MISCELLANEOUS 



THE TEMPERANCE STANDARD. 



Am : — " Ye marinert nf England." 



Life u|), lift up the standard, 

 And pliiiit it near the well! 

 And, gathered underneath its fuldfi, 

 A choral nnthctn tiwell ! 

 The nntheni that is set in praiae 

 Of l)rook!i and cisterns King ! 

 Give one strain to the rain, 

 Give another to the spring; — 

 Yoa, give a chorus loud and long 

 To aqueduct ond spring. 



Grsen hills and smiling vntlcys ! 



Ye once were red with gore, 



When Freedom's thunders o'er you rolled, 



And broke along our shore. 



The holy skies have-]ioured their rains, 



And sifted down their snows, 



Till the staiu of the slain, 



That hcneaih your turf repose, 



Is washed away, and the sods arc clean. 



Where the martyred brave jepose. 



Even 80 will ice and water 



Make clean our living clay ; — 



Then li't them grace our festive board 



On Independence day; — 



The day that tells us of the blood 



That was, like water, poured 



From llicir veins, on the plains 



Where our fathers graspad the sword, 



Where the cumbrous ibeath was thrown away, 



And flashed the freemao'i swerd. 



Te heroes of the bottle, 



Who " bumper" every toast, 



Who keep your wine in cobwebs wrapixsd. 



And make its age your boast. 



The oldest wine your vaults have known 



From pre.-^s or vat to flow. 



Is new to the dew 



That six thousand years ago 



Came down to fill our c«ps, one night, 



Six thousand years ago. 



Ye champions of cold water. 



Who quaff the drink divine, 



Who've given your rum and brandy o'er, 



And bid adii'4i to wine. 



The bottles that ye crock to-day. 



By God's own hand are given ; 



Borne in earth have their birth, 



And some are made in heaven; 



The granite rock and spring are those, 



And these the clouds of heaven. 



Then up the Temperance standard ! 



And plant it by the well, 



And, shaded by its waving folds, 



A choral (mtliem swell ! 



The aiillinm that is set to chime 



With babbling waters sing. 



Give one strain to the raiu, 



Give another to the spring. 



Yea, give a chorus loud and long, 



To aqueduct and spring! 



Curious .Iris. — Some friend has sent us through 

 the post oflice, the following useful recipes, which 

 if genuine — and we see no reason to doubt — are 

 truly valuable, as well as curious. Ho has our 

 thanks. 



1. Jl H'uler-proof Glue. — Melt common glue in 

 the smallest possible quantity of water, and add by 

 drops linseed oil that has been rendered di-i/in^ by 

 having a small quantity of litharge boiled in it ; 

 the glue being briskly stirred when the oil is added. 



2. Glue will resist water to a considerable ex- 

 tent by being dissolved in skimmed milk. 



3. The addition of finely levigated chalk to a 

 solution of common glue in water, strengthens it, 

 and renders it suitable for signs or other work that 

 is exposed to the weather. 



4. A glue (or cement) that will hold against fire 

 or water, may be made by mixing and boiling lo- 

 gollier linseed oil and quick lime. This mixture 

 must bo reduced to the consistence of soft putty 

 and then spread on tin plates and dried in the 

 shade, where it will dry very hard. This may af- 

 terwards be moiled like common glue, and must be 

 used while hot — Amtrican .Mechanic.

Dr. 



— , of the army, remarked tho othc 

 day, speaking of his professional brotherhood, " tha 

 though not actually called upon :o expose Ihem 

 selves in battle, he presumed that lere were none 

 of them who did not stand ready whenever occa 

 sion required it, to bleed for Ih. country." 



Eggs were recently sold in the Cincinnati mar 

 ket at three and a half cents per dozen. 



Slander. — It is a poor soul that cannot bear slan- 

 der. No decent man can get along without it ; at 

 least none that are actively engaged in the strug- 

 gle of business life. Have you a bad fellow in 

 your employment, and discharge him, he goes 

 round and slanders you ; refuse another a very 

 modest boon which he has asked, he goes round 

 and slanders you ; let your conduct be such aa to 

 create the envy of another, he goes round and slan- 

 ders you. In fine, as we said before, we would 

 not give a cent for a person who is not slandered : 

 it shows that he is either a milksop or a fool. No, 

 no — earn a bad name by a bad fellow, (and you 

 can easily do so by correct conduct) — it is the only 

 way to prove'lhat you are entitled to a good one.

" I am old enough" sayc Smollet, in o letter to 

 his friend Farrack, " to have seen and observed 

 that we are all playthings of fortune, and that it 

 depends upon something as insignificant and pre- 

 carious as the tossing up of a halfpenny, whether a 

 man rises to influence and honors, or continues to 

 his last day struggling with the difficulties and 

 disgraces of life." 



Had you have lived longer, Mr Smollet, or had 

 you looked deeper into society, you would have 

 found that each virtue and each vice gets its own 

 reward, es certainly as the stone that is thrown up- 

 ward, is drawn back to the earth. God's mor.il 

 laws are as faithfully executed ns those by which 

 he acta in the natural world. He faithful — faithful 

 to God and man, you will have a rich reward. — lio.
