They are rigidly temperate from penu •ious motives, even to a system, inso- nucb, that even Diogines himself would xtol the abstemiousness of their bill are. i Exercise and temperance theh, Is the c rue secret by which these men attain so 1 ild an age ;so that the term “old miser e night with some propriety be considered s almost synonymous with exercise and , emperance. If we are taught this les- i on, by this class of mert from interest to \ hemselves of a pecuniary kind, we should * levertheless profit by it—and teach it— j nd practice it from interest to ourselves ( if a more virtuous kind—the principle if doing what is right, because it is our i tuty. We should have then, but very ' eldom, any occasion for physick, for as ' ixercise dissipates a growing distemper— . emperance will starve it. . Socrates is said to have escaped the ra-i rages of the plague which pretailed in : Athens, and which has made so much 1 loise through all ages, and has been cele jrated by such eminent hands—because >f the uninterrupted temperance which je always observed. The life of Lcxcis Coritano, the Vcne ian, is a most prominent example in (howing that it may never be too late to Effect a reform of our bodily constitutions |-but of course, the sooner the reform legins, the better. j Comano, up to about the age of forty, ras of an Infirm constitution, when by ibstinatelv persevering in an exact course f temperance, he recovered a perfect tate of health, insomuch, that he passed lis hundredth year ere he died 1 But are samples wanting to convince any that emperance is truly the “philosopher’s tone” or that it is the alembic Which dis ills out the precepts of a true philosophy ? f the advocates of temperance wanted samples they might resort to the lives of he sages of ancient times; and' if the ives of these ancient sages are examined nt«, a great part of whose philosophy insisted in temperance and abstemious less, one would imagine that the life of a rhilosophcr and the life of a man were of wo different eras—for we find that most* >f these wise men lived to great ages. So much then for exercise and temper ance, and so much for “old misers.” Jam Satis. Cure for Itutts in Horses. A practical farmer in Burke county, las given us the following recipe for the expulsion of Botts: Draw a pint of blood from the horse’s ieck, which catch in a vessel placed in varm water, to pjevent coagulation; then ningle with it 3 ounces of Laudanum,! nd I pint of milk and molasses.— )rench the horse with the mixture, ’his, he says, is the best prescription hc| las ever tried.

PAINE. i Editors in the State favorable to 1 e cause of Temperance will confer a f -’or, by giving this a few insertions, and 1 ticing it editorially. ■ r How shall wC promote the Canse t Go right straight to work; take hold of it in earnest, or let it take hold of you ; gain a lodgment in your heart and occu py it. There is a universal principle in it—it goes every where, and will carry every Where, reason, truth, iiiorality, re ligion, heaven, earth, and hell, starid up, give testimony, and offer to plead this cause. See that little boy in the procession with “ All goes right when daddy’s sober,” inscribed On his banner. What a ser mon ! The love of a family, theit* earth ly existence and joys summed itp, con densed, and expressed in one line. I’hat little boy waving that banner, ha§ done more to promote the cause than all the good wishes that has ever been heaped upon it. He was in action and in ear nest. What a rebuke to all sober lookers on! Draw Hear when that reformed drunk ard takes the stand. Rude in speech, and little accustomed to set phfase, he j tells you not to expect eloquence or per suasion from him—he is a plain man. See the crowd drawing close about him and gazing so intently. Now the bosom swelling and heaving, intense feeling sit ting in their countenances, and tears dropping from all eyes, While he tells you how happy he once was with his honest calling, his wife and children, his neigh bors, his enjoyments, and his hopes of hereafter; then he began to drink, and one by one, every thing that made a man of him left him, and hell’s torments, now one at a time and then all together, came upon him, took possession of him and turned him into a fiend; then he signed the pledge—became a sober man—then went to church, and became a Christian, and is what you see him. Do you won der that people cling to him? He is in earnest—he lets his heart out. He does what HomCr did in his poem—passion bursts from the bottom of his heart, and goes to the bottom of ours. Truly Eloquent. Washingtonianism has given birth to as brilliant specimens of true eloquence, as heart could desire. Witness the fol lowing touching appeal to the young, made by an aged man, at a recent tem perance jubilee, at New-market N. 11. : “I have come,” he continued, “twelve miles to attend this meeting-—yet I do not value my time—l feel rewarded by what I see around me. My friends, I have seen more of the world than most of you. j I have trod the streets of proud old Lon don ; and the winds of the distant Indies have fanned these furrowed cheeks of