We very seldor, ask young lady TO
sign the temperance pledge, but she will
give as her answer, 'Of what use is il
for me 10 sign the pledge? should not
influence any one,' and, of course, it is
of no use for lady to sign, unless it is
to influence some one else. But | in-
tend to relate short story that will show
that the ladies' have very grea: infu-
ence over many of their own sex.
Anna Carlton was The adopted daugh
ter Of rich and eccentric old gentleman,
who resided 10 Philadelphia. Anna be-
ing very pretty and amable, won the
love and esteem Of all with whom she
associated. The gentlemen sought her
society because she was intelligent and
pretty - DE ladies', because She was
amiable and aftectionatc.
One evening, gentleman called in 10
pass social hour with her, and during
The visit, he slipped from her finger a
ring, which he begged permission to
keep. Her answer, at first, was No;
but, after moments reflection, she turn
ed and said, with smile, You may
keep it, if you will promise, in the name,
of the ring, TO obey all my commands. -
His answer was, oh, yes, with pleas

of gain until some weeks after, when
they met at large party. Towards
the close of the evening, this gentleman

procure a glass of wine. AS he placed
the glass to his lips, sweet voice whis

It was that had just spoken, but all around
him appeared to be engaged in CONVEX

er, he replaced his glass untasIed, and
turned to leave the room, for he felt al
most certain that il was Anna who had
spoken to him; and he could not but
feel little hurt that she should wish
him to refrain from taking a glass Of
wine. What her motive was, he could
not tell, for he thought he did not drink
too deep Of the wine cup. But, ere he
reached the door. he saw that Anna was
tching him, and he felt that il was
done from a good motive. His thoughts
turned TO himself, and he was led to ask
the question, And am so Far gone as
to need some one to check me? lie was
determined to know what it meant, and
going up 10 Anna, he asked her to prom

To live out natures laws.
Ye are striving all for temperance

And above the parting link
Where eating is connected;--
Garry out this good reform,
For people are infected
With food in many form!

And let the purifying

When a thousand torrents roar,
A shout of Alleluia

STATES PRIsoN-STARTLING FACTS!
When in The Penitentary last Sabbath,
addressing the convicls, we requested all
Of those who had been engaged in sell*
ing intoxicating liquors, to raise their
RICH; hands, more than one third raised
their hands. Yes, one hundred and fifty
liquor sellers in the Ohio States Prison!
Here is proof conclusive, that it is bu-
siness which destroys those who engage
in it, And it is rendered more striking
when it is remembered that man is re-
CURED to proUe good character before he
can sell liquor. Let liquor dealers take
warning, for the wages of sin is death
We nope this fact will be published
throughout the land, and every dealer in
the poison see the hand writing on the
wall, fixing his doom, ifhe persists in his
course.
'Wo unto him that giveth strong drink
to his neighbor, that puiteth the bottle to
him, was uttered by prophet of God,
more than two thousand years ago, and
this prediction is here most sgnally full
filled. Whatever iniquitous government
may do to sustain and vindcate this
abominable traffic, the seal Of con-
demnation is upon it, and man cannot
measure arms with the Almighty. For
one, we rejoice that the drunkard maker
has his portion with those whom he has
seduced and ruined. Three hundred
and one hundred and fifty
drunkard makers, in the Ohio Penitenti-
AIRY! There is still hope for the world.
These facts speak volumes for the val

shows that the power Of COINCIDENCE in this
matter is understood there, and relied
upon by good men for the overthrow Of
the evil
SLAVERY IN TENNESSEE. 'Will slave
ry ever be abolished in this Statee' said
/, one day, to poor minister, who
owned no slaves. Yes, said he.-'What
will abolish it!' 'CoNscIENcE.' 'How
soF why, erery mans conscience cOn>
dennis .. ami u universal conscience can
mol alaOoys be rssisled.' This poor min
lister had never seen an ant-slaverv pa
per. His Bible was nearly his whole
library. His Bible, his conscience, and
his God were his teachers. And had
they not taught him great truths ?-'Ev.
cry mans conscience condemns Slave
ry.' Conscience must abolish it, This
is the true faith on this subject, and it
e:rlSts at the South. Now add to his
faith, virtue, courageous virtus, as the
original means, )and to virtue, kno1clcdge,'
and then see how goodness, brolherly
kindness, and charity will follow on, and
sweep Slavery, like paganism, and idola-
try, all away, so that we can hardly tell
what has become of it,
II the conscience of this poor minister
is an enlightened conscience, and who
will dare say it is not what must be the
