PROSPECTUS
OF THE
TEMPERANCE CRUSADER.
[quondam]
TEMPERANCE BANNER.
4 CTUATED by a conscientious desire to further
f\ the cause of Temperance, and experiencing
great disadvantage in being too narrowly limited in
space, by the smallness of our paper, for the publica
tion of Reform Arguments 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
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 be called, “THE TEM
PERANCE CRUSADER.”
This old pioneer of the Temperance cause is des
tined yet to chronicle the triumph of its principles;
It has stood the test—passed through thp “fiery fur
nace,” and, like the “Hebrew children,’’ re-appeared
unscorched. It has survived the newspaper famine
which has caused, and is still causing many excel
lent journals and periodicals to sink, like “bright ex
halations in the evening,” to rise no more, and it has
even heralded the “death struggles of many contem
poraries, laboring for the same great end with itself.
It “still ’lives,” and “waxing bolder as it grows older,”
is now waging an eternal “Crusade ’ against the “In
fernal Liquor Traffic,” standing like the “High Priest”
of the Israelites, who stood between the people and
the plague that threatened destruction.
We entreat the friends of the Temperance Cause
to rive us their influence in extending the usefulness
us The paper. We intend presenting to the public a
sheet worthy of all attention and a liberal patronage;
for while it is strictly a Temperance Journal, we shall
endeavor to keep its readers posted on all the current
events throughout the country.

Penfield, Ghk, Dec. 8,1855.
From the Olive Branch.
The New Minister, and old Parish.
The subject of sending our new minister
abroad, was first agitated in the ladies sew
ing circle. Mrs. Broadway, and Mrs.
Cleaves, had observed for some time past
that a bronchial tendency was about devel
oping itself; although the reverend gentle
man himself insisted it was no more than a
heavy cold. But several prominent leaders
in the parish felt that it was not only a “fash
ionable movement” to send their clergyman
abroad, but that it evinced a generous self
sacrificing spirit, which would lay the foun
dation for a permanent debt of gratitude to
wards those who first advocated the mea
sure. Besides, they were a wealthy par
ish, and nobody need feel ihe contribution
which would be thus bestowed.
Unfortunately however, the Rev. Mr. Spi
cer had married a lady of his own parish,
who was not the most popular young wo
man among them. Again and again, had it
been the wonder of many how the man came
to make so unsuitable a choice—for her
great unfitness for the new labor lay in the
fact that she was poor. Now, the aristo
cratic ladies felt that it was rather a demean
ing circumstance that they had haggled with
their minister’s wife in former days about
the abatement of their children’s tuition and
sundry other little acts, by which their own
characters must have been fairly laid open
to the discerning eyes of her whom they all
acknowledged as discriminating and intelli
gent. Still,’ they were saved from doing
many gracious things at the marriage of
their pastor, as he declined renting a house,
preferring to board with his wife’s mother,
and thus by making one small family, that
mother would not be bereaved of her only
child; besides* a great saving would be
made, by being spared the outlay for fash
ionable furniture. The plainly well ar
ranged parlor of the widow Ciisby, better
suited the worthy divine,than the showy ex
terior which many of his parishioners exhib
ited in splendidly furnished drawingrooms;
for he felt it was in better keeping with his
circumstances, and until he had paid tor his
education, he thought he had no right to live
other than in a frugal manner. Still, it was
not just what many of the parishioners de
sired. They felt they had a man of uncom
mon talents, who could not be captivated
by externals, and yet they could not recon
cile it, how one of such acknowledged gifts
and graces, should be so indifferent to eve
rything but the most scrupulous neatness.—
He always received the most affluent with
a perfect disregard to their wealth, and in
his little plain study, consisting of a desk of
his own workmanship, covered with faded
baize, and a library which was so happily
chosen, that the standard works gave a com •
pleteness to the smallness of the numbers,
with one or two old fashioned chairs, which
had been rejuvenated, Mr. Spicer felt that,
he was a man whose business Was to set
bounds to worldliness, and by a perfect ex
ample, show* to many a more excellent way.
And from this small enclosure, such weighty
and all-inspiring thoughts had been sent
forth, as made him a marked man, a popu
lar man—a man, in one word of whom the
parish were getting decidedly proud.
Now this was just what suited the purse
proud members of this ancient parish. They
wanted a minister who could fill the pews
—they had long sought a person who would
be ‘p°P u lar’ and yet to most of them, it was
an unexplained wonder how one so meek
and rrtodest, yet so apparently i-egardless of
fear or favor, could make such a decided
impression. Every sabbath the church was
thronged with attentive worshippers, there
seemed a peculiar charm in the silvery
tones of the young man’s voice, a sort of
magic spell in his style, which won univer
sal admiration. Yet it was very evident he
was not understood, for after a most serious
discourse upon the folly of those people who
placed their attention upon the artificial and
showy exterior, followed by rather a severe
censure upon decoration of the person, Mrs.
Hautt upon coming out of the church, was
heard to propose that a subscription paper
should be circulated, to procure the pastor
a gown—‘for,’ said she, ‘he wouid look like
an angel, could we but give him some silken
wings’
This present was however negatived by
the reverend gentleman, as were most cost
ly outlays in the very beginning, lest his ex
ample should not be consistent.
On the whole, it was a strange parish—
every member was tully satisfied with their
choice—every month seemed to procure for
their pastor additional fame, he was so elo
quent, so learned, so practical, so genial, and
in fine altogether a model man and minister,
lie had now labored with them for more
than a year, and the people began to feel it
was proper they should make some signal
appropriation as an attestation of their ap
preciation of his valuable services. At the
sewing circle where we have introduced
some ot the most prominent members, it was
therefore proposed he should be sent abroad.
Let us hear something of the introduction of
the subject.
The President of the society remarked to
her sister a Directress, that she had long
been waiting for a favorable opportunity to
make the above proposition, and now taking
advantage of a pre-supposed case of illness,
we must insist upon our brother’s accept
ance.
‘La/ replied Mrs. Boothby, ‘he will be

