Rev. Mr.. Wingate's Address.

Some friend has sent us copy of Prest.
Wingate's Address before the Young Ladies
of Oxford Female College. We have read 1t
with great pleasure, and heartily endorse the
the Leisure Hour, in the following paragraph:
Rev. Mr.. WNGATEs ADDREss-We did
not have the pleasure of hearing this Address
delivered, and it was through the politeness
OF gentleman that we secured copy for
perusal, but having been thus fortunate. it is
with hearty appreciation that we say that
II is an admirable production. 1t is worthy
OF the literary taste and skill of almost anv
one, and for its originality of thought, and
compact vlgOr of expression, would add fresh
laures to those gentlemen of our State who,
on these pleasant reunions have gained the
greatest glory. There is a freshness of SEN
| tlment about this effort that we greatly ad-
miro. 1t is occasionally a little quaint in the
manner Of stating fact, and there are now
and then flashes of wit that 60 directly home
TO the mark; nor IS biting irony lacking to
give force and variety to the entertainment.
In word, it is verify one of the most excel
lent literary productions that the literature
OF our StaIe 1ras nIUIIeIIU Furnished, aud 10
calculated from its marked practical teach
lngs to do great good. The subject, SELF
CULTURE" which the Rev gentleman selected
for discussion, was happily chosen, and was
treated throughout with great logical clear
ness and with capital good sense Every
one who may chance to see this effort. should
not by any means neglectto read it.

A FACT !
Some newspaper, in speaking of the light
literature Of the present day, says

Some newspaper, in speaking of the light
literature of the present day, says
''You may read the New York Ledger for
year and scarcely find a .tact which will
make you wiser or better-all fiction, roman
ces, lies in velvet and feathers little fiends
equipped in smiles and crinoline big scoun-
drels IN epaulettes, and with love of a
moustaehe, turning the brains and stealing
the hearts of simpering maidens, the every
day history of life ingeniously belied and
genteelly outraged-and yet it always ends
beautifully !"
And yet hundreds of persons, who never
think Of taking home paper, spend three or
four times the amount in this vapid, abomin-
able trashl-a species of reading that, instead
of beneftting themselves and families, is ab-
soluteiy curse to them.
And are not the Editors of our home pa
pers greatly to blame for introducing such
papers to their readers They will insert
flaming advertisements of such papers as the
New York Prize, &C., for which they will
never get one cent, and thus help to starve
themselves out, besides being guilty of re-

The Clerk and Plow Bow.

Hunts Merchants Magazine says--The
young man who leaves the farm-field for the
merchants desk, or the lawyers or the doc
tors thinking to dignity or ennoble his toll,
makes asad mistake. He passes by that step
from independence to vassalage. He barters
a natural for an artificial pursuit; and he
must be the slave of the caprice of customers,
AMI the chance of trade, either to support
himself or to acquire fortune. The more ar
tifcial mans pursuit, the more debasing is
it, morally and physically. To test it, con-
trast the merchants clerk with the plow-boy
The former may have the most exterior pol
ish, but the latter, under his rough outside,
possesses the true stamina. He is the freer,
franker, happier and noblest man. Would
that young men might judge of the dignity
of labor by its usefulness rather than by the
superficial CLOSES it wears. Therefore we
never see mans nobility in his kid gloves
and toilet adornments, but in that sinewy
arm, whose outlines, Drowned by the sun,

Scraps from the Chief"

The worlds rivers and oceans are gathered
from little fountains. The pulse-beat of one
heart may be felt by a nation. The temper
ance reform was once but spring, lone,
budding thought. Its tides now influence
nations.
Certain views of human pride are easily
gratifed. Many men are satisfied to live and
die whisky drinkers.
The "noblest work of creation" has some
distinguished traits above the brutes Man
can drink, swear, and eat tobacco.
The army of drunkards is always full
Young recruits are always ready to fll the
gaps made by the dungeon or the gallows.
In the still night time and behind the shad-
ows, the dews fall to the earth. By the dim
light Of the stars they steal on their gentle
mission to wearied and fainting herbage.-
Beautiful as angels tears are they in the NOR
ming sunlight, trembling, and cleaning, and
blazing like liquid jewels on leaf and nod
ding blade. mo one ever knows what Igive
to such causes" was the remark of a friend,
who was charged with giving to the temper
ance cause for mere applause. Nor did the
public know. His own family never knew.
Yet his heart and palm were always open and
no grudging pittanee given The acts of such
persons are like dew. They 60 out on their
mission, unseen. But they give life and
beauty to humanity, and redeem it from the
charge Of utter selishness and love Of praise

Lotteries and Gift Enterprises.

