ibowl. The father has of ngry children in deep gloom, last sixpence for whiskey to; v. Rather than meet the of a wife, and hear the cry ng little ones, he has linger by drunkard’s den, vainly r in the poison-draught, and ed there the hard earnings >or in a base debauch.

The Officers of the | in Society in Hamburg, de- Mkve lusting praise for the zeal display ed in their noble cause. In fact the ex amples set by those who have reformed, and the inducements for still farther suc-| Jss, will compensate their labor in a great ;asure. —Whether by the Washingto m system, or something else, Hamburg s been greatly reformed within a few ars, and is assuming a name which ould characterise a commercial city ;e ours. Her star of greatness is ris i g, and may it shine brighter every hour 4 her duration.— Journal. Interesting Temperance Incident, j At a large meeting of the Washing tj n Temperance Society last evening al i icir Hall, an interesting incident took I ace, in the re-union of a man and his ( ife who had be'en separated for many j Bars, in consequence of intemperance i i the part of the husband.—He has re- Intly been reclaimed and made to sec e error of his ways through the instru cntalit v of the Temperance cause. The seting was crowded with ladies and gen anon, anxious to behold the contem-i itc.l e nuu miji The firm specified j ving arrived, Mr. Knight made an ap opriaie address, and being followed by me observations from Mr. Casey, the 0 exiles, as it were, from connubial af :tion, were brought up, attended each! several friends, and again joined in ppy union. The scene is described as Having been deeply affecting and full of ■Merest. It is hoped that constancy may |*i future be their guiding star, and Tern erance their everlasting motto.—Some appv remarks were made on the occa on by Mr. W. Iv. Mitchell, President of le Society.— Balt. Patriot. Father .llatkew anil the Press, In reference to some remarks relative > the newspaper press,made by a cler yman present, Father Mathew took oc asion to say, that next to God to support im, to the public press, the most mighty loral power on this earth, did he attri ute the success which had attended the reat moral movement, “Total Absti ence.” In Ireland, with one solitary tception, the whole press had been in his ivor, and in London they all knew the owertull support he had received by the nblic press of all shades of opinion ; and b thus publicly tendered his grateful tanks to those who had the control of rery metropolitan daily journal. Intemperance In Ireland. A person who has never been in Ireland an form but a very faint idea of the ! eight ; to which intemperance was carri i a fqw years ago. It may, indeed be ■ 'uly, observed, that “nearly every crime ominitted in the country might be trac- 1 d, directly or indirectly, to the influence 1 1 the whiskey.” Warburton, in his ! “History of Dublin,” states that pais spirit was not introduced into that ' ity until about the year 1750, but that ; itemperance was just as common with 1 im and brandy— the spirits then used. 1 he quantity of claret drunk at the amej Briod was enormous. In the year 1753 ie importation from France alone was ,000 tons. We have no means of know- r ig what quantity of whiskey was drunk 1 i Dublin before Father Mattthew effect- 'I i his moral revolution there ; but it may e stonish some persons to learn that in r ’homas-street, in that city, containing t 67 houses, no less than 62—we ascer- r lined from personal observation—were nrit-shops, or places where whiskey c ould be purchased in 1840! This vas t< i one street only; but certainly all the v reets were not like this. After Father o latthew visited Dublin, three-fourths of u ie spirit-dealers became insolvent; and u was to this circumstance more than anv other, that O’Connell’s non-election after the last dissolution was to be attributed, ;most of the shop-keepers having been of his interest, and the spirit-dealers having lost their votes.