A SPEECH ON TEMPERANCE.
RY ]. N. HUME, N. d.

YE friends of moderation,
Who think a reformation,
Or moral renovation,
Would benefit our nation,
Who deem intoxication,
With all its dissipation,
Tn every rank and station,
The cause of degradation,
OF which your observation,
Gives daily demonstration,
Who see the ruination,
Distress and desolation,
The open violation,
Of moral obligation;
The wretched habitation,
Without accommodation,
Or any regulation,
For common sustentatlon,
A scene of deprivation
Unequaled in creation;
The frequent desecration,
Of Sabbath ordinations;
The crime and depreciation,
Defying legislation;
The awful profanation
Of common conversation;
The mental alteration
And dire infatuation,
With every sad gradation
To maniac desperation;
Ye who, with CONSERVATION,
Behold this devastation,
And utter condemnation
On all inebriation,
Why sanction its duratiopi
Or show disapprobation
OF any combination
For its determination?
We deem declaration,
That offers NO temptation,
By any palliation,
OF this illumination,
The only sure foundation;
And under THIS persuasion
Hold no communication
With noxious emanation
Of brewers fermentation,
Or poisonous preparation
OF spirits distllation,
Nor any vain libation
Producing stimulation.
To this determination,
We call consideration,
And, without hesitation,
Invite cU-operation;
Not doubling imitation
viii raise your estimation,
And, by continuation,
Afford you consolation;
For in participation
With this association,
You may by meditation,
Insure the preservation
Ola future generation
From all contamination.
And may each indication
0fsuch regeneration
BE the theme of eXultation,
Till its final consummation.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.

EDITED by AN ASSOCIATION or LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
ustrious in the service of the country. Every por
ton oil the work viii receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared TO render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public. "..s..
Mr Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, III collecting Portraits for National Gal
lcry, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior TO any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. MIR. Brady
reputation has been too long established to need any
| recomne ndation. His daguerrcotypes arc in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with Tie soul
oil the living countcnance.
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose. ~ g.. '., ..,.-.,f %.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted, whose talents
and public services have Won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of glorious Union will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendlble
undertaking, that its publication may make in
the progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illstrious Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

wrong to do so, unless they are conscious Of ho.

LITERARY WOMEN.

How many literary women has any one per
son seen? How would the list compare in
length with that Of the petty tritlers who never
in the whole course Of their mortal lives took up
q book ith the least intention Of obtaininn any
information from it? The spite which Is gener
ally nInrishel aglins these unhlppy ladies in
plies gIeat respect; for their numbers arc too
insignificant to tract notice, if the individuals
were not of consequence. And it may be notic
ed here as being particularly curious, that the
mal wha declaims Ioudest against the ideal ofa
writing woman, is sure to be most vain glorious

of his wife or daughter The gift of place does
not sooner silence a vehement patriot, than the

THE CHERUBS wRLCOME
By MRS. sIGOURNLY,

Among the bright-rubed host of Heaven, two
cherubs were filled with new rapture. Gladness,
that mortal eye hath never seeIl, bcamed from
Their bright bIows, as with tunetul voices they
exclaimed
"Joy joy lie com,th! Welcome, wei
come, dear brother! Babe redeemed from
earth"
And they clasped in their radiant arms new
immortal.
Then, to their golden harpS, they chanted -
60 Thou shalt weep more, our brother, Meth
-b-n -is,E @n,ifs sbs-- For .I,er., is no
death neither sorrow, nor signing"
At the Savlour's feet they knelt together, with
their warbled strains, " llaise be unto Thee!
who d,dst say, Suffer little children to come un.
to me-"
"Thuu didst take them 10 thy bosom on the
earth and through thy love- they enter into the
kingdom of hsaven. Endless praise and glory
be Thina, o Lord Most High!
They led the little one TO amarnnthine bowers,
and wreathed around his temples the flowers that
never fade. They gave him OF the iruit of the
tree oi life and Of the water that gushes clear AS
crystal, from before the throne of God and of the
Lamb.
And they said, Beautiful one, who were too
young to lisp the dialect of earth, sweet to thee
will be the pure language Of heaven. Brlngest
thou to us no token from the world that was once
our home"
Then answered the babe cherub, Here is cur
mothers last kiss, with tear upon it, and the
prayer with which our father gave me back tC
God"
And they said Their gifts are sweet to Va.
We remember her smile, who lulled us on her
breast whose eye was open through the long
night, when sickness Snote us; and his voice
who taught us the name Of Jesus.
"Ot times do we hover about them. We arc
near them, though they zee us not. While they
lnourn, we drop into their hearts a balmdrop
and thought of heaven, and fly back hither'
.swifler thpn the wings of mornng
1--WE keep watch ut the shining gates fo
the n, IN for the white haired parents whom they
honor, and for our fair sister, that we may be thu
first to welcome them. Lo, when all are here
our joy shall be full"
Long they talked together, folding their rain
bow wings. They talked long with their music
tenes, yet the darkness came not. For there il
no night there.
Then there burs. forth great song; choir'
Of angels saying, iioIy, holy, holy, Lord Go,
Almighty. Just and true ure thy ways, tho,
King # S,inls."
And the yres of the cherub brothers jonec
the chorus, swelling the melody Of heaven.
