The Woii’ of Scandal. j| Mr. AVilberforce relates that at one S ti'oe lie found himself chronicled as p “ St. Wiiberfbrce,” in an opposing jour nal, and the following is given as an “ instance of his Pbariseeism “He was lately seen,” says the journal, “ walking tip and down in the Bath Pump Room, reading his prayers, like his predecessors of old. who prayed in the corners of the Hreet, to be seen of men.” “As there is’generally,” says Mr. Wilberforce, “*onie slight circumstance which per vqrseness turns into a charge of reproach, pliegan to reflect, and I soon found the jßcasion of the calumny. It was this: I Lvas walking in the Pump Room, in Snversation with a friend; a passage *s quoted from Horace, the accuracy ■w hich was questioned, and, as L had Bnace in my pocket, I took it out and iSd the words. This was the plain ; hi t of wire” which factious malignity sharpened into a pin to pierce my repu f tation.” How many ugly pins have i been manufactured out of even smaller hits of wire than that! “Guido the Press.” It is customary for ministers to pray for everything from the Jews of old down to the sinners of the present time, except the press. It is presumed that they think this speaks for itself or is past praying for, hut when the fact is considered, that the press of lliis coun try exerts a wider and greater influence than the clergy, it is certainly worthy of being prayed for, if there is any virtue in prayer. A correspondent of the Bos ton Transcript, writing from Rye Beach, fays : “ I drove, one Sunday morning, to One of the village meeting-houses, about three miles distant. 1 was particularly •truck with one portion of the good man’s prayer, as singular as it was appro priate and expressive : —Do thou guide tJic press, and direct the influence which it exerts. I never heard such a petition put up before; I have rarely heard one which seemed to he more timely and •ignificant.” A Mistake of tut: Printer. —The principal of an academy, in his advertise ment, mentioned his female assistant, and tile “reputation for teaching which she f hears,” hut tf.e printer—careless fellow ■—left out the which, so the advertise ment. went forth, commending the lady’s | “ reputation for teaching she bears.

E. L. MORGAN, Sec’y. For the Family Visitor. S The Rev. G. J. 11. Prior departed this life mth Dec., 1855. Brother Prior was born July 2f>ih, 1 SIT, and joined the Baptist Church Sept. sth, 1837. Nearly* a year ago, Brother Piuok was prevailed on by the church, of which he was a member, to accept license to preach the gospel, * which he did with reluctance. , Never, I presume, did a man adorn the Chris tian profession more than did the subject of this notice. lie was a man of a warm temperament, and enlarged views—ready to advocate, and assist in auv good work—the fatherless and widoW found a place in his affection—scrupulous forfwholesomo discipline. Otir beloved brother bid fair to become an able defender of the faith. During the greater part of the present year, lie occupied one Sab bath in each month in preaching to the Church at Sandy Creek, of which he was a member.— Brother Prior had devoted much time to the study of the Scriptures: hence there was great Satisfaction and instruction to be derived from all his private interviews —religion was his theme. Brother Prior left behind, a companion and Seven children, besides a number of relatives, to mourn his loss. His illness was of short dura* ■on; being of a feeble constitution, when seized ipon by a severe attack of pneumonia, he was Joon prostrated. When it became apparent to lii in self that bis upon . arth Was short, he expressed no fears .f death, but rather desired to go, having been an object of much affliction during life; bis only regret was his family.— Like the Patriarch of old, he laid his hands upon the head of each of his (fear children, and invok ed a tjicm, bidding them farewell. Upon seeing his family were much affected a; the thoughts of his departure, he said to them, weep not for roe, but act the part of philoso phers.” Thus, like the setting sun, he gradually went out, untill he fell asleep in tbc arms of the kind Redeemer, 1 think, with propriety, it may be said, in the death of Brother Prior, Morgan county has lost one of its best citizens, and the Church one of its brightest g<?ni3. The loss to his bereaved family is incalculable—but our loss, no doubt, was his i?terrral gain. Pastor. Christian Index, please copy.

PROSPECTUS OF TUB TEMPERANCE CRUSADER. [QUONDAM.] TEMPERANCE BANNER. ACTUATED by a conscientious desire to fur ther the cause of Temperance, and experi encing great disadvantage in being too narrowly limited in space, by tbc smallness of our paper, for the publication of Reform Arguments and Passionate Appeals, we have determined to en large it to a more convenient and acceptable size. And being conscious of the fact that there are existing in the minds of a large portion of the present readers of the Banner and its former pa trons, prejudices and difficulties which can never be removed so long as it retains the name, \ye venture also to make a change in that particular. It will henceforth bo called “THE TEMPER ANCE CRUSADER.” This old pioneer <»t the Temperance Cause is destined vet to chronicle the triumph of its prin ciples. it has stood the test—passed through the “ fiery furnace,” and, like the “ Hebrew child ren,” re-appeared unscorchcd. It has survived the newspaper fa/niine whicli has caused, and is ] still causing many excellent journals and noriodi- j cals to sink, like’“bright exhalations in the eve ning,” to rise no more, and it has even heralded the “ death struggles ’ of many contemporaries, laboring for the same great end with itself. It “still lives,” and “waxing bolder as it grows older,” is now waging an eternal “Crusade” against the “Infernal Liquor .Traffic,” Standing like the “High Priest” of tbc Israelites, who stood between the people and tho plague that threatened destruction. We entreat the friends of the Temperance Cause to give us their influence in extending the usefulness of the paper. We intend presenting to the public a sheet worthy of all attention and a liberal patronage ; for while it is strictly a Tem perance Journal, we shall endeavor to tceep its readers posted on all the current events through out the country. as heretofore, sl, strict! v in advance.
