The World as It is. The world is not to had a world A* some would Hke to make it; Though whether good, or whether bad, Depends on how we take It. For if we scold and fret all day, From di-wy mora till even, IjjtfitJt world will never affbid to man A foretaste here of heaven. This world in truth’s as good a world As o’er was known to any Who have not seen another yet, And these are very many ; And if the men and women too Have plenty of employment, Those surely must be hard to please Who cannot find enjoyment. This world is quite a clever world, In rain or pleasant weather, If people would but learn to live Iu harmony together; Nor seek to burst the kindly bond By leva and peace cemented, And learn that best of lessons yet, To always be contented. Then were the world a pleasant world, And pleasant talks were in it, The day would pass most pleasantly To those who thus begin it; And all the nameless grievances Brought on by borrowed troubles, Would prove,as certainly they art, A mass of empty bubbles ! Still more Clorious News t From Old Edgefield, from a highly re spectable source, we have received the following, enough to raise the spirit of a Weems, to participate in the light of Temperance, in that District, once seen through hisgiasa so darkly.— Temp. Adv. “Edgefield C. H., Sept. 2,1843. “My Dear Sir, —On a recent visit to tiie Mountains ofGeorgia, and this State, I was delighted to find that the Temper ance cause 4iad made great progress in that region. There was a time when the hardy mountaineer took his grog, and he, like all others, had a reason to give for his indulgence. With his blessings of pure water, and pure air, and exemption, to a great extent, from the diseases of our lati tude, he could not be content; but, de scending from his great eminence, plough ed into the sink of Alcohol, to share in its miseries and pollutions. But my present purpose is to give you a brief account of the progress of Temperance at this place. On the 9th of July,‘lß42, a Society was organized here, on the Total Abstinence principle, called the Mechanics' Wash ingtonian Society of Edgefield District. Forty subscribed the pledge. On the 4th of July last, it celebrated its first Anni versary with one hundred and twenty-one male members, tmd fifty female, making u total of ono hundred and seventy-one. The present officers are Dr. H. Buht, President; N. L. Giuffin and John Lyon, Esqrs., Vice-Presidents, and E. PtjiNN, Esq., Secretary. There have been hut three backsliders, and one of these drank himself to death in three or four days. This poor man blessed the cause with his last breath, and begged the So ciety to look with charity on his violation of the sacred pledge. “I am no stranger in this community, and I speak of the things that I know.— The reformation is most wonderful. No spot, I am satisfied, in our wide land, can boast a more sober, orderly and industri ous body of Mechanics, than is to be (bund at this moment in the village of Edgefield. You, my dear sir, whose heart always beats with joy at the news of a soul redeemed from perdition, can appre ciate the emotions with which I looked upon certain individuals in this place, who have been plucked like brands from the burning, and who are now rejoicing in ihe ways of truth and soberness. Indeed, there are hard, very hard cases here.— There are many instances of men who have been drunk for 20 and 30 years— who for that long period, may be said not to have drawn a sober breath. They have cast away every thing which can intoxicate, have put on the full dignity of man, and are now to be found in the pursuits of honest, quiet industry. Veri ly, is not this a moral resurrection ? The gentlemen who have, been prominent in this matter deserve great credit. The officers of the Society are laboring with untiring zeal, and the President is em phatically the Temperance Orator of the District, it must bemientioned, that the Mechanics have taken the work up, and are determined to be out-done by no one. i n concluding this hasty note, I must de clare, that in this village are presented the beautiful fruits of the Temperance move ment, and that there is every reason to believe the work is widening. Very truly, yours.” From the S-O. Temperance Advocate. Columbia, Aug. 12th, 1843. Mr. Editor;- —Having just concluded u temperance tour through Laurens, and a part of Abbeville, Newberry and Edge field Districts, it may not be* improper to notice some of the evidences of the on ward march of the work in those places; the musters, road workings, showers, fod der saving and some chill and fevers— all put together, were not sufficient to keep the people from attending the meet- lings: long speeches, warm weather, empty stomachs, and long rides home after adjournment—all were endured without murmuring, and there was a manifestation of renewed energy and zeal