DR. CHAN.VING ON Alusic—This distin­guished writer lately delivered an addresson the subject of intemperance in which he maintains that if sources of pure and enno­bling enjoyment were-every where made free of access, temptation to evil would be

'less frequent and less powerful. The follow­ing beautiful extract is on the enjoyment de­rived from music—Catakill Ree.

" I have said people should be guarded against temptation to unlawful pleasures by furnishing the means of innocent ones. By innocent pleasures I mean such as to excite moderately, such as produce a .cheerful frame of the mind, not boisterous mirth; such as refresh, instead of exhausting the system; such as recur frequently, rather than continue long; such as send us back to our daily duties ip body and. in spirit ;— snch as we can partake in the society of re­spectable friends; such, as consist with and are favorable to a grateful piety; such as are chastened by self respect and are accompa­nied with the Consciousness, that life has a higher end than to be amused. In every community there,must be pleasures,,relaxa­tion, the means of agreeable excitemept, if innocent ones are oof furnished, resort will be had to' criminal. Man was made to en­joy as well as to labor, arid the state of soci­ety-should be adequate to the1 "principle pf human nature. • ' '

" France, especially before the Revolu tion, has been represented a singularly tern-perate country, a fact to be explained, at least in part, by the constitutional cheerful­ness of that people, and By the- prevalence of simple_and jinoeppt ^apeMogjij espe­cially among'lMpe0>anj^V/,|^j^rink to excess yery often to shake off;a|pi»ssidn, or to satisfy a restfess thirst for .agrfcfable ex­citement and these ^njoUves atp excluded in a cheerful^mgr/iiy. >,

again—the streams will flow gracefully and lightly as before—the'tfeei will again toss their cumbrous' load of gfeepness to the sunlight—and, by mossy stone and'winding rivulet,-the young blossoms will start up, as at the bidding of their'tfairy guardians. But the human heart has no' change like that of Nature. It has no second Spring-time.— Once blighted in its hour of freshness, it wears'forever the mark of' the spoiler. The dews of affection may-fall, and the gentle rain of sympathy be lavished uppn it—but the sore root of-blighted feeling wili never again waken into life—nor the crushed flow­ers of hope blossom with their won'.ed beauty. —Bulwer.

The worldly minded,generally boast of reason, but there1 .seeais but little reason in being pleased, with a ineri bauble, and de»-pisiog'.pure gems qf fin* go.ld. Thus it is with them,—the tinsel of fashion, the uncer­tain and Vanishing pleasure's of wealth, the :f«lse*xcHe*5^^^ in which pey vainTy endeavor to find peace and strong consolation—while the certain and unspeakable joys; of religjpn are looked upon as beneath their thoughts. In the one, all is disappointment, and Pa'n and mortification; in the other, the purest and holiest joys abound, and every day brings new delights—and yet, men of boasted rea­son pass by the latter and choose the ways in which are experienced daily regrets, and constant disappointments.

DIVINE GOODNESS,—As the power and goodness of Heaven aire infinite in their ex tent, and infinite in their minuteness, to the mind cultivated as nature meant it to be, there is only delight in contemplating the sublimity of the endless sea. or everlasting mountains, or the beauty of wide ex'ended landscapes, but there is pleasuro id looking at every little shell thaCGod has made. Na­ture has scattered around us ou every side and for every sense, £u inexhaustible profu­sion of beauty_and sweetness, tf-wewitt pre­serve it. The pleasures we derive from flowers, from musical sounds, froth forms, are surely not given tp us in vain, and if we are constantly alive to these, we can never be in want of subjects'of agreeable contem­plation, and must be habitually cheerful.

THE DisciratfE oi LIFE.—Let man re­gard this world merely as a preparatory stage to a future and eternal state of existence.— Let him consider his rnisfortunes, sufferings and miseries, as TntendeTI to prepare him the better for a world of uqdying glory and hap­piness, and let him peijseVere in a course of virtue and usefulness," in contempt of the malignity of bis enemies and the storms of adversity that beat around him. and "he will infallibly attain to that perfection and happi­ness hereafter, which should constitute the only true end and aim of all human exertion and pursuit. — '.,. . »

