RETURN OF THE BoURBoNs TO FRANCE.
A great excitement occurred in the
French Assembly, on the LIST inst, du-
ring the discussion of a bill throwing open
the doors Of France TO the two branches
ofHhe Burbon Family. One of the del
egates in the debate undertook to defend
the execution Of Louis XVI, which dis
gusted the liberal members and NJ. Der.
ryer, taking advantage of the feeling Of
the house, movedunexpectedly that the
proposition should be adjourned for six
months-a motion which was carried BY
a large majority.

M CONYERSATION.

Some writer, in describing an ~helpmeet
for woman remarks /: " A companion that is
cheerful and free from swearing and scurril-
discourse, is worth gold" Few per-
sons sufficiently consider the injurious in
huences exerted in the family circle by
loose, rough or profane language. A man
at the head of a family without a moral gov
eminent over his own tongue is a sad spec
tacle. If bis wife has any degree Of refine
ment or delicacy, how must her feelings be
continually shocked? How can she wit
ness the brutalizing consequences upon her
children, whom she desires to rear to res
probability, virtue and usefulness, without
the most painful emotions, the g~loomiest
f~orebOdings?
A man swear in presence of his wife and
children !! Horrible J Yet there are many
men Of good dispositions and generous hearts
we'll meaning withal, who do it habitually.
It is mere habit and utter thoughtlessness.
Could they see a 1.-THE Of its evil effects they
would not, they could not do it. But out
right profanity is not always the worst feature
in familiar family conversation. More fire.
quently low, vulgar or obscene language is
employed. Mothers, if possible, guard your
children from everything of the kind as anx.
iously as you would a cherished flower from
the blighting frost. By eyerting your owr
influence firmly yet kindly, bv bringing the
constant reformatory power ofyour own bet
ter example to bear on your worser half
aided by gentle admonition, you may almos
always correct this vice which owes its ex
istence more to The customs of society than It
depravity of heart. In the following effu
sion consider Nature the poet, and the infan
mind the subject, and you have a whole ser
mon on our theme
UnsuIlied and pure is the futures broad scroll
And as eafafer leaf from its folds shall unrol
The warp and the woof, they are woven by me
But the shadows and coloring rest, mortal, wit
thee
IT'S thine to cast over their brightness and bloor
The sunlight of morning or hues of the tomb.

FRIEND HowARD: Knowing that you
have a Division of the Sons of Temperance
organized in your town, and hoping you are
a member thereof, as all good men should
be, / take occasion to send you a copy of
the journal Of the proceedings of the Grand
Division of the Sons of Temperance of the
State of Mississippi. You. or some of the
members, perhaps may find something valua-
BILE in it for your future guidance, as your
Division is now in its infancy.
| an one that wishes the cause well, and
we'll may am well acquainted with both
sides ofthe question. l have been a mem
Der nearly ever since / have been in Missis-
sippi, and expect to remain one so long as
there is one within reach of me. | am sure
that Tarboro' is as fit a place as one could
be located, for when | left, old Edgecombe
seemed to be taking the lead of any county
in the State, in making the pernicious poison.
Let me say to all my friends that drink at
all, (dash it down. dash it down, and that
for life there is no man so strong and so wise,
but will give way to its influence. Ispeak
from self experience, and my desire is that
YOU may continue to increase until there is
not a drunkard in your midst. 1t is unne-
cessary for me to enlarge on this subject, as /
graduated in drinking in the town of Tar
bOro' and followed my profession almost dali
ly from 1910 to the fall of 1848, a period of
8 years. So 1 think there is a chance for
oil my old comrades, and they are many, that
may and will pursue the same course that l
have done. Dash it down for life, and be-
come a strict Son of Temperance. No dodg-
ing the question. l have some relations whom
|, admire, l would to God l could hear that
they were all strict Sons of Temperance.
l also send you a copy of our Bylaws.
After reviewing them yourself, l want to
make a request, through you, to the Divis.
!, ion that this Journal and these Bylaws, Il
thought worthy, may have a place in your
Division room. IhaVe no doubt you have
f members in your Division, that were mem
bers with me in some of the grog shops. i
so, l wish them worthy the title of a Son O
: Temperance. A. K. B.

Coon SENrrMENrs.-Mrs. Eggleston, in
behalf of Friendship Union No. 9, recently
presented a Bible to Vevay Division, Indi-
ana, said -" In presenting to you this vol
ume, the Daughters of Temperance desire to
make no vain parade. 1t is not intended
that this book, t~asefully executed as it is,
should be kept by you merely to ornament
a table. Our desire is, that the principles
of the temperance reformation now in prog
ress, be studied from its pages-that your
hearts may be encouraged to push it on
ward, until the noble work shall reach its
final consummation. No change in social
life deserves tho name of reformation, un
less il be founded on the principles of the
Bible. This book is given, then, that it may
be studied, that its principles may be i'm
bibed, that by them the wandering may b.
reclaimed, and through them the broken-hear
ted again find comfort"

Kossu TILT is said the French Co
vernment did not permit Kossuth and
his companions to pass through Fra nee
from desire to obtain accordance with
the wishes Of Austria and Prussia. >,
While the Mississippi was lying ct
Genoa, Kossuth requested leave of the
Sandman Government to rest for a few
moments on Piedmont ground. The
Government replied that it did not wish
to oppose the slightest obstacle to his
stay, but'in the present state OF its re-
lations with neighboring powers,it would
be mindful of the inconvenience that
might result therefrom, and would leave
it to their discretion to decide whether
under the circumstances he ought or
ought not invoke the hospitalities OF
Piedmont. This reply was opposed by
able parties and Kossuth did not land.
