TEMPERANCE. ;■
[The circumstances which induced the writing
of. die following most touching and thrilling Huee,
are as follows : A > v oung lady in New York wa
ia the baßitof writing for the Philadelphia Ledger,
cm the subject df temperance. Her writing wa®
so full of pathos, and evinced such deep emotion
of soul, that a friend of hers accused her of being
a maniac on the aubjeet of temperance, whereupon
she wrote the following lines :}
Go,-feel what I have felt—
Go, bear what I have Lome—
'Sink’heath the blow a father dealt,
And the cofd world’s proud seoru ;
Then suffer on from ysar to year]
Thy sole relief the scorching tear l
Go, kneel as I hare-knelt;
Implore, beseech and pray,
Strive the besotted heart to mfelt
The downward course to stay;
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers year tear* defied.
Go, weep as I have wept; . -
O’er a loved father’s fail; • -
See every promised blessing swept.
Youth's sweetness turned to gall.
Life’s faded dowers strewed all the way,
That brought me up to woinau’s day.
Go, see what I have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed;
With.gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood,.
And cold and livid brow;
Go, catch his withering glance, and see
There mbror’d his soul’s misery.
Go tothv mother’s side.
And her crushed spirit cheer;
Thine, own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from her cheek the bitter.tear;
Matk her worn frame and withered lrow,
The gray tiiat streaks her dark hair now.
With fading frame and trembling limb;
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early youth.
Promised eternal love and truth; •
But who, forsworn, hath yielded up
The promise to the cursed cup. •
And led her down, through love and light.
And all that made her prospects bright,
And chained her there, in want and strife,
Thai, lowly thing—a drunkard’s wife!
And stamped on childhood’s bro v so mfld,’
That withering blight—a drunkard’s child I
< ■<> hear, and feel, and see, and know
All that my heart has felt and known;
Tii-en look upon the wine cup’s glow,
Hee if its beauty can atone;
Think, if its flavor vou would Iry,
When all proclaim, ’tis drink and die!
- Tell me 1 hale the bowl 1
liate is a feeble word;
I hate, abhor —ray very soul
With strong disgust is stirred., . *

•‘Doctor, you have boon very faith
ful to mo.”
A wry poor, but eipinentTv pious wo
,mau in B , who was sick lur ruauy
months, was attended by one of the most
celebrated and skilful physicians in tlx#
city, with all the fidelity that she could
fttiii even more than she had reason
to expect, as he knew her inability to’
make any pecuniary .composition. As she
phvvy year the close of life* and was aware
that’ Tier opportunities tor doing good
would soon be over, she said to this kind
friend, “Doctor, you have been vgiy'flitii-
Jui to :ue, visiting me at all seosoius,- aad
in all kinds of weather, with no prospect
of any return; and now I feel that I must
be tiiriliful to you, I have no other way to
express my gratitude. Yyu m.vy#i come t<>
an hour like this, and you do not profess
to lie prepared for-Brich- scenes as nre just
before me. I can only pray for vou in rnv
poor way, but that I must do. Will you
help me to rise from the b di” The • phy
sician begged her not to make the attempt
in her feeble state; .but she urged so iin -
portunaUily.to- be allowed io kneel while
she implored the blessing of God upon her
“beloved physician,” that h.e at last yield
ed, and placed her in an attitude of devo
tion by her bed-side.
The feeble, dying saint offered a most
fervent prayer that the heart ot this faith
ful friend might be broken, renewed, sanc
tified and saved, through the infinite and
undeserved mercy of the Divine Re
deemer, and that all the faculties he pos
sessed might be consecrated to the Sav
iour.
