rendered, that the unfortunate man commit

the cup Of devils to the lips of the reformed.

grace Of God will not save from the drunk

At the close of his remarks he called for

MODERATE DRINKERl

Ask that Keeling drunkard, as he staggers
through the streets of Raleigh, or falls in the
road on his way from the village or cross
roads grog shop, how this habit of intemper.
ance was formed and he will tell you that
IN youth, No. ones hopes and prospects were
brighter, more inviting than his. The flow
cry path of life, unencumbered by a single
obstruction, stretched out before him. I'm
suspiciously, like you, he drank of the fatal
bowl. The willy foe, in the accents Of
friendship, gained his favor, and has wound
itself around every fibre of his existence
Like the victim in the tortuous folds of the
Boa Constructor, it will crush him to death,
unless he speedily elude its grasp. He has
served out an apprenticeship in his profess
ion-fOr in this like in the various pursuits
of life, you have to serve an apprenticeship
before you can become an adept. Your
indentures are being made out. You have
commenced learning to be an Incorporate
man, in order that you may become a disci-
pie OF the Bacchanalian monster.
This TEMPERATE use, is the wolfin sheep's
clothing-it is the college in which every
drunkard that disturbs the peace of society
has graduated a proficient in i~ntemperance.
That mighty host of abandoned sots, who in
fest our land as did the locusts of Egypt.
were n like you, oh young man, MoDER-
ATE drinkers, They can look back upon
happy days when their prospects were as
brilliant as any you have now in view. But
alas! Moderate drinking has ruined them.
Should their fates not be warnings to 9TH
ers? Will you still continue, in view of all
these facts, the use of a single drop of Alec
hOl' endangering not only your W safety,
but leading hundreds and thousands of vour
fellow-beings, by your example and inAu-
ence, IN the certain paths ofruin? Has not
enough of Americas best blood been aIre adv
poured upon the alter of this Moloch, with.
more victims being got ready to stain its
ensanguined thresholds?
Stop, then, we conjure you, before Won.

A WORD OF


Our City is now thronged with strangers, of
all classes and shades of men, and extraordi-
nary temptations and facilities are afforded for
entrapping the unwary and for the indulgence
IN all manner Of dissipation and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
The fashionable, well furnished and gaily
thronged Restaurants where the ruby wine fash
es in the brightness Of the finely mirrored Bar
the Gamblers den, into which by the seductive
chance of gain, the unsuspecting are invited
the house whose gates take fast hold on
hel,"-are all open for the betrayal and ruin
OF those who visit them. And if perchance.
some may escape the proficiency which most
attain, it is not the fault of the workmen who
ply their willy tools, but perhaps the dullness
of the apprentice himself. 1t is a time that
calls aloud for the rigid enforcement of the
Law against all its v~ioIators, and when young
men, particularly, should be careful into whose
hands they may fall. There are pirates upon
the land as well as upon the high seas-there
are those ever in Christian Communities who
would scruple as little as the daring Buccaneer
IN the commission of deeds where booty is the
prize. Let all be upon their guard. Shun
the fascinating stranger, who by his smiles
would lure you to your ruin. Beware of the
wine-cup and the punch-bowl; of the dice-boS
and the faro-table. Leave not the smooth and
fair path of virtue for the thorny maze of volup.
tuOus pleasure. Be found only in such compa.
ny as you would be willing the eyes of pru.
dent father, a solicitous mothers care and 2
chaste and doting sisters affection should fol
low you, and all will be well.
We feel justified in making these admonito
ry remarks, from the fact that hitherto man,
who have not needed them during the Carni
raj of lndulgence which, is held amid the throne
and excitement of our Legislative seasons
have been made to weep almost tears of blood
on account of the sensualitIes into which the,
have been led. &" An ounce of preventive i
worth a pound of cure" Let the sad ~realitie,
ofthe past, be sufficient to warn for the future
Let a high moral sentiment pervade the com
munity-let citizens and strangers set their ia
ces against all and every species o amusemen,
and indulgence which is deleterious and i'm
moral-let the Police of the City do its dut,
in ferretting out and bringing to punishment
those who are v~iolaters of the laws of the LAND
and our moral atmosphere shall be as purt
and invigorating as the bracing North winds O
heaven.