— N. Y. Observer. From the Norfolk Herald. An affectionate Spirit. We sometimes meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in af fectionate feeling, is a weakness. They will return from a journey and greet their families with distant dignity, and move among their children with the cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg, surrounded with its broken fragments. There is hardly a more unnatural sight on earth, than one of these families. A father had better extinguish his boy’s eyes,.than takeaway his heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friend ship, and knows the worth of sympathy and affection, would not rather lose all that is beautiful in nature’s scenery, than be. robbed of the hiddon treasures of his heart ? Who would not rather follow his child to the grave, than entomb his par ental affection ? Cherish, then, your heart’s best affec tions. Indulge in the warm and gushing emotions of filial, parental, fraternal love. Think it not a weakness. God is love. Love God: Love every body and every thing that is loved. Teach your children to love; to love the rose, to love the robin, to love their parents, to love their God. Let it be the studied object of your domestic culture, to give them warm hearts and ardent af fections.—Bind your whole family toge ther by these strong cords. You cannot make them too numerous. You cannot make them too strong. Religion is love ; love to God—love to man. Beautitul Extract. The Boston Mercantile Journal selects the following from the Foreigh Review for April, 1839, as one of the finest passa ges in the whoje range of English litera ture. The subject treated of, is the ben efit of printing. “ W hen Tamerlane had finished build ing his pyramids of seventy thousand hu man skulls, and was seen standing at the gate of Damascus, glittering with steel, with his battle-axe upon his shoulder, till fierce hosts filed to new victories and car nage, that the pale on-looker might have fancied that nature was in her death throes—for havoc and despair had taken possession of the earth, and the sun of j manhood seemed setting in seas of blood. Yet it might be on the very gala day of Tamerlane, a little boy was playing nine pins in the streets of Mentz, whose histo ry was more important to them than twenty Tamerlanes! The Tartar Khan, with his shaggy demons of the wilder ness, passed away like the whirlwind, to be forgouen forever—and that German . artisan has wrought a benefit, which is yet immeasurably expanding itself, and will continue to expand through all coun tries and all time. What are the con quests and expeditions of the whole cor porations, from Walter Penniless to Na poleon Bonaparte, compared with the moveable types of John Faust ?” A Terrible Picture. Some of our readers have seen, no doubt, a picture in a late number of the “Punch, or London G’harivari,” one of the pictorial papers, but in the subject of this engraving there is more food for tears than laughter. It is called “Capital and Labor.” In the upper portion is capital, represented by one of the aristocracy, sitting in his easy chair, surrounded with the most costly luxuries, and taking a glass of sparkling wine from a silver sal ver, held by a sleek, fat footman in livery, while at the frontdoor of the mansion is seen his coach and four, with its livried attendants. In theladies’ drawing room, fat lap-dogs are yawning, and luxurious dainties are lavished on a monkey. Now look beneath. Men, women and chil dren are seen at work in nakedness and hunger in deep, dark coal mines ; miser able wretches, crippled by labor, and star ving to death, mothers glaring upon their emaciated infants, which they press with their skeleton fingers, while their task master is seated on his bags of gold. There is a thick door shut against the wretched, with ponderous patent locks, at which love knocks in vain, and hope weeps but cannot enter. It is, indeed, a terrible picture of English life. N. Y. Com. Royal Tribute to Talent. We are informed that Mrs. Sigourxey not long since received a present of a Bracelet from the French Queen.— Phis regal gift is said to be in acknowl edgement of a Poem in which some of the royal family were complimented ; and in- j tended besides as an expression of admi ration for Mrs. Sigourney’s talents. It is gratifying to perceive that Ameri can writers are begining to be apprecia- ' ted in Europe. A few years ago we < were esteemed as little better than a set I of savages, who hardly knew more of the I use of language than to make known our i wants, t Speaking of this tribute to Mrs. Sig- i * ourney, reminds us of another paid to our , amiable and talented townswoman, Mrs, Ellet, by a German lady of high literary ; distinction, in a letter to a friend in this State, who has kindly translated and per mitted us to publish the following extract: “I have read the English work by , Trs. Ellet, of Columbia, upon our im , mortal Schiller, with astonishment and admiration. The author must be a most * accomplished lady. She feels and under , stands the beauties of our great poet. — | How was it possible for her to acquire so | thorough a knowledge of our difficult lan -5 guage. An acquaintance with her must ? be interesting and gratifying, as she must possess not only a highly cultivated 5 mind but a good heart.”