Wiih so rnuny thousands joys, is it. not black ingrati tude to cal! the world a place 61 sor row and torment ? — Richter. [From Charabor’s Journal.] An Apologj for Rugbaads- We do not use this word “apology” in its legitimate sense, us a defence or vindication ; we are satisfied witli the common meaning assigned to it; that is, an excuse or extenuation of un admit ted oifenoo. Husbands as a general rule are to blame ; there is no doubt of that; only we think there are sotno small out aside rations which might be urged in their favor, net by way es ex alting, hut merely of letting them down easily. The humane idea was long of occur ring to ut; for one gels so thoroughly accustomed to thocondition ot rdlairs in 1 society, that everything seems nutural 1 and necessary, and passer on without! exciting a thought. But u week or two ago, we had occasion to visit repeated ly a rather largo and agreeable family without once chancing to meet with the 1 offender; and this had tho effect of bringing him before our cogitations. Had fie boon present in tho room, he would have pussed as a natural and useful piece of furniture, and so have eleaped ail special survey, but being obstinately absent, we of course turned tiia bull’s-eye of our mind upon him, and had him up. \\ ith regard to thejfamily present, it consisted of a wife, ouo or two children, one or two growing up, and a couple of grown-up daughters. All these were busy, from dolls and A 13 C’s to dress making and house keeping. One of, lie- daughters sung and played delight-, • f,/ v : another was an artist of consi-i PENFLELD, GA. APRIL 23, {853. erable merit for an amateur; and both j were adepts at needle-work. Tiny I boasted of making all bsst their host j bonnets, and all but their ball-dresses, j Tho n other was an excellent manager. IJtsder her charge the business of the house went on like olouk-work ; every thing wascomiorlable, everything tsgroe able, everything genteel. The boys were at school studying hard and suc cessfully ; one intending to be a mer chant-prince. another to sit sonde day on the Woolsack, and tho third to be Archbishop of Canterbury. Indeed, they wore an exemplary family ; and one day whoa we met thu lady in the street, with her two grown-up daugh ters by her side, and th - younger girls walking tripping behind, all nicely dressed nuj hupp)-looking, it struck us that there was an expression of pride as well us pleasure in her face, and that she was inwardly assuming to herself the merit of having made her own posi tion. We did not grudge her the feel ing, for her self satisfaction had been earned ; if some snob inward reward did not attend good conduct, it would bo all tho worse for us in this world. Wo had visited this happy family sevoral times when wo began toinquiro while walking homeward in our usual meditative mood, whut it was that held them together in so enviable a position. Their labors were all for themselves, for their own comfort, amusement, gen j tility, advancement. They purchased | nothing else with all this outlay of time I and money. Thoro they were with no object but that of passing the day, of enjoying life, of rising to some oondi tion of still higher distinction of con j tontment. How did they find this pos | sible ? By what power were they sus j tained immoveable in the shocks of so \ cial life, surrounded by all the cares and anxieties, und competitions and heart-burnings, and teur and wear, and burry und scurry of tho world ? Here we euught with our mind’s eye the ab sentee and immediately suspected that he was at the bottom of it! But it was curious to think that lie should be the I sun of this social system —that so many i individuals should loan supinely upon • one without the slightest idea of mutual support. Yetso it was—and is. So oioty is composed throughout almost its whole consistence of such circles, each wheeling with more or loss harmony, but still wheeling round a centre; and that centre is the offender we have now U P; This individual, let us say, is uncon scious of his own predicament. Ho 1 knows ho Ims a wife and children, a 1 house and servants to provide for and |he does provide. That is all. He ; takes no merit to himself, and none is due. In supporting this Atiantean bur den, ho only does what ethers do. Anil so he bends bis shoulders, and on he j goes ; sometimes stepping out like a gi j ant, sometimes tottering, sometimes j standing still to bemoan his fortune— l not in having the load to boar, but in | being unable to bear it well. If thing* |go smoothly—if hie children are well taught, if his dinner and his daughter are well dressed, if his house is tidy and genteel--why, then, if lie is a praise- J worthy person, he thanks God and his * wifo. If things otherwise he grum bles at his hard fate, and makes himself as disagreeable as possible, or else trun dies his canister like a stoic; but all lliia time, be it observed, iri utter uncon sciousness of his true position. He I does not think that he is travelling in his round otlife, with a