PLAYING CHILDREN.

Laugh on, while yet the rosy blush, ''''
OF childsood's morning tints your skies,
Laugh on, while yet the kindling flush sav =
Is on your cheeks, and in your eyes; E.
would not tell to make you grieve, :.
How soon that mirth shah pass away,
That morning fade, aud only leave
The broad dull light Of common day.
It tmakes my very spirit glad, e1s
Tosee your mirth and careless joys,
And may you never be more sad
Than you are now, my bright-eyed boys
But can read on every face,
something upon every brow,
Which will not pass without trace
Of things you are not dreaming now,
First, passions wild and dark and strong,
Ank hopes and powers and feelings high!
Then manhood's thoughts, rushing throng.
Shall sink the cheek and dim the eye,
And brows shall grow allpale with care,
The lip shall writhe in scorn and pain.
Old age come on with hoary hair,
And sadly tend to earth again.
And cherished fancies, one by one,
Shall slowly fade from day to day;
And then, from weary sun to sun, ..v
Yewill not have the heart to play.
But oft amidst the shifting scene,
Ye'll smile on childhoods thoughtIess joy,
And wish you had forever been
A careless, laughing, happy boy.

July, 1854.
FELLOW CITIZENS You have as.
sembleI yourselves here to-day for an
object truly praiscworthy, no less i,
one than that Of celebrating the Ami.
versary OF American Independence I; of
preserving the memory of those dc.
parted ones who so galIautly achieved
those liberties that we now enjoy and
of promoting the Temperance cause
the cause Of all mankind. You have
great work before you in resisting
the current of intcmpcrancc which has
set III like Il floud.tide upon our other
wise happy land. Every christian
should give this subject serious con.
sldcration. Every true patriot should
give it that thought which its impor.
tancc demands. 1t is III awful fact to
contemplate, that i'll the city Of New
Orleans, $2O,000,O0O arc annually ex.
pended in ardent spirits. Tile liquors
and wines produced annually in the
United States amount to 43.lS38J5
gallons. You see | have only glanced
at the importation into, and the pro.
duee OF liquors in the United States :
now let me give you brief sketch OF
the results. In the first place, pauper.
ism in the year 1850, cost the State OF
Now York 81, ,2O0,00O; an average OF
the other States would give the vast
amount Of Sl2,0O0,O0O. The cause is
lntemPcrance with n few exceptions

Is thus thrown upon the sober and in
dustrious part of tkc community. The
support of paupers costs South Carroll

the death of the drunkard it is aln,os,
impossible to ascertain, owing to

posed however that about 10000 men
annually fall into drurkald's grave
and their souls into drunkard's hell
But fellow citizens, making paupers i,
not all of the evil. The following
statement speaks strongly in favor @
the temperance cause. lst, Intemncr
