We present the Spirit of the Age partly in
a new dress and new type. Our new type
did not arrive in time for us to do so entire;

our paper presents an appearance equal
to any in the South, in every respect and
we intend to keep it so; and improve upon
it from time to time, as our Patrons will en-
courage and sustain us. But all these i'm
proyements cost us money, and we rely upon
our friends to reimburse us by adding to our
subscription list. And we are sure we shall
not rely in vain.

Inscribed 10 Motie Of he " Social Circle"
by MINNIE, OF MD.
Musing alone Mt this pleasant sunset hour,
| will tell my readers q somewhat /" Ger true
t,le," a record l have gathered upon my
own Hfe's sunny way. Ii may speak to the
warm woman heart, of some Of my fair
young friends.
At the age of seventeen, Mamie Waldo
was the realization Of a poets widest day
dreams Of girlish loveliness. Braided hair Of
richest brown rested softly over her white
brow soft, but sparkling blue eyes, fair
round checks, asmall smiling mouth, asoftly
curved chin, mad Nannie's sunny beauty
attractive to every eye. A graceful rounded
form, n small, white hand, and a peculiarly
light elastic step, were added to that face Of
rarest loneliness, and / have not half done
justice TO the fair young girl.
But / have not told Of the soul that ANNA
ted the statue, which spoke in the quick glow
of the cheek; and in the bright sunny smiles
upon the small red lips. Just freed from
the thraldom Of school discipline, Nannie's
heart was in all the wild enjoyment of life's
bright morning, and clear, musical laughter
sometimes broke in mirthful echoes from her
lips.
But this wild mirth was not Nannie's nat
ural disposition. Her blue eyes sometimes
softened into pensiveness, and an expression
Of thoughtfulness, which become it well, set.
tied upon her girlish brow. Hers was a
heart which could feel, both the sunshine
and shadows Of life, far too deeply for hap
piness. But the sealed fountains other hear
were yet untouched the thrilling cords o.
the silent spirit-harp were unawakened.-
Oh ! gentle should be the hand which shoulC
draw thence the wild, sweet music, slumber
ing upon those tuned spirit-cords.
Lightly and merrily, for a time, Nanni
rode upon the dangerous pillows of fashion
able life. One evening, with her soft curl
s~traying over her white brow, her eyes bri'
liant with JOY, and q smile resting upon he
crimson lips, Mamie stood the center Of
pleasant company at the house of her " pc
uncle" Harry Waldo.
Mamie, there is an infatuated you'll

Public Meetings.

A public Temperance meeting was held in
Hall on Monday night of last
week, and though not generally known was
respectfully attended. Several entertaining
speeches were made, and such was the inter
est manifested, that it was determined to hold
a similar meeting on Tuesday night next,
the 18th instant. We hope to see present on
that occasion a large number of our fellow
citizens, and especially the Ladies. The OBJ
ject of these meetings is to revive an interest
In the cause among us, both among the friends
of temperance and the public generally
The influence which temperance associations
formerly exerted in this community is great
" needed now-all must feel and see this
Our young men, many'of them, are forming
habits that must result in their ruin, unless
speedily arrested. Others have gone far in
the downward road and must soon be called
back, or destruction, surely and suddenly,
will be their fate. We must bring all the
kindly benevolent sympathies and influences
of moral suasion to bear in order to succor
and to save, or many stricken homes and be-
reaved hearts will be called upon soon to wall
over the sad fate of the loved and lost.
We therefore earnestly call upon every
Son of Temperance and every Lady and Gen
tleman who feels an interest in r~escuing the
deluded victim from the snares of intemper-
ance, to come up to these meetings and let
us labor to once more build up in our COM
munity that benevolent feeling and sympa-
thy which was once exerted In our communi-
ty, and which then saved SO many from the
sad fate of the inebriate.
IA Remember Tuesday night, the 18th
instant, at the Temperance Hall.

