VOKZBY. The Firemen’s Son?. Oh ! have you heard that a raging fire, Is burning up both son and sire ; Awake and hear the startling cry, And quickly to the rescue ily. Chorus-. So here we come with pure cold water, Here we come with pure cold water, We will never, never tire. The victims to this dreadful woe, Do'never all theii danger know; Until the fire has burned m long, it flares on high and rages ? sitrong. So here come, &c. When loudthey raise their heart-felt cry, Oh ! who shall find thelemedy ; Come on iny boys, your bring, The pledge, the we’ll gaily sing. So here we come, &c. While water flows alfpurc and good, This raging fire can be subdued With eager heart and bodies stout, We’ll water bring and put it out. So here we come, &e. The mother with a deep drawn sigh, And daughter with appealing cry, ■ Invite us to the Temperance Hall, And we have eotne at beauty’s call. So here we come, &c. And we will do our best to save Their dear ones from a drunkard’s grave; Then here we come with purpose high, And in this cause we’ll live and die. So here we come, &c. We’ll ring the bell and give the alarm, For alcohol will do great harm ; We’ll sound the warning far and near And go to work with right good cheer. So here we come, &c. Enlisted in this glorious cause, We’ll drive it on and never pause, Till Alcohol is fairly drowned, We'll spout cold water all around. So here we come, &c, From the Cryetal Fount. Your Goblets Fill. Sparkling and bright is the hallowed light, O’er our glorious banner beaming; May virtue and peace with our flag increase, While reform on its folds is gleaming. Then your goblets fill from the gurgling rill, Till the tyrant's legions vanish ; And the ruthless foe like summer’s snow, With the mother’s tears are banished. Arish in your might, destroy the blight Os misery, sighs and sadness ; Tears cense to flow, henrts cense to woe— Loud raise the shouts of gladness. Then your goblets fill, &c. ’Ti« left with us to arrest the curse, Which sails on eagle’s pinions; •Our cause will save from the. drunkard’s grave, And crush the foe’s dominions. Then your goblets fill, &c. { Temperance and Religion. As w'efxpccted, the temperance reform which has been |weeping over the country with such power, for the last two years, is now being fol lowed up by the most extraordinary religious ex citement this country has ever witnessed. Al most every newspaper has some allusion to revi vals in their vicinity, and in very many cases, the fact is mentioned, that reformed drunkards are uniting with the church It is also an interest ing fact that in most places where the temjtr ance reform has made an impression, religious excitements follow ; this was long since an es tablished historical fact, and recent events have also shown that ihe power of revivals is gradua ted by the previous force ot the temperance ex citement. These are important considerations for Christians, and should induce them to urge forward the cause of temperance. A son of the Emerald Isle, who had just arri ved at New York the other day, was asked by an acquaintance to take a glass of grog, but de clined, giving as a reason for his refusal, that he had joined the temperance society in Cork, be fore leaving Ireland. His friend replied, that was no as a pledge given in Ire land was not binding here. To this piece of letl handed morality, Patrick indignantly retorted, “ Do ye suppose whin l brought me body to Aine ricy, I’d be afther laving me sowl in Ireland 1” Horrors of the French Revolution. Never were the finest affections|more warmly excited, or pierced with crueller wounds. Whole families were led to the scaffold for no other crime than their relationship; sisters for shedding tears over the death of their brothers in the emigrant armies; wives who lamented the fate of their husbands, innocent peasant girls, for dancing with the Prussian soldiers; a woman giving suck and whose milk spouted in the face of the execu tioner at the fatal stroke, merely for saying as a group were conducted to slaughter, “ Here is much blood shed for a trifling cause!” The peuplc were goaded from tame into wild beasts. Not they, but their boastful oppressors turned pale, and crouched to the earth. Liberty, like the bruised adder, turned and struck its mor tal fangs, inflamed with rage and hate, into those who wished to crush it. The vilest and meanest of mankind were brought into contact with the pain(ered and the high-born—rag-seller, dog clippers, thieves, mendicants, with the haughty noble, the dignified prelate, the elegant courtier ; and for one short hour misery showed to gran deur no more mercy