03” One most pleasing feature of the i temperance reform, is the harmonious ;o-operation it is producing among all Christians. Every where, they that love; God and their fellew-men, are becoming! nore and more united in the great and ilorious work, and as their zeal for virtue imongmen of all classes*' conditions and| lersuasions increases, their religious jea ousies and asperities decline. We most heartily rejoice that here as well as in general, education, another oasis in the desert of discord, has been found, where Ichristians can meet, labour and rejoice f together. As a proof of this, we copy :■ the following from the Constitutionalist k* Tuesday morning last: Amende Honorable. I The Paris correspondent of the Nation ■il Intelligencer gives the following inci pient as having occurred at a' large tCm fcerance meeting in the city of Norwich. ' HDngland: ■ ft is long since I have been more struck ■with an amende honorable for inconsider ■nte censure than that of the Bishop of' 1 to Father Mathew, at the recent ■mmense temperance gathering in the, 1 Pity of Norwich. The prelate delivered I very earnest address in behalf of the Ijfcause. Let me quote the rest: “And now. reverend sir, and friend : from another island, allow me to greet |ou —(addressing Father Mathew, who| ! ®ose amidst enthusiastic appause.) 1 tneet you not here as a Roman Catholic; liriest. I differ from your creed, and 1 andidly and openly avow in your pre- 1 ence, and before this great assembly, hat lam hostile to it. But, reverend sir. meet you here in a more noble and com irehensive character—l meet you herej lot asapriest, but as a Christian brother. The right reverend prelate here crossed »efore the chairman, and extended his land to Fathew Mathew, which was cor lially grasped and shaken by the latter.! unidst the most deafening cheers.] 1 neetvou, I repeat it, as a Christian broth ;*r, upon neutral ground, where all de nomination of Christians, may delight to visit and unite together in a common and holy cause, [Hear, hear.] I have! watched your conduct, sir, for many a year. Yes, sir, long since, as you niav remember, when I censured you in public; —-nav, may I not add, abused you ?—1 have watched your proceedings.—Those; public reports, upon which I founded those 1 proceedings, 1 subsequent!y discovered! to be founded in malignancy and false hood. [Hear.] The result was, sir, that I appenled to you as a Christian and as a man of honor to let me know really liow the case stood. You answered me most nohlv and honorably, and I believed] you. I abused you, sir, no more. I felt.; sir, that some apology was due from me! for the wrong I had done you, and here I urn to receive you. [Hear.”] From the Chronicle & Sentinel. The Augusta Benevolent Society, i t ... Is an institution so well known, so gcn-i a rally approved, and lias, in its past oper ations, been so fruitful of good, as to be emphatically its own recommendation. We write, therefore, not to defend, for there are no objections to answer, nor to I applaud, for it is its own “epistle ol com mendation, known and read of all,” but to stir up “the pure minds” of its friends and patrons “ byway of remembrance.” The revival of trade, the rush of busi ness, with the multifarious engagements they bring along with them, may, and iften do, so engross attention, and swal ow up thought and feeling, as to leave no memory of the poor or cure for their ne cessities. The tnan in the streets, “ buy ing, selling, getting gain,” alive to the ucrative bargain, cherished by the accu mulations of his industry, and the ladv in the parlor, beguiled by the charms of lit erature, or encircled by the company of friends, may both forget, that nigh at land the widow wails in loneliness and want, and that orphans shiver with cold ind cry for bread. But let those who ire “warmed” by the smiles of a kind ier fortune, and filled by the bounty of a lienignant Providence, remember in mer c\ the sad children of affliction and pen iry then shall the blessing of those who ire ready to perish come upon them, and ; heir own .abundance be enjoyed with a ■weeter zest and a purer conscience. In this climate we are so accustomed i o hail a frost as the harbinger of health. - ind to congratulate ourselves on having ■ mrvived the sickly season, that when ■ (raced by the cool, pure air, every pulse i (ounding with vigorous life, our days ; mployed in active business, and our i lights in social hilarity and refreshing ! ijeep, we forget there are those who, beef- , idden through the heats of August and ] September, enfeebled by disease, reduced iy medicine, though now convalescent,;] ire too weak to work, and in too preca- j ious a condition to breast the slightest exposure. Cut off for weeks, in§ some 1 ■ ases f° r months, from employment, the < avails of former industry all consumed, and now too feeble to toil, what are they to do without assistance? j Are there no diseases incident to win 'ter here? Are there none superinduced land aggravated by