HANGING OUT THE GRAPE,

We were once passing by a fashionable
drinking room, in a certain fashionable CITY,
where a topper could get as drunk as a ffer
Tor a few pennies, and there was a circum-
stance connected with the shop thai arrested
our attention and set US to a busy cogitation.
The grogshop was in mourning! Floating
IN the cold wind that played around the door
we saw shreds of black Grape futtering from
the door knobs, in token that death was in the
house-stalking, cold, dumb and silent there !
The windows were closed, the doors fastened
ana all was silent as the ueep Uo1ny, a1loxo
the reyel keepers had shouted to king Bacche
wildly with drunken glee. An air of solem-
nifty lowered about the place and we wondered
who were the lost friends. In our cogita-
tions we came to the conclusion that some
one or more Of its drunken patrons had died
and had sought the disgrace of the d~runkard's
grave, and the keeper of the kennel of death
was mourning his demise. He was a good
customer, without a doubt, and for wears had
dropped bits OF coin, the paltry price of his
soul, into the Golfers Of his DESTROYER. In
such a case we need not wonder at the keener
hanging out the Grape it surely was an APP
proprlate cause Of mourning; surely the closed
shop felt as deep a thrill of sorrow, clothed
in its emblematical garb, as many living
forms do, when clothed after the same man
ner, mourning the death Of some rich old I'm
Gle or Aunt to whose fat estate they were heir
apparent !
1t was the first and only case of the kind
we had ever witnessed and it made a lasting
impression on our mind, and we asked our
self the question why should not the Hall
OF Bacchus hang out the Grape? True as
they exist, there is no one thing on Heavens
t~ootstool that gives occasion to more poignant
mourning than the grog-shop. And if the
IRON hearts of the keepers of such dens-Me
te4"0r-seHeT, will not feel a single emotion of
sorrow for the host of sorrowing hearts, the
blasted fortunes, the withered hopes, the
crushed joys, and the discovered, ruined fami-
lies, which their unholy traffic produces-the
tears, the signs, the orphanage and the pau
perism, with which they curse the nation
the ~blasphemy, the thefts, the murders and
the countless train of crime with which they
flood the world-if the keepers themselves
cannot feel a pang of remorse and contrite
sorrow ranking in their bosoms like. apQisQQ=
sands of immortal souls that they have sent
shrieking and yelling into Eternity, reeling
and drunken to their God, the time has come,
we think, when the g~rog-shops should of THEN
own accord, clothe themselves in sable fold:
ofcrape from dome to the corner stone, mourn
| ing for the past! Right glad are we tina
4 we have seen one clothed In the sombre weeds
= of woe, showing to the world by its sabL
emblem hat sadness and sorrow had com

DEATH OF ZION. W. H. HAYwooD.

i5ei'Hv 5vHu1eIna1 dIeU ath1s residence
In this City, on Thursday morning last. His
disease was Cancer Of the Tongue, with which
he had been some time lingering.
MIR. HAYwooD's loss will be deeply felt, not
only IN this community-to the society of
which he was 50 valuable an ornament ;; but
in the whole State of North Carolin, to which
he was SO warmly devoted, and to whose rep
utation abroad his fine intellect andrare abi-
tiles contributed so greatly. His funeral was
largly attended the Stores were closed, and
a public meeting of the citizens held to give
formal expression of their sorrow for his loss.

q over the spirits of its dream" Could the
lifeless walls but know-realize-feel half
the sorrow that emanates from the interior,
they feel the thousandth pang that the
poor victims feel, they would deck themselves
with many folds of Grape; hang sable plumes
about them, and bury themselves in a night
of black, deeper and palpable than ever
hung over Egypt as one of Heavens deadly
~ n.7la-1sa n mourning we.hope to see
many with closed doors, with empty demi-
johns turned up and Grape futtering from the
~door-knobs.
After all, it may have been the keeper him
self had died, at the shop we saw, and the
Grape was hung out for him. We know not.
This we do know that the keeper, after
measuring the draught of death to his VIC
TINS for years until he grows rich, he too
must die and follow after those he has sent
before him, and he must go into the same
f sublime Eternity, and he m us face that same
) infexible God that pronounced through His
: prophet the woe against him "who puttest
the bottle to his neighbor's mouth and maketf
r him drunken p Before it is too late let the
Grape be hung out, and repentance be il
!, saekcloth and ashes"

