the Roman cross. Browns of wrath and /
Indignation were bestowed on the Apos- !
ties when they went forth to do the will Of
Him who sent them. Thus we see, nv
friends, that animosity exists in greater
or less degree to every good cause.
But the other side of the picture pre-
sents equally as disgusting a spectacle; a
heart-rending scene that makes each hair
stand on end, and harrows up the soul
For besides the aggregate amount annual
ly spent for this vile poison, we find the
penitentiary filled and the graveyard poo
pied. Nor IS this all. The young widow,
writhing in the anguish of despsir Ger the
lifelcss corse of her husband, ssHo died
the death of the inebriate. The aged mat
ron famishing Ger the grave of a ruined
son.. The orphans tear and the drunkard's
bier, are all scenes of striking ignominy on
the blood stained pages of our nations
history. "Methinks, if you would know
how visitations of calamity affect the
plous soul, It's shown We there
Rome,- the mistress of antiquity, whose
princely ruins men gaze on with admiration
and awe, crumbled iato ruins with licen-
tiousness perched on its Ioftiest domes.-.
Greece, the land Of poetry and song
where Virgil strung his Tyre in behalf of
Aeneas, and Demosthsnes shook the Mace
donian throne in urging the Atheneans
against Philip and his aost where SIRENS
voice echoed over the Olympian Mills =
Twas then and there Alcohol eclipsed its
star OF destiny and rudsness mantled it in
the gloom of eternal night.
Oh! rum, thou cause of woe to man,
How long will be thy rsign,
Shall rudeness blight thishappy land
Our blissful homes profne?"
Methinks I behold the grim phantom
fitting in ecstacy, delighted at his sue
cess, as with the pen of tyranny he writes
in Lines of fire on the walls of time:
Cease We mortals to complain,
For ever more will te my reign"
But let US hope for better things. We can
by one unanimous effort, by one universal
exertion hurl the tyrant invader from this
free land. It is now optional with you
whether or not you will longer remain sub
ject to the incarnate device and unimagin-
able horrors Of Alcohol. May you now
reflect that you stand as it were on the
very verge of a precipice, whose fatality
rivets its victim, whose void is too deep to
return an echo; on the one hand honor
! stands clothed in the habiiiments of great
"a oas an the other /" giant despair is visible
May you so shape your destiny thatyou car
! be enabled to say
"Oh life, secure from guile, and pure,
; To thee my heart clings ever;
With all its might, and fond delight,
To change from thee, no never"

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1858-03-10
For the Spirit of the Age
Look not upon the Wine.

There was respectable family some
where in the good old North State, whose
name | need not give; but they ranked
high in society, were born in the higher
walks of life, and seemed to have all the
comforts needed to make them happy
Wealth, friends, birth, honor, a smiling
father, an intelligent mother, loving broth
ers and sisters, all, all that earth could af-
ford pleasure, seemed to be combined to
make them happy.
But there was serpent coiled in the
bosom of that family; there was poison
Gus monster bent for the stroke, not at the
heel but at the heart of some of the bright
eyed youths of that happy family. Yet
they handled it, and kept it as their near
est bosom friend. They had not been
taught to look not upon the wine when
it giveth its color in the cup" but rather,
do as your ancestors have done before
you" There was gay youth among
them; he had a powerful intellect, re-
fined education; and was probably looked
upon as one of the future standards of his
country. He chose a bride from the cir
Gle in which he moved, equally refined in
education, with considerable portion OF
wealth. Many friends wished A. a
lovely and happy life with his sweet bride.
All seemed to promise future happiness.

1t was one cold evening in the month Of
February, the snow, which was tolerably
deep, had not yet began to melt, when a
man came reeling forth out of village
Having gone some distance his strength gave
way, he reeled and fell, in the mud, water
and snow, where it is quite probable he
would have frozen, had he not been discov'
cred. This was A.! The serpent
had made himself known; it had strickel
its blow, and though A. yet live
and might reform, yet it is almost an i'm
: possibility. He has, as it were, made
!. league with the fell monster, and will moi
|, recognize him as his enemy.
Such is the influence of Alcohol. Yes
man, who is alone capable of attaining t.
e such state of holiness as to have sweet
! constant union and communion with tn
Holy Trinity, can thus sink himself beneatl
;, the brute creation! Temperance! tho
glorious, heavenly messenger, hasten tn
S time when thou shalt wave thy banne
VIGOROUSLY over the sons of men.
: O We citizens of North Carolina, yo
h who love to talk of your liberties, and c
g the bravery of your fathers, come let I
d cast off yoke that is more severe tina
y that of Great Britain. who will com
g to the help of the Lord, to the help of tn
n Lord against the mighty!" Let it r.

TEMPERANCE.

Amid the various "reminiscences of the
past which in thick profusion mantles our
memories, We find many things to disturb
the happiness which we are wont to enjoy.
Translucent thought points with her gol-
den finger to the lasciviousness of man,
and wonders why the image Of God thus
deludes himself Hope shines with efful-
gence DER our benighted minds in beams
too radiant to be lasting, and warns us
