Two interesting young men, named Taylor
and Lovegrove, Of great promise, have recently
been entirely ruined in the City of Baltimore
one proving a d~efaulier in the business of his
employer, and the other a forger. Both began
their doomed career in the infatuating glass !;
this led them to the gaming table, and, to salts
fy the demands OF this horrid destroyer Of hu-
man hopes, they must be guilty of the most
a~trocious crimes. " We have" says one, I" a
personal recollection Of the period, when the
friends of L~ovegrove, in looking upon his tai
EMS and moral qualities, clearly discovered rich
promise of a brilliant career of usefulness and a
high position of honor. Alas how signally,
how lamentably, have their fond dreams been
discipated, and how utterly low have the sub
iects of them fallen. The influence ofthe drink
ing saloon and dTam-loving associates, has
wrought the entire ruin uflheir bright promises,
| Who can estimate the weight of anguish, which
like a pail OF gloom has settled down upon the
heart Of a young wife ; that has bowed still
lower to the earth the heads already ~silvered
with years and bending with cares, Of the pa.
rents whose fondest hopes we're twined abouI
those young men 2 Who can measure the un.
utterable anguish of all nearly related BY tn,
ties of blood and affection, to those erring vic
tins of evil company 2"
Dear youthful you cast your eye upon this
take warning. You think you are safe, but yor
are not, ifyou trifle with that deceitful glass
) Spun it from you as your enemy.

CadwaIlader Jones, Esq, member of the
House of Commons from Orange county, call
ed on us a few days ago, and assured us that
our informant was mistaken in imputing to
him the use of the words towards the Sons Of
Temperance, that they were "small in his
County, and small any way" He emphatical-
Iy denies the use Of any such language towards
the Order; but, on the contrary, says that he
has the highest regard for the Institution. We
take great pleasure in correcting the statement
made by us; and while we have the fullest
confidence in Mr.. Us disclaimer, yet our in
formant assures us that he understood him t.
make the remarks alledged, though he mus
have misunderstood him.

pRoGREss on P. S. WHITE.

This distinguished and successful advocate
of our Order proceeded to Marion, Mcdowell
county, where, Notwithstanding many unpro-
pitious circumstances, several accessions were
made to the Division. At MOrganton, "a wore
initiated, and a general waking-up oil the sub
ject of Temperance occasioned.
A brother writing from that place, gives the
following gratifying particulars:
MoRGANToN, Jan'y. 9Th, 1851.
Bro. GoRMAN: You will have discovered
by our last report that we were a weak Divis-
ion. For some time it was strongly urged by
some, that we should surrender our charter, as
the Division could not survive any time ; but
there were enough of noble spirits who were
determined to live down all opposition, and rise
superior 10 all the sneers and the ridicule of its
enemies. The light ofthe Temperance reform
was Just emerging into day, when it was our
GOOD fortune to have with US our able and distin-
guished brother, before whose eloquence all OPP
position vanished. So oyerpowering were his
arguments, clear his illustrations, SO whitening
his sarcasm, so pungent his appeals, so applica-
bic and Gfelikc his anecdotes, that few could
stand before him unmoved; and such was the
commanding force of his addresses that we had
"a names that night for initiation, and among
whom were some of our most influential citi-
zens, and / am satisfied that it will not stop
here. We shall shortly have a large Division
in Morganton. This great and noble cause
will prevail, and the day is not distant when all
will come into its measures.
] would not be surprised if we get up a o.
Mon of the Daughters of Temperance in this
place. Should Bro. White visit the extreme
Western counties this spring or summer, We
shall look for him to visit our Division.
At Lenoir, in Caldwell county, a Division o
80 members was formed, among whom we re
~cognize the name of the Episcopal Clergyman
at that place, and many others of the most in
AuentiaI and intelligent class Of citizens. Thu
Rutherford Banner says of Bro. WIS effor
there: The fruits Of bis labors here have be
gun to appear. Five "good and true men
were initiated into the Order of the Sons Q
Temperance on the evening Of the day b
spoke. The names of many others viii be pro
posed at the next meeting, and if the Sons {
Temperance, in this place, do not now go o
" conquering and to conquer then we are
+ no prophet. A Section of the Cadets, an
, probably a Union of the Daughters, will 500
be established.

