ONE LAW SHALL BIND ALL NATIONS
When shall this take place and what are
the nstrumentalties to be employed in its ac-
complishment? The prophetic language OF
holy writ hath declared that it shall be the
case, and good men for ages have stood ou'
upon the promontories of human obserVauon'

faint glimpses Of the approach OF mat glorious
and desirable era-but in van Inc vista OF

but that of Inspiration, echoed along its silent
courts, to assure the eager expecant that it eUer
would come at all. Nations have remained
nations. Sects and parties, instead of coming
closer together, have removed further apart. In
stead of approximating in their modes of gov
ernment, SO as to admit of one law binding ;
widened. The walls of disunion have been
made stronger, and built up higher. Laws for
distinct government have been multiplied. and
instead of one law binding all Of the same ma
tion or sect, each member of each association,
has manifested desire to have law for him
self; and the discordant and inter-discordant
notes that were heard, seemed to put far dis
tant the looked for period, when under one law
they should harmonize and act with reference
TO common end.-But now, the hopes of the
philanthropist and the desire of nen-not of
nations or sects in their separate characters as
such-but OF men; members Of the human ia
mily, friends of the world" are beginning to
behold in the sublime principles of fraternal
association, as promulged and carried out by''
the Gospel Of Christ, the grand agent for the
accomplishment Of this. great and desirable re-
sult-the sovereign remedy for the healing of
all social diseases, with which the world is in
fected, and the only sure means of birding all
nations under one law. The old lines of sepa-
ration, which have been marked with vivid
oiouASluCoS oH Tic lcdluTeS Ol social lie, are
becoming more faint, and through the spread
OF these blessed principles they will be made
gradually to disappear, until eventually those

subservient TO the more broad, and magnan-

parties, and associations will forget to lay such
stress upon their respective peculiarities, and
be governed by the higher and essential law of

the purest sympathies and strongest bonds OF
unity. sOne law shall bind all nations,' and

And hard the, g 'uS uue
But drunkards, Co o'oe0
They're harder M mno.,
The drunkard's tax is z imposed
Like every other sirfN.
The taxes altogether cost
Not half SO much as gin
The State compels no man to drink,
Compels no man TO game;
'Tis gin and gambling sinks him down
To rags, and want, and shame.
The kindest husband changed by gin,
Is for tyrant known;
The tender heart that nature made,
Becomes heart of stone.
In many house the harmless babes,
Are poorly clothed and fed,
Because the craving gin-shop takes,
The chidren's daily bread.
Look through the PRISONS iron bars,
Look through that dismal CRATE;
And learn what dire misfortune brought,
So terrible fate
The debtor and the felon too,
Though differing much in sin,
Too oft you'll find were thither brought,
BY all destroying gin
This dark picture of the times, several yea
ago, is yet true to some extent, and we mu
keep it before the people until the evil is p

WeeR net Tor what is past,
With vain and fruitless tears,
But husband well thy strength
To serve Thy coming years.
In noble deeds, not idle grief
Let Thy sad spirit find relief.
Weep not for what is past,
Though every passing day,
Some pathway should disclose
Where thou hast gone astray;
Tears will but dim thy feeble sight,
They set no wandering footsteps right
Weep not for what is past,
Though not in that dark domain,
The forms thou oved'st are bound
By adamantine chain,
The lost to earIh--to life are born,
Rejoice to hail their natal morn.
What doth the grave unfold,
That there thy thoughts should turn
Colder the clay beneath
Than monumental urn.
Be strong-thy soul should neverb be
Thus fettered with mortality.
The past--that narrow span
What should il be to thsel
The longest earthly life
Is but mans infancy.
The spirit should all chains despise,
The future hath no boundaries,
Then weep not for the past,
Not tears of blood can bring
One wasted momen: back,
Nor stay times onward wing,
Pour not thy SOULS best life away
Begin anew to live ToSDAV,
