WARNING TO HoUsEKEEPERs.-A friend Of
ours has requested US to call attention TO the
iaet that young woman, &" rather pretty and
laxative, Is now engaged in pilfering from
our citizens; hiring herself az a servant, from
pace 70 place, in order 70 facilitate her dis
honest operations. She is thus described by
our friend, who, it will be conceived, has taken
full and critical observation Ct her person :
Black hair and blue eyes, hair bobbed rather
close round the neck; stature rather low, and
thick set, apparently, but not certain as to
this, as she wore q shawl under her dress, and
perhaps other articles, for the purpose Of con-
eealmenti her dress a tan or brown berage,
tucked skirt, and full loose sleeves; dangling
ear rings pretty teeth; straw bonnet; brown
Veili black mantle; parasOlette, and brown
CATERS"
At one place, where she went to hire, she
stated that she was from Beltsyille, and, at
another, from Baltimore; but perhaps she had
oeen AZ both places. However, IL makes no
4inerence Is to whence she emigrated. 1t is
ner conduct which is Of interest
Our informant reports that this rather
pretty and talkatiye" young woman came TO
as residence, and was employed by bis wife
9s servant, and that, after remaining there q
aay, she departed, taking with her six dollars,
Of which she had relieved the pocket Of an
elderly gentleman, an inmate Of the house
and tooth brush belonging to our Informant
Several other similar tricks are related Of
ner' but the above Is sufficient for our present
purpose, namely to put housekeepers on their
guard against the wiles Of this % rather pretty
and laxative" adyenturer, who, it appear:
Is bobbin' around for dishonest purposes.

CoLD WATER DIVISION, No. 265, located
at Buffalo Moore Co. NC. The brothers
and visitors of our Division met at their Di-
vision room on the 18th September, for the
purpose of celebrating our first anniversary.
Although the morning was somewhat unfa-
vorable, there was a very good number Of
ladies and gentlemen present on the occasion.
After the usual business of the Division was
transacted, during which, three ladies were
admitted, a procession was formed under the
direction of Bro. John B. Cole, Marshal !;
the procession marched to the Church, where
Bro. A. R. Mcdonald, of Carthage, delivered
quite an able and eloquent address. He set
forth in a very able manner the beauties of
temperance, the evils of intemperance and
alluded in a very pleasant style to the ben
Ell that the temperance cause was likely to
receive from the plan of admitting feai les as
visitors. He also in avery eloQnritm amor,
very satisfactorily proved the itap'irty OF Il
prohibitory liquor law in NORTH Or m,

Life as il is.

Let us make an excursion down the street,
and see what we can learn. Yonder is the
wreck of a rich mans son. He was permit
ted to grow up without employment, went
and came as he pleased, and sp ant his time
IN the qualification of spontaneous passions,
desires, and inclinations, with no one to
check him when his course was evil. or en-
courage him in the ways Of wiRd- IN. His
father was rich, and for that Reason the son
thought he had nothing to do, no part in
honest labor to perform.
Well, the father died. and the SCH i%nlleri-
ted a portion of his abundant wealth, as;
having never earned money by honest toll,
he knew not the value Of it. AMI havinr no
knowledge of business, he knew not how to
use it, so he gave loose reign TO his appetites
and passions, and ran at q rapid mace down
the broad road to dissipation. Now behold
him-a broken down man, bowed with in.
trinity, a mere wreck of what he was, both
physically and mentally. His money i. gnne,
and he lives on the charity of those whose
hearts are open with pity. Such is the fate
Of hundreds and thousands that are born to
fortune.
And there, on the opposite side, in thai
comfortable mansion, lives tho son of a poor
cobler. Fifteen years ago he left tho ham
BILE room of his parents, and Wen forth into
the broad world alone to his f,rtunes. Al
his treasures consisted Of his kit Of tools,
good knowledge of his trade, honest princi
pies, industrious habits, and twenty-fF,
coppers. Now he is the owner of that ec
CANT mansion, is doing a thriving business
possesses an unbroken constitution, and bid
fair to live to a good old age. Snch is tn
lot of hundreds and thousands, who nsse
boastcd of wealthy parentage.
Go into any city. and you will aimast in
variably find that the most e%nterprisins me
are of poor parentage-men who have ha
to row against wind and tide; while on tn
other hand a majority Of descendants {
rich mediocrity in talents, live a short tim
like drones, on the labor of others, and the
go down to untimely graves.
What lesson should this be to those VIII
are by all means, either fair or foul, acct
mulating treasures for their children.
IF the rich would train their ch;i,iren torei
ular habits of industry, very mary of the
would be saved from iltem?Hrance, !aiser.
and a untimeiy end.

