The idea that the grape culture and home manufac
ture of wines is to be the only cure for drunkenness in this
country, is obtaining wide currency among all classes,
and especially among the more intelligent portion of the
people. But we have serious doubts as to the wisdom
of such a policy, and can but fear that the experiment
will reveal the humiliating fact that the remedy is as
bad as the disease. The appetite for stimulating liq
uors grows by degrees, and a habitual indulgence in
weaker stimulants creates a thirst and prepares the
system for those which Wine produces
no effect upon the drooping spirits and trembling
nerves of the drunkard, and it soon loses its savor to
the palate of the habitual imbiber, when something
more concentrated and exhilerating must be adminis
tered. Whatever stimulates or excites the spirits when
taken as a beverage, should be shunned like the rattle
snake’s charm, or the alluring songs of the fabled Sy
ren. The drunken Shades of Byron, Charles Lamb,
Hartly Coleridge, and the youthful Shelly, tell of the
fearful consequences which lurk in the wine cup. The
fascinating daughter of Perseis is therein concealed,
with her magic and venomous herbs, ready to mesme
rize the brain of the unsuspecting devotee ; and ere he
knows it, he is a victim to her influence. “ Touch not, taste
not, handle not, the unclean thing,” should be the motto
of every man, and especially those who are now temper
ate ; would that we could write it upon their hearts with
a pen of steel as upon brazen tablets, for it is a danger
ous thing to tamper with the intoxicating serpent. One
false step may blast forever the future prospects of the
man, and one glass may loose anchoredthe barque from
its moorings and set it drifting upon the uncertain sea
of life.
The intemperate man who thinks he, at least, will
never die a drunkard, whatever his neighbor may do,
only wakes to find himself drifting down the cataract, and
all hope gone. The sensualist, who lives merely for
his own gratification, drifts into an emasculated old age,
to be tortured with passions he cannot gratify, and per
ish by merciless, agonizing diseases. The undisci
plined, who have never learned to control themselves—
who are spendthrifts, or passionate, or indolent, or vi
sionary soon make shipwreck of themselves, and drift
about the sea of life, the prey of every wind and current,
vainly shrieking for help, till at last they drift away into
darkness and death.
“Take care that you are not drifting. See that you
- have fast hold of the helm. The breakers of life for
ever roll under the lee, and adverse gales continually
blow on the shore. Are you watching how she heads ?
Do you keep a firm grip of the wheel ? If you give way
but for one moment, you may drift helplessly into the
boiling vortex. Young men take care! It rests with
yourself alone, under God, whether you reach port tri
umphantly, or drift to ruin.”
The Boston Temperance Visitor, in speaking of the
importation of pure wines into this country, advances
many good thoughts upon wine drinking. We take
from its editolial columns the following :
“This trade once opened and energetically purused,
cannot fail to be one of marked importance.”
So says the New. York Times, in announcing that
“Mr. A. Swarzer, of Vienna, has undertaken the im
portation into this country ~f Hungarian wines, in their
pure state, and without any admixtureof alcohol.” He
has already, it is said, sent over about 15.000 gallons,
and intends to introduce a much larger quantity imme
diately.
Yes, “this trade cannot fail to be one of marked im
portance.” It may put money into the pocket, ot Mr.
Swarzer—it cannot fail to put misery into the hearts of
fond parents and confiding wives, who have now lit
tle apprehension of the enemy that lurks by their door.
Young men, who have been taught to dread the adulte
rated compounds with which our market is glutted, will
be restrained by no such wholesome fear from imbibing
these “pure Hungarian wines.” They will forget the
examples of others who have tasted, and fallen beyond
the hope of redemption. They will forget the wo, the
contentions, the babblings, the wounds without cause,
the redness of eyes, of those who tarry long at the wine.
They will forget that it is a mocker, which, at the last,
biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. Grad
ually they will lose the power ofself-control, their pride
of character, the esteem of their fellow-men, honor,
reputation, manhood, all —all —that is worthjretaining ,
and stoop to the debasement and shame and ruin of the
drunkard. This is a dark picture, but it is the epito
mised history of hundreds who began a career of de
bauchery by sipping the purest and costliest wines ; and
it needs not the kenjof a prophet to predict that that his
tory will be repeated in hundreds of instances, by the
dupes of Mr. A. Swarzer of Vienna,” through the influ
ence of his “Hungarian Wines.” They may be pure,
” thatjis, free from drugs, but they are wot free from poison.
In addition to the alcohol generated by fermentation,
(enough in itself to render them intoxicating) they
must of necessity receive a large per centage of spirit
to prepare them for importation, and are thus made
doubly ready for their mission of drunkard-making,
when they reach our shores. “Without any admixture
of alcohol,” is a lying phrase, as applied to these or to
any other imported wines. There is fraud in the an
nouncement. In some respects, these wines are worse
than the adulterated—worse, because their alleged pu
rity disarms suspicion, and men who would not touch
the drugged compounds of our fashionable drinking sa
loons and take their first lesson in drunkenness
by swallowing these imported beverages, under the de
lusion that they are “without any admixture of alco
hol ”
There is no safety in tampering with these drunkard
making drinks. The serpent lies coiled at the bottom
of the goblet, and watches for his prey. There are
hates and shames and agonies, there are crimes and
curses and ruin, in every cask. All of these are for
somebody, and none who drink are authorized to say—
“ They are [not for me.” Let the accursed stuff alone.
