Historical Narration.
The narratives oi History lie at the foundation of
every species of l iterature. Some of the physical
sciences might, be excepted, as they are ever demon
strated and abstract truths. The problems of Math
ematics—the principles of Mechanics—the facts of
Chemistry—and the laws of Astronomy, may be said
to be independent of history to some extent. These
great principles involving in their natural elements,
truths which are unchanging, have always been the
s-nne. The principles of the Mechanics of Arch
imides were true then, are true now, and will be true
centuries to conic, though no history should tell of
ihe\r discovery or use. Vet these physical sciences
though they contain abstract truths which are inde
pendent of narration, yet. they involve a species
of Literature which constitutes a (*>rtion of history.
1 he tracing of an abstract fact fro n its origin to its
1 developeinent—from its developcment to its results,
and from its results to the influence which it exerts
belongs to hist ry, and were it not for that we could
never know anything of the progress of physical
sciences.
The narratives of history constitute the basis of
Poetry; its themes metaphors, and imagery are all
drawn from the past. Its moving appeals—exciting
incidents, and daring prophecies, are all obtained
horn former records. The present unassisted, could
not .supply its polish, metres, and elegant version,
out it must go back and gather up material from the
records of antiquity, from which it is to construct its
excellency, Milton’s Paradise lost—the “Illiad and
Dyssey of Ilomer”—the “Aeneads of Virgil,” and
“Gerusallemme Liberata” of “Tasso,” stand as illus
trations of the fact’
Historical narration teaches important lessons of
instruction, fts lesson is the transitory nature of
all things earthly. Cities and nations have sprung
up, and flourished and faded from existence. Satyrs
dance upon the walls of Babylon, and Palmyra the
dwelling place ofZenobia, is extinct. Where is
Nineveh, the “exceeding” great city of three days
journey ?” “Persepolis,” “Ecbaetana,” “Thebes ?”
“lchabod” is written upon their sites!
Our fathers find their graves in our short memo
ries and sadly tell us how we may be buried in our
successors; the empty Sarcophagus of the Great Al
exander, is a mere curiosity in a Museum, and av
arice has consumed the “Egyptian mumies.” Such
history teaches, and it might be called the “Head
Stone” of the grave of the Past.
The narratives of history lie at the foundation of
Theology. The truth of religion depends upon the
k authenticity of historical revelation. It is of greater
consequence to inquire whether the books of the
“New Testament” are sound and genuine than to in
quire whether they ai'G inspired. Writings upon
the Archaeology of the evidences of Christianity af
ford us proof, that the truth of religion depends
upon its authenticity, ft is universally admitted,
that historical evidence is necessary in corroborating
ihe revelations of God, and if the dogmatisms of the
iutidel could disprove this authenticity, they would
then have succeeded in overthrowing the sublime
structure of Christianity. Let the historical evidence
of revelation be taken away, and the bulwark of re
ligion will be removed and man submerged in dark
ness and polytheism. Invalidate the testimony and
it will weaken the hopes of the “moral world.” But
history throws its entrenchments of truth about re
ligion, and these as outer walls, like the Courts of
the “Holy Temple,” protect the area from the spoli
ations of error and heathenism.
‘Through the narratives of history flow streams
from which tire inquiring mind may drink waters of
pure intellectual delight. The mind as it passes
through its labyrinths, is like a spectator wandering
through a gothic abby of the middle ages. Now he
stops at the chapel of a King—here pauses before the
tomb of a hero—and there bends at the monument
of a poet, and while musing upon the buried greatness
around, he is led outward, and hies away to the
battle field of liberty, around which cluster holy re
membrances—he wanders over the spot consecra
ted by the biood of our fathers, where the host’s of
England aitd America first met in conflict—his
heart pulsates high as he passes over the plains of
“Bunker Hill” and “Saratoga,” lie follows the worn
and emaciated forms of our ancestors as they trudge
over the hills ofNew Jersey, with the blood gushing
from their frozen and lacerated feet—hese s the tears
of a Washington as they fall in sympathy, when he
acknowledges their sufferings—he sees that little
band ofsoldies when the sources of their revenue were
dried up and doubts and misgivings crept into the
bosom of the faithful and virtuous patriot, and his
heart in agony trembled over his hopes—when fancy
heard in the waiiings of the storm the dirge of
liberty, and following them on he sees that little
band gathering up the fragments of their wasted
courage and animated by the cheering morn
ing as the sun bursts in liquid light upon the
plains of Jersey, and led on by their beloved chief to
the perilous conflict upon which depended their for
tunes —he sees them in the “trying hour” and at last
hears the cry of “freedom” as it rises in swelling ac
cents from the bleeding plains of Trenton.

