I HAVE WO MOTHER WOW, I hoar the soft wind sighing, Through -every bush and tree ; Where now my dear mother is lying Away from love* and me. Tears from mine eyes are starting, And sorrow shades my brow; Oh, weary was our parting— I have no mother now! I see the pale rnoon shining On mother’s white head stone! The rose bush round it twining, Is here, like me—alone. And just like me arc weeping Those dew drops from the bough; Long time has she been sleeping — I have no mother now! My heart is ever lonely, My life is drear and sad; Tvvss her dear presence only , That made my spirit glad. From morning until even, Care rosts upon my brow ; She’s gone from me to Heaven, — I have no mother now ! Get Married. Young ladies you will never feel satisfi ed until yon do.

When will ye remember that the way to convince a husband of-his wrong and unkindness is not to scold, but to love—not to repulse, but to win ? A godly woman who lived 1500 years ago used to say that it’ the fists of the hus bands were rough, the tongues of their wives were sharp, and that she knew the truth of the proverb, that “a soft answer turneth away wrath.” Her method ot man agement and success in domestic life she described in these words: “When my lord and master scolds, I pray —when ho i- aLirry I forgive him, or give him kindly words—and thus I have not only calmed Ms anper, but it has come to this blessed isMie, that he has been eon verted anil is a Christian. — Sa/nhcamn on the Cottage. die Ccmpcnutce Cntsakr.

Prior to the meeting of the State Temperance Con j vi-nlion we were determined to move our paper to some point more accessible by Rail Road than this place, and had decided upon moving to Greencsboro, but since the Convention met vve have abandoned the idea for the present, to await the action of the “Committee on State Organ,” appointed at the Con vention. Our paper will then be continued at this place during the next year. The Christian Index will l e moved to Macon. We make this statement in answer to the many enquiries in regard to our moving. Domestic Strife. Alas! and is domestic strife, The sorest ill of human life, A thing so little to bo feared, As I>> he wantonly incurred ? So : uu the Poet near two centuries ago, and it is |as iru now as it was then. Though all admit read ily that domestic discord is one of the greatest of vP , yet few employ those preventatives which lie in tin- reach of all. Some regard it without any hope of o h : ; :Uion, and with a blind fatality resign them - Ives to a life-long endurance of sorrow and tribu lation. A thorough understanding of the nature of this evil, would do much towards its cure; earnest, f .ithful effort might destroy it altogether. Selfishnesses the prime source of all domestic strife.. A family is a State on a small scale. In the formation of a Government, persons must resign many of their individual rights, perhaps much of their interest to conserve the general good. So it is in -Ik- formation of a family; each member must giv: up some of his or her own tastes, feelings and prejudices, in order to preserve the peace and tran quilitv of the whole Without this it is very evident th ;t there can be no real happiness or enjoyment.— A young !o.dy, who has been brought up in affiucncc, end in the continu'd pursuit of frivolous pleasures, me rrii s a man of limited means, but of sterling vir tue and substantial worth. Now if each adheres ri gidly to his or her preconceived notions and preju dices, nothing but discord can ensue. Such mar ringctC or marriages where there is just as little con geniality of spirit exist, are of daily occurrence.— r S inolimcs the practical good sense of the parties, render such unions happy. Much more frequently however, they result quite to the contrary. I V sans are seldom aware what a great influence thing - we usually consider trifles exert upon our happiness or misery. A slight foible, obstinately persisted in, may render a character odious to all with whom be associates, ft is really these appa rent. trifles which go t- make u the sum total of our existence, and tend most to the formation of character. Groat events constitute but a small por- U-m of a man’s life, and great exploits are but a very small number of bis teal actions. If we observe closely, we will perceive that upon these apparent trifif-s domestic happiness depends. The great deeds by which a man’s reputation abroad is estab lished, are unknown or uncared for in the home cir ri' 1 . There, small acts of kindness and love render him the (barest of earth. Lips, which breathe nought but soft words, eyes always beaming with the light ol affection, are the charms which spread around the family hearthstone a perpetual joy. “If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out,” is the instruction of Divine revelation, anil a safer direc tion could n tbe given, to guide us in our course of life. If you have a habit ki which you have been wedded until it has become dear to you, become as apart of your nature, cut it off rather Ulan it should destroy your domestic peace. The pain it would cause yon would be but small, compared with the bitter anguish of heart you may prevent. Re sign every pleasure, give up ever}- indulgence which is likely to sow dissension in your family. 