Come, fair and gentle child!
Bring fromthy soft, ult;oublsd rest,

Come near and bend thatstern sad brow,
Before thy Mixers presence now!

And giveth strength to bear!
Come, thou whose feeble tread
Still linger's on life's desert shore,
And seek thy Fathers face once more;
Com, on the aged head
His blessings shall be shed
Come, lonely mourner come!
Com, u1 and hear his promise sweet,
And still the loved of earth will meet
In thatfar future home
Where tears may never come!

MIR. EDITOR In my travels recently |
happened to be in the neighborhood of East
Bend, Yadkin county; and hearing of an
examination that was to come off on last
Friday, | thought that | would 60 out and
see what they had to offer, and to my great
surprise | found there a fourishing school
under the charge of Mr.. John II. Kinyoun,
A.. B. This delighted me much, for if there
is any place in our State that demands a
School it is here in this section. Mr.. Kin
youn opened here under the most ~unfavora-
BILE circumstances, last January, but has sue
ceeded most admirably. He had at the close
of his term some fifty students, and thirty
young men, who did honor to themselves and
county in the closing exercises of the exami-
nation. They were as good declaimers TIA
king them as q class as | have heard in
many q day.
The reason / was so much delighted with
the idea Of a school at this place, is the great
good it promises to do in this section for the
great and glorious Temperance Reform. To
give you some idea Of the great work that is
to be done here, let me tell you how many
still houses, that a radius of six miles will
enclose: Ttcenty one, l am informed, in &C
tive operation /! !
This, then, is certainly a field of much la
Dor for the Prohibitionist and the kind visi
tation of the Spirit of the Age to illuminate
and reveal to the distiller, the vender anc
moderate dram-drinker his duties to himself
his children, his country and mankind. Mr.
Kinyoun is one of our uncompromising pro
hibitionists, and gives those whoare engaged
in the rum traffic no quarters whatever
We wish him much and great success il
training the "young idea hoW and 1ohere t
shoot" The prospects are favorable of open
ing a Division at this place before long.

Br 1t is contended that the refusal to
grant licences to liquor shops increases the
desire of indulgence in Intoxicating drinks.
Is this true? Do the laws against gambling
increase the desire to gamble? Do the laws
against theft increase the desire to steal p
Do the laws against anything which is pro-
hibited increase the desire of indulgence in
the thing prohibited ? If SO, reform! reform!
should be proclaimed as the order of the day,
with trumpet tongues from all the high and
low places in the land. Yea, and we write it
with reverence, the Almighty may as we'll
abrogate the moral law, for the purpose of
reforming the profane swearer, the idoIater,
the Sabbath breaker, the murderer, because
then the desire to indulge in any of the sins
forbidden would not be so great as that de-
sire is while that law stands face to face with
the transgesssor.

National Division.

We had expected to receive in time for this
issue, a full account of the proceedings Of
body, held last month but in this we
have been disappointed. The following items
gwen by a correspondent of the Baltimore
Clipper, contains all the intelligence we have
received, beyond that we gave last week
The Degrees adopted in Maryland were
accepted, and are now a part of the work Of
the Order in North America.
Article six, of Constitution Of Subordina-
ties, referring to benefits, has been stricken out,
leaving the benefit feature and the amount
70 be paid weekly, entirely optional with the
Divisions.
The utmost harmony prevailed, and the
members of the National body 90 home more
than ever determined, never to give up the
contest until our fair land shall be free from
the whitening influence of alcohol.

A Dilemma.

eff we 60 for this Temperance measure it
will kill our party and if we go against it,
the probability is that the same doom awaits
us, only a little more So" So said a Politi-
tician not long since. He might be commen-
ded to the philosophy of the abolition ferry
man, who when about to cut loose his boat
at Black Rock to take over a terrified fugi-
tive to his promised Canaan, was suddenly
confronted by the slave owner and his loaded
pistol, assuring him that if he did not stop he
was a dead abolitionist. The " conductor
of the flying negro who was in the boat, also
presented a pistol to the breast of the ferry
didn't pass the fugitive over to freeso11- his
brains would be blowed out "Then," said
the poor ferryman, farewell, wife-fare-
we'll, children-I'm a dead man any how !;
so let me do one good act before | die-I1l
tie up the boat and die for Justice"
In this connection we think we are safe in
saying that the party or the parties that
march boldly up to the measure and pass
law that the people so emphatically demand
shall live. The People are at all times ready
to pardon error even in bold legislation, bu'
co0ardice finds no echo of sympathy in thu
American breast. Whose loveth p~olitica
life, let him pass this law and live. If thu
wing party or the democratic party mus
die, let the one or both die for a bleeding hu
mainly. The PEOPLE hold in their hands tn
ready trumpet, and its startling blast will
awake the honest dead to a glorious and bril-
liant resurrection \

BT The object of a prohibitory law is not
to force men to be sober, any more than it is
the object of law to force men to be honest.
The law would prohibit the sale of ardent
spirits as it would prohibit the introduction
of goods infected with the small pox. As the
introduction of the one can be and is prohib-
tied by law, SO can the sale of the other, and
that is all that a prohibitory law would re-
quire. Such is the distinction which the ad-
vocates of such a law contend really is to be
made, and that is it on which they rely to
show that the destruction does exist on which
they insist.
