Tlie Grand Division ‘
Meets in Augusta on Wednesday the 27th inst. Bear
it in mind.
jS*Wc find the following pointed sentiments in one
of our exchange papers, and as they are adapted to all
climates, we give them a hearty indorsement, and a
prominent place in our columns:
The time is now come for earnest and continued
Temperance meetings. The people have become in
dignant at the noxious spread of lager beer and whisky
saloons in the city, the stench from which fumes up
rankly and offensively at almost every step taken in any
business street. The people have become indignant,
also, at the presumptuous and riotous attempt of a num
ber of beer venders to interfere with the right of free
speech, and to drive from the stand, while he was speak
ing, the faithful temperance apostle, Gen. Riley. When
lager beer attempts to carry as high a hand as that, it
is time for all good citizens to take speedy and decided
steps to put a stop to so baneful and beastly an influ
ence, as prompted the act alluded to.
The people, at least the more thoughtful, are earnest
now in their desires and efforts to blot out the black
spot of intemperance which rc3ts like a curse upon the
city. Boys are forming the most vicious and ruinous
habits under its influence, and are making drunkards of
themselves, as sure as effect follows cause. Young
men are blasting their brightest promises under the
curse, and are acquiring as fast as possible, enervated
intellects, sickly bodies and disreputable characters.
Employers arc being robbed night after night, to an ex
tent which many of them little dream of by the excesses
of their clerks and employees, which are only paid for
out of the money drawer ol the establishment. And
men in middle and advanced years, who wero a few
years ago shining lights in society, arc falling one by
one, at least a half dozen within the past year in our
own city, into a drunkard’s dismal and hopeless gravo.
Under this state of things, this moral and mortal de
vastation, men who profess temperance have no right to
absent themselves from tempcranco meetings. If they
do, they are not true temperance men, and deserve to
be kicked out of the camp. Neither has the pulpit any
right to keep dumb on the subject. Christianity re
quires them to make their best efforts to save the
drunkard, as well as every other class of sinners. Shame
on that pulpit that fears to denounce liquor selling, liq
uor drinking, liquor keeping in the house, and every
species of contact with liquor, for fear of offending some
of its admirers or parishioners! How can ministers look
upon liquor as otherwise than unholy, in all its associa
tions, when it is eating out the very vitals of eopiptf,
as it does in this city, occasioning sorrow, cjj.Hfc, or
death, in almost every family in the comnnnllty. Pri
vate individuals, too, can carry their temperance about
town with them, to their business, and to the ballot box,
and vote for no man who has anything to do with liq
uor. This is practical temperance.
Harvest Drinks.
In a letter to the Mark Lane Express, Mr. Henry J.
Wilson, of Sherwood Hall, Mansfield, says: “lam al
ready in possession of a large number of letters from
persons in all parts of the country, to whom I had ad
dressed inquiries. I find in them a unanimous testi
mony to the fact that when no intoxicating drinks are
used, more work can be done, and done in a better
manner; and the men perform their labor with greater
ease to themselves, especially in hot weather, suffer less
from thirst and fatigue, enjoy more refreshing sleep at
night, and have a better appetite for their food. The
last point is very noticeable and important, as no one
will deny that solid food is the best foundation for real
strength. It has often been observed that coffee-drink
ers have been enjoying a good breakfast before their
work, while beer-drinkers have been lounging about
with empty bottles, unable to eat anything, and only
wishing a renewed supply of the stimulant. In addi
tion to all this, there may be noticed, among the men,
a great increase of good temper, kindliness and cheer
fulness, and a great decrease of anger, quarrelling, and
especially of bad language, to say nothing of the avoid
ance of accidents. Now, to any of your readers who
may be inclined to question the correctness of these
facts, permit me to say, that my informants are persons
in all stations in life: from the landed proprietor down
to the small cottage farmer, and even the laborer him
self; and I submit that they are competent judges, in
asmuch as they have tried both ways, and therefore
have an evident advantage over those who cling, with
blind perseverance, to the old fashioned practises ofour
grandfathers. The substitutes I find recommended are
various: tea, coffee, milk, ginger-beer, milk-and-water,
oatmeal and water, and cocoa; the last in the soluble
form is particularly convenient in some cases. Pure
cold water is highly recommended by some ; but the
general feeling is against it.”
Mr. Gough on Edinburgh Drinking
The Liverpool Mercury reports an oration delivered
by Mr Gough in the Concert Hall there on Monday
night to a crowded audience—Mr. Lawrence Hayworth
M. P. in the chair. He was in Edinburgh, and he went
with a gentleman on an exploring expedition. They
stood in front of a dram-shop from a quarter after eight
to nine o’clock, and saw sights, he could assure them.
Men and women and children went in there. One
wretched little creature, her clothes clinging to her al
most with wet, went with a black bottle and got it
filled; others came with tin pans, bottles and jugs—a
steady stream of men and women, horrible looking
creatures. A man went in with a boy who would not
be over eight years of age, and he tipped a glass of
whisxey down the throat of the boy, who swallowed it
almost without winking. A little wretched creature, a
girl perhaps twelve years old, came up to him, and
said, “Gi’e us a dram.” “Do you want a dram?”