7 Many of these will be found Cos be vices, which you will be all the better of having lopped off; while an innocent enjoyment resigned from a pure motive will bring in return a rich harvest of happiness. These little habits which selfish persons are unwilling to give up, constitute the most prolific sources of do mestic strife. Every unhappy family in our coun try, (and their name is legion) might attest to this fact. _ There are several other causes which tend to de stroy domestic happiness. .Some people are natural scolds, and no greater torments could be invented for them, than to place them where the}’ could have no one to scold, and nothing of which to complain. Some are so unhappily constituted as never to be pleased, with any thing or any body. The more that is done for their gratification the more dissatisfied they become, and they enjoy a degree of melancho ly pleasure from the thought that no one cares any thing for them. And there are many other forms of disposition which affect social and domestic en joyment. But pure unmixed selfishness may be considered the Bourse of all these. They all arise from an undue regard for self without a care for the feel ings or convenience of others. Much, very much of the unhappiness foifnd in the families of onr country, arises from the custom of marrying for wealth. It is a practice originating in folly and leading more or less to the misery of all concerned. Persons enter upon it not as a serious, solemn business, upon which their happiness for time, perhaps for eternity, depends; but with all the cool calculating policy of a speculator endeavor ing to improve his capital. The eligibility of a match is judged pecuniarily, the qualities of the mind and hcait being neither inquired after or cared for.— What but domestic strife could be expected from such unions ‘i* Two clouds coming together in the heavens, charged with opposite electric fluids, pro duce the lightning’s Hash and the thunder’s roar.— So two natures brought together, between which there is no affinity, cannot exist without frequent and repeated concussions. Os all such matches quai reling, wrangling are necessary and inevitable con comitants. * Fashionable Drinking. There is no form of drinking so deleterious in its influence, as that practiced among the fashionable circles. The bacchanalian revels in a country grog shop or a city brothel may be more disgusting; but this feeling which they excite disarms them of all power to harm by example. They are too, advanced stages of a disease which was contracted elsewhere. Few men ever learn to drink in a grog-shop. Many of the men now lying in the lowest depths of degra dation, began their downward career in scenes far different from these. Perhaps it was in the brilliant ly lighted ball room, where music poured forth strains ol sweetest melody, and the whole being was wrapt in the wild enchantment of the scene. Then the tempter came, it may in woman’s fair form, and while her soft hand offered the sparkling wine, words of persuasion fell from her lips. The courage, which might withstand the greatest trials in “the world’s wide field of battle,” yields to woman’s pow er, and his truth, consistency and virtue, are gone, perhaps forever. Years pass and we again look up on the scene. But. oh ! what a change. That fail one, once robed in beauty, brilliant as if of another sphere, is now a sad, heart-broken sufferer. Faded and haggard, she awaits with tearful eyes and burst ing heart, the return of the once fond idol of her heart, but now a besotted wretch as unworthy of her love as the reptile which creeps the earth. Was .she not the author of her own misery? Did not her hand first give him the accursed diaught, while in her most bewitching accents she said, “drink and be merry?” She nourished the young tiger while his teeth could not destroy or his < laws harm ; but now it has become a monster that ieeds upon her warm life’s blood. When weak and feeble, she could have destroyed it with one stroke; but now she dares not raise a finger to resist. Ah ; it is a sad, a fatal mistake that fashionable drinking is in nocent and harmless. A more dangerous arid de ceptive falsehood, was never put forth by the Father of Lies. It is there that those seeds are sown which will certainly bring forth a prolific crop of degrada tion, misery and death. Wine is a mocker, and ex ecrable shape from the depths of Hell, come in what form he may. If you would be assured of living and dying a sober man, dr in l it not , eat it mt , touch it nos at all. * Maine Erect—Glorious Victory.