L" Paddle your own Canoe p

Young man, paddle your W canoe =
The canoe in which you ride down lifc's riv-
or should be your own, for many reasons
Look on the river and see that young man
gliding away so easily in the gilded canoe
purchased by rich friends and relatives. He
paddles it with hired hands, while he Tolls
back. in lazy ease, gazing upon the unsub-
%stantial shadow of himself in the smooth wa
ters on which he rides. By and by, the hired
hands grow careless in their padding, and
the canoe, with it's freight, is dashed upon
the breakers and wrecked in the rapids. II
he comes to the surface again he finds his
hirclings have abandoned him, and that he
is the slave of a wreck When he might have
been the master of u fortune, had heonly pad
died his own canoe.
Brother, paddle your canoe. If you
are favored with rich parents and friends
who can make you q donation OF one, see
that you earn one by your WI worthiness
Ifyour canoe be dug out by your own hands,
you will paddle it with more care than 9th
erwise. In high purposes, in noble resolves
in generous deeds, in purity, in honesty, II
endurance, in struggles, in achievements anc
in victories, let the widening waves of you
paddle be seen by all on the river as yol
brayely pull away! Let your waves over
ride and swallow up the smaller waves tina
rufie the bosom Of the busy river.
Pull away! If the paddle breaks Will
pulling against the foaming rapids, have an
other ready and if you have but one, pul
away with the old one. Pull AWAY bravel
though the waves and the rapids beat strong
ly and firmly against you. Don't relax tn
grasp upon the paddle. One pull lost, ma
drive you in the rapids and dash you asundel

you have built it by your own strong wi
and It's planks will not part asunder. Pu
away as you glide down the river, and 500
you will find yourself in a better haven an

Da~ A Brother writing from Fayetteville,
speaks Of Gen. Cary's speech in the Baptist
Church in that place
The two Divisions, numbering seventy-fve
members, formed procession and marched to
the Baptist Church (which was kindly of
fered to u.s. where we found a large and
highly respectable audience, (although the
night was very inclement. After prayer
by Rev. d. S. Williams, the Rev. James
Mcdaniel, Pastor Of the Church, introduced
the General to the audience in a very hand
some manner, alludirg TO his long service in
the cause, hoping tbathis effort tonight might
be beneficial to US, and extending a hearty well
come to him. The General arose at half past
8 O'Clock, and as our town clock tolled the
hour of eleven, he was drawing to a close one
of the most able and argumentive speeches
that | ever heard and ! am endorsed in the
opinion by all that heard it. Men who were
opposed to prohibition are now strong for the
law and no one who will go and hear him on
that subject and the liquor traffic, but will be
convinced his arguments are unanswerable.
His manner will gain for him warm friends
wherever he may 90. He has here made
some wara friends and strong advocates for
the Maine@Law. He was disappointed in
not having his appointment in this place for
two or three days. The citizens are anxious
to have him here again, and [ think if he
comes again that Fayetteville can be carried
by a large vote for prohibition. IF he will
canvass the State, | think we will have a
law to that effect soon. 1776.

The Pickled-Rod Pamphlet.

l am glad to see, Mr.. Editor, that a sufi-
cient amount has been subscribed to induce
you to the publication of this
Tract. which will contain the Report Of the
Committee on Propositions and Grievances,
as we'll as the Letters in reply thereto. AT
least $4,000 copies ought to be circulated
among the people. In order to do this the
sum of Sc must be subscribed by every coun-
ty in the State. This is indeed a pitiable
amount for q whole county to raise, and l
hope that no county will fail to contribute
this small amount. If an active friend Of
the Temperance cause will only take a sub
scription with him at any public meeting, he
can very easily obtain the trifing sum of Sc
toward the publication of the pamphlet men
toned in the head ofthis article.
All we want is light upon the subject of
temperance legislation. The people need
only to be convinced of the necessity and
utility of a prohibitory law, and they will
vote for it AZ the ballot box.
Let a majority of our people read the
Pickled-Rod Letters, and hear Gen. S. T.
Cary on the subject of prohibitory legislation,
and we need fear nothing at their hands,
Give them these Letters, and six months
service from Gen. Cary, and they will give
you a %prohibitory law. Employ these agen.
cies, and the traffic in liquor is a trade doom.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