tail after him like a comet. He does not think about it all. He only knows that the thing exists, and must be borne. If he is able j of his own strength to bear it bandsorne j ly, so much the belter ; but if not, he ! never speculates on the possibility of I deriving comfort and support from what is naturally n burden, any more than the wife and children imagine that they are anything elv: than, with nothing in the world to think of, or to do, hut to j stick fast to the body which they ohane” to be attach ‘d, and malic themselves as, comfortable r.s possible. Arid this last is the curious part of! thes'.ory ; the amiable family we have j described, talk f the individual we! have laid hold of, with the perfect ! knowledge the: o was their centre hut; without the faintest oonsciousnenr that! there was anything hut the mechanical ; tie between them. They humored him I when he waa in good humor; called him a dear, good, old papa, got tiis slip pers ready, and drew in his chair to the hearth, for that made the room more the cheerful for theme and ves; but when in bad humor they avoided or crossed him, wondering how anybody could look sulky ut such a bright firesido and sus-! petting him to be a man incapable of feeling interest in anything but liis husi - ness, or his clerks, or his banker’* book. Was not his wife to bo piled, after ali ! I she ha J done to make him happy and ‘ , respectable ? And was not tins a eirry j ’ return to his daughters, for saving him ! a mint of money by making their own ! ! dresses? These excellent ladies half ‘nothing to do with the stability of their! centre. The house might be on fir but they wore only lodgui s. They had no interest in the oilerider when ho was out of tboir sight. They knew nothing of his crosses and loss vs, of his disap pointments and vexations, of his fainti ness and weariness ; they saw nothing but discontent oil his wrinkling brow, nothing but approaching age in his whiteniug hair, nothing Imt ill humor in his querulous voice, nothing hut self ish apathy in his spiritless eyo und sinking heart. They loved the husban I and the fathor when he was agreeable enough to be loved ; but they had no sympathy with the struggling matt. This is the ground of our apology, j That tho husband is a had fellow is on ly too clear, but we would suggest that, there are extenuating circumstances. Th*. wont! is a hard task-muster, and j ho who strives with it must submit; sometimes to the hard word and hard! blow. His blow cannot always be 1 dear or his mind present. He cannot j always he ill the mood to feel the ocfiii- ! fort lie sees; and he will sometimes sit i down oven at a bright tiro-side, with i bright faces around him and feel as if j ho wore in a desert. L sympathy, dear ladies only for tho happy/ Is not his business yours? Is it politic as well as kind to protect from feeling the rubs of the world that intelligent and suseeptiblo machine to which you owe your all? In low life, in middle life, in high life however the same curious arrangement prevails hither to so far as we know, undescribod or misunder stood. A similarity of taste ia doubtless, de sirable, if on one side, unobslrusive or undemonstrative; but what is really wanted is sympathy with the man—con siderulion tor the Allas who carries the household on his shoulders. Wo roud. ily pardon the fYotfulness of the sick; we consent without hesitation to tread lightly bv the couch of pain, but who can toll what sickness of tho heart, what torture of the head, may be indicated in that troubled look, that gloomy eye, that rigid lip, that thoughtful brow? Is it more than womanly to boar with a harsh word—to stoal round the offen der with the noiseless step —to soothe him with a soft word or a loviug look, to remember that to him his family owe their comfort and tranquillity—that ho is like a rook, in tho lee of which they reelina safety, while on its bald uud whitened head break the thunder und the storm. Yes, in his ease there aro extonu atirig circumstances. But lot him be ware that ho does not plume himself upon them, instead of regarding them as merely something that would justify a humane judge in recommending him to mercy. Sympathy cannot long exist 1 unanswered; and the action and res ! pouse cannot take place but between ! minds that are in a state rapport. We will take you, sir as your own witness. Do you tuke care to place yourself habitually in this state with your fam ily? 1 f you do not enter into their feel ings, do you expoot them to enter yours? Are you content to bo defined as mere ly “tho gentleman who draws cheques?” j *sr do you loach thorn that you are u little community of individuals, sifted together by God ar v d nature for mutual soluce anil support, with one moral be ing, one int*-rest, one love, one hope? !Do not answer in a hurry. Think of j it, dream of it, ponder over it. There !—that will do. Stand down sir. [From the Southern I’atriot.] Spirit Rapping. What is Spirit Rapping ? Is it reali ty, or is it humbuggery l 1 confess my doubts.

