MODERATE DRINKING.-It is easier said the
great moralist johnson it is easier to abstain
than to be temperate,' and the experience of all
ages tends to confirm the truth of the apothem.
Let moderate drinkers then beware The bold
navigator, who with fasorng winds Tenturedto
sail upon the verge of the Norwegian malstrom
felt his heart die within him, and his courage
quail when he perceived his vessel yield forsn
instant to the force of the current, which ran
sweeping in mighty circles around the dread
full gulf He has escaped to tell theaale, and
boast Of the successful qualification of a not
unreasonable curiosity. But he has escaped
alone; and the mariner would be esteemed =
madman, who without object should initiate the
example of his temeriy. Yet seduecd by SINH
lar instances amongssathose who have drank
moderately and continued to drink of the intoxi-
eating cup, our young men listen to the voice Of
the syren, Disregard all warning, and glide rapid
ly down Into iyremediable destruction.

SENATOR DoudLas.s2Our readers may have
elsewhere observed the report that the distin-
guishcd Senator from tnieis had, during his

(who was formerly pastor Of tire church which
Senator Douglas attended, with ihis family. J

"The gentleman alluded to is undoubtedly

lodgings for about ten days at tavern in
York county, Pa, and Jared sumptuously,
drinking two or three bottles of wine daily.
The last day dispute arose about the speed

Mems gttms, Mr.
Bloody Duel in New Orleans.

The New Orleans Picayune of the lst
inst, says:
"a duel was fought on tho other side of
the river yesterday afternoon, between Mr.,
Cohn, editor Of the Stats Zeitung, and DR..
Wintzel, editor Of another German paper,
published in this city, which 1t is feared will
end fatally for one Of the parties. The con-
ditions of the duel were, that they should
fight with pistols, the one winning the first
shot to fire at PAGES, the other at s. The
following are stated as particulars of what
transpired on the ground:
Mr.. Cohn fired first at 10 PAGES and miss
ed. He then advanced ten PAGES and hall
ed, when Wintzel raised his pistol While
all were expecting to hear the report, his
hand slowly sank to his side, and the sec
onds rejoiced in the idea that no blood was
to be shed, and an estimable life preserved.
But their hopes proved fallacious, for Wint-
Eel raised his pistol and fired. The ball
struck Mr.. Cohn in the right side, just be-
low the ribs, but did not pass out, and at
late hour last night, no hopes were enter
tanned ofhis recovery. Wintzel has disap-
peared, but the police are in hot pursuit
him."

R- The Crcateur Lakes, in the town of
Manlius, Onandaga county, New York, are
curios;ties, and are supposed to be of volcap-
ic origin. They are, by the Inhabitants
about there called the Green Lakes. One
of them is on the top of hill, and is in the
form Of tea cup. The banks are two hun.
dred feet high, and the water four hundred
feet deep. The water appears of deep
green, but when taken up in glass, is per-
fectly clear and transparent. Trees and
limbs which fall into the water, soon become
encrusted with a bright green substance,
which being exposed to the air becomes hard
The timber decays aud leaves the incrus
tation in the shape Of hollow tubes. Wood
saturated with this water and burned, emits
a strong odor Of sulphur. A farmer, who
resides near, once heard a great rush of wa
ter, and looking round saw the lake rising
over the banks. He was alarmed and fed
with his team but the water soon receded
to its usual level.

gY Some thirty, or more aboriginees of
the Onandaga tribe, last week paid a visit to
Auburn, for the purpose of seeing the mon
ument erected in the fort Hill Cemetry to
the memory ofLogan. They gazed with
stole looks and unmoved countenances on
that token to the memory of one of their
kind, and undoubtedly secretly felt natior =
al pride that the great spirit had prompted
the present generation of pale faces to an
act commemorative ofan Indian brave whose
name is identified with aboriginal greatness.

Oh how love at evenings close
When days last lingering beams decay,

To sit and muse the hours away,
'Tis not till Sors rsspleudcnt blaze,
The mountains western verge has sought
The moons pale crescent she displays,
To soothe the soul 10 solemn thought
IT'S not till present scenes around,
Have faded with the fading day,
When mom'ry's siivery light be found,
To bring the soul beneath her sway.
Oh, memory, sweet consoling power,
On earth thy lot is kindly cast,
To cheer each solitary hour,
With pleasures borrowed from the past.
Thou art the sole memento left,
OF many day forever gone,
And were of thine aid bereft,
/ scarce could wish another dawn.
Each early scene revived by thee,
And youthful friends around ME stand,
SO plain-so fresh-they seem to be
Returning from distant land.
At such m hour, feel like those,
Who skim the oceans aveless breast,
When evenings shades around them close,
And mildest zephyrs soothe to rest.
Far from the busy haunts Of life
They keep their noiseless peaceful way,
Nor hear the worlds discordant strife,
Nor feel the passions ruthless sway.
Although the smooth, unruffled tide,
Still bear them onward from their homes
In dreams with Fancy's wings supplied
Round that loved spot the seaman roams
He hears the voice Of friendship greet,
With cheering words his safe return
Or sees that glance so witching. sweet
That makes the heart with rapture burn.
Tis thus amid my waking dreams,
fly Ger times swift rolling wave,
Andjoinl my friends in distant scenes,
Or call them from the dreary grave.
IT'S Mt such times that Fancy's flight
Seorning the realms ,f present day
Far through futurity's dark night
Pursues her swift adventurous way.

Of other days and happier times,
And dreams Of that supreme delight
Reserved alone for purer climcs

Shall mar the lovliness of day,

Which reasons light must chase away.
But oh the dreams she then pnrsues,
Like Western clouds at close of day,
Assumes thousand forms and hues,
