Wit and Tempefance.

In Pennsylvania there is Clergyman al
most as remarkable for e!oquence and &c
centricity as Lorenzo Dow himself On
charity occasions his pathos, wit, and some
times bitter satire, are sure to win more
bank notes and gold coin to the state than
the decorous eloquence of half dozen men.
On late occasion he was preaching a
temperance sermon, which produced the usu-
al effect upon the audience. Among other
things he asserted. as the result of his own
observation, that confessed " moderate
drinker' was. sure to BECOME a confirmed
inebriate within five years after he reached
that state of indulgence.
He was interrupted here by man in the
audience, who started up in great excite
ment, proclaiming himself Moderate
drinker' of ten years standing, and on whom
the habit had made no progrcss.
The clergyman stopped short, and leaned
over the pulpit, and when the man had
ceased speaking, called out,
Il say, friend, stand up here, and let ME
have look at you
The man made an effprt to have the host
of eyes turned upon him, and stood his
ground.
Nearer, mani cried the minister, beck
oniug with his long finger Hold light
up to the brothers face, some of you. Step
up on the bench and give us a good look -
The moderate d.inker VA, not to be
looked or talked down; he not only mount
ed the bench, but allowed lamp to be held
close to his face
The minister bent over his cushion and
gave the face long survey.
That will dos said he drawing back.
that will do my friend And now | say.
if owed the devil debt of a hundred
drunkards, and had paid him ninety nine
and he couldn't take you in tull payment at
the end of five years,I would never pay
him.

The Ruins of Time.

Time in his onward course Is ever fash.
ioning decay, ever moulding desolation.
When we look about US, we receive such re.
peated intimations OF the universal decae
| going on in the natural world, that we can
almost imagine that we hear the tramp of
Time, and in fancy catch The sound of uni
versal wasting.
The mountain, towering emblem of
strength and changelessness, which for cen
turies withstood the buffetings of storms
and rempests, is slowly mouldering away,
and filling the valley at its base, which has
been swept by u myriad of gales The rocks
are daily crumbing to the dust, and the
trees sink in ruins. All nature indeed
grows old ard dies
The finest works of man, too, are gradual
iy giving away, whether the peasants how
ei, or the monarchs palace they all yield
to times destructive hand. The lofty pal
ace, that once reared its massive propor.
tions in matchless splendor, already bears
evidence of decay. The halls that once
We're crowded with al that art aud science
could procure, have lost their grandeur.
Their works of art have vanished from
sight. The ivy clings in mourn ul gresn to
the mouideriug tower, the moss IN gloomy
decay mantleS the shattered rocf One by
one the strong pillars b,w FROM age beneath
their burdens, I'LL at length hall and court,
corridor and turret, lie IN inanimate ruins.
In thus wandering among the ruins of
the past, how strongly We are impressed
with the mutaLiiity of human gradeur;
with the Inconsistency Of earthly affairs
Mighty nations have arisen, they have held
sway through many years, rising in power
and magnticence, and eliciting the admlra
ton of the world. They tiourished, but
were doomed to decay. Thebes and Car
thage are now no more. The pyramids of
Egypt, the ruins of Thebes, are but the me,
mentoes Of the power and grandeur of races
that have long siuce become extinct. Trey,
lofty Troy, which neither the combined
+, >es of Greeks nor thousand vessels
could u hdue, has fallen from her pinnacle of
;me. and sC.r streets are silent aud desert.
ed Greece, once he light ofthe world, and
Rome. ONE the terrur at all nations, have
lost their lustrs and power. Time has dim
med their ancient glory The Jays of their
splendor are remembered oaly In song.
Thus the greatest powea and proudest
hope ultimately perish Every Greeze that
sighs in the passing air watts to u The
gloomy tidings of decay, and sings with the
poet
From all save that Ger which the soul
bears sway,
There breaths but one recCrd-nassing a.
way
Every billow that disturbs the Tranquil
deep rolls on the same mournful tale, which
it will cease to tell only when il shall break
on the distant shores of eternity

One of the hanasomest and best dressed
gentlemen in the city, says the New { rleans
Rcay"He, is a worthy merchant, whose
great personal care of himself and his addic
ton to fine living have procured him ro
tundity which. while it detracts nothing
from his good looks, utterly conceals from
his own Inspection his extre mites. The
circumstance was on Friday morning the oc
casIon of, to him, mortifying exposure
whilst others looked upon it as an amusing
spectacle. Before breakfast he invariably
takes Ii. .nrning walk, and his urbanty and
note recognition are looked for by early
pedestr,. MS with pleasure. Dressing him
self, therefore, with great care, he sailed
out, but strange 10 say, every one he met
turned their heads and laughed, and some
ladies' from the gallery of residence over
the way ran screaming into the house. AT
last he met little boy whose immodeiate
laugh ghter drew from him the indignant ipqui-
ry: What do you see about me, you little
scoundreI, that everybody laughs at?"
''W by, Mr.. D., you We forgot to put your
PANTS on. Overwhelmed with shame, the
old gentleman hurried home and eagerly
sought the mirror In his haste he had
carefully adjusted his attire, but had, indeed
forgot his pants.

