her :
‘•Maria’s like a clock they say,
Unconscious of her beauty,
She regulates the live long day,
Exact in every dutv.
If this he true, such self-command,
Such well directed powers,
Oh ! may her little minute hand,
Become a hand of ours!'’
Tobacco. — Dr. J. C. Warren, of
Boston, one of the most eminent medi
cal men in tliii country, says that “to
Mtoco, used i:t the way of mastication,
is iKslew poison, which, if it were ail
ministered by another person, would
deserve and receive retribution from the -
laws fthe land.” .After stating the’
injurious effects ot smoking, as well as
chewing this “powerful vegetable prii.
son,” lie adds:
“These statements, ate not exagger
a'ed hut the result of many years’ ex-
P’-rieiice and observation; so that when ,
a young man applies to me for a cun
of pain in the chest and symptoms of
Dyspepsia, l feel it my first duty to J
inquire w hether lie smokes or chews j

[From the Plough. Loom and Anvil.]
The l ouitiy.
At this season of the year, when eve- j
ry preparation should he made for the
comfort of all domestic animals, the
comforts of the poultry family should
receive a very lioeral share of attention,
inasmuch as th> re is no stock that any
stockholder can keep, that will pay so
well for the capital and labor invested ■
us biped tribes.
To insure tho best returns during
- the winter months, the season when
they can he made more profitable than
any other, it is necessary , in the first
place, that they should he provided with
warm and dry shelter; in the second,
that they should have a constant sup
ply of good nutritive lbod. If this last
i-, given in quantities to lie by them, no
waste will follow, and consequently no
nduitional expense will accrue. VVe
have been in the habit, during the cold
.season, of keeping a box ol grain, where
liens, Sec., could have access to it any
time ; and have found to our satisfac
lion, that they can he wintered on a less
amount of food in this way than when
they are allowed to ramble for it, or it
is doled out to them in handfuls, ut sea
sons of convenience. By keeping corn
in a good supply within llieir reach,
we have marketed it at more than a
dollar a bushel, when file common
pree was seventy cents, taking pay in
eggs, which in winter always turn to
cash at a fair price, and have sold
them other giuius at the increased ratio.
Yet we would by no means confine
their living to grain, especially that in
a whole or uncooked condition. Meat,

butchers, may be given them to g<iod
a I vantage. It should, However, be

boiled, in order to being more digest’- ,
hie. Cooked potatoes, given warm, for
an occasional change, we have found j
highly beneficial ; also, meal, cooked ,
or boiled in just water enough to give _
it a consistency.
Wo always allow lime in good quail- :
titios to lie in our hen house. The im- j
portance of this in the formation of
the shells is fully known ; from this,
its healthfulness as a condiment may I
oe fully inferred from the manner in j
which they devour it. A neighbor ot
lours, who is nice in lien matters, a few
Years since finished oil* a room in coin-
I iurtable style for their winter nocoin
i niodalion, lathing and plastering tlie
sides and overhead. They had scarce
ly inhabited the tenement six months!
before the plastering was all devoured.
The lime and sand were both probably
the cause ot this, and had boili been
placed in abundance within their reach,
the wall would no doubt have remained
untouched. .Ashes or tine dry earth
should also be placed within their reach,
that they may allow their wallowing
propensities in winter as they so natu
rally do in summer.
The poultry house should also he a
quite reiired place. Noise and the in
terferenoe of oilier animals is very an
noying to all the feathered t l ilies, espe
; dully to those of domesticated habits.
| Fowls should not he allowed to ram
| Me in winter, especially if the day is
j cold or stormy ; and in such days, if
j they are let out at all, it should he near
night, when they will he sure to return
soon.