— South. Citron. Cotton Gtn. ’ The Tuscaloosa Monitor gives a de- I scriptiori of an improved cotton gin, in vented by a Mr. Kelly of Vicksburg. 1 Miss., the right of which for this State ’ has been purchased by Doctor Maclin. s “The improvement (says the’ Monitor) * consists in attaching three setts of grates and two stationary brushes, thro’ which the saws pass in their revolution as close ly as possible without friction ; in en ’ larging the brush wheel, if practicable, ‘ to 18 to 20 inches diameter, and by box ing the same in an air-tight cylinder, ex- cept at and around the journals; in at " taching a moat board under the saws, be 1 yond which they project through the long ' grates § of an inch into the brush wheel cylindeh” Cotton picked by the im ’ proved gin will bring a cent or more in the pound than other cotton. It would | be highly beneficial to attach to common gins “a grated flue, from six to ten feet ’ long, through which the dust that may pass the brush wheel, may fall in its pas sage to the pick room.” «5 Extraordinary longevity. We were informed a few days since, by a gentleman of veracity and the high ’ est respectability, that there is a man liv ’ ing in the neighboring mountains of North Carolina, not more than 40 miles from this place, by the name of Black * well, who has reached the extraordinary age of one hundred and thirty six years! j At the time of Braddock’s defeat, he was about 45 years old, and had a wife and five * children. Our informant states that he ' has been acquainted with the old man up i wardsofGO years—that he has always P been in moderate circumstances, lived upon plain, coarse diet (and sometimes P not a bountiful supply of that) —that he has led a very temperate life, and bids fair to live several years longer. He enjoys good health and is quite active, frequent ly galloping his horse several miles. He ’ has outlived several wives, and the one he has now has been his partner for some years ; but he remarks that he expects to survive her,and marry another!—Green j ville Mountaineer. A l.arge Man. . The “ Democratic Pacifique,” states . that a farmer had lately died in Moors . led, Belgium, of enormous dimensions. ? He was seven feet in circumference, and the calves of his legs were as large as the body of an ordinary man. His coffin } was three feet wide and three feet deep, ; yet he completely filled it.—He was fa mous for his cure of rheumatism, and on P being called to Lille, in 1819, to treat a person of distinction, the crowd surround , ed his carriage, and called him Louis XVIIL, crying “Long live Louis XVIII.” ’ His resemblance to that monarch was so ’ strking, that the soldiers on duty did him ( military honors. He died on the 16th of September, 84 years of age. , A Choice Drug. ? A writer on ancient coins describes a 1 silver piece from Cyrene, in Africa, bear , ing the head cf Jupiter Ammon, and the 5 silphium on the reverse. This silphium r was a plant yielding a drug as much es ■ teemed by the ancient Greeks as opium 1 is now by the Chinese : it was called op ■ opannox, or heal-all, and as a matter of ■ course, effected wonderful cures. So ' great was its price, that, according to Pli -1 ny, Julius Caesar defrayed the expenses of the civil war by selling 110 ounces of silphium which he found stored in the ! public treasury. After thus much we i may be startled to be told that a drug so 1 choice was neither more nor less than as safoetida. Horse Jttadisli. It is easy to have a supply of horse radish all winter. Have a quantity gra ted while the root is in perfection, put it in bottles, fill it with vinegar, and keep it corked tight. , Note. —lt is very much improved by keeping it in this way if kept from the action of the air. To prevent Earthen Ware from Cracking. It is a good plan to put new earthen ware into cold water, and let it heat gra dually until it boils—then cool again Brown earthen ware in particular may be toughened in this way. A handful of rye or wheat bran thrown in while it is 1 boiling, will preserve the glazjng, so that £ it will not be destroyed by acids or salt. a AUGUSTA MARKET; COTTON— a 7j, The demand for this important staple, we are happy to say, has been good during the week ; the principal sales are at 7sa7£.
