looked upon it! The aged, morose and penurious from the dread of absolute want; —parents broken hearted, for their children were not dead—this could he bourne —but they were debased; chil dren, pale, listless and unhappy in the; mornings, flushed, vociferous and demo niacal in the evenings;—servants lazy, sickly, impudent, discontented, thievish. Never was a picture more marred !—ne ver had the richest colourings of fancy; and hope, become more faded and gloo my ! And yet the American population continued patient—yet they laboured to obviate the destructive evils of grog sell ing bv further legislation—legislation as; little regarded as their happiness, as little ; respected as the authority of God. It is a mistake to refer to Job as the most patient of men—the Americans have out done him. He only suffered in; body, property, and loss of children by death, but the Americans suffer in all! these respects, and in the moral death of their children also—and yet their pati ence is not exhausted. Clement. From the Penfielil Temperance Banner. TEMPERANCECOJiVENTtOW. Eatonton, Sept. 11, 1843. At a meeting of the Eatonton Total Abstince Society, held in the Courthouse on Monday evening the 11th inst. it was Resolved, That the Committee ap-l pointed by the recent Temperance Con vention at Penfield, to whom was refer red the propriety of holding another Con vention of the friends of Temperance,j i some time during the ensuing fall, he re quested to select Eatonton as being the 1 J most eligible place for holding the same —and appoint such time as they may; deem most suitable.

King diaries’ oak was an acorn once,! and the measureless Amazon was a pud- j | die. The pledge is a small matter, but; ! already its results have been mighty;; I and yet only a drop to an ocean compar ed with what they shall he hereafter. Os 92,000 inhabitants in Essex county,j I upwards of 50,000 are pledged Washing-! I tonians. In this town more than 200 I persons, who were habitual inebriates, j I worse than ciphers in the community, are! I now active, useful, sound citizens. These! a statistics furnish signs of the state of the; I cause not only here but through most of I the free states. In these states probably I irom 1 to 300,000 men, who ivere nuis- I ances to society, are now as firmly to be counted on for all worthy social ends, as any like number picked out of the entire remainder. So much then is at once ! added to the available resources of the! country. This alone were a most noble testimony to the worth of the pledge. But consider further. The pledge has banded a host in the pursuit of a moral and benevolent object. Has any one f reckoned the value of such a pursuit as a moral and religious discipline of a nation’s lb mind. It is impossible for individuals or I masses to labor long for a good end with- 1 ■ out being made better thereby.— Essex I Washingtonian. Ihe following instance speaks fa ll vorably for the temperance cause. Sev- Beral casks of brandy and gin were latelv ■ seized by the revenue officers at Halifax, I hut in consequence of the price offered I for them not being sufficient to pav the I duty, they were emptied into the com ■ mon sewers.— Boston Wash. i A Temperance Story. ■ Two young men, “with a humming ■in their heads,” retired late at night to ■ their room in a crowded inn; in which ! ■as they enter, are revealed two beds, bul ' ■ the wind extinguishing the light, they i ■ both, instead of taking as thoA- supposed a bed apiece, got back to back into one,! which begins to sink under them. Pre- ! sentlv one observes to the other: “I say, Tom, somebody’s in my bed.” “Is there!” says the other; “sothere is in mine. Let’s kick ’em out!” The next remark was: “Tom, I’ve kicked my man over board.” “Good!” says his fellow toper; “bet-! ter luck than I; my man has kicked me out—right on the floor!” Au awtnl Prospect. A writer in the Millerite paper of New 'York has made a calculation to disprove the idea of a millennium before the resur rection, and he discovers, “by figures that cannot lie,” that if the population Jof the earth goes on increasing through i that period as fast as he thinks it will if ; the earth stands so long, then, dreadful to contemplate, there will be 18,037,886 in habitants on each square yard of the i j earth’s surface; and the mode of living he expresses in the following classic lan guage. — N. Y. Observer. “Packed down like pork, reckoning every three individuals to occupy nine cubic feet, or one foot high on every ! square yard, and \ye should have the en tire surface of every continent and island covered with living inhabitants ten hun dred and seventy-Jive miles deep, and the graves of the previous generation only, I upward of Jive hundred miles deep on the •entire surface oft he land. It would also to 5,679,295 individuals to every square yard on the entire surface of the ! globe, or about three hundred and