THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Ours may emphalically be called an age Of
theory. Few can be found who are not the ad
vocales OF theories, which have something good
in them An attachment to virtue has Ger
tainly been formed by the American communi-
ty, and that which looks towards the accom-
plishrnent of the real good Of the world, is po-
puar This itself constitutes a vast change
for the BETTER but il is TO be deplored that we are
yet lacking in one thing; we are not consistent:
our precepts TOO often are OF one bearing, and
our practices OF another. We say such and
such things are good; but we are slow TO apply
our energies for their promotion. We admit
that righteousness y will exalt US yet we
suffer too tamely the intrusions of evil.
These facts bear with peculiar force upon
the subject OF temperance 1t is, theoretically.
approved by vast majority OF our people.
Why then, is intemperance allowed still to ex
sl2 Are we not fully convinced OF its deplorable
effects upon US, individually and socially (?
Have we not learned from our own sad expert
ence, as a people, its deplorable consequences?
misery by il Has it not removed from our
families, their best aud dearest members2 Has
it not ravaged cilies, burnt villages, and made
desolate our hopes, and our enjoyments? Why
then is il permitted to abide among us ? Are
we at all in favor OF it or of the adminls,ra-
ton Of the agent of wo, Alcohol, which, more
than all else, produces it? The universe
answer is, lnlemperance has, indeed, beer
our worst enemy. And yet, look around
u.s. See the licensed houses, where ar
dent spirits are sold under sanction Of the law
said to emanale from US; and how else shall w
account for it, but by the inconsistency we al
low ourselves to be gully of? Now, we af
firm that though, to a considerable extent, thu
sons of Columbia's soil, are right in priucIps
they are wrong in practice. Our theories are
good, bui our actions evil We do not carry
out what we really do believe would benefit
our race. Shall such state of things con-
unue7 We say, no; and we are aiming to
bring the people to see that, if they Uiu they can
Danish intemperance 'front.' the land II is no
so much our work now to convince, as il is to
bring to bear in practice, what we have already
adopted in theory. Our appeal is 10 an out
ragged community of virtuous people; and we
ask them to come out boldly and openly in ia
vor of what they SO cheertuly and readily ap-
prove

CENTRIFUGAL WASHING MAcBIrE.--SIRs :
In your Journal of the 23d instant, noticed a
brlef account OF my washing machine, which
requires some little correction, as the public
should be properly informed upon all inven-
tons designed for general good. The wheels
are not propelled by steam from boiler as is
stated in that account; the practical use Of the
boIler IS to convey steam through \ pipe into
lhe axis, upon which the washing tub revolyes,
and from thence into the water TO keep il hot
y is propelled by the simple crank and manu-
al power, but may be so constructed as TO run
by steam or any other power. A full account
of this invention will be given in few days,
IN the mean time we shall continue 10 give evi-
dence OF It's great utility and superiority over
all other inventions Of the kind. We warrant
it perfect, and that ii cannot be beaten.

NEssRs. EDITORS Whenever "youne
bloods" are found resorting to the duello, in or
der to establish their reputation for bravery
to win the laurels of Fictitious chivalrv, il
is usual and proper TO record the event; OF
otherwise the great object, notoriely, would
be lost. Similar to this, | have to inform
you of lencontre which took place Yesterday
-somewhele in the country adjacent, be-
tween here and Alexandria, or, perhaps, IN
that ancient burg, so noted for hospitality
marrcls, and ,natrmsony. did not exactly as
certain the ground, but suffice it TO say, the
parties, or at least one, party, on their return
crossed the Long Bridge in an open barouche
about 6 O'Clock, p. m.
inferred from the appearance of the inter
esing quarto who occupied the vehicle, and
the approving smiles of the ladies', who turned
their beaming eyes upon them as they passed,
that there had been tournament somewhere
about, and that these were the champions
borne from the field OF glory, though perhaps
dying, not dishonored, SO much of high toned
honor spoke in their languld eyes.
These were speculalions OF mine, and as
the Yankee boys would say, "guess" ! was
pretty tolerably correct for, upon inquiry,
ascerained that these four 'smen in buckram, ,
knights of the sDelled head order, had met with
one Count Drinkingwhiskey, Polish noble
man of great renown, who had challenged
them 10 combat, that the gauntlet was accept
ed, and both sides having made the usua
vows, and invoked the great arbiter OF war t
defend the rightlul cause, the afray com
menced-and though the young knights dis
played great bravery, the long discipline o
at length prevailed, as usual over the heroism
Of the valorous squlres, two of whom were
carried from the field "bleedng at every pore,'
and their STEW surviving comrades" too much
disabled 10 continue the combat, were forced
to submit-while the old hero sounded the
loud tocsin of victory and defiance to all who
dare TO meet him in arms.
! hear 1t predicted, that Notwithstanding the
| sanSulnary defeat experienced by these gems
and the terrible name of the illustrious Count
that he will find plenty of the redoubted mem
bers of the above named order within the con
fines of the Metropolis, who will not fail tc
meet him in the deadly strife and measure Ian
ces with this powerful adversary.
Certainly they will receive God speed on
their way from all the great and good, and
when they return, whether in victory or defeat
the fur daughters of Columbia, happy, proud
in the noble bearing and valor OF their brothers
and of other glorious deeds, will meet them
with smiles of joy and bind upon their brow:
the laurel wreath, fresh culIed from the garden
Of their p,rcst affections. To this you will
surely subscribe amen. FAST.
