of the soul. It tJudi Its way through all the varied walks of life, cam-ing many h smile, ai.d sometimes provoking a tear. It is nol insignificant and unim portant, unconnected with human happiness or hu man joy. None, then, should lightly estimate wit, or strive to depreciate it. It is often abused, often per verted. Hut like every thing else, “it’s abuse is no argument against it’s use.” * 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.” * Our Book Table.

The Ciceronian Society of Mercer Univer sity, will celebrate its 22nd Anniversary on Thurs dap, the 19th inst., on which occasion an address will be delivered by Mr. 11. D. McDaniel, a regular member of the Society. The public generally are respectfully invited to attend. the time of Oliver Cromwell, the magis trates in the north of Ep gland punished drunkards 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! Oxygenated Bitters wiil cure Dyspepsia and Asth ma.

Xisbet will deliver the annual Literary address before the graduating class of the Wesleyan Female College, at its approaching commencement. Mr. Russell Wood, of Jackson county, committed suicide- one day last week, by shooting himself through the head with a rifle. A project is on foot by the Quarterly Conference at JlaGrange to raise money sufficient to purchase the LaGrange Female College, with its laboratory, libraries, Sec., and present the same to the Georgia Conference of the M. E. Church. It is proposed to appoint five thousands agents in various portions of the State to solicit subscriptions for this object from those who may feel disposed to aid in the undertak ing. As we go to press information is brought us that a man by the name of Hand to the field where Lewis Allen was at work, in Henry county, on Wednesday evening last, and shot him, killing him on the spot. We have not heard the particulars of the difficult}’. Hand and Allen were brothers-in law. Hand lias not yet been arrested. —Griffin Union. At the meeting of the stockholders held in Athens on Tuesday morning, the following gentlemen were elected Directors of the Bank of Athens: Stevens Thomas, John M. Billups, John 11. New ton, Y. L. G.

The Subscription books of the Bank of Columbus were opened on the 2d inst., and $233,600 subscri bed by responsible men in a short time, and 25 per cent, of the subscription paid in gold. The capital stock of $250,000. We presume the balance will be readily taken, and that the Bank will be ready to do busines by the opening of the season. Hiram F. Sneed, a valued citizen of Chattahoochee county, died recently at his residence of Pneumonia. Lemuel W. Cade, also a citizen of Chattahoochee county, died at his residence on Monday, 2d inst. Hon. Hugh Lawson, an esteemed citizen, died at his residence in Houston county, Ga., on the 20th ult., after a lingering illness. Mr. L. was a member of the Senate in the last Georgia Legislature. Street Figlit. At Philadelphia, on Saturday evening, a street reecontre took place between General Small and Cap tain John Tyler, (son of the ex-President) between whom and the former gentleman a controversy has for sometime been going on in relation to the Briga dier Generalship of the second brigade. It appears they had sorai sharp words, then came to blows, and a pretty severe conflict ensued, in which Gen eral Small fell to the ground with considerable vio lence, and the Captain on top. Several friends fi nally interferred, and the combatants were parted. They subsequently had another collision, but beyond a few scratches, neither suffered anythings.rious. — Death of an Inebriate. The Americas Republican ofthe 28th ult., states: Mr. Spencer Roach, of Tallahassee, Fla., who came to this place a few months since, died from the effects 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 eral children behind, whom we presume knew noth ing of his whereabouts. His remains were decently interred on Monday last in the City Cemetery. May this event prove a warning to others. a ■i 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 American. - - Damage to the Cotton Crop. The late heavy rains in some portions of South Carolina have done much mischief. A high freshet in the Wateree river has destroyed the entire crop of many planters in Richland and Sumter districs, and it is too late in the season to replant cotton. — 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. —London Paper. jggF*Mr. Robert Cathcart, an esteemed and wor thy merchant of Columbia, S.

Green, —Dear Sir: In yc r note of this morning, you ask, “for an expression < f my opinion in regard to your medicine, called Oxygena ted Bitters.” It affords me pleasure to state, that from the experience 1 have had, in curing severe at tack of Dyspepsia in my own family, and from the wonderful effects which it has produced in other and more severe cases, arising in families of members of Congress with whom I am acquainted, I think it an invaluable medicine, and hope that such circulation will be given to it as will bring it within the reach of all who are afflicted with that distressing malady. Respectfully yours, S. FOOTE. Seth W. Fowle Sc Cos., 138 Washington Street, Boston, Proprietors. Sold by their agents every where 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.

Holloway’s Pills, invaluable to persons af flicted with diseases of the Liver and Stomach.—The virtue of these Pills, having been tested in alt parts of the civilized world, particularly by the citizens of the Union, renders it needless to expatiate upon their merits; the thousands who have derived bene fit from them in each and every one of the States, being sufficient to convince the most incredulous. All those who are afflicted with liver and bowel com plaints; indigestion, sick headaches, and dizziness, cannot make use ofa remedy so certain in its results as Holloway’s Pills; for determination of blood to the head their effect is equally positive. They are also an unfailing remedy for asthma, if used in con junction w’th Holloway’s Ointment, which n?ust be well rubbed into the chest night and morning. JT. A.
