Snow IN APRIL. The Baltimore Clipper
of the 23rd says There was a regular snow
storm in this city, early, yesterday morning,
which lasted for a short time, the snow, how
ever, melting as fast as it fell. We learn
that in Richmond, Washington, and along
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
and in other directions, there was considera-
bic snow on Monday. OF a verify is this
/" winter lingering in the lap of spring"

The way to. do il.

We notice from the Georgia Crusader that
the Temperance men of that State are raising
a fund of $1,000 with which to pay Hon. B.
II. overly, for him to canvass the entire
State. Their Temperance paper is also con
s%tantly boasting of increased subscriptions
and of permanent aid afforded in sustaining
it. Such indications denote g certainty of
success in their efforts to redeem the " Empire
State of the South" Hear how the Editor
exults. Wish we could do SO toe: "Our list
has been rapidly growing during the whole
year, and O! how buoyant itmakes a servant
feel, who is laboring to ameliorate the con-
dition of his race, to learn that his labors
are appreciated. We have many warmheart-
ed friends in all parts of our State, and
through their influence, our list of subscrip-
lions has increased rapidly and extensively
during the present year. We hope soon to
number our subsc ribers at fifteen thousand.
Send in your names, our list is like a New
York Omnibus, -eeeeY .ffaU. Tell me not
that Georgia is ~retrogading in regard to this
important subject, when her citizens manifest
such interest in Temperance Journals ~

Decisions.

"VANITY of v~anities, all is vanity :" a
wise man once exclaimed upon reviewing all
the works lone under the sun. Tie world
is full Of delusions-man is ever grasping
after some phantom that Poetry has painted
as the great talisman of life, which, if secured,
would render him happy in all things, and
happily for the man if sober Philosophy dis
peis the phantom and shows him that lie was
g~rasping after a delusion.
From the cradle to the coffin man trcads a
pathway hung with deluding flowers and
scenery; they swing boughs hung with gol-
den fruits, and clothe the distant prospect in
beautiful garniture. If we pluck tie fruit
and eat, we find it as bitterness and ashes,
and as we tread the pathway the beautiful
prospect in the distance becomes bleak aud
arid rocks.
Far of fields look green" How beauti-
full the distant hills do look. exciaims the
young man just entering the great highway
of life. The Past he thinks has been u mock
ery-the Present seems dali and spiritless-
but the Future, the glowing Future, is burth-
ened with promises and lie bends the shout
der to the task Of rushing forward 10 reach
the glorious Future and gather its fruits of
gold. But the Future is ever ahead and he
grasps and grasps until he grasps the cold
pillars of the grave. Yet he is comparative
ly happy in his decisions. The promise that
is always held out Of better things ahead
cheers him on in his struggles. Decisions
are the bright spots ia his life, and if he
would be happy he should not be in haste to
grasp the gem-he should not too carefully
investigate it lest the phantom dissolve in
air and leave him to grasp and grasp again.
How smooth the far away mountains seem!
And the life traveller longs to walk up their
grassy slopes and rest in its.blue shades; hut
when the mountain is brought near, it rises
boldly up towards the sky, a tower Of rocks
and crags defying man to scale its rugged
heights.
Dreary indeed would life be if it was not
for the Poetry of its delusions by which the
travel stained pilgrim is urged on to brighter
and more promising prospects ahead.

Extract of a letter, dated LoUIsBURG, April
22d.
We are now adding to our Hall a beautiful
front, thereby charging our borders so as to
make room for more extended operations,
and especially for the ladies, having already
voted to admit them into our Div.-as soon
as our improvements are completed. We
have not a licensed shop or tavern, or any
other place for the sale of liquor, either in
our town or in the whole county. With near.
ly every Justice in the county on the bench,
all application were unanimously Tgected-
not a single one voted for them This is
the second year of our Franklin county pro
hibitory law. The Town Council imposes a
tax OF SO on all persons selling by the quart,
which they have the power to do under the
Rev. Code ride chapter on Towns. So that
with the 5 per cent on their purchases i'm
posedby the State, they have "ahard road to
tra6el."
Extract of a Letter from Yadkin Couaty:
The Temperance cause is progressing some
in this county. We are all standing firm
together and our Division is reviving again
at Sloan. We have taken in several ladies
as visitors, and it is having a very s%alutary
effect on the members. They are turning
out better. We are looking ahead to a bright
future, confidently believing victory soon
will be ours. Victory is our watch word.

