Cause and Effect.

Has it never occurred to the authors of the
Report from the Committee on Propositions
and Grievances, and those who think with
them, how large a portion of the pauperism,
suffering and crime would be entirely re-
moved, and its place supplied Ivy domestic
thrift and comfort, if the numerous tempta-
tons to intemperance were but swept out OF
existence? What q benefcent change is
made in the whole aspect of New York,
merely by the suppression of the public sale
of liquors one day in the week. Let its thou
sands of foul dramshops be closed every day
| in the week, and how wonderful would be
the transformation !! Does anybody suppose
that there would then be thousands Of gaunt
and shivering wretches thronging the soup
houses and eking out a miserable existence
upon public charity.
Away with nice theories about the right of
man to make a beast Of himself. We are
taxed by pauperism, afflicted with crime, and
the very air is polluted with putrid and fes
tering social corruption, admitted on al
hands to spring from the liquor traffic, and
if the community has any right of self-pro
lection at all, it has a right to protect itsel
from evils so palpable aud insufferable al
these.
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1855-03-28
Trees.

We always love trees. There is something.
grand and majestic about them. They should
not be swept away so unspariDgly by the
woodlands axe from every spot where man
dwells. Apart from their beauty they are
guardians Of mans health. 1t seems that
the fret object of most men when they go to
settle" IS to slay every tree near them so
that th1y mayf live Sin thu misfle Of the
:" clearing" In this way most country rest
dences are as unprotected as the desert, the
hot breath of summer and the bleak winds
of winter beating upon the open landscape.
There should lie more taste displayed in the
rural architecture of the country. Home,
should everywhere be made healthy, lovely
and attractive. The cabin can be made as
attract se to its inmates as the palace to those
who dwell therein. All hatitations of men
gorgeous or humble, should be surrcunde,
with natures beauties, budding and bioomiu;
in the springti ne, and in the autumn glow
ing with the yellow crimsoning Of decay
We love the trees, and we love the song 'ha
sings, 20! Woudnau, spare that tree" 4"

New Hanover county.
"a A friend informs US that old Lafay-
cite No. 2, at Fayetteville, is in a most thrift,
ty condition-accessions constantly being re-
ceived. On the 10th five were initiated and
several other applications on the table. Here
is o first rate example. A.st all other Divis-
ions initiate it. A Vigorous, manly, deter
mined effort on the part of a few energetic
members, will be successful in r~eviving any
Division upon which it is brought to bear.

Philip S. White, ESQ.

A great many of our Temperance friends
have expressed a desire that the distinguish
ed Lecturer whose name heads this article,
should be procured as one of the Lecturers
in this State. In accordance with this ex-
preston, we opened a correspondence with
Mr.. White but We learn from him he has
engagements in the Eastern part of Virginia,
during the month of April: and from May
till August he Is to lecture in Tennessee,
having been employed by the State Conven.
ton for that purpose. He is to commence
on the 9Th of May, at Memphis, and labor
till the election. Our Tennessee friends are
determined to make a bold strike for Prohibi
ton at the next session.
We are in correspondence with Gen. Cary
of Ohio, to ascertain if his services can be
procured for any time. His response vii
be made known as soon as received.

The Snow ! The Snow

For the first time this winter, in this local
ity, the ground was covered with snow on
Thursday morning last, t. the depth of two
or three inches. The winter had passed and
the conclusion was we should have the Spring
return upon US without a visit from the Snow
King. On Wednesday afternoon, however,
the weather wise pointed out the marshalling
of his hosts in the North, as cloud after cloud
piled away, like long dark battalions prepar-
ing for the conflict, and they predicted we
should have Snow by morning. Eleven or
twelve O'Clock at night, however, and yet no
trace of the " virgin white was to lie seen
on hedge or field, house top or church spire,
But while others slept the Snow King came,
and covered all things with his pure white
robe, and even after the morning light, con
tinued to strew his beauteous flakes.
How sweetly has Mrs. Hale described sucf
q scene:
Gently as lilies shed their leaves,
When summer days are fair,
The feathery snow comes floating down,
Like blossoms on the air
And DER the world, like angels wing,
Unfolding soft and white,
It broods above the brown sere earth,
And fills with forms of light"
But the hoary old Monarch has departed
and we now have balmy Spring weather, wit
bursting buds and opening flowers.

Me Hearthsida.

The hearthside is the only universal semi
nary. It's lessons are woven in childhood,
and reach out through life and p the
grave. A few boast Of a collegiate course
and flourish the honorable diploma, but all
are graduates from the great school of the
hearth. The learning and letters of the col.
lege hall may fade out from the memory, its
classic lore may be blotted out forever but
the simple lessons of home and the hearth,
engraved upon the heart of the child, defy
tie mist of years and the waning vision OF
memory, and go down with life's evening
sun only. See the old pilgrim, with staff in
hand, standing at the Threshold of the grave,
and he tells you a simple tale of childhood's
joys and its lessons, while all between the
cradle and the grave is a blasted and desc
late waste: How important then, that the
lessons of the hearthside should be pure anC
exalted they give tone, texture and color t.
future life. .

American Greatness.

America, like the proud eagle perched on
the Gifted heights of the Andes, surveys with
calmness the struggles of nations in the val
ley beneath. While the nations of the East
are ~exhausting their vitality in feuds and
strife, she is daily accommodating wealth, and
honor and strength and unless her noble
barque is wrecked on the deadly breakers Of
revolutionary discomfort, she will soon be
the proud mistress of the world. Her Stats
tics of growth and greatness transcend the
widest dreams Of the visionary enthusiast.
No parallel can be found in the annals of
the worlds history. To what does she owe
her greatness? Partly to her indomitable
Saxon spirit partly to the piety of her first
settlers partly to the free circulation of the
Word of God; and partly to the freedom
and intelligence Of her public press. Let
these blessings be fostered.
