ELLEN GERMAlNE,
you now
BY JULIAN CRAMER.


Poor Ellen Germaine! Were she not now
sleeping quietly in a nook of her iuv6urile
churchyard, her sorrows should not be
made the theme OF my pen.
My poor, poor cousin! Who could have
believed, in thy young days, that thou
wouldst 20 down so early, and with so
much grief in thy heart, to the peaceful
tomb! Well, we'll remember thee, in thy
meek bcauty-lhy form, light and graceful
as a sy phs-thv sunny hair, whose turIs
were the sport OF every passing zephyr
thy voice, whose echo was to"e OF glad
ness-and, above all, the spiritual Iove-
ness OF thy unse!fsh nature, whose gem
rrous impulses LED thee, in a species Of sub
lime devotion, to sacrifice myself lor The
Ianced happiness OF others.
BY these VIII t. hairs that now spars'y
cluster on my head, it must be forty years
snre thon hast sleptin thy silent coffin,
and yet this is the first time thai have
re.perused the ltle iournaI you pnced in
my hands on The day you bade us farewell
forever, "Take it, cousin JuIian!" she
whispered, us bent my ear to her pald
lips, then fast chilling ia the frost of death
--"lake it, and use it rs thou Witt may
save others from my sad late" Sail thysel
even in the agonies OF dissolution-wiling,
nay, anxious, that the sorrowtul record of
thy history should be published to an un-
feeling world, who might perchance, make
thy memory scorn and a reproach, il
thereby thou mightest save one oflhy sex
from similar career. Was ever sacrlfce
ike thine?
Yet | will not reveal all Of thy strange,
eventIul lite There were scenes, known
only to thee and myself the memory and
the record Of which shall be buried with
this old heart, when they lay my body
down beside thee in p churchyard-
aud ii will not he long hence. An outline
Of thy history must suffice and few ex-
tracts fiom this lllle book, on whose mill
dcwed pages fancy see the traces OF
thy sweet tears, must he the only record
left TO posterity of one OF whom it might be
truly said

Her childhood was happy one--none
could be more so. But she was woman
beyond her years. She led beautiful life
within her own heart, apart from that she
shared with those around her. 1t was her

From The Pittsburgh Gaseiie,

At the request OF respectable temper.
ance friend, VIC copy the following ccgen'
and truthful argument from late Irish pa
per, the Londonderry Standard. May II
do much good in the cause OF temperance,
for much is needed;
appeal Of the Ulster Temperance SocieIy to
Dis'itiers and Spirit Dealers
Having for many years abstained from
distilled spirits, and icing desrous that you
and your customers should enjoy the ad-
vantages of a similar practice, we ap-
peal to you now in the spirit of humility
and love,
You acknowledge that Christianity re-
qures that you should do to others as you
would they should do to you, and as you
have opportunity, to do good unto all
men.
We are most anxious to bring you with
all enlightened conscience to consider
your trade IN connpXion with these great
principles of eternal truth. II that which
YOU manufacture and sell be a necessary
of life, then men must bear the consequent
ces ofits use, however dire--tit be whole
some, and good, and suitable for ordinary
use, then its manufacture and sale are
right, and whatever may be the conse'
quence Of its abuse, you are free. But, II
it be useless. tempting, unwholesome, and
in one word poisonous--if the natural and
necessary consequences ofits ordinary use
be the production, in proportion to the
quantity consumed, Of beggary, misery
crime disease, and death then its manulac'
ture and sale are wRoNG-distllers &spiriI
sellers are agents of III; and whoever may
license or sanction the trade, it is incura'
bly, bad; those engsgedfnit are their coun-
try's enemies; and while it is ruinous 10
themselves, they infict on individuals
families, and the whole community, ills
which descend to fu ure generations as a
heritage Of death, and down through p
ternity, with the worm which never dies
and the fire which shall never be quench
ed.
The proof is before the world, clear as
light, that distilled spirit is not only use
less to persons in health, and disqualified
for ordinary use by its seductive, and vio-
lently intoxicating qualities, but that even
in its moderate use it is injurious to mans
best interests, pest toindviduaIs and the
world.
No rational man ventures now to main.
tain that distilled spirits at all required in
heat, or cold, or fatigue; for millions in all
climates, have abstained from it for years.
Even the drunkard acknowledges that the
qualification Of depraved appetite is the
only reason which can in truth be urged
for its use.
The business, therefore, Of the dstlpr,
and spirit dealer IS at best to pamper de.
PRAYED appetite; but their cheit business is
to sell to the hopeless drunkard, and TO
wre.ches whom they are tempting to drum
kenness, that which wastes property and
DESTROYS health, which sears conscience,
cuts off from happiness and hope, buries in
premature graves, and shuts up in the
place OF the lost.
The whole history Of distilled spirit con-
firms the testimony borne by two thousand
OF the most eminent living physicians,
"That distilled spirit is not only unneces-
ssry. butinjurlous TO persons in health; that
il contains no nutritious qualityi that its

