THE DEVIL RIGHT FOR OBK*.
The New York correspondent of the Congrcga
uonalist writes:
Dr. H. ( who is pastor of an Orthodox church, has
been for some time annoyed by the forwardness of a
kv brother to “speak” whenever an opportunity was
offered, to the frequent exclusion of those whose re
marks had a greater tendency to edification. This
bad been carried so far that the pastor, whenever he
stated that “an opportunity would now be afforded
for any brother to otter an exhortation,” had always
a secret dread of the loquacious member.
On one special occasion (he latter prefaced a prosy,
incoherent harangue, with sn account of a previous
controversy he had been carrying on with the great
ndveisary.
“My friends,” said he, “the devil and I have been
fighting for more than twenty minutes ; ho told me
not to speak to night, but I determined I would ; he
said some of the rest could speak better than I, but
still I felt that I could not. keep silent; hcoven whis
pered that I spoke too often, and that nobody want
ed to hear me, but J was not to he put down that
wav, and now that I have gained the victory, I roust
tell you all that is in iny heart.” Then followed the
tedious harangue aforesaid.
Ah they were coming out of the session room, the
good pastor inclined his head so that his mouth ap
proached the ear of the militant member, and whis
pered, “Brother, 1 think the deril ira# right!”
HIGHER.
Higher! is a word of noble meaning, the inspira
tion of all great doeds -lhe sympathetic chain that
leads, link by link, tho impassioned non) to its zenith
Os glory, and still holds its mysterious object stand
ing and glittering among the stars.
Higher 1 lisps the infant that clasps it* parent’s
Luces, and makes its feeble msay to rise from tho
floor- it is the first aspiration of childhood—to burst
the narrow confines of the cradle, in MliicL its sweet
moments have been passed forever.
Higher I laughs the proud school boy at his swing;
oi as he climbs the tallest tree of (hi forest, that he
may look down on his less adventurous companions
with a flush of exultation, and abroad over tho fields
of his native village. He never saw ho extended a
pros peel before.
Higher! earnestly breathes the student of phifos
ophy and nature; ho has a host of rivals, but he
must eclipse them all. The midnight oil in his faiup
burns dim. but he finds light and knowledge in the
Umps of heaven, and his soul is never weary when
the last of them is hid behind the curtains of the
morning.
And higher ’ his voice thunders forth, when the
dignity ol manhood hat Invested his form, and the
multitude is listening with delight, to hi.* oracles
burning with eloquence and ringing like true steel
in the cause of freedom and right. And w hen time
kv; changed hi.* locks to silver, and when the world
uidc renown is his; when the maiden gathering
flowers hy the roadside, and boy in the field, bow in
tcvereiico as he passes; and the peasant looks to him
with honor—can he breathe forth from his heart the
fond wish of the past I
Higher, yet 1 ho has reached the apex of oarthly
lienor, yet his spirit burns as warm as in youth,
though with a steadier and a paler light, and it would
borrow wings and soar up to high heaven, leaviugits
tenement to moulder among tlie laurels he has wound
an mud it for the never ending glqry to be reached
only tu the presence of the Most High !

KISSES TRACKLESS.
“I found not Cussio’s kisse* on her lip--”
Though lips speak and say often what they sltould
not, their Kisses are voiceless and heroic in their
prudence. These rosy ministers of Love come and
go with ethereal lightness, whence, and whither only
their giver knoweth. Like sharers of the Eleusinian
mysteries, they thrill with fascination; hut their se
cret finds a grave amid its own sweetness.
The purest bliss is speechless and traceless; and
Ho a Kiss: it comes all heautilul hh a rainbow, and is
gone, with no lingering hue of its presence, The
bright blue of the sky is there again;- and there,
too, the soft crimson of the lips, gently trembling for
the parting of the nil-nt stranger, with iro record of
the lovely Hojourn.
\N ell is it that Kisses have no form and make no
footstep; are of the soul -its pulsing toward sympa
thy, ideal-shaped in the mirror of the heart. Aph
rodite thus has ordered it, that her votaries and chil
dren might be blessed thereby; that the Kiss of to
day might not be conscious of the one of you tor-night;
that tho lips vi e greet this moment, may hoar no love
print of the moment gone.
Kisses have no past nor future; they and happi
ness are in the present. No memory nor imagina
tion ncedoth they to maka- their eharm ; they arc all in
the now—u brief eternity. The ardent lover comes;
beholds the smile of her he lores; presses her, an
embodied Paradise, to his bounding,breast. The
honey of her lip melts softly upon his own, and he is
blessed. The other Kiss, the many Kisses of his
rival lie knows not ot—-the Kisses reveal not, and
ignorance is joy .
The doating husband meets w ith balmy touch the
offered, smiling mouth of her whose fate is bound to
his. He hearkens to her word, and is grateful for its
peace. The wurtmh of the Kisses left hv his friend (?)
burns him not-reminds him not of the frailtv of
woman, the poverty of trust. He believes her inno
cent, and his slundiers arc disturbed not with visions
of her (HTtidy. Beneath his own Kisses, those othes
rise not in monster shape to devour for aye hie quie
tude and faith.
The blue gaze of that fair maiden booms in confi
dence and a w orld of affection on him on whom her
form and spirit Iran. He listens to her artless tale
of devotion, and when he sees her happiness grow
moist within her eye, he whispers of his love in syl
lables of Kisses, and makes her happier still. Gentle
girl, she recks not ot tho unholy Kiss, from lipstn*
chaste, her only-loved hath brought in bus* exchange
for all her purity. She finds m> heartiessness. no’
wanton’s impress there.
What jealousies and pangs and heart-burnings and
doeifa of guilt and years of sorrow are we spared in
that our Kisses leave no truce behind! Happy mor
tals in the .thought that Kisses which we take are
only ours, and which we give are merely fellows to
our own.
Kisses, as the many kindly delusions of the World,
stand sponsors for our Peace between us and the
cruel Truth. Let us be grateful they are traceless;
for their tracelessness concealeth the weakness of
humanity, the fraudtilencc of Love -Dollar Time#.

