We have in q former number pub
lished the appeal to young men adopt
ed By the Words Temperance Con-
ton " nNew York in September last.
It was from the vigorous pen Of the
eloquent and noble Y. L. Cuyler, then
Of New Jersey, but now a pastor in
New York city.
We cannot forbear republishing the
following extract and commencing it
to our readers. It is worthy Of a
place amongthe gems Of eloquence in
any work on elocution: M
Ga In this warfare for humanity we
/" have need of patience" Wilber-
force toiled through one whole gener-
alton before the British Parliament
declared the slave-trade to be a piracy.
Opinions grow slowly. Lut us put
our trust in truth rather than maiori-
ties. The "prohibitory Law" move.
ment was not long ago in a minority
of one but the Lord Of Hosts stood
with that man, and together they were
an overmatch for all that were against
them. Calico, with his telescope, and
Columbus, with his compass, each
stood up against the world, but they
both, at last, brought over the whole
world to their positions. May itnot
be also that before this century closes,
the law Of Maine may become the law
Of Chnstendom I We have leaned
from the past not to be intimidated By
the opposition Of numbers. Popular
sentiment breaks forth to-day, like,
mountain torrent, and swells into sud-
pen inundations, but tomorrow the
channel is dry as summer dust.
Truth, on the other hand, is like the
unsounded ocean, where deep calleth
unto deep at the voice Of Jehovah.
"And if the night Of ignorance or
prejudice comes down to veil it for a
time, 1t is still there, beating on with
the same victorious pulse, and waiting
for the day." a h a
Comrades in this glorious warfare I
We are compassed about with a great
cloud Of witnesses. Humanity beck
ons us onward. We tread upon the
dust of heroes as we advance. White.
robed Love, floating in mid-air before
us, leads us to the conflict. The
shouts ofthe ransomed are in our tents,
and the voice of praise makes music
amid our banners. ha
Let us press forward with our age.
Let us weave a Furnished link in the
history of our century, Let US lie
down to our rest nearer the goal of
human perfection. Let us find in our
tolls an ever-exciting stimulus--an
ever fresh delight. So shall our later
annals "be written in the characters
Of millennial glory. So shall our
posterity be cheered by that sun which
shall shine with a sevenfold lustre, as
the light Of seven days"
Though We are but two or three,

A DELICATE SITUATION.-It is one oil
the disadvantages of the cooperation OF
the English with the French troops in the
East, that a sense of delicacy compels
the British to veil the regimental devices
which they earned in the great war in
the Peninsula and the Netherlands, lest
they should outrage the feelings of Their
gallant comrades. The Scots Grays arc

tinctions than any other corps, for it has

They are literally covered with souvenirs
of Waterloo, and must have altered their
uniform entirely if they had been sent tC

also, a number of chests, boxes &c.

INCREASED DEMAND FOR COAL.-Not.
withstanding the present high price OF
coal, says late number of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, the demand is still greater
than the supply, which shows very
fourishing condition of the manufactur-
ing interests of the country. The
Minersville paper makes calculation
that the demand for coal upon the Allan
tic seabord in 1854, will exceed the sup
ply at least 500, 900 tons, and that l ,0OO,-
900 tons of coal could be disposed of,
over and above the amount, say 6 100000
tons, that will be sent to market. The
demand for coal, in the same ratio, in
1860. will fully meet supply of Is, 0OO,-
600.

ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE &c BUNCoMBE. u
The origin of the expression 'tBuncombe
speeches. is said to have been as follows
Some years since, a member of Congress
from the county of Buncombe, North
Carolina, was indulging in long and
very uninteresting harangue in the House
of Representatives. Some attempted to
cough him down, others called him to
order; but it was of no use-he was de-
termined to have his say, let what would
occur. At last the members began to
leave, and there was soon scarcely any
persons left except the reporters. AT
this stage of the proceeding, member,
who had listened with wonderful perse-
verance, suggested to him that he would
soon be entirely destitute of auditors !;
whereupon he very coolly observed that
it was of no consequence, as he was
"not speaking for Washington, in other
words, that his speech was intended for
the perusal of his constituents, and not
at all to influence the action of his fellow
members.

TRUE CHRISTIAN SPIRlr.-The New

Ledger writes as follows:
'Inall the Catholic Churches of Brook
Ign on Sunday, a request from the Bishop
was read by the priests that all belonging
to the Roman Catholic Church should
avoid all places where sentiments are ut
tered calculated to wound their feelings,
and, in any event, to abstain from Great
ing disturbance. The request was accom-
panied by an assurance that a compliance
with it would evince proper christian
spirit, and show that they were lovers OF
order and had desire for peace"