have no tipplers about me, and Therefore am not
guilty." You are the chief man in this business,

soner general Wilbur FISH, ID. ID.
All men engaged in any pursuit, the NOR
al tendency of which is questionable, are
ready at all times to excuse themselves of
sin in the premises. This is quite natural !;
it is not comfortable to ones feelings to re-
alize that the bread that is eaten and the
gold that is worshipped is the price ofhuman
woe. 1t is not a pleasant reflection to come
over the mind that we are visiting upon our
fellowmen curses that blight and wither the
most sacred prospects Of life. 1t is not a
theme to bedwelt upon withjoythat although
we are growing vastly rich, yet it is at the
expense of others happiness in this world
and in that to come. 1t is not gratifying to
moral ambition to see that, with one hand,
we are sowing the fruitful seeds of vice and
corruption, and, with the other, that we are
reaping a great harvest of gold. Hence, the
prevailing disposition among men to hold
themselves g~uiItless in all matters that have
acquired the reputation ofbeing ~disreputable.
Thus, we hear the wholesale dealer in in
toxicating liquors administering opiates to
his tortured conscience by saying sell

The r d PRAYER.

A friend tells us an anecdote OF Booth,
the great tragedian, which we do not recol-
lect to have seen In print. 1t occurred IN
the palmy days of his fame, before the spar
kle of his great black eye had been dimmed
by that bane of genius, strong drink. Mr..
Booth and several friends had been invited
to dine with an old gentleman in Baltimore,
of distinguished kindness, urbanity and pie
ty. The host, though disappearing of the
theatres and theatre-going, had heard so
much of Booths remarkable powers, that
curiosity to see the man had in this instance,
overcome all his s~cruples and prejudice. At
ter the entertainment was over, lamps light
ed, and the company reseated IN the draw
ing-room, some one requested Booth, as a
particular favor, and one which all present
would doubtless appreciate, to read aloud the
Lords Prayer.
Booth expressed his ready willingness to
afford this qualification, and all eyes were
turned expectantly upon him. Booth rose
slowly and reverently from his chair. Il
was wonderful to watch the play of emotions
that c~onvulsed his countenance. He became
deathly pale, and his eyes, turned trembling
ly upward, were wet with tears. AS yet he
had not spoken. The silence could be felt
1t became absolutely painful, until at las
the spell was broken as if by an electric
shock, as his rich toned voice, from white
lips, syllabled forth, "Our Father, who ar
in Heaven" &C., with a pathos and ferviC
solemnity that thrilled all hearts. He fin
ished. The silence continued. Not a yoic'
was heard or muscle moved in his wrapt au
dience, until from a remote corner of tn
room a subdued sob was heard, and the oil
gentleman their host stepped forward wit
streaming eyes and lettering frame, an
seized Booth by the hand.
"Sir," said he, in broken accents, "yo
have afforded me a pleasure for which m
whole future life will feel grateful. | am a
old man, and every day, from boyhood t
the present time, l thought | had repeate
the Lords Prayer, but | have never hear
it before, neUer z"
"You are right" replied Booth to rea
that PRAYER as it should be read, has cost n
the s~everest study and labor for thirty year
and | am far from being yet satisfied wit
my rendering of that wonderful production
Hardly one person in ten thousand, compr
hends how much beauty, tenderness al
grandeur, can be condensed in a space
small and words so simple. That prayer
itself sufficiently illustrates the truth of Il
Bible, and thus stamps upon 1t the seal
Divinity"
SO great was the effect produced, says o.
informant, who was present, that convers
ton was continued but a short time longer
monosyllables, and almost entirely ceaset
and soon after, at an early hour, the comp
nv broke up, and retired to their sever
homes with sad faces and full hearts.

Tribute Of Respect.

BUFFALO LODGE, n. c., Oct. 8, 1855.
God, in His mysterious wisdom, hes called from
our midst our late worthy friend and brother,
William R. Bergman, in the prime and vigor of
manhood-who by his nobleness of character, the
kind charities of his heart and amiable disposition
endeared himself to all whose life was rich in
virtues, examples of which-a solace in the midst
of grief beyond the whitening touch of death
shall live, as green even as a sprig of Cassia, in our
memory, as We all loved him as a brother, and Ia
mant his dnst- Therefore:
l. Resotved, That we do recognize in the death
of our brother the hand of Providence, and whilc
we bow in humble submission to the fiat of the
Grand Master of the Universe, and while we mourn
his death in common with kindred and friends, we
as Masons do deem it a more abundant cause OF
sorrow.
2. Resolyed, That we have a consolation in the
fixed hope that our loss has been his eternal gain
and that we cherish in our hearts the memory Of
his virtues.
3. ResotUed, That to the family of our deceased
brother, thus deprived of an affectionate husband
and father, we offer our sincere coincidence, and
in common with them would mingle our tears Of
sympathy and grief over the vacancy made ii
their circle by the unerring wisdom of Jehovah.
A. ResolUed, That as a token of esteem and af
fectionate regret we wear the usual badge of mour
ming thirty days.
5. RESOLVED, That these resolutions be enterec
upon our records, that a copy be sent to the be
reaved family of the deceased, and further that
copy be transmitted to the North Carolinian, n. c
Argus, and the Spirit of the Age with request 70
