AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
AND EMANCIPATION FROM Fla,
INTEMPERANCE.

From the Journal Of Health and Month.
ly Miscellany, we take the follwing: j'si
On this day, 1776, the British Colonies
in America declared themselves free and in
dependent States. 5s' ltaa %#t
1t will be my object on the present occa-
sion to draw comparison between the de-
claration of American Independence and
the achievement of that event and the dec
aration and liberation from the thraldom
of intemperance in America. -
!. The Colonies were oppressed
In their Declaration of independence,
they say: ss~ et@nr ron
"The history of the present King Of Great
Britain is history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let facts be
submitted to candid world.
lie has refused his assent to laws the
most wholesome and necessary to The pub
lie good. --~ ~
/ He has forbidden his governors to pass
laws of immediate and pressing Importance,
unless suspended i'll their operation till his
assent should be obtained; ard where so
suspended he has utterly neglected to at
tend to them. ... ~
He has refused to pass other laws for ac-
commodation for large districts Of people,
unless those people would relinquish the
right of representation in the Legislature
a right estmable to them, and formidable
to tyranny alone.
i He has called together Legislative bodies
at places unusual, uncomfortable, and dis
tant from the depository of their public re-
cords, for the sole purpose ofiatiguing them
into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses
repeatedly, Tor opposing with manly firm
ness, his invasion of the right of the people.
He has made Judges dependent on his
will alone.
He has erected multitude of new Off
ces, and sent hither swarms Of officers to
harass our people and eat out their sub
stance.
lie has kept among US standing armies
in time of peace, without the consent OF
our Legislatures.
The signers of the Declaration 60 on to
say that:
"He has Instituted mock trals--cut off
their trade with other parts Of the world
imposed taxes without their consent, de-
prived them Of the privilege of trial by ju-
ry," Sc.
Thus the Colonies were oppressed.
The nation was oppressed by intemper-
ance from Maine to Georgia, and from the
Atlantic to tho UFar Westn this oppressior
reigned.
now go back TO the time when tempe
rance societies first existed in our country
! have said wide spread oppression reign
ed from intemperance. Do you ask for tn,
proof We will call up the witnesses AM
see if they will not testify as plainl v as tn

by BUZZ.
A simple floweres brightly glowing,
A gentle riv'let near it flowing
One day we see as the fields we tread;
Next day the stream is dried, the flower dead.
The bed of the brook soon is missing,
And the mornings dew sweetly kissing
Fresh verdure that spnngeth in gladness,
Yet yielding to us naught but sadness.
For the lovely flower and ripping brook,
Wore simple, gay, and happy look,
We're 10th TO loose the familiar scene,
Though the fields still look as bright and green.
Twas thus we gazed on our tender child,
While as blossom of spring she smiled
Making glad our hearts with her simple play,
And seeming more lovely every day.
God spake, and called her from earth away,
To bloom in the glow Of endless day;
And like the dried brook whose loss we mourn, !,
Hopes flow too was checked, joys stream
gone.
Yet as the>verdure that quickly grew,
Bedecked with the mornings pearly dew,
Joy springs anew in our hearts to know
She lives in heaven, though lost below.

The course of studies in Pennsylvania College

partment provides for instruction in all the branches
Of thorough English business education, in addi-
ton to the Elements of the Mathematics and Clas-
sical Literature. The College course is arranged
in the four classes usual in the institutions of this
country.
The government of the students is az energetic
as their circumstances seem to require. They at
tcnu dL lcdSL TWO TcClJdtIOS duu tA0 dCulLy
contemplate increasing them to three, Church and
Bible Class on the Sabbath, and are visited in
their rooms so frequently as to preclude the dan
ger of any great irregularities. 1t is believed no
institution in the United States has more exem-
plary young men in connexion with it. They are
all required to lodge in the College edce, special
cases excepted. 8
The annual expenses are--for board, tuition and
room rent during the winter session $61 81 l-2 for
the summer session, $4l 81 1-2 washing, $l0 wood,
50 90. Total expense, $l16 IS. Boarding can be
had in town at vi 25 per week.
There are two vacations in the year, commenc-
ing on the third Thursdays Of April and Septem-
ber; each of five weeks continuance.
The summer session will commence on Thurs
day, the 22d of May. The annual commencement
takes place on the third Thursday in September.
| The Trustees have recently made various ar
rangements which will increase the efficiency of
the Institution. They have increased the number
of Professors and provided for the most ample in
struction of the students. N
Professor Baugher and Haupt are prepared to
board boys and to exercise special supervision
over their studies and department, and Parents who

number of the slumberers by sundry cuffs
and pushes, kicks and shouts, none of the
most tender or delicate description. Ur
