Wanted. al this Office.

A single good reason for continuing the u
,ensed sale of Intoxicating drinks.
We have looked, and waited, and watched
for a single argument in a favor of the grog
shop system, but thus far in vain. The only
thing that is urged in behalf of it is, that
engagcu m rr sometimes make money
great deal, it may be-by it. But this
is no more a reason for grog selling, than for
doing any other thing by which a man may
obtain more money than he had before. 1t
viii justify theft, murder, burglary-crime Of
any and all kinds, just as much as it viii JUS
tify grog selling. The question to be asked
in reference to any thingproposed to be done,
is not "Can money be made by it?"-but,
"Is it right" If it be not right, them it mat
ters not how much money may be made by
the operation-the law has no power to jus
tify it.
But, is our grog shop business right? No!
The common sense of a man with intellect
enough to entitle him to our respect, is insul-
ted by asking him such a question. Right!
Can that be right which does wrong, wrong
only, wrong all thetime-wrong to the State,
to society, to the individuals engaged in it
No! 1t is not right-has not the first ele-
ment Of right about it.

a FOOL.

Who is why a proud man. Why? Be-
cause he believes himself better than he real
ly is. Look at him he il in 9 3 state Nlf eff SELF
Importance like a glass of soda water. Look
at his feathers, sprung like a night OWLS, TO
appear greater than he really is. He is dy-
ing inch by inch with the inflammation of
conceit. He has prescribed for himself sell
fish l~ove-powdcr, his shadow has become his
own mistress and he is half dead with pass
tomato love towards it.. His mirror is his
boon companion, and he sits or stands for
hours together before it, adoring, his own inn
age. His head is crammed from garnet to
cellar with stuff like old sponge and new
cotton-it occupies space but don't weigh a
feather! lie is a downright fool to worship
his poor dust and ashes with such devotion.
Reader, don't initiate the silly pup; for your
credits sake don't, we beg you.

A COOP ExAMPLE.-Hon. S.. G. Pavatt and
Col. E. R. Osborne, the one a Wing and the
other a Democrat, are stumping Tennessee
for their spective favorites fort he Presidency.
They go together, and after having made op-
position speeches in the daytime, make tenn
perance speeches in the evening, wherever
they can get an audience. They thus join
together in the temperance cause, whom they
have sundered and pitted against each other
in politics. Both the speakers are Sons Of
Temperance, and entered the field as political
partisans, only with the understanding thai
they should meet every night as friends.

Great masg MEETINGS,

dred Of the mostrespectable, influential cit

Friends Of Temperance without distinc-
ton OF name, you are hereby solicited. yea.
entreated, to meet in this place, on Friday.
the 18th of October, at the hoar OF eleven
O'Clock, to take into consideration. and deter
mine, upon the best means of freeing this
community, and as far as possible, our beEoy-
ed country, from the baneful and DEGRADING
influences and effects Of Intoxicating LIQUORS,
Come friends, one and all, give us YOUR as

out the country, the generous christian ITn-
Spouse, 1 acaU come IaciU be there I!
And from the Greensboro Patriot we ex-
tract the following:
"The Sons of Temperance in Gn;1ford conn
ty propose holding a Mass Meeting at Mnir's
Chapel IN said county on the 9Th Saturdav
(31st) of October. All Temperance Orpan;-
cations and those friendly to the cause. are
invited to attend. "a0
The various organizations are requested to
appear in their appropriate regalia, with their
banners, &c.
Delegates on their return from the Grand
Division are respectfully requested to snend
the day with their brethren of this county
Several addresses may be expected"
These and hundreds of demonstrations
cvince most clearly, that notwithstanding
the political excitement that is now raging in
the country, the great Temperance enterprise
is not forgotten or neglected. We hope both
of these mass meetings may indeed prove
monster meetings in the number of persons
in attendance, and make an effectual stop in
staying the monster evil against which we
wage our warfare. After the Presidential
campaign is over, we expect the Temperance
campaign viii begin in earnest. Help ! we
ask from all who wish well to the morals and
peace of the community.

Withhold thy Judgment.

Why such a harsh judgement, Sir, upon a
brother? You judge too harshly the faults
you observe In other men. Judge lightly and
gently of them for you know not the events
that led them into error. Speak not SO Bit
terly against one who has erred-don't cen
denim him in such strong terms; for the poor
fellow may not have been blest with as much
intellectualight as others, and yourself among
the number. Don condemn him with spob
s~cathing invective for himself and his Cod
only knows the bitter pangs that has tortured
his bosom to distraction for many, many dave

lions that have infested his path: gOu DOM
know the trials that have been his you dom.
know of the battles he has fought with sin
himself and his God only knows the secrets
of his soul. Judge them lightly, if at all.
condemn not thy brother as an outcast he
cause he has erred, but deal gently with him.
and lead him with thy own hands back again
to the path that leads up to Heaven!