PENFIELD, GEORGIA
SaUmhy Morning, September 29. 1855.
FOR GOVERNOR,
B. H. OVER BY,
OF ITLTON.
THE ELECTION
Before our next issue, the people of Georgia will
have decided who will be their rulers—will have ex
ercised the important and responsible right ol‘ suf
frage, and determined, to some extent at least, the
complexion of our State policy during the next ad
ministration. It behooves every good citizen to re
flect seriously, to ponder well the issues of the day,
before he deposits the one vote in the ballot I*jx,
- which may decide questions of such momentous im
portance.
“When you go to cast your vote, fellow-citizens, re
uu.mtier that Liquor has imposed an edoruous
amount of taxation upon the sober and industrious,
to support Urn drunken and idle -tbnt Rrv is the
cause of crime, of pauperism, and of t-verv degra
dation -that jails, penitentiaries', poor-houses and
asylums, are constructed and paid for out of your
pockets, to support the victims of the licensed grog
shop system, and vote for a removal of the cause of
all this taxation and expense. Vote for a prohibi
tion of the Liquor Traffic—vote to close these flood
gates of pestilential vice, grog-shops—to shut and
forever seal these dark dens of infamy and death!
| Remember, when you go to the polls, that there
jis a fierce, insatiable demon at.road in the land, des
! oiating the fairest fields of society, under the sanc
tion and authority of the State Legislature that
jthi-s Foe of Mani- privileged, at any time, to enter
I your home, violate the “sacredneas of your domicil,”
! wither with his pestilential wreath every flower that
; “maketh glad” lhgarden of Domestic Happiness—
quench, forever quench, with his dark, fearful, death
foreboding shadow, the last glimmering spark that
cheers and gladdens the happy hearthstone -that he
may twine about your hoy of promise his serpent
folds, and with a demoniacal strength crush every
noble aspiration, every hope of promise, hind him
body and soul ilia disgraceful bondage to the Prince
of Darkness, and coiis'ign him at last, a ruined man,
a wretched vagabond, a disgrace to his father, a
curse to his mother, to the deep and lasting ignominy
of a drunkard’s grav'e. Remember, also, that when
the Demon enters a home, he leaves tne door open,
and the cold blasts of poverty, and the losing tem
pest ot the world’s scorn and contempt enter, and
Disgrace, and Woe. and Misery, and haggard Want,
are the vultures and hyena- that follow after and
fatten upon his victims—remember all these things,
and vote for protection from the fell monster—pro
tection ot your firesides from his dangerous approach
—protection of your homes from his blighting influ
ences the protection of your property—the protec
tion of your children —the protection of all that is
near and dear to man!
Remember, r>n Election day, how many thousands
of your fellow-citizens arc groaning under the tyran
ny of Alcohol- how many innocent children arc suf
fering the penalties of their parents’ misdoings-—!
how many helpless, inoffensive w omen are the wives
of besotted drunkards, and arc suffering all the mis
eries of earth’s deepest degradation -how many
strong men, who arc exerting every nerve, to free
themselves from tlie iriind-enslaviug, soul-damning
bondage of Appetite, and fail not to give them a
helping hand. Listen to the teachings of your own
experience— review the blood-stained historv of Al
cohol, that has conic under your own observation
hear the voice of humanity, that is calling to you in
thunder tones, from every alley and l>y-way of hu
! limit existence—hear the cries of ragged hungry or
phans, the prayers and entreaties of disgraced and
down trodden woman, and the despairing groans of
the “strong man in his agony,” and tmn not a deaf
ear to the voice that is continually rising from the
abodes of woe and misery, beseeching for ‘'help
for earth's suffering million*.” Li:r von; voter nr;
in: van in favor or HUMANITY.
Look at the past history of Intemperance—observe !
the desolations of its blood-stained course— read the
fearful revelations of its tear-stained records —note 1
the bleaching wrecks of human happiness that mark ‘•
every footstep of its direful progress— see the foot
prints of its colossal tread in crushed and bleeding
human hearts, and ask yourself if the future shall
l>e as the past— if the monster shall still run and riot,
unrestrained, if the hoary iniquity, foul with the cor-.
ruption of age®, shall still scourge the nations, if the
Temple of Blood shall still lift its hcaven-delying!
summit to the sky, and darken all earth with its’
death-distilling shadow? If you would check the
monster, if you would eradicate the tell scourge, if:
you would overthrow the temple built with human
hones and cemented with blood, give your vote in
favor of our cause, add your voice to the “voice of
doom,” that is destined to pronounce the utter de
duction of THIS MONSTKOVS OVFKGROW X ABOMINATION.
Ponder well the issues before you, think seriously
upon the questions that will arise in your own mind,
reflect solierly upon the interest involved in casting
your one cote, free yourself from party influence, and
you will cast a vote that will not lie lost—it will be
|recorded in eternity -a vote that you will never he.
[ashamed of— a vote in favor of Truth, of Humanity—
; a vote for the great cause of Prohibition—a vote for
one of G.-- .ia’s xomfst sons, B, H OVERBY.

