THE SHOEMAKER.
BY MISS. If. G.GOCI.D.
“ Act tret! your pnrl, there all the honor lies?
The shoemaker sat amid wax and leather,
With lapstoneovor his knee,
Where, snug in his shop, he defied all weather,
Drawing his quarters and sole together,
A happy old man was he!
This happy old man was so wise and knowing.
The worth of his time he knew ;
He bristled his er js, and he kept them going,
And felt to each moment a stitch was owing,
Until he got round the shoe.
Os every deed that his wax was scaling,
The closing was firm and fast;
The prick of his awl never caused a feeling
Os pain to the toe; and his skill in healing
Was perfect and true to the last.
Whenever you gave him a foot to measure,
With gentle and skilful hand,
lie took its proportions with looks of pleasure,
As ifyou were giving the costliest treasure,
Or dubbing him lord ofihe land.
And many a one did he save from getting
A fever, or cold, or cough,
For many a foot did lie save from wetting,
When, whether in water or snow ’twas setting,
Ilis shoeing would keep them off.
When he had done with his making and mending
With hope and a peaceful breast,
Resigning his awl, and his thread was ending,
He passed from his bench to the grave descending,
As high as the king to rest.
Impromptu to a bottle.
’Tis very strange that you and l
Together cannot pull;
For you ar efull when I am dry,
And dry when 1 am full.

Better Not.
There is a sort of discussion going on
in one of our exchange papers, as to
whether it is ever wise for a woman to
marry a man addicted to the use of strong
drink, with the hope of reforming him
afterwards. For us, we think the ques
tion too plain to require discussion.—
Marriage never essentially changed the
character or habits of any mortal in the
world. True, indeed, it sometimes ex
erts a powerful influence, but never, or
rarely, works a revolution. Now the
girl is crazy, and a fit subject for the in
sane hospital, who will marry a brute of a
man—-or a man addicted to any evil hah
it, of whatever nature —thinking to
mould him into a being of another spe
cies. Why! whore is the husbund who
was ever influenced by his wife, even to
leave off the use of tobacco? Much less
can her silken cords draw him away from
the rum-hogshead.
Then to marry a gambler, a spend
thrift, a libertine, and expect to reform
him—o, that is downright madness!—
The thing never was done, nover will he.
P. S. Obed makes this point, among
others: “Female influence is generally
more powerful with tho lover than the
husband; and therefore if a lady is fa
vorably disposed to a gentleman from tho
noble and generous motive of reforming
him, sho should make tho effort while he
is only a lover.— Social Monitor.
Do not Touch It.
Mr. Van Wagner, the reformed black
smith from Poughkeepsie, illustrates the
deceptive influence of Alcohol by the fol
lowing fable. A rattlesnake had got
into the fire, so that it was in a fairway
of being burnt up. i
“ Please take mo out,” said the snake
to a man who chanced to pass by.
“Ah no,” was the reply, “if I take
you out, you’ll bite me.”
“No I won’t” said tho snake.
Tho man, after some difficulty, got
hold #f it, and placed it out of danger.
“Now look out 1” continued the snake,
putting itself in a position to spring,—
“ I’m going to bite you!”
“Yes,” said the inauin surprise, “but .
you promised me you wouldn’t.”
“ But don’t you know it is my nature 1
to bito I quoth his snakeship—and so it ;
is with Alcohol. He will make all sorts
affair promises, but it is his nature to
bile, and ten to one but all who touch
him will find it out,to their sorrow.”— N.
Y. Organ.
A Clincher.
“ Docs not Mr. N., our neighbor, be
long to the church ?” asked a youth of me
one evening, as sat musing upon a seat in
the Temperance Hall. “I hear him
praying often, and particular on the Sab
bath day. Our yard joins his, and I hear
him praying for the conversion ofsinners,
and that Got! would prosper every means
for the prosperity and happiness of the
whole world.” “ Yes, my little fellow,”
said I, “he belongs to the church, and I
suppose is a good man.” “Well, then,”
says the boy, “ I want you to tell me how
he can be a Christian and sell hum, which
nearly took you off to the drunkards
grave, and many more Washingtonians,
who are now reformed. Does he wish
you all to go back to drinking, and does •
he want all of us boys to buy and drink 1
his rum as our fathers have done, and
thus perpetuate the'curses of his trade to
our last posterity? If that is religion, it l
[is a far different kind than we read in the ■;
i Bible, or hear at our Sunday schools, and I
.is just such a religion as I never want,
any how.” :
This was a “clincher.” I know my i
neighbor to be a member of the church, i
and a trafficker in rum but I did not know i
before that children were so sharp sight-1
ed, or capable of such powers of reason ‘
and reflection.
' \ 1 ...
A Powerful Speech.
“ Look at me now, you that knew me
three years ago,” saida reformed man,
•‘what was I then? a poor, miserable out
cast, deserted by all but my poor suffer
ingwife! What made me so? Rum!
But now, it is different—l am surround
ed by friends, I live respectably and com
fortably; my wife is happy ; and lam
happy. What has wrought this change?
The Pleihje ! Then will you not for
give iny zeal in persuading vou to sign
it?”
If ever the blush of shame mantled the
check ofany man, it ought one who would
assist in returning to his old courses, a
man who is trying to save himself from
“Out on such selfish
ness.”

