Temperance. 
Temperate in every place—abroad, at home, 
Thence will applause, and hence will profit come; 
And health from either he in time prepares 
For sickness, age, and their attendant cares. 
Prabbe. 
He who the rules of temperance neglects, 
From a good cause may produce vile effects. 
Juke. 
JANUARY 28 
Bachelor’s Button Single blessedness . Celibacy. 
He meets the smile of young and old, he wins the praise of all, 
He is feasted at the banquet, and distinguished at the ball; 
When town grows dull and sultry, he may fly to green retreats, 
A welcome visitor in turn at twenty country seats; 
He need not seek society, for, do whate’er he can, 
Invitations and attentions will pursue the single man.

-*- JANUARY 29 ..-.-. 
Balm of Gilead . Sympathetic feeling. 
No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears, 
No gem that twinkling hangs from beauty’s ears, 
Not the bright stars which night’s blue arch adorn, 
Nor rising sun that gilds the vernal mom, 
Shines with such luster as the tear that flows 
Down virtue’s manly cheek for others’ woes. 
Pr. Parwin.
