from the same New Englanders

from the fact that the Church of the living God,
which, in times past has been the pioneer of lib

awaken from the sleep Of death, which had pa-
ced its very fingers upon lids that should never
close, but be constant in eternal vigils, for with

there is neither triumph nor glory

Hmm OF THE REFORMED INEBRIAFEY WIVES.

BY GEORGE s. BURLEIGH.
Glory to God for the good he hath done US,
Praised be his name for his infinite love,
Joy for the woe that hath rested upon us
Flies, in the light which. is shed from above.
Hail to the morning which dawns on our sorrow
Bright as the beam of its radiant glance;
Clouds that were freighted with darkness and
horror
Vanish and fade Units lovely advance.
Weeping and wo, and the midnight of trial
Flee from our hearths that are lighted again,
Poverty pouring her bittcrest walls
Turns into plenty and smiles in the glen.
Burning reproach and the finger of scorning,
Hunger and nakedness, tattered and pale,
All are removed in the light of the morning,
Lost, like the vapors that swim in the vale.
Love hath re-ghtcd the fire on h9r altar;
Cherubs are smiling, where starving babes
wept;
Law, with the menace of dungeon and halter,
Keepeth no longer the vigiIs it kept.
They who have loved us return from their error
Plenty, and honor, and JOY in their path;
Now is their coming no longer in terror,
Wretched, and cursing, and burning with
wrath.
Holy religion, and virtue, and quiet,
Reign in the Halls where the debauchee trod
Praises ascend, where the drunkard in riot
DID, Il n
Praise for our peace that is poured like river
Joy for the Sabbath which dawns on the soul
Glory, dominion, and honor forever
Be to the Lord who hath broken the bowl!

PREVENTION OF SMUT IN WHEAT.-At a late
agricultural meeting in Sussex, Eng, John ELL
man, Esq, related the following account of an eX-
pertinent in preventing smut in wheat. He took
four sacks of smutty wheat, sowed one sack of it,
with brine only, as strong as he always made it, to
bear an egg as large as shilling; he sowed anoth-
err with lime only; he sowed the third sack with
brine, strong enough to bear an egg, and then let
it lay in lime all night; and the fourth he sowed
without anything. The result was as follows:-
Where the brine only was used, every now and
then there was smulty ear, still not many; where
the lime only was used, there was about the same
quantity of smut, where the lime and brine was
used, there could not be found single smutty ear
and where nothing was used, it was a mass Of
Standardization

HINTS TO FARMERs-We do not know wheth-
er or not the following plan has been adopted by
many farmers; but there can be no harm in calling
their attention to the circumstance. A farmer in
this neighborhood has, for some time past, put
garlic in the bottom of his grain stacks, and since
he has adopted that plan, has never been troubled
with yermin. Before adopting this plan, on. tax
ing down stack of grain. he and his assistants
never killed less than from fifteen to twenty rats,
and above hundred mice. This is very simple
cheap and effective method of preserving grain in
:tacks,--English paper.

FARMERS, MAKE YOUR OWN cANDLEs.-Take
lbs. of alum for every 10 lbs. of tallow, dissolve
it in water before the tallow is put in, and then
melt the alow in the alum water with frequent
stirring, and it will clarity and harden the taoN
so as to make u most beautiful article for either
winter or summer use, almost as good as sperm.

POETRY.
MY GOD DIRECTS THE STORM.