in the old friends, and a numerous accession of new ones, from amongst the prejudiced and hostile of all classes: and last but not least—there is a diminution in the number of Liquor shops—some times but one remaining in a whole Dis trict, solitary and alone, and that one so poorly patronized as to be compelled to , raise the price of the critter, from seven pence to ten pence, the half pint; so you see the cause goes bravely on. After an interval of a couple of weeks, 1 expect to undertake my last tour in some of the middle and lower Districts, and by the last of November, settle down permanently in Columbia, at my occupa tion. Yours, &c. J. F. Caeey. The Eugiue Stopped. I saw an enormous engine, of tremen dous power, with wheels innumerable, great and small, rolling rapidly. It was not put in operation by steam, but at ‘ every wheel was a man, turning with his strength. Some turn with the hand, = some with the foot, and some with the eye, for some wheels turned by looking -at them. Though the whole worked to e gether, one might stop while the rest ) moved on, but with retarded motion. I f looked at the top of the engine, and from i it a stream of fire shot forth firebrands, . like blazing meteors, lit* upon the houses, setting them on fire, throwing the people )in dreadful consternation within. The , arrows sped their way to the hearts of . women and children; and death dashed jin at the windows. The distress; and . the cry was, Stop the Engine; pul out , the fire. Fire! Fire!! Fire!!! The , Engine ! The Engine ! ! The man at . the wheels said, “True, the evil is great, i fi'it I make money by turning. It is very . profitable business, and if we don’t turn , some body else will.” One said, “lean . not stop the Engine, I can only stop the s wheel.” But ho was told, if he would stop, some body else would stop. At ’ length the secret was discovered for stop ping the engine,—Handle not, hands off! ; One let go, and another, the engine groaned, and the wheels grated. Those who remained at the wheels, tugged and sweated, to keep it in motion, and cursed those who had left. Loud cries were raised to stop the Engine. One said he was willing the engine should stop, but • kept his hand on the wheel and tugged. At length they all gave over. The en , gine stopped, and peace and quiet were restored. Let every man now pushing on the en gine of intemperance let go his hold and it would stop, and the thirty thousand victims about to bo crushed, would all be saved.—TTcst. Temp. Intelligencer. What we Do. It is very gratifying to the philanthro pist to witness the interesting scenes which are of nightly occurrance at our ' temperance meetings. The old man , broken down by age and rum, totters up to the Pledge, and in a few weeks after wards, appears vigorous and entirely changed / The mother, in rags, staggers , to the desk, bearing in her arms an in- i nocent babe, feeble and sickly from the l want of food and from neglect—signs the ' Pledge—and shortly after, appears com- J 1 Portable and happy! The rich, the poor, ( the professional and the working man—‘i reduced to poverty and disgrace by their relentless enemy Rtr»—sign the Pledge, and from that moment their course is up- * ward! Is not this a noble work ? What thinking, honest man, after looking at the subject as it really is, can withhold his J name and influence from a cause so ben evolent, so ennobling, so God-like ? c __ [Organ, i A Commercial Fact. A gentleman who has long been en gaged in the glass ware and crockery i business in Portland, states that formerly, ■ he uniformly had six pairs of decanters i put up in every crate of ware which he ■ brought into the city ; but at the present ! time he does not sell more than one pair sto a hundred crates. Some years since, 1 people began to bring into him their de . canters to exchange for other articles— ■ they accumulated on his hands so that he } was obliged to decline exchanging. He - wrote to a manufacturer of glass ware in ) Massachusetts, stating that he had a quantity of rich cut glass decanters on hand which he wished to exchange, and stated that if the change could be effect ed, he would take the most unsaleable articles of glass ware he had. The man ufacturer returned for an answer, that the most unsaleable article he had on hand was —rich cut glass decanters ! f Wash. Jour. i •' - •” ' We have see it stated that of all those ; who have been engaged in making and • vending intoxicating drinks in the State • of New York, for forty-nine years, nine > tenths have become insolvent, and that ■ two-thirds of them were intemperate. ■,! 03“ Will our friends aid us in procuring Statistics of the several Temperance 6iSocieties in Georgia; thereby enabling us to extend the table published below, 3 that we may in time exhibit the entire strength of the Temperance cause in our i State ?
