BT THOMAS rORTER.
In Hydra form I sea thee stalk abroad,
Not satisfied as yet with human blood,
Thousands on thousands, fall to thee a prey,
Ere spent with loti, or worn ty age away,
Men, born for Heaven —nobles of oor race
Plunged by thy power in rum and in disgrace,
Enticed by thee, man madly speeds his way
Regardless of the voice which bids him s'ay.
Ah! widows’ tears, and orphans’ rending cries
Ne’er stay thy work when bent upon a prize;
; Ctirstisthy name— from Hell the Fury sprung,
Envenom’d Reptile—with the viper's longue.
A Gem.— One of the finest engraved
1 portraits we have seen is a mezzotint
of the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen,
just published by Messrs. Anthony,
Etlwards & Co., from their beautiful
Daguerreotype miniature, which vve
noticed some time since. It is a like
ness not only of the features, but of the
mind and heart of Mr. F., the mingled
I expression of mildness and firmness
indicating at once the Christian and
the statesman. It is sold at the low
drice of 25 cents. —[N. • Com. Ad..