than it had always received from it. Power of Cod. The sun is as large as 337,000 of our worlds. Jupiter is as large as 1,281 ot our worlds. Mer cury flies along, in its path at the rate of twenty miles a second. Uranus is seventeen times as large as our world, one billion eight hundred mil lions of miles from the sun. and flies along at the rate of two hundred and forty miles every min ute ! Here, then, is the power of God ! A world, with all its mountains, and oceans, and king doms, is but a pebble in the hands of the Al mighty. The Philosopher and the Ferryman. A philosopher stepped on board a ferry boat to cr. ss a stream —on the passage, he inquired of the ferryman if he understood arithmetic. The man looked astonished. Arithmetic! no sir, I never heard of it before.” The philosopher re plied, “ I ain very sorry, tor one quarter of your life is gone.” A few minutes after, he asked the ferryman, “Do you know anything of Mathe matics 1” '[’he boatman smiled, and replied, “no.” “Well, then, another quarter of your life is gone.” A third question was asked the ferryman: “Do you understand astronomy 1” “Oh! no, sir; never heard of such a thing.” “Well, my friend, then another quarter of your life is gone.” Just at that moment the boat ran on a snag, and was sinking, when the ferryman jumped up, pulled off his coat, anil asked the phil osopher, wuh great earnestness of manner. “ Sir, can you swiml” “ No,” said the philosopher. “ Well, then,” said the ferryman, “your whole life is lost, for the boat’s going to bottom!” Wonders of Mesmerism. * * “ The next experiment was upon ‘the com munity of sensation.’ The operator atean apple and the pig seemed much pleased with the taste. When the operator had finished the apple, the pig held up his snout as if desirous of more of the same fowl. The operator retired some dis tance and read a note which was handed him. The pig seemed to understand the contents, and nodded his head as if to give assent. The eyes iff the pig were now bandaged, and the o[H’rator held ail ear of corn in his hand. The pig appa rently saw the corn, and approached to receive it, A large dog was now put in communication with the pig. The dog barked, and the pig grunted. The dog ran at the pig which approached him, and their noses stuck together just as the pole of two magnetic needles would do. By these ex periments ‘the community of sensation’was fuliy established. “ The operator now assumed the command over the pig, for the purpose of examining in phreno-magnetisin. Ihe organ of music was first touched, and the pig gave some most melodi ous squeaks. The next organ touched was that of penetration, when the pig commenced rooting in 'he ground. The organ of combativeness was next touched. The pig gave a look of de fiance, itnd gave a warlike grunt. The next was the organ of observation. The pig now looked very knowingly towards the sky, as if toexainine the state of the weather. The operator here got quite angry with a hoy who was interrupting the fluid, and struck him. The pig immediately be came very ferocious, and attacked the boy also. “ Surprise now took the place of anger in the operator. The pig stopped, and also appeared Unaccountably astonished. The operator took snutT, and the pig sneezed. The operator chew ed a piece of tobaceo, and the pig turned sick at the stomach. The operator now, for the first time, asked a question: “What’s the matter, pig gy!” and mirabile dirtu! the pig answered “ugh! I’m sick.’ Many other very wonderful experi ments were performed, and we became satisfied that the animal under the influence of mesmeric power might, in process of time, not only be able to describe disease in patients he had never seen, but even to practice medicine with considerable success. It is no sin to be ugly, but it is rather inconve nient. Still some men like it. Mirabeau was proud of his extreme ugliness: he valued him self as much on being the ugliest man in France as on being the best orator. He wasso ugly thai the boys used to stop him in the street anil ask him if his face didn’nt hurt him. Mlllerism. The New York Union gays, a partner of one of our most respectable Pearl street jobbing hou ses, who has for years been deemed a pattern of industry, and one of the best salesmen in the street, who by irugality and perseverance, amass ed a comfortable property, has become complete ly insane on the subject of Millerism, believes fully in the approach of the world's termination, has relinquished his interest in the concern, is perfectly reckless as to what becomes of his pro perty, carries a bible under his arm througn tue streets, and