wives in this poor house with me, who have
been sent here by the intemperance of their hus-
bands; there are many hearts here broken with
anguish, and rendered desolate with sorrow :;
and often, in the still hour of night, have
heard deeep and convulsive sob and then the
mention OF a name dear 10 the heart of some of
my wretched companions.
Christian fathers and mothers have you fol.
lowed me through the pages of my short and
painful history2 What think you of the suffer-
tlngs of a drunkard's wife Oh could you
know of the many, many dark hours OF unut-
terable wretchedness which they are compelled
to pass. Could you feel. but for moment, the
pang OF keen and piercing anguish which fol.
lows them by night aud by day. Could you
look, but once, into their care-worn and desoIa;s
hearts-you would read there a more dreadful
picture of the evil effects Of intemperance than
my pen can draw. You would not you could
not hesitate to lend every lnauence you possess,
| in favor of the temperance cause. The very
| happiness and peace of your domestic fre-side
demands it of you. How do you know but
What these precious young immoTals, now
sporting upon your knee, may yet become the
wretched and deluded victims Of this insatiate
monster9 Your influence, and your. example.
will, in a greut measure, decide this question.
You must abide by the light which your own
fire may kindle.
IHcu duu uldIQcOS Ou are NOW III

dugencies; listen for moment TO one who was
once the gayest and happiest Of you all. Leon

sacred in this life, and all that is valuable in eter

and forever the intoxicating glass. Your hearts
are now light, and unaffected by the blighting.
wthering curse Of intemperance: so was mine.
Your prospects for many future years Of happi-
ness are now redolent with promise-so was
mine. The morning of your life is now bright
and unclouded so was mine All that is gay
in youthful hope-all that is bright in youthful
ina ginings. The world with
"Its sunny smiles and laughing Skies"
is now before you. And yet believe me, all
these prospects, so bright and so beautiful, can
not save you from dark and troubled destiny
like mine The world is cold and hollow
hearted world after all. You will often meet in

set before you ,he sparkling. inebriating glass.
If you would seal your character for this world,
and your destiny for eternity-drimk! dTinkt

dent Treasury-and that we will sustain TO the
extent of our ability the Executive in his efforts
to establish it.
Resolued, That we approve the plan OF hold-
ing a Convention in Raleigh, on the 9th OF Jan"