“Yes, sir.” “How old are you ?” “I’m not so old as
my mither.” “You are impudent.” “Gi’e us a
dram.” “Where will you get it?” “In there.” “That
manwon’tgive you a dram of whiskey.” “Yes, he
will, if you will pay for it.” Turning to his compan
ion, he asked, “Is that a fact?” “Yes.” “Well I’ll
goon; I’ve seen enough.” “Stop, I want to show
you the proprietor. That man in the corner, with his
coat off, that’s the proprietor; the man’s an elder and a
trustee of one of the most respectable churches in this
city.” Now, I will tell you, said Mr. Gough, before
you gel a prohibitory law to be honored in Great Bri
tain, the church of the living God must throw out of
her bosom every man and woman who makes money
by drink. (Loud applause.)
Adulteration of Wine in France.
A question of some interest to the wine trade was
two days ago, submitted to the Imperial Courtof Lyons’
It is the custom in the south of France to prepare cer
tain wines for consumption by means of what is called
“plastering”—that is, mixing in them a certain quan
tity of plaster, which has the effect of facilitating fer
mentation, removing the earthy taste which they some
times have, and of giving them a better color. In 1856
a wine dealer, named Cliassery, of St. Martin d’Es
breaux, (Loire) ordered of M. Roux, a large dealer of
Nismes, a considerable quantity of wine, and he sold it
by retail to the laborers who had collected in the village
to execute some railway works. Before long, a consid
erable number of the men fell ill, and the wine was
seized. On being analyzed by a provincial chemißt,
it was found to contain five or six grammes of alum per
litre; but other chemists, who afterwards analyzed it,
declared that it contained “plastering,” and not alum.
To set the matter at rest, M.Chevallier, the well known
professor of the School of Pharmacy at Paris, was called
on to analyze the wine, and be reported that it con
tained a certain quantity of alum, (about 8 percent)
which might have come from the “plastering” to which
it had been subjected, but which, in any case, was dan
gerous to health. On this, Chassery brought an action
against Roux before the Civil Tribunal of Roanne, to
obtain 30,000f. damages. Roux copteifted that he had
done nothing more to the wine than was usual; but the
tr *bunal decided that he had “plastered” it in excess,
and that he had been Buihy of fraud in not informing
Chaßaery of what he had done. It accordingly ordered
him to pay 10,OOOf. damages. He appealed to the Court
fj* Lyons against this decision, and labored to show that
#* a legitimate operation. But
the court laid down that the custom can only be toler
ated when exercised m a mst measure—that his wine
was bad for the health. It therefore said that he had
been properly condemned to pay damages, but that
nevertheless, under the circumstances, they should h
reduced to 5,0 00f.-Galignani. 1

Senior Exhibition.
The public Declamation of half the Senior class of
M. U. came off on Friday last, and was quite an in
teresting occasion. A number of the speeches were
very interesting, and we thought the young men far
surpassed their late commencement efforts.
All the ladies of the village should turn out to these
exhibitions to encourage the speakers.
Error in Minutes Grand Lodge.
The Grand Worthy Recorder, Knights of Jericho,
calls our attention to a small error which occurred in
the published proceedings of the Grand Lodge, in regard
te the per centagepaid the Grand Lodge by Subordinate
Lodges. Instead of as published it should read thus:
The G-and Lodge changed the constitution in relation
to the per centage paid the Grand Lodge by subordinate
Lodges, from 5 per cent, on its entire receipts, to 20
cents for each male member per annum, to be sent up
with their returns semi-annually, viz : Ist January and
July.
non. Thomas'W. T omas.
This gentleman, (says the Athens Banner,) as our
readers have doubtless seen, is announced as a candi
date for Judge of the Superior courts of the Northern
Circuit. Thus far he has no opposition, and we pre
sume will have none. The voters of the Northern Cir
cuit, not alone, but all who are interested in seeing able
men upon the bench, will, we doubt not, hail Judge T’s
election with groat pleasure. His distinguished ability
as a jurist, and determined energy, are suro guaran
tees that his administration of the law will not only re
flect additional lustre upon himself, but be proinotivc
of the best interests of his constituents and the country.
Intcmpe ancc among Soldiers in .India.
It must be c n nfesscd, (says the Homeward Mail, an
English paper,) that no endeavors on the part of Gov
ernment, or of the medical officors, for the health of
European soldiers in India can be successful without
temporanco on his own part. The curse of the En
glishman is drink ; Sir C. Napier has said it; and it is
the truest word ever spoken, that t’ao mortality among
troops is mainly caused by drink. It is false delicacy
to disguiso the fact. Alcohol is the poison of the En
glishman. It is a positive certainty that total absti
nence would save ninety out of every hundred men
who now fall victims to the Indian climate. See what
Sir F. Head says of a beef and water diet—what labor,
what exposure, the European can undergo on such a
diet! But the listlessness and ennui, engendered by a
tropical climato increases a thousand times the natural
disposition of the European soldier to intemperance.
