Down tbe vile (ream of licentioumess what numbers Are urging their way to eternity's shore. Daughter of nation awake from lliy slumbers, Awake! ere tbou fall, to recover no more.

Daughter of nation thy sons are enslaved, Tlii Tyrant infernal hound them in Arise in thy might, let thy children he saved. Expel the dread foe from U.y cities and plains. Daughter of nations'! thr on are degraded, Awake ere they sink where despair ever reigns. Daughter of nations! thy sisters are wailing, The ruin of husbands and sons they deplore; By grievous oppression their sad hearts are quailing, la piteous accents thy help they implore. Daughter of nations thy daughters are faliiny, Awake to their rescue from'pollution' dread power.

Daughter of nations thy dark dens are yawning, Where Imps arc employed to entrap the fair maid, To infamy chained the poor victim goes moaning, Till her complaints in death's silence are flayed. Daughter of nations in grief thou art wailing, While the curse of this evil upon thee is laid. Daughter of nations! the land is in mourning. For hundreds of thousands by lewdness are slain Oh how wretched victims to dust are returning. For cholera follows pollution in train.

Daughter of nations fhe world is in mourning, Ob! lei ul the Judgments of Heaven be vain. Daughter of natians! the morning hath gleamed, The signal for action has ascended the skies Awake to the light that from heaven hath beamed. And flee thy destroyer, where in amhush be lies. Daughter of nations! the war is now waged. And victory from uniform conflict shall rise.

Daughter of nations awake to thy glory, And let thy blest influence he felt the world o'er; Awake! till seduction he known but in story. Resolve and its curse shall oppress thee no more. Daughter of nations! awake to thy glory, Ob Virtue! a Prince, reign thou the world o'er. From the National Gazette. THOMAS S.

Gil PUKE. How many vegetate in early life A worthless herd earth's listless cumherers Born only to censumc her liberal fruits. How many live in pleasure, seeking still To gratify poor self, nor caring aught For good or ill beyond. How many live Only to vex society with crime A multitude, whose errand to our glebe, were hard to scan, save that they 're instruments Wherewith Ih' Almighty doth in anger seourge. And yet they live to tedious old age.

Useless, debased, the doers of foul sins. At once the land's excrescence and its plague. While others, who, to benefit their rare, Spend weary years, give their best energies, And know existence oidy as a mean Of doing good studious and watchful still That this fair world for them may ho the better Who, by sweet kindness, polish, learning, seem To realize the thought of what men are When purified and made as angels Even in the midst of days and usefulness, With all their honors green upon them, Circled by our fond hopes and loves and prayers, Are for our sins called hence. They die And we arc left to weep and wonder bow Such worth and moral beauty could be spared. Of this fair company wast thou Of thoe "Thai build their monument where Virtue builds, Art thou and gathered to thy rest, we deem That thou wast lent us just to show bow blest And lovclr is the life that lives for all.

B7 MISS HiNXAH T. COCt.D. Mother, I have found a tear In your eye! How came it here More are coming now they chase One another down your face. How I feel your bosom heave What dees make you sob and grieve 1 Let me wipe your tears away, Or I cannot go to play. Why is father sleeping so Put me down and let me go Let me go where I can stand Nar enough to reach his hand.

Why it feels as stiff and col.i As a piece of ice, to hold Lift mc up to kiss his cheek Then, perhaps, he '11 wake and speak. Mother, oh-! it is n't he, For he will not look at me Father had n't cheeks white, Sec the lips are fastened light. Father always spake, and smiled, Callin; me his dnrling child He would give and ak a kiss Whet 1 eame but who is this 1 If 't is father, has he done Speaking to his little one Will he never, never more Know and love me as before Could he hear whit we have said Tell me, what i being dead OH he does n't hreaibo a breath Mother, hdl the cause of death ON A YOUNG COUPLE. Happy the youth who finds a bride. In sprightly days of health and ease, Whose temper to bis own allied.

No knowledge knows but t.ow to please. A thousand sweets their days attend, A thtttiuintl comfort ri amend. Here hushaud, parent, wife, and friend, In every dearest sense is found. Yet think not, man, 'midst scenes so gay. That clouds and storms will ne er rise A cloud may dim the lrihlest day.

And storms disturb the calmest skies. The lights and shades, the goods and ills. Thus finely blended in their slate, To sweet submission bow their wills. And make them happy in their state. From the Sabbath School Instructed SLAVE CHILDREN'S PRAYER.

