MODERATION.
One of the first lesion, both of religion
and of wisdom, is, to moderate our cxpecta
rKn and hpes; nn.l n.t t srt forth on the
voyage of life, like men who expect to be al
ways carried forward with a favorable gtile.
Ij?t ns be satisfied, if the path wc tread be
eay and smooth, though it be not jtrewed
with flower?. If we look around u, we
shall perceive that the whole universe k full
of active powers. -Moderation is indeed thc
genius of nature. By motiou and exertion,
tho system of being is preserved in vigor.
By its different parts always acting in sub
ordination one to another, the. perfection of
the whole is carried on. The heavenly bo
dies perpetually revolve. Day and uight
incessantly repeat their appointed course.
Continual operations are going on in the
earth, an I in the waters. The resources of
irtuo remain entire, when the days of trou
ble come. They remain with us in sickness,
as in health ; in our dark and solitary hours,
no less than when surrounded with friends
and cheerful society. The mind of a good
man is a kingdom to him, and he can always
enjoy it. '

A Tear Ail Dream
THE LAST SATURNALIA.
Some ninety years ago, there flourished in
Glasgow, a club of young men, which, from
the extreme profligacy of its members, and
the licentiousness cf their orgies, was com
monly called the Hell Club. Besides their
nightly or weekly meetings, they held one
graud 'annual .saturnalia, iu which each tried
morc conspicuous than that of voung Arch
ibald B , who, endowed with brilliant talents
and a handsome person, held out great pro
mise in his boyhoodj and raised hopes which
had been completely frustrated by his sub
sequent reckless dissipation. One morning,
after returning from thisannual festival, Mr.
Archibald U. haviug retired to bed, dreamed
thc following dream.
lie fanciexl that he himself was mounted
on a favorite black horso that he always
rode, and that he was proceeding towards
hi own house -then a seat embowered by
trees, aud situated upon a hill, now entirely
built over, and forming part of the city
wheu a stranger, whom the darkness of the
night preveutcd his distinctly discerning,
suddenly seized the horse's rein, paying, "you
mut go with me."
" And who are you ?" exclaimed the young
man with a volley of oaths, whilst he strug
gled to free himself.
. "That you will see by and by," returnedthe
other, in a tone that excited uncomfortable
terror in thc youth, who, plunging his spurs
into hi, horse attempted to fly, but in vain.
However fast thc animal flew the stranger
was still beside him; till at length in his
desperate effort to escape, the rider was
thrown ; hut instead of being dashed to the
earth, as he expected, he found himself fall
ing falling- falling still, aa if sinking into
the bowels of the earth,-

C.,- AUGUST-31, 1 849.
At lcn?rth a neriod beinrjnt to this mvs-
; o r . a i - m j
tenons descent, he found breath to inquire
of his companion, who was still beside him,
whither they were coins. " Where am I ?
Where are you taking me ?" he exclaimed.
; 10 hell : replied the stranger, and iui
mediately interminable echoes" repeated the
fearful sound, " to hell ! to hell I to hell I."
At length a light appeared which soon in
creased to a blaze, but instead of cries, and
"roans, and lamcntui, as the terrified trav
eller expcctel, nothing met his ear but sounds
of mu:Uc, mirth and johty; and he found
himself at the entrance of a superb building,
far exceeding any he had seen constructed
by human hands. Within, too, what a scene !
No amusements, employment, or pursuit of
man on earth, but was there being carried
on with a venhemence that excited his unut
terable amazement. There the panting
horse still bore hi3 brutal rider through the
excitement of the goaded race ! There over
the miduight bowl, thc inebriate still drawl
ed out the wanton'song or maudlin blasphe
mv ! The gambler plied for his endle?s
gmie, and th; slaves or Mammon toiled
thioiigh eternity their bitter tasks; whilst
ill the magnificence of earth paled before
that which met his view.
lie soon perceived that he was among old
acquaintances whom he knew to bo dead,
ana each he observed, .wa3 pursuing the ob
ject, whatever it was that had formerly en.
