NJ OF DR.. NORCOM.

We are indebted to the Author, DIR. S. s..
SATCHwELL, of New Hanover, for a pamphlet
copy of the Memoir Of DIR. James Norcom, Of
Edenton, which was read before the Medical
Society of the State, in this City, in May last.

to ~posterity the fame and virtues of a distin-
guished native professional brother, and to the
noble impulse of State pride, which prompted,
doubtless, its preparation. We have the pleas
ure Of a personal acquaintance with DR.. SatcE-
we'll, and we know of no rising disciple of
Esculapius who gives fairer promise of dis
~tinction and usefulness in the arduous duties
Of his profession.
The Memoir was sent on to the Editors of
& The Lancet and American Journal of Medi-
cal Jurisprudence" for insertio on in its pages {;
and being already in type, a pamphlet edition
was issued therefrom-which accounts for its
publication out of the State. The Lancet
pays the following well-merited compliment to

THE TRAFFIC.

The Editor of the Asheville Messenger con-
tinues his vigorous Wa upon the Beast
Success to his efforts. He does us and 9TH
ers injustice, however, in saying that he
has began the work alone We have been
contending for the right to legislate against the
traffic, for years; and we still so argue and
press the subject upon the public mind
Moral suGsion will never arrest it. Nor are
we in favor of waiting till manufacturers, ven-
ders and drinkers approve the principle of le-
gal suasion. No such thing. We say agitate,
enlighten, discuss, until the mind of the peo-
pie, those not interested in the manufacture and
sale, are ready for the issue-then, may we
move to some purpose. Sound the alarm
then proclaim it on the hilltop and in the
valley; let it ring from the mountains to the
sea-board- down with the liquor traffic in the

LIBERTY.

This is the great hobby that d~emagogues
ride, whenever mention is made of depriving
liquor sellers of the liberty of killing their fell
loW-men, according to lGy the Hberty of bury
ing youth, beauty, virtue and genius in the
drunkard's grave. "The passage of avs to
restrain the liberty Of treemen,' to sell and
drink their glass of brandy, is unbecoming the
genius of our free institutions, and derogatory
10 the character of freemen," say certain con-
stitutional expounders. Precious liberty !
Immaculate freedom!
We have seen freemen before now, so fond
ct freedom that thew, would tear oil tho elo+l,o7
night such idolators of freedom that thew
would free their estates from solvency, them.

We have heard many a poor sot boast of hi.

We have seen the drunkard's orphans upor

Had it not been for the very freedom con

THE BENEFIT OF A COOP TEMPEB.-We
remember somewhere to have read a story
Of a youth, who, hesitating in his choice be-
tween two young ladies, by both Of whom
he was beloved, was brought to a decision
by means Of a rose. It happened one day,
as all three were wandering in a garden, that
one Of the girls, in haste to pluck a new
blown rose, wounded her finger with a thorn
it bled freely; and, applying the petals Of
a white rose to the wound, she said, smi-
lingly, Il am a second Venus | have dy-

youth, after a little reflection, solved on

THE KINDLY AND THE HARSH

Time to me this truth hath taught,
CTS truth that's worth reyealing,1
More o8end from want of thought
Than from any want Of feeling
If advice we would convey,
There's a time we should convey it.
If we've but a word to say,
There's a time in which to say it,
Has the reader never noticed cases in which
an individual with the best intentions, has at
tempted 70 admonish an acquaintance, or ak
child, and yet by harsh language, or a rash
and p~etulant manner, irritated and provoked,
rather than soothed and reformed? Some one
has said that in the minds of men, there is,
always has been, and always aciU be, some DIFF
ference of opinion as to what is true-but ev-
ery one knows and feels what is KIND Thus
when an individual attempts to admonish OF
advise, the truth may be stated in direct and
unequivocal terms, and yet because of the
manner, because of the harshness of tone in
which it is uttered, it may seem or sound like
falsehood, or at least fail to touch, subdue and
produce a proper impression. Let US bring
the matter home to ourselves. Suppose that
we ndu COUlLllLlSO SOElC SAAOls ldN 0bSCI6Q
some thoughtless word, had insulted or Often
ded in some rash moment,-and suppose also,
that a friend, an equal, knowing the fact, should
come to us, and in the spirit of a censor anda
superior, not to say a tyrant, should hashlA
reproach US and vehemently urge an apology.
What, in all probability, would be the result?
Our blood would rise. our passions would kin
die, our preiudices would become excited, and
thus the difficulty would be increased, rather
than diminished or healed. And yet, the same
admonition conveyed to US in a kind and Gfec-
tionate manner, would at once soothe, satisfy
and lead to a full and final adjustment. And
so again, with parents and children. In the
multitude of cases, a kind reproof will have far
more effect than a harsh one; and for the very
best reason, the heart can be moved more read
lily than the will.
We have in the world many persons who
are fond of giving advice to their friends-whc
seek out opportunities to volunteer counsel
r Unfortunately. in too many cases, these advi
sers are impertinent as well as indiscreet. They
interfere with matters in which they have n,
concern, ana IN a spirit o. curiosity rather ina
8 of benevolence. They are apt to do far mon
) harm than good, for they are fond of scandal
and delightin exaggeration. There is n tim
4 for all things and there is a manner for a
things. Many offend more from want c
" thought than want of feeling Their heart
are right, but their heads are wrong. In a
tempting to soothe, they %irritate. The yer
lie subjects they should avoid, they Introduce.
they desire to conceal a matter, they are SUI
to disclose it by some abrupt or incautious e,
! preston, peculiar to themselves. There is il
. deed no task more delicate than that Of an az
wiser.