poverty, by open dwellings, scanty covering, poor fare, and !lack of fuel? The old, the widowed, the orphaned, the sick, the unfortunate, how many ofthese pine in silence and sorrow, ! pinched by sufferings, that the crumbs from the rich man’s table would feed, and the veriest mite of lus abundance make glad. Oh ye who are clad in the fabrics suited to the season; who dwell !"in ceiled houses,” “and fare suinptu jouslv every day;” who lie down at night on beds soft and thickly covered; who; ! rise in the morning to dress by the glow ing fire—remember the needy. “ Bless-! ;ed is the man who considereth the poor— the Lord will deliver him in time of trou ble.” It is to be remembered, too, that the officers and visiting committees of the Benevolent Society relieve us of all trouble. Our benefactions are distributed without our labor and without loss of time to us. These agents do the visiting.! dispense our charities, watch by the sick,! and bear all the burden of this work ol ; mercy The committees arc about to ; make application to the citizens for mon. jey, or provisions, or wood, as may best isuit them to give. Permit us to say, I that this last article will be most thank fully received by the Society, and is as: i indispensable to the comfort of the poor las of the rich. One benevolent gentle | man, during the past winter, contributed ilargely in this way, anil to the great re-; lief of the necessitous. Would that hisj example “might provoke others to love land to good works.” W e are authorized to say, that those; ! who are disposed to give wood, may con-; sign to the care of Mr. John W. Wight | man, the Secretary of the Society, who will distribute as a judicious appointment may require. Let the Society be sustained, for it is | worthy. Let the rich help, for the poor jure amongst us. Heaven has committed them to our care, and wo to us if their (cries awake no pity and secure no relief. Sons of Temperance. This order, celebrated their first anni versary on Monday the 9th inst. At 3 I o’clock, P. M. they formed into line, and | proceeded through the principal streets ; 'their neat regalia and large numbers, pre sented an imposing spectacle, in addition to their co-operation with the great tem perance movement of the country, they inculcate principles of pure benevolence. In sickness they watch over a brother, and allow him 84 00 a week during his i illness, and when a member dies, S3O are happropriated to defray bis funeral expen ses, in consideration of which, each mem- I her pays an initiation fee, and 6 cents i weekly. In the evening, an oration was | delivered bv M. Oakiey, Esq., in the Broadway Tabernacle ; that spacious [building was filled to its utmost capacity, j and the exercises throughout were highly I interesting. A Portrait of Mr. Daniel -Sands, the first Grand Patriarch, was presented to the New York State Division of the Sons of Temperance. After a hymn sung hy the choir, the congrega tion joined in the Christian Doxology, (“Praise God from whom ail blessings How,” the benediction was pronounced, and the audience retired evidently pleas ed with the exercises. The order, we learn, numbers about 1,500 in this city, and is rapidly extending itself through the Eastern, Western, and Southern States; it is becoming popular, and much bene fit is anticipated from it. An fixpensive Nap. The True Sun says that three well dressed young men walked into one of the New York fashionable Hotels, and called for “julaps,” drank them, and one of them being seized with a drowsy fit , went to the “ land of dreams.” His friends however, wore wide |‘awake,’ and one of them was observed |by a gentleman in the room to put his hand into the waistcoat pocket of the sleeper. The gentleman supposing that this was merely a practical joke between friends, said nothing. Presently the two went off, leaving their companion to enjoy his snooze. YVhenhe awoke, in about an hour afterwards, his'first inquiry was for his companions, and being told they were gone, he thrust his hand into his pockets, and finding what nature abhors —a vacuum—he exclaimed in alarm, ‘l’ve lost slso!’ The circumstances which had taken place being mentioned to him, he avowed that it was ‘no joke’ at all, and that he did not even know the names of the parties, having merely ta ken a drink with them at the Exchange, where he had received the money that forenoon. i The moral and advice with which the paragraph concludes will apply in other I places as well as in New York. Moral —lst, Don’t drink intoxicating < liquors—2d, Never ‘cotton to people you l don’t know—3d, When you sleep with i . money in your pocket, keep one eye open, and 4th, If you will drink, will make pro miscuous acquaintances, and can't keep awake in a public bar-room, get some i discreet and honest teetotaler to attend, you as a dry nurse. “Here Sir, is a Lady that will put | you to the blush !”