it not made a business of profit ? In i
other places this is the course of things. ;
Men of enterprise make fortunes by en- t
couraging the artizans of other cities. <
Even in our own city the products of their
labour are sold to an immense amount
the sales of one house sometimes exceed
ing two thousand dollars per week ! Why
should we not emulate such examples ?
And if we have not the individual enter
prize, why may not the Home Industry
Society pay interest for capital enough
to enable it to be the agent in this great
work ? Let us rouse up to our duties,
and employ our people, and Augusta will
• flourish.
l The election that took placPon Monday
1 night has given the Society more business
■ talents, evinced among other things, in
* the resolution adopted to make one more
s effort to excite the citizens to renewed
■ interest in behalfof the institution. This
listo be done next week. I heartily wish
S them success, and doubt not if they meet
I it, but what it will enable them to quad- j
I ruple the good which this society is doing
I for our community.

For the Washingtonian.
Messrs. Editors —Forasmuch as some
have taken it in hand to advise the young
of mv sex, on the choice of husbands, it
has seemed good to me, in the spirit of
♦courtesy, to return the favor to the young
of the male sex. 4 you will give me the
H «pporlunity of doing this, I promise to
■ labor to make the quality, if not the
I quantity, of advice, equal to that of our
I kind monitors. v
Young Washingtonians! For most
I weighty reasons, I counsel you to avoid
1 marriages with young ladies who with
* hold their names and influence from the
1 temperance reform. Some of these rea
sons I will now offer for your considera
4ion. Temperance, universally acknow.
lodged to be indispensable to human hap
piness and prosperity, cannot possibly be;
opposed or slighted by ladies, except
-from one of three causes: gross selfish- 1
ness—want of high moral sense—or want
of good common sense!
The grossly selfish keep aloof from the
■cause, that they may not deny them
i selves or desired sensual
as egg-nogg at Christ
mas, <fcc., which they prize more than
the well-being of society. They would
not even suffer the privatiqp of tasting
wine after dinner with a “fool of quality”
I to heal the broken hearts of all the mo
thers in America. A should be
as welcome to your bosoms, as one of this
class of families.
The deficient in moral sense—unfor
tunate, miserable class—you will avoid
of course, as you would a pestilence.—j
You only need to know these, to fly from!
them. It shall be my duty to give you!
the clue by which to find them out. At I
present however, I "can give you onlyi
some general ihinis. They see and feel)
no beauty in moral excellence by itself j
considered ! Hence, a man is a man
with them whether virtuous or vicious ,
and one with dandy garb and big preten
sions, stands higher in their estimation,
though void of moral character, than mo
dest worth though adorned with all the
graces of virtue and intelligence. Hence
their incivility to dissolute young men'of
fashion ; their incivility to virtuous voung
men ot plain habits and manners. Hence
their delight at theatres and their relish for
vulgar pleasantry;—their indifference to
religion, and their contempt for the tem
perance reform. Hence their indolence
and want of cleanliness at home, and
their indecency and extravagance of con-
I duct aQ d dress when from home. You
I W ‘N know them still better hereafter.
Those who do not aid in the good work
for the want of common sense, are so con.
spicuous in their folly as not to call for
an index to enable you to find them out.
They fear to give offence to Messrs. Mus
tache, Goatey, Cigaro, Strappey, and
Fooley, by refusing to take wine with
them, and therefore they cannot join the
Temperance Society. Poor creatures, J
they and their beaux are alike !—neither
have mind nor knowledge enough to [
grapple with a subject of larger dimen- 1
sions than the breadth of their straps, or 1
the size of their bustles; nor have wit '
sufficient to keep each other awake, and (
hence the resort to wine. But the mostr
infallible characteristic of this class, if
you want one, is, that they have the as
tonishing folly to think themselves the
elite of society. Delia.

Augusta, 9th Nov.
Mr. Obed —As your sympathies ap
pear to be very deeply enlisted in behalf
of the weaker sex; will voubekind enough
'to inform me, whether it is best for a
young lady to accept the hand of a fash
ionable gentleman who enjoys and sus
tains a reputation for being dissipated,
but whom she hopes to reform, or to refuse
his hand, and run the risk of becoming
that most odious character, commonly
called an old maid ? As I have great
! respect for your advice, you will confer a
favor by giving it to
Your’s, respectfully,
Louisa.

