poor Gray had been the petted idol Of a fond
proud mother, his only living parent"
As my friend closed, we rose from the seat
and together walked toward the hotel, in ST.
lence for as | looked upon the contrasted
career of two who had with me planned and
dreamed dreams of high success as ardent
youth ever will, | saw where their life-paths
diyerged, and thought Of the many who like
Frederic Gray, lured by the gilded bats in
the path of intemperance, prefer it to the
less attractive way of Temperance, thought
less or careless of It's fatal ending, while arose
to my mind the question-When will Law
universally assume It's province, and inter
pose its bars as a safeguard for the weak ant
the tempted in the path of Intemperance?

ny We regret to learn from an esteemed
Correspondent, that the Commissioner of
the town Of Newborn, and the Justices of
Craven County Court, have receded from the
high and noble position they had taken, by
refusing to grant licenses to retail ardent
spirits in that ancient town. We had hoped
that, after the trial Of a few months suspen-
sion of these augmenters Of publicdisturbance
and private wrongs, the improvement would
have been so great in the community as to
cause them forever to be discountenanced by
the public authorities. But it seems our
hopes are doomed to disappointment-for
several of those miserable establishments
were chartered at the last term of the court.
Alas Alas who can tell the evil that will
be entailed upon that community by the
known, legitimate effects of these liquor mills,
these drunkard actories-established and char
tered by the sovereign state of North Carroll
IA. God only knows, and the great Judg-
ment day alone can disclose.
The two Hotels had been conducted for
some time without the ~appendage of a Bar"
At the last Court the Castor House" took
out license, but Gen. Cutler, the landlord of
the washington HOTEL" maintaining the
high position he had assumed, refused to
make application, though importuned to do
so. The result is the former has liquor in
It's Bar, while the latter does not. The issue
will therefore be, whether the best Hotel can
= be kept with or without the destructive bev-
erage and we think a discriminating public
: will not be long in deciding in favor Of the
t quiet, order, and decency always to he found
: at the latter. We commend it to all who
: visit the Athens of North Carolina"

10 our Patrons.

The old year, with its joys and sorrows, its
responsibilities and pleasures, has passed
away, and we enter upon the threshold Of
the new, with all its stern realities and plea
surable anticipations looming up before the
mental vision. And while gratitude inspires
our heart for the pleasures and successes of
the past, with a firm heart and ~resolute will
we look into the future, determined to do all
IN our power to make our gallant Craft-the
SPIRIT OF THE AGE-the same agreeable and
instructive medium Of conveying moral and
intellectual pleasures it has so proudly oc-
cupied in days gone by.
For more than six years we have stood at
the helm, amid discouragements, doubts and
difficulties, and labored with all cur powers
to build up a first class Family Journal in
North Carolina, at such cheap rates as would
enable every one to patronise it. Thanks to
the liberal and generous patronage we have
received, we have been enabled to do this. so
that now the Spirit of the Age has the largest
subscription list in the State. To our friends
| generally, and to a large circle of especial
) friends in particular, W are indebted for this
!. gratifying tact-and here, with a grateful
heart do we tender each and all our profound
thanks tor their partiality and kindness
and at the same time ask at their hands a
continuation, or even an increase of their eff
forts, to extend the circulation even to a
d greatly enlarged number. We promise all
. such as will do SO, that they shall be marked
b with cur special consjdcrution-to be mani
e tested in such manner as they shall appre-
ciate!
1t IS our purpose to make the SPIRIT OF
u THE AGE for 1856, far superior, in every re-
spect, to what it has ever been. We have
= now the facilities and means to do so-and
when we have gotten fully under way, we
feel sure our readers will award us with the
acknowledgement that we have fulfilled oul
promise.
But we want more passengers aboard ship
to Ample accommodations are prepared for fc,
en- thousand more than are now registered-anc
W we can safely promise all who take passage
ts a prosperous voyage and pleasant gales il

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF
FA Nj lily PLY SIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve pill which could be relied as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared TO meet that demand, and an extern
sve trial Of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical Pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the Directions, but all the advantages of
every other This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. Ii has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgatve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els This Is not. Many of them produce so much
l1iprg pain and rcvulsOn in the system as to more
t,an c0untcrbalanco the good to be derived from
them. These liHs produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels Being purely
vegetable no harm arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judici0usly Minute directions for their
n,c in the several diseases to which they arc ap-
pliciblc arc given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them,
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
VI Jaundcc, Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of APP
,stite, Iistlcssncss, Irritabty Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague Pain in the Side
aad Loins; for, in truth, all these but the
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aTcIicn, they afford prompt and relief in Cos
IN rncss Piles, Collie, Dyscntcry, Humors. Scrof.
ula and ScurSy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and iinpurity of the blood; in short, any
AMI every case where purgatiye is required.
They have also produced some singularlv sue
ccSsfui cures in Rheumatism, Govt, Dropsy, Gravel,
Eiyspclas. Palpitaton Of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
ttc and yigor They purify the blood, and, by their
stniulant action on The circulatory system, reno
yate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence occasional dose is advantageous, even
though serious dcrangcplrnt exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgativc medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves TO the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when i'll need OF
carhartic medicine.

that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