He who scrupulously abstains from the first cup, is safe.
Others may be but ten thousand despairing voices
from desolate homes, and damp prison cells, and reek
ing dens of debauchery, cry out the terrible addendum—
“And they may not /”
Teem of Life.— The English people exercise ade
gree of care and vigilance in the collection of statistical
facts, touching life, health and disease that gives them
and the World very important and striking conclusions.
To the calculations of longevity made in the usual man
ner of insurance companies, they add the fact of intem

At twenty years of age an intemperate man mav ex
pect to live fifteen and a half years longer, while a tem
perate man ot the same age may expect to live forty
four years longer. At thirty an intemperate man will
probably live fourteen years longer; a temperate man
thirty years longer. At forty an intemperate man will
ordinarily live twelve years longer, while a temperate
man will live twenty-nine years longer.
Temperance Facts.
It is a faet that nine-tenths of the inmates of our
poor-housee were brought there directly or indirectly
by the use of ardent spirits.
It is a fact that three-fourths of all the convicts in
prison were hard drinkers previous to the commission
of the crimes for which they are imprisoned.
It is a fact that the greatest sufferers from disease,
and those whose maladies are the most difficult to cure,
are those who are addicted to the use of ardent spirits.

The Faithful Centurion,
Is the title of a small work from the able pen of Dr.
N. M. Crawford, the beloved President of Mercer Uni
versity, showing that the proper meaning of the Greek
word doulos is slave, and should be so translated; also,
that the Centurion whom Christ so highly commended,
was a slaveholder. The author adduces the testimony
of all the most learned and distinguished lexicographers,
critics and commentators, from which it will be scon
that they all dbneur in tho idea that doulos means a
slavo and not a hired servant. The evidence hero
brought forward is sufficient to satisfy every abolitionist
and doubting Thomas upon that point, and wc most
especially commend the volume to the careful reading
of our northern brethren. A perusal of it will repay any
one, for it is complete and unanswerable. Wc make
here a couple of extracts:
“ McKnight says: ‘Though the word doulos prop
erly signifies a slave, our English translators, in all
places where the duties of slaves are inculcated, have
justly translated it servant: because anciently’ [note
the reason, good reader,] * the Greeks and Romans had
scarce any servants but slaves, and because tho duties
of the hired servant, during the time of his service, are
the same with those of the slave. So that what the
apostle said to the slave was, in effect, said to the hired
servant. Upon these principles, in translations of the
Scriptures designed for countries where slavery is abol
ished, and servants are freemen, tho word doulos may,
with truth, be translated a servant
‘Oh! most lame and impotent conclusion!’ Are we,
then, to have two translations: one for a slave-holding
people, the other for a people ofhired servants ? Is the word
of God to be changed because the political institutions
of a country are changed? Mu9t we translate Ist Pet.
2: 17, ‘ Honor the President’ because we have abolished
monarchy ? Or can the abolition of slavery vary the
immutable precopts of the Holy Spirit? McKnight’s
authority, nevertheless, is strong, that a translation de
signed to be used where there are slaves, ought to ren
der the word property. I usk, in all kindness and long
suffering, if we, who hold slaves, have not long enough
suffered in the opinion of our biethrenof the free States,
because tho word of God has not been ‘ properly’ trans
lated?”
* ® * * * e e o
The following arc tho concluding ideas and summary
of the book:
“More numerous quotations might haveFeen made,
but it is feared that even these are too tedious. My
object, however, has been to have full proof. In the
first part of this article, the unvarying testimony of
learned men was exhibited; and in the latter part, ail
appeal has been made to the use of the Greek language
itself. From the quotations here given, all may under
stand the meaning of the words under consideration.
It has been shown that they arc used as implying—
-Ist. A conditien opposed to that of freedom.
2d. A service opposed to that of a hireling.
3d. A condition in which the individuals specified
were bought and sold, and held in subjection forever,
like any other property.
4th. A condition in which the individuals specified
were considered and called things, tools, possessions,
inheritances; and at the death of the proprietors, be
came, in like manner, the property of their children.
sth. A condition involving all the circumstances of
tho most absolute slavery.
If there is meaning in words, is it not clear that the
doulos of tho Centurion was his slave, and that the man
of whom Jesus said, “I have not found so great faith,
no, not in Israel,” was a slaveholder? Can stronger
proof be adduced to show that Jesus died upon the
cross ?
