 Aesvs. ESatas q 4 possicai efi<tie, of much vi and hnmor, made its appearances, some eight or tei years ago in Boffhern periodical addressed to sh. President ef the New Eseiand Temperance Soeie ty. who had recommended the ints0daesiea of wo men. instead of wine, at embellishments; and be. isving that wiii be read, particularly al the pre- seut moment sf high temperance exeitensent. eveE by Father Mathew himself with the meet Fislbls effects, sssd yea copy for Puhlieatiaa--Isavias 10 your readers tO determine which of the two wOmea or Wine, is the more preferable for the above object:
 ss0ne of the two. according to yoxR ch0ice. Women or wine, yeu n have te an6ergo; Both Halndias are fatal to oar joys,
 Bat which to choose, I really hardly know. . 1 have tried both; aud these who wOaid part take M ass choose between xse>assshs and hcaFs-selse'
 IByTeM. Oh. most weak and fooI-hsrdy FsfeE1ses, To substitute women for wine, Tho glare of whose presence s warmer Than the sunniest juice of the vine. Who barters for beauty his whisksy, The change will be certain to rue: For her eyes shed splr,f more risky Than lufks in she bess "moantain dew" An. those eyes, at each meeting go merry, fou' ind to oatSparkls champagne; And ringlets more golden than cAsyTy, Will faddle as wei your poor brain. More taperiBg necks than the bottles, With mouths nore bewisdsringiy crowned. Will pour from their ravishing thrOtties, stream that sage wenia confoaad- If wine makes us bsutss, love is able To turn us to fools with like ease, If the one lays undsr the table.
 'Totaer brings us. al least. to our knses. At dianer, when warmed with good eating. 'Tts woman. not wine, we should Hee, Perfect Loves" great deal moFe heating Thaa ever abused '.eaa de vie.s Still at table some mischief shs's brewing. Off feet serape seqaaintance beasw, An! no Aesi tGps 30 pregnant with ruia. As these hidden aPs cf the toe. And hands between courses. at leisure, Make friends when thers s 10 oae to mark Ah, less poison yieat grapes under pressure Than fingers thus sq0eezsd in the dark. As home reels the poor toper of beauty, How crimsoned lis visage. poor eli, How fesered he sleeps, how his duty la left 10 take care of itself. When thwaried, how paised his powers. Till he sinksin despair at deaths door, Ah. if woman her victim thus cowaFs, What. ask, Cap tue bottle de morel Believe me, less fatal are jusePs
 Than women in wi,eheFy skilled; For lhere ooxes more raia iron two lips Than ever from grain was dissili'd. No spirit so ardent as Wotnans,
 So sure to iutoxicate man Her touch is "deriam irerBeas,"
 That mSddeas him mora than the can. The glance of her eye is ablue rnin," Her blush is the blood of the viDe-- Her poHt is paaeh, ia whose brewing, Tart, sugar, and spirit combine So sparkling, 50 heating. so heady,
 No hope fer her victim appaars; should her smiles only render him giddy. < He'll be surely mace drunk by her tears Not the grspe-luIce of Eden made Adam So stupidiy forfeit his all; Twas the lure of his volatile madam, Led him tipsiiy ca to the fall Not the wines of fair Cyprus the rover, So sure lis wOmea 6eguiie; Better rest where he is half over, Than steer for so fatal isle Oh. then shun such a tetrPter as sine is, Nor commerce so hazardous court Who embark on the of her dresses. Viii grieVe that he vent1red from port