"a A Correspondent, writing from Cum
berland County, gives US a case of degradation
and cruelty occurring in his vicinity, which
would defy credulity, were it not known that
Intemperance can make a demon out of man
The individual referred to commenced life I'm.
ner fattering circumstances, married an anna.
bic lady and had an interesting family of chi.
dren around him. From the use of strong
drink, he was reduced finally to utter destitu.
ton and misery. His poor wife, upon whom
now d~evolved the support Of the family, hav.
ing recently received a small sum of money
for some weaving performed for a ~neighbor
her brute Of a husband resorted to every ex
pedient to force it from her, to spend for Ii
quor; finding her memorable, he set the two
eldest of his children to fighting, and made
them scratch and tear each other like dogs
The mother attempted to interfere, when hel
brute of a husband dashed her to the earth
with stunning force. To save her children
the wretched mother surrendered the money
and the demon-hearted father departed imme
diately for the grog-shop!
1t would be entirely wrong, according to tht
ethics of some Statesmen" to legislate 70
the purpose of depriving this wretch of thu
liberty Of thus abusing his family, by placing
the maddening drink beyond his reach. TIL
drunkard's right and liberty to get drunk, is o
vastly more importance than the happiness anc
well being Of his wife and children.

SHAKESPEARE.
Bright and cloudless rose the golden sun of
the gay wedding day an old thrush warbled
a youthful song of glee in gay unison with the
linnets in the grove around the Mansion, and
the skies looked merry and laughing, and even
all nature seemed to be truthfully rejecting
the mirth and the song of the happy inmates Of
old Morton Mansion. Dulany and Juliet were
now happy indeed; the day.star of their per-
feet JOY now began to shed its dancing beams
across their path, and their young hearts
throbbed conVulsiVely as the thought of their
bliss was pictured before them-' so happy
Hope pointed her finger away to the bright
fields Of flowers and fruits to the forward, and
bid them onward to reap their rich reward of
peace and Joy. The fond gush ofhope swelled
their hearts as they saw the sun of that day APP
pointed for bliss roll up the azure sky, drawing
nearer and nearer to the hour when they should
join hands before the man of God and pledge
the sealing vow of abiding faith-a VOW that
should link their hearts and their destinies to-
gether-bind them together for good or for
eyA-bind them to share the tolls and cares.
the bliss and Joys of life.
Afew witnesses were assembled at the Man
sion, awaiting the arrival of the Priest. At the
hour appointed, the Priest arrived to solemnize
the ceremony. A few minutes before the GER
emony commenced, old Danton, the Botanist,
was seen slowly walking up the gravelled path
towards the Mansion he seemed to be appar-
emily unconcernod, as he sauntered alone,
bending on his staff, and gazing up among the
bough5 ofthe Old oaks that waved their verdant
plumes in the breeze. He entered the Man
sion with his box of herbs over his shoulder
and a huge roll of manuscript under his arm
without any announcement, he entered the
parlor, where the wedding party were arrang-
ing themselves for the solemRization of the
ceremony. All eyes were turned upon the
unlnvited guest, who had so unceremonio usly
entered 10 mar the scene. Old Danton seemed

OCCUPATION OF TIME.-Happiness re-
suits from the occupation of time ~usefully
or agreeably. When persons are actively
engaged in their several calIings and pro
LESSONS, time is u~sefulIy employed, conduc-
ting to responsibility, honor, proft-never
failing sources of self satisfaction. They
who have no regular business or profession,
resort to the e~xpedient of beguiling their
hours by some pursuit or amusement that
shall supply the place Of business. Their
endeavor IS TO fill up time agreeably. Thus
the country gentleman de7otes himself to
the sports of the field, making dogs and
horses his principal occupation, while the
town nan of fortune fills up his evening
hours in frequenting theatres, card parties,
routs and masquerades. These modes, how
ever, Of employing time are by no means
the mos! eligible they are not productive OF
that genuine dissatisfaction which results
from pursuits of a more tranquil descrip-
ton such as reading, music, painting OF
gardening.