DISCONTENT.—How universal is discon­tent ! We never yet knew the roan who could say, " I am contented." „ Go where you will, among rich or poor, the man of competence or he who earns his bread •' by the sweat of his brow," you hear murmur­ing and complaint. The other day we stood by a cooper, who was playing a merry tttne with his adze around his cask,—" ah," sigh­ed he, ''mine is a hard lot—ever trotting round aud round like a dpg driving away at a hoop." "Higho," sighed a Machsmitb, lOiOne .of the late hot days as he wiped off the*drops of perspiration' from his brow, while the red hot iron glowed on his anvil— "this is a life with a vengeance! melting and frying one's self over a burning fire.'* "Oh, that I were a cs>rpenter," «"jaculated a shoemaker, as'*he bent over his/ lapstow., "here am Ivday aftjer aby, wearing-my soul away in matting soles For others, cooped in this 7 by 9 room—" Higho! I'm sick of this out-door work !" exclaims the carpenter, " broiling under a sweltering sun, or expos­ed tq the inclemencies of the weather—if I were only a tailor!"—"This is too bad!" perpetually cries the tailor, "to be compel­led to sit perched up here, plying the needle all the time; would that mine was a more active life." "Last day of grace—banks won't discount—customers won't pay—what shall I do?" grumbles the metchant. "I'd rather be a truck horse—a dog—any thing!" '•Happy fellows!" groans the lawyer, as he scratches bis head over some perplexing case, or ports over some dry, musty record, —"happy fellows! I'd rateer hammer stone, than cudgel my brains on this tedious, vex­atious question:' And so through all the va­rious ramifieHtions of society—^all complain of their condition—finding f'lult with their peculiar calling. If I were only this orjhai or ttreTirherrisliouluniercontent, is the uni­versal cry—any thing but what I am. So wags the world—so it has wagged, and so it will ever continue to wag.

testify of the deluge of waters along with the water marks which are abundantly found in the highest rrVpjjntains, and inay be iden­tified in the geplogrcal-strueture of the con­tinents and the islands. No element, per­haps, excepting that of fire, could have wrought such changes—for, when the shore­less waters subsided,- the fragments of the brpkep-up world were tossing to and fro and rounding themselves into n dry orb, under far other than antediluvian features arid com­binations, the 'retiring waves sported' with the ancient mountain tops as with pebbleB, and surge after surge1 laid up on high the immense ridges of new modelled hills with deep and lengthened vales between.

There is one peculiar circumstances con­nected with antediluvian remains not a little astonishing;—it is, that human skeletons have never been found, nor the ruins, of a single edifice or- monument, evidently be­longing to the world before the flood. Man and his works perished. At intervals, in­deed, the naturalist finds imbedded in the secondary formations of rock the gigantic jboiWSOlBtryjtrTapir and otherUuimals of-Abs old world whose species seem to have be­come extjnet in the deluge; but the bare fleshless skeleton of a man who proudly re­jected the spirit warniogs of prophecy and lifted up_his haughty looks towards the first black drops of the predicted storm, has prob­ably never been revealed by the sunlight of heaven. The new world, drenched, reorgan­ized, purified, was 33 if man had never been upon its vivifying bosom. The bipod of an­cient violence had been washed away. The proud cry of millions bad subsided to the feeble supplications of eight individuals, who stood alone in a strange, voiceless, unpeo­pled land, by the side of a rude altar, Irom whence the curling smoke of sacrifice went up, answered by the beautiful Iris, God's bow of promise in the cloud.

An event of such severe application, as might have been expected, has taken a deep hold on human syinpnthy, terror or curiosi­ty ; and almost every being, who has become aujaUalutant 4)f-e,trthr«nce-ihnt time, has had his thoughts, to some extent, busied in exploring tbe eloom and storm of that sun­less season. Every spirit has peered out up­on tbe watery grave of kings, of proud, as­piring nobles, whose generations ran direct­ly back to Eden, aud who still felt in the purple flood of life at their hearts the slpw-ly diminishing impulses of the recent im­mortality of human nature. Genius, in elo­quence, in song, or on the canvass, has of­ten kindled over this theme, and re.iped freshharvest8 of earthly immortality ou this wide field of universal death.

It is not- our purpose to spread tbe glori­ous or tbe gloomy colors of fancy, in min­gled drapery, over the deluge scenery.— More true sublimity lurks in the account o( this event given in the sacred records than may be found in the most labored, minute, or graphic displays of inventive probability. We follow the works of God; and, like the pioneer raven sent-out from the wiodow of the ark. hover a. moment longewover this stormy resting _pla?e.between the world's creation and its end. .The warning washing, .by the* voice of Noah—and longer still by' bis unremitted labors ip building the ark of safely fbr himself, his family, and those;

Threatened judgment comes on tardy wing •f-sfpr God is merciful beyond earthly con­ception of. the most merciful. Arrived at last, it is sudden—as, jf the kind Creator of humanity, was unwilling to hangout his prutracted, unavailing^terrors over tbose:

DonruL WIDOW.—The clerk of a large parish not five miles from Bridgeiiorib, Sal­op, perceiving a female crossing the church­yard in a widow's garb, with a watering can and bundle, had the curiosity to follow her, and he discovered her"to be Mrs. —.—, whose husband bad nut long been interred.
