therefore, not cease to demonstrate until
she shall be the church of temperance as
well as the church Of salvation. Such.

the Lord says: 81 have craven thee upon

Of the smiles of God and the confidence

ance. am sorry TO see them so harsh
ly attacked from certain quarters, and
regret that the replies are in the same

it should not be at the bosoms of our fell
low soldiers.
lnrcgard to the communication which
appeared in Tie CecH Democrat of the

full Of irrelevancy and pharisaical nom

discussion fsuch an important theme as
the Church and the Temperance cause
demands something else than that arti-
Gle contains.
A word to YOU, Mr.. Editor, and am
done. | am heartily glad to learn that
your paper which was roughly nursed SO
long, has grown strong, and stands firm

TIE KENT MASSACRE.

Mr.. RickcNs:-Permit me to suggest
that suitable monument with an APP
propriate inscription, be erected by sub
scription, over the resting place of the
murdered Cosden family, to show the
enormity of the murder; and also the
names Of the assassins and their punish
ment, should they be detected and exc
cuted.
! have no doubt but that hundreds of
dollars could be raised for the purpose,
if subscription papers were handed
round, or presented at the approaching
court where the persons arrested are to
tried. | have already heard several say
they would subscribe, and will give SIS
myself.
A monument of this kind would cause
many to visit the cemetery at New Mar
ket who otherwise would never have
known that such a place existed, that
such a massacre was ever perpetratcd, OF
that Gends ever lived so hell-hardened
as to commit such horrible deeds, as tc
shoot, stab and stamp to death an inof.
fcnsive man in cold blood; and what is
so much more horrible, to shoot, stab
and attempt to violate SO many innocent
females. JOHN JONES'.

Literary Works on the Deafand Dumb.
BY JOE, A JERSEY NUT

"Thc Deaf Mute is weekly paper
published al Raleigh, N. c.; printed by
the pupils of the Asylum, and edited by
the principal. 1t, as its title imports, is
devoted to the cause Of deaf and dumb
education, but generally takes in large
amount of miscellaneous matter. The
head Of this paper is embellished with a
handsome engraving of the Asylum from
which it is issued. Its subscription price
is one dollar year.
"The Radii'-by the way queer
name--is edited, printed, and published
by deaf and dumb man, named Levi S.
BackuS, in the village of Fort Plain, n.
Y. 1t is well edited, but not as well
conducted. Mr.. Backus is practical
printer. He is thought to be the most
intelligent mute in the world. He is
accused, and fear unjustly, Of literary
plagiarisms.
The 'Amcrican Annals of the Deaf
and Dumb" is quarterly publication,
conducted by the instructors of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum at Hartford, Conn.
1t is now in its third year. Messrs. Lau-
rent CleIe, John r. Burnet, John Carlin
and Edmund Booth, all mutes, are occa-
sional contributors to this work. Mr..
Clere is teacher in the Hartford Asy-
lum; Mr.. Burnet a small farmer; Mr..
Carlin a miniature painter, and Mr..
Booth an agriculturist. All of these en-
inent scholars are married to deaf ladies.
| have had the pleasure of seeing all of
them except Mr.. Booth. Mr.. Clere is a
powerful built man, with heavy face
and dull eyes. Mr.. Burnet looks like
farmer, has high, broad forehead, and
speaks little. Mr.. Carlin has the air of
well bred gentleman; talks hucntly, and
studies to please those with whom he
associates.
"The Deaf and Dumb is little book
by John Edwin Mann, mute printer,
formerly of Boston, but now of San
Francisco. 1t is something in the de-
partment Of periodical literature.
The ''Tales of the Deaf and Dumb"
by John r. Burnct, is nothing more or
less than compilation of the statistics
and anecdotes OF the deaf and dumb of
all countries and ages. 1t is the best
book Of the same kind that has ever been
published. Mr.. Burnet is equally at
home in prose as in verse, and has lately
given to the world an excellent volume
of poetry, which places him high in the
rank of American mute scholars.
The "Lost Senses by DR.. hilto, a
semi-mute, is pronounced by competent
Judges one Of the best efforts Of his pen.
DR.. kiIto lives in London, Eng, and he
has published many good things.
"Recollections ofthe Deaf and Dumb"
by the Rev. Thomas H. GalIaudet, is
work of great interest, and should have a
place in every mute family. Mr.. Gal
laudet founded and for some years d.
rected the Hartford Asylum. His wife
is deaf and dumb, and is lady Of unu-
sual intelligence.

abeth, in my judgment, for grace OF ex-

Church Members and the Temperance
Causes. oGT.-yindaX, So.