The doctor was deeply affected by this
proof of the deep interest bis humble jrn
tient felt in him, and the high moral cour
age she evinced, and expressed to her his
gratitude for her we} i-meant efforts.—
“Now,” said she, ‘T must hog you to go
into the next room., and there kneel and
pray tor yourself. Promise me that, you
will.” He at first, declined, feeling that
such a course was out of-the question; but
entreated so earnestly, refusing to he
denied “this one request*,” that lie’ \wa j
really cOin-peHeri to comply with her wish- j
es. lie repaired'to the solitary robtnt and
knelf —Int the only words he could utter
were, : God is a consuming fire,” *Gofl Is
a fsorisumiug fire.” He could think of
nothing else, and that dread assertion was
constantly upon His lips, and caused him
to tremble with emotion.
in a state of great agitation, he return
ed t<> the bed tide of the dying woman, j
. told h t his feelings, and asked what, he
oonh! do to obtain relief from that agoniz
ing thought. She told him ehc was igno

self, but “mv minister,” said she, “will
guide you aright. I can only pray for
you. but go to Dr. B , and he will tell
vou how and whore to “find relief.” He
went to lief minister, and ere she closed
her eyes on earthly scenes, she was per
mitted to see this kind friend sitting at
the feet or Jesus, and rejoicing Li hie pow

y ? Fortunes of a Pin.
la the year 1787, a hpy called Lvfitt
tirsi appeared in Paris. *’He was pour, and
greatlv desired £<> <*btaiu iu inferior place
in the banking Imuse. Furnished with a j
l. tt r of introduction, he went to the house i
of a rich Swiss banker to ask for employ- J
: *^ es ’ ’ tlniid, and care- i
worn; arid the banker thinking him unfit
for a clerk, told him that he had no room j
fur him in his office.
The lad left the banker’s richly-gilded 1
room with a sad heart. While crossing
the court-vard, with drooping head, he
saw a pin on the ground; he stooped dowu
•and took it up, and placed it carefully in
the corner of his cp.it. He did not think at
the time that this act,. so trifling in itself,
would be the turning: point in his life, and
the means of his future splendid success.
The banker •saw front li re window what
had'taken place, turd, attaching great im
portance t,u lie was impressed by
the circumst.'Wiee. This simple action gave
him a key to the character of-Lafitte. It
was a proof of order and. prudence. And
he thought that young man who could
thus take care of a pin, would surely make
a good clerk, and merit the trust and good .
wishes of iris employer.
Tlie same evening Lafitte received a
note from the banker, off-ring him a situa
tion in his counting-house, and asking him
to come and fill the place at once.
The discerning banker was not deceived
in his hopes; for he soon found that the
young pin saved possessed all the good
q-n ddies he expected. From a clerk, La
titte soon -advanced to he cashier, and at
length was reoeived into partnership, and
afterwards became the‘owner of the larg
est bank in Paris, rfnd one of the richest
• men in the World. Ho was not only rich,
generous, g’reat,’ and powerful, but was
! chosefl a deputy of tbe people, and made
President of the Council of Ministers, and
was in every respect the most influential
citizen of France.
Tlie King’s Examination of a Sol
dier.
L y tiß customary with Frederic the
Gregt, whenever anew soldier appeared
iu his guards, to ask him three questions,
viz : “llow old are you ? How long have
you been in my service? Are you satis
fied with your pay and treatment ?”
A smart .young soldier, born in France,
who had served in his own country, desir
ed to enlist in the Prusian service. His
figure caused him to be immediately ac
cepted; but lie was totally ignorant of the
German dialect, and his captain, giving
him notice that the king would question
him in that tongue the first time he should
see him, cautioned him at the same time
to (earn by bon; t the three answers that
i*eiV-aa to make the king. Accordingly,,
h-u Fanned them by the next day; and as
boor, as he appeared-in. the-ranks, Frederic
ciuie np to interrogate him; but he hap
pened to begin upon him by the second
question, and asked him, “Howlong have
you been in my service?” “Twenty one
years,” answered the soldier. The king,
struck with Iris youth, which plainly indi
cated t-bat be bad not borne a musket so
.long as -Unit, said to him, much astonish
; ed, “Haw old are you ?” “One year, an’t
! pjeqse your majesty.” Frederic, more as
i ffon ished still, cried, “Ton or I must cer
tainly be bereft of our senses.” The sol-
i r, who ithis fur the third question,
replied firioTv, “Both, ari’t please your
a;:ij * rv ” ’-Tir's is the first time I was
ever treated aa. madiima at the head of
rny army,” rejoined Frederic. The Soldier
who had exhausted his stock of German,
kept silent, and when the king questioned
him again, to penetrate into this mystery,
the soldier told him in French, that he did
not understand a word of-German; at which
the king laughed heartily, and advised
him to learn that language, and exhorted
hint to perform well his duty.

