TEMPERANCE BAMEII
A CTUATKD by a conscientious desire to further j
f\. the cause of Temperance, and experiencing |
great disadvantage in being too narrowly limited in ‘
space, by the smallness of out paper, for the publica
tion of Reform Argument? and Passionate Appeals,
we have determined to enlarge it to a more conve
nient and acceptable size. And being .conscious of
the fact that there are existing in the minds of a
large portion of the present readers of the Banner
and its former patrons, prejudices and difficulties j
which can never be removed so long as it retains the
name, we venture also to make a change in that par
ticular. It will henceforth l*e c.J’e-i, “THU TEM
PERANCE CRUSADER.’.’
This old pioneer of the Temperance cause is des
tined yet to chronicle the triumph of its principles.

poraries, laboring for the same great end with itself,
it “still lives,” and “waxing bolder as it grows older,”

W glv-0 us their influence in extending the usefulness

; Tbs Teacher’s Life —lt3 Ligiits and Shades.
Fust among the professions of the world,
! and second only to that of the ministry,
| ranks the teacher’s profession. And yet
scarcely any class of honest laborers are
more poorly paid ; or recc’ve lesagratitude
at the hands of those tor whom they labor.
The lawyer, the doctor, the farmer, the me
chanic, each has his trials through life, but
they receive a liberal recompense for their
toil, and how and then a grateful smile of
approbation darts athwart their pathway.
They breathe the pure air and enjoy health
oi mind and body; but the teacher wears
himself away, mentally and physically, so
that when he emerges from the school, he
is a mere walking shadow, and is shunned
because of his morose and melancholy hab
its. As our svmpat-ies aie drawn out to
wards those of our own sex who sacrifice
themselves at this shrine, we will select a.
sketch from among them.
Look at that delicate young form as she
moves gracefully through the family circle
- the idol of parents, brothers and sisters.
Site is the oldest daughter, and has just re
turned from College, where she has won for
her fair brow, laurels green and fresh from
the “Hill of Science.” % * # Another
scene finds her trunk all packed and fasten
ed on the familiar old family coach. Then
come tender embraces from tiny arms, hear
ty good-byes from sturdy youths, and a mo
ther’s blessmg on her first-born. The father
brushes a manly tear, hands the daughter
in, and drives away. . She has felt that she
must labor, and has gone forth, hoping to
find a field white unto the harvest.
She tries to feel herself at home in the
family where she boards; but, though they
are kind to her, yet, something’ is wanting
—a mother’s tenderness and a father’s care,
she finds not. She enters her school room,
probably some old dwelling which has been
forsaken on account of sickness, and which
looks as desolate as a flaunted castle. There,
huddled up in one corner, are her pupils,
who look at her with a vacant stare which
pierces her heart. But she takes one and
another by ‘he hand, appoints seats, lessons,
&e. All goes on quietly for a season But
her patrons grow prolific in directions con
cerning their children; such ns ••You mud
not whip little Janie, she’s always been so
delicate.” “John will have to have ihe rod
every day, or he will do no good.” “Sallie
has never been confined and must have more
liberties than other children.” The children
too come up with their messages: “Papa
said he didn’t want me to studv this.”—
•*Ma mma said that was too long a lesson for I
tne, and if 1 didn’t know it, you mus’nt keep
me in.” She prays for grace to do her du
ty. Finally she does whip John, and his fa
iter is offended. Someone else thinks she
is too indulgent. Her heart sickens, and
she begins to conclude she has mistaken her
calling. But then she hears of another
speaking approvingly, new life springs up
within her, and site redoubles her diligence
to give general satisfaction.
Pleasure trips and parties are planned by
the young people around, but she toils on.
She has no brother to take her, and many
of the young gentlemen around think it be
neath their dignity to act the part, of a bro
ther towards a .plain “school rrtarm.” Her
patrons too, seem to forget to say, “Here is
g sent in my carriage, let the childretf rest
a little, and come go with us, it will do you
good.” Her rest is at night on a pillow, all
bedewed with tears, as she, instead of sleep
ing, wresties in prayer for some wayward
pupil- But, this is rest indeed, of which the
giddy and the gay know nothing. Here
she obtains strength for the coming day, and
goes forward to battle with perverse human
nature. She probably thinks proper to
make some new arrangement in the school
room, or to- enforce, some old regulation;
but as she proceeds she espies across the
room some of her largest girls exchanging
significant glances, or making.mouths at her.;
She is ready to exclaim, “O how shall 1 ev
er teach while those who ought to aid me
by a good example, are so heartless as to
array themselves against me !” ‘T will lec
ture them, but no, that will only make them j
the more obstinate. I can only prrty for j
them. Father, forgive them, they know
not what they do.”
| She then tries to go on with her duties as
I though nothing had pierced her already lac
erated heart. * * * But now a seat is
vacant. A lam liar face is wanting. The
absent oqe is sick. The faithful “teacher
wends iier way to the sick chamber. The
physician, thinks the case a critical one. A
.dear pupil is on the coniines of the grave
and totally unprepared. Her parents, too.
are strangers to Christ. Here is a heavy
cross, but our heroine shrinks not. She
opens the Bible, and reads the plan bfsalva
tion, and points the dying girl to tne cross,
and l.iowing with those present she suppli
cates a rich throne of grace.
Simitar visits are made, the dying one is
enabled to trust in Jesus, and go its the
shores of time exhltingly. The humble in
strumeniajity of the teacher lias been bless
ed in the salvation of the. pupil. It is
enough. She grudges not the sleepless
hours >he has spent in prayer tor her charge.
Site returns'to her labors strong in faith, be
lieving that all Iter bread shall yet be gath
ered, though it be after many days. *
And thus as year after year she toils on,
1 the res# fades from her cheek. Her friends