A'
Mr.. EDITOR: An incident recently occurred
in our Division and community, which is |
think worthy of notice: A Brother of our
Division (Cross Plains Division, No. 53,)
lost his dwelling and kitchen, together with
the most of his furniture, by fire, which al
most if not altogether Frustrated him.
Without assistance his condition would have
been truly deplorable. No clothing was left
them besides what were in use at the time,
except a few articles of little value, and no
money to buy others. In this strait, a mem
Der Of the Division volunteered his services,
and by the cooperation of the ~neighbors
and brothers, have entirely reinstated him,
and he to day is the conscious recipient of
the beneficial regards of his friends and fell
low members. A new house, far superior
to the old one, is now erected and furnish
ed his purse is r~eplenished, and he to-day
afirms that he is in better circumstances
than ever before. Two days after the disas-
ter, there were near a hundred hands en-
ployed in the construction of another house,
and in less than q week new buildings oc-
cupied the sites Of the old. Something over
a hundred dollars was given him in money,
besides the assistance rendered him by the
Division.
Our Division at Cross Plains numbers a.
bout 55 noble and true hearted Sons who
will subscribe to nothing short of total pro-
hibition. This spirit is pretty generally
manifested by the people in this county
The tippiing business is about extinct and
the reason supposed is that the profits won't
pay for the license. The quart system still
exists but meets with poor encouragement
and we think thatere long too we will Danish
forever from our midst the demon alcohol
So much for Robertson, the county of still.
houses, in Tennessee. ASUBSCRIBER.

east of Jonesville, l concluded to attend
The classes were successfully called up and
examined on their various studies, all of

and composition from a student of each
department. succeeded, which were very
good. After these the annual address was
delivered by DR.. Henry Wilson, of Doweltown,
who did great honor to himself and to Yad-
kin Institute. After taking some refresh
ments the crowd again assembled at the
the Academy to hear the remaining portion
of compositions and speeches which were
quite interesting. This school, though yet
in is infancy, is well worthy of patronage.
1t is situated in what has long been termed an
unenlightened neighborhood, but at present
being under the influence of a good male

refinement will prevail through this section
of country as much as any other.

and, repudiating all connection with Wings,
Democrats, or Americans, issued a call for a
State Convention, to nominate State officers.
The tone Of the resolutions looks to the for
nation Of a general Southern party, in opposi-
ton TO all others. The Democratic State
Convention of Georgia, which met recently,
adopted resolutions approving the principles
OF the Kansas bill, recognising no utilization
with any party which does not do the same,
and declaring that they are in favor Of dis

the District Of Columbia, or refusal to admit
any new slave State, or the inter State slave

Ten Nights in a Bar Room, and what I saw
Thereby T. S. Arthur. Price rs cents. This
new temperance volume, by Mr.. Arthur, comes in
just at the right time, when the subject of restric-
tive laws is agitating the whole country, and good
and true men everywhere are gathering up their
strength for a prolonged and unfinching contest.
1t win prove a powerful auxiliary in the cause.
Ten Nights in a Bar-Room' gives q series of
sharply drawn sketches of scenes, some of them
touching in the extreme and some dark and ter
rible. Step by step the author traces the down.
ward course of the tempting vender and his infat-
uated victims, until both are involved in hopeless
ruin. The book is marred by no exaggerations,
Int exhibits the actualities of bar-room life, and
the consequences flowing therefrom, with a severe
simplicity, and adherence to truth, that gives to
every picture a Daguerrean vividness.