Hditors, trespass somewhat upon your columns, in order to present what I oonosive to he true Sciipture doctrine on the subject; for this is no new tiling under the sun—it is at least three thousand throe hundred and forty years old. H what it pre tends bo, there was a lime when min isters, or servants, of the Most High made it t.ho subject of more especial de nunciation than it lias received from that honoruble class of men of the nine teenth century. If a humbug, it is at least worthy of condemnation. But to the Bible : Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Kamak, even in his own city. And Saul bad put away those that had va miliar srmiTs, and the wizards, out of the land. And the Philistines gathered them solves together, and came and pitched in Bhmnen : and daul gathered all Is rael together, and they pitched in fei boa. And when tssu! saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. And when Saul inquired of the Horu. the Houn answered him not, neither by dreams, nor bv Urim, nor In prophets. Then su'd 3-iul” unto hi- s.-rv nits, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar | spirit, that l may go to her, and inquire of tier. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath u familiar spirit ut Lanlor. And Saul dis gusted himself, und put on other raiment, and lie went, und two men with him, and they cumo to the woman by night: and lit; said, l pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up whom l shall namo unto theo. And the woman sain unto him, Behold, thou knowost whut Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wi/.urds, out of the land: wherefore, then, layout thou u snare for my life, to cause me to die ? And Saul aware to her l>y tho Lord saying, /Is the Lord livotli, there shall no pun ishment happen to luce tor this thing. Then said tho woman, Whom shall 1 bring up unto thee? And lie said, Bring mo up Samuel. And when tho woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voioo ; and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived mo ? for thou art Saul. And the king said unto her, Be not afraid ; fur what sawest thou ? And tho woman said unto Saul, 1 saw gods ascending ou t of tho earth. And ho said unto her, Whut form is he of? And she said, An old man corneth up; and ho t's cov ered with u mantle. And Saul per ceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to thu ground, anil bowed himself. And Samuel said to Saul, Why bust thou disquieted me, to bring mo up/ And Saul answered, 1 uni sore dis tressed; lor the Philistines make war against mo, und God ia departed from me, und unswercth nte no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams ; therefore l have cullod ttiee, that thou muyest make known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore, then, dost thou usk of me, seeing the Lord is departed from iftue, an I is become thy enemy ? Ami tho Louu hath done to him as ho spake by me: for the Lord bath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbor, •ee/t to David : because thou oboyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor oxocu todst his tiorce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath tho Loud do.io this thing unto t ioe this day. M„roover, tlit-Lohu will ulso deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; und to-mor row shall thou and thy sous he with me: tho Loro ulso shall deliver the host of Isruel into the hand of tho Philistines. Thou Saul fell straightway all along ou the earth, and was soro afraid, be cause of the words of Samuel: und there wa3 no strength in him; for he hud eaten no bread all llte day, uor all the night. And the woman Cutile unto Saul, and saw that he wus sore troubled, uud said unto him, Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, uud i liuve put iny life in my hand, und have hearkened j unto thy words which thou spakest tin- j tome.

For the Temperance Bauucr, Stauhsvillb, Git., March 31, ’53, Dear Banner .-—Our usually quiet humic* was thrown into a stuto of up run lions excitement yesterday bv tho |>< eseneo among us ofS. M.

Hewlett had never been here before in person,—but whoro is it tliut his name has not been * l lie very expectation of his coming was, for days previous, tho ull-absorb. ing theme of our rural gossip. Rurly then, on yesterday’s morn, “all sorts of pooplo” might be seen wending their way ab omni parte to tho place of rendezvous, lit cue lime tho expected speaker made his appearanco; und at the appointed hour lie rose to uddross a respectable and intelligent audioac*. Some ol us hud hoard him before and were, consequently, prepared for what wus to follow. But tho uudiouce geu* orally, had never heard him, and—aa a mutter of course—ore ho hud spokeu ten minutes, found themselves dumb founded uud spell hound. Who cun describe Bro. Hewlett's inunnor of speaking ? At one time you could at. most fancy that you’ hoard the fairy tones ‘dial the wandering breezes have awakened Irom tho quivering strings of the Loleunharp. Anon tho broa** had swelled into the stonu, und now yen fancied that yon heard’ thu roaring tor. rent, the bursting thunder, and thu deaf, being melee of tho sweeping larreuta 1 At one lime ho would have us sad uud ready to weep, as he painted, on tkn spirit ounvita within us, a vivid piolura of thu squalled, uud the rugs, uud thu vA>e, and tho ruin', that follow iu thu wake of the demon alcohol, us lie tramps with his iron heel oh tko bleeding hearty of hi* million victims. Aguin, our cuoliimulions could not ho quelled as iu his inimitable mimicry he fairly beat the opposing vulgus iu thoir own slung. Tho ttusal twang of tho poor drunkard, the rich broguo of green Erin’* rod nosed son, the blus tering braggardiam of the fop, and tba lisping monotone of tho flirt, all spaUe out iu their native simplicity, calling for thoir tribute due—a spasmodic con traction ol the visible muscles, uud a gctiiul expansion of tho os humunum. But thi.i was not all. Mr. Hewlett’ not only spake to please the fancy aud to affect the feelings—ho spoke *.o con vince the, judgment. Perhaps ut no | former ported bus the temperance ouusc been one of vuslor moment to tho pot*, j plo of Georgia titan now. Perhaps the tomperunoe lecturer never bot'uru had ! a more solemn responsibility resting [Upon him than now. Mr. Hewlett felt > tins, and he did his duty. He nobly land boldly stood forth in defence of the now dawning, but ull ugituting inovb meni, on the purl of the friends of'tem poranco in our beloved Georgia.