Who Become Drunkards.
“I never expect to become a drunkard; I only
take a glass now and then,” says the young man
who raises the poisonous draught to his lips. Mark
the course of that young man, if you please. He
continues to take his occasional potations. Soon they
become daily. Small they may be, but they are
regular for a time, then rapidly increase in their
frequency. Then the beauty of his countenance is
marred by fiery-colored lines and blotches, his hands
trimble, his nerves are unsteady, and we soon find
him the degraded sot, suffering all the hon ors of
delirium tremens. It is a fatal delusion that the
moderate drinker is in no danger. He stands at the
very verge of a precipice, where but a few steps will
plunge him into ruin. Men do not become confirm
ed inebriates at once. ibe formation of an appetite
before whose strength all else bows is very slow and
gradual Years may pass before its power is devel
oped, but it will then manifest itself in a form which
will resist all efforts for its restraint. Beware then,
young men how you raise the intoxicating cup to
your lips. The band which habit throws around
you* may seem but a thread <f gossamer, which a
breath of air would break, but it will soon income
more indissoluble than fetters of adamant. You
“never expect to be a drunkard.” The best way to
avoid it is never to run the risk of becoming one.
_Y ever take a drink. Avoid the grog shop as you
would the upas, which sends out its poisoned fumes
upon the air. There is safety in this course. You
may feel assured that if you “touch not, taste not,
handle not, the unclean thing,” you will live and die
sober men. *
To Contributors.
The article of “Lona” is filed for publication.
The Speech forwarded us by friends in Burke has
been duly received. It is rather leug thy to publish
entire, hut we will endeavor to make some extracts
from it.
We are daily encouraged as we see passing through
the columns of every class of papers, paragraphs
Which Set forth the interest which the Ladies are
taking in the subject of Temperance. The cir
cumstances may be small in themselves, but “straws
serve to show which way the wind blows,” and we
regard these as more certain angaries than the
-flight of birds. They have long known and felt the
interest which they have at stake in this reformation,
but they have been unconscious of the power which
they could exer . No v however they appear to be
fully aroused to a Sense of their duty, and with their
usual impulsive energy have thrown aw.iy the old
absurdity of moral suasion, and have gone t > work
in light good earnest. To them all talk about stop
ping men from drinking by moral suasion must ap
pear doubly absurd. Men who will think despite
the entreaties of a loving wife, and the suffering
cries of his famished children, are dead to any
such influence. But they’ are taking much more
decided measures. Here is an ace* unt of another
“anti-whiskey riot among the women,” as rum-lov
ing editors are pleased to term it:
Anti-whiskey Riot Among the Women at Vienna,
Indiana.—-A correspondent at Vienna, Indiana,
writes us that on Monday last a nu b of women made
an attack upon a small drinking establishment at
that place, smashed up the barrels, demijohns, ju.s
bottles, glasses, &e., <&c., aud after giving three
cheers upon the completion of their undertaking,
quietly dispersed. The women of Indiana and Illi
nois seem to enjoy very heartily these excursions
against “King Alcohol,” and evidently’ claim an ex
clusive right to indulge in mob violence at their
pleasure.
We take the following paragraph from the South
Carolina Temperance Standard :
Hurrah for the ladies. —Under this hea I, we
find the following extract from the Cheraw Gazette,
which clearly shows, that if the gentlemen are so
dead to the true interests of society as to permit such
worthless creatures as grogsellers the licensed privi
lege of praying upon the bodies and souls of those
who are willing to be ensnared by their infernal
meshes, that there is still enough patriotism amon
the ladies to “wait” upon such scoundrels anu apply
the remedy. We consider it a disgrace to the ster
ner sex, that they thus permit such nuisances to ex
ist until forbearance ceases to be a virtue, and wo
man in her week ness, must needs rise and banish
the abomination, to save her household from the
desolation of a scourge unparalleled in the annals of
history. Wc are not in favor of mob-law—but such
waiting upon, saves the necessity, as these glass rin
sers are not willing to lose much blood in defence of
their constiutional rights. Hurrah for the Ladies !
The ladies of Chesterfield village, on Saturday
evening, the 10th inst., incited thereto by the dele
terious effects produced upon sundry persons by
inbibing an exhilarating fluid, sometimes called laid
fare, waited upon the seller thereof in a body, and
emphatically informed him that he must and should
cease to deal out the liquid fire. They generously
offered to pay him for his stock, that they might
legally empty it on the ground. He preferred to
remove from the village, which they consented to,
provided he did so by that night, or they would wait
upon him again.”
Rightier says, “No man can either live piously,
or die righteously, without a wife.” Avery wicked
bachelor of our acquaintance says to this, “0, yes !
sufferings and severe trials purify and chasten the
heart.”
If this be true, some men we wot of ought to be
the best men now living, and should have their names
entered upon the catalogue of saints. The trials
through which they have passed have doubtless
been little less severe than the fiery furnace in which
the Hebrew children walked. We are disposed to
doubt the sanctifying influences of matrimony, and
would prefer entrusting our chance for sanctification
(which is very slight any way) to some less-equivo
cal agency. It is very common, as well as very nice
to speak of woman’s syren voice and engaging smile,
“which might well beguile even haughty Eblis of a
sigh.” This all sounds very smooth in verse, but
we always feared it contained less of truth than po
etry. An angry woman is to us the most frightful
thing in all nature, and we had rather march to the
cannons mouth or be cast in a den of lions than to
encounter one. A few such encounters would cer
tainly drive out all the littl; piety we possess. If
it should ever be our ill luck to be harnessed hyrne
neally with a woman of this stamp, we shall “hang
our har ton a willow tree,”or ourselves on a grape
vine, which sounds rather more sensible. Wc have
always attached a great deal of importance to that
discriminating remark of the father of Poets, “maids
are mays when they are maids, but the climate
changes when they are* wires.” *

