EEyHE primary object of this work will

 -a-be, to check the rapid progress of two alarming evils, so fatally prevalent in our country, viz: lntemperance and lnfdefity, which, like the cankerworm, are stripping the walks Of life of all its flowers, and leav- ing the moral world a leahess desert. To do this the more efectually, we shall pour tray in the most vivid colors, the deformity and deleterious consequences of these most deadly evils, by interesting moral tales, sketches, fragments, essays, and scriptural illustrations. We shall endeavor to cher- ish in the hearts of our readers, the sublime and benevolent sentiments of the blessed gospel of Jesus Christie exhibit the beau- ties and rewards of virtue in all their cap tiyating lovliness-to awaking the better feelings of human nature-to cultivate the SOCIAL and DOMESTIC afections-to deal the mind through the most delightful aven- ues, to the bowers of happiness and peace ito elevate and enlarge the conceptions ito imbue the understanding with the most exalted ideas Of inimitable attributes and perfections of the Great Diyinity--thereby leading mankind to !" fear God and keep his commandments"

 To accomplish these designs, we shall call to our aid all the eloquence of truth, clothed in the most facinating forms-such as moral essays, simple or pathetic tales, varying " from grave to gay, from lively to serene''-poeticai sketches-didactic articles in verse-and sometimes to enli- ven our pages, tale of fancy-a humorous story--an aIegory-a ballad-or a song will receive an insertion, h each and in all, the great end and aim will be, to con- vey moral and religious sentiments, thro' 2 pleasing medium, to the aeart-or, in other words, to blend C the useful with the sweet.o
