PROFIT OF TEMPERANCE.

kw1rthy mechanic, who from the force of
his swa convictions, discontinued the use of
into: Siceating drinks a year ago, celebrated the
annsve. sary Of his freedom from bad habit,
by snvsing few friends to partake Off clam
chesyd,r. After due discussion of the savory
mess, ahe host opened his desk, and took out
drawer of money. He showed his guests
tina. thsre was more than one hundred dollars
in tae arawer, and informed them that these
wefs tie savings of his ''grog money" for the
yeas. Think of this young men, and remem-
Der THAI the regular savings of this sum with
its lawful interest, would insure handsome
independence, in old age for any of you.

EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS ON
TEMPERANCE,
by VIM. E. CLAIMING.

by VIM. E. CLAIMING.
WHIT is the great, essential, evil of intem-
pers:nctl phe reply is given, when | say,
thas incompetence is the voluntary extinction
ofrcus.1. The great evil is inward or spirit
uai.. She Incorporate man divests himself,
for Z t:ne, OF his rational and moral nature,
casts fir himself self-consciousness and self
colnmE.ad, brings on Phrenzy, and by repe-
tition q this insanity, prostrates more and
more EAs rational and moral powers. He sins
imnaedi lately and directly against the rational
nature: that divine principle, which distin-
guishea between truth and falsehood, between
right a3ld wrong action, which distinguishes
mas frsm the brute. This is the essence of
the$vieax what constitutes its peculiar guilt
an6:we, and what should particularly Impress
and avg AIKEN those who ale laboring for its
suppression. All the other evils of intemper-
anct. a.e light compared with this, and almost
all Hov: from this and it is right, it is to be
desireds that all other evils should be joined
wits aad follow this. 1t is to be desired,
when c: man lifts a suicidal arm against his
highest life, when he quenches reason and
conscience, That he and all others should re-
ceive s;1lem1, startling warning of the great
ness OF his quilt; that terrible outward ca
lan.itiess shosld bear witness to the inward
ruin which fe is working; that the hand wri-
ting of:judghent and wo on his countenance,
form, sd whole condition, should declare what
fearful thug it is for man. Gods rational
brute, Itas common for those who argue
ag1fins: nterlperance, to describe the bloated
counted ance.of the drunkard, now flushed and
now deadly pale. They describe his trem-
bling, palsie1 limbs. They describe his wa
ming prosperity, his poverty, his despair
They describe his desolate, cheerless home,
his col. heath, his scanty board, his heart
brokerswite, the squalidness of his children !;
and We groaa in spirit over the sad recital
But it IS right, that all this should be. 1t is
right, fiat he, who, forewarned, puts out the
! light OF understanding and conscience within
| him, who abandons his rank among Gods
rational creatures, and takes his place among
| bru9es.s should stand monument of wrath "a
mong fis fellows, should be teacher where
ever h9 is seen, teacher, in every look and
motion, of the awful guilt of destroying rea-
son. sNere we so constituted, that reason
could he extinguished, and the countenance
retain IT'S freshness, the form its grace, the
body is vigor, the outward conditionits pros
perisy, 2and 10 striking change be seen In our
homie, 30 far from being gamers, we should
4 lose seine testimonies of Gods parental care.
! His. care and goodness, as we'll as his justice,
are manifested in the fearful mark he has set
on the ,lrunkard. in the blight which falls on
all she !lrunkard's joys. These outward evils,
dresdftl as they seem, are but faint types OF
theSuia within. We should see in them God s
respecS to his own image in the soul, his pa
rental warnings against the crime of quench-
| inc thd intellectual and moral life.

BIT CHAs. SWAIN.

Time to me this truth hath taught,
Cts truth that's worth revealing,)
More offend from want of thought
Than from want of feeling
If advice we would convey,
There's time we should convey it;
If we've but word to say,
There's time in which to say it.
Oft unknowingly the tongue
Touches on chord so aching,
That word Or accent wrong,
Pains the heart almost to breaking
Many tear of wounded pride,
Many fault of human blindness,
Has been soothed or turned aside
BY quiet voice of kindness.
Many beautious flower decays,
Though we tend il eer so much
Something secret In it preys,
Which no human aid can touch;
So, In many a lovely breast
Lies some canker-grief concealed,
That if touched, is more oppressed
Left unto itself, is healedl

THE KILLING os OrR FRONTIER.

We give the following lester, and remarks by the editor of the Cherokee Advocate as an answer to the many inquiries made of us awhe,her these armed parties asshorzed by the aathoYifies of the Cherokee Na,ien to proceed in their violent coursef''
 It will thus appear that the Chief has protested against fur theF like proceedings.
 We will also mentioa, that those armed parties are unauthorized by laws 10 ride throughout the eoantry killing men upon suspicion or upon charges Of crime, bhout frtat; and the killing of Gam in Wachita Cove was an actof murder, and violation of jurisdiction. We Caution those coacerned for the futare to forbsar from repeti- ton of such acts. as the whole community is alive to their unlawfulness. and are determined 10 put them down. The greatest criminals are entitled 10 a trial, and there Is TO excuse Tor the killing of man when he can bv taken. We undeTs,and that Wash. Starr was killed unresistingIy and could have been taken if his murdefers had chosen 10 do it. 1T we are incorrect in this ststement NC will gladly correct error. We have unders' Sod that he was under no indictment. and was not fugitive from justice; at the time he was killed, he protested against the unlawful act peTpetrsted by an Eusa- thorized party.
 We make these remarks in no unfr;endly spirit to any of the parties, bat merely to make our dis. appreciation of such proceedings known, with a hope that stop will be put to them.