To cure this, then, is the groat problem for our medical
men—for on r philanthropists. Everyman can help by
his example; and if educated men take the lead, we
may hopefully trust tho uneducated will follow.
Au Item for tlie Ladies-Substitute for IKoops.
We submit tho following new idea to the considera
tion of our female readers, from the Vicksburg Whig :
A lady who has “tried everything,” steel, whalebone,
crinoline and numerous other materials oi “extension”
makes known her experience to) the effect that deci
dedly the best process to give the desirable amplitude
of fullness and extent of circumference to the dresses, is
a starched muslin skirt, madewith three flounces, to be
worn over a well-starched corded .‘skirt. There is no
other style of skirt which will produce the effect
demanded by the present fashion, and, at the same time,
that will prove so unobjectionable in other respects. It
is at once light, graceful, and easy, with no obtruding
bones and offending angles, and also possesses the ad
vantage that it can be easily washed. Steel and whale
bone are inconvenient in many ways, and crinoline—
that is, the hair-cloth skirts—soon grow soiled ; but
the above method will be found to give the enviable de
gree of expansion, and, in the long run, to ensure the
most satisfactory results in all other respects.
The Drunkard Saved.
At the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting, frequent are
the requests for prayer for intemperate husbands and
sons, and some of a most touching character; and oc
casionally a miserable slave of the bottle is seen com
ing, that his chains may be broken and he go free. The
following has been in the weekly reports. It is another
case showing that this is a world of wonderful redemp
tion, and is worthy of being put on record:
A few weeks ago, a man was seen walking back and
forth on the sidewalk, in front of the Dutch church,
while the prayer-meeting was going on. He was
dressed in the very plainest attire, with a pea-jacket
hanging on his arm. His countenance bore the very
legible characteristics of a “hard case.” After walking
for some time, he paused; and coming up the steps to
the middle lecture-room, said, to a person at the door:
“Will you let such a miserable looking object as I
am have a seat in your prayer-meeting ?”
“Certainly we will,” was the reply, “and we are
very glad to have you come.”
He went in. Daily, for several weeks, he attended
the meeting, fie had been a man of very intemperate
habits. He left off the use of intoxicating drinks at
once. He became interested in the subject of religion;
and the more he came the more interested he appeared.
After four weeks of total abstinence, he signed the tem
perance pledge, and kept it. He grew neater in his
dress ; his clothing was washed clean, though no man
would have given fifty cents for all he had on. He of
ten was without food, having no employment. But
Providence seemed to make special provision that he
should not suffer for hunger. In several instances, he
found small packages of meat and broad wrapped in pa
per as he was walking the streets. In other cases,
small sums of money were given him, though never at
the prayer-meeting.
His conviction became deeper and more pungent. He
had a very sad expression on his face. He was often
conversed with —often urged to repentance—often invt
ted to come to Christ. But still he held back. One
evening he went to Washington Market to lodge. He
had been, that evening, to the prayer-meeting at the
Globe Hotel, where he had been spoken to on the duty
of immediate submission to the law of Christ. His dis
tress kept all the time increasing. At two o’clock in
the morning he betook himself to the streets to see if
he could not feel better by walking. His sins lay like
a heavy burden on his soul. He could not find the Sa
viour. He walked and walked, and no relief came.
At length, he stopped at a lamp-post, and reaching out
his hands, grasped it. He bowed his head upon his
arm, and poured out his heart to the Saviour of sinners,
and Christ revealed Himself to this poor, miserable
man. The burden of sin was removed, and tears of
penitence and joy flowed apace.
How long he remained in this position at the lamp
post he does not know. He walked the streets during
the remainder of the night, his whole soul filled with
joy. As the day dawned, he longed to meet someone
to whom he could tell his new experience. He went to
various places, but could find no person whom he knew.
Early in the morning, he went to the Battery and sat
down on the grass. He took a small testament from
his pocket ana began to read. He was reading the Sa
viour’s own words, and as he read shed tears which he
could not restrain. At length, a gentleman, who had
stood silently observing him, said:
“My friend, what little book are you reading ?”
“I am reading the New Testament.”
“Where did you get it 7”
“It was givon me at the Fulton Streot prayer-meet
ing.”
“Do you attend the Fulton Street prayer-meetings 7”
“I do; I attend them every day.”
“Do they do you any good?”
“Well, I hope they have done megreatgood. I hope
I have found the Saviour.”

Kansas Sweets.— They are making torgham lucre in
Kansas. A letter from Leavenworth says :
I was in the Quaker settlement some twelve miles
from Leavenworth and saw them making the Chinese
sugar cane and molasses. The gentleman boiling the
molasses told me that the juice only needed reducing
two-thirda to make thick molasses, full as thick as New
Orleans or sugar-house. He said he could make nine
gallons of molasses from seven rods of ground! One
man near Lecdmpton, I understand, would make a
thousanand
gallon. It is engaged at that price. 1
In a Boston meeting said one: “I am as a brand
plucked out of the burning when I was all on firo and
almost consumed. lam thirty-six years old, and was
for 30 years a miserable drunkard. Learned to drink
by going after strong drink for my father, when 1 was
only six years old. I have been a drunkard since, till
about eight months ago. I was picked up in the streets,
hall intoxicated at (lie time, and brought into this very
meoting. Hero, I signed the temperance pledge. 1
continued to come from day to day, and hero I was
awakened, convinced and converted. Here, I had a
now song put into my mouth, even praise to our God,
and I hope to sing the everlasting song in Heaven. Oh!
what a blessed change there is in me, in iny circum
stances, in my enjoyments, in my hopes, in my objects
in life, in my family, in everything. I was poor, mi
serable, degraded; my family the same; when I was
converted, my family had nothing to eat in the house.