There is also another Centurion who was a slavehol
der, Cornelius, the just man, who feared God, in whose
behalf two miraculous visions appeared, and upon whom
the Holy Spirit fell —the just Cornelius, also, was a
slaveholder. He sent two of his slaves, oiketas, to
Peter, Acts x. 7.
It is no part of my design to discuss the slavery ques
tion in any of its bearings. I therefore stop here and
refrain from making any reflections on the facts pre
sented in these cases, or from commenting on other
passages in the Word of God. Here is the higher law
before which we bow. Christ commended the “so
great fait hit of a slaveholder. The Holy Spirit blessed
the faith of a slaveholder. The apostles of Jesus ac->
knowledged fellowship with a slaveholder. In spite of
all this, our Northern brethren denounce thousands of
Christians who walk by faith and exhibit the graces of
the Spirit, bringing against them no other charge than
that, like the Centurion, they own slaves who also are
“dear unto” them, and for whom, when they are “ sick
and ready to die,” they exercise the tenderest care.
Ought these things so to be?”
Death off Hawkins the Temperance Lecturer.
The New Haven Palladium, speaking of John H. W.
Hawkins, whose death we have in a previous issue no
ticed, and whose name stands in such prominent con
nection with the “Washingtonian” Temperance move
movement, says: “The man whose death is thus an
nounced, will he remembered by thousands in the United
States for the most affecting story which he told of the
sufferings of himself and family from his habits cf
intemperance. His daughter “Hannah” was his guar
dian angel, and her name will always be associated with
that of him, because, indeed, she was his guardian angel,
and was made so prominent in his thrilling story. —
Hawkins probably did more for the cause of temperance
than any other man, living or dead : because of his
peculiar experience—his advocacy of the principles of
moral suasion and his doctrine of total abstinence, and
beciuse of the peculiar pathos and artless eloquence with
which he detailed his sufferings and those of his daugh
ter Hannah. His power of speech was almost irresis
tible, and yet he was not a cultivated man; on the
contrary, he was, in some respects, illiterate, though
possessing a good mind, and having much experience
with the world in most of its varying phases. For the
time in which he appeared before the public, probably
he was the most eloquent and efficient advocate then on
the stage, or that has since appeared on it, not even ex
cepting Mr. Gough.”
To which the Patriot, of Baltimore, adds: “It is
with feelings of no ordinary sadness that we chronicle
the death of John H. W. Hawkins. Born and reared to
man’s estate in the Monumentol City—a number of his
relatives and friends still residing ’here—we feci con
strained to pay this tribute of respect, and to join with
his numerous friends in adding our testimony to his
worth as a man, a Christian and a friend to humanity.
His father, long since gone to his reward, was one of
tlie early and leading members of the Methodist Epis
copal Church in this city ; and his son, though for many
years the unfortunate slave of intemperance, yet, since
the organanization of the Washingtonian temperance
movement, he, as one of the original members, was
steadfast to the faith, and instrumental in inducing
hundreds, if not thousands, of his fellow-beings to for
sake the intoxicating bowl.”
A Long Concealed Murder Revealed.
A dog recently brought a skull to his master in the
woods, near Detroit, Mich, and on investigation the
body of a railroad conductor, named John Hickey, for
merly of Georgia, was discovered. He must have been
killed nearly a year ago. An Irishman, named Kenne
dy, is suspected of the murder, but he has escaped-
The Detroit Free Press says:
Wc have here a case which does not often occur. A
man is murdered, robbed and left in the woods in the
midst of a swamp. The murder remains a secret for
nearly a year, and is finally revealed by a dog which
brings the skull of the murdered man to his master,
having gnawed it for his supper. The letters found re
veal the name of the murdered man and the murderer,
after the silence of months had rested upon the terrible
deed.
The murderer is tracked from one extremity of the
Union to the other, three times escapes as if by the in
terposition of a supernatural aid, and still remains at
liberty. The proofs that can be brought against him
are overwhelming, and would result in his conviction
if he could be found. The facts, until now, have been
confined to those first cognizant of them, but so long a
time having elapsed, t lie propriety of making them pub
lic is no longer doubtful. The murderer is thought to
be somewhere in the North, probably in Illinois or some
other Western State.

Female Admission by Measurement— According
to the Courner de Charleroi the lessees of dancing sa
loons in Belgium complain bitterly of the falling o ft in
their receipts, occasioned by the extra space now occu
pied by crinolines. An instrument, called the“Crino
limetre,” has consequently been adopted by some of
them, and persons whose crinoline surpass a fixed de
velopment are charged an extra admission fee. At a
ball given at Montigny, in Belgium, one female was
measured and charged an extra 75 centimes; another
person, of an economic disposition, preferred reducing
her crinoline by taking out two hoops.

Red and White Wheat.
The following curious and interesting revelation is
taken from the Chambersburg (Penn.) Spirit. The
question is asked by a cotemporary, whether Virginia
and North Carolina farmers have noticed anything of
the sort in their wheat fields ; and if they have to com
municate the fact to the public. The paragraph is as
follows :
“From what we hear from our country friends, and
see iu our.exchange papers, it appears that the weevil
confines his destructive operations exclusively to white
wheat. In some instances, where part of the field was
in white wheat and the remainder in red, the white was
destroyed whilst the red sustained no injury whatever.
