DRINK OR LET TT ALoNE.

How often do we hear men say when as
ked to sign the Pledge, that they " can drink
or let it alone" and they are not going to
g sign away their liberty" A writer says he
used to be one of that kind. He was do
ing good business, and be began to feel in
his breast that liquor was injuring him both
in his business and in his health. One
morning he found himself going as usual for
his accustomed dram. 81 will not drink
this morning!'' said he, but it required a
tremendous effort to get it out. However,
he managed to turn back, and 60 to the shop
without the dram.
L have perfect control over myself y
said he g | can drink or let it alone !" and
he hung up his coat-but he had hardly got
done complimenting himself, ere he took ii
down again-put it on, and walked deliber.
ately back to the GROCERY, and drank down
his dram, with compound interest for the
time he had been kept out of it. Now, We
are inclined to think that this is the cast
with the most of those who say, they 4" car
drink or let it alone" 1t is strange tina
men will allow themselves to be deceived ii
this manner they can see others goin,
down to ruin, and even demonstrate witt
them on the danger they are in, when the,
themselves are travelling in the same road
and at speed perhaps, which will far oui
strip the others.
The only real safety is in total abstinenc
-ifyou drink glass month this year, tie
to one but you will want one fortnigf
next-and so you will be led on doublin
the doses, until you will find yourselves
! manacles. If you are wise, cut it rigl

THE TRAVELLING CIRCUS.

When one Of those exhibitions which
travel under the name of "circus, dra-
matte, and comic amusements," appears
in village, the curiosity Of the children
is on tiptoe to see all that these wonder
workers can show; and parents are often
importuned 10 visit them, or at least to
allow the children to do so.
About year since, in B county,
there was such an exhibition. 1t was a
circus and some children went for the
first time in their lives to see circus.
A daughter from a respectable family
went, and returned home with enthusi-
astic admiration Of what she had seen.
Soon she began to practise similar feats;
and after about ten months, supposing
herself sufficiently accomplished 10 join
circus, she concerted plan to run
away and take with her three other chill
dren, and pursue journey on foot to ST.
Louis. This company of four children,
all under fifteen years, were soon over
taken by stranger, who offered them to
ride. They represented themselves as
orphan children going to their former
home; and by the aid of this stranger
were enabled to travel about fifteen miles
before night came on, when they took
lodgings at public house, and retired 70
rest. In the meantime their friends were
greatly alarmed by their absence, and
sentmessengers in every direction for the
lost children. They were found at the
public-house, and borne back to their an.
xious parents, who learned that thi:
daughter had determined to pursue heI
journey the next morning with one o.
the oldest children and leave the two
youngest to return home, if they could
and that she had with her money which
she had taken from the purse of the
family, TO bear her expenses to st. Louis
Will not parents be warned by sucf
facts TO be firm and uny ielding in saying
"No; my children, you cannot go to the
circus"

DRAMMING.-Whatsight is there more
melancholy than that Of a young man,
respectable and honest lowering around
a rum.shop door, eagerly looking every
way to see that no one who knows him
has an eye towards him, and then pop
ping in to imbibe a dram preparatory to
his noon or evening meals9 The worst
presage of evil for him may be drawn
from this first step. But slight draught
upon the Imagination will give to view
his whole subsequent life through its va
rious stages, ending in the confirmed
sot. We live in a neighborhood where
one of these shops is allowed to flourish,
and are daily shocked with cases like the
above, where the young and promising
are courting the tempter; where their
future character is receiving its i'm
press in school of vice, to make its
mark upon the society in which they
will moye-upon their children-upon
acquaintance and friends. 1t promises
poorly for them, and we wish they could
become aware of the danger before it be
too late.-Boston Pathfinder.

Woman sphere l-what is It? Is it not to
instill in the minds of the young those pure
principles of virtue and integrity that lead
them on in the paths Of rectitude and honor,
and by her precept and example, seek to
root out of society this terrible vice, that is
sending thousands Of our proudest sons tc
inevitable ruin Is it not to implant in the
tender hearts of the young, seed that will
fgerminate, and spring forth in deeds of love

rer general appeared moved, but con-
quering his emotions, he said
"Take away this good woman, and
take care that no harm comes TO her. !

He was mistaken; the poor woman

CAROLINA FEMALE COLLEGE. The
first session of this institution will COM
mence on Monday, the 9Th day of JAM
uary next. The following are the names
of the faculty:-- @
Rev. A B. Smith, President, and Pro-
fessor of Mental and Moral Science.
Charles H. Judson, A. NJ, Professor
of Ancient and Modern Languages.
VIM. K. Blake, A. NJ, Professor Of
Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
Miss Warren, Female Assistant and
Teacher of the French Language.
Karle w. Petersilia, Prof of Music.
Col. George D. Boggan, Steward.
The location of the College, both as it
regards health and beauty, will bear a
favorable comparison with any Institu-
ton of the kind in the country tits sit
uated on the stage road leading from
Cheraw to Salisbury, ten miles above
Wadesborough, near Tyson's Mineral
Spring-a place of resort for several
years by persons in quest of health.-
The place, naturally beautiful, is being
made more so by the erection Of several
I fine residences. More buildings are
about to be erected: so that there car
be no doubt but the neighborhood of the
College will soon become one of the mos
desirable places in the range of ou
knowledge, as well on account of health
as for facilities for education, and for re
fined and elegant society.-.4rguS.