mine. My keel has been upon every sbti, and my name upon many a tongue. — Heaven blessed me with one of the best wives—and my children ; oh, why should I speak of them 1 My home was once a paradise. But I bowed, like a brute, to the killing cup—*my eldest son tore him self from his degraded father, and has never returned. My young heart’s idol; my beloved and suffering wife, has gone ! broken-hearted to the grave. And my ! lovely daughter, whose image I sCem to | see in the beautiful around me —once my pride and my hope—pined away in sor i row and mourning because her father was a drunkard, and now sleeps by her moth er’s side. But I still live to tell the his tory of my shame, and the ruin of my family. I still live—and stand here be fore you to offer up my hearts fervent gra titude to my heavenly father, that I have been snatched from thebrink ofthedrunk ard’s grave. I live to be a sober man. And While I live, I shall struggle to re store my wandering brethren again to the bosom of society. This form of mine is wasting and bending under the weight of years. But, my young friends, you are just blooming into life; the places of your fathers and mothers will soon be vacant. jSee that you come up to fill them with ;pure hearts and anointed lips! Bind the blessed pledge to your hearts; and be it the Shibboleth of life’s warfare !” Johu Short killing the Goslins. Having been attacked by the old gan der, John went deliberately to work and cut off the heads of all the goslins in the flock. His father called him to account for the mischief, and asked him why he had done it. ‘Because,’ said the lad, ‘the old gan der bit me.’ ‘Well what of that? these were not ganders.’ ‘I know that/ said John, “but they would be if we let them grow.” So it is with the use of intoxicating be verages ; the desire for the milder drinks, as cider, beer, &c., is like John’s gos lins, harmless, perhaps, while young, but it soon becomes a gander and will bite. The only way is to cut off the heads of all these goslins, and there will be no ganders. How to Ruin a Son. Let him have his way—allow him free use of money—suffer him to rove where he pleases on the Sabbath day—give him free access to wicked companions—call j him to no account for his evenings—fur nish him with no stated employment,| ! Pursue one of these ways, hnd you will J experience a iriost marvelous deliver ance, if you have nbt to rriourn over a ‘debased and ruihfed child. Thousands j | have realised the sad result, and hate gone mourning to their grates; Os all the hdteful, hated, detestable, and detested creatures who walk this earth, keep us from one of these eves dropping, tattling, go-be ; 1 tweens, who are ever gathering what 1 they cail at one place, and eagetlt retail ing it with multitudinous additions, en-j( largemdnts, and amendments at another.! From one to another, always professing to be the fast arid firm friend of both, they constantly go, with insinuations, hints arid surmises calculated to alienate friends, embitter eneiriies, and spread < ; contention through a whole community. The poison of asps is in tftith under their tongtles—their Words carry Venom like 1 that of the spittle of toads < , and misery are in their ways Os peace . they neither know, seek or love.—High- 1 land Messenger. ( Washington and his Mother. Young George was about to go to Sea ,as a midshipman; every thing was ar | ranged, the vessel lay opposite his father’s t house, the little boat had come on shore to take him oftj and his whole Heart Was . bent ongoing. After his trunk had been j carried down to the boat, he went to bid ( his Iriother farewell, and saw the tears i , bursting from her eves. However, he % said nothing to her ; but he saw that his j mother Would bo distressed if he went. and perhaps never be happy again. He i just turned round to the servant and said, Go and tell them to fetch my trunk ’ back. I will not go away to break mv mother’s heart.” His mother WiiS Struck with his decision, and she said to him, “ George, God has promised to bless the I childfdn that honor their parents, and I believe he will bless you.” Anecdote of Gen. Lee. a When the General was a prisoner at :, Albany, he dined with an Irishman. Be - fore entering upon the wine the General remarked to his host, that riftef drinking, . he was Very apt to abuse liishtricn—for which he hoped his host would excuse e him in advance. “By rriy honor, Gen t eral, I will do that,” said his host, “if you t will excuse a trifling fault which I have e myself. It is this—Whenever I hear a . man abusing ould Ireland, I have a sad . fault of cracking his sconce with my s shellaleigh.” The General was civil dut f ing the whole evening. I, ArVicctiNG.—A gentleman passing by t the jdil of a country town, heafd one of :1 the prisoriCrs, through the grates of his i cell, singing in the softest arid riiost melo a dious tone, that favorite sorig, “Home, . sweet Home.” His sympathies were very s much excited in favor of the unfortunate ; tenant of the dungeon, and upon enquir -3 ing the cause of his incarceration, was f informed that he was put in jail for beat ) ing his wife.
