On the coast of Norway there is an im-
mense whirlpool, which; the natives call
ibo macUtroom meaning the naval, or
centre of tho sea. In the midst or this
circular movement of tho waters stands
a rock, against which the' tl Jo in its ebb,
daahes with .inconceivable velocity, and
iwy thing that comes within the reach
of its violence is there swallowed up. No
akill.or strength of rowing can,, work an
pscipe when once drawn within its sphere.
The stotm-boaten mariner at the helm
finds ih ship go into a current opposite
hit intentions? bis vessel's motfon,, though
ilow at first,' becomes more rapid every
moment j it goes round, In circles whxh
become more narrow, till at last it is dash-
ed against the rock and entirely disap,
pears forever, vnd thus it fares with the
thotighilcsa youth who places himself with
n the powcrfof intemperance. -At first be
indulccs with cautious timidity, una strug-
gles against the current of Vicious inclina
lion. Every time he satiates the cravings
of an ' dtoral appetite, ho is carried still
farther down the stream of intemperance,
ibe i violence of which increases and brings j
Mm "still nearer the vortex of ruin, till at
kpgjh,' stupiflcd and subdued, he yields
without a struggle, exclaiming " I know I
am a ruined man, but f cannot atop,'" and
rocs on until he makes shipwreck of con
aeienoA nf interpat.of- reputation, and of
every thing that ia dear and yajuablo in the
human character;
Intemperanco bids" the spirit of youth
bow down at an unholy shrine ; and the
sweetest affections, tho dearest hopes, and
the fondcat visions of earth are offered up
as incense to the mysterious divinity bf the
revelling god. Ulw many, families have
keen deprived of their brightesWnnments

Suicide el an Officer of tbe United
'--.8aes'!aTT, ? ;
But a few days' have 'elapsed since we
had to discharge the mounful duly of com.
menting opon the murder of a harmless
scholar in the quiet halls of his college, by
a student, under "the influence of wine.
And we are now required lo detail the
suicide of a LieulcnalH in the Navy of the
United States, irom the some pernicious
influence the maddening effects" of the
wine cvp ! Lieut. t.. C. Wyche, who
committed self-slaughter in the Tolbooth of
uoston, on luesday night, after-having
recovered from a fit of intoxication, during
which be was denied the sympathies of
humanity, and repulsed by all as an alien
to the form and imago of jGod ! "c. r -
It is upon such occasions as this, when
we behold a brave, and noble, and chival
rous man, Cur down in" his prime by the
ruthless power of the wine fiend, that we
pause with awe and amazement at the in
futuation, of those who still advocate, en-
courage and tolerate intoxication upon wine,
or, what amounts to the same thing, wine
drinking. Some wjll vindicate their con.
duct by saying, 14 Yes, but we only sncour
ace it to a temperate degree." But who
ever heard of ' tempetate wine drinker
Who ever knew one class quaffed off to
the " Rosy God" by which men mean the
God of Madness but they call out,"Uome,
another, class !-one more glass only !"
Then the bottle is empty, aad they call for
'another bottle -ontf ons more bolUe!
Well, that too is drained, and they call for
anotherand another, and another till the
poor victim reels like a top, raves like a
madman, and is spurned like a' beast I
Such is tho irue process of wine, drinking,
and yet we find it has advocates even in the
forum, the pulpit, tbe Dench, and -the hall
of legislation'.