irnssed hini ; when finding himself relieved
of the presence of his unwelcome conductor,
ho.venturcd to address his former friend,
Mb. D n'honi he saw sitting, as had been
hei wont on earth, absorbed at loo, rcquCs
tiig her to rest from the game, and intro
duce him to the pleasures of the place, "which
appeared to him to be very unlike what he
hai expected, and indeed an extremely agree
able one. ! But with what a cry of agony,
sli2 answered that there was no rest in hell,
tint they must ever toil on at those very
pbasures, and innumerable voices echoed
through the interminable vaults, " There is
no r?st in hell !" whilst throwing open their
vests, each disclosed in his bosom an ever
burning flame ! These, they said were the
pleasures of hell ; the choice on earth was
their inevitable doom ! In the midst of the
horror this scene inspired, his conductor re
turned, and, at his earnest entreaty, restored
him again to earth, but as he quitted him,
he said, " remember ! in a year and a day
we meet aaiu !" .
At this erisis of the dream the sleeper a
woke, feverish, and ill ; and whether from
the effoct of the dream or of his preceding
orgies,! he was so unwell a to be obliged to
keep Ips bed for several days, during which
period he had time for many serious reflec
tions, which terminated in a resolution to a
handoi the club and his licentious compan
ions a?tO!ether.
II? wa3 no sooner well, however, than
they flocked around him, bent oh recovering
so valuable a member of their society ; and
having wrung from him a confession of the
causes of his defection, which, as may be sup
posed, appeared to them ridiculous, they
soon contrived to make him ashamed of his
good resolutions, lie joined them again
resumed his former course of life, and when !
thc annual saturnalia came rpund,..he. found
himself wirtf Bis glassin ''his hand at the ta
ble ; when the President rising to make his
accustomed speech, began With saying, "Gen
tlemep, this being leap year, and a year and
a day since our last anniversary," &e.
The words struck upon the young man's
ear like a knell ; but, ashamed to expose his
weakuess to the jeers of his companions, he
sat out the feast, plying himself with wine
even more liberally than usual, in order to
drowu his instructive thoughts till, in the
gloom of a winter's morning, he mounted his
horse to ride home. 'Some hours afterwards
the horse was found with his saddle and bri
dle on, quietly grazing by the road Bide,
about halfway between the city and Mr B's
house, while a few yards off lay the corpse
of his master.
Now, as I have said, introducing this sto
ry, it is no fiction. The circumstances hap
pened as here related. An account of it
was published at the time, but the copies
were bought up by the family. Twoor three,
however, were preserved, and the narrative
has been reprinted. Crow 9 Xiylit side of

Rattle S.vake. Crotalus horrvlus.-
Riding a few days since, near the Amite riv
er, I discovered a large rattle snake in the
road. His apparancewas quite handsome
being marked with quite brilliant colors, ar
ranged nearly in the diamond form. With
the fragment of a split stake, I soon broke
his back, and deprived him of power to put
hhuself into a coil. He still, however, at
tempted to bite, and exhibited a pair of for
midable fangs. With a blow of the weapon,
I crushed the back part of his head, by which
his mouthv was left open, and one of. the
fangs fully extended. Immediately on lift
ing up the stake a semi transparent liquor
of a groenish yellow tinge fell in four or five
drops from the extremity of the crooked
fang. This, I doubted not, was the nlatter
of poison by which the bite of this reptile is
rendered so fatal.
Among interesting queries connected with
the natural history of this creature, not the
least would be " in what property of this li
quid does the virulence of the poison con
fist." It is said to contain some acid, as
NUMBER 38.
f Droved bv its efFiict unon vccretable cwlors."
i i j x o
But whether its acid character is the cause
Of the virus, seems to be uncertain, as the
poison oi some ouier serpents are saiu io
have no such property. ; -
How, or whence this deadly property is
collected, is said to be a question of some in
terest among the students of physiology,
It is probable, however, that all their re-
I 11 - 1.1 . . - v
searcues wui never reveal tne enure nianDer
in which k is formed and deposited at the
root of the curiously formed hollow, and
keenly pointed weapon of that animal's de-1
ience. Interesting and valuable as are num
berless parts developed by physiologists,- it
is presumed, that a great part of animal
economy must remain unknown to all but
Him who is nature s source and Author.