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 i
State ? We desire to obtain the names of societies, number of members, (designa

♦Copied chiefly from the Penfield Temperance Banner,
A Signal Triumph.
At a temperance meeting recently, two
rum-sellers came forward and briefly ad
dressed the audience, remarking that they
had retailed liquor for five and eight
years, and now took the pledge of total
abstinence not merely from drinking hut
vending of rum—for they should sell no
more. The wife of one of them also took
the Pledge, and it is said that the whole
scene was truly solemn and impressive.
The immense assembly gave them three
cheers, and it is to he hoped such an ex
ample will be followed by many others.
[Organ.
Where do gamblers, thieves, and
worthless vagabonds of every grade and
color, spend their time? In the rum
shop, to be sure—and this fact alone
should keep men who desire to live ex
emplary lives, not only out of so degra
ding and useless a business, but from en
tering such places with a view of meeting
a friend, or to wile away an idle hour.
Keep out of the way of temptation

DEVOTED TO TEMPERANCE, AGRICULTURE
AND MISCELLANY i
PUBLISHER EVERY SATURDAY,

Thus far, the march of our cause is onward,
and in a tew years, it may reasonably be expected,

must take place, and that the greatest curse to
■ our country, will only be mentioned as among
the evils that were.
The subject of Temperance will be the promi
. nent object of the “ Washingtonian;” yet there
| will be room i'or the stirring events of the day,
and for other items of interest to the general read
er—as Agriculture, Science, a Prices Current of
the Market, Exchange Table, &c. Jn short, the
publisher wilt endeavor to make this paper what
it should be—an able advocate of Temperance,
and a useful Family Paper, strictly moral in its
bearing.
The “ Washingtonian” will be published

at the unprecedental low price of One Dollar
per annum, always in advance- -thus placing it

