SCENES IN NEW ORLEANs.-The New
Orleans Delta of the 7th says:-"A friend
of ours, who lives on Apollo street, arose
the other morning, just before daybreak,
and from his balcony beheld man &C.
lively and nimbly putting out the gas
lights. On the same evening, about 8
o'clock, our friend was OH his way home
when he saw sight that deeply affected
and interested him. 1t was his active
lamp-lighter of the morning dragging his
now weary body along, following his
wife, who held the lamp in her hand, and
on her shoulder bore the ladder. She
was doing the duty of her husband, who
was suffering from the first weary symp-
toms of the prevailing disease. When,
through the duties affection promoted her
to perform, she put her husbands arm
within hers and led him home"

MAGAZINE OF ART.-We have received from
the publisher, Alex. Montgomery, II Spruce
street, New York, the illustrated Magazine
of Art, for November. This number contains
fine engravings of many Of the most admired
objects on exhibition in the Crystal Palace,
from which a very correct idea may be form
ed of their actual appearance
The engraving of the Amazon on horse
back, attacked by a tiger, is most accurate. =
and beautiful. There are many other objects
deserving notice, displayed in this magazine,
connected with the Worlds Fair.
A likeness of Henry Clay adorns one of its
pages, accompanied 10y q biographical sketch
both of which are most correct.
In all. this number contains 80 engrav-
ings, evincing the highest class of artistic
skill. The object of the work is for the pro-
motion of art, as well as to amuse the gene
raj reader.
GoDEY'sL ADY's BooK.-The December num-
Der cam to hand this week, and we deem it

ton.

ham for December is also received, and we
, do not know how we can better express our
5 opinion upon its merits than by saying that
it is the ne plus ultra of fashionable parlor
: literary periodicals. Success to Graham for
he has labored hard to deserve it.

A Word to our Friends.

The Spirit of the Age is the cheapest pa
per in the Southern States, that we have seen,
and every body that takes it-and their name
is not a few-say it is the best. 1t is not i" a
one idea concern but contains a greater va
riety than almost any other paper in the
State-making it interesting not only to the
friends of Temperance, which is its great aim
and end, but highly useful to the general
reader-Farmers, Mechanics, Merchants,
Professional men, and the men Of Leisure, and
particularly the Ladies. Very well. Every
body speaks we'll of the Age. Good, again.
Well, now, what we want is, MORE READERS!
We want to hold a chat on the great Tenn
perance reform with every body in our State,
regularly once a week. We want to arouse
the old and the indolent, and stir up the young
blood of the rising and active portion of the
community. Won't you help US? Yes, yor
will! Well go at it, right now, and let Vi
see how many names you can send US b.
Christmas.
We intend to present our readers sool
with q long Story from the pen of their favor
ite writer, "WILL: W~ILLowILL." Subscrib
in time, for fear when you do send, you can
get the first portion of it. "WILL." says it
one Of his best. If SO, you know there is
treat in store.
If the Age was published in New York G
Philadelphia, we should have twenty or thil
ty thousand subscribers, and at least TIVE
thirds of them would be from the Souther
e States. Will you not support a good papt
at home? North Carolina has set up for he
self now, and we know she will sustain hi
= own literature. We want One Thousan
New Subscribers to begin the New Year wit
g Help, brothers, friends, Postmasters, ever
e body. "Small favors thankfully receive
and larger ones in proportion"

State Lecturers.

1t depends entirely upon the liberality of
the friends of Temperance in North Carolina,
whether we are to have Temperance Lectur-
ers in the State for the ensuing year. 1t is
desired that four active, intelligent citizens
Of our own State be employed to lecture, con-
verse with, and disseminate temperance pub
LEGATIONS among our people. To secure this
number and such men as will do most efec-
tive service among the masses, we must raise
some four thousand dollars, to compensate
them for their services, for temperance lee
turers must liUe, as well as other folk. By
this arrangement each Lecturer will have a
field to labor in which he can thoroughly
canvass-not only deliver addresses, but 90
to the private and public gatherings ofneigh-
~bOrhoods, visit the houses of the people, talk
with, explain, enlighten, distribute papers,
tracts, &C., and thus be enabled to do many
things for the advancement of the cause
which is entirely out of the power of one
general Lecturer to do.
And is this sum too large to be raised in
the entire State for so noble an enterprise ?
Surely not. If every friend of legislation
would contribute SO, or S., or 81, or so cts,
as they may have ability, the sum would ca
silly be raised, and no one be the poorer by
it, but a treasury of good results be opened
unto him. There is nj county scarcely that
could not thus raise $50-many could raise
double that amount, and some triple. What
say you friends ? viii you make the move
ment?
We hope every County and every Division
will respond generously and Immediately, SO
that we may get the laborers in the field
Let one or more persons take the matter in
hand and go to work in earnest, and send
up the mounts they can raise, just as soon
0s possible, so that the Committees may be.
gin to employ Lectures. Don't delay. Send
the money to A. NJ. German, Raleigh, who
will report to the Committee Immediately
ENERGY, PRoMPTNEss, ACTION! Let this be
our motto until the requisite amount be pro
cured.

r. II. College.

nGA- We have noticed in some of our State
Temperance papers, charges of " Partially"
to this paper on the part of the Temperance
Convention, because its proceedings were
specially ordered to be inserted in the Spirit
of the Age, with a general request that 9TH
er papers would copy. We do not believe
any partiality for our paper to the neglect of
the other Temperance papers, was everthought
OF. Had the Convention been held where
they are printed, they would have had the
proceedings furnished them, and a request
been that other papers copy. One thing we
know, acc feel no jealousy towards any-we
hope all may succeed-and it was upon our
motion that the other Temperance papers
were included in the Resolution adopted by
the Grand Division. The original mover had
not perhaps seen the other Temperance pa
pers, and when the Resolution was read, re-
commencing the Spirit of the Age, at our
instance, the names ofthe others were added.
We are friendly to every temperance paper
we wish all abundant succoss-and we
have never said or done any thing towards
either but for their advancement. Justice to
ourself demands these remarks to prevent a
false impression being made.

who fought for, and gained the liberty we
now enjoy, ever intended to give us a consti'
tuition opposed to 50 wholesome a law
being almost compelled to drink s,ciu-slOr

8. Because it will close the grog-shops
whence Satan sends forth his servants, urged
by his temptations. and infiamed with alco
hol to commit the foulest crimes, both against
God and man.
10. Because it wifi give the poor grain anG

II. Because Us no "drunkard can inheri

from eternal ruin who nolO have no idea o
their danger.
Is. Because all can here unite-PGosest
ant and Catholic. Wings and Democrats, ma
tive born and adopted citizens, all sects, al
men as a band Of brothers, and help forward
so good a cause.
IA. Because it is a law of charity ant
