know man not forty miles from Rich
mond, that was named as an example tor
the Young men of bis neighbourhood to
follow. At length his parents died, and
he became a moderate drinker. l was
with him frequently, and thought him a
steady young man. Wheu he was about
twenty:,hree years Of age, he married a
Young lady ofrespectable family, and con-
siderablel proPety; he, from the moderate
use of ardent spirit, became drunKed OF
the lower class, spent large estate, and
rendered his wife and children poor and
miserable. lido otthink his credit would
be good for a pint of rum, and all because
he was moderate drinker. Let me exhort
all persons who are moderate drinkers,
whether christians or not, to total absti-
nence, for no man ever intended at first to
be a drunkard. Ifyou think the above
worth place in the Star, you can insert
it over. II.
WuAT1s TEMPERANcE?-."Th moderate
use of all things" answer most people.
This mistake, however, has ruined thou
sands. Temperance is the proper use
Of all things.
A man who is in the habit Of getting,
drunk, had killed his hog and cleaned it,
but when he was done he was so drunk
that he could not cary it in his house and
cut it I'D. When he got little over lis
drunkness, he found a dog had eat all the
leaf fat from the hog. He swore he would
kill the dog, so he 60. his gun and waited
for the dog 10 come; at lentgh he heard a
noise in the brush that was on his green's;
he called his wife, aud swore he was COM
ing-he fired and killed very fine calf, the
only one he had. He died in great poverty.

draw her into conversation, says our trav-

circumstances respecting her..
"She was Greek, and. had been
brought to Palermo when girl. Her
mind had been destroyed by illness, and
after seven years madness, during which
time she had refused to raise from her bed
and had quite lost the use Of her limbs,
she was brought to this establishment by her
friends. Experiments were tried in vain
TO induce her to move from her painful
positon.-A. last the Baron determined
upon addressing, what he considered the
master-p passion IN all female bosoms. He
dressed himself in the gayest manner, and

Weeds.-Weeds exhaust the fertility OF
the soil as much as cultivated plants.
Though it may be too late to destroy the
seeds ofmany which have been permitted
to attain maturity, and the labour of doing
this will be amply rpeaid another season,
in the comparative cleanliness of our gar
dens and fields. 1t isparticularly the fault
Of the farmers to neglect their gardens
after midsummer, and to suffer them to be
overgrown by rank weeds, whose seeds
multiply hundred fold: A day or two
employed in the early part of the present
month, in collecting them from the garden
and fields, will be proftahy spent. They
may be thrown into the cow yard or on a
dung pile, where fermentation will generly
destroy their vitality before the dung is
carried to the field in the spring. They
had better be collected and burnt, than
suffered to spread their seeds over the
farm.-Cultirator.

ON BUILDING SMOKE HOUSES.

By sILAs CORNELL.
A Lover Of Good Bacon, in number ten
of the Genessee Farmer, wishes to knowthc
best method of smoking. He has well
suspected that his brick smoke-house is too
close, and his experiments in making holes
in the door were an aim at the right thing,
but the ventilation was by no means sui:
ficent. A brick smoke-house is not well
adapted 10 the purpose; many persons have
gone to an extra expense to erect such a
building, which finally does not answer the
purpose. Mine is formed with cellar 2
feet deep, walled with rough stones, and
the earth raised against the outside to the
top of the wall. On this stands building
6 feet square, boarded in the manner OF a
barn-boards set upright but not closely
iointed or battcned. This affords about the
proper vcntilation-the meat dries, and
smokes in fine order. The best article for
producing smoke is sound maple wood vel
seasoned; with this slow and constant
fire may be maintained, besides giving the
meat better flavor than most other wood

In Sullivan's Political Class Book
there is some very valuable remarks, in
the introduction (which we copy. MI
Sullivan is an able jurist, and his opinion.
are considered sound. He says" eve.
ry citizen, who has attained to the age o
t,centy-one years, is entitled to all the rights
Of citizenship, and is held to the perform
ance of all its duties. He must therefore be
presumed to knoU what these rights and
duties are. Every citizen Of State ia
also citizen of the United States. Be-
ing entitled to all the rights of national
citizenship, and held to the performance
Of all its duties, he must be presumed to
know what these are."
After giving the prominent features,
and the striking peculiarities of the Con-
stitutions Of the different States, Mr.. Sui.
livan says =" 1t will be noticed, that uni
vsrsal suffrage is allowed in nearly all the
States, the qualifications, citizenship ex.
cepted, being little more than nominal.-
Where constitutions have been revised
the right Of voting has been extended to
nearly all who are citizens. In Consti-
tutions recently formed, the right has been
made equally extensive, unless The case
Of Virginia be an exception. II there be
any persons who assert that the universal.
ity Of suffrage is the unsou nd part Of ouI
pdltical theory, they take on themselves to
show one oftwo things, namely, (i.) thai

bracing the equalization of Representa-

is gaining friends in Newport, and we are
assured by gentleman Of that place,
that they will send strong delegation to
the Convention to be holden al Provi-

should be. We have long wished to see
more interest excited in Newport, and
this cheering news comes in good time,
"A time when the party is reviving and
is marching onward with renewed vigor.
Such information as this cannot be other
wise than cheering to the Constitutional
Party throughout the State.

they would but read the address sent 'ou,
by the Convention, and other resolutions
en,anating from the same source, as well
as listen to the remarks Of our oppo.
nents, all would be well-the Consttu-

one, and in a very short time we shoult
have friends en- ough in the Legislature

Convention, for forming a written State
Constitution, based on sound Republican
