Lea re Him Not There. ■ *V ««• »-«»■ 8. E. DANA 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” f E»i£K<ftKl©E, 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. From the S. C. Temperance Advocate. 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 ?

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. ] Let the drinking man and drunkard | pause and reflect as becomes one possess, j ed of intelligence, and the consequence ( must be they will spurn from them the delusion of rum-drinking.— Organ., 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.” | [From the Southern Monitor ] 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. J. M. E.. The Temperance Boy that loved his Mother. —A little boy in G signed the temperance pledge. His mother had signed years before, but his father had not. Said the little boy, “ I shall never break the pledge till my mother does /” This, he felt, was setting his strongest seal to his promise.
