GO FEEL WHAT I HAVE FELT.

habit of writing for the Philadelphia Ledger, Il
subject OF intemperance- Her writings were full
pafhos and evinced such deep emotion OF SOUL that

subject Of temperance whereupon she wrote the fu
lowing lines
Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what have borne
Sink meath blow father dealt,
And the cold worlds proud scorn;
Then suffer on from year to year
Thy sole relief the scorchiug tear.
Go kneel as have knelt,
Implore, beseech and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt.
The downwsrd course to stay
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defed.
Go weep as have wept
Ger loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youth's sweetness turned to gall;
Life's fading flowers strewn all the way
That brought me up to oman's day.
Go see what i have seen
Behold the strong man bowed,
With gnashing teeth lie bathed in blood,
And cold and Iivid brow;
Go catch his Eithered glance, and see
There miriored his onl's misery.
Go to the mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own desp anguish hide,
Wipe from her cheek the tear,
Mark the worn frame and withered brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
With fading form and trembling limb.
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose phi GIFTED faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who, foresworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup,
And led her down, through love and light,
And all that made her future bright,
And chained her there mid want and strife,
That iow,y thing drunkard's wife;
And stamped on childhood's brows so mild.
That Withering blight the drunkard's child"
Go hear and see, and feel and know.
All that NY SOUL hath felt and known;
Then look upon the wine-cup's glow.
See if it's beauty win atone;
Think fits favor you win try,
When all proclaim, it's drink and dier'

Cook & Sargent's Position.

The proceedings of the mass-meetIng
on the currency question. on Thursday,
occupied 50 mach space in our Fridays
Issue. that we had no room TO comment
upon the reply OF Cook d Sargent to
the resolutions ol the citizens. we
think it one Of the most remarkable

They don't recognize any right IN
the people, who have patiently submit
ted 70. nearly one year to take their
RAGS as currency. We think this con
Germ must increase their quantity OF
bra IS as they decrease their quantity Of
specie.
Last October, at the first meeting
of the Board of Trade, they DID conde-
sceni to say that it should bc retired
in a very short time. In November
Mr.. John +. Cook again assured the
people that it should be retired within
90 days. aud at the time Of our war IN
January and February, they solcmnly
promised that it should be retired las
soon as navigation opened.
Continued promises have been made
from that day to this, that ma eery
short tue, their debts should be paid.
But now after they have Slapped the
community of nearl every drop OF
! lite blood, they do not recO,gn,ze the
riqht, OF Any person even to ask the
question when they would pay these
debts. Merchants who have thrown
away their time and money for the last
10 months to sustain their rag issue,
have no richt to ask when they are to
pet relief. Mechanics who have strug-
pled with their trash, have no right tc
ask the uncstioo. Laborers who can
not buy Il pound Of bread or meat, can
not, Dttsl nat ask the question.

for debtors to say to their creditor:
that they have no right to ask tho