At a public meeting of our Division last

The Mnrn;uo Star


The Morning Star has proven herself
10 be not only a very fne, but a decidedly
fast packet. Her recent trial trip from St.
Louis TO St. Joseph is hard 10 beat. and it
is question in our minds if better time
can be made this season. We were fur
nished with the following memora ndum of
the trip up BY our friend Joe C. Johnson,
who is an officer on the boat, and adds
much to her popularity.
. The morning Star left St. Louis Thurs
day evening, with sixty tons of freight and
full OF passengers. -ss-e~
. Thursday night. lost three hours in
a storm; made Jefferson City Friday at
noon, in 81 hours; TO Lexington, "A hours
81 minutes; Kansas, Sd hours; Weston,
60 hours 2 minutes; Atchison, 81 hours
25 minutes. Making fifteen landings for
freight and passengers and running against
a heavy rise from BoonvilIe to Kansas
making the quickest trip ever made up the
Missouri river. Should we have had good
clear nights and no rise, the Morning Star
would have made the run eight hours soon
err
The Railroad packet left Jefferson
City at the same. time we left St. Louis.
We overhauled her at Camden, and run
her out of sight in twenty-five minutes,
passing some four boats on cur way up,
all having from "a to d hours the start Of
US
Up 10 this point, the Morning Star made
the best time on record, it being a little
ahead Of the Polar Stars ..qucs TRIP
which was two days and twenty hours 10 ST.
Joseph. Between here and ST Joseph she
lost several hours Ly taking on large Io,
Of wood. which proved to be too green to
make sufficient steam to run the boat. As
it was. the Morning Star made the ruu
from ST. Louis to St. Joseph in two DAYS
and twenty one hours, including stoppa ge.
and loss OF time by storm and high water
Fhe erroneous report credited by many
that the Star was not fast Loaf, is now
satisfactorially contradicted. Size has a

grant stole from a landlord of the Peoria
House in this city, on Sunday evening,
$3.50 and valuable books and papers. He
has probably gone to join Lanes vaga-
bonds who are marching across Iowa to

The Canvas in Atchison County.

We are sorry to see disposition on tie
part of few designing men, for the sole
purpose of elevating themselves to office
to get up e local feeling" and " local
prejudice much to the injury Of the Pro-
Slavery party in this county. We know
that some who have announced themselves
candidates have wilfully misrepresenied
l,lcts-haye made assertions which they
knew at the Time to be false, to incite
portion Of the citizens of one section OF
the county against the other. We caution
our friends against all such inaposfors, for
they are not good Pro-Slavery men, and
would willingly sacrifice the party, and
lis glorious principles, TO ride in office over
its downfall. No man has the good OF
the party at heart, who is not willing 10
make some sacrifices for the party; and
when we see men attempting to force
themselves upon the people, we invariably
question their orthodoxy. 1t has been
falsely asserted that the leading Pro- Sia-
very men in this city have already select
ed set of candidates to erepresent this
county. To orr certain knowledge, no
such ticket has been decided upon, and
the men charged With SO doing have not
as vet Expressed preferences for any cam
didatc, CT sFe even pledged to the support
OF anyone. We think that some OF the
candidates now out, pretending to be Pro-
Slavery In sentiment, are unworthy the
support of that party, and We could never
be induced 10 support such milk and wa
ter characters. There are men In Atchi-
son county, whose opinions and views on
the slavery question are well known and
understood Nten who are undoubtedly
sound. and who do not court freesoH sym
pathy. Il is our duty then to select from
that class ticket which will command the
confidence and respect, and secure the un-
divided support of the party. Some OF
che candidates now out, we think, are
sound men, and If endorsed by conven-
sion we will cheerfui,y support them; but,
as we before stated. there are others who
are only using the cloak Of Pro-Slavery to
hide their abolition sentime nts; and, OF
such, we warn our friends to beware.