In Lancaster county, many of the farmers intend to
raise red wheat altogether till the weevil disappears,
and it might be well for our Frankling county farmers
to do so too. In some parts of Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania the wheat crop was almost entirely des
troyed for several years in succession by the weevil. If
its ravages can be stopped by cultivating red wheat
only, our farmers will certainly do well to give the
the white wheat the good by till the weevil disappears.”
Speaking out in Dreams.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch —a re
markably good paper for its size, by the way —tells the
following in a letter from one of the Springs:
An amusing incident occurred on the cars of the Vir
ginia and Tennessee road, which must be preserved in
.print. It is too good to be lost. As the train entered
the Big Tunnel, near this place, in accordance with the
usual custom a lamp was lit. A servant girl accom
panying her mistress, had sank into a profound slum
ber, but just as the lamp was lit she awoke, and, half
asleep, imagined herself in the infernal regions. Fran
tic with fright, she implored her Maker to have mercy
on her, remarking, at the same time, “the devil lias got
me at last.” Her mistress, sitting on the scat in front
of the terrified negro, was deeply mortified, and called
upon her—“ Mollie, don’t make such a noise ;itisl, be
not afraid.” Thopoor African immediately exclaimed,
“Oh, missus, dat you ; jest what I ’spccted ; I always
thought ifeber I got to de bad place 1 would see you
dar.” These remarks were uttered with so much vehe
mence that not a word was lost, and the whole coach
became convulsed with laughter. The lady seemed to
regret she had spoken at all, if the crimson blush which
suffused her cheek be any evidence of confusion.
Arrest of a Female Murderer.
On Saturday week, at Cheshire, Ct. a woman named
Stevens, wife of Gilbert Stevens, was strangled to death
by a woman named Tobin. The case is a very singu
lar one. The disclosures at present rest principally on
the statements of Mrs. Stevens’ mother, an old woman
of 97 years, who also received injuries which it is sup
posed will cause her death. It seems that the woman
Tobin, who is a vagrant, has been in the habit of visit
ing Stevens, against which the females of the family
naturally remonstrated. On Thursday she visited Ste
vens, and in the night or morning the neighbors heard
a noise and disturbance in the house. On going there,
Mrs. Stevens was found dead in bed, with her husband
in a drunken sleep by her side. Old Mrs. Stevens was
also suffering severely from the effects of a beating she
received. She said that the woman, Tobin, had beaten
Mrs. Stevens to death, and had also choked her. She
said that she heard her son request the Tobin woman
to kill his wife, as she had lived long enough, and he
wanted to get rid of her. Tobin had left the house and
had been seen on the road to New Haven. A search
was made, and early on Saturday morning she was ar
rested and sent to Chesire on Saturday night for an ex
amination. The physicians say that Mrs. Stevens died
of strangulation, and that it is probable that the old
woman will die of her wounds.
Execution ill Wheeling-—A Horrible Confes
sion.
On Friday, John Burns was executed at Wheeling,
Va., for the murder of Mary Ann Montony, an aban
doned woman, on the night of the 15th of May. Ac
cording to the confession of the murderer, the deed was
one of the most brutal on record. The parties were
out on a hill near Wheeling, with other degraded per
sons. The deceased had formerly been a mistress of
Burns. How he got rid of her, the following extract
from his confession tells :
They were all sitting around one place and another.
It had rained some. I went off some distance with Ma
ry Montony. She came back first, I believe. When
we came back, several ot us were lying down around
the fire. I was not standing up when I stabbed her
with the knife, as was testified. I suppose I stabbed
her about thirty times. I carried my pocket-knife. It
was a large sized one. She didn’t move or say a word
as I stabbed her. It did’nt appear to hurt her. She
didn’t try to get away. Last time I hit her against her
rib. It made my blood run cold. She had a sack on,
and sometimes the knife sort of caught in that. I was
mad about her being out with Rodenbaugh. She ap
peared to like him, and pay more attention than to me.
I was sober when I hit her. Hadn’t taken any liquor
then for a good while. I hit her with the handy billy,”
as was testified. Myers and I went to the mill to dry
ourselves. We talked the matter over there. Myers
said that we would get into a scrape, and we had better
go back and kill her. He proposed that we should lake
a shovel along. This last I refused to do. About 8
o’clock, he (Myers) and I started up the hill. Wefound
her standing up beside the fire—she seemed to be trying
to dry her clothes. I commenced talking with her.
