From the Dew Drop. The Heart. 1 Mother, there’* something throbbing here ; And when I skip and jump, Though still as death it seemed before, Against my side ’twill thump. And when I’ve run a long, long way, 'Twill beat and flutter so, Just as my bird w.ll beat hi* cage, And beg me let him go. What is it, mother, can you tell 1 It frightened seems and wild; You will not, mother, laugh at me, Or call me silly child.’ 'Ellen, my love, it i* your heart, And though a little thing, It is the fountain of your life, A bright and healthful spring.’ ‘ Ycu arc a funny little rogue To try to cheat me so; Now mother’s told me what you are, You need not think to go.’ . Hush,child! it is a fearful thing, And wonderfully planned; But God who made it, keeps it safe— He holds it in his hand. Your heart is like a golden bowl, Which holds the crimson slot d, And sends through ill the arteries The bright, life-giving blond. The little veins, like smaller streams, Lead on their silent way, Back to the lungs they take the blood, Which will not rest or stay. , But rushes on, a mightier stream, To seek its head and source; The swelling fountain thiows it out, Again to take its course. • i What is the matter with you, child, j Why do you look so pale V ( 0, mother, if the bowl should break, Or the bright fountain fail.’ • ( ' There’s one alone, whoso watchful care i The sacred thing can keep; s O then commit yourself to him, f In waking hours, and sleep.’ s The Rumscller’s Deathbed. t When I entered the room, the doctor 1 sat by the patient’s side, while he appear- I ed insensible. liis face was turned to- c wards the wall, and his eyes were Fixed. < At hmgth he started and then said, c “Do you think I am in danger, doc tor ?” t The physician was loath to say so, as ( physicians usually are, and evaded the I question. But Death’s tide was at its '■ full, and the sick man grew worse, ra- 1 pidly. = “Oh ! doctor, doctor,” said he, “there 1 is something that preys on my mind— 1 something more terrible even than this • fatal disorder.” I The patient tossed and tumbled about, 1 his eyes rolled and flashed, his brow was * knit, and a mental hurricane swept over 1 him. His wife attempted to soothe him, 1 talked of heaven and mercy, hut in vain. !1 I told of the dying love of Christ, and 1 the thief on the cross, but all would not c do. The physician was equally unsuc- ‘ cessful in all his endeavors to calm the 1 troubled mind of the dying man. I “Take away your physic, doctor! it is f useless; it cannot cure a mind diseased!” Again penitence and pardon were spo ken of, and tho physician and the sick man’s family endeavored to pour oil upon y tho troubled waters. But they cast up d mire and dirt. v “Can you tell me what it is that trou- £ hies your mind so deeply V’ v “Oh! doctor! doctor, do not speak of £ it! I knew it was wrong! 1 have sent i their souls to hell! I made them drunk- i ards!” The doctor answered, “You have done c no more than others; they would have sold if you had not.” r “Don’t tell me that! Their blood is i on my skirts—tear it out! Look! I see their faces, and their fiery eyes glaring upon me !—horror! horror! horror !” The physician soothed him as he would I have soothed a child. “It will relieve your mind,” said he to tho sick man. “Oh! God! I wish I could get relief! see! doctor, —see them all point their skinny fingers at mo!—Kill me! kill me! There’s Mrs. Briggs, to whom I sold rum the night her children starved. She asks for money to buy them bread—here she stands !—my God ! my God !—I have not got the money—go to her—quick— quick—Oh ! horror! horror ! horror !” “Heavens! doctor do you call those shadows ?—Keep them out! Keep them out!—There they come into the room ! shut the window and bar the shutters!— I see old Gritfin who froze to death, he’s trying to come in. There’s his winding sheet! Oh, don’t, don’t don’t burn me !” The physician then rose, to humor hit miserable patient, went to the window and closed the shutter. “Look there, doctor! there’s a young woman whose husband I got drunk, ant he murdered her! 1 took her coffin to pat his grog-bill! She cries out against uu —she shrieks and tears her hair—oh ! oh! oh!” All efforts were found to lie fruitless ; nothing could succeedin quieting the tu mult in his guilty soul. As a last resource, a clergyman was mentioned to him, and with the fury of a demon he shouted— “ Don’t talk to me of a clergyman ! My soul is lost! lost! lost! The spirits of all the damned whom I have made drunk, are let loose upon me! They pinch !