Never give up le P ooa old S,I, P;”
Could the above sentiment be written upon the hearts
of all who profess to be tqpiperance men, wc might
predict, with confidence and swelling hearts, a day of
triumph for the temperance reformation; but the luke
warmness and careless indifference which, at this time,
broodo’erit in some sections with with’ring fatality,make
the hearts of the unwavering/eto sink within them and
tremblelor the prosperity of the enterprise. And whyare
we indifferent—has the cause lost any of its humane ele
ments? Indeed, it has not. It is the same philanthro
pic movement for the reformation of degenerate man,
which was once glorified by thousands of the noblest
and best of our country as the palladium of our liber
ties, and the protecting tegis of our civil and political
rights. Indifference upon this subject betrays in us a
fearful want of regard for our own welfare and that of
our fellow beings.
The free sale and free use of intoxicating liquors, are
rancorous cancers eating away the very foundations of
our commonwealth, and infusing malignant corruption
into its entire system. By examining, carefully, crim
inal statistics, it will be found that four-fifths of the
crimes which our courts are called upon to punish, have
their origin in intemperance. A frightfully large pro
portion of the deformed pauperism which continually
importunes public charity, is created by intemperance;
and immense quantities of the onerous burden of taxa
tion which draws heavily upon the hard earnings of the
go to the support of prison houses, penitentia
ries, asylums and alms-houses, which have been erected
by this cursed perpetrator of crime. And yet, we are
indifferent!
The hungry wretchedness of starving millions, the deg
radation of human beings, the broken-hearts, tears and
sorrows of mothers, fathers and sisters have so often
been made the burthen of discourse, that they have be
come familiar to our senses, and fail to excite sympathy
or interest. Yet it is a tale abounding in truth, and ad
mits of no fancy coloring. Let us, for a moment, sup
pose the free use of intoxicating liquors was a thing un
known to the people of this country up to this time ;
then suppose, in our present state of. civilization—this
1 system with all its curses should be introduced. What
would the people do? We leave every man’s imagina
tion to picture out the scathing anathemas which would
be heaped upon it by every tongue. The filthy plagues
which cursed Pharoah’s Land would grow insignificant
when compared to it, and there would be a simultaneous
up-rising of the masses to crush it from their midst.
It is an astounding fact that men should ever become
reconciled to such a fell destroyer in their social
and family circles. And not only that, but it is fos
tered and protected by them until the area of its wild
ravages is broader, at this very hour, than it has ever
been since its first dark deed, down tothe bloody butch
ery of the last midnight. There is not one cheering
spot upon this rum-cursed earth which its gorgon form
doth not pollute with its putrescent trail. It rises with
the minister in the sacred desk, kneels at the family al
tar, controls the deliberations of national councils, sits
with the Judge upon the bench, occupies the jury-box,
expounds the legal code, and pleads the private, person
al and political rights of man.
Every newspaper comes to us charged with accounts
of crimes and casualties resulting from intemperance.
The rum-driven stiletto continually reeks with the warm
life-blood of some driveling outcast who has forgot
Heaven and Hell, and bartered his eternal all to plunge
into the ribald haunts of debauchery. Hourly this mer
ciless messengei of death sends troops of doomed spirits
reeling and tottering into eternity to kindle the fires of
damnation.
Every breeze comes laden with the piteous wails of
starving families, crying for rebel from the scourging
iniquity, yet like the marble Hindoo Deities, our ears
are deaf to their petitions; shame and dishonor will
justly rest upon us. Is there no remedy ? It is no time
to be lukewarm fellow-laborers, for every hour demands
of us stronger exertions. Every now and then some
brilliant landmark is obliterated from our sight—some
faithful pilot swept from the main-deck of our gallant
Ship, and soon none of the hardy pioneers who first
launched, and long and faithfully steered her upon the
precarious waters, will be left to reef her sails ? then
arm ior the battle and cry
Death! death! to the crested serpent!
War! war! on the cause ot Rum!
From mountain to valley the watchword
Repeat, till our lips are dumb.
Follow the trail of the monster —
Trail him through forest and glen,
Hunt him wherever he hideth—
Stab him to death in his den 1
Hath he not murdered our mothers—
Brought their gray locks to the tomb ?
Hath he not murdered our brothers,
Yet in their manhood’s bloom?
Hath he not coiled on our hearthstones,
Hissing with Upas breath ?
On! on tothe warfare, brothers !
Nor cease till he writhes in death.
• Arm for the battle of glory;
Strike for the cause of Truth ;
Fathers with locks so hoary,
Sons in the bloom of youth?.
Mothers and sisters and daughters,.
With your prayers and blessings come t
Death! death! wherever he lurketlv,
To the serpent whose name is RUM!.
Ini elicissimus!
