' - INTEMPERANCE.
I gaz’d upon the tattered garb, '
. Of one who stood a listener by:
The hand of misery preaa’d him hard,
And tears of surrpw swelled his eye.
I gazed upon his pallid cheek,
And aa' ed him how his cares begun,—
He sighed, and thus essayed to apeak,
“The cause of all my grief it KUM."
1 watched a maniac through the gate,
Whose.raving ahookme to the anul,
1,asked what aealed-bis wretched fpte,
Ilia answer was—the cursed bowl,
I asked a convict in his chains,' ’*
While tears along his cheeks did roll,
What devil urged him oti;to crimes—
His answer was—the caned bowl.
I asked a murderer, when the rope
Hung round bis neck in death's hard roll,
Bereft of pardon—and of hope,-
His answer was—the Bowing bow],
PRIZE ADDRESS
ot noBEtiT morris esq. or Philadelphia. -
Spoken by Mrs. Hill,- at the opening of thr
Baltimore Theatre find Circus, on Thursday the
10th of September, 1829.
Oblivion here unfolds her dusky wing,
Ann from the past illustrious spirits spring!
The grave gives back its dead—the sea its prey.
Snatched in the hour of storm from life away!
They come / they com 1 the tyrant and the stave,
Old kings and punces leave the snadowy grave.
Mount gorgeous thrones, again fur empire war.
And drive threugh emokiug plains the victor's
cur!
Immortal deeds with glorious heroes riio,,
And Virtuo wends with Genius -from the skies,
Earth’s ladtderas wander back with years
And Retrospection's eye is filled with tears !
“The world's a stage,’’ eternal Slukesprare cries.
Here tyrants fall and loftier spirits rise—
Before,the gaze Tune's glowiug.pageants roll,
Lucretia shrink:, aud Brutus fires the soul,
The bloody pass where Green's noblest fell,
The victor’s shout; .the patriot's dying knell,
The nlood stained banner aod the broaeu shield,
By Genius' magic wand are hero tevealed!
i V ■
The Ephesian fane is lit, and Curtins dies ./ '
Fame’s brighiestchild—Rome’s loftieslsacrifice.
Proud Ccesar'aform leans o'er the immortal pile.
And Caesar’s reeking wounds are fresh the while.
Tile noble Roman stabs tits virgin Child,
And sweet Virginia utes, but undeftled !
These are the Drama's pioturcs—this the-shrine
Where gifted spirits woo the immortal Nine.
On tireless wing young Genius here shall soar,
Ahd fancy’s realms and Nature’* depths explore.
Bring wreaths from ur9 main heights aud ocean
caves, • . t •
From fallen fane* and unrecorded graves—
l'lnnge with a ipirn.’*. flight h- yond the sky,
And tell of glittering isles that float on high.
To rouse the mind from Superstition's dream.
Enwrap ilia soul and witch wtih Honor’s theme,
To picture Vice a monster dark and dire, ■■ .-
And show how high may Virtue’s sous aspire—
To fix among the stars .thq puiriot's.name.

To teacit man what nv* should be, and to dwell

How wisdom brightened nnd how valor strove,
E'en when the God of world was haddii.as- Jove,

Give us your ears—the rest yoor hearts must tell.
Beauty and Youth, shall off assemble here,
And the bright eye be dimmed with m.nty a tear;

As sorrow here unfolds its piteous tale t •
But Virtue here shall triumph—Vice neapair,
As god like Justice drags it from its lair j

Shall tnaik tiie feelilc form yield up its breath,
Then turn within and meditate on death!

And all shall glean a moral from the stage.

I.he possession of this nhjnense Province k'-

disclaim any party objects in discussing th^

whether the acquisition of this territory (bv
purchase, ofcourso,) shall add to the gloiy or
permanencyr.of this or of any administration ;
such selGsli views are not eiiterinined by tlm
Ptcsidenf pr bis friends; it is sufficient for them
to know, that as long as public good is their
aim, the country will susiait) 'their measures;
and the glory of generally doing what, is right;
is far preferable to the gloiy, us it is called, «f
any special successful project So modi for
