The widespread circulation and ac-
knowledged ability of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions and elaboE-
ate puGery unnecessary. They are known
and read in every corner OF our country,
and are as household words in the mouths
of those who pretend TO judgment in Lit
erature or taste in Art Th9 pens of our
most accomplished writers, as well as the
BURNS of the ablest Artists, are enlisted to
eerich and adorn their pages--and ALL THAT
is now FAMOUS IN LETTERS OR BEAUTIFUL
IN ESGRAvIEGs, in the world OF periodical
literature, is owing to the fostering care
and lavish expense OF these two prominent
American periodicals.
Their Imitat0rs fail always
In equalling them, for want of public sup
port, and the poor dupes who are led to
subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year TO dilude the
public. with promises of wind and words
of sound, find that
these well Established Works
Are, as yet, the only reliable sources to
which they can look fora faithful perform
ance of all contracts entered into with sub
scribers.

will surpass in the CHEAPHEss, ELnaAHcE

ever been attempted, and as the works are
dissimilar, have resolved to place BOTH
within the reach of ALL, who desire to keep
thoroughly posted up in the rapidly inn
proving sa
Periodical Literature Of the Age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature
and Art, will be found in their ample and
greatly multiplied pages. and they chal-
lenKc the world to excel or equal the
forthcoming volumes, either in the beauty
and cost Of their adornments, the merit
and amplitude Of literary matter, or in

BEEs.-Wasch your hives--keep
their houses clean--nos only the moth,
but ants are wont to make their nests in
bee-houses. Those suspended by iron
rods are most secure from insects, but
for want of these. place the legs of the
bee-stands in old tin pans, filled with wa
ter. This will keep the hives free from
all creeping insects.

From The Congregationalist.
FOR G. TEN SIN

% R G O Il II e N 81 N 9.
How swift from memory glide away
The errors of each passing day!
Into the texture Of thought
The sullied thread of guilt is wrought;
Unnoted by our sin bleared eyes,
Athwart the web of life it flies.
We scan il DER and dream It's pure,
While demons shout "Our spoil is sure!'
Can good or evil ever die?
Can aught, that from the Almighty's eye
Hath won smile, provoked frown,
Into oblivion's night go down?
No, ell the thoughts and deeds of men,
Are craven with an iron pen
Upon the adamantine past,
In lines which must forever last.
Our open guilt, the bold and bare,
We battle in penitence and prayer,
But, o! the sins that buried lie
Meath rubbish-heaps OF memory;
Full easily may we forget.
Butin Gods book they're written yet,
How will they fash upon our sight,
Held up in Judgements awful light!
0. Thou, the holy and pure!
What mortal spirit can endure
The light Of that terrific day, .
That shall us to ourselves display?
o, wash us in salvation's tide!
And, for His sake, the crucified,
The Lamb that hath no stain or spot,
Forgive the sins that we've forgot

Having recently visited Union, Cabarrus, Neck
l%enburg, Rowan and Stanly, as well as this (Davie)
county, the writer is rejoiced to be able to observe
an improved state of society in reference to Tenn
perance, compared with what it was three years
since. The cause of Temperance is progressing
finely. AT ono place, Mt. Pleasant, Cabarrus coun-
ty, especially is there the greatest reform within
three years. And such is the case at other places
1t is likely that at Albemarle, Stanly county, there
is still q larger amount Of spirits consumed, for the
number of people, than at any other place Of the
same size within five counties adjoining.
The Lectures of Philip s. White, have bacn pro.
ductive of the most desirable results in Western
and Middle North Carolina, as well as in the Eas
tern portion of the State.
Neer this place there is q Division called Davit
Division, with forty members, and still going OF
tremendously.
The Academy at this place Isl n a fougishing con
dition, under the charge Of Messrs. Feetaa4 Iatom
and with about fifty five scholars. During the pas
week, two lectures have been delivered by Prot
c. H. Bracket, ut the Academy, to very large au
diences, upon the Mind, &C., which were well re
ceived.
Likely Professor B., will soon visit the Catawbs
College, and then travel east to Raleigh, rs he ex

is under charge of Mr.. D. S. Richardson. at Ceda

n more cheering aspect, than the Cadets of
Tempcrance-the important Reserve Guard
or our forces. The Section in this City has
had one or more limitations every week this
year, and an interest and enthusiasm is felt,
and carried out too, highly creditable to the
youthfulhcrocs. Great credit due to Messrs.
Towles and DeCarteret. the Patrons Of the
Section, for their intcrcstin and prudent md
efficient management Of it; while the youths
themselves are worthy Of oil praise FOR their
zeal and industry in buiring up and sustain.
ing this excellent nursery for temperance
education.
We might here fallin upon the old homily,
by oxhorting the Sons Of Temperance gener.
ally, to pay more attention to this branch OF
our great enterprise but all know and fee
its Importance, without n word from US. Il
we could arouse their convictions of duty by
urging them to it's Performance, our desire
would be accomplished. If every member
ofthe Sons living where there is a Section
would pay I'll visit once a month, they would