To all literary men in the city of New York Henry
William Herbert was more or less known. With un
certain antecedents in his own country, with a furious
and ungovernable temper, and with habits of intoxica
tion, a long and happy life was not to be expected. Yet
when, a few weeks since, his second marriage was an
nounced, it seemed like a hope of something brighter
and more peaceful—a hope that has disastrously ended.
That he was very wretched, and that he had reason
to be so, no man can doubt. He was born a gentle
man ; his lineal associations were such as to appeal to
every honorable aspiration; he was liberally and thor
oughly educated; he came under a cloud to a foreign
country to live by his wits; he brought with him his
terrible temper; ne fell into wretched habits; married,
was widowed, and married again ; the avenging Ne
mesis came in the form of a history of his faults and
misfortunes told by a gossip to his wife; she left him,
refused to see him, and he shot himself. “You will see
me in the cemetery, just outside of the garden- gate, where
I stopped, for the last time, to look at her beloved face.”
“I forgive all men who have wronged me, and ask for
giveness of all whom I have wronged.” “ Think of
me, sometimes, as a most miserable man.” “I wish a
very small, very plain headstone, with this inscription:
‘Henry William Herbert, of England, aged fifty-one
years. Infelicissimus ’
There is nothing to add but “pray for him”—and that
every kind soul will do. However intemperate, iras
cible, reckless, he may have been, there is something
piteous in his death. It might have been cowardice—it
might have been crime; forno man has a right toshrink
from whatever is laid upon him. But over the grave
let us be charitable. Think how we all love life—how
we cling to it when it seems only misery—how we put
away the thought of its close. Shall we not, then, be
lieve that when a man quietly arranges his worldly af
fairs —says farewell to his friends, and ends it—trusting
that though the human instincts forbid suicide, God
can best judge how guilty he is—shall we not believe
that he was very wretched, and write in silence upon
his head-stone Infelicissimus !
The Liquor Law.
The Greenesboro (N. C.) Times says: The people of
Maine ratified the Liquor Law by an almost unanimous
vote, on the 7th instant. Why is it that some men will
continue to cry, “the law is a dead letter?” Let them
hear the voice of the PEOPi.Eand hold their tongue. ( The
following is put forth by the American Temperance
Union, as the
AMERICAN TEMPERANCE PLATFORM.
Ist. Total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors as
a beverage.
2nd. No license in any form or under any circum
stances for the sale of such liquors to be used as a bev
erage.
3rd. The absolute prohibition of the sale of intoxica
tinv’xiquors tor such purposes—prohibition “by the will
of the people expressed in due forms of law, with the
penalties deserved for a crime of such enormity.
4th. The creation of a healthy public opinion upon
this subject, by the active dissemination of truth in all
modes known to an enlightened philanthropy.
Ath. The election of good and honest men to admin
ister the laws.
6th. Persistence in efforts to rescue individuals and
communities from so direful a scourge, against all forms
ot opposition and difficulty, until our success is com
plete and universal.

The Crusader the Organ of Florida.
The Grand Division, of this State, at its last quar
terly session, held at Monticello, passed a resolution,
adopting this paper as their Organ. We are truly en
couraged to learn of this step on the part of our temper
ance friends in Florida, and trust it may be beneficial
to the good cause in that State. The resolution is as
follows :
Dear Sir and-Brother: The Grand Division of the
Sons of Temperance of the State of Florida met in
quarterly session, on the Bth of April last, and during
io^in^ IOn * amon ” otber solutions passed, wasthe fol*
dissolved, That this Grand Division adopt the Tem
perance Crusader, of Penfield, Ga. as its organ, and that
we recommend subordinate divisions throughout the
State to subscribe to the same.
Moral Suasion.
We are in receipt of a communication on,the above
subject, covering twenty-one pages of foolscap paper,
written in a very bad hand, and on both sides of the
sheet. It has been waiting several weeks forattention,
but its length renders it very probable that we shall
never find time to devote to it. Our friends must re
member that only short‘communications receive atten
tion. *->”
Meeting: of National Division, Si. of t.
This body assembled at Indianapolis, Indiana, on the
9th instant, Judge McHenry, M. W. P. presiding.
Twenty different Grand Divisions, embracing twenty
different States of the Union, were represented. We
have not been able to gather anything as to proceedings
yet. „ •.*. ‘•
Knights of Jericko.
The Central Georgian says: “An effort is being
made, by some of the young men in this vicinity, to get
up a petition to send to the Grand Lodge of the State ot
Georgia tor a renewal of the charter granted to the lodge
in Sandersville some years ago, and which, we learn,
was destroyed by the fire that laid the greater portion
of our town in ashes in 1855. We hope they may be
successful in this laudable undertaking.
Whilst we have no liquor-shops in Sandersville, we
are hedged around with these destroyers of youth and
manhood. Would to God there was not one in all the
ength and breadth of the land.”
Human Natur’ all over.
Here is a fair illustration, in a young way, of that
disinterested kindness we sometimes read of, and one
of the ways one might adopt to render a compliance with
that Scripture which reads, “ in honor preferring one
another’ ’:
“ Now, George, you must divide the cake honorably
with your brother Charles.”
