A Temp france Lecture.

bereayes the dotlng mother, extingulsh-
es natural affection, grasses cOnjugal love,
blots out hlial attachments, b!ights pater-
nal hope, and brings down mourning age
in sorrow to the grave. 1t produces
weakness not strength, sickness not
health death not life. 1t makes wives
widows, children orphans, fathers iicnds,
and all of them paupers and beggars. 1t
feeds rheumatism, nurses govt, welcomes
epidenics, invites cholera, imports pes
thence and embraces consumption. 1t
covers the land with idleness, poverty,
disease and crime. 1t fills your jalls,
supplies your aims houses. and deman DIS
your asylums. 1t engenders controve.-
sizes, fosters quarrels, and chcrishes riots
1t crowds your penitcntiarles, and furn.
isbes the victims for your scattolds. 1t
is the life blood Of the gambler, the all!
ment Of the counte-feiter, the prop Of the
h;ghwayman and the support o! the mid.
night incendiary 1t countenances the
liar, respects the thief and cs:eems the
blasphemer 1t violates obi cation, rev.
erences fraud and honors infamy. 1t
defames bcneyolence, hates love, scorns
virtue, ISLANDERS innocence, 1t incites
the father to butcher his helpless off
spring, helps the husband to massacre
his wife, and helps the children to grind
the parricidal axe |: burns up man and
consumes, detests life, curses God and
despises Heaven. 1t suborns witnesses,
nurses perjury, dcfles the jury box and
stains the judicial ermine. L. brides
votes, disqualifes voters, corrupts cleo
tions, pollutes our institutions, and en-
dangers our government. 1t desrades
the citizen, debases the legislator, dis
honors the statesman and disarms the
patriot 1t brings shame rot honor, ter
ror not safety, despair not hope, misery
not happiness. And with the malevo-
lenco of a fend, it calmly surveys its
frightful desolations, and, insulated with
havoc, it poisons felicity, kills peace,
ruins morals, blights confidence, Stays
reputation, and wipes out national honor,
then curses the world and laughs at its
ruin.
There, it docs all that and more. 1t
murders the soul. 1t is the sum of all
villainies; the curse Of all curses; the
devils best friend.
A Beautiful reflection.
Bulwer eloquently says 81 cannot be-
lieve that earth is mans abiding place.
1t can't be that our life is cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float a moment upon
its waves and then sink into nothingncss.
Else, why is it that the glorious appari.
tions, which leap like angels from the
temple of our heart, are forever wander
ing about and unsatisied q? why is it that
the rainbow and clouds come over with a
beauty that is not of this earth, and then
pass off aud leave US to muse upon their
favored lovelncss why is it that the
stars, who hold their festival around the
midnight throne, are set above the grasp
of our limited faculties, forever mocking
US with their unapproachablc glory p
And, finally, why is it that the bri ght
forms of human beauty arc presented to
our view, and then taking from US, leav-
ing the thousand streams of our atfcc-
tions to flow back in Alpine torrents up.
