comes appropriately in place here. Du-

INTEMPERANCE.

There is a domestic tyrant now traversing
the fairest districts of our county, consuming
its young and vital energies, treading down
the blossom of its hopes, undermining its
free institutions, setting at defiance all its au-
thorities, multiplying engines of torture, fen
cling off graveyards, and breathing pesti}ence
upon every acre of our goodly heritage
This man-devouring shape,
"If shape it may be called, which shape has
none,
Distinnguishable in n member, joint, or limb"
"Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell"
is INTEMPERANCE. "Other lords have had
dominion over us" but here is the very Nero
Of the horrid dynasty, and we must dethrone
the despot, or we are lost. five sit still bat
a little longer, and look quietly on, while this
scourge is raging like tempest of fire in all
our borders, the Fourth of July will indeed
come, but we shall have no independence to
celebrate. Our liberties will exist only in
the song Of the drunkard. Fuit Ltiuna
that THEY WERE, will be written upon all
the monuments Of our glory.
Who can enumerate the diseases which
intemperance generates in the brain, liver,
stomach, lungs, bones, muscles, nerves, fluids,
and whatever else is susceptible of disease or
pain in the human system? How rudely
does it shut up, one after another, all the
doors of sensation; or, in the caprice of its
wrath, throw them all wide open to every
hateful intruder! How, with refinement
of cruelty almost peculiar to itself, does it fly
in the face of It's victims, and hold their quiv-
ering eyeballs in its fangs till they abhor the
light and swim in blood
Mark that carbuncled, slavering. doubtful
remnant of a man, retching and picking tan
sy before sunrise-loathing his breakfast
getting his ear bored to the door of dram
shop an hour after-disguised before ten
quarreling by dinner-time, and snoring drunl
before supper. See him next morning a
his retching and his tansy again; and, a
the day advances, becoming noisy, cross
dwelling, and intoxicated Think of hi
thus dragging out months and years cf tor
ture, till the earth refuses any longer to bea
such wretch upon its surface, and then tel
me if any Barbarian slave was ever so miser
able.
But who is this that comes hobbline up
with bandaged legs, infamed eyes, and !;
distorted countenance Every step is Tx
the piercing of sword, or the driving of
nail among nerves ard tendons. And wha
is the cause? The humOrs, he tells us, troubf
t him; and though he has applied to all tn
doctors far and near, he can get no relief
[ All, these wicked and inveterate humors =
/ Every body knows where they came from

Look f1ext at that wretched kOpel, open on
all sides to the rude and 6renching intrusion
OF the elements. The painting skeleton, ly.
ing, as you see, upon little straw in the
corner prey to consumption, was once the
owner of yonder comfortable mansion, and
OF that farm SO rich in serdure and in sheayes.
de might have owned them still, and have
kept his health too, but for the love of strong
drink. 1t Is intemperance which has con-
sumed his substance, rioted upon his flesh
and his marrow, and shortened his breath.

thrifty, reputable, and happy-but he drank,

consequences are before you. The swelling

breath, no finite power can long assuage.