“What is honorable, mother?”
“It means that you must give him the largest piece.”
“Then, mother, I’d rather Charley should divide it.”
Murder iu Hall County.
The Athens Watchman says: “We have received a
communication from the Superior Court Clerk, the
Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff, of Hall county, stating that
Edward Wiley, on the evening of the 15th instant,
killed John Norris in the neighborhood ofPoplar Springs
in Hall county* The murderer made his escape. He
is described as being 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of dark
complexion, coarse, black hair and black eyes, and
weighs about 145 pounds. It is hoped that the press
and the people will take an active interest in his appre
hension.”
Revival in Columbus.
The Macon Citizen says: That Columbus is in the
midst of a religious awakening, the like of which was
never known before. Churches crowded everyday and
night, and nothing else hardly talked of but the revival
in progress. Over 300 additions, we learn, have been
made to the various churches, and the interest suffers
no decrease. May God carry on His mighty work.
An Interesting- Case.
On Wednesday night last, while apparently in the
enjoyment of good health, Mrs. .Tohannah O’Conner
died very suddenly in this city. She wae buried on
Thursday.
In consequence of some rumors that this woman’s
death was caused by the administration of an active
poison, the body was exhumed on Saturday morning
and the contents of the stomach removed, and the brain,
heart and liver examined by Prof. Ford and Docts. Big
non and Ford, but the result of their investigations we
have not learned.
A jury was impannclled yesterday afternoon, by Cor
oner Baker, and witnesses examined.
The testimony, so far as we had opportunity to hear
it, was principally that of Stephen Murphey, the child
of the deceased, and about sixteen or seventeen years of
age. He stated that there was poison kept in the house
for Hie purpose of killing rats, and that shortly after re
tiring to his room he heard his mother exclaim, “ O’Con
ners you have killed me—O’Conners you have killed
me.” He stated that it was a custom of his mother to
drink beer every night before going to bed, and the ten
dency of his testimony was to induce the belief that the
beer which his mother drank on the night of her death
contained poison. The death was very sudden, and
from the testimony, must have occurred within five min
utes from the time of the drinking of the beer.
The inquest adjourned late yesterday afternoon, and
will resume their investigations on Monday.
We understand that the testimony, so far, is conflict
ing; but we trust the labors of the jury will be prose
cuted with diligence, and if it can be established that
i the death of this woman was caused by poison, that no
means will be spared to find out and bring the perpetra
tor of such a deed to punishment. This investigation
is due tothe living and the dead.
The medical gentlemen in charge of the analysis of
the contents of the stomach, and an examination of the
condition of organs they removed from the body, had
not made their report tothe jury last evening.
Can a Rumseller Justify ms Business ?—Says a Eu
ropean writer: “ Let him who sells ardent spiritshring
the practices of his daily calling to the standard of the
Bible ; and when he knows its deleterious nature, and
sees its demoralizing tendency ; when his hands are
polluted by transmitting the cup tothe drunkard ; when
husbands and wives and mothers and children are pi
ning in indigence and hopeless sorrow, caused by that
very article that it is his business to retail; let him in
quire whether he can be a participant in, or a cause of
such scenes, and yet be free from guilt? Let him in
quire whether he can conscientiously go upon his knees
and pray for the blessing of God to rest upon and pros
per the work of his hands ; let him inquire whether he
seriously believes that God will cause casks of whiskey,
rum o‘r brandy to be a blessing to his fellow-men; or,
whether he can lie down on his pillow at night, with a
calm and tranquil mind, when he thinks of the misera
ble and wretched beings whom he lias been helping to
destroy; and some of whom have passed into eternity,
under the influence ot spirits provided for (hem within
his door.”
Excessive labor, exposure to wet and cold, depriva
tion of sufficient quantities of necessary and wholesome
food, habitual bad lodging, sloth, and intemperance,
are all deadly enemies to human life; but none of them
are so bad as violent and ungoverned passions. Men
and women have survived all these, and at last reached
anextremeold age; but it may be safely doubted whether
a single instance can be found of a man of violent and
irascible temper, habitually subject to storms of ungov
ernable passion, who has arrived at an advanced period
of life. It is, therefore, a matter oi the highest impor
tance to every one desirous to preserve “a sound mind
in a sound body”—so that the brittle vessel of life may
glide down the stream of life smoothly and securely,
instead of being continually tossed about amidst the
rocks and shoals which endanger its existence—to have
a special care amidst all the vicissitudes and trials of
life, to maintain a quiet possession of his own spirit.