The LIQUOR TRAFFIC A CRIME.-It is a
principle in law, that the perpetrator of
crime and the accessory to it, are both guilty
and deserving of punishment. Men have
teen hanged for the violation of this principle.
1t applies to the law of God. And as the
drunkard canno go to Heaven, can drunk
ard-makers ? Are they not, when tried by
the principles of the Bible, in view of the
developments of Providence, manifestly i'm
moral men?-men who, for the sake of mon
ey, will knowingly be instrumental in cor
rupting the character, increasing the diseases
and destroying the lives of their follow men.
< : < Not only murderers, but those who
excite others to commit murder, and furnish
the known cause of their evil deeds, will, if
they understand what they do, and continue
to rebel against God, be shut out of Heaven.

General Cary.

We notice in the S. G.. Temperance STAN
dard a letter from this distinguished Temper
ance advocate, in reply to an invitation from
the Grand Division of South Carolina to can
vass that State, in which he says:
"The truth is, 1 am under a partial promise to
speud a portion of the fall and winter in North Car
DINA, (if aayohec.) My labors in that State in
the spring resulted, L am assured, in great good,
and my friends there will not consent to my going
elsewhere until the Old North State has been fully
canvGSsed.
The heavy drafts heretofore made upon my pc
cuniary resources in efforts to promote the cause
somewhat embarrass my movements, and impair
my ability to constantly serve my brethren.
/ trust you will appreciate my position in rela-
ton to N. G. and will at once feel that it is COM
p~aratively of small moment in which of the Caro-
linas my lot may be cast for the winter"
We are also in receipt Of the following let
ter:

rangements to return to the Old North State
in the fall. They are importuning me to Wis

certain that it will be in my power to get a

l S. f. CARY.
From this letter, we are iustiiable in ma
king arrangements for Gen. C.'s reception
: Should've come, he will first visit that portion
of the State west of Raleigh. Those desiring
his services at their respective locations, will
please advise the Editor of this Paper with
out delay. In this connection, we would call
attention to the following remark in his letter
to the S. c.. Grand Division. He says: The
heavy drafts heretofore made upon my pecu-
mary resources in efortstopromote thecause
somewhat embarrass my movements and i'm
pair my ability to constantly serve my breth-
rem"
1t will be remembered, that he stated here
y that he had spent $4,000 from his private
means in the cause, and expected to spend
still more. But, is it right for the friends O
Temperance to require or allow such heavy
sacrifices from the champions of our cause
Gen. Cary ought to be kept L" constantly" il

! who could accomplish SO much for our glori
= GUS cause, and still it would be unreasonabl
to desire or expect him to give his valuabl
time, and devote his splendid talents to tn
work CONSTANTLY, without liberal compensa
ton.
Those desiring his services should not d.
lay making it known, else they may lose th
opportunity of securing them.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Summer Days are Going.

BY o. C. wHITTLEsEY.
Now the summer days are going,
And the winds arc colder growing,
And the quiet sky is showing
Brighter blue
Marching with a mystic drummer,
Soon will float the final murmur
Of the retiuue of summtr,
Passing through.
Soon will tender blooms be shattered,
Velvet of the vines be tattered,
Rose leaves Ger the garden scattered
By the blast
Robes of forest, smiling yonder,
Will be torn and rent asunder-
Yellow fragments falling under
Falling fast.
Autumn spirits Eill be bringing
Silence, where the birds are singing,
And the echoes that are ringing
Will be gone
Soundless, save the lonesome rattle
OF the dead leaves, or the prattle
OF the sober streams, or cattle
Lowing lone.
Yet it brings a tender treasure
Fills and overhows the measure
OF my soul, with priceless pleasure,
Pure and bright,
Fora luxury is linking
Thought to thought-most pleasant thinking,
AS the summer scenes are sinking
From the sight.
Thoughts, by moral breezes driven,
Tranquil as the airs of even
Waiting near the gates of Heaven,
Charm the mind
Till the spirit, glowing gladder,
Mounts upon the my site ladder,
Leaving Temples vale of shadow
Far behind.
