DEATHS.

In this county, on the 26th July, Oscar Charles,
months and 4 days.
On the 18th inst, Mary E. Hunt, daughter of
Jno. W. and Frances C.. Hunt, of Person county,
N. Carolina, aged 4 years and 4 months. She pos
sessed every qnality, to endear her to her parents,
and friends. But the lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away and blessed be the name of the Lord.
AT a meeting of Hopewell Division, No. 81, Sons
of Temperance, held on the 21st July, the follow
ing Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, we have learre ed that it has pleased
an Allwise Providence to remove on the l4th inst,
from our midst, our esteemed friend and brother,
II. M. Sample under a sense of our high regard
and warm attachments to the memory of our de-
parted brother; therefore
Resolred, That this Division has lost one Of its
most worthy, exemplary and useful members, our
community one of its most valuable citizens and
the Presbyterian Church one of its brightest orna-
ments.
Resotred, That while we sadly deplore his de-
parture and feel with sorrow that his seat is vaca-
ted which cannot again be supplied, we yield to
the Great Disposer of life, feeling assured that he
has left us only to receive the unfading glory pre-
pared for the righteous in heaven.
ResotUed, That we do cordially mingle our tear
with the bereaved widow and family, and ofel
them our sincere sympathy That We wiz awea,
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Tha
q copy of these Resolutions be sent tie the bereav
ed widow and family, and one to the Spirit of tn
Age for publication.

Greensboro Female College.

H Fall Term of this Institution was opened
to-day, with as large numbers as are ordinarily in
attendance at the first ~roll-call. 1t is q proper
time to bespeak the attention of our friends and
the church generally to the interests of the College.
The oldest of our Institutions of learning for
young ladies, having therefore the largest expert
ence in the best methods of intellectual develop
ment, furnished with apparatus, and managed by
an eminently gifted Faculty, it commends itself
with superior claims to our regard. The corps of
teachers has never been stronger than at present.
President Jones is fortunate in having his own
rare qualifications for his post supported by such
men as Professors Blake, Wolfe, Frerichs and Rail-
lard and the Misses Hagen, MCGEE, Speed, Blake
and Duty. A majority of our Male Colleges have
not so strong a Faculty. It is gratifying to hear
of the success of the Agent, the Rev. Mr.. Gloss in
the enterprise of completing the 500, 900 fund. He
has secured this week from the citizens of this
place more than 81 500 which I am quite sure
they will increase to $4,000, in addition to what
they have heretofore done for the College.
And now, with such cheering prospects, let us
all work to increase the capability of the College
for usefulness. Let our preachers speak to the PEG.
pie OF the College wherever there are daughters tc
be educated. Let them drop a line to President
Jones advising him where to send catalogues, and
thus By kind offices deepen the interest of all con.
cerned.
The increasing ease of access to Greensboro as
the Rall Road approaches it from the East and
West, and the surprising healthfulness of the 10
cation, give it the promise of a large patronage, i
the ministers generally will direct the attention o
the people this way.
Having remained here a few days to assist in in
creasing the fund and to be present at the open
ing of the session, I have felt impelled to writ
these few lines of encouragement before leaving
Let US keep our halls full, and let us next sprin,
commence our improvements.
We may if all will aid.

Pres. of Board of Trustees.

PROHIBITION IN New YoRK.-Iti is evident,
Notwithstanding the fierce opposition which
the Prohibitory Law is e~ncountering in the
city, throughout the State it is being very
generally enforced. From the rural districts
and the interior town and cities, we have in
telligence Of the most encouraging character,
and even in the Empire City, where all sorts
of obstacles are thrown in the way of the
execution Of the law, there is already a man.
ifest improvement upon the old order of
things. With the Newark Mercury, we have
neeer expected that the strong holds of rum
in New York would be beaten down in a day,
and we are rather surprised than otherwise
at the success which has thus far crowned
the efforts of the friends of Prohibition. In
our opinion there is evidence enough already.
that, despite the money and influence of the
liquor dealers, and the barriers within bar
riers that they have erected around them
selves, a law Of Prohibition CAN BE ENFORCED,
and we have no question whatever that i twill
be, judging from present indications.

Rum in the Crimea.

In the "News from the War" we see mem
ton made of Mrs. Florence Nightengale's
disinterested benevolence and charity to-
wards the sufferers in the Crimea. Late &C.
counts inform us of her sickness, having
sunk beneath her task. A late New York
paper, from which we make the following
extract, gives us some information touching
the cause of the benevolent lady's sickness !:
1t was not the poison breath of infection, or the
exhaustion of untiring toll, or the glaring summer
sun which already stares with fierce glow on the
shores of the Bosphorus, that weighed down her
slender form. All this could / have borne with
" deep joy !! she writes, " but to see the stretcher
" brought to the gates every hour laden with men
" foaming in the mouth and black in the face, not
/" with the gore of battle but with the horrible de-
d" Placement of a foe more dreadful or deadly than
" The Russian or the plague, oh it is terrible +
This foe of which she speaks in. such touching
language, is intomperance.
So, rum, the curse of the universe, has
found it's way into the Camp of the Allies;
and is moving down the flower of the Crimea
like the fatal chain-shot of the enemy. In
all places this deadly foe to man raises its
hydra head and strikes it's deadly fang in the
great interest of men. Before rum was in
troduced into the Crimea, Florence Nighten-
gales task was a labor of lcve;" for those
to whom she ministered were brave heroes
not filthy drunkards. Then they were gentle
and patient--now they are rude and filth
The curse of rum in the Crimea looms up g
darker and more revolving picture than has
vet been presented on the battle field.
No wonder that Florence Nightengale'f
courage failed-no wonder that her spiri
gave way. The run plague is more fatal IL
its havoc than bursting shells-its death sea
more revolving than ~mangled soldiers, orr tn
loathsome victims of pestilence.
The rum plague is terrible in its ravages
and the system by which it is tolerated i
one against which every lover of humanit
should rise up.