Temperance Movements in Burke.
Messrs. Editors —l feel it my duty to
inform you of some incipient Temper
lance movements lately made in Burke, a
very old county, and long celebrated for
the alcoholic propensity of its inhabitants.
, We have lately held two meetings and
formed two societies, small ones truly,
1 but, considering all the attendant circum
stances, sufficiently large to rouse afresh
'j the fire of our zeal, and give us high
; hopes of brilliant success in future. You
. wish to obtain the history of Temper
ance Societies; and as I believe our in
fant association will grow at length to gi
ant size, I know not why their incipient
history’ should be withheld from the pub
lie eye.
The first of our meetings was held at
|. the Bark-Camp Academy, on Saturday
the 21st of September, if I remember
rightly, at which time it was my privilege
; (1 esteem it a privilege to do good) to ad
dress the small audience assembled. I
think there were not more than 20 per
sons present, some who wished to be there
being obliged to attend a Coroner’s In
quest over the body of a negro who had
been killed by a drunken white man.
Small as was my congregation, I feltiny
jspirit stirred within me, while I reflected
[that I was giving utterance to the first
Temperance address ever delivered in
| that region. I had been told that, as
soon as I finished my discourse, some one
would hand me a bottle of spirits; but al
though the worst man in that region was
present, I failed to receive my liquor ; the
people behaved well, save the fellow just
alluded to; and at the close of the ad
dress seven signatures were obtained.
; Oil the next day I had an appointment to
■ preach at Haleswell church—l preached
from Hab. ii. 15. “Wo to him that giv
eth his neighbor drink” &c. After ser
' mon three gentlemen waited on the con
i gregation for signatures to the pledge,
but only two were obtained ; they joined
the Bark-Camp Society.
On the following Saturday, (the 28th)
.wo held another Temperance meeting in
'ja grove near Robert Stewart’s, where we
: were then holding a three days’ religious
I meeting. I have long known that reli
gion cannot prosper where grog is drunk,
l determined therefore, contrary to the
| wish of some of my brethren, to hold a
'Temperance meeting on Saturday, be
jlteving that, if I could get them all to be
come tee-totaler sthere would be some
'chance to get them, not only to .start in
1 the way to heaven, but to continue there
in. I had written to Dr. P. S. Lemle of
Louisville, to favor us with a speech on
that occasion, but as he failed to attend,
the talking devolved on me. I address
ed them some 20 to 25 minutes, and then
sung them a temperance song, while
gentlemen went round for their names.
Fourteen signed the pledge, thirteen at
taching themselves to the New Prospect
Temperance Society, and one to the
Bark-Camp. Three gave in their names
afterwards. So, you see, at the end of
this meeting our Bark-Camp Society num
bered 10 members, and that of New
Prospect sixteen.
New Prospect is a Methodist Church,
and the Society called by its name was
formed at the Stewart meeting, but the
meetings of the society are to be held at
this church. Wm. Houser.

. John Hreed Dwight.
i The death of this gentleman, a tutor
, in Yale College, at the hands of one of
- the younger members of the College, is
i thus announced in the New Haven Her
i aid :
i Some young rowdies of the advancing
. classes were paying their respects to the
. Freshmen in course of induction prohib
. ed by the rules of the Institution, which
t Tutor Dwight, with others, attempted to
. suppress. In the performance of this du
ty he seized a young man named Lewis
t Fassir of Philadelphia, and was in the act
i of drawing him to the light in order to
r recognise him, when Fassir drew a knife
? or dirk, of some kind, and gave him three
- successive stabs near the groin and al
[ most penetrated the femoral artery, which
. would have been instantly fatal. A fe
s ver ensued which soon terminated in
- death.
I Mr. Dwight, adds the Herald was a son
. of Mr. Dwight of New Haven, late of
Richmond, Va., and a grandson of the
1 late President Dwight. He was only 21
t years of age, and graduated at Yale Col
i lege in the class 1840. He was a gen
« tleman of fine promise and his loss will
j make a serious void in the social and lite
- rary circles to which he was attached.
s Fassir, the young man who now stands
! guilty of perpetrating the highest crime
t known to (he laws, has left this city, and
- will probably escape. We understand,
. however, that measures have been insti
-3 tuted for his apprehension, and that a re-
I quisition will be made to the Governor of
. Pennsylvania for his surrender to the
. hands of justice.
. To this account the New Haven Regis
!, ter adds:
J “We were somewhat surprised at the
fataUermination of this affair, inasmuch
) as we had been informed by certain offi
i cers of the College that it was a harmless
j affair, and unworthy of public notice. In
s proof of this, the young man remained in
. college for several days after the fracas,
;, and the attention of the authorities was in
bno manner called to it. We think the
i Faculty much to blame for suppressing
. the real facts in the case.” .

Anecdote of Dr. Gregory.
3 In the life of Sir Astley Cooper, the
1 following anecdote is related of Dr. Gre
gory :
It was the custom of each professor to
1 receive at his own house, the fees from
’ the new pupil. One day, Dr. Gregory,
‘ thus engaged, had used all his blank tick
-1 ets, and was obliged to go into an adjoin
-3 ing apartment to procure one for a stu
’ dent whom he had left sitting in his con
" suiting-room. The accumulated money
1 was lying on the table, and from this sum,
3 as he was re-entering the room, he saw
the young man sweep a portion and de
posite it in his pocket. Dr. Gregory took
‘ his seat at the table as if nothing had oc
’ curred, filled up the ticket and gave it to
the delinquent. He then accompanied
’ him to the door, and when at the thresh
* old, with much emotion, said to him—l
‘ saw what you did just now ; keep the mo
ney ; I know not what must be your dis
tress, but for God’s sake, don’t do it again
—it can never succeed.”
The pupil in vain offered him back the
money ; and the doctor had the satisfac
tion of knowing that this moral lesson
produced the desired impression on his
mind.
Mathematical Demonstration.
The late eccentric mathematician,
Professor Vince, of King’s College, Cam
bridge, being once engaged in a conver
sation with a gentleman who advocated
duelling, is said to have thrown his adver
sary completely hors du combat, by the *
ollowing acute and characteristic reply i
o his question—“ But what could you
o, sir, if a man told you to your very face.
‘ You lie’ ?” “ What cud Ido ? Why I
’ wudn’t knock him down, but I’d tell him
to pruv it. 4 Pruv, sir, pruv it,’ I’d say.
If he cudn’t he’d be the liar, and there I
4 shud hav him ; but if he did pruv that I’d
: lied, I must e’en pocket the affront, and
1 there, I expect, the matter wud end.
A wet silk handkerchief, tied without
folding over the face, is, it is said, a com
plete security against suffocation from
smoke ; it permits free breathing, and at
the same time exclufles the smoke from
| the lungs. It has been effectually tried.
