Newspaper Page TextFrom the Temperance Banner. \_ByTlcquest. ] GRAND DIVISION OF GEORGIA. Office of Grand Worthy Batriarch, ? November Ist. f&SO. \ To the Officers and Members of Subordinate Divisions of the Slate of Georgia. Dear Brothers.— ln the beginnng of tho new relation which we sustain to each other, will you permit me. through the oi our Order, to osier a few thoughts, or suggestions, tor your consideration and reflection. And as the space in the Banner, which 1 can reasonably claim, must neces sarily be limited, l shall confine myself to a few prominent suggestions, and then allow you to draw your own conclusions there from. It all the brethren could be brought to realize the nature and extent of the obliga tion which they have taken upon themsel ves as Sons of Temperance, it does seem to me that theio would not” be so much apathy manifested by them. Let me, I earnestlv beseech you, my brethren, to critically exa mine, “line by lino, and word by word,” the pledge which you have taken. It is of the utmost, importance that you fully compre hend it. And 1 would here charge my De puties to usp every means in their power to have the pledge well understood by all the members. I would most respectfully suggest to you, to bo cautions, “in recommending persons for membership.” Recollect that “neither the wealth of an individual, his influential position in society, nor his commanding talents, can entitle him to approach your cir cle, it with till these qualifications lie is found wanting in integrity.” But the upright, houeit man, are the characters we want and are tho ones too, who alone will prove a benefit to our Order. It may appear paradoxically strange to many, but it is nevertheless no more strange than true, that nominal temperance men ex ert a more deleterious influence against tem perance, than the drunkard himself. In the latter case, we receive what we expect of such characters. But not so in the former. When a person becomes a member of our Order, we expect him to comply with the rules and usages of the Order. But how la mentably does some of our brethren fail in this. How often do we have it said that brother A. and I>. have not been to our Di vision for months, and yet they profess to be temperance men. These things my brethren ought not to be so. Let me, there fore, urge upon you the great importance of attending all your meetings promptly. It is not the name of a member alone we want No.’ no.'! We want his presenco at the Division to cheer the wavering onward and upward in his temperance and to pro\oke each other to love and to good works. I would also suggest to the brethren the great propriety of being prompt in paying their weekly dues. This suggestion, l know will be needless to all high min tied temperance men. For all must know, that unless breth ren pay their dues promptly, that the claims of poor sick brethren, however pressing, enn not be supplied, which ought never to be allowed under any erf euinstances. I would also suggest to you, the propriety of holding union meetings, where there are two or more Divisions in a county. Let there be such meetings held at least twice in the year, and at each one let there be an address delivered, and it might greatly add to the interest of the occasion by having a temperance dinner. Meetings of this “sort.” properly conducted, would, in my opinion, be productive of much good to the Older, by the cultivation of a better feeling among the brethren generally. And. in conclusion, l would, from my heart suggest to every Son of Temperance to re solve, in the strength of liis Maker, to influ ence one friend at least to join our Order dur ing the present year. By that means our Order would be doubled. And may the Great Patriarch above influence each otic of us to act as though the perpetuity of our Or der depended alone upon our individual ex ertion. All of which is presented to your serious consideration, in L. P. & F. P. A. LAWSON, G. W. P. fV” Papers friendly to the cause will please copy. • From the Morning News. TO JOSEPH. I dare thee to forget me—go, wander where thou wilt, Thy hand within another’s grasp, or on the sabre’s hilt. Away ! thou’rt free! o’er land or sea—go rush to danger’s brink But oh ! thou canst not fly from thought— thy curse shall think ! Remember me! remember all my true and trusting love, linked itself to