entreat her to desist; but, “no; let me alone.
I love it: I must work in my vine
yard,” she replies; and work she will. * * *
But the time draws near when it shall be
said unto her, “It is enough, come up high
er.’ She calls her friends around her. —
“You think strange of me,” she says, vfor
spending my life thus. It is true 1 have
worn my life away, and received but little
pecuniary compensation, and less praise oi
men. But my life has been far mere happy
than you imagine. I have not unfrequently
had parents whisper grateful words in my
ear, such as, ‘My daughter has been so much
more obedient to me since she has been un
der vour care. You have saved my son
from ruin. God bless your efforts.’ The
world has not understood me, but open yon
der trunk and rend those letters !rom my
pupils; they understand me, and hundreds
of them will cluster around me in glory.—
Then what care I for what the world thinks
of me? Farewell, vain world ! Farewell,
friends! Welcome death! Precious Saviour!

Spare the Birds.
The swallows are the natural enemies of
the swarming insects, living almost entirely
upon them, taking their food upon the wing.
The common martin devours great quanti
ties of wasps, beetles, and goldsmiths. A
single bird will devour five thousand butter
flies in a week. The moiai of this is that
the husbandman should cultivate the society
of swallows and martins about his land and
buildings.
The sparrows and wrens feed upon the
crawling insects which lurk within the buds,
foliage, and flowers of plants. The wrens
are pugnacious, and a little box in k cherry
tree will soon be appropriated by them, and
they will drive away other birds that feed
upon the fruit, a hint that cherry growers
should remember this spring, and act upon.
The thrushes, blue birds, jays and crows
prey upon butterflies, grasshoppers, crick
ets, locusts, and the larger beetles. A sin
gle family of jays will consume 20,000 of
theq> in a season of three months.
The woodpeckers are armed with a stout,
long bill, to penetrate the wood of trees,
where the borers deposit their larvae. They
live almost entirely upon these worms.
For the insects which come abroad only
during the night, nature has provided a
check in the nocturnal barn owl, which take
their food upon the wing.
How wonderful is this provision of Prov
idence for the restraint of the depredators
that live upon the labors of man; and how
careful we should be not to dispute that ben
eficial law of compensation, by which all
things are preserved in their just relation
and proportion,