Before I went home I found a secret place to pray, and
I kneeled down and prayed fervently that God would
supply us with bread somehow, or open up some way
by which I could get it. When I went home I found a
barrel of flour standing on my door-steps. My wife
said to me, “The carman who brought this flour said it
is for you.”
“Oh, no!” said 1, “it is not for me; it is a mistake;
it is for someone else.”
“Yes; it is for you; he was very positive I should
tell you so.”
I had never dreamed of praying for a barrel of flour;
I did not dare to ask for so much; I could not remem
ber when I had a barrel of flour in my house. I have
inquired of all my acquaintances and all my friends
that I met, about that barrel of flour, and I never could
find out where it came from, nor the carman who brought
it. Now, what a happy man I am. The desire lor
strong drink is gone. I have all I can do, and I am
happy all the day long. I stand up for Jesus every
where ; I am not tongue-tied, but I speak of the love
of Christ in all these streets. lam so happy; I never
expected to see such a day as this; I recommend my
Saviour to all I can ; I never fail.

‘flic Reward sos Gallantry.
There comes to our sanctum the following account of
a rather exciting incident. True,’’tjs a little “fishy,”
but still, highly probable, being one of the genuine at
titudes of a man who takes too much of “something’ ”
into his stomach. Rather indiscreet “gallantry,” but
here it is:
“Thereare people who never undertake todoa“good
natured act” without being, in some manner, suffer
ers therefrom. Paul Pry, tor instance, was one of those
much injured individuals, and notwithstanding his oft
repeated declarations that he would “never do a good
natured action again,” he would invariably go right
off and try to put someone else under obligations to
him for what he deemed his disinterested kindness.
We were a witness a day or two ago to a case in point.
A decently dressed individual rigged out in white linen
from chin to boots, and, withal, very drunk, was walk
ing, or rather dancing, the corkscrew po ka, along the
sidewalk of Government street, when he brought him
self to a lean against the fence in order to get a more
steady view of a lamp-post, which, despite his ap
peals to desist, would dance about, threatening every in
stant to fall on himself or some passer by. In vain did
he raise his hands (in each of which was a string of fish)
to wipe away the haze which obstructed his vision. The
lamp-post would dance. Presently a flashily capari
soned female, all beflounced and becrinolined, came
sailing along, and had nearly reached a point between
our ‘gallant,’ young man and the terpsichorean lamp
post, when he, wishing to keep her from being mashed
by its fall, made a rush to catch and hold it till she could
pass by. But, in his course, making no allowance for
the excit ment of the moment, one string of his fish
struck her on the side of the face, totally demolished a
dear little duck of a bonnet, and the concussion being
great, bruised her dear little face considerably—if not
more. The thong by which the fish were held, was
broken, and two of the finny “produce” found a resting
place upon the fair bosom of the—muslin dress. But
he had secured the post! He had rescued her from the ter
rible fate of being mashed by a dancing lamp-post.
There was a proper amount of feminine squealing and
the due exhibition of a desire to faint, but as there was
no third person to support her, she man fully controlled
her feelings, and didn’t faint. The disordered features
and demolished bonnet were fixed up as well as circum
stances would permit, and the frightened fair sailed on
her course, leaving the gallant inebriate lovingly em
bracing the post. At length, when he had somewhat
overcome its dancing propensity, lie slowly relinquished
his hold, and discovered, oh, horror! that the post had
been freshly coated with coal tar, and that there was a
wide black streak upon his whites from the point where
he generally tied his cravat, down his front and upon
both sections of his trowsers, even upon where the
same ended at the boots. This was dear pay for his
gallantry ; but this was not the worst. The fair lady,
whose face and bonnet he had so unintentionally bat
tered, lodged a complaint against him, and he was put
in the calaboose. The next morning be was brought
before the Mayor on a charge of disorderly conduct, and
we are sorry to say, we had to write down against him
the Mayor’s sentence—slo or 10 days. So much for
gallantry.”
The Beer Halls of Chicago*
One would suppose that the advocates of the doc.
trine, that “beer is conducive to health,” would be per.
fectly satisfied to forego its use, were they to take the
tour of the beer halls of our city for even a single night
The amount of lager, of drugged and poisonous beei
consumed, would, of itself, satisfy the most sceptica
that even were their doctrine true, it were better tc
forego the good which is gained, and trust to more rea
sonable means for the promotion of health.
