ABUSING WITNESSES

Abuse Of witnesses in the criminal courts
of New York has become so common and
50 intolerable that the newspapers of that
city call the attention of the Grand jury to
the fact. This IS an infamous practice. and
not confined to New York. We have heard
witnesses in our own criminal courts 50 badg-
cred and baited that they could not tell 4
straight forward and consistent story. though
perfectly cognizant Of the facts, and 50 abused
BY unprincipled members of the bar, that
their nearest friends would not be able to
recognize them by the characters given.
Such outrages against decency qnd Justice
may not be allowed to the same extent now
as they have been in former DAYS, but there
is no reason ever why the feelings of a wit
ness should not be respected, and be be treat
ed with proper civility and fairness. AT
best the Office of testifying in Court to facts
OF which any individual may be an invoIan-
spectator, is disagreeabie enough. with
being treated like a criminal, having ones
character blackened and abused, and feeIinps
outraged in a shameful manner. No decent
attorney would ever do such things, and no
decent Court would ever permit them.

On Saturday evening July the 26th, at 4 o.
clock ! delivered an address on the subject of
Temperance, to a very respectable congrega-
ton as to numbers, at Youngs ERoads. At
ter which called for names to sign a petition
for a Charter to organize a Division. Thir-
teen names, mel of the right stamp were east
ly obtained. l have not the shadow of a doubt
of the success of the Division of Sons of
Temperance at this plece-it must, it will do
well, located as it is, in such an excellent and
.poPulous neighborhood. May the glorious
temperance reformation prosper and advance
throughout the world, till drunkenness shall
be unknown. till alcohol that most formidable
foe to humanity and religion, shall be found only
among medical men.or in the apothecasy's shop,
to be dealt out as any other drug.
Yours truly, R. ]. DEVIN.

A Coon JoKE.-A good laugh, it is tru-
ly said, IS worth a thousand groans. and we
really did laugh when we heard the follow
ing anecdote : There was a certain young
doctor on Staten Island, full of talent, skill,
and everything ofthe kind, who became quite
d~issipated. The consequence was that he
lost his practice and caste in society. No
n would employ him professionally, and
he sunk lower and lower. He went into a
public house n day, where he was we'll
known, and asked the barkeeper, whose name
was Coddington, to lend him a shoe brush to
black his boots. Coddington lent him the
backing and shoe brush, and commenced
at him somewhat in this style, yet perfectly
respectful: " Now ought you not to be
ashamed of yourself! A man who has re-
ceived first rate education, graduate of a
college. backing his own boots | am COM
pletely astonished, Why, had you behaved
yourself, you might have been a Justice of
the Peace, member of the Legislature or Con-
gress, and finally had you conducted your
self rightly, bar-keeper IN a respectable hotel
The doctor at the latter remark, threw down
his shoe brush, although he had but one
blackened, aud Immediately vent and joined
the Temperance Society. ". Y. Star.

o THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
WHAT PATIENCE AND PERSEVER-
ANCE CAN DC.
ANCE CAN DO.

Previous to the year eighteen hundred and
forty two, it was a rare thing to find a man IN
this part of the green earth, who did not IL
q~uorize, to some extent and he who paid his
friend a social visit without getting a dram, in
the way Of kind treatment, went away with a
heavy heart. But in the early part of that
year, things began to wear a new aspect; lee
lures on the evils of iEtemperance were deliv-
cred in various places, the mind of the public
was awakened, and temperance societies form
ed in the different neighborhoods. These So
cieties were not fortified the enemy was strong
and seductive, consequently, many o the weak
were soon won back to the wallowing in the
mire. A few however, ike Spartan soldiers,
stood to their posts; and on the 18th Of July

THE DRUNKARD NOT THE WORS'
MAN

To prove this, we viii suppose the follow
ing scene to occur.
A gentleman steps into a grogshop, and
sees a drunkard, once a respectable man,
waiting for his liquor. He thus accosts
him
B why do You make yourself the
vilest of men (?
I am not the vilest of men, replied the
poor drunkard.
Yes, you are said the gentleman, see
how you look-dripk that glass, and you
will in a short time be in the gutter
Il deny your poz-zi-tion,' said the drunk
ard. Who was the West, the ternpter or
the tempted2 Who was the worst, Satan or
Eve p
why, Satan said the gentleman.
'Well-behold the tempter,' said the
drunkard, pointing to the bar.
The argument IS irresistible, and thus put,
we have no doubt, would make any bar-keep-
er fly into a passion, and turn the poor drunk
ard out of his house without his dram.

Midway, Granville Co., July 2sth, Is5I.
DEAR SIR You have seen BY the report of
the r. s., that our Division increased in num-
bers the past quarter. We expect to report a
still greater increase at the end of the present
term, forthe enquiry forces itself upon the COM
munity /; what has produced this great reforma-
ton at Midway? We say Temperance has
produced it. that the organized action of the
Sons of Temperance has produced it. We
know that every intelligent man within five
miles of Midway, whether he be friend or foe
to the Order, is bound to admit that a moral
reformation has taken place here. Well, if
such is the fact, and the Sons have produced
it, which conceive is incontrovertibiY true, it
is equally true that every sincere patriot, phil
anthropist and christian should unite with this
f~raternal band, whose only object is the pro-
pagation of the principles of Temperance, Be
nevolence and Brotherly love. As short Com
munlications are advised, l will close by send
ing you a club of seven for the Spirit of the
Age, with the cash. We labor under serious
disadvantages in not having a post office at
Midway should we succeed in getting an of
fee here, the above number will be enlarged.

Bros. OF TEMPERANCE With your per
mission | will give you a brief history of the
progress Of Whigsville Division, No. lis. Ii
has been but a few months since its formation.
and In its formation there were many difficult
ties to surmount, and IFS progress was slow for
months, and its prospects quite gloomy. so
much SO, as to discourage its members to an
alarming extent. Still they did not surrender
the ship though the gale of intemperance was
strong and beat heavy against her-but our
crew was small and sober, and with the aid of
God, we have gone through the most difficult
part; and we are now adding to our number,
some tive at a meeting, numbering up to this
time 30 members. There is one more Diyis-
ion in Camden, numbering some so, making
in all S0 members. We are indebted to Bro.
White for the progress of the temperance
cause. Until his lecture in Camlen county. in
temperance was little thought of, and from that
time the temperance ball has been in c~ontinu-
al motion, and may God speed its progress
We hope steps will be, taken to procure the
services of Bro. White again.
