TREATMENT TO EMPLOYEES.

Perhaps no symptom Of " blind philosophy"
is more thoroughly developed in our country
than wat of respect and kindness to those
in the employment of heads Of establishments
in the various departments, Of business.
If we look around and observe the course of
the " Alphas" who conduct the various busi-
nesses in the country, we win find that those who
exercise the greatest kindness towards those
employed by them have their interest better
subserved than the cross and selfish employer,
whose treatment to those engaged by him better
deserves the name of " contemplate tyranny -
than any other deserving epithet that can be
applied to it. ....

ART-UNIONs AND THEIR INFLUENCE

| To the Editors Of the American Telegraph,
GENTLEMEN: 1t is evident that +" Baltimore "
wishes to hear from me again, and / ought to
have fund of good humor sufficiently ample to
crafty him. He specializing in words about
which his mind is in delightful state of confu-
sion He has an aversion to rafting and throw
ing dice, but regards resort to the lot with an
| agreeable complacency-th the discussion de-
generates into logomachy. Last week the opinion
of our beloved Bishop was defensible because
Art Unions were injurious to society /; and in
this evenings paper, because they provide for
chance distribution of gains. The language of
the Bishop was unambiguous and decisive, but
it was thought by intelligent persons desirable
that he should not be allowed to fall into vul-
gar error, and that his views might be remod-
eed. If resort to the chance distribution or
the lot be not intrinsically immoral-and ina
gine enough has been said on that head-it must
be so on account of the objects to be accomplished
by adopting this instrumentality. The duty of
Baltimore" then, is eyident--he must demon
strate the immortality of encouraging the arts,
and satisfy US that the immortal works Of Ra-
phael Urbin, Michael Angelo, Sir Joshua and
Sir Benjamin West, are to be detested. The
feudal princes and bishops enjoying large reve-
nues patronise literally the productions OF
genius. The abolition of the right of primo
geniture-the distribution Of the largest estates
among heirs at law and testamentary devisees-
render this patronage on the part of individuals
unattainable with us, and the Art Unions owe
their establishment to laudable desire to sup
ply this desideratum.
do not deny that the interests of society
may be good standard of morals, but it is not
allowable that the opinions of an individual
however elevated his position, are to decide the
value of those interests Brutus thinks the
Sunday mail to be hurtful, and Cassius is of
opinion that the right of property in an African
is injurious to society; and so both slavery and
the United States mail are public immoralities
The unsoundness of the principle is manifest
from statement of the case. submit whether
the inability of Baltimore" to give me clear
notions is owing to my way of talking, or to his
own indistinct perception. " Baltimore" thinks
the name of our blessed Saviour, at the utterance
of which St. Paul invites every honest man to
make a bow, ought not to be mentioned on the
same day with q cask of wine. l am sure
Baltimore" is not disposed to unite with those
who charged our Saviour with immoderate
drinking, but he appears to think Him, and the
Apostles also, to have been Indifferent to the
best interests of society. A CuURcHMAN.

from intemperance, and still more painfully
conscious that had been willing instrument
in the spread of these evils cannot tell YOU
how much suffered during that day and night,
nor describe the fearful conflict that took place
in my mind, between selfish love of the gains
of my calling and the plain dictates of truth
and humanity. 1t was about nine o'clock, l
think, on the same evening, that opened the
drunkard's Bible again, with kind Of despair
ing hope that should meet there with some
thing to direct me. Iopened at the Psalms and
read two or three chapters. As read ON, with
out finding any thing directly to my case, felt
an increasing desire to abandon my calling, be-
cause it was injurious to my fellow-men.
After had read the Bible, retired to bed,
but could not sleep. am sure that during that
night thought of every drunken man to whom
had sold liquor, and Of all their beggared ia
miles. In the brief sleep that obtained,
dreamed that / saw a long line of tottering
drunkards, with their wives and children in
rags. And loud voice said:
who hath done this?o
The answer, in still louder voice directed,
felt, to me-smote upon my ear like q peal Of
thunder
Thou art the MANI
From this troubled slumber woke to sleep
no more that night. In the morning the last
and most powerful conflict came The ques-
ton to be decided was
"Shall open my tavern, or at once abandon
the dreadful traffic in liquor poison ?"
Happily, | decided never to put to any man s
lips the cup of confusion. My next step was
to turn the spicket of every keg or barrel of
spirits, wine, beer, or cider, and let the con-
tents escape on the floor My bottles and de-
canters were likewise emptied. Then came
and signed your Total Abstinence Pledge; and,
what is better, never rested until had persua-
ded the man whose Bible had been of SO much
use to me, to sign the Pledge likewise. ~
And now, Mr.. President, am keeping a
Temperance Grocery, and am making restitu-
ton as fast as possible. There are at least
half-dozen families, to whom l furnish small
quantity of groceries every week, in many cases
equal to the amount that used to be spent at
my bar for liquor. -Four of my oldest and best
customers have already signed the Pledge by
my persuasion, and | am not going to rest un-
til every man helped to ruin is restored to
himself, his family, and society.
round of hearty applause followed this adj
dress, and then another of the reformed drink
ers took the floor.

INDIA RUBBER.-The Newark Mercury states
that Daniel NcCurdy of that city, has taken
out patent for the manufacture of India rub
Der. 1t is claimed that by this new process all
metallic combinations in the preparation of rub
Der are dispensed with, while yet the entire
strength and ductility of the gum is retained;
and the fabric, unlike that made by any other
known process or previous invention, effectualy
resists the changing effects of constant expo
to the air and weather, being in fact almost
mdestructible.
