Improvement of the Mind.

Why is it that so many persons, both male
and female, who possess good opportunities
for acquiring knowledge, so entirely neglect
the improvement Of the mind !? The great
reason is, that to those who so utterly neg
lect the culture Of the mind, the faculty that
wills, thinks, reasons and remembers, the
subject considered, has never been properly
presented. The hayward, and mischievous
boy, has never been rightly taught that the
indispensable duty of gaining knowledge for
himself, is to be by no means, overlooked
How is this desirable end to be effected p
This offers me an opportunity to say what |
always thought and that is, that there is no
class of persons, upon whom this responsible
task of waking up the mind of youth, Ia
task agreeable and improving if rightly un-
derstoOd) devolves more heavily, than upon
that favored portion Of men and women, who
call themselves teachers. Very much GER
tainly depends upon the teacher, who should
have n thorough conception of what he at
tempts to teach, and by presenting subjects
in n concise and simplifed form, and by ma.
king them pleasing and attractive, he may
overcome the idleness and waywardness of
the pupil, and induce him to engage in the
arduous though ~praiseworthy effort, of self
improvement, and verify the Latin saying,
LLOOf OUtbCk LCJtCtCs " ~ OIL bAAOh Cby ,
the teacher is nota philanthropist, a benefac-
tor of his race? The labors of the teacher
are many and arduous, but the growth of our
good old North State demands more, and l
must say better teachers, than large portions
of it have been wont to enjoy; too many
impose upon the noble business of teaching,
and make it a convenience for something
which they think more becoming. Those
persons who are preparing themselves to be
the future teachers of schools, must make
ready for the Herculean task for there is a
great improvement, and reform in the land.
How much better would it be for the whole
youth, both male and female, both rich and
poor, flor there is no reason that the poor
should not be educated, to %enlistin the study
and investigation of the many beautiful prin-
ciples of nature, which come up before them
both within and without the doors of the
school room, than it is tospend their golden
hours Of youth in a way that will count
nothing but a blank in after life, when the
improvement of the mind affords so many
resources for benefit and enjoyment. We
have in many parts of the State specimens
of teachers, whose desire is to make a bene.
fetal reform in educating the youth, and i
is to be hoped that many who are preparing
will profit by their great examples, that a
mong another generation ofpeople, Ignorance
may not be seen, and dissipation be aban
doned for ever. When will the teachers O
=. North Carolina hold another Convention?

ALAMANcE, N. O., Sent. q.


At n regular meeting of Haw River Divis-
ion, No. 324, S. of T., on the 18th inst, the
following Preamble and Resolutions were
adopted
WHEREAS, We believe the custom of treating to
intoxicating liquors by candidates for Office to be
fraught with mischief, to social, religious, civil and
political society, and that il tends to mar the peace,
debase the morals, and blast the prosperity and
happiness Of mankind Therefore,
ResolUed, That rs members Of the Order Of the
Sons Of Temperance and philanthropists, and
friends Of morality and religion, we will not coun-
tenance treating with intoxicating liquors by any
candidate for any Office, or any appointment
whatever.
Rcsoircd, That ms Temperance men we will, by
preference, vote for such candidates for the next
Legislature as may be friends Of the Temperance
reform, and favorable to the enactment of a pro-
hibitory law in this State, for the suppression Of
the liquor traffic.
Rcsoircd, that the above Preamble and Resolu-
tions be entered on our Minutes by the r. S., and
that the Editor of the Spirit ofthe Age be furnished
n copy Of the same for publication.

sA- We feel grateful to our contemporaries
generally for the fattering notices our hum
BILE sheet has received at their hands, since
entering on our present volume. The follow
ing from the New York Organ we regard as
high praise, coming as it does from one of the
best family papers in the Union:
The Raleigh, N. c., Spirit of the Age, the
spirited and able Organ of the temperance
cause in North Carolina, has commenced its
fifth volume, with encouraging prospects,
We trust it may realize the liberal support it
SO richly merits. The friends of the cause in
that State will find that in no way can they
do 50 much towards promoting temperance,
at so small a cost, as by giving a generous
patronage to the Spirit of the Age.