fifty ■ miles deep of living inhabitants on land ■ and ocean.” “ The Sea shall give up its Dead.” On leaving the harbor of St. Mary’s, a . short time since, the people in the boat isaw a large red chest on the water, to wards which they directed their boat’s ;course, and succeeded in obtaining the .ichest. This, on being opened, was found to . contain the corpse of a young and beauti ful female, clothed in a rich silk dress, land having three solid gold rings upon ! her fingers. And this was all that could be learned concerning her; who she had (been, or the circumstances of her death, remain to us still sealed ; it is most likely, however, that the fair young creature had lied at sea, and her body been committed I to the waters of the deep, which thus have yielded it up again. It only remains for us to add that the chest, with the body in it, just as it lay Jivvlien first opened, was consigned to the grave, with the appropriate and solemn I ■ rites of Christian burial, in St. Mary’s. Newfoundland Post. Dcatli from the Hite of a Cat. The Brockport Sentinel mentions the death of a Mrs. Johnson, with distinct and aggravated hydrophobic symptoms, oc casioned by the bite of a domestic cat. Mrs. Johnson was passing through the 1 yard of her house, having no shoes on; and 1 seeing the cat follow ing her, turned and I gave the animal a kick. The cat in stantly fastened upon her left foot, in flicting two severe bites which lascerated i the skin about the toes ; and soon after idarted upon her again and bit the right I foot over the extensor tendon. This was in May. The wounds soon healed, and no serious inconvenience was felt until late in September, when sharp darting ipains occurred in the right foot, extend ing upward to the body. These in creased' in violence, and finally, in the ! course of a week, the usual symptoms of ' hydrophobia supervened, and continued I with accelerating force until her death. lIIS CEL LAN EOU S ITE M s7~ An Athens Journal, the Tele graph of J uly 29 says: “ Never were the people of Greece reduced to such distress as at present. Even in the time of the holy struggle, their situation was not so ; deplored. Never were they then in want jof bread. Now there are many who have no other food than wild herbs.” Robert L. Brenham, one of the asso ciate editors of the New Orleans Tropic, died in that city of yellow fever on the 7th instant. Mormons.— About 150 Mormons ar rived at St. Louis on the 29th ult., from j Nauvoo, and left the next day for New ! Orleans—probably on their return to En i gland, from whence most of them came, 1 j having become disgusted with Joe Smith and his wicked delusions. No Sunday Mail in Maine.— There is no mail on Sunday east of Portsmouth, New-Hampshire. The Saco (Maine)! Democrat says: “We hear no complaint, in thfs quarter on this account.” A correspondent of the London Morn ing Chronicle speaking of the cordial re-; ception given to Queen Victoria by Louis j Phillippe, says, “the moment the King: set foot on deck, he took her Majesty in! bis arms, saluted her on each cheek, and, without waiting an instant for recovery from surprise, descended into his barge with his precious burden.” A man called on Dr. Devan on Mon.' day morning in great anxiety, says the' Journal of Commerce, bringing with him a scorpion four inches long, that came out from the hollow end of a stick oflog | wood which he was sawing, and bit one of his fingers. The finger was a good; deal swollen and the inflamation was rap idly increasing. ! Dr. Brewster, an American Dentist in Paris, having been sent for to operate on the teeth of the Imperial family in Rus sia, received costly presents, and the title of Baron, as a mark of regard for his! , ability.

Let a little mace and some • raisins or sweetmeats be sprinkled be -1 tween the slices. Then make a custard of eggs, sugar and milk, and pour it over light bread. After it has stood till the »[bread is saturated with the custard, bake •■slowly in an oven for ten or fifteen min jutes, and if it is not good eating I will [surrender my judgment. There should 'die more than enough custard to cover the I bread, and it should not be baked till the ; custard is hard. A Lover of Puddings. Nottoway, 1843. Spots upon mahogany furniture, says the Boston Mercantile, caused by cologne j water, or alcohol in any form, may be ? i immediately removed, and the place ]l turned to its original color and beauty, by .! the application of a few drops of oil.— We believe this to be a sure restorer. 1 A pail full of lye, with a piece of cop ] peras as big as a hen’s egg boiled in it, . will produce a fine nankeen color which . will not wash out. i . • j Salve for inflamed Wounds. —Lard ( which has been melted and cooled in fresh 3 | water tour or five times in succession, l and then simmered with sliced onions |land strained, make a most excellent salve r for wounds inflamed bv taking cold.
