Lea re Him Not There.

1 knew ayouth’.vith a noble sou!,
AnU a step all proud and free,
But he loved too well the sparkling bowl,
And the midnight revelry.
And the lapse of years the secret told,
Tw as seen in his feeble tread,
Till, one dark night, from his steed he roll'd,
And the deep ditch was his bed.
And i heard a voice from heaven proclaim
“ That man is a brother to thee;
Leave him not there io Ins guilt and shame,
And his helpless misery!”
Then up I rose—-the place I sought,
I thundered in his car,
But he lay like a stone, and be answered nought,
How could tke'drunkard heat ?
I turned away with a spirit sad
And I slowly sought my home,
While an earnest prayer to God f made
To save him in time to come.
But still I heard the voice proclaim,
“ That man is a brother to thee:
Leave him not there in his guilt and shame
And his helpless misery!”
Then back I flew on the wings of love,
I raised the fallen youth,
And help was given me from above
To speak the words of truth.
I held him up—he heard my voice—
That night the pledge he signed;
And all his friends once more rejoice
O’er the rescued noble mind.
For l heard a voice from heaven proclaim,
“ That man is a brother to thee;
Leave him not there in his guilt and shame,
And his helpless misery I”

The following is an extract of a Tem
perance Lecture, recently delivered by
the Rev. Mr. Turnbull, one of the Bos
ton clergymen, in the Odeon.
‘‘Allow me for a moment to transport
you, in imagination, to the banks of some
lonely stream far off among the hills.
There, beneath theshude of a wide spread
ing tree, you perceive a lovely boy
asleep, in the soft security of unconscious
innocence. The air is bland, the bees
arc humming among the flowers, tiro birds
are among the branches, and all nature is
instinct with beauty and gladness. That
hoy is dreaming of his home of his moth
er perhaps, or of his little sister, with
whom he has been playing all the morn
ing in the woods. But look again;—do
you see that serpent gliding stealthily
along, with its eyo iixed upon the boy?
It draws nearer and nearer; there it
mounts upon his body—erects its crested
head—swells and quivers with rage, and
now—now, with the rapidity of lightning,
buries its fangs in his neck. Awakened
to the danger of his situation, he screams
with terror, and struggles for a moment
with his enemy, but all in vain. A
change comes over his countenance; —
his bright blue eyes grow dim ; —a con
vulsives shudder passed over his frame,
and all is still. By and by, friends come
to the place, discover the melancholy
catastrophe, carry tho child to its heart
broken parents, and afterwards follow
him with slow and mournful steps to the
grave.
What will he done to the serpent?
One cries, ‘ Kill it.’ ‘O, no,’ cries anoth
er, ‘that would be wrong!’ Ho is a
creature of God! See how beautiful his
colors, how graceful his movements!
We shall tame him—bring him under
discipline,—use him very moderately and
carefully, bring him into our houses, or
put him into the bar-room of our village,
and render him a source of infinite
amusement. ‘But look,’ cries a third,
‘there is blood, upon his jaws! he has
killed the child, and ought to be stoned
without delay.’ ‘Not quite so fast my
good friend,’ exclaimed the former speak
er—‘that was a mere accident, it was
not the fault of the serpent, but of the
child, who ought to have known better,
or of his parents, who ought to have kept
him at home. ‘ But,’ says an old sagaci
ous looking man, who till this time had
taken no part in the conversation—‘l ad
vise you all to look out for him, for he
may bite again!’ ‘ G!’ it is replied, ‘we
shall take care of that.’ ‘l’m sure lie
won’t bite me,’ says one. ‘Nor me,’
cries a third. So exclaim the majority
ju their unparalleled sagacity. Tho ser
pent is therefore introduced to the family
circle, and with some few precautions, is
= permitted to gambol with the children.
“Whyis it,that in this city, the most
polished, the most intelligent, and perhaps
the most religious in the land, a more
malignant serpent is not only suffered to
roam at large, but is nursed and guarded
by municipal regulations ? Why is it that
his trail is found in every street, that his
fiery eyes look out from every tavern, and
that ho lies coiled up in a grog shop?
Why is if that he is permitted to plant his
deadly sting in the heart of our friends,
our acquaintances and our children?—
Have not we—have not our municipal au
thorities, listened to tho shrieks of his dy
ing victims, and followed him in multitudes
to the grave! Where is our benevolence
where is our wisdom, where, above all, is
“““ * l’ 1 '
our religion, if we suffer this? Can we
answer it to our consciences, or our God,
if we, longer permit the monster to roam
at large, or ever to exist?”
Cold Water.
Cold water has a multitude of virtues.—
There is scarce an end to
good to drink, good to bathe ™ good to
turn mills and factories, good to bear
steam-boats and ships with burdens of
wealth over its bosom, good to be drawn
up in clouds and descend to the earth in
rain, to water it, and thus promote vegeta
tion, good for a.great many other things,
and then it is good to be heated and ap
plied to still sundry other purposes. But
there is no purpose for which cold water
is more valuable than to cool the brain,
and so tranquilize the mind. If your child,
for instance, is wilful, or cross and angry,
the most effectual method of removing the
malady, is to bathe or plunge his head in
cold water. If you find yourself indulging
too deeply in any passion, then plunge
your head in cold water.
The reason of this is obvious. In all
cases of temper or violent passion, the
blood rushes to the brain, and excites it
to a feverish state. But the water drives
back the blood, and cools down the brain.
Thus the temper or passion is subdued.
If parents would employ cold water in
the government of their children, they
would find it generally much more effectu
al than the rod. We know of its having
been adopted with the most happy results.
It is not, like some quack medicines, an
absolute “cure all;” but it is capable of
' effecting many cures, that would appear
wonderful to persons unacquainted with
_ its virtues.
The methods of applying this cold wa
, ter are various. Sometimes it is sufficient
to bathe the head gently with the hand
‘ dipped in the water. Sometimes, in more
obstinate cases, it is necessary to plunge
! the head iu, and sometimes to plunge it,
: and replunge it in succession, till the re
ceding color from the face shows that the
rush of blood to the head has turned its
course backwards. Care and skill should
i be used in this as in all other remedies.
;We call it a remedy , because even the
worst passions of the mind, indeed all the
mental operations, of whatever nature,
depend very greatly upon the physical
condition ; or, in other words, upon the
state of the brain. —[Social Monitor.