MY GOD DIRECTS THE STORM.
The spirit of the tempect shook
His wing of raven hue
Above the sea, aud hollow winds
Howled o'er the waters blue.
Up rose the biIlowy mountain high,
Sweeping stormy path;
Darkness aud terror mingled there
Their ministry of wrath.
A lonely bark, by bounding seas
Tossed wildly to and fro,
Dashed DER the pillows foaming brow
To fearful depths below
Crash echoed crash the quivering spars
Broke o'er the leaning side,
And left the bark shattered wreck,
The stormy waves to ride.
The sturdy seamen struggled hard
To hold the yielding helm,
And keep the ships Prov to the surge,
That threatened to o'erwhelm.
And when the plunging ruin spurned
Their mpotent control,
They flew to drown their gloomy fears
In the accursed bowl.
Upon the raging ocean then
Helpless was left the bark
TO the wild mercy of the waves,
Amid the tempest dark.
Upon the deck, alone, there stood
A man of courage high
A hero, from whose bosom fear
Had never drawn a sigh.
With folded arms erect he stood;
His countenance was mild
And, calmly gazing on the scene,
He bowed his head and smiled.
A wild shrek from the cabin rose
Up rushed his beauteous bride;
With locks disheveld, and in tears,
She trembled at his side.
"Oh why, my love, upon thy lip,"
She cried, "doth play that smile,
While all is gloom and terror here,
AMI must weep the while"
No word the warrior spake-but no
Drew from beneath his vest
A noignard bright, and placed It's point
Against her heaving breast.
She startled not, nor shrieked in dread,
As she had shrieked before,
But stood astonished, and surveyed
His tranquil features DER.
"Now Why" he asked, "dost thou not sta
May not thy blood be spilt?"
With sweet composure she replied,
".Ny husband holds the hW"
"Dost wonder then that am calm,
That fear shakes not my form'
Ine'er can tremble while know
My God directs the stormp'

From the Missouri Reporter.
A TERRIBLE CALAMITY!

On Wednesday, Sd inst, about midnight,
The steamer Sheperdess. from Cincinnati,
struck snag in Cahokia bend, nearly three
miles below st. Louis, and sunk immedi.
aiely. The boat listed suddenly, precipi.
tating many of the passengers who had
reached the hurricane-deck. into the river.
The boilers then rolled over the larboard
side, which caused the boat to right sud.
denly, separating the hull from the cabin,
which fioated six or seven miles down the
river. The weather was intensely cold, and
large number of the passengcrs-estimat-
ed from 40 10 co. were drowned or frozen
to death. About $50 have been saved
The boat was purchased at auction in Gin.
cInnaIl. a short time ago, by Capt. Howell,
for $4,000. 1t is not known here whether
she was insured or not. This was the first
trip the steamer had made since it was
purchased by Capt. III. He was drowned.
The boat and cargo will prove a total loss.
The books of the steamer have not vet
been recovered, and consequently it is i'm.
possible 10 ascertain with any degree of
accuracy, the names Of all the passengers,
or the amount of cargo on board. One
gentleman lost $4,000 in money and another
thirty negroes. gentleman from Nash.
vile, with his child, was saved; his wife
was precipi'ated into the river and drown.
ed. Many of the passengers who were
saved, were severely frozen; having escaped
from the wreck with nothing but their
night clothes. Some who were landed he.
low, travelled barefoot to the nearest place
of shelter. The hull sunk so rapidly tina,
the pa sengers had no time to save even
their wearing apparel. They hurried from
their berths to the hurricane deck. and
tlose who were not precipitaed into the
river, were exposed to the severity of tho
weather with nothing but their nigh,
clothes 10 protect them from the cold.

OTThe Jefferson Inquirer, of the 4th.
brings two long letters from the Hon. J. C.
EDWARDS, of Jefferson City, to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, on the question of ap-
pointing an agent for The purchase of wa
ler-rotted hemp in this Stale, under the res.
olulion of the last Congress. The publica-
ton is accompanied by six line answer
from the Secretary, of very summary
character, and various comments from Mr..
EDWARDS, on the culture of hemp, and
western interests in general
In relation to this publication we have a
few observations TO make, Of the truth and
propriety of which we cannot divest our
selves. Mr. EDWARDS was member Of
Congress for length of time, and during
that period failed TO become excited on
the hemp questionable. CRrrTENDEN, we
believe, being the author of the measure.
Since he has become private citizen, and
at time when we have seven Representa-.
lives at Washington, charged with our in.
terests, he takes il into his head that thew
are either careless or incompetent, and
works himself into terrible hemp fever.
causing The lint to fly in every direction.
After stating these facts, neither Judge
EDWARDS nor his friends can object to the
statement that he is excrting every energy
TO procure nomination for Governor, and
hat in all probability the people will not be
much troubled on the hemp question after
he election