Some years ago, as Captain B-—, ol steamer Water -
Witch, was passing down the Arkansas River, they
had pressing need of an axe,‘and not having one on
board, at the first landing the boat rounded to Captain
B dispatched an Irishman to the nearest cabin in
quest ofone. Pretty soon Patrick returned with an axe;
but when, after having used it, the Captain ordered him
to return it, he refused point-blank. “ Shure and I’d
spake to the baste no more.” “But what is the rea
son?” urged Captain B . “Shure then an’ I’ll till
yc. Whin I wint up to the cabin I saw a white wo
man fornenst, an’ I axed her perlitely for the loan of an
axe, and she tolled me to ax her husband in the Corn
field. So, yer honor, I wint up to the corn-field, and I
saw a big black nager a standing there, and I ses to
him, ses I, ‘an’ where’s yer masther ? Ses he, ‘ I’m the
masther;’ an.’ ses I, ‘l’m afther ha'ving the loan of an
axe for a few minutes.’ Ses he, ‘Go down to the house
and geUt.’ Well, I got the axe, Capting, an’ as I wint
by the door ses I to mesilf, ‘ Be jabers but I’ll give her
a shmall bit of my mind.’ So I poked me head in the
door, and seal, ‘Ain’t ye ashamed of yersilf to be hav
ing a black nager for a husband?’ An’ ses she, * Law
no! I had a sisther done worse than that;’ an’ ses I,
what was that sure!’ an’ ses she, ‘She married an
Irishman.’ An’ bedad, I’ll be afther spaking no more
to the baste, Capting biggin’ yer honor’s pardon.’ ’ The
“ Capting” laughingly excused him from so unpleasant
a duty.

A distillery at Michigan city, Indiana, owned by a i
Mr. Doty, was struck by lightning during the storm on
Sunday night, set on fire and entirely destroyed. Loss
estimated at $15,000. The distillery was not in opera
tion.
A man, whose appearance indicated that he wasstag
gering from the exessive weight of a brick in his hat,
being asked if he .was a Son of Temperance, replied:
“Hick—no—no relation—not even his acquaintance.”
Says the Chronicle Sentinel of a recent date, “ A
cotemporary asks that Postmasters be required to stamp
letters legibly with the name of the place at which they
are received. If such instructions were issued and
obeyed, the public would be very greatly convenienced. |
I A Lively Honeymoon. —A woman in Lancaster, Pa.,
! recently got a German, named Lochin, to marry her, hy ;
giving him seventy-five dollars. Ever since the mar
riage, the affectionate couple have been on a drunken
spree, which resulted, on Thursday night, the 3d inat.,
in the husband throwing his wife out of a window. She
is very badly hurt.
So says an exchange. Another sad result of that in
human tolerance of legislators, which, for a trifle, allows
any cut-throat to sell damnation to every poor, deluded
wretch that calls for it.
The Nicaragua Canal Project.
The Paris Prtsse publishes a long article extolling
the advantage to be derived from the newly projected
canal to Nicaragua. The Pressc adds that the North
Americans are not content with speaking, but they act;
and while the English take possession of the island of
Perim by a juggle from the Saltan, their ally, the
Americans, rely on tlicir fillibusiers and a collection of
adventurers to annex Mexico and take Cuba from Spain.
The Presse, in conclusion, relics upon the French Go
vernment to set all matters to rights. France, who
would not permit the Dardcnellcs to fall into the hands
of Russia, will not suffer Egypt to become English or
Nicaragua to become a dependency of America.
The above item was licked into shape by that useful
man, Ex. We copy it even while big drops of indigna
tion find their way out of our—mouth, bearing a strong
resemblance to tobacco fluid. Whew! Monsieur Frog
eater is ‘to set all matters to rights.’ ‘Freebooz and
splatterdox!’ ‘would not permit,’ &c. Jerusalem!
and‘will not suffer’ ‘Nicaragua to become a depen
dency of America!’ ‘Did you ever!’ Reach us a

Bound to Keep the Peace.— Gen. Wm. Walker and
Col. Frank Anderson were yesterday required to enter
into their own recognizance before the United States’
Circuit Court, the former in the sum of S3OOO ond the

that they were not able to give security. They bind
themselves not to infringe the provisions ot the neutral

Noble Sentiments. —Condemn no one for thinking as
you do. Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of
thinking for himself. Let every man use his own judg
ment, since every man must give an account oi himself
to God. Abhor any apptoach, of any kind or degree, to
the spirit of persecution. If you cannot reason or per
suade a man into the truth, never try to force him into
it. If love will not compel him to it, leave him to God.
the Judge of all.— John Wesley.
It happened once that the cadi (a judge) of Sarry His
sor (a village near Constantinople) got drunk and fell
asleep in his vineyard; the Rhojah, walking with a
friend, passed by the place, and seeing the Kadi’s condi
tion, stole his gown and placed it upon his shoulders.
