££?“ Editors in the State favorable to
I the cause of Temperance will confer a
I favor, by giving this a few insertions, and
| noticing it editorially.
To Our Enemies.
Ye tell us we are weak, unable to cope
t with so formidable an enemy. How
f strange! Have ye not heard the groans
| and cries of the victims of intemperance,
as they have ascended on the wing 3 of
every wind, to the throne of the eternal.
I avenging God ? Have ye not heard the
[ prayers of the widows and orphans of
[ those who sleep in unhonored graves?
Have ye not heard the curses of the poor
j drunkard, awake perhaps for a moment
to his awful situation? And think ye a
God of justice and humanity is not on the
side of those who are laboring to drive
the cursed trade ye support away from
our homes and firesides! Yes! God is
on our side —and are we weak? Have
ye not heard the shout of redeemed thou
sands?—does not the voice of their glad
songs come with tremendous force to
your ears? From every hill and valley,
from every town and village, from the
palace and the cottage, the sound rings
out! Are we weak? Tremble!—the
time is fast hastening on when ye will
hide your heads in shame, or join that
glorious shout—the hour is coming when
[ America shall be doubly free!—when
i battle is swallowed up in victory—when
f every bold American heart shall beat
' with love to our cause!—then—
“ Hurrah for the prairie and mountain,
Hurrah for the wilderness grand;
The forest, the desert, the fountain—
Hurrah for our glorious land !”
Keep out of Drinking Company.
A man came into our office last Friday,
looking as if he had been one of them
hard 'uns. Said he—‘-Colonel, I feel
wretched, and don’t know what to do.
I have broken the Pledge, and have nos
one penny in my pocket to get home
with. Oh, would that I had not come to
New York!” It appeared that this in
dividual had signed the Pledge sixteen
months since, at Rye, Westchester coun
ty, at which place we delivered an ad
dress—by this he knew us. He made a
fair living by his trade since he had quit
drinking, so that all around him were
comfortable; but business becoming dull,
and his employer not wishing his servi
ces any longer, informed him to that ef
fect, and gave him a certificate of good
character as a sober, industrious man.
He told his wife that he would go down
to New York, and perhaps get a good sit
uation. He left her and his three child
ren about ten days since, came to the
city, and met old associates who induced 1
him to drink. He, feeling discouraged '
at not obtaining employment, gave free
rein to his appetite, by which he lost '
every cent he had, and * when sober, he !
came to us for assistance, saving that he
i had not eaten any food for "twenty four '
hours. We took him down to Sandy
Welsh’s, gave him a good supper, and f
paid his passage home to his family, i
Before starting, he signed the Pledge <
again, saying that he never, never would
touch another drop as long as God lets ;
him live! ,
How long will it be before Washing- i
tonians will learn to keep out of grog- i
shops and drinking company? We say <
again and again, don’t go where the <
tempter dwells! Think of the feelings <
of that wife who was anxiously waiting i
to hear of the success of her husband,
which would afford happiness to herself
and children, to see him come home with
, out a penny, and having violated that sa
' cred Pledge which had been the means
of producing so much joy! Well may
’ she, with her children, and all of us, say,
‘ would that there was not a drop of rum
in our land!
Washingtonians, let us do our duty,
‘ faithfully and fearlessly—let each one
lo something to advance a cause which
' has and is doing so much good in our
'and—persecution may come upon you
: but the cause is just and must prevail.

Advice to Sundry People.
. When your passions are rising, never
I confine or repress them. How many
• boilers have been burst by too close an
imprisonment of their contents.
Always proclaim the faults of others.
, There should be no secrets in a republi
, can government.
Never give up your opinion though
you know you are wrong; it shows you
nave no independence.
Whenever you attack your neighbor’s
1 character, do it behind his back; so as
, not to wound his feelings,
i Make it a rule to keep company with
rogues and rascals, and then if you should
i be prosecuted for an offence you havt
, commited, and your comrades should be
| called as witnesses against you, nobody
i will believe them and so you will get clear.
Never forgive an injury. The exer
cise of pardoning power belonges to the
Governor and Council.
When you have done an act of charity
publish it toothers, so that they may do
so too. Besides, every man can preach
> best from his own notes.
i Never pay your debts—it is unconsti
tutional; lor payment impairs the obli
gation of a contract and even the Legis
lature has no right to do that.
Temperance is a great virtue ; there
* fore always be moderate in the use of ar
’ dent spirits. Six glasses of sling before
’> breakfast is as good as a thousand.
If a secret has been committed to you
to keep, take a special care to keep it
. safely ; and it may be well for caution’s
■ sake to get one or two to help you.
And as women is called the “weaker
! vessel,” she should have Haifa dozen to
■ help her.
Never sweep your parlor—it makes a
i confounded dust.
Never brush down a cobweb; it is a
; part of a spider’s dwelling house, and his
i castle, and therefore is sacred.
■ • MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
I Beat This. —Mr. Edward F. Dean
> informs us, that he raised last year, with
, five hands, 83 bales of Cotton, the bales
weighing from 350 to 400 lbs. nett,
i The Cotton was of the common white
■ seed, and growed on the waters of Reedy
I Branch, in Abbeville District, S. C. He
also made 320 bushels of corn with the
i same force on 16 acres of land,
i This is pretty good farming, and de
i serves a passing notice Hamburg
Journal.
