MIND! that's a bubble you are running af-
ter, youngfriend. Bubbles burst. Fire works
always end in smoke and darkness. Get
that which is Of value, and that which you
can keep. Remember the South Sea Bubble.
"DRINKING liquor is an old custom-the
wisest men of old times favored it but these
temperance fanatics impeach the wisdom and
experience of the human race"
Clear as a whistler Capt. Ericsson, in
building his magnificent caloric ship, casts
a grave reflection on Uncle Noah IN the mat
ter of naval architecture. Do better next
time, Sol.
ScH1EDAM ScHNAPPs are in great repute
just now,-said to be a great medicine for d.
vers diseases. Here is the formula for ma
king the wonderful c~ure-all:
Common gin, FIVE gallons; strained honey, four
pints sulphuric acid, two drachms; spirit of nut
megs, one pint; spirit of nitric ether, one ounce;
clear water, three pints. Mix the honey and water
and add to the gin the %sulphuTic acid"

"TM a member Of the Church, Sir there is

PAsQUofANK coUNTY.-We see by the Eliz-
abeth City papers that Daniel Richardson,
ESQ.,, is announced as a candidate for the
Legislature, upon the principle of legislating
for the suppression of the liquor traffic. We
suppose this has been brought about by 9th
er candidates refusing to favorthe movement;
and its friends being determined to have a
candidate for whom they can consistently
vote, have brought forward Mr.. r. for this
purpose. We trust every friend of reform
will cast his suffrage for him, regardless of
party ties and issues, and thus give the world
to understand that we mean what we have
so long declared relative to the removal of
the liquor scourge. Our friends in Pasquo-
tank have now a fair opportunity to yindicate
J the cause of truth and right.

give the greeting hand and offer the hospital
tiles of the land. The humblest and the low
est look upon them as their noble JetOars,
with no higher name, or title, or power than
belongs to all and each-thc proud title of
an AMERICAN CITIZEN! No ermincd robe
or kingly diadem distinguishes them from
others. but in p~lainest garb, side by side with
the farmer and mechanic they hold familiar
converse, and each feel that they are EQUALS.
Huzza for the land Of the free and the home
of the brave! May it always remain a God
blest Union, and always have as wise rulers
as those whom we now honor.
But we must put up our sketch-book-th'
engine whistles shrilly-the Conductor erie
out, passengers will COX out for their bag
gage"-and we're off in a jify to do that yer,
thing.

FSA We call attention to the extracts in
another column from the Message ofthe Gov
ernor Of Connecticut to the Legislature of that
State. 1t is a cheering sign of the times to
see this important question of Prohibition
occupying a prominent position in the State
documents of the country. Gov. Dutton
handles the subject like a christian states
man and philanthropist.
BP STAR IN THE EAsT.-The proprietor
ship Of this excellent contemporary in the
temperance reform, published at Elizabeth
City, has passed into the hands of DR.. God
win, one of the Editors of the paper. We
chronicle the change with much pleasure, be-
lieving it will tend not only to the permanent
cy of the Star, but also greatly to the ad-
vancement of the cause in that section of the
State. We formed the acquaintance of DIR.
G.. a few weeks since, and found him to be
what his editorials indicated, a whole souled
temperance man, and an intellectual gentle.
man. Success the most abundant to him
and the Star.