But this idea of poisoning drinks being anything bul
injurious, is a most erroneous and fatal one. Poison,
as such, can never act as a promoter of health. It is
worse than nonsense to talk such doctrine; it is suicide
to practise it. If it were true, where is the limit be
yond which man shall not pass in such indulgence i
There can be none. The scones of the halls, the bloated
faces of the gugglcrs, tho ever increasing appetite of the
patrons of such institutions, all tell a tale not to be rea
soned away by fogy chemists and physiologists.
But the accompaniments of tho halls, or rather hells,
are what should put the Christian parent and citizen to
the blush. It is true that the programme of a “free
concert” appears all right to the visitor ofanoarly hour,
or as viewed by beer-shot eyes, but it is nevertheless true
that these cells are the great corrupting pools of our
city, the stepping stones to infamy and prostitution for
our young men, and arc corrupting to all classes. ’Tis
not the beer, or the song, or the danco, or the lewd and
obscene thoughts and words there indulged, not either
of these alono that poisons the body fatally; but it is
tho combination of all, each feeding and being fed by
its kindred fellow, that inflicts the fatal sting. Do our
well-disposed and moral citizens know ol what wo
write ? If not, let them see and hear for themselves.
So long as the pernicious doctrine is taught by our
moral and scientific men, that artificial stimulants arc
necessary to the health and well being of man, so long
will these damnable results of dissipation follow. The
appetite is implanted in early childhood, nourished
through all the years of youth; and the lager beer ma
tla with all its prostituting accompaniments is but the
„l r . e ,f t re ® u f l °f this false and body-destroying doctrine
th<. m^| 00 a 'u ll “ e . ed , B a lager earthquako to arouse
tne moral world, and it has c6me in its fury. But will
not the lesson be a dear bought one ?—Home Journal.
f? D Temperance— Six or seven months
ago, Jewett City, Ct. was full of rumshops; but a con
gregational pastor urged, in his discourses, the bless

ot things has totally changed, and the people are as ear
nest, now, for God and temperance, as they were, be
fore, for whisky and hell. !
I.asfcr Beer.
The Grand Division of the Sons of New York at
its last session passed this resolution respecting tin*
well known beverage lager beer: Resolved, Inasmuch
as the question of the intoxicating or non-intoxicating
propetties of the beverage commonly known as larger
beer lias been mooted in certain quarters, we take this
occasion to express the firm conviction of our judgment,
based on the clearest and most conclusive evidence, that
said beverage is intoxicating, and otherwise pernicious
in its effects, and that no one professing the principles of
Temperance should for a moment think of indulging in
its use.

We once more congratulate our friend, Mr. Dow, nnd

The elections turned entirely on the Prohibitory Law.
This was made the great issue by the democracy oi
the State. They hoped to regain their power far more
by their opposition to this, than by any clamor in be
half of the wisdom of national policies at Washington;
and, as the result, they are deprived of almost every
office, State and National. Surely it is encouraging to
see such a result of a long controversy on a great moral
question. The people have, given the opposing party a
full trial of a license system, and two-thirds of the vo
ters of the State are satisfied with it, and wish no more
of it. We do not say there will not be another political
revolution there, which will reverse the present law.

Intern pcranco.
We take the following pithy little extract from the ed
itorial columns of the Eccentric, a spirited little monthly
published in Augusta, Ga.
Beware, beware young man of that incarnate fiend,
that Prince of Dark and Desperate Deeds, which swal
lows up so much of hope and happiness, Intemperance.
Would you ask for evidence ? Surely you cannot; for
you behold them every day in every community ; you
behold hundreds of men, yea and women, suffering pov
erty, disgrace and ruin, all through this demoralizing
agent, “Alcohol” and still many of our young men,
even in the plain evidence of its degrading influence
around them, heed it not, but rush madly on pouring
this fiery poison down their throats, of which every drop
brings them nearer to a premature grave. We can
well say in the words of the immortal Shakspeare—
“Oh, that men should put an enemy in their mouths
to steal away their brains !”
And let me say in conclusion—Beware of it young
man, for every inordinate cup is unblessed, and the in
gredient a devil.
Position of the Rock River Conference on
Temperance.
The following report of the committee on temperance
was adopted by the Rock River Conference of the M.
E. Church, at its rcecnt session in Waukegan, Illinois:
The committee on temperance beg leave to present
the following as their report:
r l he cause of temperance is now generally understood
to be a prohibition of making, buying, selling or using
intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Thus understood,
your committee believe it to be the cause of God, and
as such, we, as ministers, ought to sustain and promote
it by our influence and efforts. We nro under obliga
tions to do so, as a denomination of Christian ministers,
by the broad, general principle of “doing no harm”—of
having no fellowship with the “works of darkness.” oi
neither “eating meat,” nor “drinking wine,” nor any
thing else whereby our brother is offended or made to
stumble, and this obligation is forced upon us by the
consideration that our venerable founder, under God,
gave to his societies, near one hundred years ago, as one
of the rules for their observance, a prohibition of buy
ing, or selling, or drinking spirituous liquors, unless in
case of extreme necessity. The habits and customs of
society warn us that this is not the time to relax our ef
forts, but to arouse ourselves to more energetic action
on the subject; to bring into the cause more of piety
and Divine influence; to see the results of these habits,
not only in their wretched and destructive influence on
all the relations and institutions of life, whether they
be political, social, civil, domestic or religious ; but its
eternal consequences in the ruin of both soul and body.