Cotton Crop last year. —The total
Cotton Crop of the United States for the
last year ending first instant, amounts to
2,379 460 bales; Crop of last year, 1,.
683,574 bales. Increase 695,886 bales.
Isthmus of Dari ex.— The Ship
Canal, so long in agitation, is not only
under contract, but actually progressing.
The Messrs. Baring, of London, are to
« complete it in five years. Four hundred
men are now at work upon it. This
great enterprise will very much enhance
ihe maritime interests. The toll is lo be
8 francs a ton. The Government ofNew
Grenada ceded to the Barings the whole
line of the work, with 80,000 acres of
land.
New process of Counterfeiting. —The
Cincinnati Sun says, “We have heard it
asserted that a process of counterfeiting
bills has been discovered in this city by
the daguerreotype, which will become a
subject for legislation, or the whole coun
try will be flooded with notes that can
not be detected, so perfectly are they
drawn from the originals.”
The Episcopal Church in Pennsylva
nia.—Connected with the Episcopal
community in this state, there are one
hundred and fifteen churches, nine thou
sand six hundred and one communicants,
one hundred and eleven clergymen.—
The increase of the last year was one
thousand two hundred and thirty-five. 1
Return of Departed Spirits. —The
Shakers have published a curious book
which maintains that the immortal spirits 1
of certain great and good men, and of 1
some not quite so good, who had lived]
and died, have recently come back to this
wicked world and taken lodgings in the
mortal corporosities of certain shakers, *
in which they exhibit the peculiar char- 1
acteristics for which they were distin- I
guished in their former lives. The book <
contends that Washington, Penn, Alex
ander, Mahomet, Bonaparte and others,
, I have returned and taken up their abode J
' in earthly tabernacles, and others are
■ soon expected.
“The education of our children,” said 1
'John Adams to his wife, “is never out
of my mind. Train them to virtue.— ]
’ Habituate them to industry, activity and I
1 spirit. Make them consider every vice
as shameful and unmanly. Fire them
| with ambition to be useful. Make them ]
? disdain to be destitute of any useful or or- I
1 namental knowledge.”
r °
Substance and Shadow. —A fellow <
went to the parish priest, and told him:
that the night before he saw a ghost.
"In what shape did it appear ]” inquired
the priest. “li appeared in the shape
r of a great ass.” “Go home, and hold
1 your tongue about it,” rejoined the pas- (
1 tor, “you have been frightened at your
own shadow.”
(
Extraordinary Hydrophobia.-A young
girl died lately at Saint Die, in the Vos- 1
, ges, in all the horrors of the hydrophobia ,
j which she is said to have caught in the
following extraordinary manner: Shi 1
g had washed a plate whicli a dog, that was
j afterwards killed as being mad, had soil
ed with saliva from its mouth, and the
j virus entered some chaps which the girl
I had in her hands.
1 DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT.
Scarlet Fever.—We see it stated in
an old number of the Louisville Gazette,
' that “the happiest effects have resulted
from washing the patient in weak ley,
which feels slippery to the fingers. It is
best to begin in time, when the fever or
1 redness first appears, and with a cloth or
spunge, apply it all over the patient, every
' l ew hours; but if the fever has got up, it
should be repeated every five minutes
till the heat abates.” The Gazette gives
an instance in which a child under this
treatment was getting better, but was ob
' served by his nurse during the night, to
" have become very hot again ; “she wash
ed him all over, and in a few minutes
j every trace of the fever left him. He
1 felt cool, slept comfortably until morn
s ing, and had no return of the fever.—
Even bathing the feet in the weak ley
1 has a very soothing effect.” —Southern
J Monitor.
1 Johnny Cake.—Take 2 cups of milk,
1 teaspoonful of butter, 1 do. of molas
-1 ses; stir it thick with Indian meal, or
5 one-fourth flour and the rest Indian meal.
Bake one hour.
For a sore throat.—Take a glass
j of olive or sweet oil, and half a glass
of spirits of turpentine; mix them well to
. getlier, and rub the throat externally—
wearing flannel round it at the same
‘ time. It proves most effectual, when ap
j plied early, in curing a sore throat.
A
' Fora cold and hoarseness. —Boil a
middle sized turnip, lay it on a common
saucer, and pour on it three table-spoons- :
’ ful of common molasses, the juice of the
turnip is extracted, and forms a syrup
which will be found very efficacious in
I removing the hoarseness and sore throat
3 or a common cold.
Salve for inflamed wounds.—La d
■ which has been melted and looled in
, fresh water four or five times in success
- ion, and then simmered with sliced i
, onions, and strained makes a most excel- 1
, lent salve for wounds inflamed by taking 1
| cold. j
*, . 1
l'o Housewives.—ls some common
! salt be put into the water, when washing *
. cabbages or greens, preparatory to cook- )
i mg them, the snails, slugs, worms, &e., (
will come out and sink to the bottom, so
that they need not be boiled with the veg- ‘
etables. It is impossible to wash them |
out, except the cabbages to be taken to ;
pieces, and people generally like to have (
the vegetable served up whole.— Selec- <
