Liu is Dead. —Yes—the friend who •'tvas oy our side but yesterday—whose laugh was as loud as our own, and whose spirits were as light as the most active—is now dressed in tho habili ments of the tomb. His voice will en liven no moCe—no more will his pres ence cheer —no more will joy and glad ness spring up in the hearts of those who were wont to be relieved from the Lie novoletice of his heart. Ho is dead ! lie has looked his last on the field and flower, spoken the last kind wer i and given the last kiss of affection. The flowers of spring will bloom and with er upon his grave—the hire's will sing high above his resting place, and the merry voices of children will float upon t the air—but the sleeper will not awake till the sound of the archangel’s trump shall call the dead to life. May we learn a useful lesson from the sudden departure of one who so recently was engaged in the active seerees of life. May we so live, that if called as sud denly from the pursuits of time, we may be prepared for that belter world where the weary are forever at rest. Now.—“ Now is tlie constant sylla ble ticking from the clock of time. ‘Now,’ is the watchword of the wise ‘Now,’ is on the banner of tho prudent. Let us keep this little word always* in our mind; and whenever anything pres ents itself to ns in the shape of work, ■ whether mental or physical, we should Jo it with all our might, remembering that ‘Now’ is the only time for ns. It is indeed a sorry way to get through the world by putting off till to-morrow, saying,‘Then’ I will do it. No! this will never answer. ‘Now,’ is ours, ‘then may never be.” A man’s true wealth hereafter is the good he does in this world to his fellow i men. When he dies people will say, “What pr perty has he left behind, him?” But the angels who examine j h/iri in the grave will ask, “What good deed hast thou sent before thee?” LADIES DEPARTMENT. Maternity Woman’s charms are certainly many j and powerful. The expanding rose just bursting into beauty, has an irresis riLie bewitchingness; tho blooming bride, led triumphantly to the hyineni-j al alter awakens admiration and inter est, and the blush of her cheeks fills with delight; hut the charm ofmaterni- ( !y is more sublime than these. Ileav-J en has imprinted on the mother’s face something beyond this world, something which claims kindred with the skies — ■ ‘be angelic smile, the tender look, the waking watchful eve which keeps its I fond vigil over her slumbering bah These are objects wdiicii neither the J pencil nor the chisel can touch, which i j poetry fails to exalt, w Inch tlie moit el oquent tongue in vain would eulogize, ! and to portray which all description be- • | comes ineffective. In the heart ofm ui | lies the lovely picture; it lives in his j sympathies, it reigns in his directions; j liis eyes look round in vain for such i another object on earth. Maternity—extutio sound! so twined 1 ■ round our heart that it must cease to j tlirob ere we forget! ’its our first! love! ’Tis part of our religion! Nn- 1 tore has sot tiie mother upon such a I pinnacle, that our infant eyes and arms! | are first uplifted to it; we cling to it in ! j manhood, we almost worship it in old i age. He who can enter an apartment, and behold tlie tender babe foe ling up - on ils rm tilers’ beauty, nourished by-tiie | tide of life w hich flows through her: generous veins, a panting bosom and . grateful eye, is no man, but a minster, lie who can uouroach the cradle of i I ; sleeping innocence without thinking i I “of suen is tlie kingdom of heaven,” ! |or view tlie fond parent over its beau ties, and half retain her breath lest site! should break ils slumbers, without a veneration beyond ali common feeling, : is to be avoided in every intercourse in i j life, and is fit only for the shadow of 1 ! darkness and the solitude of tho desert.