For the Spirit of the Age.
Ponlar Street Division.

Mr.. EDITOR Believing that the numer-
Gus readers Of your invaluable paper are
always pleased to hear of9he success of the
Order OF the Sons of Temperance, we will
here give some account of the prosecuted,
but tried and faithful little Spartan band at
Poplar Street Division, Stanly county.
On Wednesday, the 4th of July, we held
our third anniversary, and Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather, the morning
being very rainy, we had a very respectable
congregation. Between the hours of Ii and
IL in the morning the brethren met at the
Division Room, formed themselves into a
procession, headed by a splendid band of
mnsic, marched up to Brother Bile's, where
we were joined by a respectable number of
ladies. We then marched to the stand pre-
viously prepared the services of the day
were opened by singing the opening ode ofour
Order, and prayer by the Chaplain of our
Division, Rev. W. G. Clark. e
The president of the day, Col. j. F. Stone,
arose, and in a brief but very appropriate
manner explained the object of the meeting /;
after which a banner was exhibited. When
called upon by the president, Miss Mary L.
Stokes, as representative of the Ladies, arose
and with q clear and audible voice, delivered
a very appropriate address and presented US
with a beautiful banner, wrought with their
own fair hands, to which Brother John M.
Bivens gave a very appropriate RESPONSE.
The president then introduced Col. D. A.
G. Palmer, who addressed the people on the
subject Of American Independence, and the
noble cause of temperance. He was followed
by brother Joseph P. Smith, and Rev. III
Woodward. Their addresses were very ap
propriate and we'll adapted to the occasion
The meeting then adjourned to meet at
o'clock, P. M.
In the evening seven persons handed II
their names to the Division who we're forth
with initiated, one of whom was a minister
of the Missionary Baptist Church, and an
other one of the leading citizens of gu,
county. A public meeting was again ad
dressed by Bro. Palmer in a very forciblean(
impressive manner who was followed b,
Bro. S. S. Stone with an earnest appeal t.

Female Doctors.

Mrs. Hicks, Editress Of the Petersburg
Kaleidoscope, speaks sensibly in the following
paragraph concerning Female Physicians:
Now, we are not a woman's rights woman.
We would not be a politician, or a general,
or a soldier, or a sailor, for any thing in the
world-but if nature, reason and civilization
teach any thing, it teaches, above all others,
that ,ooman should thoroughly understand the
science of medicine. Oh |! the precious lives
that have been sacrificed because was
ignorant of the simplest laws of her being
OH the beauty that has persisted, and the
homes that have been robbed of all JOY and
comfort, because acomdR was forbidden to
know what she should eat, or what she should
drink, or where-with-all she should be clothed.
Nature teaches it, reason commands 1t, and
Civilization should blush to deny it.

Let the Heart be Educated.

Battle the intellectual man in knowledge
as In an ocean; delve into the lin and dark
arcana of science and gather the rich gems
that add peerless lustre to its secret chdnF
oers; and train your mental powers until
they can rise with their own strength and
ride with Genius in her widest and most
daring heavenward fight. All this is COM
mendable and of good report but in your
grasping for the wisdom of the college, DO
not forget to educate the heart.
Unless the mind is properly balanced by
moral culture, the intellect becomes as a
highly fertilized garden that has not received
the gardeners care. The soil is enriched
and the seed planted, and being left unre-
strained In all its growths, the n~oxious weeds
spring up and overpower plants of utility
illustrations OF this truth may be seen in
every community. We all constantly see
men with giant minds, but leaving the great
garden of the man unrestrained by moral
culture, that which should be a blessing
proves a curse to the man and to his neigh
bors. We have seen men boarding up knowl-
edge as the greedy miser hoardes up his
shining gold, and we have seen it turn and
sting them like a fiery serpent because they
neglected to educate the heart Alright.
The errors Of the fool are but bubbles on
the great sea of life, but the follies of the
| wise man are hidden reefs on which a feet
| may founder. A man may be honored fol-
{ his researches in the dim wilderness OIL
science green l%aurels of honor may be pla
I, ced again and again on the brow while those
t with which it was first decked are yet fresh
S but for all this happiness pure and true viii
not be given unless the heart be educated
= The influence given out will not be so pur
r and enrolling. History will not so sacredl.
y embalm the memory of such a man. Hi
c name may 90 down through many genera
e tons, but it will not be so fondly cherished
nor will it be encircled with that sacred hal
of honor which fingers around those who's
h intellectual chaplet has been made brighte
IS and more glorious by moral worth.
In all things, therefore, let the heart b
educated. x.