Forestalling’ tle Law*“An Exciting Occur -
During the session of the ounty Court on Monday,
says the Farmville Journal, an incident occurred which
produced the most intense excitement. It will be re
collected that we noticed the arraignment at August
court of a negro boy belonging to Mr. Robert V. Davis,
charged with an attempted outrage upon the person of
a Mrs. Gregory, residing near Prospect Depot, and the
continuance of the case uutii September term. When
the court met on Monday, the case came up,when, ow
ing to the absence of one of the prisoner’s counsel, the
court decided to continue it again, and had just an
nounced its decision, when Gregory, the husband ofthe
woman upon whom the outrage, was attempted, sprung
at the negro with knife in hand, and made a desperate
effort to cut his throat. The knife, however, missed
his throat, but inflicted a frightful gash on his check,
. reaching from the mouth to the point of the jawbone
near the ear. The negro attempted to run, but made
only a step or two when he fell upon the floor of the
courthouse, bleeding profusely. The scene at this|timc r
we are informed by an eye .vitness, was the most ex
citing he ever beheld. The court room was densely
crowded, and for a few moments the authority of the
court was powerless. As soon as something like order
could be restored, the negro was carried into the yard,,
where medical assistance was promptly rendered him
and his wound dressed, after which he was taken to
jail, accompanied by a strong guard, the court deeming:
such an escort necessary to protect him from further
violence. Gregory was arrested and was permitted to
give bail in SI,OOO for his appearance next term.
What Is now Doing’ ?
Says an exchange, While we write, these things are j
happening : In a grog-shop there is an old toper raising
another glass of liquor in a trembling hand to his fe
verish lips. At his side stands a young man taking
his grog and cursing everything, while the dealer rat
tles the coin in his box. At another grog-shop there is
a fight now in high progress among a set of drunken •!
rowdies and before we make the period at the end of
this sentence it will be over—One poor fellow stabbed to- f
the heart—his last gasp made, and his soul before its S
God, even while we were writing from the last period j
to this. Away somewhere under the shadow of a hill j
stands a cheerless home, and a wife and mother in it,
weeping as if her heart would break. Up the pathway
comes a mars singing, shouting and cursing by turns !
and entering that cheerless home, the terrified and half
famished chilc'ron Uy fioin his presence, while that wife
raises her hands to ward off the blows she knows is
coming. Heavily—sorely the cruel blows arc notv
falling upon some poor wife from the hands of a drunken,
brutal husband. Up on a hillside somewhere a gravis
is yawning. They come—they come! the corpse anti
the mourners. It is a young man, and the sexton is
now telling a stranger story as they lean on the grave
yard gate: He was in a hard-drinking spree, and the
night before last he blew his brains out with a pistol.”
They are letting him down in the grave now, and tho
elods are rumbling on the coffin boards, though wc hear
them not, an old mother’s heart is breaking over a ;
grave, though wc feel it not. The tragedies of rum arc
going on every minute; these tilings have just trans
pired somewhere in the land cursed of rum ; aye more
terrible than these have happened even as we have writ- ‘
ten from ono porid to this last.

Answer to a poem published in the Temperance Cru
sader, from the Type of the Times:
To Kate, of Clicrokee.
ItY WILL.
Your poem which I lately read,
With happy thoughts has filled my head,
And I am one, as you may find,
That admires an intellectual mind;
If this you have, as you express,
You’ll find mine not a whit the less;
Os common sense 1 have a share,
Affection, too, I may declare.
My heart is kind and free from guile,
And for the oppressed I have a smile;
My face is darker than my hands,
Tinged by the sun in stranger lands;
My hair is black, my eyes are ditto,
But of moustache I’ve not a whit, oh !
The medium height I am above,
And gen’rous actions much I love;
1 have no house, nor store, nor lands,
But work with honest, willing hands;
1 am a widower, kind and true,
And hope to be approved by you;
Your reason for the preference seems
As plain to me as pleasant dreams;
My age is near to five and twenty,
But of life’s cares I’ve met with plenty.
But more of joys and happy hours,
Life’s smiles and sunshine, love of flowers;
My name is Will, by early rites;
I board in Brooklyn near the Heights;
I am not diffident or shy,
As you will know by this reply ;
And trust that long I may not wait
To hear again from Saucy Kate;
And from the place you call Rose Bower,
I should much like to have a flower;
A bloom or two would, perhaps, be better,
Which you might send me in a letter.
No gift I would more highly prize.
Thau a blossom born ’neath Southern skies,
And make this difficulty less
By also sending your address
To box 121, written by thy hand,
Post office, Brooklyn, on Long Island.
Hotter to Marry than to Burn.