When he awoke and missed his gown, he summoned
his attendants, and sending them in different directions
commanded them to arrest the person with whom it
should be discovered. One of the officers recognized
the gown on the Khojah’s back, and seizing him, dragged
him to the Melikemeh (the public tribunal.) When
the Kadi saw him, he demanded: “ Khojoh Effendi
where didst thou find this gown?” The Khojah an
swered in a loud voice, so that all the spectators might
hear: “As I was walking this morning with a friend,
we saw a Kadi so reckless of the holy law he was ap
pointed to administer that he lay in an open field, dead
drunk and asleep. My companion, in indignation, spit
upon kicked him; I took his cloak and put it on me.
If it be thy property, I am willing to resign it to thee.”
“ No, no, Khojah!” cried the Kaji, alarmed for his
reputation ; “it is none of mine! it is none of mine!”
The Fashionable Glass of Wine.
O touch it not! though the ruby wave
Sparkle like gems in the mermaid’s cave.
We find on the pages of civil history, constant recur
rences to the use of Wine as a social beverage; espe
cially among the higher and patrician classes. At the
convivial meeting ot boon companions, champaigne and
other sparkling liquids were among the programme of
refreshments, and considered indispensable tothe hilar
ity of the evening. When friends occasionally met, the
warm clasp ot the hand and cordial greeting must be
ratified by a glass of ruby wine ; and even the roman
tic and chivalric Troubadour, gifted as he was with the
sweet spirit of song, must inspire the minstrel’s strain,
and fortify his courage by quaffing the wine-cup, before
trilling his lay beneath the latticed window of his lady
love. Fashionable dinner-parties were decidedly not re*
herche, if various wines graced not the sumptuous ta
ble, with which to drink the health of friends, or the
complimentary toast; and the reigning belle of the sea
son received the homage to her bright eyes, her grace
and beauty, in an overflowing goblet of the sparkling
beverage. Even in ourown happy America, many years
ago, in every house of any pretentions, the side-board
was decorated with finely cut glass and well-filled de
canters; and “mine host” was considered far deficient
in courtesy and hospitality , ifthe casual visitor or friends
of the house were not invited to drink a glass of fine
brandy, or daintly sip madeira at their pleasure. But
thanks to the noble Washingtonians, ana other bands of
moral reformers, this custom has fallen almost entirely
into disuse; and the pure, crys al streams of Temper
ance, now sparkling where the flower-wreathed but
poisoned bowl once presided. But it is moreparticular
ly of the custom now so fashionable in the parlor or
drawing-room that we would speak. Alas! that la
dies, and especially young ladies, at balls, parties, pic
nics, and even round the sacred hearth-stone, willdrink
intoxicating beverages in the presence of father, bro
ther and their gentlemen friends. And in paying a fash
ionable call, with only female friends, how often arc re
freshments brought in accompanied with wineandotlier
stimulating drinks, that arc coyly sipped, but with evi
dent pleasure by thelady-visitors; and I have seen those
who refused to partake ofthis hospitality, frowned upon,
called squeamish, puritan, and heard it asserted in their
absence, that any one who is so very particalar, would
take such stimulants when it could be done secretly!
Os this, I have only to say, that “to the pure all things
are pure,” and the purest motives can never be appreci
ated by those who have no sympathy with them. But,
oil! youug lady, if you have a father or brother, to say
nothing ot your influence over friends and acquaintan
ces, stop, and think before you drink the exhilirating
but poisonous draught. Dearly as you love your bro
ther, proud as you are,•claim him ; oh, better far see
him lying before you pale and still, with the death sig
net on his unsullied youth, than, by your example, lead
him in the first steps of dissipation, and to the infamy
ot a drunkard’s grave. You may think I speak warm
ly upon the subject, or from ail overwrought imagina
tion; but had you known and felt what I have ; had
you seen the hearts of those you lore, crushed, bleed
ing and bowed before you with an agony too deep for
words; and all from the effects of wine— oh! you would
hate, loathe and abhor its very name.
And he to whom you have given your best affections;
in the sunshine of whose love you only exist; can you
oiler him the wine-cup? Can you lure him to ruin, to a
fate worse than death ? Be not angry, dear lady, but
you surely do not love one whom you can urge upon a
precipice crowned with flowers, when the first false step
will hurl him to death and destruction. You may say
there is little or no harm in a social glass of wine taken
occasionally, but it does harm you; it sullies the lovely
purity of woman’s moral character—and oh! remem
ber, your influence, your example will bind a potent
spell upon the hearts of those who love you. It may
not lead you to dissipation, to an excess that will intox
icate; your woman’s pride, the security and seclusion
of home may save you from such degradation; but your
brothers go. forth to battle with the world, its snares
and temptations beset them on every side; and if they
have imbibed a tasto for wine at home; if you put the
glass to their lips and bid them drink, does it not follow
that they will taste it elsewhere, and at places where it
is presented to them in the most seductive form ? And
can we wonder that gentlemen drink intoxicating bev
erages, when they see them sipped by the rosy lips of
ladies, and their merits and flavor commented upon with
the judgment of a connoisseur? If woman whom they
regard with homage and respect; whom they look upon
as an embodiment of virtue and purity, can thus sully
her lips, can we expect them to maintain their integri
ty ? If you offer them the cup with your own fair hands,
and with beaming smiles, insist upon their tasting it,
can you wonder that they are often unable to refuse,
and accept the proffered beverage, though a serpent is
coiled beneath its ruby waves? I have heard some
young gentlemen say, that though not in’ the habit of
drinking wine, and opposed to its use, their moral cour
age had been insufficient to resist the temptation when
presented to them by a lady; especially if it was one
whom they had chosen as a “bright, particular star.”