takes every opportunity of endeavor ing to convince bis acquaintances and friends that they should give up all worldly considera tions, and prepare tor their speedy exit. We.occasionally hear of a simpering, double refined young lady, boasting that she never la bored, and could not fur the life of her make a Pudding , as though ignorance of these matters was a mark of gentility and a leaning toward European nobility. There can be no greater prool of silly arrogance than such remarks, and for the es|>ecial benefit of such, we would kindly inform them that Madame de Genlis supported the family of the Due de Orleans (and among them the present reigning monarch ot France,) in London, hy the sale of her drawings; one ol the Dutchesses of the same court maintained her self and husband at Bath, by teaching a musical school, and the Queen herself, kept her lamil\ by spurned bonnets. These examplesofour own good country women would be punished and ridiculed as vulgar, and rude republican|models. Warts. These troublesome excrescences may be de stroyed by a simple and certain application. The writer discovered it while performing some chem ical experiments with soda : Dissolve as much common soda as the water will take up; then wash the warts with this for a minute or two, and allow them to dry without being wiped. This repeated two or three days, will gradually destroy the most irritable wart. The editor of an Irish paper, speaking of a shipwreck says, “ he is happy to state that the crew were all saved except four hogshead* of to bacco.” Pretty Good. A Lowell printer requests one of the Millerite preachers to “ call and settle” for the printing of some second advent hymns before he goes up. He says, “we can go before a magistrate and swear that wc believe he intends to leave the State.” Absence of Mind. The wife of a celobraled toper, intending to take up a coal of fire to light a candle, caught her husband’s red nose between the tongs, and did not perceive her mistake until she held up the candle, and tried to blow the supposed coal, when he told her he could blow his own nose. PROSPECTUS OF HFIS!! ®a3S , ®l , ©3S , 3.'®,SS , s OH, TOTAL ABSTINENCE ADVOCATE, Devoted to the Cuuscof Temperance,—published semi-monthly, in the City of Augusta, BY JAMES McCAFFERTY. The determination our citizens have evinced, to drive the Dcstioy er Irom the land,has awakened the must intemperate 10 a sense of out}. This should he hailed as an omen aud harbinger of good. The spirit of Reformation is awakened thioughoul the length and breadth of our country—the Temperance Cause is every where happily advancing, hearing down all op position, scattering blessings on every hand, drying up the teais of the distressed and causing the heart of the widow and the drunkard’s w ife to sii g for oy. It is a glorious cause—the cause ol humanity and virtue: our country’s highest good is involved—her prosperity, honor and safety. Oh! then, let us not prove recreant, but come boldly to the rescue, and with united heart and hand, assist in del.vering our beloved country from slavery to the worst, most cruel of enemies. To impress the necessity of such a work upon the friends of Temperance, nothing can be more appropri ate than tee c losing paragraph of a report from Sir. S S. CmpMA!t,an indefatigable Temperance agent. “Whatever other agencies may be used, the Cause must languish w itliout publications to diffuse informa tion and keep up an interest; they alone keep the sub ject blazing before the public mind. Temperance lec turcß may arouse the people from their slumbers, strengthen the weak, confirm the wavering and re claim the wanderer ; but the temperance publication comes too often with their cheering accounts of the onward progress of the t ause, w ith their interesting facts and anecdotes, and with their stirring appeals, to permit the interest w holly to subside, or the slumbers of the temperance men long to remain endistuilied. If the arrival of the temperanee paper does not excite a special interest in the breast of the father, the children hail it as they w ould the return of the long absent friend ; they "gathei around the domestic fireside— they devour its pages, and its contents are read and repeated with all the glee and enthusia-m of childhood and youth: and with the stated return of such a moni tor, the interest is kept up and the cause advances. - ’ The W»shixgtonian has, uptoihis date, attained its thirteenth No., and has now a circulation of nearly five hundred subscribers.

