NORTH CAROLINA ITEMS.


VALEDIcroRY SERMoN.--We learn from the
Wilmington Herald, that the Rev. Charles f.
Deems, d. D., of Wilmington, has been in-
vited to deliver the Valedictory Sermon be-
fore the senior class of the University of IN.
Carolina at the Commencement in June next.
NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SocIETY.-The
ninth annual meeting Of this society will be
held in Newbern on the third Tuesday in
May next. We have no doubt that the meet
ing will be a full one. The facilities for get
ting to Newbern are now as good as could
be desired, the Atlantic Railroad having been
completed to Goldsboro'. 1t is, no doubt, a
pleasure, as well as advantage, to the Medi-
cal fraternity of the State to meet together,
as brothers, once a year and interchange
opinions on the experience of a laborious
practice for the past year. 1t is right that
they should thus assemble, and impart to one
another all the knowledge in their power of
the causes and remedies for the cure of the
different diseases our variable climate is con-
tinually snbjecting the human system to.
MURDER.-We earnthat a foul murder was
committed in the lower part of Johnston
county, on Sunday morning last, the 18th
inst, on the person of Mrs. Mary A. Atkin-
son, wife of Alvin Atkinson, by a negro man
belonging to Loyit Atkinson, ESQ.,, of this
county. No cause, as yet, is assigned for the
foul deed. The crime was committed while
Mr.. Atkinson was away from home.
An inquest was held over her body, and a
verdict rendered, that she came to her death
by a blow upon the head by an axe in the
hands Of said negro. The negro made no at
tnmn+ RI ocoana an1 1ofa an SYo1oy ovoa.~o
he was taken into custody and lodged in the
Smithield jail Wilson Ledger.
RELIGIOUS REvIvALs.-A Greensborough
correspondent of the n. G. Presbyterian. says
We have a precious season at present.
Union prayer-meetings are being held at the
churches 25 young ladies at Edgewortt
have made an open confession of their faith
in Christ and the work goes on, not only il
the school but in the congregation"
The Beaufort Journal says-"The reviva
which has been progressing in the Methods
E. Church in this place, for the last two O
three weeks, still continues. There hav,
been about forty converts up to the presen
time, and the altar of prayer is daily atten
ded by a large number of anxious seekers o
religion. On Sunday morning last 80 per
sons-23 females and Z males-connecte,
with the church. May the good work go Of
and much good be accomplished !"
In Wilmington, Fayetteville and Chariot
the good work progresses finely ; and a
many other points in the State earnest relie
ious influences begin to predominant. /

Il is a fact worthy Of consideration, that in
the most exalted state Of morals, and in the
most intelligent, refined, christian circles, in
toxicating liquor is not tolerated. This is
M important fact, and one that should go We
W far in advancing temperance principles
To go far back from our own day for an IL
iustration, we remark that no one pretends
TO think that the first APOSTLES of the church
carried whiskey or anything like it with them,
or that il was offered to them as an entertain
ment at the houses where they tarried. What
assembly Of ministers, conscious Of their sa-
cred calling. would 'mingle strong drink p
What circle Of refined females would not feel
as much degraded by indulging in rum as in
swearing? What christian church would
not reject a proposition TO cnliven their meet
ings by the introduction Of the Intoxicating
glassp What parent, in looking out a school
for his child, would think to inquire Of the
teacher if an assurance could be given that a
plenty Of liquor would be given his child in
case he patronized his school If i~ntoxica-
ting liquor cannot be tolerated ip the most
moral, refined, intelligent, christian ~associa,
tians, why should not individuals discard it
in like manner !?

Our Advice.

