jßother acts, when those already in exis- Bteneecannot be executed? Why ridi- Scule or denounce your neighbor? It; Nfinust be either to drive him from his po ‘Jsition, by rendering it uncomfortabe, 9 which is a species of force, or to gratify a ■ revengeful feeling in your own bosom, a which is a motive equally unworthy the ■ spirit of this reformation. Many other ■ considerations might be here introduced lin favor of the above recommendations, hut the compass of this report renders them admissible. Wc believe that our; experience of the past, warrants us in safely recommending to you persuasion find example, as the most important, as well as the most efficient means, to be employed in the accomplishment of vour purposes. These are means not liable to abuse, nor is it easy to convert them into weapons wherewith to injure the reforma tion. Win, if possible, the confidence of your neighbor by your friendly deport ment; and when ever Vou intend to S speak upon the subject of his intemper ? ance, do it privately, and with a delicacy 1 that shall indicate how much you share S the pain your sense of duty urges to in ■ diet. Teach him day by day the advan- I tages of total abstinence, by your unob -1 trusive example. Persist steadily and | persevering!)' to this course, and you will ; soon have reason to rejoice in the im provement of the moral condition of your neighborhoods; as it is not in the nature of man long to resist such an influence. Wc would further recommend to the lo gical Societies to be very careful in their •organization, to select proper officers to {preside over them ; as the success of the Society will in a good degree depend up, jt on their efficiency. We know several ■ Societies now who are declining we be- I lieve, mainly on this account. It it also I important that as many of the community ■ attend the various meetings of the Socic ■ ty as can be induced to go; and for the 1 purpose of securing their attendance, the meetings should be made as interesting and attractive as possible. To this end, | the reading of essays is advised, as well as all other incans of instruction and im- I provement, which the resources of the I community will afford. Fur the Washingtonian. Til E It ECL. AIM ED. Br ANNA P. KENNEY. “ Go sign the pledge,” a young wife said, To her erring husband, at her side, Th«t you may once more be as free, As when you claimed me lor your bride. Rcinenolber, dear, the vows you breathed, VVhen A*ipe sat smiling on your brow, I Ami | lain tod scoot* of happier years; Those hopes alasJ wheie are they now] ■ Where is the smile ] loved tosee, And whore the sympathising voice, Whose tones of kindness often cheered, And made my youtklul heart rejoice] Where is the light, elastic step, With which you trod our cottage home, And where the hrightand beaming eye, Tint with such deep affection shone] ’Tis true, my summer friends arc flown ; For they were false —I see it now— And when 1 turn to meet their gaze, Coldness and seoru, sits on their brow. I ask not for their smiles, for they No real happiness impart; I only ask, that I may share The affections of my husband's heart. That you would throw the cup aside— The haunts of vice forever shun : Be all that once you was to me, And make your home a happy one: I cannot bear that you should be An utter blank while here you stay ; The casket that contains the mind, Be thrown so carelessly away. i And while I sec so sad a change, Say, dearest! may it not be mine, To draw you from this dark abyss, That you may kneel at Temperance’s shrine] She paused—a calm o’erspread her soul— A teardrop glistened in her eye— And while she made this last appeal, Iler prayer was registered on high. ■“ I’ll go, I’ll go,” the husband said, “ I’ll wear no more the accursed chain,” He signed the pledge, and from that hour, The world beheld him free again ! Then, in that happy cottage home, There came a spirit from above; And round the altar of their hearts, Were twined the wreaths of changeless love.; Augusta, Nov. 13th. From the Charleston Rambler. John Hawkins. I Soon after his reform Mr. Hawkins I was invited by a society in New York,! I as be has been here, to address the pub [ lie. He had never spoken except to his ' l associates, in that “ Carpenter’s Shop” ' I in Baltimore, the memory of which will ' 1 remain when granite piles are unknown. 