ORIGINAL PAPERS,
For the Spirit of the Age.
Unbelieving Husbands.

The most trying condition in which a
woman with inclinations to piety can be
placed in this life, is to be yoked with an
unbeliever, who does not sympathize with
her, while she does not conceal from him
whom she loves as she does her own soul,
the uneasiness and anxiety felt for his fu-
ture destination. We pity her, and COM
miserate him who can gaze upon the gran
deur, and glory, and beauty of the eternal
universe, and behold not Him who is over,
and with, and above all-one whose in
tellect the light of revelation never pene-
trated, who can gaze upon the sun, and
moon, and stars, and upon the unfading
beauty of the sky spread out SO magniG-
Gently before him, and say it is the work
of chance. The heart of such being can
be nothing but cherries void No CLEAN
of light from heaven penetrates the black
ness of the delusion. The wreck of his
mind is utterly remediless; and passion,
prejudice and superstition have reared their
temple on the ruins of his intellect.
What to him is revelation from on high
but sealed Book. He sees nothing about,
or around him that evinces the existence
of God, and therefore the promises con.
tained in his word fail to give him any
comfort, and the judgments denounced
against him, he as little regards as the
stern oak does the approaching storm
How dreadful is his situation when com.
pared with that of the true believer. Anc
how unhappy must that woman be who ha.
for companion man of such character
and dares not rely upon the arm of hin
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1856-10-15

A CURE FOR CANcER.-Mr. David
Culpepper, of Russell county, Ala, re-
quests US to publish to the world, for
the benefit of the afflicted, that he has
been cured of Cancer by the use of the
following recipe, and that he believes
il is an infallible remedy for this dread
full disease:
Recipe.-Take equal quantity Of the
roots of white ashe, black sumac, and
fat lightwood or pine, and boil them in
water until strong tea is made, and
use it for constant drink in place of
water, tea, coffee, milk dali other be-
verages, and eat nothing salt or greasy.
Take new tar and simmer it over slow
fire until it forms tough wax and ap-
ply it in shape of plaster to the can
/, Ger, over which first sprinkle corrosive
sublimate; the plaster and corrosive
sublimate to be renewed every day or
every other day as most convenient :
the cancer to be kept dry. If this rem
edy is followed, without regard to pain
or swelling, which will both be great
and all stimulants are refrained from
Mr.. Culpepper guarantees a perfecf
and speedy cure. We give the recipe
for what it is worth, without KNOWN!
any thing fits value.-GeOrgia Times

CHAPTER ".

1t is said death loves shining mark and
so does the demon of drunkenness. How
many bright stars from the galaxy of states
men, warriors and poets have been swept
away by the enchantment of the wine-cup,
and the armament in which they might
have shone in splendor, been left darkened
with the stygian clouds of alcohol? Let
genius plume her wings and begin to soar,
and straightway the shafts of 'the all-per-
vading destroyer are aimed at her; and
alas too often they pierce her vital part
and bring her down from her proud height
to hutter and expire in the dirt and filth of
vice and degradation. Let talents cnthrone
itself upon its proud predestal and draw to
it the love and admiration of those by whom
it is surrounded, and forthwith it is assault
ted with all the powers of the prince of in
temperance; and often-O, how often does
the strong intellect that sways the hearts of
millions which the fire of its eloquence or
the melody of its song, yield to the cunning
tempter and become his prey. With fas-
cinating allurements he draws his captives
on, along fowery paths, to plunge them at
last into the abyss of destruction.
Six years ago the talented and noble
hearted young Horace Laverne had led to
to the altar the beautiful and pure hearted
Julia Clairmont; and never did woman love
her husband with more devotion than she.
J Her every thought of happiness was linked
with him-he was the idol of her soul, the
centre ofall her aims and purposes. They
settled down in neat little cottage in the
outskirts of the village of s., Mr. La
verne was Of literary turn of mind, and
the long evenings were spent around the
cheerful fire in reading and conversation
: His occupation was that of merchant, and
: how sweet it was to return at night from
the business of the day into the bosom O
: his family.-The smile of affection evel
4 welcomed him there, and all was neat ant
cheerful. In one year from their marriag
i the little Marion was born, another hon
attraction to draw the father heart to hi
. pleasant freside and bind it there.
