Beware the whole of sin and vice! 
Although they come in garb so nice 
That, at first view, they may allure;

Of vain enticements that but lead 
To evil, sowing fruitful seed 
Of which the harvest, reaped by death, 
Pollutes the last expiring breath.

In gentle, not in kind; 
Whole; an animal you will find.

magazine may have been late in coming 
from the press, and, as our number did not 
come to hand, we fear that Uncle Sam—• 
who is partial to good things—may have 
gobbled up the copy sent to us. [I guess 
not. The publisher was a little late and did 
n’t deliver a copy to my p. M’s. until after 
that date, but he says that it shall not hap¬ 
pen so again. Uncle Samuel .] In the mean-