glad enough to go—you needn't feel you’ve
got to waste many arguments about it. On
ly furnish the means, and anybody will trav
el, the best on ’em.’
‘And confess to any sickness you have a
mind to name/ replied the satirical Miss
Blair.
‘lf, I had been a leetie more considerate
in the case of our former good minister, I
think his life might have been prolonged,’
remarked Saily Sticknev, an old .personal
friend ot Dr. Fisk.
•Well, well, his death was our gain/quoth
Mrs. Gray—you see Dr. Fisk ought to have
taken himself off our hands years ago. He
stood in the way of our progress, and an old
man ought to know better than to preach in
these days—nobody cares for their pratlmg;
what if he did baptize all our children, and
gather in a full church :—I guess I could tell
some things about some of the members.—
But I won’t, would you Dolly Ann?’
‘Truth is stranger than fiction/ quoted
Miss Dolly Ann, ‘powei fully stranger/ and
she puckered her little mouth close togeth
er.
Mrs. Bellows here observed, ‘if I were to
tell all I know. I suspect some of our circle
in this room would sing small; but re “em
ber and not quote my whisper, Mrs. Broad
way.’
•And I have heard that our good Mr. Spi
cer is not quite so perfect as Aunt Anna
thinks him/ quoth Mrs. Jones.
‘Now don’t—did Mr. Bentley tell you
anything.’
‘No, I never heard him say a word against
the man/
‘Nor Deacon Harley, either?’
‘Well I do hate scandal, said Mrs. Jones,
and I won’t tell.’
‘But just breathe it to one sister—upon
my sacred honor, I will never divulge it to
any human being/
‘I hate to do so—no sister, you must find
it out some other way—l suppose the man
is well enough in his way.
‘But what is His way? Do tell—now you
shall tell me/
‘On condition then that you solemnly pro
mise never to repeat it even to your hus
band.’
The two ladies then seated themselves in
a distant corner, when Mrs. Jones began
her narration. ‘You know Sheriff Butters
is at present our Treasurer—well, he told
my husband’s brother, and his brother told
him, and my husband told me, so you see it
must be true, that the other day when he
went to pay the minister his quarter’s sala
ry that right in his presence he counted out
his board money to be paid to his mother-in
law, and then he carefully placed the rest in
a little drawer, remarking at the same time,
‘this is for my esteemed Triend Mrs. Bean.’
His wife never said a word, but the Sheriff
thought she blushed, and then her mother
called her, and she left the room, and did
not again appear. Now/ enquired Mrs.
Jones, T leave it to you, if it don’t look a lit
tle singular, that he should be owing this
money to a woman? I never am suspicious,
but I declare when facts come right before
me, I must judge—and I ask you to help ex
plain to me, why this debt was incurred?’
Mrs. Broadway looked thoughtful, and at
length suggested, ‘it might be a debt he con
tracted while he was getting his education.’
‘But that would not have been due to a
woman of course. No, no, I’m inclined to
think we may not know'all about our talent
ed young minister after all—he is terrible
smooth-faced you know.*
Mrs. Broadway was in the act of twiriing
a spool of cotton into inch pieces, when the
reverend gentleman entered the room, and
the conversation was interrupted.
It was noticeable how kindly all the ladies
enquired for Mrs. Spicer? ‘was she quite
well, and did she get home safely from their
late gathering, and they did all so regret
her inability to be present this afternoon/
while at the same time they secretly wished
her in the Red Sea—for had not these man
aging mothers beautiful daughters, whom
they would have delighted to call Mrs. Spi
cer ?
By and by, old Mrs. Bentley sidled up
against Mrs. Jones, and enquired of her
what private experience she had been rela
ting to Mrs. Broadway; adding, ‘now l am
a free mason too, and can keep a secret, so
you need not fear to entrust to me what you
have said/ and after a most rigid promise
•never to speak of it to any living soul/ she
narrated what she had said to Mrs. Broad
way.
Mrs. Bentley always felt that there was
no harm in telling her husband what she
had promised to keep secret, and so she
barely mentioned it, forgetting to tell him
not to circulate it, and he told it to Major
Sweet, and the Major to Captain Ray, and
before a week’s time, poor innocent parson
Spicer was looked upon with quite a suspi
cious eye. Still they had gone so far about
the movement to send him abroad, that
the paper for signatures was handed busily
around.
The proposed sum to bo raised was a
thousand dollars, and although a few lead
ino, members gave more than half that sum,
yet it lacked nearly two hundred to com
plete the amount, and this was immediately
added by those who proposed the plan. —
Those however who gave the smallest Stuns,
seemed most reluctant to do so ; not a few
addi.ng s many untimely remarks such as ‘they
should like to be sent abroad at others’ ex
pense, too’—when a man was paid a fair
salary they saw no reason why it should be
doubled to give him a fashionable tour’—
while the more pious lamented that this
would take away the present healthy condi
tion of the church, and not a few elderly
people fairly believed ‘flaxseed tea sweeten
ed with honey would remove hoarseness in
a much cheaper form.’
The following Sabbath, however, carried
out to church the largest congregation that
had ever been present since Spicer’s settle
ment. H s hoarseness had all vanished, and
in a ringing voice he announced his text
from the words, ‘Behold how great a mat
ter a little fire kindleth.’ Os course they all