BROTHER WHITES PROGRESS.

This gallant champion of our cause continues
to win fresh laurels and to gather large and val
liable accessions to our Order, wherever he has
lectured; for proof of which we call special at
tention to the Editors Correspondence, giving
detailed accounts of his unparalleled success
By way of summing up what he has accomplish
ed, we will state that at Plymouth IS were brot
into the Order; at Washington so; at New
bern 10 or 20; at Kinston 8; and at Tarboro'
a Division was formed, with IS of the most res
pectable and substantial citizens of the place,
and on the next night 8 more were added to the
number. We have not heard from him beyond
this latter point.

have declared that they will never import or
sell intoxicating liquors any more ; three of
our shop-keepers have come to a like con-
.clusion and l really believe, and it is the
opinion generally; of this community, that
if Bro. White could have remained with us
another day, there would not have been
more than two or three dealers in the ae-
cursed traffic left in this place and we feel
confident that the accessions to our Order
would have been beyond conception. And
as this is the main object of this communi-
cation, | will to the point at once. Cannot
Bro. Whites services be obtained for a
longer period than the first of January saw
for six months longer? I think it would be
one Of the best arrangements for the good of
our cause.-the cause Of all mankind. I
know the amount can be readily raised to
pay his salary. Bro. White regretted he
could not stay longer with us, but not more
so than our citizens did. We want him to
come amongst us again. A rich harvest
awaits him. Cannot such an arrangement
as l have mentioned be made, or some other
that the committee may devise? We want
Bro. White again ; and we pledge ourselves
to contribute literally, knowing that in the
end, we shall be the gamers, both as respects
our numbers, as well as in apecuniary point
Of view. IT..

tered what is notoriously true. What
ground, then, is there for che1ishino re-.
sentiment towards them5 Thus he was
led into a train of thought which com.
Pleteiy absorbed his mind. DURING that
day he abstained from the fayorite bev.
,erage. The succeeding night he found
himself unable TO sleep. His Imagination
set before him the terrific evils of a
'drunkard sdownward career. Hethoupht
OF ruined health and constitution-of :
wasted fortune, impoverished wife and
children, a character universally des.
Plsed by a community that once delight
ca TO DO him honor. The prospect also
OF a d~runkard's miserable end deatb

ing behind nought but an execrated
name and memory, stood like an accur.
e spirit in the presence of his forebo.
eng and condemning conscience, From
the contemplation he sank back az from
a ya~ning and bottomless abyss. In
ahe strength of high Heaven he firmly
resolved to begin from that moment =
new life. Next he acted in harmony
with his resolve. He not only abstained
tasting intoxicating drink, but scrupu-
dously avoided those resorts, haunts, a.
nusements and associates, which m;obt
tempt to a violation of his pledge. He
oiled up bus hours with useful engage.

Previous to Bro. Whites visit. we had
been gradually gaining strength at that
time, | hope we received an Impetus that
will carry US successfully over every obsta-
Gle, and shut up every breathing hole in the
community.
Bro. White lectured here three several
times. l cannot attempt to describe his
speecnes-they were masses of the most o..
empowering and convincing arguments I
ever listened to-cool and unrufied. except
when some big thought made him beautiful
ly sublime, or an occasion offered for his
whitening sarcasm or flashing wit then, SIR,
he was terrible! 1t does seem to me, that
# L were. conscious of coming under any Of
the heads which he 50 successfully maaled.
l would sneak out Of society altogether, OF
never go out, until some dark night ave
me an opportunity of going to the Temper

in the last Age that Bro. White would
be in that place on Wednesday the 18th
inst. Not knowing at what hour he
would lecture, We left home on Tuesday
morning, "a very windy, cloudy, damp
morning, that we might not be too late
