aLoOK NOT UPON THE WINE"

tLook not upon the wine when it is red,
when it giyeth its color in the cup, when it
moveth Itself aright."-Prov. XIII. 81.
Look not on the sparkling wine.
Ye men of silver hairs;
Twill trace more wrinkles on my brow,
Than it already wears.
Twill quickly lead you to the grave,
In sorrow and in shame ;
Twill break your children's hearts,
And cast disgrace upon your name.
The lowiy tomb will not conceal
The sorrow it will bring;
The deep regret, the keen remorse,
That will the bosom wiring.
Look not upon the wine cups light,
Ye men in life's fair prime;
Twill bring old age upon your steps
Long, long before tits time.
Twill lure the soul from virtues ways,
And plunge it in despair.
Twill cloud the brow, and make the heart
The seat of canhering care,
Twill take from life all real joy,
AL manhood's honest pride;
And misery, and woe, and shame,
VIII in its place abide.
Look not upon the tempter wine.
Young men in life's gay morn;
Unless you'd have its sunny sky,
OF all its brightness shorn,
Unless you'd voc deaths chill embrace,
And find a nameless grave;
o never, never make yourself,
The wine cups blinded slave.
Resist its temptings, shun its power,
Ii dazzles to destroy;
Or sore repentance surely will
Your after years employ.

EDUCATION.

The following instructions were CIV
en- by a wise parent to the tutor of his
son :
4" value The instilling Of a single prin-
ciple Of goodness or honor into the mind
Of my dear child, beyond all the wealth
that the Indies can remit.
First be it your care to instruct him
in morality /; and let the law precede the
gospel--for such was the education which
God appointed for the world. Give him,
by familiar and historical instances, an
early impression Of The shortness of hu-
man life, and Of the nature of the world
in which he is placed. Let him learn,
from this day forward. 10 distinguish be-
tween natural and imaginary wants and
that nothing is estimabie, or ought TO be
desirable, but so far as il is necessary or
useful TO man. Instruct my darling, cai-
ly and hourly, If possible, in preference
Of manners aud things which bear an in
%trinsic value, TO those which receive their
value and currency fiom the arbitrary and
tickle stamp oil fashion. Show him, also.
that the same poverty and pain. from
which people now fly as from a plague,
were once the desire Of heroes and the
fashion Of nations and that thousands Of
patriots. of captains and philosophers,
through a love of their country or oil
glory, of applause during life OIL d;stlnc.
ton after death, have rejected wealth and
pleasure, embraced want and hardship
and suffered more from a voluntary NOR
LITIGATION and self-denial, than our church
seems TO require, in these days. for the
conquest of a sensual world into which
we are fallen, and for enticing US to +;
crown in the kingdom Of eternity"