GmLs beware of young men OF the but
teray order. Remember a good, steady lar
mer boy, or a sober and industrious mechanic
is worth ninety nine per cent more than all
the foppish trash aAoat. The glitter of a
dandy.iack, with a gold chain about his neck,
an honest %tailor's coat on his back, and a brain
less skull, is not a fair equivalent for the loss
of a good old fathers home, a kline old moth
er's care and counsel, and the profitable soci
etv of brothers and sisters.
Their affection viii cling to you beyond
tba rate Of the grave-while that of dandy
;ack5s Il put out the moment your patrimony
teaches his pocket, as effectually as a wad o
wet tow ~extinguishes a tallow candle. :

AGE....Devoted to Temperance,

ASNGULAR RESULT OF A SINGULAR Discus
sIoN.-It has been stated in one of the pray
er meetings in New York, that a club of pro-
fame infidels in Andover, Mass, were recently
discussing the subject of baptism, and using
the Bible to ascertain what it said about the
matter. The result of their study to know
what it taught on baptism, led six or seven
of them to exercise faith IN the word of God
and in Christ, and now they are rejoicing in
the Saviour.
AMHERST CoLLEGE-There is a great re-
viTal in The College. AstilL, progressive work,
increased in interest to the very last hour Of
the term, which closed on Tuesday. In the
upper classes there are not more than three
or four without a hope in Christ, and that in
all College there are not more than twenty
unconverted. There cannot be far from fifty
who have been very recently converted there.
YELLOW FEVER on THE SUsoUEHANNA.-A
New York exchange of Saturday, says:
T~wenty-one cases of yellow fever were sent
to the Marine Hospital from the frigate Sus-
quehanna yesterday morning. Several of the
sick arriving, died yesterday.

''Ye cannot drink the cup Ofthe Lord and
the cup Of devils"

In this age Of reform in regard to in
temperance, even in places where the spirit
Of reformation has very general influence,
there are individuals, even members Of the
church, 50 given up to drinking and traffic
ing in intoxicating liquors, that all the re-
provings Of a stricken conscience, the cries
of the ruined, the commands of God, and the
odium ofpublic opinion combined, cannot re-
strain them or turn them from their evil course.
They resist everything and still drink the cup
Of death, and, in some instances, those hold
ing important stations in the church evince
no shame in dealing out this article of ruin
and death to their fellowmen. OH for an
other Paul to cry aloud to the churches Of
to-day as he didt to the early christians aye
cannot drink the cup Of the Lord and the cup
Of deols."
Our hopes for an universal reform rests
with the young. Let the young turn with
shame and sorrow from such instances of in.
consistency and guilt, and shun a vice SC
debasing to the mind-so deadening to the
soul-so hardening to the conscience. =

For the Spirit of the Age

Mr.. EDITOR 1t may be interesting to
some of the readers ofthe age" to hear how
the temperance cause is progressing in a com
which has been so devoted to the
cause of Bacchus. 1t is gratifying to say,
that the influence of the temperance cause is
now being felt throughout the entire commu-
nifty and that many inebriates who advoca-
ted the cause of rum, have been convinced of
its deleterious effects-abandoned their course
and taken refuge under the Egis of the in
sigma of temperance, and are now zealously
indicating it's principles.
We have met with great opposition and
have been almost environed by liquor dealers,
but maugre their efforts-our number con-
tinues to increase, and we hope ere the lapse
of many months, to have one Of the largest
and most flourishing Divisions this country
has ever been blessed with.
Some of our opponents have made many
gloomy predictions concerning our Order,
and doubtless would rejoice at our downfall;
but we expect, by indefatigable efforts, and
with the motto, labor vincit omnia, to drive
from our midst a curse which has long been
rife, and finally reach the goal aimed at.
We held a public meeting on the 10th inst.
at the camp ground, near Rowan Mills and
after hearing two interesting and instructive
speeches delivered by Doctors Foard and
Wood, the d. G. w. P. proceeded to install
the Officers publicly. Several persons Joined
and there were others proposed for next
meeting. We design holding publicly
semi-quarterly meetings, during the Summer
and Fall. When our new room, which will
soon be in course of construction, is compile
ted, we hope to have the assistance of the la
dies, (may they all be blessed with temperate
h~usbands) who are co-eficient in every noble
enterprise. We intend making a strenuous
effort to increase your number of subscribers
and hope, shortly, to be enabled to send you
a club.
May you be blest with prosperity and lon
gevity and may your hebdomadal long con
tinue to visit and brighten thousands o fire
sides, and serve as a beacon light to guild
wavering man through the labyrinths of life
Respectfully yours, etc.