These two rogues' traps, set to catch SIM
nIe people and defraud them of their money,
by decetful and lying pretensions, have been
reaping golden harvests during the hard
tines of which we have all heard so much
of late. The more brazen faced and impro-
bable the pretensons these swindlers have
set up, the more successful they have been
in quilting the weak and credulous.
OF Lotteries no one who looks at the mat
ter in cool, dispassionate manner can fail
to come to the conclusion, that they are
swindling institutions of the most approved
pattern. There is no possibility of the man
ayers losing anything, while the holder of
ticket has only one chance out OF large
number of recovering the sum which he
has expended in the purchase. Were the
drawings honestly made, and the prizes
:. promptly paid the case would be bad enough
: bat notwithstanding their promises, this is
r never done The drawings are made at some
: the land, who have no one on the ground in
# terested in seeing that justice is awarded them
r and, consequently, any amount of fraud ma
e be perpetrated with impunity. 1t is sig
'o nifcant fact that, while every few months
is announced that some one has drawn a ter
twenty or fifty thousand dollar prize, tn
name of the fortunate individual is neve
made known With this fact before him,
eious if he suspects that no such prize h;
ever been drawn
Of these Gift enterprises, the merest pine
back, brass baubles are imposed upon person
making purchases, while at the same tin
either old second hand books are sent, or
new ones aresent it is at price greatly abo1
what any respectable bookseller will sell IL
same works for. Not unfrequently the mo-
ey is kept and nothing sent in return. Ar
yet people seem to love to be cheated by sue
W ocamps.

Stirring Thoughts.

A writer in the Wisconsin Chief asks the
significant question: Whoever yet, on seeing
distillery, looked up and thanked God that
1t existed and that it was pouring out its
streams of blessedness to cheer and refresh
the way worn travelerg And then replies
No human nature is not so heaven-daring
as 10 look up and bless God for this. But
| the gushing fountain of pure, cool water, as
u bubbles up, asks permission to bless-and
the weary, thirsty traveller, if ever his heart
welled with grateful emotions, will send up
thanksgiving to Heaven for a free, pure.
cooling draught from the blessed fountain
Did you kind reader, ever make a compari
son between distillery and spring Of pure
cool water: Inot, just do it for one moment.

the curses Of the other The one was foun-

From out a gracious bosom
Our bud Of beauty grew;
1t fed on smiles for Sunshine,
And tears for dainty dew.
Aye, nesting warm and tenderly,
Our leaves Of love were curled
So close about our Rosalie,
White Rose of all the world.
Two flowers of glorious crimson
Grew>with our Rose of light;
Still kept the sweet heavens grated slip
Her whiteness sanity white.
In the wind of life they danced with glee,
And reddened as they whirled;
But whittier grew our Rosalie,
White Rose of all the world.
With mystical faint fragrance
Our house of life she filled;
Revealed each hour some fairy tower,
WheEsNinged hopes might build
We saw-though none like us might see
Such precious promise pearled
In the petals of our Rosalie,
White Rose of all the worba
But ever more the bright halo
Of Angel light increased;
Like the mystery of moonlight,
That folds some fairy feast.
Snow white, snow soft, snow silently,
Our darling bud up curled,
And dropti the grave our Rosalie,
White Rose of all the world.
Our Rose was but in blossom
Our life was but in spring;
When down the solemn midnight,
We heard the spirits sing.
"Another bud of infancy,
With holy dews impearled;"
And off they bore our Rosalie,
White Rose of all the world.
You scarce could think so small a thing
Could leave loss so large;
Her little light such shadows fling,
From dawn to sunsets marge.
In other springs our life may be
In hammered blooms unfurled;
But never watch our Rosalie,
White Rose of all the world.