The editor of the Eufaula Native, a cotemporary over
in the State of Alabama, gives, verbatim, the following
account, as furnished by an eye-witness, of the cere
mony of the sable minister who officiated:
“ I now inquire and charge of you both, that you bo
aware of that great day of the Judgment, wherewith you
both shall give an account for the things which you are
about to answer for at the present. I now proceed to
the marriage. Prince, will’st thou take this woman,
honor her throughsickuess and through health,forsaking
all other women for her alone, living after the ordinan
ces of God so long as you both shall live, keeping of her
as under the apple of your eye ? Answer me, ‘JT will.’.
As you have jilted your voices before God and this con
gregation, also jinc your hands, and as you have con
sented in holy wedlock and witnessed the same by the
jining of your hands, I also pronounce you man and
wife, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen. For we believe on the law of Moses, that, it is
better for a man to marry than to burn, yet it is better
to abide as I myself.”
See the balance in either Ist or 2d Corinthians, 7th
chapter.
Always Singing.
While talking with a neighbor, I heard a sweet, plain
tive voice singing that beautiful hymn:
“Jesus, lover of my soul!”
The child was up stairs; I knew it wasa child’svoico
from its silvery softness; I listened awhile, and then
said:
“ That child has a sweet voice.”
“Yes, she has,” said my friend; “she is always
singing.”
Always singing! Sweet, happy child! Bird of angel
■wings! Who would not envy thee, that gushing flood
of happiness within thy soul ? A soul strong to will
and to do; a soul lighted with the smiles of Jesus, and
anchored on the surest hope; a soul that, with more
than a child’s strength, shall part the dark waves as it
goes down the surging tide of death.
Always singing! I passed that way again. Summer
was here in her fullness, strewing the earth with flow
ers, and the sky with stars. The same sweet voice was
thrilling on the air:
“Oh ! had I the wings of a dove!”
This tints, the little singer was in the yard. I gazed
upon the spiritual softness of her features —the sweet
eyes like “ brown birds flying to the light,” the fine,
expressive lips, the dark, silken curls; I felt that she
would soon have Iter wish answered, and “find a refuge
in Heaven.”
Always singing! Autumn came; the wild swan was
turning towards the South; the leaves were dropping
[ front the trees, and spears of frost glittered among the
* grass. A strip of crepe fluttered front the shutter ofthe
house where my little singer lived. Her voice was
clothed in death, and trembling hands had bound those
truant tresses around her white brow. By the great
| white throne—by the river of eternal gladness, she was
i striking her golden harp, and singing, in the gushing
j fullness, of imperishable glory l—Slauffer.

The Editors of the American Presbyterian, Philadel
phia, with whom are associated Rev. Albert Barnes,
Rev. Thos. Brainard, Rev George Duflield and others,
thus express themselves on the subject of Temperance
in that great city. We are glad to hear such expres
sions from such able and influential gentlemen :
“Temperance. —Are we going to awake or slumber
over drunkenness this fall and winter ? The questions
about moral suasion and legal methods are settled by
the understanding that we are to try both; make the
utmost private effort we can, and the best laws we can, and
try to execute them. But the question we are just now
concerned with is, Are the ministry and the temper
ance men going to do something effective this season
or no ? Are we to have lively, active, energetic temper
ance meetings, or is the cause to be considered dead ?
There is an aspect of it which ought to be made to
ring through the heads and hearts of the entire com
munity. Men are not drinking pure wine, brandy and
whiskey now. The thing they drink at tavern bars, is
drugged ; drugged in the making of it; drugged because
it is cheaper to put in poisonous stuff’ than to make
pure liquor. Men cannot drink and tipple every day
tor twenty, thirty or forty years as some used to do.
They kill themselves soon, going off into successive at
tacks of mania-a-potu and similar horrible diseases in a
third or a quarter of the time. Drinking is becoming
a quick instead of a slow suicide. One ofthe marvels
of this remarkable country is that men bear this.
If a man wilfully murders his fellow, the country
resounds with it. But if the drainings of a distillery
kill but a drove of hogs, or a wagon load of fish, nobody
notices it, although the liquor impregnated with such
ingredients, is drawn offinto barrels to be drank at tav
ern bars by thousands of human beings! This is as
serted. Can it be contradicted ? If it can, for the sake
’ of our country, of humanity, we hope it will be.
[ The friends of temperance need to awake. It is all
I a mistake that it does no good to lecture upon temper
ance. It does great good. It sets men thinking. It
cadis their attention to a fearful danger. It saves many
a young man from ruin. It disgusts women with
drunkenness. It is hardly respectable in America fora
woman to drink spirits at all. Drinking customs keep
their‘place with considerable difficulty and conscience
hardly goes with them. We know there has been ex
travagance and reaction. No wonder. The evil has
been enough to make any man extravagant, and there
is always enough love of unhallowed excitement to
make a “reaction.” We do not give up the Gospel,
because there are multitudes of unconverted men, and
because an immense mass of wickedness is unreached.
So let oar temperance friends not give up; let them
hold meetings ; let them obtain good speakers and lec
turers ; let them invite the ministry to preach and to
speak on this subject. Let there be temperance ser
mons in the churches; grand temperance meetings in
the Musical Fund and Concert Hall and National Hall.
