feel the cold land as she passed the
poor creature, and took a few steps aside, as
if she feared her person might be contami-
mated by coming in contact with so much
poverty and wretchedness, she travis her
furs the more closely about her, and sticks
her little gloven hands the deeper into her
warm muff.
For what did the Almighty place mar on
this globe? Was it that selfish ones should
luxuriate and riot on their inherited patri-
mony, while their poor neighbors are suffer
inc for want of necessities of life Was it
that each might live for himself alone-hug
his wealth to his bosom or, was it that they
should, in their prosperity, praise Godfor His
mercies, and in their deep gratitude, keeI
Him in remembrance, and do His will by
dispensing blessings plentifully unto those
around them?
How can any expect Gods blessing unless
they follow the holy examples of His Son
and do good to those around them-unles
they fulfill the mission left them by Hin
that said, " Inasmuch as We did it unto tn

R9T The temperance portion of every COM
munity must either be willing voluntarily to
tax themselves an occasional dollar for the
support of the temperance enterprise, and the
maintainance of the temperance press, or
they must pay the i~nvoluntarily and rum
imposed tax which must be collected to sus-
tain the paupers and criminals the rum traffic
manufactures. Now who will not agree with
US in the opinion, that it is wiser, and more
economical to pay a small sum annually for
the support of those agencies which are de-
signed to suppress the infamous traffic in
pauper and criminal making drinks, by the
diffusion of the principles of total abstinence,
and the correction of a false public sentiment,
than to pay a much larger annual tax for the
building and maintenance of w~ork-houses
and jails, and the support of the paupers and
criminals the rumsellers are continually send
ing thither.

SIL0AM, Nov. Sd, 1850.
Mr.. EDITOR The 31st of October was a
proud day for Surry Division, No. GA, S. of
/. According to appointment we met at the
Church for celebration a large number of
persons were assembled, both friends and foes
Of Bachus, to see and hear how the good
creter might be disposed of.
The Division opened, and after suitable
arrangements, the congregation was admit
ted, the l33d Psalm was read, and our OPEN
ing ode sung. After prayer, the Rev. j. NJ.
Gum was introduced to the audience who
shot close and hard, as usual, and was fol-
lowed by Brother Roby of Yadkin, who
handled the subject in a mastery manner to
the satisfaction of all our friends. He was
followed by Brother Patterson in a pointed
and forcible manner, after which a process
sion was followed by the ladies, the rear
brought up by the Division, and marched
out into the grove to a table that was pre-
pared and loaded with the good things of
this back woods country, to which we done
ample justice. l have no doubt of the hap
Ply effects produced, and old Bacchus with
shattered horns and badly bruised, had to
drag him away.
Alter dinner the Division returned to the
room and initiated two young men, more

For the Spirit of the Age,

Mr.. EDITOR: Among the friends of tenn
perance, it is ever a matter of sincere gratih-
cation to know, that although temperance
principles may wane in one place, they rise
and wax stronger in another. The I'd day
of November, at Island Creek, in Duplin
county, full proof was made that the friends
Of the cause are not all dead, neither are
they asleep. On the morning of the I'd inst,
the people began to collect together at the
usual meeting place of Island Greek Division,
and before midday there were enough pres
ent to fill a large house and all out of doors
besides. After the usual p%reliminaries, Mr..
D. Stanford, of Kenansville, delivered an ad-
dress rcplete with sound argument and apt
illustration. Afterwards the writer made a
few remarks, and the crowd were invited to
dinner. The table erected in the grove, was
extensive, the crowd was immense, but the
provisions made for the qualification of the
appetites were more immense. All things
appeared to be right, and everybody seemed
gratifed. 1t was a pleasant crowd, met on
pleasant day, in q pleasant grove, with pleas
ant provisions for their enjoyment. So mucl
SO that in after time it will awaken man,
pleasant recollections. E. l.. p.
