OttE drsugVt from the Pierian spring kind tauae!
To slight a favor thou can’st not refuse—
.) e draught my fetble lute-strings to inspire,
\nd til! my soul with pure, and heavenly fire.
L is rot mine to leave the calm retreat,
Tud climb * hi re Dryden climbed with bleeding feat,
Nor do-1 ash it—in an bumble sphere
l chant tr.y strains to some indulgent ear,
Content to view Parnassus from afar
As Devotees— behold some worshipped star.
Yd I would sing of one—a youthful Bard,
vVhone brow of inn.cence has ne’er been marred
By lh< ugbts uni oli; but whose Sow of song
Is pave 8P may to Earthly Harp belong.
Sublimity of thought, with modest grace
We see combi m and in yon sweet Poet’s face—
A heart w here genius lights her torch at ere,
And e who sot the inspired strains believe—
Vy*\ y. e v. e know that more of heaven than earth
Belongs to this pure B rd of mortal birth,
His soul is filled with true Parnassian fire.
And angtis snailc when Meruh strikes the lyrel
And native pride swtl'a largely at the sound,
For Georgia's Bard in Merlin Basil be found.
Yes I Angels smile at his wfild-chosen theme,
’ontetit to work, and not to tdl> dream ,
To vauq'tish Whisky, now tie grasps hie pen,
Whi'kv, that fata l , murderous foe to men;
Whici. in iiisidi ae forms still reigns with power,
And desolates some htarth-stone every hour;
v\ h ch ti is pu-e loving hearts wit ■ care and gloom,
And victim- -end.-. to a dishonored tomb.
Lvi n whilo I wiite the shadowy forms flit by,
Oi thos -, ho by this fi>e were douuitd to die—
Pale, w eping mothers whom this monster crashed,
A tid h-ioe sad wa lings in the grave Were hushed—
Frail dang ters whom a drunken lather’s cu se
Convey, and to gloo ■ y grave yards, or to teorsd.
A bligfiti and life: these hen a lather foil
Too oit ‘ bade virtue, hope and Heaven farewel'.”
Deserted wivta, now numbered with tbe dead,
Vi ho heard their famished children cry for bread
W hen thi re was none to give —for h their stay (?j
On Whisky-shops there pittance cast an ay.
Ab ! yes they conic, these unblessed ones of earth.
Who t- • aie iuiescursed the hour that give them birth,
IVe, little, c i dren, on whose cheek no day
The smile oi childhood o’er was seen to play ;
W Lose tiny forms in rag*, and tatters dressed
Plead vainly for the comforts ne’er possessed.
And ’.umtd men, once some fond mot! er’s pride,
VS ho lihped “our Father” nightly at her side;
But who in evil fiour the bar-room found,
And evtiy holy thou o he in Whisky drowned.
l LenorhXi.d—to scenesot most unholy strife
They go, and take some fellow-creatures’ Me.
Ah! yt:-: the convict, i yon and smal cell,
In whose luul heart angels no longer and til.
Can point t VV isky aa the curse and le,
By whom from “nigh estate” he was brought low.
ihtse vi-iunts from prisons, and the gravy,
U and us, our iittle banner proudly wave;
An i ilay the bocial serpent ere too late,
ile lures more ‘ia.a.B through Peid.tiOns’ gate.
A glorious cause is ours! Each good man’s prayei
Is echoing gladly on the evening air,
’ s we w.ih lee be effort strive to Sill,
I he iocs who, grave yards, prison-houses fill,
Ft ith genius , mud, who nut for V\ hisky’s sway
liau been a boasting nations, prop and stay.
And tunny voices from that shadowy band
S out ** inbor on, ’till on our sunny land ;
Ao h hisky->hop is itft with berpent e iiue,
To blight our Eden—this bright, favored eUtne.”
And with Kii.h voi ts shouting in our ea'S,
shall we regard t >e ill-timed laugh, or sneena?
No: by tue tears of those who m htly weep,
Arid nhades ol those who sleep the dr aiidosa bleep*
We’il lab r on, with o.’ without applanse,
With Ik aits courageous in the Temperance Cause.
I chose thee Merlin, for my theme, and ©ng
To thee the t-trin didst properly belmg;
But Pi-gaous, a vaywaid steed at beat
in no one path ever content to rest,
Skimmed thn the air, and bore me for a war.
And bade use teli the b ighf, and the decay
Ol those whoa lamps of life were soon “pot out”
the victims ol the drunken and shoe l
Such was thy theme : and let me thee now,
While sombre shad twa steal o’er evening’s brow,
One heirt goes with thee on thy upward w*y,
And lor thy rich success dotn ever pray 1
For thou has w sely ‘*taYn the better part,”
And piayers for thee should dwell m every heart
Posterity shall justly laud thy name,
And d*nk thy \outhiul brow with wreaths of fame
Then welcome Merlin, from the “motleythrong”
Ci ne glad our souls with Heaven-inspjied song!
to thy sweet Harp is g.ven power, and might
Then e\er battle bravely for the right I

Aiound thy earthly ; a hway shall be thrown—
When from the casket tbe pure s ul departs.

S'/ldiers and Countrymen !—We have met

George* Brunswick, c tile 1 the king, will fe 1 in his
