Bro. GoRMAN: As / have recently seen moth

ly. | will give you a brief account of the con-
dition of the Order in this section, also of a
torch-light procession held by our Division, on
Christmas Eve, the oath ult. Some II months
apo the Order of tho Sons of Temperance, exis-
ted merely in name many who had been
sterling advocates of the cause, were then in
different, caring but little apparently whether
our Order survived or persisted. Our meetings
were thinly attended, members began to drop
of, and everything appeared to be getting in a
" had row for stunps." But since that time, l
nm happy to inform you the aspect of things
has materially changed. All our members, who
had previously withdraw, have like the prodi-
Gal son, returned, and are ready to defy the
world to induce them again to separate them
aelyes from US. Many others, who were never
before connected with the Order, have joined
with them, and now feel themselves in that cir
Gle of honor 10 which King Alcohol and his ad.
Tocatcs are entire strangers. But why need
thus speculatei Ours is not the only neighbor.

BG- The Sons of Temperance in EIiz-
abeth City, had quite an imposing de-
monstration on Christmas day. We
learn from the Pioneer, that, at l o'clock,
they formed in procession, (Which was
quite a long one, and embraced many
representatives Of the Order from the
surrounding counties OF Currituck, Cam
den and Perquimans,) and proceeded to
the Baptist church, where an address
was to be delivered by Mr.. James W.
Hinton, of Pasquotank Division. The
church was filled with a large audience
of ladies' and gentlemen. the Sons making
quite a handsome show with their beau
tiful regalia. The services were open
ed by singing an ode, after which the
Rev. Mr.. Norleet, of the Methodist
church, addressed the Throne of Mercy
in a fervent and impressive prayer
Mr.. Hinton (who had been appointed by
the Order as orator Of the day. then rose
and delivered a highly appropriate and
eloquent address in behalf of the grea
Temperance Reformation now in success

ker, Mr.. H. acquitted himself with grea

TO Miss ARIA A. S., OF WARRENTON

o Miss MARIA A. S., OF WARRENTO
BY JAMES AVIS BARrLE1.
Oh, let me fold thy match1esg form
Upon my throbbing heart;
Aud breathe, with holy Joy, the VOW,
That zoe no more shall part.
Bright love was surely born in Heaven
And given to mai below
Alovely light, around his path
And yearning heart, to throw.
Oh thou art fairer than the flowers
That wreathe the brow of May;
And fairer than the earliest glance
Of new awakening day.
And fairer than the rainbow's arms
That clasp sweet earth in light
Which stands a harbinger of love,
Amid the temptest-night.
And fairer than the brightest things,
In earth or skies above;
And over every scene l view,
Thou fing'st a robe of love,
Fair lady oh supremely fair!
If thou vert my sweet mate;
I'll proudly fold thee to my heart,
And wish no brighter fate.

an address for and in behalf of the Cadets, and
acquitted himself with applause. I would here
add, that the Cadets were out with the Division
in the day and also at night, in full force and
Regalia. The exercises of the evening were