She said that she was in misery, and wished that she
could get down to the river, so that she might drown
herself. I asked her if she would like to be rid of her
misery. She said she would. Says I, if I had a pistol,
I would put her out. When I was talking with her,
Myers was sitting down. He spoke up and said that I
was a damned foolfortalkingtoher. Said he, “kill her
right at once, and let’s go down.” I still kept on talk
ing to her —say about 15 minutes. Myers kept on urg
ing me. Said it would be too late, and that somebody
would come along. I then picked up a stone and hit
her. She saw me pick up the stone, and put up her
hands around her head. I wanted to stun her so that
I could kill her at one blow. She fell at the fourth
throw. She held up her hands and legs to keep me from
hitting her. I threw at her three times. Broughtblood
every time. I then took up a heavy, sharp pointed
stone. Hit her twice with this. Didn’t say a word
while I was killing her. Myers was setting back laugh
ing, and telling me to hurry. After the first three
throws, Myers got up and hit her with a small sharp
stone. He hit her and back. He seemed
scared l stayed behind and kept on hitting her. I did
not think she was dead until I saw her brains come
out.
There were nearly 10,00(£pcrsons present at the exe
cution, of whom one third were women. The Wheel
ing Times says:
At about 10 o’clock the prisoner’s irons were taken
off, and shortly after he was dressed in a pair of white
pantaloons, a white shirt, and lead-colored linen frock
coat, and a pair of patent-leather slippers. The rope
was then placed around his neck, and his arms pinioned
at the elbows. Over the whole was placed a very neat
shroud, which was pinned up close under his chin, to
conceal the rope. He spoke a few moments to tho
Sheriff, during which time he seemed much affected.
Mr. Perkins spoke to him and he shortly regained his
composure, after which he was removed from the jail to
the omnibus.
In the omnibus, and while passing up Maine street,
he observed among the crowd one of his former acquain
tances, and said to Mr. Perkins, mentioning the name
of the boy, “Os all my.companions that is the only one
I can see in this crowd. He was always a good boy and
minded what his parents told him.” He also asked Mr.
P. to say to hislSunday school scholars that if they would
mind what their parents and teachers told them, they
would have no difficulty in getting along, and above all
to keep off the streets at night, as it is at night that
all the mischief is done.
At 11 o’clock the prisoner was placed in a large four
horse omnibus, accompanied by those who were to be
with him on the scaffold, and immediately proceeded
down Monroe and up Main street to the scene of execu
tion, the Virginia State Fencibles, thirty-five inen,
Major Loring in command, acted as guard.
Arrived at the ground, the prisoner walked up the
slight ascent to the scaffold and on it, supported by the
Sheriff and jailor Smith. He walked with firmness,
looking around and nodding familiarly to those he knew
in the crowd. He took a seat on the scaffold, and being
asked by Mr- Smith ii he wanted anything, replied
that he would like to hour Cohagen, the tenor drummer
of the Fencibles band, piny a lively tune.
Mr. Perkins spoke feelingly to the unfortunate man,
reminding him of the eminent peril in which not only
his body but his soul was placed. He bid farewell to
all present. The Sheriff then adjusted the rope upon
his neck and attached it to the cress beam. Mr. Smith
placed the cap over his head—there was a moment of
profound silence—tho spring was touched and John
Burns was in eternity. , . . ,
It was intended to, give him a fall of about three feet,
but in consequence ofa slight slip in the rope on the
cross beam, the fall was increased to near five feet. Af
ter hanging about ten minutes, the physicians proceeded
to make an examination of the body, during which the
noose upon the neck slipped and he fell. He was pro
nounced dead by the attendant physicians, and thus
John Burns, in the prime of youth and strength, passed
from life to the dark valley of the shadow of death.
Suicide Caused by an Incurable Cancer.
The Concord (N. H.) Patriot reports that Mr. Jus
tus Blake, a well to do farmer, about seventy years old,
hung himself in the shed attached to his house, in
I Northumberland, on tho 13th tilt. He was afllicted
I with an incurable cancer which had destroyed his nose
and nearly one side of his face and one eye. He seems
to’have taken advantage of the accidental absence ofcv
ery member of his family to end his misery with his
life.

rives! He wished to know what it contained. Still, in
jest, she retreated—the king following her, still more
piqued. He begged her to allow him to read the letter
stretching out his hand to take it. She thrusts it into
the bosom of her dress. Louis stopped short suddenly,
and knew not what to do; but the queen was present
and saw all the little charade. She did a daring thing,
which might have resulted in the most important con
sequences. She seized the young girl’s hands, and
held them, so that the king might take the letter. But
Louis the Thirteenth was in a still worse perplexity.
He had recourse to an expedient, ridiculous, but admi
rable; and, taking up a little pair of silver pinchers
which were at hand, removed the letter chastely, and
without the slightest rudeness, from its delicate hiding
place.
Amusing Speech.
An Eastern paper gives the following as the recent
speech of an involuntary candidate for Congress. We
suppress the name of the speaker and of the theatre of
his eloquence:
“Gentlemen, I have a very bad cold, and my lungs
are affected. I have been to New York on business,
and when I returned I was indignant at seeing my name
posted with others to speak. Yes, 1 was almost indig
nant. lam no public speaker. The nomination was
thrust upon me. You are a good looking set of men.