In the arrangement of tiie poultry
house, special regard should he paid to
saving the. manure. This is the true
guano, which every farmer may pos
st ss, in moderate quantities, to be sure,
hut which is none the less valuable.—
its actual value is beginning to bo bet
ter understood than formerly, but not
well enough hut that many farmers al
low heir poultry to most on fences, and
trees, where it is ad lost; while many
more, who save it through the winter,
sell it for a mere pittance, or give it to
, their most discerning neighbor for
clearing out the hen-roost. Now we
, positively believe that a bushei oflien
manure is cheap to the farmer at a 1
shilling, in any currency that maybe
reckoned where these remarks are 1
read, in proof of it we give the result!
of some experiments made in its appli
cation-
A farm r of our acquaintance pul-
I verised, by threshing with a common
Il til, a quantity of it; after w hich he
| added an equal quantity of ashes, and
: one-forth as much gypsum. A single
j handful of this compound was placed in
j a lull of com; the result was, a heav
i ter crop than where well-rotted stable
manure svas placed in liberal qtianii
: ties, she same compound we have i
j found valuable for peppers, tomuttoes, |
vines, uud indeed all garden vegetables, 1
it gives them a quick, healthful growth.
| And ibis same compound, sown on lur-1
j nips, \ines, aid other plants infested!
by insects in the early stages ofgrowth,’
! when the leaves are wet, is sure to rid
i llmm ol these annoyances. But we

m such ways as lie sees hast.

IJcnj. Brant hj, i.sq. — Worthy Broth,
cr :It is known to you that some-!
tune since the Inends of temperance
were convoked together in the .State of
Alabama to delioerate upon the best
means to accomplish the end for which
oui Older was first organiz'd. The
action of the Belinu Goiivontion was re.
pmted to Crescent Division, comprised
in it the proposed frill, with which you
are also acquainted, for the suppression!
uflii'’ liquor Irallie in the Siu e'of Ala
bama, and the consideration of sai J no
lion was then agitated m onr oommu- i
inly , not only in the Division room,
hut at the private fin-side of each re
flecting gentleman ; its merits duly up.
prtciated, and its necessity strongly
urged as a iie asure ol infinite impor
tance. To obtain fully the sentiment
ol my Division, and to ascertain if pos-
Slide, the flagging spirits that ranged
with our host. I t.ad the honor of sub.
mining the following resolution, which’
to my high satisfaction, was unanimous
ly adopted :
hesoloetl, I hut we, the officers and
members of Crtseiit Division, lully en
endorse the Albania law. proposed bv
the Sr Inn Convention to the Legisla-!
lure ol sairl State, for its adoption; ami 1
that we will use all honnranlo means
within our power to accomplish the
same.
Subsequent l 0 the adoption of the!
foregoing resolution, and in considera
tion of the fact, that Alabama und
Georgi i are placed in relative positions
upon the question of tempo ranee, and
Irom the contiguity ol State lines, I had
the liorfor of being appointed to c >rres
pond with the numerous readers of the
I emperanee Banner, uud Crystal
Fount, am! inform memos the progress
of the cause and the common senti
ment entertained in our community in
regard to prohibitory legislation upon
the traffic in ar lent spirits. It is now
a conceded point llmt it is an evil, and
legislation is admitted to lie the only
means for its abolition, and the only
question for disquisition, is a qties ion
of time.
Shall we commence our action at tliL
crisis, or shall we wait until the enven
omed viper sinks deeper his lungspnto
the peace and happiness of society ?
1 need hardly add that our community
has long since distinguished itself as a
temperance community. Near live
years bus marked the history of a still
nourishing Division. Nor lias moral
suasion shown its ellicacy upon many.
but the pleasant village of Salem, in
which was located Division room and
doggeries, obtained from tiie legislature
at us last session, the power, and has
long iince sent the last fumes of whis
key that issues from the doggery door,
to mingle in common with the ruthless
winds that blow unnoticed or uncared
for. This however, is but a limited
action, because of but limited imver.
IVe assume Unit if tiie authority had
been more extensive, a similar action
would have been the result. Some of]
ttie decided friends of temperance in
Alabama as well ns in Georgia, are la
boring under a fcurfull temerity lest
there should not be a sufficient amount
ot voting strength in tiie cause to attain
the end at which we aim. To such it j
may bo kindly suggested, t'uu if die j
friends of this measure post-pone their
action until the sentiment of the masses]
can be obtained, ils'dooni would be in
evitable ; prophetic vision need not say, I
lor time would mark with unerring car-1
O |
minty its total extinction from the line;
of progress. As an evidence of which |
every civilized community may be di
vided into three classes; First, that
portion of our fellow-citizens who
think and investigate for themselves.