anticipated a pungent discourse upon the
proper management of the tongue—but be
fore he had half finished his sermon, the Ma
jor gave a wink over to the Captain’s pew.
and Mrs. Broadway’s face was all crimson
ed, while Mrs. Jones rattled her fan as if a
thousand musquitoes besieged her. Old
Mrs. Berkely snapped her black eyes, and
whispered to Sally Slack, ‘thank Heaven. 1
ion’t take bis meanin°.’ Mrs Bellows said |
she admired practical sermons, but -he de
clared there was such a thing as being too
personal .’
Not a person went down the aisles of the
church that day alone, but the clergyman's
wife—they were in low whispers, each with
the other, and finally it was concluded to
let the rebuke pass unheeded—since as
Deacon Biy remarked,‘by making it a per
sonal affair, we shall thereby show our guilt.’
It was thought however aggrieved the
pastor might feel for what he had heard, it
would be all atoned for by the present and
a request to travel for the next six months.
Phe greater part of the week was devoted
to ascertaining who first propagated the
scandal; but this implicated so many who
•did not mean any harm/ ‘who only men
tioned what they had heard/ that it was
wisely concluded to drop the matter at once.
The letter was therefore sent, enclosing
a check for a thousand dollars, begging the
reverend gentlemans acceptance of the
same, thereby giving him leave of absence
for the next six months, and ended by a
•prayer for his restoration, with a happy so
journ abroad and a sale return to ihe devo
ted flock/ who severally appended their
names.to the note in behalf of themselves
and others, who were too numerous to add
their signatures.
Mr. Spicer we have said was a whole
man, consequently he was not to be bribed
or bought in this manner. He undei stood
his people, many thought, far better than
they understood themselves. After a few
days pre-meditation, he therefore returned
the following letter, addressed to those
whose generous contributions he begged
leave to decline, and as the communication
served so good a purpose we may as well
insert it for the benefit of others:
‘My Kind Friends and Parishioners—l
was greatly moved by the demonstration of
your benevolent regard toward me. which
you signified by letter on the 10th iiist.—
Now with all frankness I desire to reply
and state to you the reason why I must de
cline the free gift.
In the first place, my health does not re
quire me to thus absent myself from my pas
toral duties; and in the second place, I am
not willing to entrust my flock to the care
of another, while they are thus spiritually
diseased. Biethren and sisters, 1 have a
great work for you to do, and a faithful dis
charge of my duty prompts me to improve
its performance. A watch must be set to
the door of your lips, for scandal and gos
sip, and a lying spirit is among us. I will
implicate no one personally, but I will ask
for what purpose do we assemble together?
At a recent gathering of the sewing-circle,
I was animadverted upon both unjustly and
cruelly. Allow me to explain myself to the
ladies.
I weli recollect the circumstance of Sher
iff Butter’s payment of my salary, and ad
ding the remark respecting a part of the
money being appropriated to the payment
of Mrs. Bean. She is the lady with whom
I boarded during the last year of my stu
dies preparatory to the ministry, and sbe
generously allowed me time to liquidate
that debt. Is this any cause for ‘censure ?
yet I hear that a garbled statement is rife
in my parish, and that X am criminated as
if guilty of some over act. Who thus gave
publicity to such a statement, I leave for
you to ascertain : 1 can forgive the erring
transgressor, but I cannot leave a parish
who are periling their ideas of truth and
justice. No my duties are clearly at home,
and I must strive vet more mightily for
your deliverance from the power of the
adversary. I must present the doctrine of
regeneration as I have never yet done.-
Permit me, therefore, to return the cheek
you were pleased to send me, and to labor
among you in all sincerity for your spiritn
ral-good. * VVith great earnestness that the
truth may make von five, I can only add
the sincere wishes of your friend ami Pas
tor. Samuel Spice k.
‘Rather spicev, exclaimed Deacon Ray.’
‘Short and sweet,’ remarked another. Hor
ribly cutting and all true, every one felt
who did not speak. But was to be r!on° ?
Plainly they must amend, and although
no one pleaded guilty to the charges, yet
at the next sewing circle it was unanimous
ly voted, that reading by one of the mem
Should henceforth be observed, and
from that day to this, not another, word
of scandal was ever reported by this socie
ty-
The ladies of the sewing circle at their
next annual meeting, proposed that
Spicer should be elected President of their
society, and not a word of scandal was ev
er breathed respecting her; indeed, her for
mer crime poverty, seemed to be now over
looked, and some of the wealthiest ladies
were made to confess that as cultivated
minds and refined tastes were ften dis-
Cernabie in those who were forced to labor
as were found in gilded saloons and ele
gantly furnished drawing-rooms.
And now everybody minded their own
affairs, it was delightful to observe what a
happy society was formed. Now and then
when a member gave a slight proof that
they were not wholly delivered from the
power of the unruly member, a flushed
cheek would indicate the remembrance of
that truthful letter which their pastor sent
them, and the voice of scandal was hush
ed for in tear of the man, they bad come
to despise the sin.