- The results of the recent elections in the States of Maine and Vermont, though Rcpu lican, our North ern Temperance exchanges exult over them as very favorable to the Prohibitory law. They consider the re-establishment of the Law in Maine as a fixed fact. The Editor of the Journal, in remarking to a South ern Editor, said, “he could assure him that whatever they may do politically, they cast out rum. If Satan can cast out Satan surely it will he anew thing un der the sun, and if he were to travel in the North, he would, as a temperance man, bid God speed to all such elections.” In speaking of Maine he says: “The political party which overthrew the Maine law and re-established the license system, is com pletely routed, horse, foot, and dragoons, so that now we may, with an absolute certainty, calculate upon the re-establishment in the State of the Prohibit u*y law; with all the wisdom which past experience im parts. Finding candidates in the field for the offices of State which accorded fully with their views (* hich is now the right policy for any political party that would triumph,) temperance jnen of the State gave themselves to the work, and with an-energy and in dustry almost without parallel; and here are the re sults.’ Had the Republican party, which has so glo riously triumphed, ignored temperance, thev would in their State elcciion have found themselves, proba bly, in the vocative. Mr. Dow writes us, ‘The friends of the law are wild with joy.’ Let them thank God and take courage. Following wise coun cils, they may now place the Jaw on a basis from which it shall never be moved.” VERMONT. The late election in this State has resulted most favorably for the Prohibitory law. llte entire Sen ate and most of the House are of a Maine law stamp, and will, we are assured, yield in nothing to the claims of the liquor-dealer to riot on the ruins of the community. The Editor of the Standard proposes a State Convention at Montpelier, on the second week of the session of the Legislature; not for the transac tion of mere business, but for the revival ol fellow ship and intercourse between, and the encourage ment of hope arid effort among the friends of Tem perance, and to give the law-makers a look at a por tion of the cold water constituency, so numerous and respectable in the Green .Mountain State. A good suggestion for other States. “The Mayor of Ipswich, England, stated that drink was the cause of halfthe cases that came before him. He might have said nine-tenths, if there is any thing like the same ratio between crime and liquor that there is in the United States. We think some of our city Mayors might safely say ninty-ninc-hun dredtha. * Prohibition the End for which we should Strive. Hitherto the Temperance Reformation has nut sought to intrude it-elf upon public attention by os tentatious eclat, or present, itself to the people as a question of primary importance. Like the Gospel of peace and mercy, it has sought silently to infuse its leaven into the mass of society, until the whole be leavened. With moral suasion as its only wea pon, it has gone forth, a mere stripling in the cause of truth, and nobly battled with depraved appe tites and propensities. Looking back over its past, history, ‘we see many, gloYious effects of its work. — Much that makes our hearts glad. But while we re joice at what it has achieved, the future lies darkly aTieAd, and to that future we can but look with much anxiety. Can this agency which has been at work for several years past, finally accomplish a thorough reform? is a question in which every tuc friend of the cause must feel a deep interest We say it can not ; that it has already reached the highest point of efficacy which it can attain. There might be run ny reasons given for this opinion; but we dee n it an all sufficient one, that there are numerous classes whom moral suasion can never reach. It can never reach the fashionable wine drinkers. They deem the flask of brandy, or the bright gob let of wine, as an essential part of their state, and would be as loth to resign it as their equipage or liv ery. An article or pamphlet which set forth the evils of intemperance, or urged the claims of the cause as a field for philanthropic labor, would be thought too low-lived to claim their notice. But it is in per fect accordance with their ideas of refinement for them to drink until their brains are a'ldled, and their cheeks flushed, and their tongues as noisy and sense less as magpies. There are many of this class whom reason never affects, come in what form it may, and very few who heed its dictates when in opposition to their preconceived prejudices. If however a pro