Great Battle! Alcohol Slaint
Tike a trumpet, herald;
Ride thou unto the horsemen of yon hilt;
If they will light with us, bid thorn come down,
Or void the field; they do ofl'end our sight.
Kino Henky V.
His Royal Highness, Prince Alcohol,
having been routed from all his possess
ions and strong holds, in the land of
Shamrocks, concluded to make a transat
lantic voyage, to discover how his subjects
stood affected towards him in the United
States. He accordingly visited all the
Northern States, from some of which he
was ejected with great loss, while in oth
ers he met with better success. On his
journey south, ho passed through Augusta
and Aiken, at both of which places rebell
ion against his authority had arrived to
such an alarming pitch, that he was re
pulsed with great violence. A great
many of his followers were cut off', and he,
himself, narrowly escaped with his life.
A General is as conspicuously great in re
treat, as in advance, and such was the case
in the present instance. No words of
mine can add to, or diminish the fame of
his Alcoholic Highness. During the re
treat, one of his spies brought in word,
that there was a party of his adherents as
sembled in this vicinity, which caused him
immediately to change his route, and
make forced marches until he arrived.
(It had been his intention, according to a
letter found in his secretary after the bat
tle, to proceed to Columbia.) On the 4th
July, 1843, the two armies approached
each other, about two miles from the Vil
lage, at Carr’s Mill, where the rebels had
met to celebrate the day. Both parties
appeared eager for the contest, and while
on one side the word was, “No quarter
to the Rebels” on the other it was, “death
to the Tyrant.”
The spirit of ’7.6, appeared to be infu
sed into the souls of the heroes ofthat day.
If the rebels were nerved by the recollec
tion of the Tyranny they had suffered, the
indignities they had borne, and other in
; numerable complaints, the Royal party
were equally determined to establish their
authority. At precisely sos the clock on
i Tuesday evening, the” combatants en
gaged. The onslaught was terrible,
i The roar of the cannon, the repeated vol-
I leys of musquetry, mingled with the
groans of the wounded, and the screams of
; the dying, made a scene that surpassed all
1 description. At one time, the rebels,
! overcoming difficulties that appeared in
s surmountable, were in the ascendant—at
, another the royalists, fighting with the fu
ry of demons, carried the day before them.
■ In the immediate neighborhood of his
■ Highness, the carnage was : awful, fighting
i with a courage worthy of a better cause:
* he performed prodigies of valor—sueh as
would have thrown Du Gueselin, Gaston,
e .Du Foix, or any of those celebrated he-;
[,‘roes, in their prime, far into the shade,
a Wherever was seen his blood-stained
sword, there were death and destruction
dealt not freely. He appeared to have a
charmed life—not a sword could reach
" him, not a shot hit him. At length, the
s rebels, disheartened from the loss of num
-0 tiers, wearied and desponded, were evi
£ dently al*out to retreat. They had done
’ all that men could do, and were now dis
n puting the ground inch by inch: the sun
11 was about to set upon their cause forever
* and tyranny prevail. Just at this time,
*’ when all hope seemed gone, when the bu
■ gle was about to sound the retreat, and
:t when the Royalists were prepairing for
r the last charge—a horseman was seen ad
l» vancing at full speed, waving in his hand
I’ the last number of the “South Carolina
> Temperance Advocate.” At this sight
e the shouts that were sent forth were abso
-3 lutely deafening. It reverberated from
? hill to hill, and from valley to valley, un
e til lost in the distance. The panic it
caused in the other party was equally
‘ great, some threw down their arms, and
‘ surrendered at discretion, others, just dis
* covering what their legs were made lor,
s sought the adjourning swamps and thick
• ets with all speed imttginable. His Alco
holic Highness, himself, whom nothing
1 could terrify, and who rose superior to all
'? dangers and difficulties opposed to him,
■ called in vain for his followers. They
[ were non comatibus in swampo. Hoarse
• with rage, fory and despair, preferring a
* glorious death to disgraceful defeat, he
f charged, singly, amongst his enemies,
r where, numbers prevailing, he soon re
-1 ceived his quietus.
Thus ended a battle, which, if not equal
• in numbers, was not surpassed in braver}',
1 action, spirit, and finally in results, bv
I Marengo or Waterloo. It has not only
“ forever laid aside the supremacy of His
Royal Highness in this section ofcountry,
i but has given to the victors a name and
fame that they will carry to their graves.
1 As in all battles, each side exaggerates
; the loss of the other, I will not subjoin a
I list of the killed and wounded on this oc
casion. All will acknowlege that the
Commander-in-chief has bit the dust, and
even that is glory enough. It is said in
deed (hat his spirit still lingers in some
places—but who’s afraid of ghosts ?

