Relate. It makes me tremble and sick at hearfe;-when ever I look npon the evil that I have done; I therefore usually look ahead, with the hope of doing some good to my fellow men. But there is one incident 1'will relate. For the lari, five years, a hard working mechanic, with a wife and seven small chil dren, came regularly, almost evory night, to my place, and spent the evening in my bar-room. He came to drink of course, and many a dollar of his hard earnings went in- to my till. At last ho became a perfect sot, working scarcely one fourth of the time, and spending all he earned for liquor. His poor Wife had to take in washing to support herself and children, while he spent his time and what little he eould earn at my bar. But his appetite, for liquor was so strong, that his week’s earnings were usu ally gone by Tneaday or Wednesday, and then I had to chalk up a score against him, to be paid off Wheh Saturday night came. This score gradually increased until Tt amounted to three or four dollars over his Saturday night’s pay. When I refused to sell him any more liquor until it was settled.— On the day after 1 had thus refused him, he name in With * neat mourning breast pin* enclosing some hair, 1 thought, of a deceas-. ed relative. This he offered in payment for What he owed. 1 accepted it, for the pin 1 saw at once was worth double the amount of my bill. 1 did not think, nor did 1 care, about the question, whether he owned it or not; I wanted my own, and in my selfish eagerness to get it, I hesitated not to take a little more than my own. 1 laid the breast pin away, and all things went on smoothly for a while. But he grad ually .got behind. This time he brought me a pair of brass andirons, and a pair of brass candlesticks, and 1 took them, and wiped off the score against him. At last he brought a.large family Bible, and I took that too- thinking, no doubt, I could sell it for some thing. On the Sunday afterwards, having noth ing to do—for l used to shut my bar on Sun days, thinking it was not respectable to sell liquor—1 opened this poor drunkard's Bible, scarcely thinking of what 1 was doing. The first place 1 turned was to the family record. There it was stated that, upon a certain day he had been married to Emily . 1 had known Emily when 1 was a young man Very well, and had onee thought very seri ously offering myself to her in marriage. I remembered her happy young face, and, seemed suddenly to hear a tone of merry laughter. Pool creature! I sighed voluntarily, as a thought of her present condition crossed my foind, ahd With no pleasant feelings. I tamed OTer another leaf. There was tbe record of the birth of her four children; the last had been made recently, and was in the mother s hand. I never had such strange feelings as now come over me. I felt that I had no busi ness with this hobk; bat 1 tried to stifle my feelings, and turned over several' leaves quickly. A: I suffered my eyes to rest upon an open page, these words arrested my at- tention: « Wine is a mocker, strong drink is rag ing; whoso is deceived thereby is not wise.” This was just the subject that, under the VMrf I foe* bad, 1 wished to aVoid, and ao I referred to another place. There I read: - < Who hath woo r Who hath sorrow r— Who hath wounds l Who Hath babbling;— Who hath redness of eyes i They that tor- ty long at foe wine. At lost it bitoth like nksrpent and stingeth like on adder.' Ifoitlike throwing bat once more turned eyes rented upoa fosse woras; , • Woe onto him fori giveth drink; fori pattest the bottle to makoth him drunk.’ I beggared families. In the'brief sleep that I obtained, I dreafried that 7 saw a long line of tottering drunkards with their wives .and children fn Vags. And; a loud Voice said : < Who hath done this ?’ The answer, in a still louder voice, direct- ly it felt to me smote ilpon hly ear like a ptal of thunder— «Thou art the man V From this troubled slumber I awoke to sleep no more that night. In the morning the last and most powerful conflict came.— The question to be decided, was— < Shall 1 open my bar, or at once abandon the dreadful traffic in liquor position ?’ i Hapily I decided never to put any one's lip to' the cup of confusion. My next step was to turn the spicket of every keg or bar- rell of spirits, wine, beer, or cider, and let the contents escape on the floor. My bot tles and decaqtors were likewise emptied.— Then I signed your Total Abstinence Pledge; and what is better, never rested until I had pursuaded the man whose bible has been of so much use'to me, to sign the pledge like wise. Fear not Uach sudden sound and shock, Tis'of the ware and not the foci:! ’Tis but tlie flapping of foe sail, And not a rent mad* by the gale! In spite offook and tentpo'st rcaV, ■ In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail oh, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee ; Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our fears, Are all with thee—are all with thee! And now, Mr. President, I am keeping a temperance grocery, and am making resti tution as fast as possible. There are at least half a dozen families, to. whom 1 fur- nish .a small quantity of groceries every week, to many places equal to the amount tluit used to be spent at my bar for liquor.. Four of my Oldest and best customers have already signed the pledge by my persuasion. I am not going to rest until every man 1 helped to rain is.restored to himself, his fam ily, and society.