 INHERITANCE. Wouldst thou know the ills Intemperance brings But no! its curse no man can tell; Round all it breathes upon, it filings
 The fiery atmosphere of hell. The drunkards path this is its mark;
 Methinks 'tis wet with orphans tears, Cory with human blood and, hark
 Tis vocal with the orphans fears See the proud youth of form erect,
 And does he think that he shall fall! But lol that dazzling intellect
 Is dimmed Intemperance ruins all. Come, view the gray-haired prisoner there, Chained low within the prison wall A murderers bed is this his share? Fen so Intemperance ruins all. Then shun, o shun the fiery cup,
 Lose not the image of thy God, Break of those chains while yet there's hope, o travel not the drunkard's road Dost thou not scorn to be slave?
 For this is Slaverys lowest link, It leads thee to drunkard's grave; Then, noble youth, just stop and think. Think of the wine-cup's bitter woes, And free thy spirit from it's snare; For like mighty stream it flows Onward and downward to despair. MARY.

down into flats and sharps. The octaves wers
 distinguished by degrees of intensity in the same
 shade. The plan was so to construct the instru
 ment that upon striking given key band of z color corresponding to such key should appear
 and the inventor maintaining that as the pleas
 ures of the sight greatly exceeded those of the
 hearing, by so much would the pleasure of music
 be increased. Written music was to be per
 petual concert. You may conceive, says he
 what spectacle will be exhibited by room GOV. cred with rgadoons and minuets, sonatas and cantatas here the eye will contemplate the mu. sic at pleasure, will see the concert, the contras:: of all the parts. The worthy Father supposed that he had discovered natural affinity between the notes and colors which his Harpischotd would represent. Green, he says, which cores ponds to re will no doubt show that the tone re is rural, agreeable and pastoral. But enough of theories and experiments as to the actual effect of colors we know that their experience greatly adds to our pleasure, so much so that it may be contended with plausibility that their final cause is mans pleasure We may puzzle ourselves in vain to discern principle by which given ob- ject absorbs all colors but that with which it would bedeck itself. We may wonder by what rule the rose takes for it's leaves a solemn dress of green, and for it's short-lived flower searches out the fairest tints the light conceals till it is sweeter than the lids of Juno's eye"
 Flower and leaf growing from the same stem, born of the same germ, nourished by the same soil, caressed by the same breezes, yet extracting from them beauties so dissimilar, truly it is a perpetual miracle.
 To no one can knowledge of colors come by description, with the exceptions already noted after sufficient familiarity impressions are made upon the mind which enable us correctly and in- stantly to distinguish them. From which it fol- lows that, although they speak an universal lan- guage, taste for them may be cultivated which will insure increased aptitude for their enjoy ment. So long then as there are in nature SO many glorious objects for such developed taste to feast itself upon, now flashing upon us from the clouds, now stealing upon us in modest flow CTS, tender mosses so cunningly tinted as to defy the keenest observation, and the painted leaves of brave old autumn's wearing" surely encour- agement to such cultivation can not be wanting.
 We feel bound in common fairness to add that the subject in hand had led us far from the pro- posed end, before we were aware of it, and fur ther, that it will not be continued in the New York Ledger. L.