Adulterations.
We are indebted to a gentleman of our
acquaintance, for the following analysis
of a bottle of spurious port wine :
Alcohol, ... 3 07.
Cider, ... 4 oz.
Sugar, - - - 1$ oz. 1
Alum, ... 2 scr.
Tartaric Acid, - -1 scr.
Concentrat. solution logwood, 4 oz.
From the same authority we have it
that a preparation of fish and sulphuric
acid, (oil of vitriol,) gives the transpa
rency, and that capsicum, (red pepper,) 1
lime and potash, are put in for various
purposes.
The above is but a moiety of what dis
tillers, brewers and dealers, have been
and are doing, to promote the pleasantry
and joy of life, the happiness and well
being of society ; this is the way they "
administer to health, destruction ; to fam
ilies distress; to wives broken hearts ;
to children, beggary, and to the soul, per
dition. ]

Death of Alexander.
When Alexander was at Babylon, af
ter having spent a whole night in carous- i
ing, a second feast was proposed to him.
He went accordingly,* and there were
twenty guests at the table. He drank '
the health of every person in the compa
ny, and then pledged them severally.—
After this, calling for Hercules’ cup,
which held an incredible quantity—it 1
was filled, when he poured it all down,
drinking to a Macedonian of the compa
ny, Proteas, by name; and afterwards
pledged him in the same extravagant
bumper. He had no sooner swallowed
it than he fell upon the floor. “Here, i
then,” cried Seneca, describing the fatal i
effects of drunkenness, “the hero, tin
conquered by all the toils of prodigious
marches, exposed to the dangers of seiges
and combats, to the most violent extremes
of heat and cold, here he lies, subdued
by his intemperance, struck to the earth
by the fatal cup of Hercules.” In this
condition he was seized with a fever,
‘ which, in a few days, terminated in death.
No one, says Plutarch Arria, then sus
, pected that Alexander was poisoned: the
true poison which brought him to his end
was wine, which has killed many thous
. ands beside Alexander.
i Said a young man to his mother, who
r visited him in the State Prison at Auburn
; —“ Had you put the Bible in my hands,
> and taught me to read it, I should never '
, have been in this place.”

Only one Grog Shop left in a whole
I District. —Mr. Editor, a gentleman in- 1
i formed me at the late temperance con
. vention at Spartanburg, that in the whole
i district of Laurens, S. C. there was but
: one solitary grog shop!” and that was
almost entirely “ aldne in its glory” at
• the Court House, and to verify his say
: ing, I saw between 60 and 100 delegates
. from that district in the Convention.—
i This speaks volumes for the cause. And
■ I know from observation, that there are
, not better farmers, nor better crops, made
in Soyth Carolina, than there is in that
i district, nor less embarrassment. The!
■ whole State is now efficiently organized
and represented by every class in society
I (except the drunkard) and there is great
hopes and bright prospects for his entire
: redemption from the fatal cause of in
temperance, and that speedily. All of
i the Judges are now tetotallers. Well
done South Carolina, and may the old
North State soon follow in her wake.

the temperance pledge. His mother had
signed years before, but his father had
not. Said the little boy, “ I shall never