Answers to Intermediates.

we are frequently asked such questions as
the following, and to save the labor of HAVING
to answer them separately, we append the
answers here:
When a member gets a Withdrawal Card
from a Division and neglects for some time
to adjoln another Division, under whose iu-
rlsdlctlon, or under what law is he? Sup
pose he should violate the Pledge, what's to
be done? lie may afterwards present him
selffor membership to another Division, up-
on the faith OF the Card, and thus practice
an imposition"
We answer: A Withdrawal Card is val
Id twelve months from its date. If the hoI-
der violates the pledge before adjoining an
other Division, the holder is responsible to
the Division granting the Card, and it is the
duty of said Division to arraign the delin-
quent and try him in manner and form as if
in full membership, and if found guilty, and
he refuses to comply with the Constitution
prescribing penalties for said violation, then
to expel said delinquent and withdraw their
Card of endorsement (the Withdrawal Card
which they had granted him.
This deeiaion IS Ia onfornaitx with Art. 7.
Sec. 6, Revised Rules Of the National Diyis.
ion, which reads:-"A Division shall have
jurisdiction over the conduct of a Brother to
whom it has granted a Withdrawal Card, un.
til such member shall have been elected "a
another Division, or until such Card shall
have become null and void by the expiration
of its date"
The justice and propriety of this rule will
at once be seen, when it is remembered that
a Card of this character is apositive endorse
ment of the character of the holder as a tr7tt
son of Temperance, and if the holder forfeits
his claim to this character, the endorsers
should, in justice and honor to themselves
revoke their endorsement.

Consistency Thou art a Jewel.

The clerk in one of the liquor concerns
in this city, said a few weeks ago, that they
were never doing so large a business as at the
present time. Orders were coming in from
all parts Of the county, and the quantity ofli-
quor used was enormous. Now, this chap
should change his tone. Instead of being, as
he is, an inveterate enemy of the cause, he
should be one of its warmest friends. He
should join the temperance society, take the
temperance paper, and seek every opportuni-
ty to speak well of Thorn, and until he does
this, he is not entitled to the least credit.

IA We have received from some friend
a neatly printed copy of the Address deliver
ed before the two Literary Societies of Wake
Forest College, June 9, 1852, by the Hon.
Romulus III. Saunders. The subject of the
address The early History anapresene fso-
sources Of the State'-is one Of the most in
teresting that could possibly have been selec-
ted. and Gen. Saunders has treated it in a
clear. bold and mastery manner. Its gen.
eral perusal by the rising generation could
not fail to give an impulse to State pride and
State improvement, which would be felt and
appreciated in after years. The address is
production worthy of the occasion and worthy
of It's distinguished author.

SHocKrNe TRAeEDY.-Mr. John

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-Mr. John
A. Richardson, living near the arsenel,
Pittsburgh. had a refractory son,
named Walter, who was especially
violent towards his step-moiher.
The father. wishing TO stop this,
told his wife that he had loaded the
gun NTH ponder, and if the lad
"broke out" to freit, TO frighten him.
Soon after, being annoyed by a
dog. he put in a heavy load of shot
and neglected TO mention the fact to
his wife. Thursday afternoon, the
lad threw a sharp piece of coal al
Mrs. Richardson. and cut her cheek
badly; she thrust him violently out
of the house, and threatened TO shoot
him if he should return.
On Friday morning, he came back.
She saw him coming, seized the gun,
and going into the yard, snapped il
at him; but il missed. She returned
into the house. put on the tube per-
cussion cap, came out again, rested
the gun on the fence and fired.
The boy fell instantly TO the
ground. The mother shrieked with
alarm, when she saw what she had
done; she called loudly for help. 1t
came. But the boy was beyond the
reach Of remedies, and died a short
time after he was shot.
One hundred and thirty-seven shot
pierced his body, so the physician
said upon his examination. The ver-
dict of the jury, at the CoroDer's
inquest, was, "that Walter Richard
son came to his death by a gunshot
wound, and that the shot was fired
by his step-mother, Hester Richard
son." The woman was committed
to jail.-PihSburgh Journal.