such prayer, and the God who answers
prayer, how shall you be able 10 stand!
Alas! brethren, you labor on the wrong
side Of the line which separates the chi.-

yours is a work which mars the work of
God; il converts the man into the monster

IT'S SPRING.
BY CHARLES GRENNELL.
Lo! gladness to the earth II born'
Cold winter WINS ate past,
Sweet songsters had the happy morn,
And fora wakes at last,
To fling
Bright gems OF beauty, rich and rare,
Ger all the smiling earth,
While g!adness laughing every where,
Proclaims, with joy, the birth
OF fSpring.
With her returns the gentle shower
The pearly dews Of night,
The bursting bud, the opening howe
The beautiful the bright,
To wing
Life's feeting hours with bird and bee,
And gaudy butterflies,
Ger fragrant meadow, vale and lea,
Where every flower replies
'Tis Spring!
Aurora paints the hlushing morn,
And Sol the evening skyi
Fragrance OF every breeze is born,
And richest melody.
Then sing
Her welcome TO each woodland green,
Let nature all rejoice,
While life anew bedecks the scene,
And whispers in a voice
"Tis Spring!

would deem il the duty OF all who believe war TO
be unnecessary aud unconstitutional. for consist
ency sake, to take up arms in behalf Of Mexicoi
The Wings, thank Heaven, belong 10 no such
school, and will follow such teacher.
The third proposition" aseribed to the Wings
by the Union. is, that they are in favor Of stop
ping tho War and proffenng negotiation. The
Union contends that this would occasion much
delay as to impair the "moral force" Of our army
and probably to lead TO its defeat. Certainly, If
that would be its effect such policy ought to be
adopted. But this objection may very easily be
obviated by submitting, with the profIer OF peace,
the terms upon which alone our Government will
consent to treaty, and demanding of the Mexi-
can Government a prompt and categorical an.
swer. This course need occasion no delay; for
the proHrer may be made, and the reply received,
while Gen. Taylor is collecting his forces and
making the necessary preparation for the prose-
cution of the campaign. Mr. Webster, we ina
CINE, did not, as the sophist Of the Union ngeni-
ously endeavors to show, intimate wish that
the movements Of our army should be so retarded
as to impair its efficiency, or if Mexico should be
so stupid to refuse to listen to terms of accom-
mediation, to check its victorious progress; nor is
such result at all necessary. The General and
the Ambassador may go together-and the offer
OF peace may be made, upon terms dictated to
the Mexican authorities, from the midst of the
camp; and if the reply of those authorities should
either be unreasonably delayed or be of repul.
sive character, the commanding General might
be instructed to resume the instant offensive
operations, and TO carry on the war until Mexico
herself satisfied with the hopelessness OF the
struggle, should sue FOR that peace the proffer of
which she had refused to accept. The Wings
think that our national character would be rather
elevated than impaired by magnanimousy tender
| ing terms of pacifcation to weak adversary, in
the hour of our triumph. While such course
would lessen the humiliation of Mexico, it would
enhance our own reputation for magnanimity and
generosity-traits which are not only not incon-
sistent with, but are necessary elements of true
courage.
