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. *t iistK stood the test —passed through the ‘hitty fur nace,” and, like the “Hebrew children,” re-appeared cascorcked.

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 PENEIELD, GA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1856. UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA LIBRARY 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! Margurita, Rockingham 00., N. C. 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, .it mdWni - .

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. m i<|i 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 (’ TERMS: ADVANC ) JAMES TANARUS, Sum, V Pit 531 TER.

Good Creatures of God. This is the most miserable of all excufii for continuing in the use of alcoholic drin In the first place, we boldly assert that does not exist in all the works of creatio: la tiie tone and forcible language of the vei erable Dr. Muzzy, “Throughout the wicr spread kingdom of animal and vegetable ni Un e, not a particle of alcohol, in any fori or combination whatever has been found ; the effect of a single living process; but wises out of the decay, the dissolution, an the wreck of organized matter.” No ma possessed of good sense will now contei that alcohol is not the product of vegetab decomposition. So tar ffom alcoholic wir being a natural product, we defy ever ” ine bibber in the country to show us ts article in its native state. We fearlessly a -ert, that if the juice oi the grape was left 1 itseli, a far different article from wiue woui be found.