1 , He went with reluctance, with an almost ' unconquerable timidity. The audience 1 | was crowded, expectant and silent. Mr. f Hawkins began m his own simple way, j but he had not proceeded far before a * rough voice was heard from a remote part of the gallery crying, “ Can I be saved, can any thing be d done for me ?” c i | “Yes brother,” said John Hawkins, t you can be saved. Come down and !< sign this pledge.” t There was a rustling in the gallery, i the immense mass moved to make a path- I wav. Hawkins went to meet his suffer-: ing brother, took his arm and led him up ‘ the aisle. For a moment there was pro- I ! found silence, but when the unfortunateji man made his mark in the Pledge Book, I ,;for he could not write his name, a shout I :| of irrepressible enthusiasm and sympathy I rang through the crowd. !i We prize, we love oratory. The an- < i cients did well to give it a God. It de- 1 serves one, but where, we ask, is the mere ; : orator who could produce an effect like. ■ this! i No man should go to a temperance; i meeting as a critic. His question should; not he, is my love of the beautiful to be; ' gratified, but, is mv suffering fellow man to be saved. He must lay his hand upon >jhis heart, and pray that the sluggish wa ters of philanthropy may bo moved. — Just as surely as he does this, the person ■ of the reformed drunkard will change to ■ an angel, and stir those waters with lieal ■ ing power. Child Lost ! Child Lost!! Toll the Bell! Sound the alarm! Sendi j out your scouts ! for there is a child lost! I —a child lost!!—a child lost out of ma-| r ny families. “Lost where ?in the woods ?” Xo. ‘Overboard?” No. “Down in the | well?” No “Where then?—be quick '—tell us, in the name of heaven if there ;is a child lost toll ns where, how—we ’ would he after it.” Do you really want to know then ! We’ll tell you. There ’ is a child lost, nav many children lost, in 1 the black depths of IN TEMPER. ANCE! —Pshaw! Why do you de | ceivc us ? Why raise a false alarm ?” A false alarm, sir, what do you mean ? Is a child lost, who has tumbled over board, and is the child not lost who has fallen into the abyss of intoxication ? Is • the child lost who has wandered into the J woods?—and is the child not lost who 1 has strayed into the depths of the sot ? Away with your foolish inconsistencies. J v » and go forth to the rescue. Go into the reeking haunts of iniquity, and snatch the lost children, like brands from the ; burning, away from these horrible re sorts. Sink vour drag into the red waves of intemperance and haul up the rum soaked carcasses with which they arej stained. Carry the dripping son home to his mother—and she will wash your feet with her tears and exclaim—“ Lo my| <on who was lost—is found—who was dead is alive again!”— N. B. Standard. Clairvoyance. The “Learned Blacksmith,” Mr. Bur ritt, (says the Boston Post,) has underta ken to find out what is going on in the moon, and to ascertain the language spo-i • ken by the inhabitants there, through the ; power of clairvoyance. Here is an ex- 1 tract from his letter to the Rev. Le Roy; i Sunderland, which is supremely ridicu-j lous and absurd, as any thing that was! ever hammered out upon the mental an-' | vil of any man, “learned” or unlearned :| ;— Wash. News. “A few months ago I received a com-! jmunication from a gentleman residing in la remote part of the State, to this effect, i He had sent a lad, in the clairvoyant state, to the moon, whero lie had made many discoveries with regard to the in habitants, <scc. Having found his wav: jinto a huildingresemhlingaschool-hou.se, he detected a book, which, upon opening, ihe was unable to read. At the request of the magistrate, he copied off twenty eight well formed characters, as different jfrom each other as the letters of our al phabet. These were forwarded to me | to compare with the characters employ ed in the Oriental languages. A few weeks afterwards [ received another let ter from the gentleman, containing the results ot another tour of discovery to the moon. The lad saw things more de finitely this time, and took drawings of a monument and a metallic horn. Upon the monument was an inscription, writ ten in the very characters which the boy found in the book. I have just written to the gentleman, requesting him to be gin anew series of experiments upon the moon, simultaneously with Mr. Shep herd, and send the result to me. I would i therefore propose that you do the same | with your subject, and to publish the re- | j suit of the three series together, should| ! there be a striking correspondence. The course I have proposed to Mr. S. and the : other gentleman was, to take their sub- ' jects