Hear our prayer, most In ly Father! While we raise our voice to thee Afric's children thou canst 'alber la thy make theoi free. Come, we pray thee, near, pd bless us We are weak and helpless now For thy ttrrantt. Lord, distrt-ss us. When we would hefore thee bow. Creak oar chains, win.

a we are calling Humbly on thy hoi name; Blay lb to earth be falling. Not ypo a bom-iu frame. May the man see his error Seek forgiveness ere too late Nor the Afric shrink with terror. As be learns his cruel fate. Come, greet father, and he near as la this trial hour, we pray 'And id lovs aod nvercy bear Hear, aod kiaaly bless to-day.

I MISCELLANEOUS. MATRIMONIAL COMFORTS. A friend, who has been much in the babit of indulging in praises of the domestic fireside, and the satisfaction a father experiences at witnessing the innocent gambols of a group of happy children, has had lite equanimity of his temper somewhat ruffled by a succession of mishaps, that has considerably lessened his admiration of family blessings. Dick, his eldest boy, an urchin of some five or six years of age, a few weeks since undertook to exercise his skill on the now and arrow, in the parlor. "See," said the boy, pointing to a superb vase, setting within a glass shade on tlifl mantle piece, see how straight, papa and with the speed of an arrow, the mark wn3 hit with a precision that certainly would ave done credit to a more experienced marksman, and with just that necessary degree of force requisite to topple the article down.

It fell upon the hearth with a violence that scattered the shivered faementa in every direction. Tho little fellow, who did the mischief so very imoccntly, saved himself from a sound flogging by slipping in his fright upon the floor, and receiving several severe wounds in his face from the broken glas. The blood streaming from the cots, and mingling with the tears upon his sorrowful little countenance, of course entirely disarmed the anger of the parent. Several other similar accidents have occur red in the same family, sufficient in their waste of valuables, to make even a very fond father shrug his shoulders. The climax fbl- lowod one day in the latter part of last week, when Joe.

a vounsrer brother of the marks man, somehow got into the parlor, and as the shutters were closed, commenced reconnoi-tering the premises in the dark. The women-folks up stairs were snon startled by a loud crash and a shriek. A centre table, of finemnrble and exquisite workmanship, upon which stood a pair of costly lamps with magnificent shades, occupied the floor; by dint of clambering upon stools and chairs, the little fellow succeeded in reaching the top, from no other conceivable motive than a sheer love of mischief or adventure. Joe is a perfect fac 6imile, in miniature, of the far famed Daniel Lambert, and his weight soon capsized the centre table, bringing it, with the contents, including the lamps and all the oil, down upon the new' carpet, and little -Joe sprawling beneath the "wreck of matter," so great a Sufferer by the fall as to put flogging or scolding out of-the question. This ends the father's list of grievances for the present: what they mav terminate in, he fears to look npon and we apprehend, if these little matters should chance to go on from bad to worse, he may get soured with matrimonial comforts, and begin to think less than he has done of the joys and delights of a rising famiJv, and of his group of merry boys.

The Gale of the 16th September was attended with fatal consequences to many of the inhabitants on the seaboard.

Of fifty-two persons residing in one settle ment on the Mermentau, some six or eight miles from the Ocean, no less than twenty-fivo were drowned. The swells in the river have seldom been known to exceed three or four feet above high water: but on this occasion the inundation, caused by an inroad of the sea, was more than fifteen feet, carrying destruction ta all before it. Some of the inhabitants sought safety in the tops of the largest trees, hoping to escape the immediate destruction of the water but these hopes were of short duration, for the traes were uniformly prostrated by the wind, and the unfortunate people buried in the very element they had attempted to escape.

SI. Sebastian and the Sentinel. As the image Saint Sebastian was one da' carried in procession through the street? of Augusta, the rabble remarking that one of the English sentinels neglected to present his arms as the saint approached, vociferated to him loudly to pay the usual compliment The poor man rinding himself surrounded, and abused on all sides, not understanding a word of Italian, and seeing the bye-standcrs point -rith vehement gestures to the statue, which was moving down the street on a large stage, calling out to him at the same time in bad English, 'Rascal, imagined in his confusion that the saint was the rascal, and' that the populace had brought him there' for the purpose of being shot. Afraid to contest the point with so r.ianv hundreds, he levelled his piece, and in an instant sent a musket ball through his body, for which heretical action he would inevitably have been torn to pieces by the pious mob, had not the guard, which had been sta tioned near the spot, alarmed at the report, arrived in time to rescue hitn Irom their hands. SL horenzo and the.