Think of that, dear lady, remember how great is your
influence over your gentlemen friends —and oh! exert
it to cultivate in them ennobling principles. And when
you put the glass of wine to your own lips, look around
upon your father, brother and friends, and dash the cup
to the earth, as you would a beautiful but poisonous
reptile. RENA.

Oh! Sing to me To-night.
Oh ! sing to me to-night,
Some song I used to hear
When life was fair as morning light,
And yet undimmed by care ;
Wheft music lulled to sleep
Each momentary pain,
And eyes which trifles caused to weep,
• - Soon beamed with joy again.
Oh! sing to me to-night,
Some soothing melody,
For visions that were sweet and bright
Have fled away from me,
And left upon my heart
A shade like those of even —
Oh! sing, and it will all depart,
And I will hope of Heaven.
I’m weary of the strife
I’ve struggled in so long,
And would forget the cares of life,
While charmed by some sweet song—
Oh! sing, and I will seem
Once more a child to be,
Indulging In some pleasant dream
Upon my mother’s knee.
Sing me a song of hope—
Os better days to come;
And then upon the mountain-top,
I’ll think of that blest home,
Where golden harps are strung
And full of melody,
And never, by sad minstrels, hung
Upon the willow tree.

There seems to be an earnest desire on the part of
some, to awaken a deeper interest in behalf of Tem
perance here, than exists at present. In the issue of the
. Constitutionalist of the 11th inst., appeared a commu
nication signed Sentinel, in regard to the intemperance of
of our city, and on the ensuing morning, the following
answer in behalf of the sons of Temperance appeared:
To Sentinel.
You ask “ where are the Sons of Temperance?” In
reply to your interrogatory in their behalf, I would say
thatthey are at work still, endeavoring to discharge
their duty to their God, their country, and their chil
dren. Though their operations are silent and almost
imperceptible, yet their inflence has been experienced
by not a few, who can bear witness to its usefulness.
We have raised some from the mire of drunkenness,
and they are now useful and sober citizens. Our limi
ted operations are the result of the combined influences
exerted against us! Members of the church—and
men who, from their social position, are calculated to
exert an immense influence upon the community, are
not simply passively opposed to us, but are practically
so, by their influence and example. It is not simply with
the drunkard, poor and depraved, that reformation is
needed; it is among those who are placed higher in
the social scale. Let reformation begin in the right
quarter. We will not only gladly but heartily co-ope
rate with you and those associated with you, in bring
ing about such a reformation.
A Son of Temperance.
Already there appears to be an awakening among the
the people. May it increase and widen.
Most of persons have a decided antipathy to literary
young ladies alias “blue stockings ;” but if all of them
arc similar to the one I had the pleasure of conversing
with a few days ago, that antipathy is illiberal and un
just. Ido not know whether the “stockings” were
“ blue ” or not—l know her eyes were of a “ melodious
blue.” I passed an evening with several young ladies
among whom was the one I have alluded to, and whom
I will attempt to describe. I shall ever remember with
satisfaction those hours that glided so softly away. This
“odious blue stocking” has not emerged from her
“teens” and when seen, at the first glance, appears to
be the original of Wordsworths:
“ Perfect woman ! nobly planned—
To warn, to comfort and command.
A spirit pure and bright—
With something of an angel light;”
and as the eye drinks deeper and deeper, every succes
sive glance but confirms tbe conviction that she is not
the semblance but the reality. With a high forehead,
indicative of a well formed mind: with hair as dark and
beautiful as the raven’s wing; with eyes that are like
sparkling gems floating in a sea of liquid loveliness —
now radiant with joy—now beaming in tenderness —now
brilliant in conversation —while a smile rivalling the
rainbow in its gorgeous tints illuminates her face, she
presents to the view a form and feature that no pencil
can portray though borrowing lustre from a seraph’s
cheek. Her words fall in mellow cadences upon the
oar—entrancing all by their tone and beauty. Her
voice is
‘JfSojt as rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day ;
Sweet as chimes of low bells pealing
When eve fades away
she is amiable in temper; agreeable in manners;
majestic in appearance ; fascinating in conversation;
and possesses a heart that is a mine of wealth coined
from affection’s purest mint. Her little sister Mattie,
who actually thirsts for knowledge, and possesses nat
ural ability of no limited extent, will doubtless yet oc
cupy a high position in the literary world. She already
asserts her intention of writing a novel, at some future
period, and has selected a title for it quite as appropri
ate, perhaps, as many that are now seen in our book
stores, viz: “ Who was the father of,Zebedee’s chil
dren.” This is perhaps most too metaphysical for a
novel—but might do for an essay.