AUGUST Id, t For the Temperance Banner. Nkwnan, Ga.,Julv 27th, 1352. ‘ Legislation and n;m legislation. Mr. Editor: —Through y6ur last col , umns wo son in a composition, some re ! flections upon this all important sub-i ;j- of. It seems that the antuor of which, i claims that “coming events cast their shadows before.” This we admit to h • true in some instances, but to make the ■ assertion broad and unmodified, we i i most certainly doubt its truth. Let; | this be the case or not, tho difference i is a trifle, having no learning whatever ; upon the subject at issue. Who ever J. R. T. is, he doubtless bad policy in not wishing to truce from the beginning of the Temperance Ref. orma’.ion, its various stops. For had ho presented to your readers, iho sub- > ijectin a tine light, from its original source and foundation, hi? would have ] proven most plainly, that lie himself is, in error. But we noticed ha wisely; shuned this. Then, Mr. liditor and I readers, let us notice the argument he | uses, to prove that tho time inis not yet I at lived for American freemen to go in -1 to legislation upon this subject. ! The first, refers you to the “downfall ! jof that good old noble pledge, to which tiie Sons of freemen first enrolled their names.” Well has he called it good ■ ! and noble, for if there is any thing now ‘ j under the canopy of heaven, next to re ! ligion, for which we should be thankful jto a merciful and benefleient God, it is that pledge. To see its fruits, we have but for a moment to revert your minds to its day and time. An i ninny an in ebriate do you see, who thanks God that he ever put it in man’s bosom, to institute such a pledge ; many a deli cate, once heart-broken female, do you see, who t6-day might have been trem | filing in the deepest agonies of woe, will i rise with feelings, beyond the power of | language to express, cry, “God be praised.” But he states to you that tlie banner, that waved in such triumph, | lias fal'en, is crushed to earth, and i is now numbered with tiie tilings that ; were. This we deny being tho case. | For it is not in our bosom to believe | that lovers of home, country, and State, 1 will ever see that victorious banner ! fall and expire, mangled in its bearer’s blood. We deny also, that *ho old pledge is not yet alive. For proof, we refer yuti to tho iuto Convention held ; at Newmm, where you see many from ! all parts of the State, still firm, stead fast, year .mmoveabi -, rallying around | its standard L> :! again, lie points you to something i new, (tlie Sons of Temperance.)— From ins writing, we draw no other inference, than to iiis opinion, these are they, who have crushed to earth that I good old pledge. ‘‘Alas! what differs t more titan man from man.” J low in ; creation could lie have come to this i conclusion, who will tell me"? U’e j ourselves acknowledge that tho Sons j were something new , we acknowledge i ; they were a great improvement, yet ! nevertheles, though every Wnshingto. I iiiau is ti it a Son, yet every true Son is ] j a Washingtonian. Then surely if our; i non-legislation limn was engaged in I i battle against some enemy, who had I Alain his millions, lie would not oh-! j jecl. to having the aid of his fellow men, j j who were skilled in the art of war, arid ! whose government was such, that it ev or held m readiness tor battle its sold-’ j iei'o. No. in), riot n solitary objection I 1 would lie raised, but iike the old tern-; I pc ranee man and son, ho would sav ! come one, come ali, join in a solid phalanx., and let us go against this dire. I fid ( It Illy until WO Wreak our hands in Ins blood. Next lie points us to tlie faun making l.is stump speech, avowiu H the principles of moral suasion. He asks, “do wo d.my it!” We answer i no. Why ! Because tvo are ever’ proud to acknowledge truth. Wo therefore admit that every Son of Tom. perunco, speaking ns a Son lor the or der. has Claimed moral suasion mid i naught but morel suasion. Hoes not tile very actions of some of the Sons set ting in the late Convention at Ncwnan, prove most dearly that their speakers are authorised to say naught else? Ho we not see Sous there most rigidly opposing legi-lntion, tin reby sliowiim! tnat tiieir political privilege is not in theieast affected by tiieir pledge ! ‘JAlfis’ is not all. Wo are authorised to aay, ’ ! that it is made known to every one pe litioning to become a Son, that by i,is pledge his political or religious rights will not be effected. Thus we see it i.-, made known to each one before hand, that upon this subject, (the subject of legislating,) he can act according to the dictates of his own conscience. Then wo sec why they ‘have said they were . not for legislating. Hut should they all come together and agree that it was i right to legislate, who could blame them? “Wise men do sometimes change their notion ; fools never do.” But went lias been said heretofore in regard to legislation, has not been said as Sons of IVuiporunce, hut as ejti//.| ls i Vmeri. i as ci'i'A*,,,. „f n Repub!; i.u i Government. And who, I ask, would debar these from this privilege ? would 1 any freeman upon whom shines the rays of the sun, over whom the Hag of liberty spreads its gilded mantle, be so i Holfish, so anti-republican, so joalouu of ; the noble Sons ! Surely, surely not. But again, lie asks, ‘-is not moral suasion, all that has been possessed for the last three or four years, suliieient to move the temperance ball with suliieient velocity ?” We answer no. And though he desires that while thesuhjcct j has been agitated tor legislation, it has ; been on the decline, and its very found- j at ion tottering. Still, to-dnv, we see it j standing, lookid|| over a sin-cursed i 1 world, with beauty, hope, and light that it e\Tr • dff\n days that are past, But the baling* not vet move with suificient vclomrr. We would remind J. R. T. that this jsan age of | improvement. will ho or any one else. l*o willing to lot'this tvAst impor tant subject lie dormant, while every other art and science known, is daily progressing with double speed ? Are they willing to stand with fold arms and see their fellow men, one alter