The Wages of Needle women.
It was recently stated in a New York
journal that there were no loss than 20.000
dissolute women in that city. One great
cause of this fearful infirmity is the low
wages which are paid to the great body of
needlewomen, as well as to most classes
of females, except domestics. Imagine a
widow, wish two or three children, thrown
upon the world without, means, and com
pelled to make a living for herself and lit
tie ones : how can she do it *>y sewing ?
bow pay rent, purchase clothing, fuel and
food ? We are told that the coarser kinds
of garments, such as pantaloons and vests,
are now made at rates so low, that an in
dustrlons female, if she toil for ten hours a
lay tls rough out the yveek, even if ready at
the needle, cannot realize more than three
dollars. This sum would be scarcely suffi
dent to provide food arid clothing-for a sin

tle ones to take care of/ The almshouse,

sufficiently wide- in the country ; there
should be more avocations thrown open to
them. Those, for example who attend in
stores —and that is regarded as a higher
and more profitable line than most others —
find it exceedingly difficult to get along.—
To is is especially the case if they reside at
great distances frem the centers of trade,
and are compelled to pay omnibus hire; to
purchase one meal a day, ( i inner,) in ad

latter constitutes an import ant item, un

“Father is Drunk all the Time.”
Such was the expression.of a little child
who came to our door a few days ago, beg
ging for bread and clothing. “Father is
drunk ail the time.” Poor child ! what a
volume of misery and wo are expressed in
those six words.
Home, where comfort should have an a

Sleep.
There is no fact more clearly establish
ed in the physiology of man than this, that
the brain expands its energies and itself du
ring the hours of wakefulness, and that
these are recuperated during sleep; if the
recuperation does not equal the expendi
tures, the brain withers; this is insanity.
Thus it is, that in early English history
persona who were condemned to death, by
being prevented fro 41 sleeping, always di
ed raving maniacs : thus it is, also, that
those who are starved to death become in
sane ; the brain is not nourished, and they
cannot sleep. The practical inferences are
three: •

brain work, require most sice]).
2. That time “saved” from necessary
sleep is infallibly destructive to mind, bo