Bro. GoRMAN :-It will, perhaps, be graft
flying to many, if not all, of the readers of the
age to know that in this community, the
cause Of Temperance has many warm, whole
souled advocate ;as proof ofwhich | submit |
the following brief sketch of the proceedings |
of the 3rd inst, in our pleasant little village,
hoping it viii find place in your columns: |
| The Division met at about half past 8
o'clock. A. NJ; and after making few pre-
liminary arrangements, we formed process

Bro. Isaac Jordan, Marshal; we then procee-
ded to the Methodist Z. Church, which was,
in few moments filled by large assem-
blage of both sexes, and all ages, from ruddy
youth to trembling age.
After an appropriate prayer by Rev. b. 5.
Hardy, the Mecklenburg and National De-
clarations of Independence were read-the
former by Bro Edward Carman, and the lat
ter. by Bro. J. H. Gaylord Then followed
the Address by Rev. B. F. Long, of Kinston,
which was truly feast to the mind and soul
ofeyery man, woman and child present, that
was capable of appreciating good thing
But, as did not take down any notes of the
address, and as hope to sec it soon placed
before your readers will not do the speak

outline of it, but will let it ''speak for itself
1t was an excellent thing, and evinced =
clear head and sound heart" on the part 0
the speaker The unanswerable argument
he adduced in support of his propositions
were sufficient to satisfy thinking and Ut
biased mind of the untenable position of thos
!, who endeavored to maintain that man ha
right, either social moral, or civil, to max
and sell spirituous liquors. During the who
time of his speaking he cnchained the after

The exercises were interspcrsed with e
cellent singing by the young ladies (Daug

which added not little TO the attractivene

FARMERS BANK.-The Elizabeth City Pio-
neer, of last week, has the following para
graph concerning the Farmers Bank at that
place:
The Plymouth merchants, as we learn from
the Oaol, have resolved not to take notes ofthe
above institution, under the impression that
it is not safe to do so. We would saw upor
good authority that the Bank is in better con
dition to-day than she has been for a lone
time past and daily improving. That she !;

WARN BATHING.-The warm bath Is a
grand remedy, and will cure the most viru
lent Of diseases. A person who may be in
fear ofhaving received infection of any kind.
as, for instance, having visited fever patient,
should speedily plunge into a warm bath
suffer perspiration to ensue, and then rub dry,
dress securely to guard against cold, and fin
ish off with cup of strong tea by the fire.
If the system has imbibed any infectious mat
ter, it will certainly be removed by this pro-
cess, if it be resorted to before any infection
has spread over the whole system. And even

WHAT IS LOST!

The moral, physical and intellectual injury
OF the ira tfic are among the strongest argu-
ments against its being either moral. respec-
table or right in it's operations. AND vet
there are other reasons of overwhelming
weight. It is ever working a consuming de-
struction upon public and private property.
1t Is the sworn antagonist Of industry thus
working an irreparable injnry to individual
and national prosperity. If the lives, hap
piness and character Of citizens were not in
volved, the results, as regards the loss in
dimes and dollars should arouse the indigna-
ton of the patriot against it. The folly of the
policy is annually Illustrated in every coun-
ty in the State. The record will bear us out
in the assertion that the annual average cost
to each county in the State for prosecuting
cases, Furnishing criminals and maintaining
paupers, caused by the traffic, amounts TO the
sum of Eighteen Hundred DolIars, while the
average sum received by each county for
license is only abount Sirty Dollars I This
is swelling the school fund with vengeance
is it not? MagnaEimous provision! Suct
IS an illustration of the policy Wer,
the pauperism crime, vice and expenses re
sulting from the prosecution of criminal.
caused by the traffic weighed in the scales
the money received for licensing the curse
would be but drop to the ocean. The seeds
Of vice, crime and death are legally sown
among the people; old men are cut down
and young men blighted, that an infamous
business may be legalized by adding few
dollars to the Literary Fund as a tribute for
its desolating carnage upon the life and hopes
of the citizens it enslayes -
