The Philadelphia "Public Ledger" has not even
condescended to read Mr.. Green's statement in the
"Union," about the Mexican instruments, because
"this individual is not officer of the federal gov
ernment and, to our recollection, never has been;
and we know nothing of him, excepting his state
ment in the 'Union,' which, we are told, (for we
have not incurred the trouble Of reading IT'D throws
no light on the subject. The LEDGER" of course,
is unfortunate as to forget that Mr.. Green was,
for six MONTHS the charge in Mexico; that it was
first stated in his letters that the third nstament
had not been paid; tha his attention has been
directed to this subject as much, if not more than
any other individually that he has had access to the
best sources of information; that his explicit let
ter in the "Union" was richly worth the trouble
of reading; and that it has, no doubt disclosed the
truth about the non-payment of the Mexican drafts
as Mr.. Shannon is said to have confirmed its state
ment since his arrival in New York.

ElnZZa! for tiie Holly Springs
temperance Society.

Sure as fate the dead has come 10 life
and if we are Judge of symptoms, there i;
good deal of vigor yet left The meet
ing on Tuesday evening at the Pfesbyteri
an Church was numerou- ly attended, and
all present must have been delighted in
listening TO the able addresses Of Nessfs
ScRUGGs and CLAPP. All, in the least
acquainted with the abilities or these gentle
men, must feel assured that The cause in
which they appeared, was aoly advocated.
and that every plea in favor of using or sell
ling ardent spirits, met with the mos; with
eriug rebuke.
At the close oflhe meeting :he follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted
ReSoYred, That the Cause of the Tenn
perance reform calls for renewed exertion
un the the part of ALL the friends of human
Ity, virtue, and religion; and we pledge
ourselves to renewed diligence in promoting
Its interests.
a resolution was also Introduced provi-
ding for the regular monthly meeting, TO be
held on Sabbath evenings, a;erna ting ia
the different churches Of the place, which
was laid over until the next meeting, to be
held in the Methodist Church, on the third
Sabbath in Murch.
We trust the resolution will then be a
dopted. without any material alteration
There can be no more suitable time for :he
meeting ofa temperance society than the
Sabbath, and as the subject occupies ground
on which all can meet, the different demon
nations of christians will lose nothing by
suspending the exercises in their churches
once month, to unite all their oner gies in
the suppress On Of vice hat, more than any
other evil, retards the spread of vital reli-
gion. Let them adopt this cou sc, and
revival of religion will assu>edIy follow
such welltimed Efforts in the temperance
reformation; it never has failed TO be atten,
ded by the richest blessings OF Heaven, and
never will. The great advantage OF hold
ing temperance meetings on Sunday
night, and having service in no olher
church is, that numbers will attend, whom
the week will be prevented by business and
on Sabbath day By amuaements. found by
riding OF walking into the country. To
accomplish the designs OF the friends OF tenn
perance, they must, to some extent, sacri-
flee their inclinations, and adapt their time
and efforts to the time and inclination of
those TO be operated on. and that in this
country, is class worth making sacrifices
Tor.
At all events, we trust there will be no
more tagging by the friends of this noble
cause until every dfunkard shall be refor.
med, and the traffic in liquid fire forever
abandoned.

A WORD TO HE WISE.

Ye climbers up Parnassus hill,
And vo;aries of the nine,
A moment cea. e your harp to thrill,
Aad list these lines OF mine.
Pray do not turn away in scoTE,
Nor spurn my humble lay,
For tho I'm not Poet born,
Irhyme as well as they
I sit beneath Parnassus shade,
And pipe at leisu time,
l fear 10 mount the prancing jade,
Nor do love to climb.
Within some little shady nook,
while away the hours,
Sometimes I read pleasant book,
Or wreath my wildwood flowers.
Secure from heat, and dust, and toll,
calmly mark the race,
ana pity white robed nymphs who soil,
Their garments and their face.
Some limPing, hobbling, halting go,
They scorn The beaten track,
And in all kinds Of measures, show
They have rhyming mack.
Some toll to gain a deathless name,
And scale giddy height,
Forget they are mortal in their fame,
And shed banefm light.
Some rest content in rosy bow'rs,
They tune the lutte to please,
The sensual throng who waste the hours
In reVelry and ease.
Might such an humble one as I,
Advice presume to give,
To those who soar SO very high,
They seem in clouds to live.
I'd say, remember you are dust,
Your genius, learning all,
And gifts from God, sacred trust,
He'll for reckoning call.
1aIenis misused or unimproved-
My soul, the solemn thought,
When heaven and earth shall be removed.
And all, to judgement brought.
Shall those bright gifts, that bade YOU rise
Like angels toward heaven,
Thea drag you downward from the skies.
From thence forever driven?
Forbid it light, and love divine,
On gifted minds descend,
May every power Tor good combine,
And alto profit tend.
In ethics and religion too,
Beware how stand the scales.
When held aloof by such as you,
Mark well which side prevails. y
