slanderer's feet bitches of dilemmas, such as
no sophistry could overleap and no stretch
ofingenuity evade, and having thus as one
might say, impounded the victim, and girt
him about like scorpion IN a circle of fire,
he stripped himself to the work of massacre
Oh, then, but ii was vision both glorious
and dreadful to behold the orator. His ac-
ton, before graceful as the waves of golden
willow in the breeze, grew impetuous as the
motion of an oak in the hurricane His voice
became trumpet, filed with wild whirlwinds,
deafening the ear with crashes of power, and
yet interningled all the while with sweet
undersong of the the softest cadence. His
face was red as drunkard's-his forehead
glowed ike heated furnace-his counten-
ance looked haggard Eke that of a maniac
and ever and anon he flung his long, bony
arms on high, as if grasping after thunder
bolts He drew picture of murder in such
appalling colors, that in comparison he'll it
self might be considered beautiful. He pain
ted the slanderer so black that the sun seem
ed dark at MONDAY, when shining on such
an accursed monster-and then he fixed both
portraits on the shrinking brow of Hopkins
and he nailed them there forever. The agi
tation of the audience amounted nearly to
/ madness.
i All at once the speaker decended from hi,
perilous height. His voice walled out fo
the murdered dead, and described the sor
rows of the widowed living-the beautifu
Mary, more beautiful every moment, as he
tears flowed faster-till men wept and lowell

He closed by strange exhortation to tn

offer violence to defendant however richly h

e ishment to God
This was the most artful trick of all an
a the best calculated to insure vengeance.

FEMALE MSTITIITE

The examination of the pupils of the War
renton Female Institute, under the superip.
tendance of Messrs. Graves and Wilcox, came
off on "Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,
the 2sth, 29th and sOth of May. The exer-
cises were highly interesting, and the readi-
ness displayed by the young Ladies in an
swering questions on the different branches.
Of study they had been pursuing, showed
that industry and perseverance had marked
the progress of the session, on the part both
of Teachers and Pupils. The course of study
in this Institution includes every essential Of
a refined Female education, and by combin-
ing the ornamental and useful, prepares its
pupils to adorn the responsible positions IN
society they are destined to occupy.

A PFCTJIJAR RITSINFSS

1t is a maxim in the mercantile world, that
the demand regulates the supply of any COM
modify, and this doubtless is generally true.
But there is one business which seems to have
law of its own, inasmuch as it creates the
demand which it afterwards supplies. This
business is the liquor traffic. In order to its
prosperity, it is indispensable that it succeed
in generating craving for its drinks, and as
these drinks naturally and necessarily poison
and kill off their consumers, new appetites
must be created and new customers raised
up, and thus a continual round of creating,
killing off, and filing the ranks with new re-
cruits, is required to be kept up by this in
domitable and Unsuitable liquor traffic
The liquor traffic is therefore business SUI
genaeris, and unlike any other. Your baker
finds a good natural appetite waiting for his
bread he finds, too, that his regular and most
hearty customers are not injured but benefit
ed by the supplies furnished them. His Gus
TONERS do not lose their character or their
property in consequence of patronizing him,
and therefore, he is under no necessity of
hunting up Others to take their place. But
the liquor sellers business kills off its patrons
in short time, or else makes them too poor
to pay for their indulgence, and consequent
ly it must seek for others to take their place.
1t impoverishes men, degrades them, or in
wolves them in crime or misery, so that they
can no longer buy the fiery stuff
Hence the rum traffic must, to support it.
self, continually extend its circle of customers.
1t must find new victims to fill up the ranks
which it is daily thinning out The liquor
sellers, therefore, are vitally interested in in
creasing the demand for strong drinks. Their
existence depends upon the growth Of the APP
petite and the increase of the number of those
who drink. They must not only get a good
run of custom, but as they kill their custom
ers, they must exert themselves to keep the
ranks filed up. 1t is not so with other busi
ness, such as that Of the butcher, the baker
DC. These do their customers good, and i'm
part strength and comfort to them, and wher
they get good set of customers they arr
satisfied but driving rumseIler will some
times poison of, or drive to the Jail Of tn,
alms-house half dozen successive sets o
! patrons, or perhaps more.