1 was pleased when walking down this road to see your
houses. They are a good deal better than the huts in
the South.
the speaker brolfe down, and turned round to
Elder I eck in dismay. The Elder gave him a nudge,
and though evidently scared, ho went on.]
“I have seen a black woman on a plantation in the
South, holding a plough when it rained.”
[Here he made an uneasy motion, as if his coat hurt
him awfuliy under the arms, when the Elder gave him
a wicked look, and he plucked up courage and made
one more effort.']
“There is Kansas ought to be taken care of. I know
you to be tired alter listening to my friends, and therefore
I give away.”
[And be did give away.]
Itobert Barns.
1 lie house in which Robert Burns was born has be
come a licensed grogshop. Shame onScotland. Well,
says the Glasgow Commonwealth:
“We do not put heroes into bung-holes, knowing
them to be heroes, and bung-holes to be holes for bungs.
Other bungs do as well, or, in fact, better, and heroes
may have other and better uses. Scotland, however,
is a convicted criminal in this respect, and she requires
an improvement in her taste. She has her national
idol—a Moloch that devours her children, and to this
said Moloch she devotes the memory of her wise men
and prophets, her hero warrior and her bards. If she
can found no other monument, she can found a “spirit
shop,” and pour libations of liquid fire down the thirsty
throats of the living, out of honor to the illustrious
dead. “In this house,” says an inscription on a little
cottage not far from Ayr, “ Robert Burns, the Ayrshire
poet, was born and on the same cottage, at the other
side of the open door, is inscribed the announcement in
similar, though larger, letters, that the said cottage is
“licensed to sell spirits, porter and ale.” What Goths
or Vandals, we should like to know, licensed the birth
place of the poet for such a purpose? No wonder that
strangers, from other lands, come to Scotland and
brand her as the most drunken country in Europe,
which unfortunately is not true, when we present, to
their amazement, the Wallace Tower public house, and
the cottage where Burns was born, converted into a lit
tle mean, contemptible, road-side drinking-shop.”
Meeting’ a Sermon.
Archdeacon Leighton, returning home one morning,
was asked by his s’stcr, “Have you been hearing a ser
mon ?” “I have met a sermon,” was the answer. The
sermon he had met was a corpse on its way to the grave;
the preacher was Death. Greatest of street preach
ers! No laws nor penalties can silence him. No tramp
of horses, nor rattling of carriages, nor a rush and din
of crowded streets, can drown his voice. InHeathcn,
Papal and Protestant countries, in monarchies and free
states, in town and country, the solemn pomp of his
discourses is ever going on. In some countries a man is
imprisoned for ever dropping a tract. But what prison
will hold this awful preacher? What chains will bind
him? He lifts up his voice in the very presence of ty
rants, and laughs at their threats. Fie walks unob
structed through the midst of their guards and delivers
those messages which trouble their security and em
bitter their pleasures. If we do not meet his sermons,
still we cannot escape them. He comes to our abodes
and taking the dearest objects of our love as his text,
what terrible sermons does he deliver to us ! O what
weeping audiences sometimes has this silent preacher!
Yet there is a secret doctrine, an occult meaning, run
ning through his discources, which is often not appre
hended. Few “lay it to heait.” His oft repeated ser
mons still enforce the same doctrine, press upon us the
same exhortation. “Surely, every man walketh in a
vain show. Surely they are disquieted in vain. Here
there is no continuing city. Why are you laboring for
that I will presently take from you and give to anoth
er ? Take no thought for the morrow. Prepare to meet
thy God.” -
Fearful Death of an Insane Man—Suicide on
the Steamboat, Hero.
On the passage up the river (says the Albany States
man) of the steamboat, Hero, Tuesday night, a most
fearful tragedy was enacted. Soon after the boat had
left her dock, it was discovered that a German, among
the passengers, was insane. Flis conduct became so
wild that it was found necessary to restrain him, and so
he was tied down to some bales on which to sleep.
About one o’clock in the morning, when all but the
watch had retired, he managed to disengage himself,
and commenced prowling about the boat. The gang
way doors being locked, he was prevented from getting
outside or even up stairs. Becoming enraged in conse
quence, he commenced smashing the glass in the win
dows of the ladks’ cabin and captain’s office with his
hands. In so doing they were most severely lacerated,
and he thrust his hands through the thick glass. Ashe
centinued his work of destruction the frenzy seemed to
grow upon him, and finding himself baffled, he made a
spring and plunged head first through one of the win
dows on the side of the main cabin, taking sash and all
with him. With such force did he go, that lie came in
collision with the upper guard works ol the boat. A
watchman being attracted by the noise made by the
German, opened the gangway door, but not in time to
save the man’s life, for picking himself up, after strik
ing his head against the guards, lie sprang overboad
with a wild and terriffic scream. The boat was under
great headway at the time, and it was deemed unneces
sary to attempt to save the man’s life, as he must have
inevitably drowned before a small boat could have got
to his assistance. And, indeed, he had cut himself so
repeatedly that, judging from the amount of blood on
the deck, he must have bled very profusely.