—they burn—they tear me—woe ! woe! woe!” And his burning eye became fixed in its socket, the death-rattle came in his throat, he clasped his hands convulsively together, and died ; and amidst the howl ing of that fearful storm was heard the wails and agonizing cries of the heart broken wife and the terror-stricken chil dren of the rum-seller. —True Wes leyan. Dreadful Loss of Life at Sea by Drunk enness. An appalling shipwreck, with great loss of life, took place at Robin Ilood Bay. near Whitby, a short time ago, in which not only all persons on board perished, but the life-boat’s men who went to their assistance, except one. The communi cant is the Rev. J. Jamerson, and the fol lowing is an extract from the letter : On the night previous to the wreck, the owner of the vessel came on board, and said that the night appeared so stormy they had better not go to sea. The crew then went to take their allowance, and when half intoxicated the captain came, drunk, and immediately ordered them on board ; the captain’s wife endeavored to drag her husband away from the vessel, but he would not be pursuaded. Imme diately after they left Shields he went down into the cabin and remained there in astute of stupor, until the ves-scl struck upon the Whitby rocks, and the crew (six men and two boys besides the captain) had drank eight gallons of ale, besides spir its, The life-boat man who was saved, said the captain and crew were so stupi fiedthat they made no efforts to save them selves, being so very drunk. The gene ral opinion is that had they been sober, they would have rounded Flamborough long before they got upon the rock.” This letter is in the possession of the Temper ance and General Marine Insurance Company, and may be seen by any one desiring it. It gives us much pleasure to observe the establishment of a Temperance and General Marine Insurance Company. It argues well for the cause of teetotal - ism. May it be as successful as the Tem perance Life Assurance. Wc know something of shipping—something of ma rine insurance risks—and are aware that a large portion of the losses at sea arise from the circumstance of the navigators being disqualified by liquor from con ducting their vessels. We should think it much better policy to ship a cargo in n temperance vessel than in one with n drinking crew, for even if insured, there are average losses which fall on the mer chant of a serious amount, besides those of detention and disappointment. This is the reason for preferring an American! to a Liverpool ship for crossing the At lantic, where a large proportion are tem perance ships. —Sheet Anchor. Nip ol Ming. “Give us a Nip of Sling,” said a! young catechumen in the school of rum drinking, as he bristled up to the bar of a village groggerrv. “Give us a Nip of Sling, to washdown the ‘teetotal lecture,’j we have just been hearing!” “Nip of! Sling,” thought I, as I walked away, musing and trying to analyze the cogno-l men—how appropriate “Sling” as a verb, means to throw, or; cast out. And so I thought his “Sling”) will soon “throw” the remnant of his) money to winds—if he has a family, it will “throw them 1. into discouragement. 2. into wretchedness, and 3. upon the town. It will probably “ Sling” himself 1. into idleness. 2. into debt. 3. into crime. 4. into the ditch. 5. into prison. 6. into a drunkard's grave, and 7. into a miserable eternity. Thus musing, I felt constrained to warn j the young man to “Sling” his “Nip” into the fire ; and go and wash down his! •teetotal’ lecture, with a hearty draught of “cold water practices.” It is said, that within six months no less than fifteen murders have been com mitted in the United States. This is a horrid state of affairs—and as the Oasis says, “growing no better fast.” Out of ihe 215 cases of murder, it will not be exaggeration to say that 200 of them were caused either directly or indirectly by the hellish poison rum. And yet we see men who make great pretensions to morality, standing aloof from the tem perance cause, and even opposing it— ! and teaching their children to abhor and curse iti ; (f£r Will our friends aid us in procuring Statistics of the several Temperance • Societies in Georgia ; thereby enabling us to extend the table published below, that we may in time exhibit the entire strength of the Temperance cause in our TSfate ?