Modern lovers of the pipe seldom think
of the worthies to whom they are indebted

A Gem in the River,
A young mother, with tears of bereave
ment in her eyes, stood over the River of
Death, gazing wistfully into its black and
sluggish waters, as if she would fain rest her
gaze upon some object away down, down
in its fathomless depths. She gazed long
and wistlully, and the black waves roiled
sullenly, sluggishly onward.
And the mother laid her hands submis
sively on her bosom, and wept, and said,
*My gem ! my gem !’
And a celestial being, like an angel, stood
near the hidden door ot her heart, and whis
pered in a silvery voice, like music, *What
seekest (lion, mourning sister?’
‘Alas !’ said Hie mourner. ‘1 once, even
yesterday, wore a beautiful gem in my bo
som. To me it was invaluable—it was no
trivial gem, it was one that kings and mon
archs might well have been proud of. The
riches of the East could not have purchas-1
ed it from me. In an hour that was evil
and miserable, the gem dropped from my
bosom into the black night of this deep riv
er. As I saw it. floating away from.me
gently as the coming of an-eastern shadow,
I reached after it, but it was beyond my
grasp, and my gem—-my babe—smiled upon
me as it was riding on the waves further
and further from me. It began to sink, to
sink from my sight, and in a moment my
gem was gone —and gone forever !’ and she
turned sorrowfully away.
And the angel voice whispered again,
•Stay, sister, grieve not; look again into the
dark river.’
fShe looked as she was bid* and a cry of
rapturous joy burst from her lips. *'l hanks
to thee, Father ! J see mv gem floating in a
great black wave. O, may l not wear it in
my bosom again V
‘Stay, my sister, thou art deceived : what
thou seest in the river is not. thy gem, it is
the shadow of what was given thee in trust.
Look, sister, heavenward, and bid thy
mourning heart rejoice,’
She looked aloft and away up the dark
beclouded sky, she saw a single spot, clear
and blue, and in it a bright star was.gleam
ing, and in its silvery rays came down and
danced on the gloomy river, giving the
black wave a brightness, as if silvered
through and through: and away'down
many fathoms the bright reflection rested,
and this the mourner thought was her lost,
gem. She gazed silently upon the scene,
and the star from heaven was shining.
And the voice of the angel came again,
like unto the sweet song of many instru
ments of music, saying,
‘Sister, the gloomy waves thou seest,
though cold and dark, and terrible, roll
ceaselessly onward up to the great gate of
heaven, and thither they bore thy mourned
gem, which the good Father lent thee; the
waves have borne it back to him, and it.
blooms and shines forever near the throne,
like yon brightly beaming star/
The voice was hushed, and the sorrow
ing mother turned away with her eyes lift
ed from the earth and gloomy V river f and fix
ed them hopefully and wistfully on heaven.
And the bright star she saw, when tears
tilled her eyes mourning for the lost, yet
beams brightly, and it. shines on her little
baby’s grave.
Wine, Beer and Temperance.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of
persons, who profess to love temperance and
bate fanaticism, who have embraced the sil
ly idea that native wine and lager beer will
do much to diminish the use of distilled spir
its, and promote society. Multitudes of
young men in this city, unblushingly enter
lager beer saloons, and would have us be
lieve they are in no danger of becoming sots.
They brutalize and stuHfy themselves with
the filthy Dutch swill, until they pass the di
viding line between the human and the
beast, and don’t know it. Some intelligent
men have said, that the true wav to pro
mote temperance, is to encourage the use of
fermented liquors. To such we commend
the remarks ot the North British Review, a
paper which has never favored the temper
ance reform It says:
“It would not be too much to sav, that if
.all the drinking of fermented liquor could be
done a way, crime of every kind would fall
to a fourth of its present amount, and the
whole tone oi moral feeling in the lower or
ders might be indefinitely raised. Not on
ly does this v;ce produce all kinds of wan- -
ton mischief, but It also has a negative effect
of gre it importance. It .is the mightiest of
ah the forces that clog the progress of good.
It is in vain that every engine is set to work
that philanthropy can devise, when those
whom we seek to benefit are habitually
tampering with their faculties of reason and
Will—-shaking their brains with beer or in
flaming them with ardent spirits. The
struggle of the school. Hie library, and the I
church, all united against the beer-house and j
gm palace’, is hot one development of the j
war between heaven and heli. It is, in l
short, intoxication that fills our goals, ft is I
intoxication that fills our Lunatic Asylums,
and it is intoxication thait fills our work
houses with poor. Were it not tor this one
cause, pauperism would he nearly extin
guished in England. We are convinced
that if a statesman who heartily wished to
do the utmost possible good to his country, j
were thoughtfully to enquire which of the
topics ot the day deserved the most, intense
force of his attention—the sure reply which
would be exacted by full deliberation would
le. that he should study the means by which
this worst of plagues can be stayed. Sure
ly, such a question as this, enclosing with
in its limits ‘consequences so momentous,
ought, to he weighed with earnest thought
by all patriots.”
How “French Brandies’ 5 are Blade,
We have derived no little amusement
from the perusal of a circular issued to li
quor dealers throughout the country by a
firm in New York, in which the important
information is conveyed that they have been
for many years “trying to improve all kinds
of spirits from grain and turn them into a
good imitation of French cognac; and that,
after much labor and experiment, they have
at last found an article to answer that pur
pose.” They thus set forth the process of
manufactory: ‘\Bv distillation and chemical
operation we get at fourth-proof an article
in which the flavor is so much concentrated
that, by mixing a gallon of it with twenty
five or fifty gallons of American pure spirits,
it gives a good imitation of the different, im
ported brands.” One gallon of “an article”
to produce from twenty-five to fifty gallons
of imitation of the imported brands; to be
bottled, labelled, set forth, and swallowed at
one dime per pony glass, as an article “such !
as you cannot get elsewhere in town.” This j
article is called spirit of cognac, and, ac-’
cording to the circular, “may be had with-!
out color, or colored for paie or dark.”—
“Dark, by all means;” “I prefer pale,” “You
can take which you please, gentlemen; but
you are now aware of the manner in which
both are prepared.”
Ibis enterprising firm have also discover
ed an article which they call spirit of gin.—
They aver that a splendid imitation of Hol
land gui can be produced by mixing one
gallon of the spirits with forty gallons of pure
spirits. In addition, they have constantly
on hand a fiqe supply of “chemical color
ing,” by which the “dark” article of imita
tion brandy is produced.
The circular closes with a list of prices,
which, if published, would astonish our citi
zens. many of whom, wheu imbibing these
“imitation's,” which cost about sixty cents
per gallon, are informed that “that brandy
cost me $8 in New York.”
With this information in their possession
we should not wonder if henceforth there
was a decided decline of confidence among
brandy drinkers ns well ns among the imbi
bers of the less pretentious liquors, gin and
rum.

