MORAL CouRAGE.-Sydney Smith, in his
work on moral philosophy, speaks in this
wise of what men lose for want of little
moral courage, or independence of mind: "a
great deal of talent is lost in the world for
want ofa little courage. Every day sends
to their graves number of obscure men,
who have only remained in obscurity because
their timidity has prevented them from
making first effort; and who, if they could
have been induced to begin, would in all
probability have gone great lengths in the
career of fame. The fact is, that to do any
thing in this world worth doing, we must
not stand back shivering and thinking of the
cold ard danger, but jump in and scramble
through rs well as we can. It will not do
TO be perpetually calculating risks, and ad.
justing nice chances; it did very we'll before
she Flood, when man could consult his
friends upon an intended publication for
hundred and fifty years, and then live to see
its success afterward; but at present man
waits, and doubts, and consuts his brother,
and particular friends, till one fine day he is
sixty years of age; that he has lost so much
time in consulting his friends cousins and
particular friends, that he hasno more time
TO follow their advice"

A VICTIM OF INTEMpERANCE.

FOUND AD.-Charles--------was found
frozen to death in the street this morning.
The deceased was seen intoxicated ut late
hour last nght.-M----- Advertiser, Non. 5.
Poor Chares-I knew him we'll Five
years ago he came to Nj, fine, promis-
ing young man. The bloom Of health wa.
on his cheek, and energy and intelligence
beamed from his fine dark eye. He engaged
in business, and was gaining golden opinions
from the Inhabitants of NJ by his applica.
tion to business, and quiet, gentlemnnly de-
pertinent. But, in an unlucky moment he
commenced drinking. "Moderate drinking
will do no harm," he used to say, when he
was warned ngninst the dangerous habit he
was forming; but the taste for liquor grew on
him until at last, like the i'll starred mariner
whose bark once enters the rim of the fatal
Mnelstrom, there was no escape, and every
moment plunged him deeper and deeper in
the vortex of dissipation.
He neglected bis business, lost his situa-
tion, and his friends dropped of until he had
but few, amongst which was noble New
foundand dog, who was ever near hm-tak.
ing without resistance, the kicks and blows
which his master, in his drunken moments
showered on him with no sParing hand; and
who, when his master fell in the street, KEEP,
by his side and guarded him from harm, with
socitude almost human, unit! once, in q
drunken paroxysm, when the faithful animal
stood over him to guard him from harm
Charlie drew knife and stabbed him to the
hoart. The noble brute, faithful even in
death, fell, and with his last expiring effort
licked the hand that slew him. The scene
for The moment sobered Charlie, and he shed
bitter tears over the poor dog.
The next day lW came to me soberer than
| had seen him for weeks, and asked me to
accompany him to his room. | complied
When we got there, he led me to one side of
the apartment, and paused before two pic
lures, over which were drapod thick folds Of
black Grape. lie drew the Grape aside from
one of the pictures, and exhibited fine steel
engraving representing n wild mountain glen,
rude grave, and dog stretched on it,
Beneath was written, "rhe Shepherds Last
Friend and Chief Mourner!" 81 had," said
he, "such friend, and he died by my hand
lie here gave way to m uncomfortable burst
of anguish. When a little composed, he
drew the veil from the other picture, and re-
vealed an exqnisilely executed portrait, of q
beautiful woman, apparently about eighteen
years old. Her sunny hair clustered over hel
marble brow, her eyes were large, lustrous
and dark|y blue; smile of happiness slightly
curved her finely formed lips. "That," he
gnsped, dis the portrait of her was to have
married TO day. Two months ago she died
broken hearted by my conduct"
After this he drank deeper than ever, until
in state of intoxication, lie slept in the
street one fearful night, and was found lrozcr
to death in the morning. Young men, bewar,
of the tempter! Take warning from the fat,
of poor Charlie.--Famiiy Visitor.

SOUTHERN VIEWS OF POLITICS.

To he Editors Of the New York ETpress:-
The course Of the recent contest, and its re-
snlt. cause great fear to every lover Of the
Union. We are now divided into two great
sections, the Northern and the SOuihern-I
see little hope Of the revival OF parties other
than sectional. As you have maintained ably
during the canvass, the North has forced this
issue upon the South. We are upon the de
fensive, awaiting the threatened assaults
upon our institutions. II is this, which has
cmbndied the Southern States in IN almost
unbr"ken mass IN favor of Mr.. Buchanan,
who WIS the sectional candidate of the South,
us was boldly declared by the Richmond
Enqnirer The voice of those who depre.
Gated such n sectional contest MS fatal in the
ehd to Constitutional Union, was unhepdpd.
Those "f us who supported the election Of
Mr. Fillmore have been denounced as trait
ors to their section. The weakmindrd, the
tlinld, and the expectnnts of popular favor
yielded to this clnm"r. Hence, the large ma
Jorllies for MIR. Buchanan. Thus, the germ
planted for powerful disunion party at no
disiait smy-and when the democracy shall
think fit to raise this fay, it will prevail with.
out scarcely n struggle.
The people Of the North have no iden what
feeling Oi hostility has been lrngendered
among US by their Black Republican fac.
iiOn. Its success in New York gives il
alarming strength. II the next :our years
bring no changes with them-if this faction
shall again renew the war of sections, and
seek To Introduce another Trojan horse into
the citadel of the Union, many If the pres.
ent day will behold the dissolution of that
which our fathers intended to DO perpetual,
and which the sanguiur among us have
hoped 10 leave TO our children at least
The Northern people do not seem 10 realize
that such an eren rs possible They are hiring.
ing 1t about themselves. The Black R"pnbli.
cans Of the North and the disunonisls Of the
South, are close allies. Never before have
these been NO numerous and openm"uthrd as
new. They were nsidous and worked
secretly once. They nov speak their scnti.
ments on our Conrt greens.