hibitory Law could be passed, a practice which was un’awful might cease to be fashionable, and this class might free the world from the curse of their influence. Another class whom moral suasion can never reach are the lovers of strong drink ; those in whom the appetite for it as a beverage has grown with then growth and strengthened with their strength, until it has acquired all ilie mastering power of habit. — This is a large class, and one deserving our deepest commissm ation. They behold before them the fear ful precipice to which they are rushing with more than rail-road speed, without the power to stop in their career. Vainly they struggle, make vows, and bind themselves by pledges, which like threads of burnt flax, are blown away by the slightest breath of temptation. Breach moral .suasion to these and what will it avail? They will readily admit all your reasoning. They will say that they wish to quit drinki.o-S —that they are perfectly conscience of be ing on the high road to ruin, and wish to stop. But they cannot. The destroyer has a strong hold up on them and their only refuge from a drunkard’s grave and a drunkard’s hell is a Prohibitory*Law. It were a vain hope to suppose that the ambitious demagogue, or political office seeker can be in the leastjlegree influenced by moral suasion. They re gard the License System as the safeguard of their rights and doggeries as their most efficient agents in carrying forward their schemes of oppression. In terest, to which the most sacred principles yield, urge them io uphold a system bv which (hev are benefit ted. They will therefore be utterly indiffer ent or deterruinately opposed to all efforts for the advancement of our cause whether by moral suasion or bv Law. list farthest removed of all tr mi the influence of this instrumentality are the Ilumseilers; those who grow rich upon a trade which is sapping the foun dations of society. To suppose that they will ever listen to the dictates of reason, and by it be turned from their soul destroying vocations, is to suppose a great change, in human nature. It is to suppose them to resign the objects of ambition, arid the claims of self interest to their sense ofdutv ; a sacri fice which few even of the purest and best of earth ever make. Besides many of them are so deeply sunk in the mires <>f degradation as to be insensible to a moral law. They have steeped their senses in the hellish fumes of their fluid, until all ideas of right and wrong have been destroyed. No pow. r but a rigorously enforced Prohibitory Law can re move their accursed tem meets from the earth, and break the fetters of their blinded victims. These are only the most prominent of a multitude of classes which might be named. But we dr cm them amply sufficient to prove the proposition with which we set out, that moral suasion unassisted can not work put a complete and radical refinm. If this bo admitted, then Prohibition is our only hope, and to this our every effort should tend. =;: An Old Institution Revived. In looking over the advertisements in one of our Montgomery exchanges yesterday, our eyes rested upon one headed u A School for Girls.” Not hav ing seen or heard of such an institution for many years past, we have all along been at a great loss to know how tin's class of our population learned to read and write. “ Schools for Young La dies’' 1 arc thick in all parts of the country, but this is the first one for girls that we have heard of in a lomr time.— Atlmita Intelligencer. We have been for some time equally perplexed to know what had become of those interesting little beings who once constituted a portion of our popu lation. It is certain they never make their appear ance in public. For they are “Young Ladies” as soon as they leave tiic Nursery. We have feared that like the warlike daughter of Jove, they would soon step forth full grown women ready armed and equip ped upon their first appearance hi the world. We are glad to hear that there are some hopes of a re action, and especially that School# are being erected for their instruction. * jjHp” We learn from the “Tine Witness” that a donation of Fifty Thousand dollars has been made to Oakland College, Miss. By such liberality as this, a man builds for himselfa monument more en during than busts of marble or mausoleums of brass. the present state of political excitement in our country there is no small difficulty in selecting matter suitable for the columns of a neutral journal- Almost every paper in the land is filled with vile slang which a decent man Would blush to use. We arc aware that our columns of selections are less in teresting than they might be; lint we do “the best our circumstances allows.” — A Characteristic Fight. —The Richmond Enquir er stole from the New York Herald an article and published it as editorial. The Herald copied the