PROSPECTUS
or TUB
Southern Quarttrls lUbtrto.
TN commencing the fifth volume of this
publication, the Editor wishes to urge, with
earnestness its claims upon tile patronage and
support of the citizens of the South. Its circula
tion, always resjiectable but never large, requires
[to be, and, it is believed u»ay be uiueii extended
and the work be thus rendered a more efKcienl
organ in maintaining the rights and sustaining
the literary reputation oft ho Southern Slates
; l'he discontinuance of other periodicals, winch
[havedivided the public putionage, renders tin
present time a (irculiarly appropriate one lor pre
senting suelt consideration as will awaken a new
i interest in it, and tor making such efforts to ex
| tend its circulation as will place it on a permanent
basis.
It may be proper to state, briefly, the leading
objects which such a Periodical provisos to ac
complish, and also the reason, winch show tin
importance and necessity of sustaining one with
| energy, at the present time, at the South.
The general objects of such Periodicals an
(pretty well understood. They serve to embody
■ the opinions of enlightened minds on all great
questions in which the interests of the arts, sci
ences, letters and |>olitks are involved, at certain
periods in the history ot the country. Their aim
j is, not only to review books, and, in the spirit 01
(thorough and impartial criticism, to decide upon
their merits, hut also, in the pcrlormance of Hus
duty, to discuss important subjects in such a man
jiier as to make deep and permanent impressions
ujion the character of the-people and the desti
nies of the age : to diffuse knowledge not to los
ter prejudices : to create, direct and controul not
to echo opinions ; and finally, to canvass princi
ples and maintain truth in a calm and dignified
manner, and in a style chaste, luminous, nervous
and appropriate. The offspring of a high stall
ofcivilizition, they furnish evidence of intellectu
al advancement, and are the objects of a J list and
: honorable pride, regarded as the exponents of the
literary standing and character of communities.
The importance of sustaining such a work at
■the South, with ability and effect, is equally obvi
lous. The South, like the .North, and the other,
sections of the Union, owes a duty to the age and
to the country in behalf of her literature. She
requires an able and heightened Periodical, that
| is lilted to nourish, and call into active exercise,
the literary talent of our Southern Common
wealths. But, more thau tins, our institutions
are peculiar, and require a distinct organ through
which they may be defended with power and
spirit, when assailed, as they olten are, by other
sections of the American Confederacy. This
aggressive conduct on the part of our countrymen,
so prejudicial to the general harmony, requires
to he met and repelled by argument, first, and by
action, if necessary, atterwards. The South is
an agricultural country, and her position is differ
ent troin that of other sections more particularly
devoted to commerce and manufactures. Her
views of her peculiar interests should be known,
and require to be maintained and defended with
ability, through some such channel.

citizens in its behalf.

Each number to contain between forty and > fifty
. pages, anil be embellished with tne following fine
steel and copperplate engravings, viz :
1 Portrait of Washington at 10, by Peale,

10 Battle of the Brandywine,
1 11 Portrait of Washington by Stewart,
• 12 Encampment at Valley Forge,
1 13 Battle at Germantown,
L 14 Fac simile of Washington’s bandwriting.
The portraits were copied from the original
paintings. The {dans, sketches, and other en-
L . graving*, have been compiled from the best draw-
P ing, as well English and French as American.
Special aid was derived from a series of maiiu
,'script drawings in the possession ot General La
, Fayette, which are executed with scientific accu
racy and beauty.
The well known ability of the author, the abun
e dant means which he possessed, viz; more than
, two hundred folio volumes of original manuscript,
- purchased by Congress, ten vears researches m
f the public olficesin London, Paris, Washingtoii.

materials, original and important in their charm-

) uted essential aid in enabling him to execute with
: more accuracy anil completeness hisgpi&iu pur
pose, and thus to have compensated in some de
gree lor the tune aud labor they have cost. Its
. publication has not only involved extended and
• laborious researches on the part ofthe editor, hut
great pecuniary responsibilities on the part ofthe
publishers.
The price affixed to this work is less, when the
exertion is considered, than that of any other
publication in Europe or America. The invest I
men’ and exjirnilitures connected with this mi- j
dertaking are much greater than usually attend
such publication; and it will be ap|>arent that
the publishers must rely on an extensive sale lur
their remuneration.
The engravings alone, are thought by rainy lo
|be worth the cost ofthe whole work. To non
i subscribers the price will be enhanced.
Many testimonials of unqualified approbating
i might be added, from gentlemen who have exam
lined the work ; but the publishers conceive it to I
i be unnecessary.
Letters have i»cen received from many distin
guished persons concurring in the opinion, th.it
the work is in every respect worthy the public
patronage.