.W. Editor:-Ilaving just now lit
tie leisure and not being very frequent
correspondent, ! propose, with your per-
mission, to say few more words to YOU
and the public, in reference to the above
subject.
1t is an old adage that, ''our best friends
are those who tell us OF our faults and as
| am particular friend of The Church,
and DESTROYS that she may again possess
that purity which characterized her in
the days Of the early apostles, trust |
shall be pardoned if not applauded, if |
should portray too plainly the iniq uities
that now paralyze her energies and re-
tard her progress to universal conquest.
In the examination Of this question,
we can have no regard to the motives of
those professors of religion, who are in
the habit of indulging in the use Of alco-
holic liquors; nor have we anything to
do with the position they hold in socie-
ty. Truth, like the God from whom it
emanates, respects no mans person.
We must look at facts as they exist and
as they come before us, and not through
the glimmering lights ofmen's preiudces,
and inclinations, and selfish feelings.
We must look at them as we are taught
to look at them by the revelations of the
pages of Inspiration, for only thus can
we see them in their proper light.
Let it be understood here, that speak
alphabetically, and refer to no church,
or christian organization, or individual,
that my remarks do not apply to; and
with this understanding, | ask every
candid and unprecedented mind, whether
such churchill such exist-and such
church members, of whatever church, as
| referred to in former communication,
are not unfaithful and unworthy! Ger
tainly!---and nothing but reformation
and repentance can save them from the
denuncaton of men and the curse of
God. The Church must assume a higher
tone i'll reference to this subject, and it
is the duty ofthe christian to cling to the
cause Of temperance with the despera-
ton of undying hope.
The true church of Jesus Christ has
as much to fear from the naughty inso-
lcnce and pharisaical dogmatism of His
profcssed, followers, as it has from the
blindness and wickedness of infdeltv.
If the friends of evangelical religion
would have the church to look forth
"lair as the moon, clear as the sun and
mighty as an army with banners" they
must place her upon the bble-upon
the prophets and apostles, Christ himself
being the chief corner stone and they
must suffer her to be corrected, and be
thankful when the proper motives prompt
the deed. The Church may plume her
self with false and proud prescriptions,
when her best friends demonstrate, but
to do so, is to shut her eyes and rush
with blinded bigotry into fatal ruin.
Let those who are guilty of the things
before chargcd-if such there be-put
away the denominations of strong drink,
and the advocacy of the indulgence in
them, and they will find their moral
purity and efficiency promoted immeas-
urabIy, and bear no longer the reproach
ofworse than useless labor. The veri-
est inlidel could wish nothing worse to

inconsistencies of Great Hen.

The reader may remember an article
in our paper, short time since, headed
"Littlencss of Great Men, in which
some curious anecdotes of the celebrated
mathematician Laplace We're related.
The singular meanness which that great
man is said to have exhibited in some of
his transactions, has brought to our mind
many similar acts of llttleness and in.
consistency, which history has recorded
of great and good men. 1t is undoubt-
eddy that a mean or inconsistent act or
remark strikes us with tenfold power,
when coming from man of great parts;
but it sometime seems as if nature had
made her favorite children more suscep-
tible to these weaknesses of human ma
ture than men of common mould. She
gives dazzling talents, but withholds
common sense. She endows with mind
fitted to soar among the stars, but leaves
it to become the slave OF the most SEN
sual of passions. She stamps genius
upon the forehead, and littleness upon
the soul. Lest Paul should become ex-
allied above measure when he was lifted
up to the third heaven, there was given
to him thorn in the flesh, to remind
him that he had not yet done with the
world. So it is with those blessed with
unusual intellectual gifts. Their petty
acts and many Inconsistencies and weak
nesses serve to curb their pride, and de-
ter mankind from worshipping them.
Nature works by law of compensations,
and after all perhaps her favors are not
so unequally distributed as we are wont
to magine.-What she denies in one
thing is often made up in another.
GA man ofletters," says Whipple, "is
often man Of two natures. These two
often clash sadly. Seneca wrote in
praise of poverty, on table formed of
solid gold, with two millions of pounds
let out on usury. Sterne was very
selfish man; yet writer unexcelled for
pathos and charity. Sir Richard Steele
wrote excellently we'll on temperance,
when he was sober. DR.. Johnson's es-
says on politeness were admirable; yet
his ''you lie, sir!" and "you don't under
stand the question, sir!" were too com.
mon characteristics of colloquies.-He
and DR.. Shebbeare were both pensioned
at the same time. The report mmedi.
ately flew, that the king had pensioned
two bears, a he-bear and she bear.
Young, whose gloomy fancy cast such
sombre tinges on life, was in society,
brisk, lively man, continually pelting
his hearers with puerile puns. Mrs.
Carter, fresh from the stern, dark gran
deur of the Night Thoughts, expressed
her amazement at his hippancy.-"Mad-
am" said he, "There is much difference
between writing and talking" The
same poets favorite theme was the moth
ingness Of worldly things; his favorite
pursuit was rank and riches. Had Mrs.
Carter noticed this incongruity, he might
have added, MADAM, there is much diff
ference between writing didactic poems
and living didactic poems" Bacon, the

ing Of modern intellects, and in feeling

The Young lady is seventeen, pretty, ac-