ton, No. Sc, Cadets Of Temperance, by
JONI f. WILLIAMS.
Worhhy Patron and Brother Cadets-Our
weekly meeting has returned, and l am here
before you pleading the cause ofTemperance,
that just and noble cause which has led
many thousands already onward in it's
march-would that l could say millions, IN
this our own beloved land.
Brothers, we have not begun to know the
amount of good that will flow from this
cause but it will be known, if not by this
generation, it will be in that to succeed us;
and although nowadays every man seems
to be working for his own personal good, l
for one work for that which will help the
future. The cause of Temperance ought
never to flag, but be ever marching onward,
right onward.
Who among you, Brother Cadets, would
not rather bear aloft the banner, with thu
inscription of Temperance, Love and
Truth" than carry the ~drunkardly stagger,
his blood shot eyes, his bloated face, and his
whole appearance, loathful to look upon.
Associated and banded together as we are
in our youth in this truly holy cause, we
bear the germ of future usefulness, and enter
life fortified against the fell destroyer, and
ike the small acorn ana ntCl0 FOUNTAIN, from
which the great oak grows, and the large
river flows, so shall we and our good cause
grow, and like the oak, overshadow the land
and afford shade and shelter to the poor de-
luded wretch who has been overtaken by the
destroying power and like the large river,
widening and spreading as it flows, so we, as
we glide along in the stream of time, from
youth to manhood, our minds expanding and
our limbs strengthening, will be a large
stream of Temperance, spreading over the
land, enriching it and bearing in our bOsoms
the riches Of Temperance, Virtue, Truth,
until we shall overflow the whole land.
Brothers, may we not look forward when
some among us may become the lawmakers
of the land when the principles of Temper,
ance will be engrafted in our hearts, WI shall
see what chance the Rum-seller will have
At present that licensed agent of the Devi
is sewing broadcast over the land the seeC
Of misery, desolation and woe. Then let vi
say with Lochiel of old:
"False Wizard avaunt,
We have marshalled our clan
Our swords are a thousand,
Our bOsoms are one.
We will be true to the last,
With our watchword and cause,
And like reapers cut down
The dealers in death"

noble orders Of Rechabites and Sons of Tenn
perance, will you not come forward to the
rescue and help US, especially now when
Maine Liquor Laws are about. We have to
look to temperance men for aid, and not to
Rum sellers. All who are noble Temper

temperance paper be discontinued for want

Our Superior Court is now in Session, his
Honor Judge Manly presiding. | am sorry
10 see that he does not appear to enjoy as
good health as formerly, yet he still possesses
that dignity and gentlemanly department for
which our North Carolina Judges are so dis
tinguishcd.
The case Of State rs. p. w. Dowd, of Wake
county, was continued until our March term,
to take up the case Of The State rs. Josiah
Cone, for n Rape committed on his own
daughter, about l6 or II years Of age.
This trial was an exciting one, and elicit
cd the ~sympathies Of all parties. The case
was one so revolving to the mind, being
almost without a parallel in the calendar of
degradation the recital Of which is too dis
gushing and atrocious to lay before the pub
lie. Suffice it to say that the case was ably
managed by Attorney General Ransom for
the Prosecution. Messrs. Evans and Rogers
defending the Prisoner. But with all their
eloquence and ingenuity ofargument against
the evidence, the jury found the prisoner
guilty. This morning his Honor, after a
feeling appeal to the prisoner at the Bar,
passed tho awful sentence of the law on him,
TO 90 into effect on the Dist day of October,
between the hours Of 7 and 2 o'clock. This
case. however, will undergo an examination
before the Supreme Court.
This is one Of the many curses brought on
by that accursed demon, alcohol. This mis-
cradle man was constantly under the infu.
enee Of spirits, when he could get it, and by
its use he lost his reason and destroyed the
prospects Of his family forever; and now be-
hold his condition. lie will probably be

asked, have not you, and you, and you been

prospects Of his family my dear sirs, what

ing the effects of the Prohibitory Law in
Maine, it was inserted that not more than
8 onejth' part as much liquor was sold and
consumed there. 1t should have read thus:
mot more than one .fftieh part as much
liquor is now sold and consumed in this city
and throughout this State, as there was
