your steam-boats, rail-roads, or any thing
else your boasted wisdom may have con
structed. We will not allow ourselves
neglected—we can talk if we cant vote.
And there is that “ Circular” you sent
out in your last number, commencing,
“Sir.” Who wrote that Circular?—
Was it the single gentleman of the com
mittee—if so, we. can excuse him. It it
was written by one of you married edi
tors, did you not know that the effect ot
that paper would depend upon what we
said about it. If I should say to my hus
band, brother or son, the Augusta
Washingtonian is not worth having, do
you think it would be permitted an en
.trance into our family? On the other
hand, if I should say that the Augusta
Washingtonian is one of the cheapest
papers in the state —that it contains
more reading matter, for its size, and
has more editors, than any other paper
in the Union—that it ought to be encour
aged, on account of the publisher, who
is a deserving young man, &c. —Don’t
you think it would succeed ? L nques
tionably! And talking is not all: if
husband, or some of the family, don’t
bring the paper home that very day, a
servant is sent after it—we get it, and
that’s what we want.
There is my daughter, Mary Jane—
she has beauxs —and as I talk she will
talk—she hears me speak of the Wash
ingtonian, and she will converse about it
too. We mothers teach our daughters
how to rule before they marry. If then
she should only hint, that it was her
opinion that every steady, moral young
man should take the Washingtonian—
why, the next time he called afterwards,
the very first question would be, Have
von seen the last Washingtonian ? To
which she would reply in the negative,
in order to bring him out. Then Madam,
please accept of my last number !
Well, now, to speak our minds freely,
we must say to you, that nothing good or
great has been, or can be, accomplished,
without our aid and advice; we must have
a finger in the 'pi' —and this we thought
you knew before—but we have been dis
appointed and mortified at the display of
your impudence and vanity in attempt
ing this matter alone. We know that
you will soon get into trouble by your
sdves—and then such squalling for
help ns will he heard, would astonish any
but a married woman. We have there
fore-concluded to come to your rescue at
once,;with warm and devoted hearts—de
termined (hat the Washingtonian shall
prosper, and that the publisher shall be
rewarded for his zeal and enthusiasm in
the cause of Temperance.
Hut before I conclude, gentlemen, 1 1
must say to you, that if we de take this
little print into our keeping and charge,
a committee will be appointed to look
in upon Mr. M. occasionally—if on any
of those visits, our presence should cre
ate confusion and consternation among
the “ devils,” say to Mr. M. not to be
alarmed—they will soon become as quiet
and gentle as lambs, and the concern be
nefitted from the shock.
Amelia.
[From the S. C. Tempcran'ce Advocate.]
A WORD TO TUE REFORMED.
Yours is an interesting case. In a
certain sense old things have passed
away—all things have become new.”
A great change has taken place, and that •
it is for the better no one can doubt.
Even though you should be so unfortu
nate as to relapse into your former state,
yet the cause of humanity has been in a j
measure aided. One year, one month,
one week of sobriety, in one who had
been a slave to strong drink, is produc
tive of some good, though the poor man
should be so unfortunate as to fall again
into his own habit. Such a season at
least affords room for reason to show it
self; for man to remember that there is
something within him superior to “ flesh
and blood’ —that he was created for a
high and noble destiny. What if this
lamp again become darkened! What if
the murky clouds of seqsualitv again
obscure the b. ight beam ! Shalf wc say, I
the sun’s ray was of no use, since in aj
short time his splendor became hidden in
clouds? Besides every tear that has
been dried in the eye of a child, every
throb of anguish that has been calmed!
in the bosom of a wife, every beam of
hope that has shone into the heart of a.
mother, and every feeling of pleasure that 1
has warmed the breast of a friend, caus-i
ed bv the father, the husband, the son, <
neighbour’s forsaking his cup (though it ;
be but for a season,) takes away so much
from the “pile of misery” and places it
upon that of human happiness.
But why go back ? The work of re
formation, which you have already com
menced, wc hope you will carry forward
to the firm establishment of the principles
you have embraced* There is however
danger: and the humble writer would
say, Beware! A few considerations
may serve to encourage you in your
course, and strengthen the new habit you
are forming*
Ist. Keep in mind that there is dan
ger of falling back. An old habit is
stubborn; and an appetite for strong
drink particularly hard to conquer. A
knowledge of danger is sometimes half
the battle.
2nd. Keep out of the way of tempta
tion. There is an old proverb which
says : “ Prudence is the better part of
valor.” Dont go about a Grog-shcp, for
its very smell will cause the old appetite
to revive. Never forget this.
