KIND WORDS TO THE ERRING.

AS this is magazine designed to aid the
mother in all questions Of domestic duty
and obligation, to those who come within
the reach of her influence, [ wish here to
relate an incident in the course of my own
history Which may be of use to others in
similar circumstances
In the pleasant villige in which [ resi-
ded, at the time of my narrative, there
stood low tenement under the shadow Of
an old mansion house, which was usually
occupied by some poor family 1t look
ed lonely and comfortless enough in the
vicinity of large substantial buildings sur
rounded with all the appliances of wealth
and filled with the good things of this life
But there it stood for many year, the in
habitants moving in and coming out with
utexciting attention or inquiry. Atlengtt
it was occupied by a family, consisting 0
an aged widow, her daughter, and two youny
children, taking with them, unhappily,
ruined reputation and its frequent atten
dant, poverty.
They had come from the outskirts of th(
parish and planted themselves down in on
village-the abode of wealth, of good or
der, propriety, of even goodness, of piety
and just within reach of the church
What was to be done? For some week
no one noticed them, or thought it evel
safe to employ them, as was before custo
mary with the occupants of this poor tene
ment. Yet there was something touchin
in the fact that the poor daughter, in he
desolation, had ventured to approach 5
near with her helpless charge-that oil
woman her mother, and those two childre
her nieces. And for what purpose had sh
come hither to this central spot of ligh
and morality, and literature, and religion
Apparently, it was to gain livelihood fc
these dependents, and by her single arm t
give them bread and clothing.
1t was proyidential circumstance, ths
just at this time was in want of washe
woman, and in making inquiry the stor
of this poor girl was related-@ But" a,
ded my informant, "you cannot emplo
her; she is so dishonest nothing is sa
within her reach"
"Poor thing; has she, then, in her d
lspair, been driven to this method of So

FOR THE SPIRIT oP THE AGE.

In conformity with resolution originating
with the friends of Temperance in the vicin-
ity of Banks Chapel. meeting of the citi-
2ens of Young's x Roads, Granville Co., n.
c. was held ON the 18th of September in the
Temperance Hall. A committee of five was
appointed to draft resolution instructing
the delegates from this Convention to the
County Convention to be held in Oxford on
the Oath inst. who reported the following.
which was adopted:
Resolred, That the said delegates be in
structed to advocate, in the County Conven-
ton, the passage of the following law, viz !:

lars, unless by those legally authorized to

Age.