At a social meeting of his fellow-church members,
among other things each member was relating causes for
joy and sorrow, when, Mr. said : “In my family
ot children I have much to cause joy, and also much to
distress me. There is my sou, , a good, reve
rent and dutiful boy; but there is my son Bill; lie is an
audacious scamp. He left his poor grey-headed father
many a day ago, and it has been a long time since I ,
have heart! from him ; and w hen I Inst heard from him
he waß way up the Galener’s a raftin’ saw-logs, playin’ 1
seven up and hoss-racing; but thank the Lord, he is i
making money by the trip. Jlin’t he, sister ?“ “Yes he 1
is, and no mistake!”
Lovers.— There is not, in all nature, anything sout
terly ridiculous as a man so much in love as not to be
able to conceal it from the rest of the company. Not
only is he ridiculous, but, in time, he cels to be a regu
lar nuisance, and is as impertinent anu tiresome us he
was at first laughable. He is always either extremely
happy or wonderlully wretched, without any apparent
cause. This class of lovers who would give their for
tune for a curl of their sweetheart’s hair, or a piece of
her shoe-string, generally make the worst husbands in
the world.
A little dog had followed his mistress to church, and
wandering a bout the house had become excited by the tone
ot the preacher, and commenced barking in response.
Pr e ' lche - to °k no notice ol him but raised his voice
still higher, and delivered himself with groater onorgy.
, brethren tried to put thedogout.butthe dog
Wouldn’t go; the more they chased him the more lie
barked, and when the confusion was at its height the
minister cried out t
‘‘Never mind, never mind, brother; I can out preach
adog!”
And so he did. The dog got tired of the strife, and
g*v in to the pulpit.

To my Cousin W ,of Griffin, G.
BY IDA.
“We’ve met, dear cousin, but to part;
I feel it must be so,
For duty calls me from this place—
Heaven wills that I must go
vj* ialta^ooc^cc,s rus hing tide,
Mid rocks and mountains free,
Into my dear old forest home,
In the wilds of Cherokee.
Alas! alas! how soon to part;
Oh ! that it were not so—
How sad—how sorrowful I feel,
To think that I must go;
But duty s path’s a holy one,
And must be trod by me;
Lut, cousin deal, when I atn gone,
Oh ! sometimes think of me.
And when I’ve reached that distant home —
Where loved ones wait for me,
In the lonely hours of solitude
I will remember thee—
Tray that religion’s peaceful light
May to thy heart be given,
To cheer thy way while here below’,
And guide thee up to Heaven.
F or sure that far-off better land.
Beyond this vale of tears.
Is worth a life of toil and care,
r Through time’s fast fleeting years ;
Then let’s so live that when w’e’ve passed
From off this stage of w r oe,
We’ll meet again in that fair clime,
Where endless pleasures flow.
That blessed home—that place of joy,
Where sorrow’s all are o’er,
And all the righteous dead shall meet,
In peace to part no more.
Who would not seek this home ol rest,
Where God and angels dwell!
Cousin dear, my parting word
Is, seek thy God—Farewell!
Home of the Roses, Sept. 1 6th, 1858.
[Special Correspondence.]
The following very beautiful production was found
among the papers of a school-girl, residing in the North
ern part of this State; and although emanating from
one of tender years, w’ould not have been discreditable
to one of more mature intellect. The idea suggested
by it is a beautiful one, and demonstrates the purity of
the innate tendencies of the female mind. “A woman’s
heart contains empires of feeling;” and when it is
guided and directed by the Heavenly influence ofehris
tianity, it tends to the promotion of every good object.
Religion has been scoffed at as only fit todclude“ weak
minded women;” from the fact that they arc more ea
sily impressed by religious truths than man; but this I
hail as a great evidence of the natural purity of her
heart. Take away from woman tho mild influences
and restraints of Christianity ; pervert the natural pu
rity oflier heart, and turn her loose upon the madden
ing billows of fashion or of vice, and to what depths
will she not descend? Christianity has done much for
woman; it has elevated her in the scale of being; and
while it has removed the obstacles in her pathway, has
imparted additional charms to her person, and graces to
her heart. Woman’s influence, directed by the teach -
ings of Christianity, is the great “leaven that will leaven
the whole lump” of humanity. Mrs. Heman’s made
use of the following felicitous expression, when refer
ring to Mary Magdalene bearing from tlie Saviour’s
sepulchre the tidings of his resurrection :
‘‘Christ has arisen!” Thou, thou, the sin enthralled,
Earth’s outcast —Heaven’s own ransomed one wert
called
In human hearts to give that rapture birth;
Oh! raised from shame to brightness! there doth lie
The tenderest meaning of His ministry,
Whose undespairing love still owned the spirit’s worth.”
