u TO TEETOTALERS.

BY an advertisement in another column, it
may be seen that our highly useful brother in
the, cause of total abstinence, JAMES E. w.
THOMPSON, proposes to rattle lot of furniture.
The articles, we are assured, are of the latest
fashions and best workmanship, and put down
at reasonable rates. Times are extremely
dull with him, and his only object in adopting
this mode Of sale, is to enable him to meet his
honorable engagements. Come up at once
friends of industry.

deavoring to injure this paper TO make room
for the "Bee," and other Of his hypocrtical
acts which have recently been brought to
light. Ourupon such temperance men!
We design this to be considered as vindica-
ting ourself, and the cause which we advocate,
against base attack, and not against the
"Bee" establishment. The junior members
of that establishment we believe to be honest,
industrious, and worthy citizens, deserving Of
success in their enterprise; and we are sorry,
after an acquaintance Of fifteen or twenty years,
that we cannot, from circumstances, entertain
the same opinion of the senior.

audience were peted with eggs, one or two ladies were
struck and others had their clothes soiled with their
contents Some said stones were also thrown. The

such an act should, if found out be held up to the
scorn and contempt of the vruous portion of the

THE MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK.

The New York Organ says: The great ga
thering in the Park on Monday evening, real
lied the most sanguine anticipations of its
friends and projectors. The numbers present
could not have been less than five thousand
and more orderly, and at the same time en-
thusiastic. .assemblage, never collected beneath
the starry canopy. A significant feature at
that meeting, was the dense throng Of the
working classes closely collected around the
speakers stand, great proportion of them
Irish laborers, and who appeared fully to ap-
preciate the deep interest they really have in
this great reform.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Leb-
beus Chapman, Alexander Welsh, William
E. Dodge, Abraham Often, Hon. S. F. Cary,
of Ohio, and Rev. G. w. Denison, of Boston;
men well known for their untiring industry in
the great movement of Total Abstinence
The exercises were enlivened by band of
music, and between the several addresses
songs were sung by Messrs. Warden, Macdo-
nough, Mckinney, and Powers.
A preamble and set of resolutions in favor
Of the license law as enacted by the last legis-
lature, and in favor of extending its provisions
to the city Of New York, were offered by Mr.
H. H. Denison, and carried unanimously.
On the whole, (says the Organ,) we antici-
pate that much good will result from this
meeting. A large number of signatures were
obtained to the pledge, and before the adjourn
ment it was announced that similar meeting
will be held on Monday evening next, last
Monday evening" in Tompkins square.

For the Washingtonian.

MEssRs. EDITORS: am happy to be able to
say, that the Star of Total Abstinence has
arisen in Washington county, and, like the
Star Of Bethlehem, is now guiding the wise
men of the east to an instrument of redeeming
nower. Its light shines most brilliantly on the
darkness Of intemperance in that portion of
our District. A Temperance meeting was
held on the evening of Sunday, the 31st of
August, in the neighborhood of Good Hope,
and ten signatures We're added 10 the pledge
1t was eloquently addressed by DR.. Joseph
Walsh, corresponding secretary Of Association
No. g. United Brothers of Temperance, and by
John l.. Maddox, president of the same asso-
citation. These gentlemen proved, TO the sa-
tisfaction OF numerous auditory, that alcohol
is the bane Of moral excellence; that it poi
sons society, and transforms "the noblest work
of God" into a loathsome wretch; also, that
the Temperance cause is cause in which all
are deeply interested, and that, on its success,
depend the happiness and prosperity of the
human race.
A Temperance meeting will be held at Good
Hope, Washington county, d. c., on the even
ing of Sunday, the 14th instant, at 8 o'clock,
and on that occasion several distinguished ad.
vocates of the cause will deliver addresses.
The public are respectfully invited to be pre-
sent at the meeting.
Come on, we topers in distress,
Ye drinkers through the wilderness,
Who still your liquors feel;
Do not forget your griefs and fears,
Nor wipe away the drumkard's tears,
But come onward to the hill. JL.

G-SHOP BEAUTIES

In my last gave you but very imperfect
sketch of some of these beauties, in the fate
of the poor shoemaker, who met with such
base ingratitude from the landlord at the
Horsehead." Could only group the whole
of my figures, and present them to your read
ers as they appeared to me, with the lights
and shades to relieve the most prominent, it
woulG present beautiful study to some one
who might possess the genius Of Tenier.
But l have to select few from the many
individuals that presented themselves, and
whose histories | became acquainted with
while resided in that once pleasant and hos
pitable village.
The next victim that will exhibit to your
view, was young and athletic son of Vulcan
a Woodworking man of very industrious habits.
His merry song in the morning, and his hearty
laugh at some joke among his customers, gave
life and animation to that monotony that pre-
walls in country places, and showed mind
unburdened with care. The cling of his anvil
announced to the farmers boy that his smithy
was open, for his horses to be shod or his
plough to be mended. Being man of a
humane and active disposition, he was ever
ready to oblige-he was the doctor both to
man and beast, and ever ready to lend his aid
when necessity required it. When disputes
arose among the villagers, he was selected as
the umpire or arbitrator in all cases, and his
decisions were cheerfully submitted to.
But, alas! he, too, was induced to try his
luck at the rattle; he won a silver watch