PUr THAT RASCAL our-wb;,e rho 90,

PUT THAT RASCAL OUT.-While the con.
gregation were assembled at church, on a
certain occasion, an old, hard featured. skin
| and bone individual was vending his way
up the aisle, and taking his seat near the
pulpit. The officiating minister was one oi
that ciasss who detested written sermons.
and as for prayers be thought they ought to
be the natural outpouriugs of the heart.
Alter singing was concluded, they were, as
usual, called TO prayer. The genius we have
introduced did not kneel, but leaned his
head devo,ionally upon the pew. The min
ister began by saying:
Father of ALL in every age by saint and
savage adored-"
''Pope!'' said low but clear voice near
old hard features.
The minister, after casting an indignant
look in the direction Of the voice CON
tinued
Whose throne stitch on the adaman-
tine hills of paradise
''Milton!" again interrupted the same
voice.
The minister's lip quivered for moment,
but recovering himself began:
We thank thee, most gracious Father,
that we are permitted once more to assem-
bic in Thy maine, while others, equally mer
ltorious, but less favored have been carried
beyond that bourne from which no traveller
returns"
Shakespeare again interrupted the
voice.
This was too much. ''Put that impudent
rascal out, )" shouted the minister
Original y calculated the voice, in the
same calm. but provoking manner

An exchange says In these days when
diseases OF the throat prevail, and particu
larry dry, hacking cough, which is not on
iy distressing to ourselves but to those with
whom we are brought into business con
tact, those thus afflicted may be benefited b,
trying the following remedy: Last fall we
were induced to try what virtue there was
in common salt. We commenced by using
it three times day--morning, noon and
night. We dissolved large Tablespoonful
of common salt in about half a tumbler OF
cold ~ater, and with this we garged the
throat most effectually jnst before meal time
The result has been that during the winter
we were not only free from the usual coughs
and colds to which, as far as oug memory
extends, we have always been subject, but
the dry, hacking cough has entirely disap-
peured We attribute it entirely to the salt
gargle, and do most cordially recommend it
to those OF our readers who are subject to
diseases OF the throat.

rhc name of the illu>trious Benjamin
franklin has grown great in eilc ricity. His
mind was of peculiar cast that recalled the
vigorous simplicity OF :he Greeks. He was
a modern Solon, speculative Thales. He
had wandered away from Boston printers
apprcntice, and had found employment and
success in Philadelphia. From his parents
he had received o inheritance except the
nobiest-a spotiess example, healthtul con
stitution, sane mind aud after a vigorous
struggle and several failures tie philosophic
printer had won the respect and attention of
his fellow townsmen. He founded schools,
libraries, and various useful institutions in
his adopted home, and at forty-fve had be-
come one of its most useful citizens Still
Franklin lived obscure except to his narrow
world, and his eminent powers had won him
no general renown He had, perhaps, pleas
ed himself in his youth With the hope of
exceiing in letters he had formed his style
by careful study Of Addison; he wiote
clear and sensible essays that showed the
purity of his taste aud the weakness of his
fancy and yet in literature be had been far
excelled in notoriety, If not in fame, by his
unprincpled companion Ralph. Franklin's
rare humor. the wit of philosopher, shines
out in his Busy body, his Almanac,
his ''Ephemera, - or his famous Whistle"
he uttered keen apothcgmS that live like
those of Solon, and sharp satires that want
the bitter hope lessnesS OF Diogenes. But
his literature scarcely possessed the shining
mark of genius, and was plain, cold, and
litsless He was an excellent writer, but he
was never great His genius, ike Bacon 5,
lay in his power of swift induction from
moral or physical facts. In morals he was
the wisest of his contemporaries. He taught
Young mechanics that time is money"
that credit is money, that purity honesty
and self-respect were better than wealth,
luxury, or any other success. His own la
bors were unceasing; he wrote, toiled and
thought necessarily for his fellow men, He
wa. noted and observed for his modesty and
discretion; his cute mind was ever seeking
for useful novelty in science and in conduct.
and hence hen Franklin came to stand be-
fore mankind, covered with his splendid
scientific renown, and the representative of
the new republic that seemed about to re-
vive the classic refinement of better age,
he was received in the courts of Europe as
worthy successor of Athens and Ionia.
As Washington appeared before the world
clothed in the purity, the probity, the valor
of Fabricius or a Cato. SO Franklin was
universally compared with the acute sages
and philosophers of Greece. To Franklin
electricity owed the most wonderful of all
its achievements in the eighteenth century.