Old Woman. When I was in Modica, a priest gave me a laughable instance of the credulity of the lower orders. A woman in comfortable circumstances had an only son, of whom she was so fond, that she could not rest for desire of knowing in what manner he was to die. To learn this, she every day attended in the church to which my narrator belonged, and kneeling at the shrine of St. Lorenzo made lonj and fervent orations, begging him to enlighten heron the wished-for point, always concluding with, 'Blessed St.

Lorenzo, inform me of what death my son is to For a long time, as may well be supposed, she got no answer; but her constant visits and invariable prayer, with the necessity of being daily obliged to remind her that it was time'to shut the church, at length wore out the patience of the sexton. lie wailed, however, till passion week, daring which it is customary to veil the images. When the good lady made her tisual appearance, he hid himself behind the curtain which concealed tha figure, and on the wonted supplication of 4 Blessed St. Lorenzo, inform mc of what death my son is to die instantly replied in a hollow solemn tone, 4Impiso, in English, 4 he wiilbe 4 said the indignant mother, rising from her knees, not at all astonished at the miracle, or grateful for the gracious condescension of the saint, 4 you rascal, it was for that tongue of yours you were roasted Whilst speaking of San Lorenzo, I must take the opportunity of remarking, that, with some Cathoiics, it is a matter of doubt whether he be saved or not, having been guilty of the sin of presumption when undergoing martyrdom. Whilst on the gridiron on which he suffered and his executioners were Tanning the fire, and pulling him about with redhot pincers, he very composedly, though I apprehend not very coolly, observed.

The Chairman of the Executive Committee of the New-York State Temperance Society, on his return from the great Temperance Convention recently held in Virginia, obtained (ssys the American) the following important testimony. Each of the distinguished gentlemen who have given the their opinion on a vastly important subject, expressed warm and hearty good wishes for the success of the Temperance cause. satisfied from observation and ex perience, as well as from medical testimony, that ardent spirit as a drink is not only ueed-less, but hurtful, and that the entire disuse of it would tend to promote the health, the virtue and the happiness of the community, we hereby express our conviction, that would the citizens of the United States, and espe cially all voting men, discontinue the use of it, they would not only promote their own personal benefit, but the good of their country and the world.

Christian Rfgister. Deaths among the Beggars of Canton. The number of beggars, time out of mind, in Canton, has been very great but during the past winter, and chiefly in consequence of the which occurred last summer, both their number and their distresses have been greatly multiplied. We have sought in vain for the means of making a satisfactory estimate of the number in and about the city at the present time judging from what we have seen, we think it cannot be less than 5000, and it may be even twice that number. In ordinary times, only.

a few are left to famish and die in the streets, but during the rainy months of the current year, many hundreds have perished for want of food and raiment. Clevelaxd, (Ohio,) Nov. 13. fortunate The 6tage which left this place for Columbus on Monday evening last, in descending a hill in Brooklyn, about five miles south of this village, the night being very dark, ran off the road, and rolled down the steep bank, probably 50 or. GO feet, making several somersets, and dragging horses, driver and all, alcng with it, and finally lodging in one promiscuous heap at the bottom.

There were six passengers, among them were a lady and child, all of whom, with the driver and horses, escaped without the slightest injury. Very trifling damage was done to the coach, i. This is one of the most extraordinary escapes ever heard of. CosnMPTioT of Food i.xLoivdo. The annual consumption of oxen in London, is calves, 50,000: sheep, lambs, hogs and pigs, the total value of butcher's meat consumed in the year is estimated at 8,500,0001.

There are cargoes of fish, of 40 tons each, brought annually to Billingsgate, besides 20,000 tons by land carriage; 1,000,000 quarters of wheat, about 60.0001. in value of poultry; lbs. of butter 23,000,000 lbs. of cheese vegetables and spirits to the value of 2,000,000 barrels of ale and porter, of JO gallons each 11,000,000 gallons of spirits and compounds; 03,000 pipa of wine; and 7,900,000 gallons of milk, the produe'e of cows, are annually consumed. At the great Birmingham Musical Festival, which was to take place in the beginning of October, prodigious effect to the instrumental band was anticipated from the introduction of a new instrument, hitherto unknown in England, called the contra-bass Ophicleule or keyed Strpent.