HOPE oN-HopE EVER.

Here, brother pilgrim, is a sweet crumb of
comfort for you-take it and give God the
thanks. Weknow your way has been hedged
about with thorns, you have encountered
deep sloughs of dependency day after day
in your path troubles and sore vexations of
spirit have been your meat and the tears of
bitter sorrow have been your drink; no kind
ly smile of friends has fallen upon your heart
for many a weary day, and the hope of bliss
has well nigh spent her expiring gasp in your
bosom; your sky, that was once SO bright
and merry, has now grown black and sullen
with gloomy clouds of threatened evil, and
YOU bow yourself to the earth like the failing
bulLrush-passive and notwithstanding
for the Genius of Evil to pour its most bitter
vial of sorrow upon you. Brother, look up!
Hope on-Hope ever the clouds that dim
thy sky will yet fly before thee, and thy sky
will beam as brightly as ever; upon the
thorns that hedge thy path fragrant roses
shall yet bloom and cheer thee with their fra
GRANGE the slough that intercepted thee will
be as a brook leaping at thy feet clear as
crystal shaking thy thirst; and the Hope in
thy bosom, that thou thought'st was once dy-
ing with agony, shall yet revive and her
wings shall expand like an AnSarSt0nAbias-
earth and sky Brother pilgrim of day

THREE LovEns.-Lady Gage, the wife of
the first baronet, Sir John, ancestor of Wis
count Cafe, when first a widow, was only
seventeen, beautiful and rich: she was cour-
ted by her three husbands, Sir George
T~renchard, Sir John Gage, and Sir William
Hervey at the same time; and TO appease a
quarrel that had arisen, respecting her, be-
teen them, she threatened her everlasting
displeasure to the first hat should be the ac-
gressor-which, as she had declared for
neither, by balancing their hopes against
their tears, stllled their resentments against
each other; adding good humoredly, that if
they would keep TIE peace and have patience,
she would have them all in their turns, which,
singularly enough, did happen.

Sweet Cider,

We have several times, Of late, been asked
if drinking sweet cider is a violation of the
Pledge Of the Order Of the Sons Of Temper
ance, and if so, how long has such a construc-
ton oft existed? To save the trouble Of an
swering such ~interogatories by letter, we will
state thus publicly:
The manufacture, purchase, sale or use of
saceet cider as a beverage, IS in violation of
the Pledge Of a Son of Temperance, and has
alacdys been 50 regarded by the National and
Grand Division. A member of the Order
may make cider, to be sold 0hen it is gineqar,
without a violation but the use of cider. saceet
or hard, as a beverage, is as clear an infringe
ment Of Art. I'd Constitution of Subordinate
Divisions, as is the use Of brandy or wine.-
Look at it's language-"No member shall
make, buy, sell, or use, as a beverage, any
%spirituous or malt liquors, wine OR CIDER Y
It will be seen that cider-cider Of any kind,
is as strongly interdicted as either of the 9th
er forbidden articles Of beverage.
The note, explanatory Of this Article, seems
to mystify it's meaning, with some, instead Of
relieving it from doubt or ambiguity. The
note was appended, not to modify the pledge,
by admitting sweet cider, because considered
not " intoxicating" but for the purpose of ex-
Guiding all beverages, whether enumerated
in the pledge or not" having Intoxicating
qualities belonging to them. It cannot be
denied that sweet cider has alcoholic prop
critics in it, and what one might consider
qoeet, might to others be quite hard cider.
and who would then be the judge-who could
discriminate? Besides, the taste Of swcet CT.
der has revived the appetite in many a re
formed inebriate and caused him to return
to his cups. For these and for many other
good reasons which might be given, cider, il
any shape or form, is entirely forbidden.

O, Thou Enemy!

At a temperance mass meeting held in n.
Jersey, recently, VIM. Edmonds, Esq, keeper
of the New York city prison, who was one of
the speakers, said, that during the last tco
gears, forty three thousand human beings had
been confined at the Tombs, and of this large
number, Sufficient to make a city ten times
as large as Raleigh not over n hundred
had been confined in the prison in that
time, without the immediate or first cause of
their Imprisonment could be ascribed to the
Intoxicating how'll More horrible yet to re-
late, among this number were several minis
ters Of the gospel, who by slipping at King
cup, had forgotten their Omniscient,
Omnipotent and eyermerciful King, who had
called them to a more honorable and lofty
purpose, than by their example to instruct
men to swim in beastly drunkenness to ruin.

but adopt as the order Of church government