How Waives Cajole and Capture Wild
Horses. -
Wherever several of the large wolves as
sociate together for mischief, there is al
ways a numerous train of smaller ones to
follow in the rear, and .act as auxiliaries in
the work of destruction. Two large wolves
are sufficient to destroy the most powerful
horse, and seldom more than two ever be
gin the assault, although there may be a
score in the gang. It is no less curious than
amusing to witness this ingenious mode of
attack. It there is no snow, or but little on
the ground, two wolves approach in the
most playful and caressing manner, lying,
rolling, and frisking about, until the too* cre
dulous and unsuspecting victim is complete
ly put off his guard by curiosity and famil
iarity. During this time the gang, squat
ting on their hind quarters, look on at a dis
tance.
After some time spent in this way, the
two assailants separate, when one approach
es the horse’s head, the other his tail, with a
shyness and gunning peculiar to themselves.
At this stage of the attack, their frolicksome
approaches became very interesting—it is
in right good earnest; the former is a mere
decoy, the latter is the real assailant, and
keeping his eyes steadily fixed on the ham
strings or flanks of the horse. The critical
moment is then watched, and the attack is
simultaneous; both wolves spring at their

A young buck went to soe the danghto
of a Presbyterian elder lately, whose how
was near a mill. It being the spring oft
year, the waters made considerable ol
roar as they tumbled over the dam. Tl
modest young gentleman tapped lightly
the door at hist anu received noanswer.-
i Again and again he repeated his knoc
but still he was unheard. Mustering u
courage he proceeded to inflict some eeve’
thumps on the door, which brought tl
staid old gentleman out.
“I suppose,” said the youngster, wi