same article last Saturday giving the credit to the Enquirer, and pitches into the article in a most sav age manner This i6 a good illustration of the venally prostitu ted spirit which govens the Northern Press. They are so fanatically inimical to everything Southern , that they even oppose their own ideas of right when put forth from that monree. To what extreme of madness will not Bigotry lead men. * “Clever** People. There are few phrases of more frequent use than “clever fellow,” yet we have never been able to ar rive at its mennirig. Every body, uses it, and in re ferpnce to almost every body. Vet the “clever fel low” remsrins to us an incomprehensible myth. We know’ not what qualities of mind or heart, entitle a person to this distinctive epithet, if it be goodness, virtue or moral worth, die term is often greatly mis applied. If it be a 1 ! these combined, “clever fellows” would be much more rare than at present. We have not unfrequently heard the term applied toper sons who possessed not one element of cleverness according to pur understanding of the term. lienee we presumed that we did not apprehend its mean ing aright, or that, its signification was so extensaae, that two contradictory opinions might both be cor rect, And this we opine to be really the cas . It is a word of no settled meaning, but every one can approptiaic it to express his own peculiar notions. JVhen then a p. rson is recommended to oar acquain tance, as a “eloper fellow” we suppose it may mean something to him who says it, but nothing to us.— We must examine, and learn for ourselves whether or not he comes up to our ideas of cleverness. ‘I his every one mustJdo or be'subject to the grossest im positions. A recommendation which will afford man any real assistance, must be something more than the meaningless phrase, “a clever fellow.” The Author, “Richland,” in Jail. The inditer of the eandalons libel upon our lion. Grand Jury, which appeare 1 in the Augusta Consti tutionalist during Court week, had a “True Bill” fun ml against him by that Jury, for perjury, and he i- row in the county Jail on a charge of theft, await ing his trial for both crimes. He hears the name of Lucius Tarry , AV/ , and it is thought Mr. Torry • ill not escape the penitentiary. Whether public statement,', derogatory to the character of honorable men from such i source is entitled to credence, we leave the pubi c to judge. Correction. The article on “Dress,” •which appeared in our Olio l ist week, should have been credited to the “Kaleidoscope.” We would take the occasion to say that, this is an ably conducted journal, and emi nently worthy the patronage of Southern Ladies. “Old bachelors have been styled unproductive consumers; scissors with but one blade; bows with out fiddles; irregular substantives, aj ways in the sin gular number and objective case; unruly scholars, who, when told to conjugate, always-decline.” Vile slander, every word of it, and doubtless per petrated by some unhappily coupled swain who finds the “pepper of matrimony” rather too hot for him. If such be really the case, it is rather ungenerous to insist that others should place themselves in similar difficulties, and we presume he will alleviate his troubles but little by abusing those who will not take his advice. It is very natural for a man who is drunk to think others are, and quite as natural to wish them so. We suppose it the same way with troubh . In fact we know_ it is, when we hear a mar ried man persuading others to get married. Sym pathize with them we do from the very bottom of our heart; but imitate them here . If they find their lots disagreeable, we cannot help them, but would ad\ise them to close their pepper boxes —if they A Horrible Death. A letter in Fred. Douglas’s paper dated Sept. 17th from a Northern city, records the death of a Fugi tive since. It says: “We had a fearful slave case here a few days since. A slave man was closely packed in a box at - e box marked goods, and consigned to a friend at this place per Express When the box was opened, the poor wretch was found dead, his coun tenance horribly contorted, and his body drawn in fo a knot. It appeared upon examination, that the box bad no air holes. And this is philanthropy is it ? The Abolitionists of the North, in their unholy zeal for what they call freedom seern determined to rival the horrid cruel ties of the Spanish Slave trade. With the clandes ] tine insinuations of a fiendish nature, they rendered j the poor slave discontented with his lot of peace and j plenty, and led him off to a wretched death. This j is an example of what their policy is in every in- I stance. They arc actuated by no feeling of friend | ‘bin for the slave, or pity for his condition, but by j a blind, insane hatred, for their countrymen of the -same race. , -■ - —■ ■ Progress of Temperance.