THE INFLUENCE OF CHRISTIANITY UPON THE CONDITION OF
WOMAN.
The history of the world, for six thousand years,
shows that, in the exercise of unlimited power, man be
comes a despot. Kingly annals confirm its truth, and
domestic records proclaim it with a thundering tongue.
Here must be a restraining influence upon human pas
sions, or its turbulent waves will swell higher and higher,
and sweep over the landmarks of reason, honor and
love. The mighty voice of God alone possesses power
to curb its raging billows, and speak the fiat to its
troubled waves, “peace, be still.” But our subject will
not permit us to dwell upon the influence of Christianity
at large, but only upon its influence upon the condition
of woman. To our subject, then, we turn with quick
ened, grateful feelings, ft has often been scoffingly and
deridingly remarked, that the Bible was made for wo
man. We receive and welcome it not in the spirit in
which it is thus offered, but, with joyful and thankful
hearts, as Heaven’s choicest gift and richest boon ; as
woman's holiest, best, most precious legacy. But in
order that we inav truly and justly estimate herpresent
privileges, which arc drawn from tho just and holy Laws
of God, let us for a moment, consider what was wo
man's condition in the barbarous age of the world, and
what, alsa! is still her condition in those countries
where the ameliorating influences of the Bible are un
known and unacknowledged.
Moulded in woman’s lighter and more delicate form,
while beauty decked herbrow, with all the innate sensi
bilities of womanhood; yet, she was condemned to the
vilest servitude, both public and private; a servitude
which opinion, legislation, and custom stamped with
its triple seal, as her proper destiny ; as the mere pup
pet and slave of man, her lord and master, she was
constrained to render the most abject and degraded
obedience to his slightest command, receiving no other
reward for her sufferings and obedience but harsh lan
guage and cruel treament. Sold, starved, or punished
with death for the most trivial cause; and even in a
more enlightened age, among the Greeks and Romans,
where the arts and sciences flourished, where education
was in its dawn, regarded as the mere object of the pas
sions—her charms and youth the only ties that bound
man to her; and to this day, in Mahomedan countries,
and in China, the Celestial Empire, she is the veriest
slave that breathes; with no relaxation or privileges
save that of weeping over the sorrows of her unhappy
destiny. Although, on her wedding day, she is clad in
splendid robes of silk, and decked with jewels of gold
and silver, and her hair ornamented with flowers and
precious stones, she is but an unwilling victim adorned
for the sacrifice, and as a lamb led to the slaughter, for
now, in truth, her martyrdom is only begun. The
state of perpetual humiliation and wretchedness to which
she is subjected, sometimes drives her to the most
frightful extremeties. Suicides, and the most horrible
deaths, are of daily occurrence, and the judicial annals
are full of tragical events arising from this cause.
Now, I would ask what has made us to differ from
these, our unhappy sisters ? To what great cause or
causes do we owe our privileges ? Made in the same
image, possessed of like passions and subject to like
emotions; yet, oh, how widely are we separated ! As
high as the Fleavens arc above the earth, so far arc wc
removed from them; yet, not so far but that we can
weep for their-sad fate. Is it not Christianity that has
raised us from that low, miserable state of degradation,
and enabled us to lift up our heads among the sons of
men as their companions and equals ? Is it not to the
precepts of the Bible that we owe all our advantages
and enjoyments ? Woman never has risen so high in
the scale of being as under the soft sunlight of the
sphere that God and Nature designed for her happiness.
The Christian husband, of this age, is bound to hiswife
by those feelings of tender sympathy and companion
ship which hallow the domestic hearth, and sweeten
the social board. By sharing them with her, his sor
rows are divided, and his joys doubled. Her kind min
istrations and thoughtful care anticipates all his wants,
and alleviate all his distresses. It is fho mild, loving
truths of the religion of Jesus that influences men’s
minds to regard woman’s happiness as paramount to
their own. Let woman, then, with the Book ofSalva
tion open before her, learn her high and precious privi
leges, drawn from its sacred truth, and which tend so
much to her happiness here on earth, and holds out to
her the hope of a glorious immortality hereafter, in the
world beyond the grave:
“ Let man, with impious spirit, daie
The sacred word of God to scorn,
And scoffing hopes and comforts here,
From all its blessed precepts turn.
But ne’er should woman, weak and frail,
Dare cast her guiding chart aside ;
When earthly hopes so often fail,
Where can she look on earth beside ?”
Oil, woman, never upbraid or speak slightingly of
Him who, in His dying moments, regarded her with
Divine compnssion; she, who was the last object of His
solicitude and tender eare amid the unspeakable ago
nies of the cross; who was His first cho en herald when
risen again from the dead; and who will, if true and
faithful, like the watchful and loving Mary at His
tomb, be welcomed, by Him, into the Heavenly Eden
above. W.
When coldness wraps this suffering clay, -
Ah ! whither strays the immortal mind !
It cannot die—it cannot stay,
But leaves its darkened dust behind.”
