BY reference to the proceedings, which may
be found in another column, il will be seen
that the Temperance Union for the District Of
Columbia, has gone into successful operation
BY resolution.lhe District is to be divided inso
convenient districts, and mass meetings are to
be held in each, at such time and place as may
be appointed, under the direction Of the Union
They have determined to leave no part Of this
District without agitation upon this important
subject They extend an invitation to the
Ministers, and all others who have ability to
advocate this cause, to come forward, and
work work! work! And this work is to
commence by their first quarterly meeting on
the 4th of July. Let us see how many strong
hands and firm hearts will be there; let us
hear how many voices will unite, on that day,
to declare eternal enmiiy to the greatest tyrant
that has ever held rule over the mental, moral,
and physical powers of man.

among the number Of the truly opulent II we
live within them, and live contentedly. The
perpetual ambition to be thought greater than
we are, is source of contempt to those above
us, of derision to those below, and of continual
discomfort to ourselves. Nor can the mesh
thrown over our circumstances by the articles
of vanity long deceive one---except, perhaps,
few strangers, who are hardly worth decelving
Our means, as well as our characters, will
sooner or later become known, in spite of any
disguise with which we may attempt 10 invest,
them; and the detection in the use of the in
struments Of deception, only shows that what
ever other gifts we may have, we at least are
deficient in honesty. The really rich, then, are
not persons merely of large means, but per-
sous of large means relatively with the po-
sitions they desire to hold in society. A poor
duke would be rich artisan, simply because
in the latter case there are not the same demands
for large expenditure. The same relation
holds through all classes of society; SO that
man to become rich has only to descend from
the pedestal on which his pride has exalted
him, and conform to the usages of less ambi-
tious men. OF all things in this wide world
pride is the most expensive; and extraya-
giant habit acquired, subtracts a proportonate
quantity of wealth, and impovershes the per-
son who yields to it. Every man has the
secret of becoming rich who resolves to live
within his means; and independence is one Of
the most efectual safeguards of honesty.

The Flight of Captain Crabtrec.
BY HAwsER MARTGNGALE.

Captain Ebenezer Simcox was dapper little fellow
who had an exalted opinion OF his own merit and
good looks, and who took great pleasure in decorat-
ing his person, especially when about into the
company Of the ladies'. He was a littlo cholerc in
his temper, but smart as steel trap, and always on
shore looked as nice PIN or az il he had Just
been taken out Of bandbox marked, s',his side up

Captain Smcox once commanded the ship Spouter
oil Providence, on voyage to Copenhagen One
evening, at party, he formed acquaintance with
an odd looking German nohemau, who seemed quite
pleased with the conversation and bearing of the gem
tlemnnly Yankee. A few days afterwards, his friend,
the American Consul, put il his hand a note written
on embossed, gt-e paper, (not common in
those days as now,) and with armorial bearings on
the senl. "What is in the wind now7'' exclaimed
the Yankee, with look Of surprise, he drew off
his kid gloves and opened the note.

Geology of Vermont,

We have received copy Of the first annual re

recoIect that about year ago the Legislature OF tina,
State very wisely passed act authorizing the Gov

prosecute thorough Geological survey Of the State.
embracing therein full and scientific examination
and description Of its rocks soils, metals and minerals
During the past the leading object of the
State Geoogist has been TO ascertain the character
and limits Of the Geological formations, with their
mos, useful mineral contents, the foundation of all
the other objects OF the surveys and thus TO ascertain
what portions OF the State ost abound in mineral
wealth, and may be regarded mineral regions
Subordinate objects have been examine places sups
posed with more or less reason, to contain valuable
minerals and advise TO, dssuude from further
ploraton; and TO communicate information on tho
subjects Of geology aud mneraogy on all suitable
casions in public and private.
On looking over the report, find that Bro,ch

along the western border Of the Green mountains
Magnetic iron is wisely dispersed through large

able that will be found in any considerable quantity
but probably contains Silrer,a metal which in
tive state or in combination with supher, has not
been found in the State. Professor Adams also tells
us that there is no coal formation in Vermont; and
consequently all exploration for coal will be useless

Nothing could be pful than the appearance,
every now and then, of tho wounded deer dragging
themselves amid the bushes. All around the pavilion
this could be seen, the creatures sometimes writing
on their bellies and struggling in vain TO stand upon

England we shall never witness such scene of recl-
less, unmany massacre, that in field sports there
shall always be some farness-some chance for the
hunted, and toll and skill TO be undergone and

The shooting over, the attendants conveyed the
slaughtered deer upon species of litter from ali parts

row before i'll counted their number-forty -eighr

roe deer also shot.

Wei PILLS

ARE the cheapest and mostapproyed Fami-
ly Medicine ever offered to the public
They are extremely mild in their opera
ton, neither causing sickness of the sto-
mach, nor any unpleasant sensation in the
system, as is too frequently the case with
medicines given to act upon the bowels:
hence multtudes, who have been unable
TO take other pills or preparations Of me-
dicine, on account of their nauseaiing ef-
fects, use these pills without the slightest
disagreeable feelings.
By their manifest and sensible action
upon the chyle, which is the fountain head
of health or disease, they may justly be
considered Universal Medicine, and the
complaints that come most directly under
their influence, and for which they are so
particularly designed, are as follows
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspep-
STA, Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, En-
argement of the Spleen, Jaundice, Asth-
ma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Piles, Cholic,
Bowel and Summer Complaints, Female
DISTINCTIONS, Heartburn, Nausea, Furred
Tongue, Distension of the Stomach and
Bowels, Incipient DiarrhGa, Flatulence,
HabituaI Cosiiveness, Loss of Appetite.
Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in ali
cases of Torpor of the Bowels, where a
cathartic or aperient medicine is needed
AS many of the above enumerated dis
eases come on imperceptibly, and become
far advanced in their progress before il
is suspected that they exist in the system,
no one should expect, in such cases, to be
at once relieved entirely, but should CONT
nue. the use of she pills for considerable
length of time. Full directions accom-
pany each box, for the use Of the pills,
in all these complaints for which they are
recommended.

PILLS.

OF all the remedies ever discovered for
the safe, certain and effectual cure of the
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
none have more merited and received the
appreciation of the public than these Pills.
Upwards of eighty thousand boxes have
been sold, in only six States, within the
last twelve months, and over 10000 box
es of these have been sold 10 the State of
Alabama alone. The proprietor has ne
YER known a single instance where these
Pill shave failed when used strictly accord
ing to directions accompanying them One
box of these pills are generally sufficient
TO cure two common cases of ChilIs and
Fever
1t is not in the cure of Ague and Fe-
YER, or Chills and Fever alorc that these
Pills have acquired the immense populari-
ty, but it is also from their intrinsic merits
10 the cure of Fevers of every description
Yellow fever, bilious, scarlet, typhus, ner-
vous, and congestive Fevers, ali yield TO
the powerful virtues of this medicine
The accompanying directions viii explain
the mode of treating the various kinds of
fevers, and when this medicine is used in
breaking fever, the system IS not left
in such debilitated state as to require
two, three, or four weeks time before it
will be able TO gain strength enough for
the patient to attend to his business, as is
usually the case, by pursuing the common
purgatiye and deplelive course; but, on
the contrary, their efficacy is such as to
correct the stomach and liver, without pro-
duciDg any sensible effect upon the sys-
tenn; so that very soon after the fever
breaks, the patient is able 10 attend to his
business.
