Written for the @Spirit Of the Age"
BY MISS A. W. POPE, OF wARRENToN, !. C.
THE DRUNKARD'S PICTURE.
The drunkarda cups, the drunkard's cupsl
O, they are glittering things;
Bright with the many coloured hues
Which fancy DOR them filings.
The drunkard's songs, the drunkard's songs!
They echo long and loud:
And while they pain the modest ear,
Amuse the giddy crowd.
The drunkard's laugh, the drunkardis Taught
Right. merrily it ringeth;
But to the good and feeling heart
A note of sadness bringetL.
The drunkard's home, the drunkard's home!
Alas, how drear and lone:
Though once upon its withered flowers,
Loves vital sunbeam shone.
The drunkards wife, the drunkard's wifei
o, who may tell her sorrow,
Or look upon her mournful face
Without a thrill of horror.
The drunkard's child, the drunkard's child!
What storms are in its sky:
Happy, if on its mothers breast
It can lie dow and die.
The drunkard's heart, the drunkard's heart!
1t groweth cold and hard,
As every law of God and man
He learns to disregard.
The drunkard's death, the drunkard's death!
So awful is the sight
The record of the scene should be
Hid in eternal night.
The drunkard's grave, the ~drunkard's gravel
o, it is low indeed,
And DER it springs in w~antonness
Each vile and noxious weed.
The drunkard's doom, the drunkard's doomi
The word of God has spoken,
And in the silvery chain of hope
Each fragile link is broken.
o, thou most strong and living God,
How fearful is the falling
Into thy hands, when on such deeds
For vengeance thou art calling!
Defend us from the hosts of sin
Which all around us wait;
; This above all we ask-Oh! Godi
Sore from a drunkards fate.

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. Of III
United States in Congress assembled: The memorIa
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the &C
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that il patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an s'','uaI
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF THE


A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
N STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIErY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
24tif and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition ihereat portions of your stock,
the products Of your orchards and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
is as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list Of
competition If defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
soipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
70 heir peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufacturer the products Of the dairy and Of
tie poultry yard, preserves, domestic wines co'yec-
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
scttho, scoman, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
taste and genius, no display can DC perfect
To the Manuthcturers Of agricultural Implements
smd Tools we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from present advices,
We are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and .Mechoics Of the United States,
make il matter of pride to display your machi-
nerv at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer a favor by copying this notice.
