FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.


Tempus Fugit"
Mr.. EDITOR Permit me through the
medium of the Spirit to offer few remarks
upon the great subject of prohibition. It is
not my design to discuss, at this time, the
propriety of North Carolina liquor law,
nor its constitutionability,' prefering to
leave it to our corps of lecturers and other
laborers who I trust will spare no pains in
satisfying the good citizens Of the State
that such law is not only founded upon
the principles of justice and republicanism,
but is absolutely essential to the well being
of North Carolina. What | wish more es-
pecially to notice. is. the v;2Ek before US
the work Of procuring tie 3 the time
allotted as in the performance ofthat work.
Two months of the year have passed a.
way, and another is making rapid strides
into the ocean of eternity, and soon the
wheel of time with its double velocity will
roll around the August election. Shall we
be ready for it? This is a momentous
question, an affirmative answer to which
would dispel the gloom and misery from
thousand hearts, with no fears Of their re-
turn; negative would send dagger of des-
pair through as many; with double assu-
rance of their writhing under its agonies for
at least two more years period OF time by
no means unworthy Of notice when we re-
feet upon the progressive movements of
Rum advocates.
Mr.. Editor, it is indeed an important
time, and there is not moment to be lost.
We may rest assured our enemies are rails
ing their fortifcations preparatory to the
coming contest; and the possibility exists,
that if we lie supinely upon our backs
hugging the delusive pheiEaass6e af lAsSsi5e ere
we are aware of it, they will have bound US
hand and foot. Men may relax their ef-
forts and cry the work is done; but it is
not done. Though our noble craft by the
continued breeze of moral suasion, may
have been already waited into port, yet she
is not moored in safety. By the great tide
of opposition we may retrogade; to what
extent we know not. Let US then remem.
Der that the moments are golden and should
be used with the strictest economy Let us
rally our forces both in and out of the Or.
der, and fortify ourselves against the rum
power, so that when the war-cry is echoed
in August nextwe may 'oN TO THE CHARGE?
with no other determinations orexpectations
than victory. Let US not depend upon the
present prospects for success, nor re y upon
those high-built hopes that crush us by
their fall : but there is work, thereis work
for every man to do. In the language of
ths spirit agjtate RRitats M Mqtsta s

Currituck, down down! DOWN ! with

lost in deciding the question, whether we

so whether we were doing right in leaving
them so much as had been done to the care

be so closely connected with the medical

The downward course to stay;
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayer burlesq'd, your tears defed.
Go, weep as / have wept,

BY MEDICUs.
There are many subjects connected with
the profession of medicine, sometimes init
mately Sc indeed, that for some reason or
other do not receive at our hands an atten-
ton adequate to to their Importance. We
are apt to slide over and neglect them, as
we neglect many important facts, that if
grasped and thoroughly investigated would
lead to most important results. It is up
on one of these greatly neglected subjects,
of your time. 1t is a subject, however,
am fully aware, that will not seem to the
mind of many, to be in good taste for the
grave consideration of the profession and
vet [ am not conscious of the existence of
any malady to which the human system is
liable, that will exceed it in the multiplied
ty or severity of its injurious influences,
immediate and remote, upon our health and
happiness. l cannot but think that there
has been an objectionable shrinking from
duty on the part of our profession regard
ing it and if my subject does not meet
with the full appreciation of the profession,
must at least be permitted to say that |
wish it did, and that its selection has re-
suited in part from conviction of duty,
fully satisfied that [ should be sustained by

: profession, such as Rush, Todd, Sew
