Would you learn the bravest thing
That man can ever do!
Would you be an uncrswned king,
Absolute and true!
Would We seek to emulate
All We learn in story,
Ofthe moral, just, and great,
Rich in real glory!
Would ye loose much bitter care
Inyour lot belows
Bravely speak out when and where
IT'S right to utter "Ne"
Learn to speak this little word
In its proper place
Let no timid doubt be heard
Clothed with sceptio grace.
Let thy lips without disguise,
Boldly pour it ost;
Though thousand dulcet lies
Keep lowering about.
For be sure our hearts would lose
Future years of woe,
If our courage could refuse
The present hour W ith ''No."
When Temptations form wsuld lead
To some pleasant wreng-
When she tunes her hollow reed
To the syren song
When she offers bribe and smile
And our conscience feels
There is nought but shining guile
In the gift she deals,
Then, oh then, let courage rise
To the strongest flow;
Show that ye are brave as wise,
And firmly answer mo"
Hearts that are too often given
Like street merchandise
Hearts that like bought slaves are driven
In fair freedoms guise-
Ye that poison soul and mind
With perjury's fosl stains,
Ye who let the cold world bind
In joyless marriage chaiRs,
Be true unto yourselves and God,
Let rapk and fortune go;
If love light not the altar spot
Let Feeling answer "No."
Men with goOdly spirits blest,
Willing to do right,
Yet who stand with wavering breast
Beneath Persuasion's might,
When companions seek to taunt
Judgment into sin;
When the loud laugh fain would daunt
Your better voice within,
Oh. be sure yell never meet
More insidious foe:
But strike the coward to your feet
BY Reasons watchword, "No."
All! how many thorns we wreathe
To twine our brows around,
By not knowing when to breathe
This important sound.
Many breast has rued the day
When it reckoned less
Of fruits upon the moral "Nay,"
Many sad repentant thought
Turns to "Iong ago"
When luckless fate was wrought
BY want of saying "No."

GA young lady Of my acquaintance" says a
friend III recent note to the Editor, married
Gently, and the mother of her husband being in
very poor health, she was taken Immediately
home by her liege lord to nurse and take care OF
the 'old folks In the course of few months the
mother was removed by death. The dutful and
sympathizing daughter-in-law thus expressed her
grief at this event, TO company other neighbors,
who called in to take tea with her on afternoon
soon after her sad bereavement: oh, dearr said
she; 'how much l miss my poor dear mother -
Why, it seems to me can see her now, just as
she used to sit at the breakfasttabe, reaching out
her fork for the best potato!r" This reminds US
of "a man without tear Mssourian at the grave
of his wife: Z" I have lost cows he said to a
neighbor as the coffin was lowered into the grave.
" I've lost sheep; I've lost hosses, and I've lost
calves: but this is the wust Of the whole lot !"

Vegetarianisrl.

The editor of the New York Mirror has
been carrying on discussion with the Vegetari-
ans, and pitches into them in way that can't
be beat" He boldly avows his opposition to
squashes, turnips, and potatoes as an exclusive
diet, and expresses determination to stick by
roast beef, turkey, boiled mutton and other such
substantial creature comforts" TO the last. One
of the bran-oread and pea-soup philosophers"
having quoted the Chinese as among the advo-
Gates and exemplars of vegetable diet, the Mirror
is after him with sharp STICK" as follows -
That the Chinese are geat eaters of rice is very
true; but that they vary their diet by feeding on
a peculiar race of dogs, fattened upon rice, and al
SO upon rats, mice, snakes, lizards, and even upon
earth-worms, "a great delicacy with them,) is
ceptble of ample proof. The story of the Yam
kee captain at Canton who had ordered, through
curiosity, full course for Chinese dinner, of
whatever cost, is to the point. After taking many
equvocal, though palatabe dishes, his eye fell up
on platter containing what resembled pair of
ducks. He could speak no Chinese, and his pig
tailed attendant was equally at fault with regard
to the English language. The captain at last in
genously bethought himself of the natural lingo
of animals. Pointing to the dish in question, he
uttered the words, "quack, quack, quack !" The
Chinaman gravely shook his head, and responded
with a significant negative, No bow, WOW,
wow"

mad enduring monument to the great men o! the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are 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's
reputation has been too long established to need any
rccomme nda'i"n. His daguertcotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
Of the living c0untcnance.
The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to these 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 as carefully and in as superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % mchcs r:ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
will therefore be comprehensive in IFS spirit. The
names of those men only arc admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
parncnts Of life will have its representatives. Art
nd Literature universal III their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon

the nation We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend OF our glorious Union, will respond TO APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc
undertaking, that its publication my make an in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping tke
lnstrious OF the Union together, consolidate
still more firmly.
As no work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place ii
beyond the reach Of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have therefore,
