The Labesc'
BY WIN. D. aALEsep. :.

Stand up-srectl Thsu hssc 4ae form,
And likeness of thy Gcdl vino wore
A soul as dauntless mid tta stOsla
Of daily life a heart as vsssss
And pnre as breast e'sr vDeo.
What then Thou &c 50 f1aa 4 man
AS mopes the human mass among;
As much a part of the great plan
That with Creations dawn began,
As any of the throng.
Who is thine enemy? the high
In station or in wealth the chief2
The great, who coldly pass thee by,
With proud step and averted eye,
Nay nurse not such belief.
If true unto thysslf thou vast,
What were the proud ones scorn to thee
A feather which thou mightest cast.
Aside, as idly as the blast
The light leaf from the tree.
No-uncurb'd passions, low desires,
Absence of noble selfrespect,
Death, in the breasts consuming fires,
To that high nature which aspires
Forever, till thus checked.
These are thine enemies--the worst;
They chain thee to thy lowly lot,
Thy labor and thy life accursed,
O, stand erect? and from them burst!
And longer suffer mott
Thou art thyself thine enemy!
The great what better than thou?
As theirs, is not thy will as free
Has God with equal favors thee
Neglected to endow?
True wealth thou hast motifs dust
Nor place-uneertain as the wind!
But that thou hast, which with thy crust
And water. may despise the last,
Of both a noble mind.
With this, and passions under ban,
True faith and holy trust in God,
Thou art the peer of any man.
Look up then: that thy little span
Oflife may well be trod

| My DEAR Sir IL thank you for sending me
| your Lecture on the Influence of Christianity
upon Government. have read it with great
interest, md not without a sincere acknowl-
edgement of one passage. ! am reioiced to
find that the subject is taken up by the young
] er files OF our legion.

merely TO declaim about the influence of re-

& Profane swearing.

Rev. E. II. Chaplin, the celebrated Uni
versalist preacher, thus alludes to profane
SWEARING in one of his discourses on the
| LORDS Prayer:
II We would use the prayer sincerely, we
must hallow Gods name upon our lips. Ii
will never be light word there. Ii will
never drop out IN jest, or ring in blasphemy.
wish to touch this point earnestly. |
wouidspsak strongly against the common
sin oil profaneness. Are there any before
me who are accustomed to use Gods name
az an expsetiye and to handy il as byword?
ho employ IL in all kinds of conversations
and throw it about in every place? Perhaps
in their hearts, they consider this habit MS an
accomplishment think it manly and brave
to swear Let me say, then, that profane-
ness - brutal vice. He who INDUCES in
1t Is no gentleman. | care not what his
stamp may be in society. | care not what
clothes he wears, or what culture he boasts.
Despite all his refinement, the light and
habitual taking of Gods name, be,rays u
coarse nature, and a brutal will. Nav. he
facility admits that he is ungentlemanly. lie
Restraints his oaths in the presence Of ladies;
anu nc who fears not to rush into the chance
~ OF heaven and swear by the Majesty
there, 10 decently observsnt in the drawing
room and the parlor. Bat, again, profane-
ness IS an unmanly and silly vice. IL GER
tainly Is not grace in conversation, and it
adds no strength to it. There is no organic
symmetry in the narrative that is ingruined
with onshs and the blasphemy that holsters
an opinion does not make il any more cor
rect. Our mother English has variety
enough to make story sparkle, and TO give
point to wit 1t has toughness enough and
vehemence enough to furnish the sinews for
debate and TO drive home conviction, with
out degrading the holy epi,het of Jehovah.
Nay, the use Of these explosives, argues a
limited range OF ideas, and a consciousness
OF being on the wrong side. And, if we can
flnd no other phrases through which to vent
our choking passion, we had better repress
that passion. And, again, profaneness is a
mean vice. According to general estima-
non he who repays kindness with contumely,
no who abuses his friend and benefactor, is
deemed pitlfnl and wretched. And vet, oh
profane man whose name is it you handle
so lightly IT that of your best benefac-
tor You, whose blood would boil to hear
the venerable names Of your earthly parents
hurled about in SCOTS and tests, abuse
without conjunction and without thought
the name OF your heavenly Father Finally,
protaneness is an awful vice. Once more
ask, whose name is it YOU SO lightly use p
The name of God! Have YOU ever non.
dered its meaning Have you ever thought
what II is that you mnglc thus with yeur
/ passion and your witt 1t is the name OF
! HIN whom the angels worship, and whom
the heaven of heavens cannot contain.

sensible remark
"We presume no man Of even tolerable