another, rush headlong and engulf themselves forever in oblivion ! “Oh ! man, how : long ! how king, will you trifle with kind nature’s plan ?” The God of na j turn never intended that you should ! thus act. lie never intended that man !by eating meat, should thereby cause ’ bis feilow-man to stumble and fall. Arid bow often has it been the case, that your fellow-man, the inebriate, hearing you (oppose this subject, ami say, that it | Was your privilege to drink ardent spir ; its, has thereby tumbled headlong in the I ditch ; thus you see, though he did no! ! drink’ to idols, yet lie drank to excess, i Tills we give as a very good reason ( why we should legislate upon this sub. | ject; for other reasons, we ask you to j search that law upon which our law is, and should be based, and see if it will not bear us out in legislating : convince us that it will not, and we sav not an other word. But why is this dust kicked up at this time about legislation ? Because the : subject, never before has been agitated |by the people of Georgia? By no | means. We can show to you, that tho ! subject has been legislated upon long, I long since. Where says you ? W j answer, in imposing a fine upon the j ivinil-dealers in ardent spirits. And i we ask you if the State of Georgia has the right to impose a (ins of live or fifty Jollars upon a man for poisoning li is tieighbor, it it has not the right to im ! pose one of live thousand or State-im prisonment ? Answer ye who wish it \ was not so. Answer ye band of rug- I ing warriors who would have the no ! blest deed that you country-men could do, crushed to ear/li. But perhaps you sav, that it lias no ! right to impose any fine whatever, for j i the reason that the liquor seller does j not force Ids neighbor.: to drink, and ; j the re fore it is taking away the freedom I of men. Then we ask you if the .State j has the right to prohibit a man burning (down his own house, if it has not the 1 right to prohibit him killing himself through neglect? A again : let us i make a supposition : Suppose you, a mail was to begin to retail, or sell by , the barrel, arsenic to his neighbors, and J thereby daily slay them think you, the i State would do right in stopping him ! yes, every thinking man would answer yes. And why ? Because arsenic, kills instantly. And wlu.t iF it does, it (is at last, no more fatal than liquor. We think :tie citizens of Georgia have not investigated this subject as i-, becoming true, civilized and enlightened men. I low long oh ! sleeping citizen 1 - - ., v. ill you remain care!, rs and listen wiilinn feeling hearts, to the cries and grans ot widows and orphans! Oli r awake from your revery and come to their aid sink - or rise on popular current. — Let us do to our fellow men ns we would have them do unto us. Let us rally around the temperance cause un til its waving banner shall spread all over the republic, and fliield by its infill ence every freeman, every bond-mac, 1 from the dismal, gloomy grave of the drunkaid.

I here, wife, dream or no dream, I will never sell another drop (ofthe infernal stuff. 1 will not.” From the Olive Branch Smoking Ministers We sometimes say a word on the use oi tobacco. But we mean no harm to any one. “Every tub must stand on its own bottom,” as the old lady said when she undertook to quote Scripture. And although wc consider tho use of to bacco in any of the forms in which it is generally used, to be u filthy kind of I slavery, which does vastly more hurt •hail good, still we leave every person : to act himself freely, in regard to using it. It appears, however, that there is (considerable “stirring up” on tiie sub ject id late. It was very seriously con : sidered by the Universulist Convention, : held recently in tiiis city. And it was : also before tlie Methodist General Con lerenca at its late session. In a circu lar addressed to that body, on ‘he us of (tobacco in the American churches, Rev. | Geo. I'rask makes the following state ( ment : “On ihe authority of Dr. Coles, I ! would add, tlie American church annu ally expends SS,OOO,(KH> on this vilo narcotic, and less than #1,000,000 on benevolent objects, oi fur tlie conver ! sion of the world.” it is very proper that tiiis subject j should come before tlie ministers, for | consideration; for if there is a fault in regard to the use of tobacco in the churches, it mav in a great measure ! be attributed to the clergy themselves. We do not say that ministers ought to | be constantly preaching on tiiis subject ’ —it might ue spoken of very seldom. But we do say that ministers ought to set a good examplo, or their preuening will he of hut little use. We have seen somo pulpits, which have been occupied by tobacco-chewing ministers, sufficiently liltliy to make a decent man sick—every tiling had been saturated with saliva, and cover ed with “old soldiers.” If you enter such a mans study on serious business, ; you find it densely tilled with smoke” and before he can answer you, he must open tlie window and relieve liis mouth of the essence of Virginia. Wh ii wo see these things, wo think of the question of Job : “Who cun bring a clean thing out of an unclean?” And we are strongly tempted to ask ourselves iiow Paul would have looked, were he in the pulpit (licking out his text, With a quid of tobacco between bis teeth? to how Peter would have seemed, taking out his silver snufF-box, , and rapping it with liis knuckles be fore fie applied the tickling dust to his olfactories? or how ihe Master of both woiibl have appeared with a cigar or pipe in His mouth, when He entered the Temple, and drove out those who \polluted, it. with a scourge of small i cords ‘ If tin! statement of Mr. Trask is true, • hat the American churches spend five times as much for tobacco ns they do ; or benevolent objects, wo think a re. term in these respects is very desirable, nd ministers can do much towards effecting such a reform; hut never can jt be done while they set tho example. Pile church, too, should look into this suhji! t. Five millions of money annu ally, might relieve a world of human i sutler mg. But spent in tobacco, it is worse than thrown away.