A Fatuous Reporter.
Mr. William .Woodtall, the son of the
celebrated printer of the Public Advertis
er, in which the Letters of.Junius first ap
peared, undertook, without any assistance,
the arduous task of reporting the debates
of both houses of Parliament, day by day,
in in’s father’s paper, and afterwards in
other daily journals. This gentleman pos
sessed a most extraordinary memory, as
well as wonderful” powers of literary labor.
It is asserted that lie had been known to
sit through a long debate of the House of
Commons,making a single note of the
proceeds jgsjVnd afterwards to write out a
full jiml faithful account of what had taken
place,. extending to,sixteen columns, with
out allowing himself, an interval-.of rest.
The remarkable exertions of this most fa
mous reporter gave the newspapers for
which he wrote a celebrity which compel 1-
eo other newspapers R> aim at the same
fulness and freshness in their parliamenta
ry reports.’ What VVoodfall accomplished
by excessive bodily and mental exertion,
his contemporaries succeed in bringing to
a higher degree of perfection by'the divis
ion, of labor.; and thus, in time, each morn
ing newspaper had secured the assistance
of ah ofHqient body of reporters, each of
whom might in turn take notes of a de
bate, and commit a portion of it to the
press several hdurs before the whole de J
bate was concluded.
Self Emm,inalion.. —Let no sleep fall
upon thine eyes till thou hast thrice review
ed the transactions of the day. Where
have I turned aside from rectitude? What
have I been doing? Begin thus from the
first rcfand proceed; and in conclusion,
at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled
and rejoice for the good.
The Pen— In the band that knows how
to use it, it is the most powerful weapon
known. As the tohgi.e of the absentee,
how cheering! When the golden tints of
virtue guide it, bow beautiful! When
self-respect givi-s it new vigor, how pleas
ing ! When wit sharpens it, how fatal!
“’Tis the weapon of the soul.”

fa AYER’S
CATHARTIC
OPEKAXE t>y Oieir powerlul influence on the intevrml tlk
cera to pnrlfy the blood anil stimulate it Into healthy ac
tion. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, liowet9, liver,
and other organs of the hod.v, and, by restoring tbeir irregular ac
tion to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements
as are the first causes of diseace. An extensive trial of thedr vir
tues, by Professors, Physicians, and Patients, lias shown-cures of
dangerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not substanti
ated by perams of such exalted position and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth. Their certificates are published in my
American Almanac., which the Agents below named are pleased to
furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions for their use in the complaints
which they have been found to cure.
For CosTivEXEsa. —Take one or two Pills, or such quantity as to
gently move the bowels. Cosliveness is frequently the aggrava
ting cause of Piles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure of
both, k'o person can feel well while under a costive habit of body.
Hence it should be, as it can be, promptly relieved.
For Dtspkpsia, which is sometimes the cause of Costiveness, and
always uncomfortable, take mild doses—from one to sou stim
ulate the stomach and liver into healthy action. They will do it,
and the htarUnuii t bodylmrn and aouiburn otdyspepsia will rap
idly disappear. When it lias gone, don’t forget wliat cured you.
Fora Four. Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of the. Noircl*, which
yrednr.esgeneral depression of the spirits and bad health, take
from four to eight Pilis at first, and smaller doses afterwards, un
til activity ar.d strength is restored to the system.
For NhrvoubkKßß, lex Jlkadachf, Nacska, Pain in the Stom
ach, Back, or Side, take from four to eight pills on going to bpd.
If they do not operate sufficiently, take more the next day until
they do. Theeecomplaints will be swept out from the-ystem.—
Don’t wear these and their kindred disorders because your stom
ach lSifool.
For Scrofula, Erysipelas, and all disease# of the Skin, take
tbe Pills freely and frequently, to keep the bowels open. The erup
tions will generally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by the purging and
purifying effect of these Pills, and some disgusting diseases which
seemed to saturate the whole system have completely yielded to
their influ-'nce, leaving the sufferer in perfect health. Patients !
your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself
around the world covered with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, ami
all or any of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your system
wants cleansing.