to the north east side of the moon let them proceed through to the south west side, then from the west to the south east, from north to south, and from easi to west, describing what they saw, as would be natural to a traveller journeying through a new country. When each oi the three subjects has been gone througl in the above order, it might be of great interest to compare notes on the moon.” The Stutterer. During the Revolutionary War, wher dralts were made from the militia to re cruit the continental army, a certain cap tain gave liberty to the men who were drafted from his company, to make their objections, if they had any, against going into the service. Accordingly, one of l them, who had an impediment in his < speech, came forward and made his bow. , '“What is your objection?” said the cap tain. “Ica-ca-cant go,” answers the man, “ because I st-st-stutter.” “ Stut- 1 ;ter!” says the captain. “You don’t go ;there to talk, but to fight.” “ Aye ; but they’ll p-p-put me on g-g-guard, and a man may go ha-ha-half a mile before I can say, “Wh-wh-who goes there?” “Oh, that is no objection, for they will place some sentry with you ; he can chal lenge and you can fire.” Well, but 1 mav be taken, and run th-th-through be fore I can cry qu-qu-quarters.” This last plea prevailed, and the captain, laugh ing heartilv, dismissed him. ° • 7 From the Charleston Rambler, ot tlic 12th inst ARRIVAL, OF THE ACADIA. By the arrival of the Acadia, at Boston, on Wednesday afternoon, we have Liver pool and London news to the 19th ult., | inclusive. S The cotton market in Liverpool had! 'advanced halfa cent a pound on the arri val of the news by the Switzerland on the 12th, and ten thousand bales changed hands at the advance; but on the arrival of the Hibernia on the 14th, prices fell back quarter of a cent, and the market closed quietly. The Switzerland carried! out the first news of a frost at the south ; the accounts by the steamer were not so favorable for a rise, hence the reaction. The State trials in Ireland drag their j slow length along. Little progress has| yet been made, and if the statement that j I the defendants have 20,0 DD witnesses to( , examine be correct, the proceedings will become the greatest bore in the world be fore they are finished. . The Orangemen of the North of Ire. land are re-organizing their Society, hut without secret pass words, or other signs, which have been pronounced illegal.— The re-organization is rapidly extending.’ The Great Britain, the mammoth j steamer, built and launched at Bristol! this summer, is expected at Liverpool before Christmas, and will astonish the citizens of New York some fine day in the ensuing spring. The England, Bartlett, entered Liver pool early on the 6th, having performed! the voyage in seventeen days. The Hibernia, Judkins, made her pas-; Jagfi in 12 and a halfdays from Boston. General Duff Green lias written a let-! ter to the Times to combat the views of the American correspondent of that jour nal and others, as to the impracticability of a commercial treaty between England! and the United States. Several gentlemen who have carried on : manufactories in Leeds, arc about to pro ceed to Constantinople, having made an iarrangement with the Sultan for superin. ] tending different departments of a large [manufacturing establishment in that city. The accounts from the east tell a la imentable tale of blood, assasination, and [treason. The native Governments arej gradually crumbling to pieces from sheer inanition. The Punjaub has witnessed (the hands of its ministers and sovereign incarnadined, under circumstances mark-' (ed by peculiar treachery and atrocity. Mr. Sands, an American merchant,! | has been elected mayor of Liverpool for [the ensuing year. All parties in America, connected with the trade of Liverpool, will learn not with less surprise than did the good people of! Liverpool themselves, that a project has; been set on foot for the erection of docks on the Cheshire side of the Mersey. List of Payments to the Washingtonian. August a : -S. Bassford, James T.

We now quote 7£ to the latter price could only be obtained for a choice; article in square packages. The princi pal sales are at ~t\ to 7| cents, with a small proportion of the actual sales at 8 cents. These prices are much higher than the late quotations of the English market would warrant, but are supposed by dealers to be justified by recent ac counts from the west of injury sustained j by the crop by heavy rains and other dis asters.