.Second, that portion of mankind who
have lingering about tiiein a sentiment
of right, and a principle honor, yet not
calculating for themselves in regard to
matters ot a social, religious or politi
cal character. Third, mat class ho
know no law except that of opportune
! ly, uud no restraint except a lotul ma
! bilily to oOtuiii. Consequently there
i are but o e-tliird of our population from
whom wo may expect u pro expressed
i opinion, and if that be favorable, (as il
is,) we may rely confidently upon u
most signal triumph. Although this is
a repuulicau form of government, and u
democratic majority rules by uu appeal
to tiie great m oiter of national issue,
(the ballot box,) yet in opinions a mi
nority sways Hie populace uud lias the
majority in action ; and on tiie intro
; dilution of questions new uu I undefer
j mined opinions are necessarily formed
I and expressed and action adopted.—
Tiie first class then thinks for, and
rules tiie second; & the 3d is made opiu
to bow un unwilling victim to puolic
I ion. Then we used not ask for the vox
[po/tu/i, before the trump ol battle culls
loarms. No man cun confidently say
, wiial will be the result of any question
when submitted to public scniUuy ; but
vve may readily discern the ideaot like
!or dislike in tiie countenance of inves
tigation. Another cossiduratio.i for im
mediate action is this: that the order
; ot Sons of i’emperance lias been in ex
| istence for a series of years, and its
only mission was that ol arousing the
people from llieir lethargy, and us only
instrumentality was tll.il of moral sua
sion. We are well aware that its rnis
i siou lias been fulfilled solar as the her
alding of the importance of the cause.—
i tiat it lias ugiiated, uud agitated until
allure more oi less observant of its ac
tion. Moral suasion has expended its
force on those upon whom it could act,
(viz :) the first and sec nd classes, and
the third most assuredly cannot be ac
ted upon save by the strong arm of the
law. Then the question arises, what
is to be done ‘# It is impossible for us
to adopt the stand-still policy. If we
do not advance, we shall recede; two
classes are alreudy convinced, and
force must rule the third; and the.
murky tleus of degradation and dis- i
grata call in tones ol thunder for leg
islation, and with a two-thirds vote we
can obtain it.
But viewing the proposition of legis
lation in u dlliereiit aspect. Suppose,
as some suppose, that eefeut should
murk our efforts ? how can it possibly •
impede the progress of the great cause
in winch we are engaged ( Our work
of moral suasion and prohibitory legis
lution is yet in a mysterious and cna
otio condition. We may boar ex
pressed, but we do not know who is
really convinced and persuuded of the
importance of the cause; our strength
may be weaker than we suppose,
and our zeal unequal to die task. If
action .it this crisis is designed lor no
oilier purpose, il will show usour real
position, and define most cleartv tbe
amount of wolk to be accomplished ; it
weaker than our opposers, they need
would the. use additional ex
j eriion to obtain the rnustery, for al
ready they would have the majority ;
j and if we are the stronger the proud
banner would flutter sooner in the
! breeze, and it’ victory’s triumph regale
the home nud the fireside of deserted
and degraded woman, mid hush the
hungry wail of tiie cheerless orphan.—
•Action, legislative action, is demanded,
and it will demonstrate ere the oock
crows twice, who will deny us thrice.
