SHAKER SToEy.--Wc had a glimpse a
day or two since, of Shaker Bible--a
book not often allowed to be seen by "thc

Shaker establishment at Canterbury, \.

is the cause Of the presence OF these
parasites, or teeth destroyers. The
only persons whose mouths were found
entirely free from them, cleansed their
teeth four times day. using soap once.
All the common agents or detergenis,
tooth powders and tooth washes avail
not TO their destruction. They live
and thrive in the mids, of tobacco smoke
and tobacco juice. But the application
of pure white soap destroys them in
stantly. What will the llindoos say to
this discovery! The religion of some
of them, forbids them to eat anything
that has, or has had life. When the
fact Of living creatures residing about
the human teeth, is known in the East
Indies. we may believe that pure white
soap will be in great demand there, and
il is not Improbable that the demand
for it will be increased At home.

THE SECRET OF PROSPERITY

In the mirror we met with the fol-
lowing sentiment, which we very cor
daily endorse: -" Let our working
classes assure themselves that. after all
it is little or nothing that government
or society can do for them, compared
with what they can do for themselves
by their own industry, forc,hought and
manly self CONTROL" This is truth in a
nutshell--the true answer to the theo-
ries and speculations and social move
ments with which the present age is
rife. The success of the humblest op-
erative depends upon his own charac-
ter and exertions, as all experience has
proved. Many Of our most oppnlent
merchants are living testimonies to this
truth. The man who gives himself to
his yoca,ion-who to employ sacred
phraseology has "single eye" and can
not be diverted from his purpose ofper-
sonal advancement by the thousand and
one schemes which tempt him to rely
upon others for promotion or success
lie it is who summons every difficulty
and triumphs over all opposition. A
reputation for personal industry and
steadiness ofpurpose, for independence
and self reliance, is worth more thar
anthing else in this practical business

SPEECH OF THE HON. R. B. RHETT.
Delivered at HiberniaN Hall, IN the City
ofCheyIeSton. June 81, 1850.
[Continued from last week. ]


But hasten, fellow-citzens, to the last
test of liberty in country where the institu-
ton of slavery prevails--the protection and
security, the government affords. Is the
government of the United States, source
of confidence and security in the ma!nten-
ance of this institution; or is it on the con-
trary, cause of anxiety and fear. Fora
people to fear their government is proof OF
political slavery. 1t is inconceivable, that
free people, free to make, and free to change
their governments, should have any other
feeling towards it than affection and conf
dence. If they rule themselves, they must
fear themselves, to fear their government
Onlv those who are ruled, need fear their
rulers. And yet | appeal to every one OF
You this night, have you no fears OF the gov
ernment of the United States in its present
and future bearings on the institution OF
slavery! Look abroad throughout the world
and from what government and what people
do YOU apprehend intervention which must
fndanger this institution, looking TO its over
throw. You must aEswer--the govern
nent of the United States and the people
of the northern States. Instead of contrib
uting to your peace and security, they are
the grand agitators-the only agitators, who
restlessy and pertnaciously assail the in
stitution of slavery, aud do all they can do,
and dare do, to weaken and abolish it in the
South. Are you Free and do you rule your.
selves by the government OF the United
States, in securing to yourself protection and
peace, with respect to the institution ol
slavery. Was it ever intended by your IA
thers? Is yonr will that slavery should
be as 1t has been for years past, the one
great subject of agitation in Congress! Do
you pass those feso ut ons which are annually
on one pretext or another, sent TO you from
the Northern States, IN which you are de.
nounced ON account % thls institution, and
your right to h1d yoJf saves is questioned