Short Patent Sermon "
a'1 BY DOW, JR. v
ON THE DAYS OF AUTUMN.
O, there'e a charm in mild autumnal days!
. Though Nature droop and lilently dccay; '
Yet, christian like, ahe calmly yields her bloom,
Aad amilea before the universal tomUvAMOJi;
My dear friends Wbea I preach meta-
phoricftlly, figuratively or parabolically,
you mus nt take me just as I say, but just
as I mean. Don't , pcrvert-roy meaning
ever, and get thlngswxong end about, as
an old rum drinker did once, when he want
ed te say, over a resolution to drink noth.
Ing but wine, "the spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak,". and said, ' the flesh jswil
ling but Ihe '. spirit U iw So pulNlie
cotton out of your ears; and hurken unto
my words. " We all know, my friends, that
the eilk-worm lays itstggs and dies ; and
so it is with Nature she, alsodrobs her
ovaries upon the ground, end crawls into
her annual sepulchre.. She is now expiring
upon . her autumnal couch, and her ..faded
wardrobe lies scattered about in every room,
Closet andCorner of tho universe. Her
summer glories are fading fust away; but
she goes smiling down to the grave; and
blushes ajthe approach of the bridegroom,
deatb, as t young and beautiful bride blushes
before the) hymenial Hilar andover the
tomb of )ier past virgin delights. ' Pre she
breathes Iter last; the pine, the hemlock,
the mountain fir and tho laurel, shall twine
together,! and, crown her: withered brow
with an evergreen wreothr which shall flouv."'.
rish throijgh the long gloom of winter, like
the bays pf fuith, which the christian wears,
untouched "and uhtouuhablo ,by the hoar
frosts of time,'-Not long ago the Jnfant
flowers sucked at the breast of spring and
quietly snoozed In their mossy qradles, fun
ncd by the balmiest of breezes ; then sum.
mer comes dresses ihemn-frocksyof
deeper greennurturcs therftrlike. a kind
mother) beneath her -fostering cae, and
sees tbem arrive at triaturity; but where
are they now" J. They are dying of age and
the yellow jaundice- they have lived their
appointed time, which is, in common with
that of the human tribe, just long enough
to progagate their . species. Yes, ' my
friends, the rose has cohabited with the
rose -the male and female 'pumkin, bios
soms have slept together beneath the same
leaf veai every little flower has accom
plished Ihe great aim of. its existence, and
ia now1 iroinir the war of all vocetaulea.

C'ASd such 1s Cottage Piety. The proud
moy sneer at it the rich mayjejjard it as
a fiction the dweller in town' may look ou
it as an enthusiast's picture ; but the great
God who mode us all and who notes every

every Sabbath-'ef4he year. .
From the Boston Mercantile Journal. '
inpof taaacc of selecting a proper' ,
Occupation. .
But few parents aro awaro of Tig im
niense importance of selecting for their "
sons, occupations, for which they are tspc.
cially qualified by their 'physical consilium
lions or mental organizations u circum
stance which is seldom tukon into consido--tatioo.
A person, who; whilo attendingto the
duties of his profession or occupation,
whether literary, scientific or manual, can
gratify the predominant faculties of tho
mind; iiVill always be successful,. Ilia iusu
hess will be an important source of his
happiness, and of course will not bo neg
lected. It is not only imprudence, but eru. -
elty, in a parent, who, urged by pride, ig.
noranco or conrice. condemns his favorite
son to k calling, for which he can never bo
qualified by his mental organization-A ,
fearful lalo might be told of misery, want-
intemperance, Vice and insanity, which
have had their origin in these sad mistakes.
It is well known that tho wily Jesuits, who
possessed an exlaordinary power of pene
trating (ho motives of human actions, were
romarkable for Iwtr success in educating
youth. And one great source of the asto
nishing influence, which that religious order
once exorcised over a largo portion of tfio
civilised and uncivilized world, has been as
cribed by writers", who flourished many
years ago, to their sagacity in adapting thd
particular business or ogency of the difTe..,.
rent members of their order, to tne peculiar
qualifications, with which they were en
dowod by Nutufe. Almost every individual
is qualified to excel in some employment -and
if all our-children woro destined to
pursue those occupations for which they
are especially fitted by their mental organi
zation, and which would sometimes pioca
the son of tho humblest artisan in the put- (
pit, or or4he bench, nd sometimes doom
the descendant of the capitalist lo labor
with his Jutnds, it is evident that a tremcn
"dous addition would be made to tho moral
power of this republic.
Wo once knew a worthy farmer, who
hadthrco active, lively boys, in whom in
all probability he might havo token much
pleusure', ond been proud of, their rcspecta- ,
Lility and useful nens, "if it had not been for.
his strong feelings in favor of the " three
great profeasiona," as he called them, and t"
he determined that they should hp profos-
sionnl men. They- were alf sent to college
at an expense which nearly beggared their. .
kindbut mislfiken parents, who literally
worked flight and day to secure to their
sonsan.cducation. Thceldcstaccorclingly, m
