Spirit of the Age.

We inadvertently omitted to notice, at the
proper time, this Spirited and popular, and
unhinching temperance and excellent literary
journal, which, but recently entered on its
ninth year of existence. The Age is neatly
prin ted and ably edited by its talented and
courteous editors. We know North-Carolina
is abundantly able. as she will do, to sustain
an able Journal like the Age. This is an
Age of progress-and we hope this noble en-
tsrprise Ut uur friend, A. NJ. GoRMAN, Esq,
will meet with the greatest success. There
is no better or cheaper paper published than
the Age.-Grafe
Now this is What we call paying a compli-
ment genteelly. And it is the more appreei-
ated because it comes from one who speaks
his mind freely, and is not in the habit Of
paying undeserved praises. We thank his
Highness for his good opinion and well wish
es-and hope to be found pasturing in tai
clover, by the side of his Animalship fol
many years to come. May plenty Of pro

Temperance Societies.

We eften bear the assertion made, says
the South Carolina Times, that secret socie-
ties, for the suppression of intemperance,
have proved a failure. Such a fact, if it tx
listed, would no doubt be gratifying to those
who have opposed the cause, either from in
terest or prejudice but it would be truly
discouraging to those who desire the well be.
ing Of their fellow men. We are happy to
be enabled to state, from authentic informa-
ton, that such is not the case. The ~institu-
ton of the Sons of Temperance still exists
as vigorous as ever in many places in this
State, as well as throughout the Union
Other Orders, having the same object in
view, still flourish whilst the Good Samari-
tans are extending their organization in 9th
er States, and exertinga salutary and increas-
ing influence. The reports of the recent SEES
sion of the Grand Lodge show the Order to
be in a Furnishing condition even in Texas,

killing the devil with a Broad.axe.

Two fellows, at a public gathering, the
other day, drank some mean whiskey. and,
in common with many others, become wise
and loquacious. They were not so drunk but
what they could see others who seemed to be
more deeply intoxicated than themselves.
and this was perhaps the eause of their con-
fab as is hereby recorded. With the deepest
earnestness the one said to the other -
'Isay. Mac, what if there is a hereafter, as
the preachers call it, after ALI We fellers

When the readers informed that this con-
versation actually took. place between two

The Sky Clearing.

As we go to press, the news from all parts
of the financial community indicates that the
bottom of the panic has been reached. The
worst is over and we may now look conf
IDENTIFY for clearer weather and easier times.
In the last few days there has been amark-
ed improvement in the condition of affairs in
New York. The city banks made Wednes.
day a still farther discount of $1,000, 900,
which has done much towards relieving the
necessities of the business community. The
sub-Treasury has been coming up manfully
to the assistance of the banks, paying out
S600,0 600 Tuesday on account OF the redemp-
ton of government stocks. The California
steamers will add 81, 100000 to the specie on
hand. Meanwhile confidence, which from
the first has been scarcer than money, is be-
ing perceptibly restored. In Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, money matters
are looking up and the banks are making ar
engagements to resume specie payment. From
all of New England except Rhode Island the
accounts continue to be more cheerful. The
Boston banks have increased their discount
line S., 600, 900, and have largely added to
the amount of specie i'll their vaults.
With US from the beginning there has been
little or no occasion Tor a panic or for any
excitement. The banks in Richmond and
Petersburg now feel staunch and have begun
to discount literally.
In view of all these things, then, we can
only look for a speedy calming of the storm,
and an early restoration of confidence.

MARRIAGE.

Nature never did betray the soul that
loved her; and nature tells men and women
to marry. just as the young man is enter
ing upon lae-just as he comes to tho indie
~pendence of mans estate. just as the crisis OF
his being is solved, and it is to he seen wheth-
er he decide with the good. and great, and
true, or whether he sink and be lost forever
-matrimony gives him ballast and a right
impulse. War with nature and she takes
sure revenge. Tell a young man not to have
an attachment that Is virtuous, and he will
have one that is vicious. Virtuous love, the
honest love Of man for a woman he is about
marry, gives him an anchor for his heart /;
something pure and beautiful for which to
labor and love. And the woman, what u
purple light it sheds upon her path it makes
lie for her no day dream, no idle hour, no
painful shadow, no passing show, but some
thing real,earnest, worthy Of heart and head.
But most OF us are towards and dare not
think so; we lack grace, We are of little faith :;
our inward eye is dim and dark. The NO.
dern young lady must marry in style, the
modern young gentleman marries a fortune.
But In the meanwhile, the girl grows into an
old maid and the youth takes chambers
ogies at the nursery maids, and becomes a
man about town, a man whom it is DANCE
rous to ask into your house. for his business
is intrigue. The world might have had a
happy couple: instead, it gets a woman fret.

be, if "a general effort is made to effect it