Not long since I paid a visit to Brotherstille, a beau
tiful villa, situated some fifteen miles from this city.
Its inhabitants are of the refined, intelligent and fash
iohableclass. Thehouses areneat withoutbeinggaudy.
Here flourished, at one time, Brotliersville Division
Sjjps of Temperance, that exerted at the timea salutary
and commanding influence upon the surrounding neigh
borhood. But now it is numbered among “ the things
that were.” Disbanded and broken up by the enemy
of all societies— apathy. Dr. Clark, who deservedly holds
a high position in the estimation of the people, and who
is zealous in every good work, was once a member of
that Division and did effective service.- Oh, may that
Division be royived, and his influence again exerted in
its behalf. A Division in Brotliersville is calculated to
do great good, for it will be as a city set upon the hill
that cannot be liidj
One can scarcely pick up a newspaper now, but what
he will find that a greater portion of its contents cob
sists of “what the press say of Swan &, Cos.” “Spirit of
the press in regard to Swan & Cos.” What care the peo
pie for the opinion of the press when they believe their
views are biased by the love of gain. They are “gol
den opinions” suroly. Oh, for an independent press
that will not bow down at mammon’s shrine, and that
will give to the reading public proper and wholesome
food. w

MACHINES.
On Monday, 21st instant, a serious affray occurred
etween officer Joseph B. Ramsay and an Irishman by
the name of Edward Gallaher. The difficulty origina
ted from the following circumstances, viz: Officer Ram
say, some weeks since, detected Gallaher selling liquor
to a slave, and reported him for this violation of the
law. this highly exasperated Mr. Gallahet, and at a
secrot caucus held by some 25 or 30 others who had j
been reported for the like offence, for the purpose of
raising funds to lee lawyers with, he acted as chairman,,
and boldly aspersed the private character and credibility
of Mr. Ramsay. Mr. R. called upon Mr. G. and asked
him if he had made the remarks attributed to him.
When, without deigning a reply, he raised his hand in
a striking attitude, Mr. R. struck him over the head
twice or three times with k gutta percha whistle, about
12 or 18 inches long, loaded at one end, and which is
usually styled an officer's “billy,” felling him to the
ground, and producing several severe gashes on his
head. He bled very profusely, and is now somewhat j
weak from the loss of blood, but is not considered dan* j
gerous. After a laborious and lengthy examination be* I
fore a board of magistrates, Ramsay was bound over to t
the next Superior Court in a bond of SISOO. The na* j
ture of the provocation, it is thought, will sustain Mr.
Ramsay in vindicating HWtself.
“The understanding makes the man ” is a trite say
ing, but the men who keep a commodity that will fit
any man’s understanding so.nicely, that no matter what
its size, will not produce sighs from aching corns is the
polite and affable firm of Burch & Robert. Friend Ro- I
bert has lately retired from the “society lor diffusing j
light,” and connected himself with the society “for the i
distribution of valuable works for the understanding.”
If the face of the smiling “boniface” is but an index
of the good qualities of his “bill of fare,” then the rubi
cund face of our pluihp friend, Plumb, of the firm of
Plumb & Leitner, betoken# the pureness of his drugs,
winrs, &c. and his fondness for the good things of life.
He will not only sell you pukes, purges, plasters, leeches,
ointment, blisters, cosmetics, &c. but will give you
some’at to drink that will “astonish the natives” in
the “lower settlements.” His soda water is refreshing
and invigorating, and must be good, at least, there is a
great deal of attraction about it, for the flics arc evi
dently fond of taking an occasional “nip” from off the
marble counter. But if you disdain to clothe your un
derstanding, or to satiate the thirst of your “inner man,”
you can store your mind with appropriate food, which
you can obtain at George A.'Oates’ book-store, where
he and his polite clerk will pay pnjjnpt attention to you,
and “show you around.” Here you will find some of
the choicest works of literature, art, science and mis
cellaneous works —moral and religious. If you wish to
seek an acquaintance with music, “the maid of Heav
enly birth,” you can have your desire gratified to any
extent.
“ Praise the bridge over which you can safely cross ”
is a very good maxim; but & ferry will merit the same,
if in it you can safely trust. G. W. Ferry & Cos. de
serves praise, for they always keep the best of hats and
caps for sale, of the best styles, latest fashions, with
gasometers fixed in them toallow the gradual escape of
gas. This hat is a blessing to excitable individuals.
They have, I believe, on exhibition the identical “cap
set” by a young lady, to “catch a beaux” with. To
my mind, it resembles a “purse” more than a cap.