SANDS’S SARSAPARILLA, POR the removal and permanent cure of all disease •T arising from an impure state of th* blood, or habits of the s\ stem, namely, Scrofula, or King's Evil, B.heu aulists, Obstinate C ulanevus Eruptions, Pimples, or Pus tules on the face, Bitches, Biles, Chronic Sore Eyes, Ring H'orm or 'letter, Scald Head,Enlargement and pain oj the Bones and Joints, S uitor» Ulceis, Syphilitic Symptoms, Sciatica, or Lumbago, and diseases acting from an injudicious use of Mercury, Jtscietts, or Dropsy ,. exposure or imprudence in life, ailso, Chionic, Consti tutional Dr soi ders srill be removed by this prepur ation. Its timely administration has been attended with the happiest results in many anomalous ; but it is chiefly intended to till the \oid w hich exists between cathartic and aperient medicines, hence its modus iper andi is that of an alterative directly indirectly, piotv ing a lasting tonic to the system. Diseases ol the osse ous and glandular sj stem, also of the joints anu liga ments, are safely ano certainly cured by its use, as the peculiarity of it's operation consists in removing the germ or cause of disease, and the health of the patient is speedily restored. Sarsaparilla has enjoy ed a high reputation in the treatment and cure oldiseases foi many years, but the value of no other article in the matcira Medica, that at one time held so high a rank, has at Olliers been flaced so low : the cause of which is chiefly owing to the great variation in the manner of its preparation, and w ant of cai ein selecting the proper article. A d.stin gtiished medical writer who resided many years in the section of country w hich produces the best quality of Sarsaparilla, trnlv observes, “ofsix or eight species of the root which 1 found grow ing in the woods, I never found but one tomanifesi to the taste any of the sensible properties ol he genuine medical Sarsapaiilla.the lett being insipicMtid nearly inert.” As the medical pre fessiou do no*act as theirown Thatmaccntists,but icl on the skill of the Apothecary for preparing an compounding ditferent lormulw, it rs a matter ol the ut most importance that there should be a coriect stand ard piepeiatiou of Sarsaparilla, on which the ‘Faculty and public generaly can rely with implicit confidence —such is the article now offered. It combines th Utile cum Dnlie, and in nunieioas instances has given speedy relief and made a perfect cure w hen the patient was apparently fast veigtng to the giave. The propri etors tia>cdetOted many years iu experimenting and testing various modes of preparation to enable them 10 concculiate in the most ettictent loim all the medicinal value of the root, and this most desirable result has been at last triumphantly accomplished by means ol an entirely new, ingenious and costly apparatus. The Sarsapatilia Is combined with other articles selected w holly from the vegetable kingdom, all of w hich are the aiost pun ertul purifiers of the blood : and these are concentrated into a fluid extract of great power. The patient therefore who uses this preparation has allcom bined that rail be used for the lemoval of his complaint. The numerous objections to ditterent foi ms in w hich Sarsaparilla has been heretofore prescribed, are w ell founded , the quantity of smgar contained in the syrup w ill in most instances nauseate and surfeit the stomach, if a sufficient dose be taken to be of any benetit—the decoction and infusion being so liable to spoil, combin ed w ith the difficulty of preparation, render them both comparatively listless and inert; hence, the superior value andefficacy ti the article now under considera tion. In addition to the other advantages of this preparation it will be found exceedingly palatable, so that even to a child it may he readily administered, aud to the most delicate person it might be given, w ithout offending or disagreeing with thestomach. As the audition of mineial poisons is frequently ob jected to, this preparation is guaranteed entirely tree liom any thing of that nature, leaving il to the judge ment of the. phy s'xiau m patient to make such addi tions, and in such quantities as the case may require. Sand’s Sadsafarilla is adapted to all the various cates where the medicinal virtues of the root are required, and in order to derive the full advantages ol the prepa tion, it is recommended to pay regard to the diet, mold ing salt food, high seasoned meats and stimulating drinks, and to keep the bow els regular. In many cases of Diseases of the Skin, en external application is also necessary in such it is recom mended to use Sands’s Remedy for SaU Kheum, which together w ith the use of theSursaparilla internally , cannot fail to cure andeiadicatcthe disease.