the time of Oliver Cromwell, the magis

by making them carry what is called the “drunk
ard’s cloak.” This was a large barrel, with one
head out, and a hole in the other through which the
offender was made to put his head, while his hands
were drawn through two small holes, one at each
side. - With this he was compelled to march along
the public streets. What a strange sight it would
be were all the drunkards now-a-days compelled to
march about wearing barrels for cloaks!

Death of an Inebriate.
The Americas Republican ofthe 28th ult., states:
Mr. Spencer Roach, of Tallahassee, Fla., who came

of intemperance on last Sunday. We learn that a
few’ minutes before he died, he drank a quart of
spirituous liquors. lie is represented as being a man
of considerable property. Ho leaves a wife and sev

Duel Prevented in Columbus.
The Columbus Sun, of the 3d inst., says: For two
days past, various rumors have been circulated in
our city, of the presence of parties from Montgomery,
Ala., who had come over for the purpose of fighting
a duel. We learn that the names of the principles
are, H. Hudson and Lyman. About noon
yesterday, the Sheriff’ of Muscogee county arrested
Lyman, and the case was undergoing investigation
yesterday evening. So the hostile meeting is likely
to be “nipped in the bud” by the intervention of the
law.
A Railroad Between Cairo and Suez.
A letter from Alexandria states that the Viceroy
has given the necessary orders for the construction
of a mi way between Cairo and Suez, a distance of 84
miles. The rails arc to he taken from England, and
the Pasha’s own engineers, who are Frenchmen, .are
to carry out the works. In about three years from
this time it may be hoped that a railroad will run
quite across the country, and the transit of passen
gers, which now occupies more than two days of un
comfortable travelling, will l e reduced to ten or
twelve hours of easy conveyance. Another letter
says that the railway between Alexandria and Cairo
has been nearly completed, and, according to the
last advices, is about to be opened for passengers
and goods. The importance of this communication,
in superseding both the canal and the Nile passage,
and shortening the transit bet <fen the two cities to
about 10 hours, will be readily appreciated by every
person who has travelled across Egypt. —Baltimore

Condensed Egg.
A process has been devised by Messrs. Thurgar,
of the Albion Mills, Norwich for drying eggs, so that
they will keep good for any length of time. This is
effected by evaporation. The yolk and white of the
egg are exposed to a slow heat, and the moisture is
thus driven off. The whole is then reduced to pow
der and packed up in tins. The material is not ne
cessarily kept air-tight, but may lie freely exposed
to the air. The powder is used in the ordinary way
as eggs arc, being mixed with a little water and thus
an excellent substitute for milk on long voyages, be
sides capable of being used for all cooking purposes
in the same way as the fresh egg. The powder will
keep any length of time without fear of deterioration.

from the experience 1 have had, in curing severe at

Davis’ Pain Killer.
Read the Certificate of a Regular Practitioner.
This may certify that I have used Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer in numerous cases, and believe
it to be a very valuable medicine. I have prescribed
it extensively in bowel complaint, (particularly for
children,) and it is in my opinion superior to any
preparation I have ever used for the relief of those
diseases. When given to children, I have always
combined it with the syrup of gum arabic, say ten
drops to a tesspoonful of the syrup, well mixed.—
Others have mixed it with milk and molasses, equal
parts. A. Hunting, M. D.
Perry Davis’ Pain Killer , as an internal remedy,
has no equal. In cases of Cholic, Summer Com
plaint, Dyspepsia, Dysentery and Asthma, it will
cure in one night, by taking it internally, and bath
ing with it freely. It is the best Liniment in Ameri
ca. Its action is like magic, when externally ap
plied to bad sores, burns, scalds and sprains. For
the sock-headache and toothache, don’t fail to try it.
In short, it is a Pain Killer.

Having associated with him D. 11. Herron, in the
practice of Medicine, in its various branches, is now
more fully prepared to attend to chronic cases at a
distance, upon the satno liberal terms that he has
done for several years, namely : any person who be
ing afHioted with any form of disease, that will write
out their symptoms, and inclose .therewith five dol
lars, and send the same to our address, will receive in
return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for
one month. Many persons have been treated and
cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af
flicted; some of them living from 50 to over 100
miles, numbers of whom we have never seen, while
we have had the consolation of meeting others after
their convalescence.
The undersigned has been closely engaged in the
practice for more than 20 years, adhering strictly to
tiie use of sanative remedies which are used in the
Reformed Practice; having had much experience in
the treatment of female diseases peculiar to this cli