The Choice. A Quaker, residing at Par
is, was waited on by four workmen, in order
to make their compliments, and ask for their
usual new year's gifts.
" Well my mends, said the Quaker,
" here are four sifts, choosa fifteeu fraaes
or the Bible."
" I don't know how to read," said the
first, " so I take the fifteen francs."
" I can read," said the second, " but I
have pressing wants." He took the fifteen
francs. The third also made the same choice.
He now came to the fourth, a lad of about
fourteen. The Quaker looked at him with
an air of goodness.
" Will you too, take these three pieces,
which you may attain at any time by your
labor and industry ?"
" As you say the book is good, I.will take
it and read it to. my mother;" replied the
boy. He took the Bible, opened it, and
found bet ween the leaves a gold piece of forty
francs.
The others hung down their heads, and
the Quaker told them he wa3 sorry they had
not made a better choice.
A Dream Realized. The following
dream, foreshadowing the fate of the famous
Major Andre, is of an old date, though but
little known. The truth is vouched for by
a writer in Ainsworth's Magazine, of a re
Cent date :
" Major Andre, the circumstances of
whose lamented death are too well known
to make it necessary for me to detail them
here, was a friend of Miss Seward's and, pre
viously to embarking for America, he made
a journey into Derbyshire to pay her a visit;
and it was arranged that they should ride
over' to see the wonders of the Peak, and in
troduce Andre to Newton, her minstrtl as
she called him, and to Mr. Cunningham, the
curate, who was also a poet. f
" hue these two gentlemen were await
ing the arrival of the guests, of whose inten
tions they had been apprized, Mr. Cunning
ham mentioned to Newton that on thepreced
ing night he had a very extraordinary dream,
which'he could not get put of his head. He.
had fancied himself in a forest, the place was
strange to him, and whilst looking about,
he perceived a horseman approaling at a
great .speed, who had-carcely reached the
spot wh the dreamer stood, when three
men rushed out of the thicket and seized
his bridle, hurried him away, after closely
searching his person. .. . u
" Tho countenance of the stranger being
very interesting, the sympathy felt by the
sleeper for his apparent misfortune awoke
him, but he presently fell asleep again, and
drempt that he was standing near a great ci
ty, among thousand of people, and that he
saw the same person he had seen seized in
the wood brought out and suspended on a
gallows. When Andre and Miss Seward
arrived; he was - horror-struck to perceive
that his new acquaintance was the antetype
of the man in the dream."
I Gambling Houses at New Orleans.
' The Daily Republican, published at Sara
toga, contains the following description of
something we have in New Orleans, but
which few have seen. It purports to be an
account of the gambling-houses at New Or
leans : '
These rooms are very splendid, ' richer
than any private apartments at the North
more luxurious sofas, couches, mirrors,
painting nectar and music of seraphs, en
chant the senses.: liow many wretched
forms have reclined upon these very couch
es 1 How many haggard faces have been
reflected from these very mirrdrs ! Here
the suicide has thought of his beggared wife
and his boy, the first born of their union,1
and burying his face in his hands, formed
the awM resolution.' s Here, too, the old
and respectable planter has sat in mute des
pair to contemplate hii bankruptcy and loss
of reputation, but he did not think of sui
cide. The old love life, though they know
it to be pain and sorrow.; Can splendor,
and music and gaiety and youth throw even
a gleam oi joy over apartments so accursed?
The air is death. Men will not grow wiser
by any thing but their own experience..
Though all the dead bodies of suicides, and
all the meutal pangs personated, sat by to
warn the gambler, he would not stop. Yes,
all goes on now as before. The cards that
are handled to-day, and the dice that rattle
so merrily, and the spots so well drawn,
have been handled and rattled and seen 'by
fingers and eyes that now clasp the worrn,
and furnish a nest for the coiling reptile.?
