A WARNING.

A gentleman yesterday informed US that q
young man was brought before the magls-
rate st she Navy Yard. and ndcommtied 70 tue
work house as vagrant Hehad been turned
out Of his boarding house in consequence Of
drunkenness, and inability TO pay his board.
Employmen, in the yard could have been ob
isined if he had remained sober; but the love
Of drink prevented. He has family re'iding
in q neighboring State and now away from
home, has forgotten his duty as a husband and
father.
There are many similar instances Of wrong
doing on record and can any one, with the
least sense Of sympathy for the unfortunate
remaining, speak with propriety. q single word
against the efforts we are continuously making
to suppress traffic that knows no respect Of
persons--,hat, alike, visits distress on all who
are its patronsq Young men. middle e-aged,
and old. lend your aid in the enterprise. and
Heaven, and women, and children will bless

THE REFORM.

Itis to be regretted that there is YET IN our
city, too large consumption OF strong drinks.
But when we look back ten years ago, we feel
pra,ifed that an evident reform has taken place.
We seldom see respectable men sitting before
The doors of taverns and smoking cigars, which
was formerly as common as standing al q cor
ner to converse and many a one, before going
down into cellars where drink is sold, cauti.
ously casts his eyes around to see whether
there are lockers on.
The Sabbath day was generally selected as
the time for bacchanalian enjoyment by young
men whose business confined them to their
stores and workshops during the residue Of the
week. A wise provision Of the Councils re.
strcts the rum traffic on the Lords Day, but
notwithstanding, there are nfractions of the
law. However, much good has resulted from
the statute, and we earnestly hope that. il may
still be fruitful Of benefit to the unwary youth.
If all the lovers of temperance will continue to
exert their influence, it will not be long before
drinking will be generally considered a crime,
punishable with the condemnation OF virtu
Gus community.

A DARK AFFAIR.

Two black women and one black man were
brought before Justice Smith on Saturday, ar
rested by officer Handy, Of the Third Ward
Police, for drunkenness, and at night for safe
keeping, were lodged in the watch house. One
Of the females, as the weather was chilly, re-
sorted to the expedient Of confning her body
in mans coat, it thus appearing that the Ii
quor which she had drank did mot keep her
warm The entire party were quite jolly,
under the influence Of the poisonous decanter.
While she was contemplating her condition on
Sunday morning,a poor fellow came to her
for she was a washerwoman--fo his shirt,
which had been entrusted to her to cleanse.
He recovered the garment, and went home to
putt on; but his pantaloons were not obtained.
The woman did not wear them, however, but
merely. had on the coat! This party, tegether
with another man and woman of the sable
race, were taken in furniture car, to the
work house, together with their cooking uten-
sils, and scraps Of provisions, and sundry beds,
boots, and other personal and household ef-
fects. N

THE PEN.

The pen Of a ready writer, whereun,o shall
it be ikened2 who can estimate its power? who
calculate its results2 Time was when the
world was ruled by the sword. Now it is ru-
led by the pen. Speech was once all power
ful. Now it yields to the more powerful
though silent influence Of the pen, Just as
the influences of nature that are silent are far
more powerful than the boisterous. Who has
learned the true power Of the pen? Who has
learned wisely to use that power?
Martin Tupper the elegant and original an.
thor Of "Proverbial Philosophy" which is
written very much in the style Of the Proberbs
of Solomon, with much of their wisdom and
depth, has some beautiful Thoughts on this
subject, which will be read with pleasure
I" To think rightly, is Of know ledge to
speak fuently,Nis Of nature;
To read with profit is Of care; but to, write
aptly, is practice;
t To be accurate, write; 10 remember write; to
know thine own mind, write;
Hast thou thought upon Thy BRAIN catch
il while thou canst; -
Or other thoughts shall settle there, and this
shall soon take wing; *. .a..st,r.I !.
Write often, for Thy secret eye: so shal, thou
grow wiser; ,..t .H.I.s,' H.@5 au
The commonest mind is full of thoughts;
some worthy of the rarest; and could il see
them fairly writ would wonder at its wealth
A letter timely writ is rivet TO the chain Of
affection; a .o ar ii #" u"
And letter untimely delayed, is ss rust TO

The pen flowing withlove, or dipped black
IN hate, hath quckened more good than the