I would allow party spirit to induce them to adopt the
suicidal policy of repealing eui h i law, and tints ex
posing iho country tv * all the horrors and evils of an
unrestrained Liquor Traffic, i’he parties, now in
power in Maine, though they may not favor all the
provisions of the Maine Liquor Law, are neverthe
le-sin favor of the principle of Prohibition, and will
doubtless embody it in a statute which will accom
plish the desired end of lessening the evil- of Intern

lu the same manner, the opposition papers have
been publishing to the world, that the Law in New
York has been a failure. In tin- State of New York,
the Law has been more successful limn its most san
guine friends could have hoped. The “wish,’’ in all
those cases, I* “father to the thought,” and henco
no reliance can he placed in such statement-, ha
failure in several cases would he no argument against
tlie Law, but it ha- not failed in a single case, and
in some cases, where even its friends were doubtful
of its success and practicability, it has acted like a

Wo take the following from the Savannah Journal
and Courier, and would ask every candid reader if
tjie evils referred to ought not to he corrected. J low
shall it he done
By referrence to the recent homicide of a negro in
another column, some facts will he seen suggestive
of a state of things in this part of our populaion,
which should not exist, and which cannot endure
without danger, both to them, and to us. The col
lision which terminated thus fatally, occurred at an
hour past midnight, at a time when none but the
evil disposed are. stirring, unless driven by necessity,
and yet, at that hour, those negroes and others, as
many as chose, were passing about the country, with
ample opportunity to commit any act which might
happen to enter their heads. In fact they did en
gage in the public highway in a broil terminating in
homicide. It is not difficult to imagine that their
evil passions might have taken a very different di
rection with as little danger of meeting control or ob
stacle.
But it is shown too, that to the impunity thus giv
en them by thodarkness of midnight was added, the
| incitement to crime, drawn from the abuse of liquor.
They had just left one of those resorts where the
negro is supplied with the most villanously poisonous
compounds, lit only to excite him to deeds of blood
and violence. The part that this had in the slaugh
ter of Saturday night, we arc enabled only to imag
ine. But experience would teach us that its share
was by no means small. Indeed we have the declar
ation of the slayer, that the blow by which he was
exasperated so as to return it, by the fatal stab, was!
inflicted by a bottle of brandy! In this fact wc fear,
is a clue to the whole h'story of the transaction.
Here evidently are considerations deserving the.
grave notice of those not only who own negroes, but j
of all others, who live ina society where they are j
-held. Here too, are unquestionably evils which!
should be corrected.

A ItHKi-H. Editors- -The course pursued by the Know
Nothings, since hat ing alluicd Temperance men into
their order, has displeased many. They say they
were told that the party would encourage and pr'-
mnte the temperance reform, and that they went into
it with this expectation ; but though by uniting with
the Temperenee men, they could have made an easy
and sure work of relieving the country from the eiil
of tlie liquor shops, yet they have shown a fixed pm
pose to afford to this measure no aid. Overby, wc
i understand, was one of their order, and is a man of
Ia much higher order of talents than Andrews, and i
: a man of laborious business habits, with a character
of stainless moral and religious purity; yet, because,
ami only because he is in favor of repealing the law
which licenses the retail of liquor, and was incapable
Jof performing that deceptive vote, catching work
which pnrties are apt to require, they would not