So it is a game in which we hare all
the chances of winning, and none of
losing. II it is impassible for us to
reach the half way station, (viz:) the
Alabama law, let us if possible, gain
the quarter house. Let us tell Ala
bama and Georgia legislators, that the
trafiic in ardent spirits is an egregious
evil • that they have admitted its ille
gality by lieeiisening brutes in human
forms, to scatter death and destruction 1
among mankind ; and il no other obei- |
sauce to a public voice can lie obtained,
that the foul slain that blots the escutch
eon of our sovereign .Stall s must be ex
punged, and the records of Alabama
and Georgia no longer point the wan far
er to their self-made degradation , eon
line not the chaffed tiger for constant
injury and eternal molestation, but lot
him roam unsliackeled, and common
interest and ci niinoii satety will alike
uncompromisingly, urge the necessity
of his immediate destruction, and rouse
the slumbering population to a sense of
their danger. Tell our legislatures
that rectitude should mark their onward
course; for as they exist upon earth
alone, so arc they rewarded or punish*
ed, llieir individuality like that of man,
I not existing forever. Let us net for a
’ moment cherish the idea that niiv of
| them will ever again pander to the cra
ven appetite of the debased drunkard
■ for political aggrandizement, but that
; truth will be tiie polar star ol their fu

Salem, Ala., Feb. 6th, 18f>3.
Mrs- Morgan’s Substitute for the
Maine Law.
lIY JONIiS SMITH, Jit.
Mrs. Morgan’s husband was an ex
cellent workman, and had tho best wa.
ges, but be would drink, and like most
men in bis class when in liquor, gen
erally beat bis children, and sometimes
his wile.
Mrs. Morgan was a noble woman,
and loved her husband in spite of all,
but after years of patient ferbearance,
she came to the conclusion that Jimmy
Morgan, as sbo called him, should stop
drinking whether or no. In other
words, manufactured a private Maine
law of her own.
The occasion was one day whin Jim
my came home to dinner, half tipsy,
vvriich always happened when he stop
ped at the tavern on his way, and he
did this on un average about twice a
I week.
[ “Now you Morgan,” said she, as
soon as lie entered, “you’ve been at the I
whiskey bottle again—you need’nt do- I
ny it. I know it by your looks—and i
by your breath too—go away you nas
ty beast, how dare vou try to kiss me
when you have been drinking.”
Jimmy Imd essayed this matrimonial
i cares t, hoping it would concilate the
j guide wife; but finding bis purpose
failed be stoo l upon his dignitv.
“Unity, toity,” said he, “how you |
put on airs, (jive us some dinner und 1
don’t sulk.”
Mrs. Morgan did not ofien get roused,;
but she was now. Hhe put her arms !
akimbo arid answered :
“Not a mouthful of dinner do you I
get in this house to-day, nor uny olher
•lay. till you come home sober. Ho the
| sooner you’re oll'tlm better.”
The bull tipsy husband looked at her
in ama/.emeut ! For a moment he
thought of enforcing bis will, as he had
: often done before, but whether lie bad
not drank quite enough to arouse bis
courage, or whether the blazing eye of
bis helpmate L ightened him, he turned j
altor a little hesitation, and left the
I bouse.
Os course lie went straight to the’
tavern, ns Mrs. Morgan rather expected
lie would. And of course when night’
came, bo was led home thoroughly ine. i
briuted, as she rather wished he would
be.
He had just sufficient reason left to 1
wonder at the extraordinary care with!
which his wife, after assisting to un-■
dress him, tucked him in bed. Uut
this, like every Unrig else, was soon
forgotten in a stupid sleep.
bite wailed until satisfied that he was
entirely insensible, when she proceed-1
ed to sew the offender up in sheets, ex
actly as it lie bad been a mummy.—
i’ite stitches were not small, but she
knew they were taken with trebled
thread, an i they would hold especially
as lie eon; J nmv use neither hands or
arms. Unoe or twice be grunted, as if
about to awake, but she stopped a mo
ment at such a lime.
And at iast the proceeding was com
pleted- Ad now stie brought forth a
cart whip, winch she had boi rowed that
afternoon from .% neighbor.
“Now, Jimmy
apostrophising him, “7’ll
ymir beastly habits, or—please
i II whip yau till you’ll he sore forHl
month.”
Hewn came the lush, as vigorously B|
her brawn arm could lay il on; agafl|
again, and yet again, an 1 it seemed ■
ifslie was never going to si op. AiH
very soon, the offender roused from hH|
stupor, saw what il was and began tHf
beg for me icy. .
