IT ENDS IN SMoKE.-The Editor of
Independence Guardian found a stray
pipe on his table, and thercupon abused
it in unmcasured terms. Hold there
friend! despite dyspepsia hypochondria,
indigestion, burned clothes, fetid breaths,
yellow cuticle, snd thousand other evils
which flow from smoking, a pipe has its
use;but what those uses are, an expert
encc of fifteen years in the business is
not ablo to inform US. We know this
much, that when tho habit is once FORM
ed it is difficult to subdue as the Rebel
lion. 1t is an imperious master. You
may form noble resolution to quit,
and it will probably last until you eat
your dinner. A fulness of stomach will
bring back your old craving for . smoke.
You resist that feeling until resistance
becomes misery You wander about
like ghosht in the halls Of some baro-
nial shanty. In your extremity, you
may swear by the Tomb of Mahomet that
you arc forever divorced from the filthy
weed; and fifteen minutes from the time
you take this self administered oath, you
will be found with q pipe stem dangling
between youg teeth, and the smoke will
curl proudly from your mouth, rolling in
fantastic circles round the room! Reso.
luton is thing Of straw in tho hands Of
IN overmastering appetite. The only
safety, therefore, is never forming the
habit. Happy is the young man who 70.

Intemperance.

Young men, read the following article
on intemperance, and ponder we'll the eff.
fects of tho use of ardent spirits. No
good can result from the use Of liquor
No healthy man needs any stimulus, and
should avoid the use of rum as he would
deadly poison.
Its march of ruin is onward. It reach.
es abroad to others, and spreads voc and
sorrow on all around. 1t cuts down the
youth in its vigor, manhood in its
strength aud age in its weakness. 1t
breaks the fathers heart, bereaves the
doating mother, extinguishes natural af-
fcction, erases conjugal love, blots out
filial attachment, blights every hope and
brings down mourning age Sin sorrow to
the grave" 1t produces weakness, not
strength, sickness, not health, death, not
life 1t makes wives widows, children
orphans, fathers tiends, aud all Of them
paupers and beggars. 1t halls fevers,
feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, imparts
pestilence and embraces consumption
1t covers the land with idleness, poverty,
disease and crime 1t fills your jails,
supplies your almshouses, and crowds
your asylum. 1t engenders controver.
sizes, spurns order, and loves mo5s. 1t
crowds your penitentiaries, aud furnish.
es victims for your scaffold. 1t is the
life blood of the gambler, the aliment of
the counterfeiter, the prop of the high
wayman, and the support of the incendi-
ary.
It countenances the liar, respects the
thief and esteems the blasphcmer. It
violates obligations, reverences fraud,
and honors infamy. 1t defames benevo.
lence, hates love, scorns virtue, and
SANDERS innocence. It incites the faith
er to murder his offspring, helps the
husband to massacre his wife, and aids
the child to grind the paracidal axe. It
burns up man, consumes woman, detests
life, curses God, and despises Heaven.
1t suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, de.
6lcs the jury box, aud stains the judicial
srlnine. ltbribes votes, disqualifes vo-
tiers, corrupts elections, pollutcs our
institutions and endangers our govern
ment. It degrades the citizens, debases
the Legislators, dishonors the statesman,
disarms the patriot. II brings shame,
not honor, terror not safety, despair not
hope, misery not happiness.
And now, as with the malevolence of
6end, it calmly surveys its frightful
desolations, and insatiate with havoc it
poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals,
blights confidence, Stays reputition, and
wipes out our national honor, then
brushes the world, and laughs At its ruin.

Woman's Sympathy for our Soldiers.

There is touching pathos in some
of the markers attached to the blankets,
shirts, handkerchefs, and the like, sent
to the Sanitary Commission for the sol
diers in camp and hospital. Thus on q
bed quilt was pinned card having this
tender inscription: "My son is in the
army; whoever is made warm by this
quilt which l have worked on for six
days and most all Of six nights, let him
remember his own mothers love- Who
can doubt that these simple words have
made some weak one strong again, filled
some sad heart with JOY and hope? On
pillow sent to the commission was writ.
ten: "This pillow belonged to my little
boy, who died resting on it; it is pre-
cious treasure to me, but | give it to the

was this inscriptions: "Made in sick
room, where the sunlight has not entered
for nine years, but whore God has enter
ed, and where two sons have bid their
mother good bye as they have gone to
the war" What spirit of sacrifice and
sanity hcroism shines through this little
sentence; sunshine, joy, sympathy, COM

giving tender greeting to the camp fire
and tho hospital But the tendersst Of

BY JOHN 9. WHITTIER.
It is done!
Clang of bell and roar Of gun
Send the tidings up and down.
How the belfries rock and reel,
How the great gun. peal on peal,
Fling the joys from town to town!
Ring, o bells!
Every stroke exulting tells
Ofth burial hour Of crime.
Loud and long, that all may hear,
Ring for every listening ear,
or Eternity and time.
Let us kneel!
Gods own voice is in that peal,
And this spot is holy ground.
Lord, forgive us! What are We,
That our eyes this glory see,
That our ears have heard the souAds
For the Lord
On the whirlwind is abroad;
In the earthquake He has spoken;
He has smitten with His thunder
The iron walls aSunder.
And the gates of brass are broken!
Loud and long,
Lift the old exulting song;
Sing with Miriam by the sea:
He bath cast the mighty down;
Horse and rider sink and drown;
He hath triumphed gloriously!
Did we dare
In our agony of prayer
Ask for more than He has done?
When was ever his right hand
Over any time or land
Stretched as now beneath the sun!
How they pale,
Ancient myth, and-song, and tale,
In this wonder of our days,
When the cruel rod of war
Blossoms white with righteous law,
And the wrath of man is praise!
Blotted out!
All within and all about
Shall fresher life begin;
Freer breathe the universe
AS it rolls its heavy curse
On the dead and heavy sin!
1t 10 done!
In the circuit Of the sun
Shall the sound thereof SO forth.
1t shall bid the sad rejoice,
1t shall give the dumb voice,
1t shall belt with joy the earth!
Ring and swing
Bells of joy! on mornings wing
Send the song OF praise abroad;
With q sound Of broken chains
Tell the nations that He reigns
Who alone 10 Lord and God!
