New ORLEANS, Aug. 18th, '52.
s. F. CARY:
Dear Brother:-Having so recently
written to you, | do not intend at this
time to task your patience to any
great extent,n / have only to say that
our "Refo League" has caused con-
siderable shaking among the dry
bones already, and hundreds have
committed themselves to vote "no
license" four-ffths of whom are men
entirely unconnected with the Tenn
perance movement--yet, are willing
to give helping hand in the war
against Rum and its haunts. Our
fourth district, late the city OF Lafay-
cite, where the Campaign is conduct
ed by your classmate, Rev. Jerome
Twitchell, promises to set glorious
example to the rest of the party, and
the vigorous opposition Of the rum
mics, now fully aroused, answers an
excellent purpose, as it not only ex-
cites cold water.men to new and more
determined effort but it attracts pub
lic attention (Which is what we want
to the monstrous fact that there ex-
lists consolidated organization, with
IarfEvfGh Sce and regular member
ship, composed OF Coffee House (D
keepers, Billiard table keepers, Dis
Q
tillers, keepers of Cabarets and low
groceries, &C., &c. The avowed OBJ
iect of such associations being to inn
pede our city authorities by every
means in their power in the collection
of the city tax at present imposed, and
further, to defend what they consider
their threatened rights, and compel
our citizens to submit in perpetuity
to the tyranny of the grogshop and
tolerate its nuisances, whether will
lingly Ornot.
True American citizens need only
look to the material Of the opposing
forces and they will readily decide as
to their own duty. Argument seems
to be superhuous after such eSamina-
tion.
Look on this picture of the Tenn
pefance army-disinterested, reflect
ing, self-sacrifcing, domestic, indus
trious and patriotic.
Then on this Of the rum army;
Interested, reckless, selfish, vagrant,
idle, political prostitutes.
Need the first to fear the unmark-
ing of the last and the marshaling of
all its unhallowed influences to the
conflict! The people of Maine, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts and Minnesota,
have already sent up to the Heavens
a glad negative. Soon we trust to
find an echo on the Gulf shore.
One point has been carried; the
enemy has come out of his lair. Be
it our task to keep him out-practisinq
sthe art Of self-defense-an accomplish,
ment in New Orleuns, but which he
may imagine to be exceedingly de-
sirable before our friends have done
with him. Respectfully.

BYJ. s.. wHITwELns
Since man was in his early ages,
Ere steamboat, steam. car, even stages
In such convenience as we wot Of,
Wore made, or used, or even thought =
There walked the earth, by Joye's decree,
Two youthful brothers, fair and free.
The active form, and matchless grace,
Ambrosial locks and beaming face,
Proclaimed their leinage from above
Friendship was one-tho other Love.
So much resembles one the other,
You scarce can brother tell from brother.
There is some difference II is true.
Upon close, deliberate view;
But it's discovered in their natures,
Far more than in the form and features.
Frindship is cautious, calm, sedate,
And .over known precipitatc.
WhlJ always auttering, never still,
Love has his wings to use at will;
Although, indeed, he's seldom known,
To lot them, save in flight be shown.
A short acquaintance, nay, one hour,
Has often served to show his power.
But Of all this, good Pastor Fido,
You may, perhaps, know more than do.
Yet, after ali, 'ts hard as ever
Their stIict identity to sever,
MOrtals are often now deceived,
When either youth has been received.
Welcomed in Friendships name, the guest
Has been at last as Love contest.
Friendship-more rarely Thoughts known
70 have filed the place, whence Love has flown
You may have heard that Love is blind;
'Tis an entire mistake, yOu'll find.
The painters draw him with bows:
What is this for if that be so
He has a pair of eyes that shine
Like - IS in thine.
AT present he would be Ounce
To walk or fly, as he did once.
If not so cheap, 'tis easier far,
To take the steamboat, stage, Or car.
Friendship and Love row show their faces
At all the fashionable places,
And neither of the two endurcs,
TO be away from bridal tours;
May they, my friend, be soon atyours.

Onenin1 the Gate.

The following article from the Mad
ison, Georgia, Family Visitor, though
particularly designed for community
where servants are more plenty than
they are among us, contains a hint
which many Of our Northern boys
may profit by. There are too many
youths, even here, who sit down and
wait for others to "open the gate"
for them, when they meet any difti-.
Guilty, instead Of using their own hands
and strength to remove the obstacle.
ED. N. E. FARMER.
81 wish you would send servant
to open the gate for me, " said we'll
grown boy Of ten to his mother, as he
passed with his satchel upon his back,
before the gate and surveyed its
clasped fastenings.
"Why, John, can't you open the
gate for yourself ?" said Mrs Easy.
" A boy of your age and strength
ought certainly 10 be able to do that"
"I could do it, suppose" +" said the
child, "bVtsit's heavy, and | don't
like the trouble. The servant can
open it for me just as well. Pray what
is the,pse Of having serxants, If they
are MOTTO wait upon us I" s
The servant was sent to open the
gate. The boy passed out and went
whistling on his way to school. When
he reached his seat in the Academy,
he drew from his satchel his arithme-
tic, and began to inspect his sums.
"I cannot do these, he whispered
to his seat-mate; "they are too hard. >"
"But you can try," replied his
companion.
81 know that can," said John,
"but its too much trouble. Pray,
what are teachers for if not to help us
cut of difficulties A.? | shall carry my
slate to Professor HeIpwell.
Alas ! poor John. He had come
to another closed gate--a gate lead
ing into u beautiful and boundless
science, the claws of which are the
modes in which God acts, in sustain
ing the works of His hands THE
science Of mathematics. He could
have opened the gate and entered in
alone and explored the riches of the
realm, but his mother had iniudi-
ciously let him rest with the idea,
that it is so well to have gates opened
for us as to exert our own strength.
The result was, that her son, like the
young hopeful sent to Mr.. Wiseman,
soon concluded that he had no "ge.
MUS " for mathematics, and threw up
the study,
The same was true of Latin. He
could have learned the declensions of
the nouns, and the conjugations of the
verbs, as we'll as other boys of his
age but his seat-mate very kindly
volunteered to "tell him id the class, .
and what was the use in opening The
gate into the Latin language, when
another can do it for him Oh, no
John Easy had no idea Of tasking
mental or physical strength when he
could avoid it, and the consequence
was, that numerous gates remained
closed to him all of his life-gateS to
honOr-gates TO riches-gateS TO hap
piness. Children ought to be early
taught that it is always best to help
themselves.

INDIAN MAINE LAw.-The Ho!

INDIAN MAINE LAw.-The Hon.
Waddy Thompson, says the Christian
Observer, has recently visited the Cher
okees, and in an account of his visit, he
says :-"I was three weeks in the
nation, and did not see a ragged, a
dirty, or drunken Indian. The tenn
perance laws are extremely stringent.
1t being penal offense to keep ardent
spirits. Aided by a general public
opinion, these laws have entirely extir-
patedthat vice so pernicious elsewhere,
but especially to the Indians" The
leading features of the Cherokee law,
are essentially the same as those Of the
Maine Law, ii being lawful for any In
dian to seize and destroy any liquors
kept for sale.--M Maine Watchnsdn.

vote, resolution that it would be

but the progress of the discussion