“Not fill you’ve promised t<- leave oH
drinking,” was the answer, and thß
blows descended more vigorously tinH
over. “Swear to leave olf dnnkiiiH
then.”
“Oli! you'll kill me, you'll kill mc-’l
“No, it will do you good. To tliinll
how drunk you was ten minutes agol
and now to see you rolling abrut scl
lively—never tell me, Jimmy Morganl
that I am killing you ufter that.” 1
“Mercy, mercy, mercy,” roared tlial
criminal. “How can you Polly, usol
your husband so ?”
“1 can and will.” And anothefl
shower of blows descended. “Halloo,l
as much as- you like, for it will do you I
good ; only 1 can tell you one thirrg, it‘|
will not ro iso the neighbors, I told’
Ihein what 1 was going to do if you
came home drunk again. Have you
had enough yet i Wlli you promise
at once, or are you going to hold out
still ! ’
“Oh, oli, oli,” groaned tho ‘lielpless’
husband, twisting and turning in every
direction, hut unable to escape the caw
uruct of blows, “oh, oh, oh.”
“VVill you promise? You'd better
do it quick, ’ resumed his inexorable
spouse, “or I’ll heat you to a jelly.—
j l huso six years I’ve borne your drunk
enness, hut I’ll bear it no longer. I’ve
tried every thing, and now I’m trying’
whipping. You’ve beaten me enough,
and now I’m paying you buck. Prom
ise at once, the quicker tho better, for
I ‘ll not let you up till you do, even if it
kept me here all night, anvd you’re sick
for a week ufterwurds.
It was u good while before the crimi
nal gave in. lie thought bis wife
would tire out at lust, but when the cas
tigator itad proceeded for some time,
und he saw no symptoms of either fa
tigue or relenting, lie was compelled to
succumb.
“I’ll swear, I’ll swear,” he said aC
lust, “I’ll do anything, only let me up.
That's a dear good I‘olly. Oh, dear,
don’t whip me any more, for I’ve said
I’d swear ok f oh 1”
Mrs. Morgan gave him three or four
sound cuts more, to “make assurance
doubly sure,” before she adminstered
the oath, which she did at lust, with the
biDie in tier bunds, completing the cer.
emony by making him kiss the book.
From that night Jimmy Morgan was
never known lo taste liquor. He told
bis neigh hot a thut he hud been so sick,
[ alter his lust spree, that lie bad resolved
to join the temperance society ; but he.
did not tell them whut mude him ill.—
Mrs. Morgan too, kept the secret, nurs
mg him through his bruises, which
were neither few or slight. However,
us he said, “desperate diseases require
desperate remedies und so she never
repented of the medic me she bad ad-,
ministered, even though her husband
did not earn a dollar for three weeks.
Glade Division, S. of TANARUS., No. 145.
Uro. liranlty :—J send you this brief
sketch ofHro H. M. Hewlett’s visit to
our Division and community, for thtr
benelit of yourself and readers, and at It
those interested in the progress of tern-*-
perance. Huy you, “bow goes tlio
night?” “*lh well.” Our brother
gave us a tulk of two hours in the same
old style—advocating Itio force-law villi
much sense and pathos. Tlie Glade is
readv to give the license law an ortho
dox blow, perhaps I bad belter say a
“spiritual rup;” and to those outside of
humanity we would say, this same
“rup” will not be given by persons ex
clusively Hons o! Temperance, but
there uro many disconnected with soci
eties who will poll tlie “no license tick
et that is emphatically the ticket for
Georgia; yes, and wc arc proud to say
it, in honor to our citizens who are not
mdentilied with any organization, they
seem more desirous for “'.hat law” than
the Hons; and at there hands wo will
rect ivu “that luw.”
Bro. Hewlett is on tho right track,
and the enthusiasm of his audience is
ominous. 1 trust uud belfovs Ins sen
timents are the sentiments ot Ogteihoipe

evil and crime increased ; and at these
places the negroes of Georgia planters