-—A very beautiful jand accomplished Italian lady, wife of the gallant general, who particularly dis tinguished himself during the campaign in Egypt, was so enthusiastically fond of her husband, that she shared with him the I fatigues of that hazardous expedition,! clothed in male attire. On one occasion, this heroic female happened to find a ve-| teran grenadier, who had become blind: from the effects of the climate and thej sands of the desert, straying far from his comrades, and in all probability doomed to death on the trackless plain, galloped up to the unfortunate soldier at the risk of being captured by the enemy, when directing him to keep fast hold of the tail of her horse, she in this manner walked! the animal, and rescued the brave fellow from his impending danger. This ladv j being in company with Bonaparte and the other officers at the foot of one of the j [Pyramids, where no provisions were at; [band, some rats were procured and broil jed, of which, however, one of the gener al’s aid-de-camp was too squeamish to! eat. Napoleon, feeling indignant up braided the officer, and turned to madamoi Vordier, saying, “Here, sir, is a lady that 1 [[will put you to blush.” He at the same time presented her with a portion of the jilood; whereof she cheerfully partook to the satisfaction of all present, except the , aid-de-camp, who was long after subject ed to the taunt of his brother officers.— Bourriennc. '! India Cotton.—The falling off, says ■ the N. Y. Express, in the supply of India ■ Cotton, imported into England, will he > very considerable. In 1842, the quan l titv reached 355,000 bales; this year 1843, it is estimated that the quantity • will not be over 200,000 bales. This fs ' an item of considerable importance in es i timatingthe stock of cotton in Europe, as r the supply must bo made from the growth . of the United States. —Charleston Tran script. New Shoe Machine. 1 TheN. Y. Evening Post gives the fol- I lowing description of the manner ofma : king shoes by a machine owned by Mr. - Buggies, ofNo. GO, Gold street, in that i city: “The sole leather is first pressed - between wooden rollers which makes it y extremely firm and compact—much more .so than hammering can do. It is then ■, placed under a cutting machine, which s at one operation cuts it into the right e shape. Meantime another machine is - busily making steel wire into screws of -about three feet, in length, all of which is s done with surprising celerity. A fourth s machine punches the sole with holes, in e serts the screw, and cuts it off at the prop sor length. All that is then necessary is , to rivet the screws by a few blows with a y hammer on an anvil. The soles manu- I factured in this way are superior to the s Napoleons, inasmuch as the rivets adhere i better, and the leather is rendered more r compact. They are produced with in - finitely less labor, and can ho afforded , about fifty per cent cheaper. A smart young student of Anatomy re . marked, in the hearing of his sister, that , the reason there arc so many old maids in t the world, is all rawing to their tight lac . ing —which so hardens their hearts , as . to make them impenetrable to the shafts [ of Cupid. And the reason there are so many old bachelors, retorted the sister, is because of their tight strapping —they can’t get on | their knees to declare their passion. DOMESTIC I)EFARTMENT. A NEW WAY TO MAKE CANDLES. We have been shown a candle, about the : size of a large broom straw, which makes a very brilliant light, and is as durable as the tallow candle. As this is the age for [economy in every thing, it may not be ; amiss for us to tell our readers how to make them. Take one pound of bees i wax and a fourth of a pound of soft tur pentine from the tree, melt them together,; strain them; take your wick of the de sired length, and stretch it as you would; in making a plough line; then take the; composition in a thin waiter, and hold the wick down in it as you apply it from end to end; this done three times, will complete the operation. The above pro portion of the ingredients is sufficient for a wick 40 yards long. —Chambers (Ala.) Herald. Preserving Eggs There is a patent in England for preserving eggs; the composition used is as follows, and by adopting the method, it is said, eggs have been kept two years: One bushel of quick lime, thirty-two j ounces of salt, eight ounces of cream of ‘ tartar. Mix the whole together, with as j much water as will reduce the composi-l -■ - .■■■a ■■ i i mma imbiii i tion to such a consistency that an eggj when put into it, will swim. _ The following was taken from a news-! paper several years ago : j “The following discovery was, a few years ago, communicated by the Royal Society of Sweden to that of London. . After roofing a house with wood, boil some tar, and mix it with finely pulver ized charcoal till it is of the thickness of . mortar, spread this with a trowell about a fourth of an inch thick over the roof, it will soon grow hard, and defy all the vi cissitudes of weather. Roofs thus cov ered have stood in Sweden over a century [ and still want norepair.” G. Charlotte , Ya.