3d. Be employed. “Constant occu
pation prevents temptation.” Loafers
are generally the first to backslide.
4th. Remember your former con
dition. This will call to mind the many
injuries you have received from the old
King, and make you keep clear of his
iron clutches in future.
sth. Think of your present prospects
—how much brighter—new hopes, new
desires, new incentives to action. You
mhy yet be a man, a respected man, an
honoured man.
6th. Compare the present and former
condition of your family. Once they
were in want and distress ; once, on your
account, pangs of grief tore their bos
oms—now hope and plenty, heightened
by the contrast, have brought happiness
into your midst. O crush not these bud
ding joys.
7th. For the sake of your country—
don’t go back—she needs your service.
Times looks portentous—sober men a
lone are fit to guard her welfare.
Bth. The cause of sacred truth calls
upon you to remain firm. Religion has
suffered immensely from intemperance,
and ns the latter gives way the former
advances. Hinder not the progress of
the Holy causes, by forsaking the cause
of Temperance.
9th. Be engaged in reclaiming others.
“He that watereth, shall himself be
watered.”
10th. Above all forget not to invoke
. the blessing of Heaven upon your en
deavours to remain faithful.
Plain Truth.
Ladies! Lend ns vouu Influence.
—We know a lady, in this place, who
has obtained among the notoriously in
temperate ot hor own scn, four signa
tures to the Pledge. Start not, at noto
riously intemperate of her own sex!—
This is substantially the fact, that is, if
the fact of its being seen and known by
the whole neighborhood can prove it so,
j and the confession of the inebriate fe
males themselves, v/hen they 'consented
! at length to take the Pledge'; and, afiter
i ward, when they thanked and blessed
their benefactress, who had induced them
to do so. And how think you she in
duced them? What her most forcible
argument? “I myself have taken the
Pledge—my own name is down, come
now, give me yours.” The husband of
one of these females, one of our hardest
case converts, with tears in his eyes,
prayed the blessings of Heaven on the
Lady, who had been the means of giving
him a help-meet, instead of a draw-back
in his wife. He had feared his wife’s op
| position ; now delivered from that fear,
he felt the chance for his holding out in
j the good way of sobriety, to be greatly
| ensured. The event has proven it.
That man’s home, which 'was a hell
upon earth, is now comparatively a Par
adise, and he who was a bye-word and a
jest, is now a respectable, and decent
j church-going member of society. Were j
it important, the names might all be giv
en.—S. C. Temp. Advocate.
War. —The following beautiful extract j
is from the pen of Dr. Chalmers, who has
written with such force and energy in
defence of the Christian Religion. It;
presents in so strong a light the ferocious
aspect of war, when undisguised by the j
false splendors which surround it, that j
nothing ought to be read with greater I
delight, hy a people whose duty, interest j
and desire it is to encourage and adopt a
pacific policy towards other nations.
“ One great object to the extinction of
war, is the way in which the heart of man j
is carried off from its barbarities and its i
horrors by the splendor of its deceitful!
accomplishments. There is a feeling of
the sublime in contemplating the shock
of armies, just as there is in contempla
ting the devouring energy of a tempest; i
and this so elevates and engrosses the i
whole man, that his eye is blind to the I
tears of bereaved parents, and his ear is I
deaf to the piteous moan of the dying,:
and the shriek of their desolated families, i
i
There is a gracefulness in the picture of;
a youthful warrior, burning for distinc- (
tion in the held, and lured by this gcncr- ,
ous aspiration to the deepest animated
throng, where, in the fell work of death, 1
the opposing sons of valor struggle for '
remembrance of a home; and this side i
of the picture is so much the exclusive ,
object of our regard as to disguise from j
the view the mangled carcases of the fal-
len,and the writhing agonies of the hun
dreds, and the hundreds more, who have
been laid on the cold ground, where they 1
are left to languish and to die. There is j
no eye to pity them !—no sister to weep .
over them ! There no gentle hand is j
present to ease the dying posture or bind |
up the wounds which in the maddening i ;
fury of the combat have been given and
received by the children of one common
Father! There death spreads his pale
ensigns over every countenance; and
when night comes on, and darkness is
: around them, how many a despairing i
wretch must take up with the bloody
field as the untented bed of his last suffer
• ings, without one friend to bear the mes-1
sage of tenderness to his distant home—j
• without one companion to close his eyes!
