' ; ' vf Boston. : ' ' Whoever finds the I sire of drinking ar dent"spirit8, returning daily at stated limes, is. warned to deny himself instantly, if he intends to escape confirmed intemperance. It is infallible evidence that you have al ready jdnne 'violence to nature that the undermining process is begun- that the o verworked organs bgin to flag, and cry out for adventitious aid, with an importuni ty. 'which, if 'indulged, will become more deep toned, & importunate, & irresistable, until the power of self-denial is gone, and you are' a ruined man. It is the ..vortex bpjrun. which if not checked, will become more capacious and deep, and powerful. and loud, until the interests ot time; ami eternity are ingulfed. , It is here then beside this commencing vortex, that I would -"take my r stand to warn oft' the heedless navigator from de . struction. I o all woo do-but heave in sight, and with voice that should rise above tlie wind and waves. I would cry- "stand oft' ! ! !" Spread, the sail ply the oar, for death is here ; anil could I command ihe elements, the blackness of darkness should gather over this gate-way to bell, and loud thunders should utter their voice's, & lurid fires should blazi, , and the groans of unearthly voices should be heard, inspi ring consternation and flight in ill who came near. For this is the parting point between .those who forsake danger and hide themselves, and the foolish .who nass on and are punished. He who escapes- this periodical thirst of times and seasons, will not.be a drunkard, as he who' comes within this powerful attraction will be .sure to perish. It may not be certain that ev ery one will become a sot ; but it is? cer tain that every one will enfeeble hisbody, generate disease, arid shorten his days. It may not be certain that every One, will sacrifice his reputation, or squander his pnrperty, and die in the - alms-house : but it. is certain that a large: proportion will come to poverty and infamy, of those who yield , daily -.to the periodical appetite for ardent spirits. I Here is; the stopping place, and though beyond it men may struggle, and retard and modify their pro gress, none, comparatively, who.jjo by it, will return again to purity of enjoytijent, and the sweets of temperate liberty. V The servant has become the master, and with a rod . of iron jind- a whip s of scorpions he yill torment, even .V before their time. the candidates' for miserv in a future state. It, is not enough therefore "to erect the flag ahead, to mark the spot where the drunkard dies. It must be planted at the entrance oi his course, proclaiming in. wa ving capitals, this mtHewatto'deatk! i Over the whole terrHoryo.f pru(jfeht use"' it mustvvave and ; warn.' For iTifi' can not stop men in ; the beginning,-- we cannot separate, between that and;the end.

But these evils areas real, as if the stone -did cry out of the wall, and, the beam answered it as real ,as if day and night, ' wailings werv heard on every part of the dwelling, and b'ood and skeletons were seen in eve ry wall as real, as if the ghostly forms of departed victims, flitted about the ship as vhe passed over the billows, and showed themselves nightly about stores and dis tilleries, and with unearthly voices scream ed in our ears their loud lament .''They nre a real, as if the sk over ourheads collected. and brou-jfit doVn about us all 1he notes of sorrow in the latiil---anl the firm earth should open a passage for the waitings of despair to come Up from be neath.
