From ’.he T\ mperance Standard. Profession aud Practice. There has been a great deal said on the subject of temperance, bur not enough done; for actions speak louder than words. There arc u great many temperance men who are not willing to sacrifice one dollar to promote the cause of temperance; either by subscribing and paying for a r.ewsj aper devoted to the cause, or by patronizing a temperance house of entertainment; but on the contra ry, some of them have advised poor men to keep public houses on tem perance principles, and also have ad vised them to put their fare below the grog tavern; whereas, they, must be aware tb<H ti, flpught to have more. Ig this this /$y to paifjionize a man,-,-to advise jtuuJko follow, a Im sint/ss to his certain loss? For the* truth of this assertion, I appeal to the different persons who have tried it. A man who advises his brother to engnge in an unprofitable business, so that he may profit thereby, must be a hypocrite; for it must be a poor cause indeed, that n man of pi inciple is not willing to sacrifice some inter est to support. But it appears pretty evident, that a great many temperance men advocate the cause through mercenary principles; and until they I'oine out and act fiom principle, not ir/.erest, then, and not till then, will the Ct,use flourish.— Come forward, then, like men that wish to do as you woo'd he done by ; patronize the tetnpervace landlord, so that he can make a Recent living and save a little, and I will guaran tee tint temperance and temperance houses will flourish; for I believe that a fcreat many tavern keepers would quit selling liquor, if they could be supported without. And every candid man must adiirit, that a pet son who buys no drink, can af ford to pay more for his other accommodations; therefore, they ought to be willing to give the tem perance man more for his fare than the price charged at the rum taverns. Unless some measures of this kind are resorted to soon, without doubt, most of the tempeiance houses in the country will be declined, as a great many have been already; for who wants to follow u business to be bro ken up in a few years ? Come out theo, again 1 say, ail you who do not like you pockets better than temper ance, add do something that will have infinitely more weight than so many fine speeches. Tlie way man) temperance men support temperance Editors, and tempeiance Landlords, reminds me of the old lady who lost het only horse. She was lamenting the loss verv much; several men were standing by, expressing their pity for her, but never offered any thing to make up her loss, when up stepped an off-handed Frenchman, and said, gentlemen, you all say you pity her, now I pity her to the amount of five dollars; now how much do you pity her ? This is the manner in which I want to sec temperance men support temperance houses, and temperance papers, not in that poor pitiful way in which it has mostly been done; just os if they were afraid they weie about to do some thing they were afraid tliny never would he paid lor. But men enga ged in s» laudable r.ydM:jcct as tem perance, when pursued from propel motives, ought not to grudge to sa crifice a little interest in the cause, us well as the poor unfortunate editors and landlords, who have sacrificed so much. Justice. I,ettrr from Gen. Cnrk>, of Va. A letter recently received by our Secretary from Gen. John H. Cocke, of Virginia, long the devoted Presi dent of the Union, remarks: •My interest in our glorious refor mation is unabated—and according ly, during my long journey to the West and South last winter, I v.as not inattentive to its progress. It is most gratifying to see how God, in his over ruling, Providence, is carry ing on the temperance reformation try means the most unforeseen. For example—in East Tennessee, the most remarkably excitable popula tion in the United States, and veiy near equally divided in the late Presidential contest, I found each party claiming the rneriisofthe re formation for its own side; knowing that if they could succeed in this pre tension, it would he no inconsidera ble addition to their politital capital. Four years ago dining the Harrison and Van Burnn contest, it was ad mitted on all hinds, that there was much increased drunkenness dining the canvass throughout this region. Lately, each ptirtv, stimulated by a more sharp sighted spirit of opposi tion, had the saga<ily to discover that a character for abstinence would materially promote its success.— Thus the very spirit of political paiti zanship was turned to good account. ‘I observe asp iking change in the drinking usages |tf the whole region through which passed—and this too, chiefly in tin upper classes ol society.’ Pum Selling tud Patriotism. It ought to make every lover of his country blush vvitlfshame to'see over a grog-shop the lAads of Washing ton, Jeftei son, and even the waier drinking son of thisoap-chnndler of Boston, afterwarrk a journeyman Printer, a niemberiof the Continen tal Congress, and <lf the committee that drew up that Immortal instru ment—the Declaration olTridopend ence—one who mark application to the Courts of EiiroAe to assist his countrymen in their Forious struggle for Liberty, and wiio rcpiesented this Republic at the lCoiirt of Ver sailles, and drew therig liming fiom the heavens, llenpinin Franklin, who arrived at all these distinctions through his temperance, industry, and economy, must hike his head ex posed over a grog-shop. — N. 0. Star of Temperance. y The lufa t Brother jot Alcohol. Another fiend, the second horn of him of hoofs and hi ms, and of course a brother of Alcohol, by the chemico- Mistetric aid of Professor Brunson of England, has just opened its eyes ul Withe world, and will soon enter upon its mission of death.among the children, end Christian nations of the earth. “It consists of a liquid simi lar to alcohol, in which the oxigen is by arsenic. It ignites the moment \t is exposed to the air. If any with it, like a glass or iron ghvHtj should he thrown upon the decks, or iilto the ports of a ship, it would ignite the moment the ves- i s<?l struck any hard substance ; the inflammable liquid instantly being in a blaze. The atmosphere at once becomes filled with clouds of white arsenic, by which a deadly poison is evolved him! inhaled. Being heaviei than, and insoluble in water, it could not be entittguished, and of comae, it becomes fatal to all within its in fluence.” It bids fair it i? said, to become one of the most powerful and destructive agencies ever em ployed in war. But destructive as it is, it can never vie with its elder born in the infliction of misery, ruin and death upon the human family. [Muss. Cataract. Will Answered. That was it noble answer which was given by a clergyman of our ac quaintance, When urged to drink wine at a vrddding. “What, Mr M.,” said oho of the guests, “don’t you drink wive at a irahlingt" — “No sir,” was the reply, “I will take a glass of Witter. ’ “Bat sir,” said the officious guest, “you recollect the advice of Paul to Timothy, to Make u little wine, for his often iu finaiiy.’ ” “/ have no infirmity," was the Rut. gentleman’s nolde re ply.

We know and feel that our literature is young aid hitherto hut t, o imitative. Nevertheless that very youth has its advantages, and we shall endeavour to give them full play, by encouiagimr Iresh and vigorous exhibitions of the mind of our own country. That this is pre-eminently the lam] of ordinal thought, our Patent office, our workshops, our fields and our rivers abundantly illustrate In . the t ine Arts, American genius has produced works of which any nation might be proud.