I avow it—on every side of me I see
l causes at work which go to spread a most
i delusive coloring over war, and to re
move its shocking barbarities to the back
> | ground of our contemplations altogether,
i I see it in the history which tells mo of
i the superb appearance of the brilliancy
iof their successive charges—l see it in
the poetry which lends the magic of its
numbers to the narrative of blood, and
transporting its many admirers, as by its
■' images, and its figures and its nodding
] plumes of chivalry, it throws its treacher
!: ous embellishments over a scene of legal
; | ized slaughter. I see it in the music !
* which represents the progress of the bat
tle, and where, after being inspired by
• j the trumpet notes of preparation, the
, j whole beauty and tenderness of a draw
■ ing-room are seen to bend over the senti
i mental entertainment; nor do I hear the
i utterunce of a single sigh to interrupt the
s | dead tones of the sickening contest, and
, the moans of the wounded men, as they
• j fade away upon the ear and sink into life
f less silence ! all, all goes to prove what
: ! strange and half-sighted creatures we
; are. Were it not so, war would never
. have been seen in any other aspect than
: that of unmingled hatefulncss; and I can
look to nothing but the progress of Chris
: tian sentiment upon earth to arrest the
■ strong current of its popular and prevail
ing partiality for war. Then only will
lan imperious sense of duty lay the check
of severe principle on all the subordinate
tastes and faculties of our nature. Then
) will glory be reduced to its right estimate
—and (he wakeful benevolence of the
Gospel, chasing away every spell, will be
turned by the treachery of no delusion
P whatever from its simple but sublime en
‘ terprises, for the good of the species.—
Then the reign of truth and quietness will
’ be ushered into the world; and war, cru
j el, attrocious, unrelenting war, will be
stript of its many and its bewildering fas
j cinations.”
DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT.
Coffee.—-This is so favorate a bever
’ age that every mode of improving its
f; good qualities will interest the many who
t, like its flavor. An Ohio paper recom
»; mends the following receipe as excellent
: ! both on the score of taste and economy :
! Take one pound of coffee and one
j pound of dried apples, cut the apples into
, small pieces, and brown the coffee and
i apples together, and take an equal quan
tity of both and make coffee and drink it
as usual, and you will find it equal to the
real imported coffee, and one pound will
go as far as two of the other.
Ginger Pudding. —Take six eggs,
four cups of sugar, two cups of butter,
one of milk, two spoonfuls of Allspice,
two of Ginger, one spoonful of salaratus
; and six cups of flour. Put them togeth
er according to directions, all thoroughly
mixed, and you will have an excellent
pudding. It is as good warmed over the
| second or third day, as when fresh. We :
i give this upon the authority of Mrs. Dr. ,
• Saunders, who understands making all
i u ©
| savoury things.— Agriculturist.
To Preserve Eggs. —The following
; recipe, having been tested by experience,
j has been furnished us for publication :
“ Two quarts of unslackcd lime, (slack \
'■ it, and let it cool,) add one-fourth pound
of salt, and two ounces of cream of tar- ‘
| tar, making the consistence as thin cream i
\ —pack your eggs on end, and have them <
i turned frequently over, to prevent the '
! yolk from settling. By doing this, you ,
j may preserve eggs months, and even a '
! year or more. Before packing, dip them
in warm hog’s lard, or butter.”
Receipe. —The following cure for the
distressing complaint called the Asthma,
was recommended to an acquaintance of
ours some years since, whose case was a
desperate one : he is now in the enjoy
ment of good health—and as wc have ac
cidently laid our hands upon the receipe
itself we would offer it to our readers for
for a trial.
One pint of Linseed Oil, boiled over a
slow fire until perfectly clear, then, after
it becomes cool, add half a pint of honey,
and a quarter of a pound of garlic.
The dose is a table spoon full morning
and evening.— Yorkvillc Compiler.
The Pii.es. — A cure for this most
painful disorder has always been consid
ered by those afflicted with it of the first
importance. The writer of this has, for
| the last five years suffered under that in
vctcrate disease, during which time he
could obtain no relief, until he accidcn-
I tally met with a person who gave him a
receipt which effected in him a complete
cure ; and he now, from motives of hu
manity, makes it known to the public,
viz.—Take a lump of strong British
alum, about two inches in length, which
: smooth down with a knife to the thick
ness of three quarters of an inch; apply
this morning and evening, first wetting
it in cold water. In five to seven days
the cure will be complete.
CtjftE for a Whooping Cough.—
Take equal parts of sweet oil, honey, and
vinegar, and simmer, together over a fire.
1 Dose, a tea spoonful, or more, if neces
sary.
