Address to Time.

-sb Tell me, thou ever moving tide, '--
~ From what huge cliff hast thou thy source!
81 In what deep ocean dost thou hide
sH' The stream that just hath run its course!
when wilt thou leave this mortal strand,
And the last bark on thy bosom flung.
Founder by tn Eternal Gods command.
sS' Aud earth's last requiem be sung!-
Hush! hush! my restless soul be still;
10 T. know these things, It's to man forbidd'n,
IT'S Jehovah's wise and holy will
LtAThatto his angels, they are hidd'n.
IT'S enough TO know, at Gods command,
IAN angel. with commission high,
'ta With one foot on sea and one on land,
vii proclaim the awful end is nigh.
The improvement Of time ,comprehends the whole
business of mar. To divide and appropriate it
correctly to the various purposes of human happi.
ness, is the highest, and noblest achievement Of
finite wisdom. All that is required Of man is en-
braced in his duty to himself, to his fellow man,
and to his God. And he who discharges these
obligations has made the appropriate use OF time;
ishappy within himself, esteemed among men, and
acceptable to his God. We should examine the
past, and avoid the repetition of what is wrong,
and improve what is r%ight-be attentive to bu-
siness-punctual in our engagements-shun vice
zen, y-no man-be Ch~ristians-esteem virtue
speak the truth--go to church--never break a
promise, nor promise to do wrong-"dare to do
right"-use no deception-defer not till to-inor-
row what may be done to.day--quarrel with no
one--speak evil of nune--be not tenacious of our
opinions--be kind to man and brute; or in other
words obey the scriptures.

For l have patrons nf each kind;
I mean both democrat and wing.
e. Could | please both, I'd give a fig; ,t...
81 Really j know not how t fxit
Unless manage some how t mix it.
~ Our stars and stripes should be respected,
No dishonor should be reflected
On those who honestly maintain 'em,
And blast the wretch whe seeks to stain 'em
Either by foul speech or action,
." From principle or party faction.
~ Should not each freeman respect tn cause
Which defends our honor and our laws,
ID. And love the home which makes him free,
hi'And support its flag DER land or sea.
~ Should not each freeman love that band
WHO seek danger in a foreign land, ,
~ In obedience to tn righteous call
-FOUR country makes upon US all.
Then nine cheers for tn flag that doth wave
Where tyrants reigned and crouch'd tn slave.

ea Whose love is all for Mexico,
An answer l would have 10 those @
Plain questions, which | nav propose.

= Provoke the cause which made them bleed;
Were not our sons in letters bound, ''-
81 In sickIy dungeons under ground;
s. Whose signs and groans went up in vain,
ITO that Merican who held the chain;
Did they not our loved flag insult.
10 And in that daring crime exult?
iisDid we not wrongs, with patience bear,
.BGriefs, that weaker pow'rs would scorn t'share;
And did they not the fight m
Upon dur army of defence?
Now forbear'nce leaves her peaceful throne,
Justice takes the place aud claims her wi
The new incumbent gives command
Ten thousand freen,cn ready stand z
To execute the stern behest, ..,.s

They w%ent-they saw-they conquered too,
And the foe before them wildly flew; sg5g
Brave men. they've noble honors won
Let's nobiy finish what's thus begun.
Now a word or wot t my other friends,
a If haid things I've said I'll make amends.
War is alocofoco measure,