* A round of hearty applause followed this address, and then another of the reformed drinkers took the floor. From the Chronicle & Sentinel. Tiie Vice of intemperance! The alarming increase, of intemperance, nnd the extraordinary amount of crime and vice growing out of it, are creating a pro found sensation in tbe minds of the lovers of order and morality throughout the land, and everywhere people are canvassing in their minds foe means to be adopted of abat ing an evil of so great enormity. That it is a nuisance of extraordinary enormity, no candid, unprejudiced man, whose opinions are of any value,.and who has taken any pains to observe the Course of events and foe amount of crime resulting from intemper ance and drunkenness, can or will pretend to deny. It becomes then the highest duty of foe citizen, patriot and philanthropist, to deliberately investigate and calmly resolve upon (he most available means of abating such a nuisance. That they have the pow er and that it is their duty, we entertain no more doubt than we do of their power to-a- bate any other- nuisance, and we all know that they have plenty power to abate many uuisahees hot ofie hundredth part so destruc tive to life, liberty, and the good order, peace, dignity and morals of society, as that of intemperance. We have been led to these remarks, by reading the following extract from the Pre sentments of the Grand Jury of Gass coun ty. Similar sentiments had previously em anated from a Grand Jury of foe same county, and also trum Monroe county. The question presented is, of grave importance, and must sooner or .later be met by the peo; pie, to be 'decided upon its merits. ’ Let them reflect deliberately and Uispassionably, weighing carefully the subject in all its bearings, apd then make up their decisions. If they are patriots and philanthropists, they can arrive at but one conclusion, to abate the nuisance, by prohibiting foe sale at retail of intoxicating drinks. We are not unmindful of foe fact that foe utterance of this sentiment will excite among tbe demagogues of foe day and foe ale-house politicians, He little clamor. We are pre pared for all this. We have surveyed foe whole ground. We have watched with a deep anxiety foe progress ot drunkenness, and the-doily increase of crime foe immedi ate consequence of it, and we are prepared , to do our duty, our whole duty to foe conn- | trv oiul oar fellow heimrs. iu A Brim Woman. We find in the Havana correspondence of the N. 6. Picayune, the following acount of a heroic woman, a brief notice of whom has’, been before published: Several women, said to be implicated I* these schemes, are also under arrest. One of these a Senorita Guerra, a young lady of eighteen years of age, of surpassing beauty, was brought here recently from Puerto Principe. Its said it was discovered that she was in correspondence with some, expa triated relative in the North, and at the time of her arrest was found embroidering the lone star flag of Cuba, besides having been overheard to indulge rather too freely in her opinions of the Spanish authorities. The conduct of this girl, since her confine-; meht here, has created a general feeling of admiration, even among the detested Cata lans, from her indomitable courage and in dependence. When asked if she was not very sorry for what she had done, and if she wonld be willing to abandon the pernicious ideas which she had been disseminating at Principe»she replied that her own conscience exonerated her for anything she had done in Venturing openly tt express her opinions in regard to her country’s oppressors, and that those opinions would never change. Belong- ing to a respectable family, and the cell in which she was placed in solitary confinement being without any kind of furniture, the governor of. foe jail, a very human sort of person, felt some consideration for her, and offered to make foe place more comfortable. ‘ You may,* said she, if you choose, send ine a table, a wash basin, looking glass and a bottle of pomatum.,—Would yon not also like to have a cot to lay down upon ?— (there being only a raised stone bench for the prisoners to sleep upon.) < Just as you think proper, governor,’ she replied. ■< I would undergo greater hardships than this; sleeping on cold stones would cause me no inconvenience if my poor .services could in any way conduce to the liberty and inde pendence of my adored country.’ Two or three other females were brought from Prin cipe about the s ime time, charged with simi lar offences.” Ail Editor iff the Bines.

This vil'kge is one of the prettiest places in tbe world for a news paper publisher. Every body wi II find fattltj dh the best yon can, and the editor. who . pliases Himself will stand but a slim chance of pleasing any body else. The subscrip tion list arid good will of foe office will be thrown in if the purchaser will take the type, presses and materials for what tiny are worth, and pay for them, so that there, will be no probability of the present preprh eior being obliged to take foe establishment back and return to the business.