Let there be ward meetings and district meetings;
meetings in Court houses and School houses, and let us
do our utmost to drivo out the foul fiend!

CANVASSING HIV DISTRICT.
BY S. OLDCOCK, ESQ.
. X
“Lives of old cocks all remind us
We can make sur lives sublime,
And when chawed up leave behind ns
Bird tracks on the sands of time.” -
Inspired by ihc beautiful poem, the “Sam of Lift;’’
from which (lie above appropriate verse is extracted I
set out from my cockloft to canvass my district. I
was well provided with snufl', peanuts and sugar plums
for the women and children, hut was ip doubt what to
do for ihc voters. Being a temperance and Maine law
man I was opposed ty treating on principle, although of
course I have no objection to take a little of the pure
oranded article myself, if somebody else will pay for it.
My first attempt was on a democrat ; I desired to see
if I could convert one of the enemy themselves. Mr.
Schmitt was the nun, and he had imbibed certain cr
roneous notions of government. He thought that laws
were for the benefit of the people, instead of the makers
of the laws. And he also had an idea that a white man
was as good as a black man, if not better, and that
people of Kansas had a right to tnkc care of their own
affairs without consulting the legislatures ot New Eng.
land.
Another strange idea ho had was that liquors are
properly, as much as wheat, tobacco, or anything else.
I combatted these ignorant notions to the best of my
ability. 1 told him if he could only enforce the Maine
law and my hen law we should root out crime, destroy
sin. and put the devil out of employment; we shopp'd
find the millennium, and make everybody rich and
happv. I told hint that all criminals drink, and, conse
quently, if we fakp away their rum there would be no
crime. He replied that they eat as welt as drink and
wanted to know if it would not he better to take away
their food. Thereupon I retired in disgust. Schmitt,
I am sorry to say, has the same ideas that all the dem
hcrats have, ana I have, therefore, them all opposed to
me. But it is not so with the republicans, they are all
with me ; so I am sure of an election; then won’t the
feathers fly ?
T went to see mv friend Black ; lie is a republican to
the backbone, and’ goes for the rights oi women and
negroes, so I felt sure of him. He objected, however,
that my hen law was unconstitutional. “Ah! my dear
Black,” I replied, “you don’t know us legislators. We
don’t trouble ourselves about the constitution. I’ll
show you how we shall fix that. We have turned out
Judge Loring ; that establishes a precedent for the de
pendence of the judiciary. So if the supreme court don’t
decide as wo wish them to, we shall turn them all out.
What a splendid chance that w-ill be to dispose of there
maining citizens of Waltham who have no office! How
would you like to see your friend Oldcockon the bench?
Worse appointments than that have been made. Eh?
Mr. Burnham —beg pardon, Black, I would say.”
Black was so well pleased with this idea that he brought
out a little old Bourbon, stamped of course, with which
wc drank the Governor’s health, drinking health is, of
course, a medicinal purpose. Subsequently, at a late
hour Tdo not recollect exactly when, we adjourned. I
find, however, that all the. republicans in my district
arc tor me. Hurrah! down with rum and Shanghais,
and up with negroes and monopolies !
A Little Giiil lluxo. —A frightful accident occurred
on Wednesday last, noar the village of Friendship, Al
legany county, on the New York and Erie Railroad.
A woman named Gulford started with a little girl
about nine yoars of age, after locking up the houss, to
visit one of her neighbors. After proceeding a short
distanco the mother remembered something which she
had left behind her ill the house, and sent the little girl
back after it, while she walked on. Arrived at her
place of destination, she waited a long time, but the girl
did not appear and she returned home. On reaching
home she found the body of her daughter hanging
from the window outside, and dead. It appeared that
the little girl, unable to effect an entrance by tho door,
had raised the window, and while endeavoring to crawl
in it had fallen upon her neck and held her fast until
life was extinct.
Which was Drcnk —the Woman or theP reached—
clergyman was lately depicting, before a deeply inter
ested audience, the alarming increase of intemperance,
when he astonished his hearers by exclaiming: “A
young woman in my neighborhood died very suddenly
last fciabbath, while I was preaching the Gospel in a
beastly state of intoxication .
When coldness wraps this suffering clay,
Ah ! whither strays the immortal mind !
It cannot die—it cannot stay,
But leaves its darkened dust behind.”

Died, in Grcenesboro, on Tuesday, the sth inst. Mrs
Matilda L. Foster, consort of Dr. James F. Foster. .
As wife, mother, mistress, friend, she well iulfilled
all of life’s duties, shedding upon them the richest offer
ings of the tetiderest and most affectionate solicitude.
Mrs. Foster was a lady of excellent sense and judgment;
home was her chosen sphere, and were it proper to en
ter its sacred precincts, abundant testimony could be
furnished of the fidelity with which she discharged every*
duty, leaving a legacy of precious memories to her chil
dren and friends. She was truly the modest, conscien
tious and unaffected lady. With great calmness, she
awaited the grim messenger, arid her meek spirit passed
to the God who gave it. “Green be the turfabove thee.”
