This Is an honest and earnest little book designed
to aid young people in becoming true ladies and
gentlemen. The author seems to desire to make his
readers something better than mere imtators of for
egn manners, often based social conditions radi-
cally different from our own--somehng better than
imiators Of any manners and has dwelt at greater
length and with far more emphasis, upon general
principles than special observances, though the lat
ter have their place in the work. 1t seems to have
been his first object to impress upon their minds the
fact that good manners and good morals rest upon
the same basis, and that justice and benevolcncc
can no more be satisfied without the one than will
the other.

Render unto Caesar the things which
are Caesars"


HENEvER a man comes to the gate of
Death through the hellish agency of wills
key, he no sooner passes through its awful
portals to the dread unknown beyond, than
a certain class of men, and they are those
who, bow the ~cringing knee to whiskey them
selves, are ready to stand up and assert that
it was not whiskey that sent their brother to
the grave, but some sudden and terrible dis
casa sole mn visitation of Providence. fla
terribl. crime is committed drunken man
murdered by another drunken man, whiskey
is exonerated by this same class and politi
cal excitement or something else is arraigned
as the instiga1Or of the outrage. Whiske
is ever held blameless by them-regarded
as an innocent lamb dumb before her shear
ers !" no matter how palpable the evidence
may be against it as the grand enemy Of
man. In their eyes it is too pure a creature
too holy a system to bring a railing accu-
sation against.
A drunken man is seen sitting by q tree a
few feet from a wbiskey keg at a public gath
sring. H is left in eat condition by his
fellow topers I" sober himself. He is found
in the same spot q few hours afterwards fall
len over add dead. A sworn jury declare
upon oath that they believe the man died
from intox cation and 10 sooner is the YER
dict made known, than those who had been
drunken with him hold up their hands in
amazement and reproach the jury with igno-
rance for rendering such a verdict, when eve
rything is 80 plain that the man died of
Apoplexy! No matter how evident it is
that whiskey causes the death of scores and
hundreds every year, the friends of the in
famous article will declare violently that
their cherished idol is innocent and blame
less, and if they can fall upon no other plau-
as a visitation of Providence. This is not
only unreasonable. but absolutely insulting
to Providence to arraign it and accuse it Of
the doings of whiskey.
It's really strange why men should be so
jealous of the character of their Enemy. 1t
is no respector Of persons-it strikes down
its best friends first, and those who cry out
against the verdict of impartial men for say
ing that whiskey was the cause of such an
ones death, will be the very next to be strick-
en- down. They are sinking now beneath
the assaults of the fend they press to their
bosoms-nature, in her agony, throws out
on their brow the glazing signal light of
distress and vainly shrieks for help. The
makers and venders-the drinkers and dying
may vainly strive to uphold the Ubiquitous
system above suspicion, they may shout mob
like " great is DIANA" but guilt is stamped in
characters that will not wipe out on every
vestage-on the chief corner stone-and on
the deep foundation of the fabric, and the
verdict of sober, honest men will so record
it.-Let justice be done. Render unto
Cesar the things which are Cesar's," and un-
to whiskey the things which are whiskey's |

who is he, and what is his business? To
answer this question truly, it may be em,
phatically said he is the vilest enemy to the
human family the world contains. Yes,
verify, if there be in this fair land Of ours,
an evil Of giant power, confined to no class
or to no individual, it is that influence exerr
ted by the grog shop keeper. 1t is true, by
his suayity Of manner and upright exterior,
he may gain a character for honesty and
respectability, and even receive the lauda-
tions Of his fellow-men, but still the insidious
influence Of bis death dealing business is
porvading all classes and poisoning every
fountain Of society. It Is polluting our
Courts Of Justice and halls OF Legislation
desecrating the Pulpit-corrupting society
IN all its rami6cations, laying its destructive,
blighting hand upon the young and rising
generation, and forcing them with hasty
strides TO irremediable destruction, or with
uaering certainty preparing them, not to
be benefactors Of their race, but foul destroy
ers Of all that is pure and good. If he, chen,
be this dangerous charsster, who is sapping
the foundation ofour b04ated free instisutions.
should not the voice Of eloquedce denounce,
the power Of tne Press be exerted, and the
influence Of the STATE sman be engaged, IN ar
resting this mighty evil2
Who is there that does not feel and witness
the blasting Influence Of the grog shop? la
the family circle, around the frcrslde, in our
social intercourse, un the highways, in the
house of God, the monster meets, confronts
as and worse than all, our laws and our
public men cherish, encourage, invite him,
to the work Of destruction in the communities
where we live Will the time never come
when our law makers and law. dispensers,
will seek TO elevate their fe~llowrmen, and
purify society from this desolating and cor
rupting evilf When they will understand
and practise the true Science of Government
"a science which teaches to advance the
general welfare and the aggrandizement of
the whole community-which teaches how
to preserve liberty pure and uncorrupted?
God speed the day when these degrading
influences shall be brought to an end; and
instead Of the grOg shop keeper being hailed
as a bensfactor and friend Of his race, as
some in this day of light and knowledge
would make him, he may be condemned and
avoided, until he be forced to seek some other
employment, Of benefit and advantage to
himself and fellow men,

An evil of the Traffic.

Into a discussion Of the slavery question
we have not had occasion to enter, beyond
and occasional and incidental expression Of
such opinions on the subject as are common
to oil the people Of the South.
WO war chiefly against the evils of intern
perance. The friends Of this cause in North
Carolina have hitherto labored in vain to put
down the liquor traffic. The people at large
have been in a measure deaf to the alarm of
danger, unless it came from the north, and
fhreatened the 'inssitutionsS But recent de-
fvelopments confirm the opinion we nave SO
often expressed, that the Liquor Traffic as
legalised in the State, is abused as a potent
engine Of mischief to the slave population.
Nine tenths Of the men who engage in the
traffic, will illegally trade with negroes, when
a safe opportunity is offered. Such oppor,
~tunities will and must occur in every neigh
borhood, in despite of the utmost vigilance.
The love Of liquor will lead white men, 9TH
erwise of COED character, to strange shifts
in order to crafty the g%nawing appetite en-.
gendered by intemperanco. This appetite is
equally potent in the colored race to break
down all moral restraints, in the effort to
crafty its craving. Hence a grog shop in
q neighborhood stimulates the negroes to
thieving, and in many instances becomes
the receptacle Of their plumber. These gar.
risons of Sat n corrupt and demoralizs the
negroes. They become dishonest and insub.
ordinate. Under the combined influence OF
intemperance and Of the demoralizing effects
Of the nefarious means to which 1T stimulates
them TO RESORT for its qualification, they be-
come prepared for any crime. No one can
fail to have been struck with the unusual
number Of murders recently committed by
negroes anon the persons of while men. ES.
cry week brings news Of some such a%trocity
and numbers have been hung for murder, OIL
lie under sente nee Of condemnation. From
the secrecy which necessarily surrounds the
liquor traffic with negroes, it may not be
possible to trace the influence of this traffic
in producing these murders but we will
venture to affirm that if the whole truth could
be developed it would be found that most Of
these shocking cr,mas are produced in
great degree by the liquor traffic.
This traffic should be abolished ; but sine,
the public mind is not educated to the poin
Of supppressing this evil, it becomes a duty o
every good Q itiEen to see that the law, defec
tive "a It 10. shall be enforced against its vic
p%ations.