perfidy—the vulture and the dove. Remember, from your poverty I never once did shrink, But clung to thee confidingly—thy curse shall be to think ! Away, false one ! I would not grieve fur one so base us thou ; •Let retrospection sound the words you min gled in your vow ; I’ll teach my heart to scorn the wretch who broke the holy link — And when thy looks are light and gay—thy curse shall be to think! Go seek the merry banquet hall, whore fair # er maidens bloom ; But thoughts of me shall make thee there enjoy the deepest gloom ; Thy thoughts shall turn the festive cup to poison while you drink ; And while false smiles are on thy cheek—thy curse shall be to think! Forget me ! no—that shall not be ! I’ll haunt thee iu thy sleep; * In dreams thou’lt cling to slipping rocks that overhang the deep ; Ihou’lt shriek for aid— my feeble arm shall hurl thee from the brink— And when thou wakest in wild dismay—thy curse shall he to think! Anna. Savannah, JXov. 20, 1850. A youtid girl, Mademoiselle Terese Taures, lias been making a great sensation at Rome by her performance on the violoncello. The rise of the Nile this year is reported to be below the average, and it is feared it is next years crops will suffer from it. In the Sardinian dominions there are 9820 monks and 2840 nuns, that is, one monk for every '0 inhabitants, and one nun for every 1645. * POST C R IP T I ONE O’CLOCK, P. M. FIRE ! A b ire broke out last night about 8 o’clock, 5,1 u wo °deti building in Bryan Street, near the corner of East Broad, occupied by Mr. Sullivan, and owned by the est. of Worthing- I he flames rapidly communicated to the suiiounding buildings, some twenty of which were consumed. Tho tenements were chiefly occupied by the humbler class of citizens, and the loss lo them will be seri ously felt, owing chiefly to the scarcity of houses. We understand that a gentleman of wealth came nobly forward in their behalf and headed the list with a subscription of S3OO. Tho Firetneu worked nobly, but owing to a scant of water for a short time, five or six houses, that might otherwise have been saved, were destroyed. A body of Seamen did ef ficient service at the hooks. But wo regret to say, that a citizen when applied to by a member of one of our Fire Companies, for a htrle oil to renew a torch light, refused it. Distressing Casualty.— We learn from the Af D,lll y Register, that an infant child of i .c. Daniel \V. Gladden, living in the Eastern pari of tairfield District, was accidentally burned t<> death, on f- relay the Bth iu*t, at the residence of its father. The circumstances, as related, are as follows: ‘file child, a girl, aged three months, was Iving ni the cradle, some distance from the fire place, asleep, when the presence of the mother was de manded to another department. On her return tin-* crud e was discovered to lie in flames, suppos ed to have been communicated by a spark am mg the netting which covered the cradle. The child survived but fifteen minutes, when it expired. 1 ids is truly an afflicting bereavement, and its should teach parents never to allow their little ones to be alone, especially when fire is on the hearth. John McDonnongh’s Will lias been received. It gives six thousand dollars and house to bis sis ter, Mrs Cole, of Baltimore, and $23,000 annual -13 to the American Bible Society, and the bulk, of bis property, amounting to over SIO,OOO-,000, to New Orleans and Baltimore, for establishing Schools and Asylums for the Boor. lie bequeathes a large sum lo the American Colonization Society. Seventeen Executors are appointed, including tii> following Baltimoreans—Bemjamin C Howard, John B Kennedy, John C Smith, Brantz Mayer, Henry Duller, and also Henry Clay and R C Gur ley. ■An English paper hasbcpn started at Shanghai-, under the title of the North China Herald. The establishment of the Dominicans in France has been canonically recognised by the Bope. The Rev. George Copwav, the Ojibwny chief, delivered a lecture on the North American Indians at the Hall oi Commerce, in London, on Tuesday. The man who is just and firm in his purpose, cannot he shaken in his determined mind, either by tinea’s or promises. Every man ought to aim at emi lrnce not bv pul ling otfiers down, but by raising himself.. Speak a< you mean ; do as you profess, an 1 per forin what you promise. PLASTERS’ PRICES JIMXT. ARTICLES.
