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.