To Purify tbb Blood, they are the best medicine ever discover
ed- They should be taken ireely and frequently, and the impuri
ties which sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of
the system like chaff before the wind. By this property they do as
much good in prexenting sickness as by the remarkable cures
which they are making every where.
liivsa Complaint, Jauniiice, and all Bilious Affections arise
from some derangement—either torpidity, congestion, or obstruc
tions of the Liver. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and
render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and
the constitution ia frequently undermined by no other cause. In
digestion is the symptom. Obstruction of the duct which empties
the bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow into the blood.
This produces Jaundice, with a long and dangerous train of evils.
Costiveness, or alternately costivencss aud diarrhoea, prevails.—
Feverish symptons, languor, low spirits, weariness, restlessness,
and melancholy, with sometimes inability to sleep, and sometimes
great drowsiness; sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the
skin and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow; tbe stom
ach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the whole system irritable,
with a tendency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious
colic, bilious diarrhoea, dysentery, Ac. A medium dose of three or
four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning,
and repeated a few days, will remove the cause of all these trou
bles. It Is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for
25 cents.
Rheumatism, Gout, And all Inflammatory Fevers are rapidly
cured by the purifying effects of these Pills upon the blood and the
stimulus which they afford to the vital prinoiplc of Life. For these
and all kindred complaints they should be taken in mild doses, to
move thebowols gently, but freely.
Asa Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No Pill can
be made more pleasant to take, and certainly none has been made
more effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill is employed.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS
AND THIS
Farmer’s Guide.
GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE CF THE LATTER
PUBLICATION, VIZ. FROM $G TO $5.
L SCOTT & CO., New York, continue to publish
• the following leading British Periodicals, viz:
1. TOE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative.)
2. THE HDINBURCH REVIEW (Whig.)
8. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Fret Church.)
4. TbE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Literal.)
5. BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory.)
The great and important events—Religious, Political, and Mfli
tfti-y—now agitating the nations of the Old World, give to these
Publications an Interest and value they never before possessed.—
They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news
items, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the newspapers,
and the ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after the
living interest ir. the tacts he records shall have passed away.
The progress ot the war in the East occupies a large space in their
pages. Every movement is elosely criticised, whether of friend or
loe, and all short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from the Baltic, in Blackwood’s Magaaine, from
two of Its most popular contributors, give a more intelligible and
reliable account of the great belligerents than can elsewhere lw
found.
Those Periodicals ably represent the three great political parties
of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—but politics forms
only one feature of their character. As Organs of the most pro
found writers on Science, Literature, Morality, and Religion, they
stand, as they have ever stood, unrivalled in the world of letters,
being considered indispensable to the Boholar and tbe professional
man, while to the intelligent reader of every class, they furnish a
more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of
the day, throughout Ihe world, than can he possibly obtained from
any other source.

CHEROKEE BAPTIST COLLEGE,
NEAR CASSVXLLE, GA.
OWING to the late destruction of our College
edifice, by fire, we are deprived of the occu
pancy of the same for this year. But we are happy
to state that the contractors have commenced, with
renewed energy, to rebuild the same, relying on a
generous community to assist them so far as able.
The Board of Trustees announce that the School
will begin as published in our Prospectus and ad
vertisements, on the Ist IV EDNESDAY in FEBRU
ARY aext. We have procured a good house, con
taining six convenient rooms, in the out-skirts of the
village, in which the school will be conducted. We
also have procured, on the premises, the use of three
small buildings which will accommodate ten or
fifteen young men wishing to board themselves.—
We therefore say to one and all, come on and you
will have good accommodations and the very best of
instruction. ■ * v’
In view of the great loss we have sustained, we
wpuld make a most earnest appeal to our old aub- .
sc fibers to pay up their old subscriptions without
delay. The subscribers to the endowment fund are
respectfully requested to pay, immediately, the inte
rest on their subscriptions for the first year—due the
Ist ult., and so much of the installment due, or sub
scription, as is convenient for them. The same can
be paid to Rev. Edwin Dyer, Rev. John Crawford,
or sent to me by mail. Any additional sum from
any one to enable us to meet our losses, will be grate
fully received. We hope, in view of our calamity,
no other call will be necessary.