We sometimes hear of a man discontinue
ing his advertisements after having perfect
ly satisfied himself of the use of Advertising !!
Reader, did you ever hear of the honest Hi
berian who had clambered to the brink of a
well and then let go of his hold to spit on
his hands! He was just about as wise as
the man who stops his advertisements. A
man might as well take down his sign as
discontinue his advertisements.

committee to enquire into the exPedien-
cy of making a person killing another 10

property confscated to the support oil

An old soldier. living at Harper's Ferry, Va.
being entitled to l60 acres of land, under the
new bounty act, obtained from the patent office
the necessary authority for locating his land.
He selected 1t on a tract of unoccupied govern
ment land at HarPer's Ferry, being more con-
%venient. in his estimation, than travelling over
the wilds of Oregon, Minnesota, or California.
The old soldier has consulted able legal gentle
men, who have given it as their opinion that he
can hold the land, as the bounty act allows the
location upon any unoccuPied government land.
The property thus selected Ii is said to be worth
at least $4,000.

a. A series Of Resolutions, passed by
Chockeotte Division, have been forwarded to
US for publication. We would greatly prefer
not giving them place, and unless insisted up
on, shall adopt that course concerning them.
We are of the opinion their publication could
be productive of no good, but might result in
serious injury to the Order. We conceive it
bad policy to excite open and avowed oppo-
sition to a cause, where a simple prejudice on.
ly exists; the one we may-and certainly will
live down; the other, may become so obstinate
and perverse, that no conviction Of judgmen
will cause it to be yielded. We trust on
brethren of ChOckeottc will agree with us il
these sentiments, and let the matter pass su
~siIsntio.

untouched. To show the inconclusive.

The Light of Nature,

The celebrated Mr.. Hume wrote an
essay on the sufficiency of the light of
Nature; and, the no less celebrated Rob
ertson wrote on the necessity Of reveal.
ton, and the insufliciency of the light of
Nature. Hume came, one evening, TO
visit Robertson: and the evening was
spent, in conversing on the subject
The friends of both were present; and,
ii is said, that Robertson reasoned with
unaccustomed clearness and power
Whether Hume was convinced by his
reasoning or not, we cannot say; but at
any rate, he did not acknowledge his
convictions. Hume was very much of
a gentleman. and as he was about to de-
part, bowed politely to those in the room
while. as he retired through the door,
Robertson took the light, to show him
the way. Hume was still facing the
door: 20 SIR" said he TO Robertson, IL
find the light of Nature always suffi-
cient;" and he continued, spray don't
trouble yourself, sir" and so he bowed
on. The street door was open, and,
presently as he bowed along in the entry,
he stumbled over something concealed,
and pitched down stairs into the street.
Robertson ran after him with light,
and as he held it over him, whispered
softly and cunningly, "You had better
have little light from above, friend
Hume" and raising him up, he babe
him good night, and returned to his
friends.

A Mothers Love.

There are few subjects of contempla-
lion more melancholy than the waste of
human love which the aspect of this
world presenis-of deep, tender love,
bestowed in such manner as meets no
return; and what must be the harvest
gathered in 10 a faithful mothers bosom,
when she finds she has reared up chill
dren who are too refined 10 share her
humble pursuits, too learned and too
clever 10 waste their talents on a sphere
of thought and action like her own, and
too much engaged in The pursuit of intel
lectual attainment ever to think of her.
Yet TO whom do we look for consolation
when the blight of sickness or sorrow
falls upon our earthly peace. but moth
er! And who but mother is invited to
partake of our Affections or trials? II
the stigma of worldly degradation fall
upon us, we fly to mothers love for
the mantle Of charity which is denied
elsewhere. With mere honorcd and
distinguished associates, we may have
smiled away The golden hours Of life's
young prime; but the bitter tears of ex-
perience are wept upon mothers bo-
som. We keep for our summer friends
the amusing story, the brilliant with
cism, or the intellectual discourse-bu;
we tell TO mothers ear the tale of our
distress, and the history of our wrongs.
For all that belongs 10 the weakness and
wants Of humanity mothers affection
is sorely taxed; why, then, should not
daughters have the noble feeling 10 say
before the world, and let their actions
speak the same language, "Fhis is my
earliest and best friend. "-Uomen of
England.