It is of brass, splendid in appearance, and the prodigious length of 14 feet, copied, probably, from our American sea serpent. In compass it descends lower than any instrument hitherto known, and its tones have great variety from mellow smoothness to terrific power. It supplies what was a desideratum, a powerful bass, making its invention an era in music. Vert Like.

Destructive Fires. The Frankfort Post Amt Gazette has the following of the 19th from Falkenstera, a town of Germany, in the upper Rhine: 'Yesterday afire broke out at Averbach, in Saxton which in the course of six hours, almost the entire town was laid in ashes.

Among the houses destroyed were several large and fine build ings, besides the Church, the Parsonage, the School-house, the Town-hall, the Post-office, and the residences ot the Public Authorities. The number of houses burnt is about 200, and it is calculated that 2,000 persons are sufferers by this calamitous event.

Tremendous Smyrna papers, received at New-York, bring information of a terrible conflagration which took place on the night of the Cth September, at Aidin, a city of Asia Minor. The fire caught by accident, in a barber' shop. It commenced at midnight, and continued to rage until after Beven in the morning. The damage occasioned by this terrible catastrophe amounts to several millions. Ten thousand shops were reduced to ashes, with the greater part of the merchandize they contained.

Peris, Oct. 22. Last year, a Polish gentleman having caught a stork upon his estate, near Lembergj put round its neck an iron collar with the inscription, Ifac ciconia ex Polonia (this stork comes from Poland,) and-set it at liberty. This year the bird returned to the same spot and was again caught by the same person. It had acquired a new collar of gold, with the inscription, India cum donis remiltit cieoniam Polonis (India sends back the stork to the Poles with gifts.) The gentleman, after having shown the inscription to his neighbors, again set the bird at liberty.

'ho. the Poor The magnanimous State of Georgia is pushing the war vigorously against the poor defenceless Indians in her limits. The Governor, in a late message to the Legislature, proposes to render it penal for any citizen of the State to give counsel or aid to the Indians, or to bring any question, touching their rights, before any tribunal of the State, 'or of the United Why this is downright, absolute barbarism, which would shame even the dark ages. An iron suspension bridge has been constructed at Friburg, Switzerland, over a ravine ISO feet deep.

Rom. Ah! no evasion of Scripture to help out a mushroom church The Roman Catholic gives the words their literal sense. However against your reason it may seem, the passage teaches our doctrine of transubstantiation. This is my body. Admit the literal sense.

Take the Savior as he says. Pr. What, the literal sense exactly Rom, Pr. Well; this, then, literally, means what Christ was holding in his hand not what the Romanisthas handled since. This the bread our Savior was then breaking it my body.

I know there are two ways of interpreting language, an honest way and a dishonest way. One is to take a speaker as he means, another as he says. The first ia the Protestant rule. You reject that and profess to construe to the letter.

Jl Royal Papist versus Popery. Don Pedro, in his very interesting speeeh before the extraordinary cortea of Portugal in August last, gives the following emphatic testimony to the unhallowed spirit of popish priests of Portugal during the recent civil war. Presbyterian, In the pulpits (I shudder to say it, but you know, and every body knows, that I say the truth) in the pulpits in the face of the holy altars in the midst of sacred and au gust mysteries, the ministers of the God of peace and charity preached assassination as a service done to religion, and announced to the astonished people a new gospel of persecution, blood and death. In stating his reasons for the suppression of popish religious houses, the establishment of which in our own country, the Roman Catholics are so zealously attempting, he reveals another secret, which is worthy of observation, although not very creditable to the piety, which is said to be fostered in these religious houses. 'Lastly, all the families and associations of the religious of every denomination and order have been suppressed.

These establishments, considered with respect to religion, were totally alienated from the primitive spirit of their institution, and almost exclusively governed by the love of temporal and worldly interests which they professed to despise and considered in a political point of view, they were like demoralized bodies, indifferent to the good or bad fortune of their fellow-citizens, and zealously serving a despotic or tyrannic government, if they expected from it favor or consideration. To their influence over individuals and families, which was the more dangerous in proportion as it was secret, Portugal owes in a great degree the evils which it has justexperieaced.