C. A. Platt & Cos. have just received a new-fangled
rocking-chair, styled the “ventilator.” It would make
an admirable “editor’s easy chair,” for it is warranted
to puff as long as it may be desired to, and the editor
would have no trouble in puffing, even it he was short
winded. It is just the thing for a man who is blessed
with a scolding wife: for he can just start the machine
and it will “blow” as long, though not as loud perhaps.
It is just the chair for the young bride: for its soft, ze
phyr-like air breathes of “musk and moonlight.”
We find the following going the rounds of the press,
but two of its principal pleas—that of the greater mor
tality, and the greater tendency to insanity among bach
elors than among married men, have been swept away
by the invention of the sewing machine:
“Marriage. —A plea for marriage, if any is to be re
quired, is found in the following passage from Dr. Hall’s
Journal of Health : ‘That the relation of marriage is
the more natural condition of man, and, in the main,
promotes happiness and long life, is demonstrated in
the double fact, that unmarried adults do not live as
long as an equal number of married people, and that
there are more insane single persons in our asylums, in
proportion, than of married.’”
Bachelors need no longer fret and fume over their di
lapidated hose, absent buttons or fractured garments,
nor have their minds impaired, or their health suffer
from the effects of deterioated clothing, for he has a
friend in the sewing machine. There is no necessity
for the bachelor taking a remedy far worse than the
evil itself, that is, crinoline. The sewing machine will
be a faithful companion, creating no thunder storms
nor expansive dry goods bill. The bachelor club in this
city, of whom I have the honor to be their good looking
President, who assemble weekly at their rooms, sign
of the “Red Shirt,” have supplied themselves with two
of Grover &, Baker’s best sewing machines, where we
renovate our wardrobes. “ W.”

44 A Stray Sunbeam”
Made its appearance in the Crusader of last Thurs
day-strange, indeed, when viewed in the light of sci
ence. The writer of the sunbeam has fine, poetical
sentiments, and is gifted with excellent powers of ex
pression. Pier writings, generally, are noble, and well
calculated to exert a happy, moral influence; yet, some
times grievous errors mar their beauty.
One objection to some of her productions, is on ac
count of their vanity, which is strongly marked in the
sunbeam. After describing a wretched cabin,sheadds:
“ There was nothing of beauty around it, and I, who so
worship beauty, avoided passing it in The
words italicised might have been left out to advantage.
No one who reads much of the writings of the authoress
need be frequently told by herself, that she is a great
lover of the beautiful. However, let this be “gentler
scanned.”
The great error, is the conclusion of the sunbeam, in
culcating the doctrine that God sends some angelic
children here, on a “brief mission;” that “not long
does the pitying Father suffer them to remain in this
world of sin and blight. They have their mission.
Their little life is breathed out in fragrance, and their
death is a lesson to crime-hardened souls.” This is a
vital error, attd a high impeachment of our Heavenly
Father —an error which has blinded the world to the
fundamental, physiological laws of our being—igno
rance of which laws being fostered by such fatal senti
mentalism.
The extraordinary mentality of some children, coup
led with deficient physical powers, is the result of vio
lations of nature’s Divine laws; and when the dispro
portion is so great as to be incompatible with life, death
necessarily ensues. Besides, having “the name of God
written on their forehead,” they have this sad truth im-
pressed upon their being: “ Weighed in the balance of
physiology, and found fatally wanting .” The idea that
our Heavenly Father is constantly “dooming” thou
sands of defectively organized children to an early
grave, or even well organized ones, because they ore
“too good to live,” and allowing “crime-hardened
souls to live on in this world as lias been stated, is
founded in an entire disregard of physiological facts.
, An instance is on record of a child who died of oeer
eating, ascertained by post mortem examination; and
yet, the minister, in preaching its funeral, held forth
the doctrine laid down in the Sunbeam.. Let this iun
damental error, then, be forever discountenanced, and
parents, generally, will have nobler views of Providence
—the Divine laws of our Heavenly Father, and will
learn to do their whole duty toward their children, in a
physical as well as a moral and intellectual point of
view.
Let the laws of God be vindicated, understood and
obeyed, and mankind will cease to murmur at Provi
dence, and truly worship the beautiful in the bright im
ages of God on earth ! GOODWILL.

in whoever painted that house, to leave it standing out
all night for people to run against.”
A Good Name.—Always be more solicitous to pre
serve your innocence than concerned to prove it. It
will never do to seek a good name as a primary object.
Like trying to be graceful, the effort to be popular will
make you contemptible. Take care of your spirit and
conduct and your reputation will take care of itself.
The utmost that you are called to do as the guardian of
your reputation is to remove injurious aspersions. Let
not your good name be evil spoken of, and follow .the (
highest examples in mild and explicit self-vindication. ‘
No reputation can be permanent which does not spring
from principle; and who would maintain a good char
aeter should be mainly solicitous to maintain a con- ■
science void of offense toward God and toward man. j
