Look at the bright side! The suns golden

Why wilt thou turn so perversely TO gaze
On that dark cloud which now In the distance
apPemeth
Look at the bright side Recount all thy Joys
Speak Of the mercies which richly surround
thee;
Muse not for ever on that which annoys;
Shut not thine eyes 10 the beauties around
thee.
Look at the bright side Mankind, It is true,
Have their failIngs, nor should they be spok-

But why on their faults thus concentrate thy
view,
Forgetting their virtues which shine forth no

Look at the bright side. And Il shall impart
Sweet peace, and contentrnent, and grateful
emotion,
Rejecting lis own brilliant hues onl thy heart,
As the sunbeams that mirror themselves in
the ocean.
Look at the bright side Nor yield to despair;
IL some friends forsake, yet others still love
thee;
And when the world seems mOurnful colors TO
wear,
{ oh, look from the dark earth to heaven above
thee.

Horace may be regarded as the inventor
OF the poetic epistle, as Lucilius had been Of
the satire. It is not improbable that the
idea may have been suggested to him by the
Perusal Of the epistles Of Cicero, whose
works he carefully read, as is evident from
many Passageain his poems. As he was no
great lover Of rigorous order and method. he
probably saw great advantages in species
Of composition which would allow him n
proceed with subject Just as far as he
pleased. and then TO drop it and pass to an
other, and this we shall find to be the mode
he adopted. The paragraphs, therefore. in

HE TEMPEANCE ANNIvERsARY.-Ih Orleans
Temple of Honor, No. 3, one of the most infuen-
tial and numerous of the many Temperance Asso-
Citations that have grown upin New Orleans during
the last five six years, yesterday celebrated its
anniversary. Late in the afternoon the Templars

formed in procession at the Temple Hail. Tchoup-

streets, as appointed by the programme, with an
excellent band of music at the head The respecia-
bility Of the body and the beauty of the Regalia
of the Templars were noted and admired. The
procession was not as large as was anticipated but
this is accounted for by the absorption, at this
moment, Of the public mind in politics. The cele
braiion was concluded in the Baptist Church on
St. Charles street. The house full, and large
part of the assemblage consisted of ladies. The
exercises justified the general interest. Messrs o.
NJ. Wozencraft and J. w. Crockett and another
gentleman who appeared in the stead of the Rev

cessively addressed the audience in brief imprompu
speeches. The virtue of temperance was well
argued, and its benefits illustrated by interesting
anecdote. The object of the Association which
was celebrating its anniversary were fully ex-
planned, and its secrets shown to be necessary for
proper discrimination in the distribution Of its
charities Prayer and ode were mingled with the
addresses, and when the meeting dispersed there
