ENEMIES TO THE U

The true, fricnd to any cause, is not dis
mayed and turned aside from it, because of
opposition or ridiculc. He only asks himself
fam | right ?:"-and if his conscience ap-
proves, he swcrvcs neither to the right or
left, but v~aliantly and constantly contends
"for the faith that is in him. And this
should be the case, cmphatically with the
friends of the Temperance reform. They
should be determined, enthusiastic and uni
ted. Our opponents, the liquor dealers and
their allies, always alive, active and thor
oughly organized in their warfare against
the Temperance measures; and if We would
rot be overwhelmed, VIC must be found at
all times with our armor on. The true
friend of temperance feels strong when lie
has adopted Il course OF action based upon
principles of eternal truth. He sees, through
the gloom of the conflict upon which he has
entered, the brightness Of the full day Of
victory. md what reform has ever been sag
gcStcd, from the time the Ephcsians mobbcd
the apostle Paul to the present day, that did
not arouse fierce opposition?
But there is one class Of cnemics-Uho
come under the guisc of fJcnd%hj-that
ha~salways done more againstth advancement
of temperance principles than any Others
We alludc to the timid, the popularity hun
tiers, and those guided by cxpcdicncy instead
OF prncirlc; who h~csjta'iayy approve, but
do"bt the Propricty Of every step taken by
temperance men for the suppression of III
temperance.
With open enemies the friends Of Temper
aneeScan cope; with them the issue Is made
up. But lukcwarm ricnds-tcmpcrance men
in the abstract, yet practical advocates Of in
temperance-thosc who give the hand Of
friendship, but are ready to bctray with the
kiss Of a Judas-arc the worst enemies of
the cause. They, who profess a desire to
see the present traffic in temporal and tcr-
nal ruin arrcstcd-who acknowledge that
evils, almost unlimited in degree and unm-
Der, flow from the dramshop, as water from
Il perennial fountain, yet doubt the expcdlcn-
cy, question the right of lcgislating on the
subject, and profess to believe mor"| S"nsion
the only remcdy-do more to sustain the
grogshop, to pcrpetuatc the fearful curse
which hangs over the land, than all the open
enemies of reform could accomplish, were

CHINESE SUGAR CANE-Doubts have
been entertained whether this cane will make
sugar in the climate Of the United States !;
but the Washington Ghb" says it has seen
numerous specimens of apparently good sugar
made from it. 1t adds that experienced cul-
~tivatOrs of it assert that the syrup is a profit
able crop at % cents per gallon; and that,
even if neither sugar nor syrup could be ob-
tanned from this plant, it would always prove
an advantageous forage crop.

Mr.. Bruncr :-Accordius to promise, l
will now give you history OF my experience
with the Chinese Sugar Cane. The lot on
which I grew the cane did not quite contain
an acre, was very rich in vegetable mould,
and supposed to be capable of producing 40
or so bushels Of corn.
In the month of May, had the ground well
broken with 4 one horse pillow, then, about
the time of planting, had it well narrowed
with a heavy three horse harrow then, on
the 9th of June, drew burrows 3! feet apart
and planted the seed in the furrow, every
, feet, dropping + or ) seed in a place, COW
cred them about half an inch deep. In a.
bout eight or ten days after the seed came
up, hood it again; then, in about twelve or
fifteen days, plowcd and howed it, which
was all the cultivating | considered ncccssa-
~. The cane grew very tall, and had a
beautiful appearance.
Not being able to get Il mill sooner, did
not mmen making syrup until the 10Th
Of October. The mill was capable of ex-
pressing SIC gallons of juice in twelve hours
when regularly supplied with cane. On the
10Th the mill brokc--got 4 new shaft put in,
and began again on the 9th, and finished
on the 29th-making in all 200 gallons Of
syrup Of the first quality.
In boiling, being very late in the season, |
had the experience Of those who worked car
licr. The cane stood the iroSts Of the first
of October. 1t killed the leaves OF blades,
but did not %injurc the cane
Some inferior canc which did not use IN
making syrup, were fed to my milk cattle
and l consider it superior to corn for that
purpose. hoBERT RAMSAY.

WEBsTER's REpoRTs.-One evening, not
many years ago, while the Supreme Court
was holding its session in Somerset county,
down in the State of Maine, some of the legal
brethren were warming their legs before a
blazing fire in a rural tavern, and converslng
upon various matters pertaining to the pro-
fession. B. j. Bacon, whose long silence in,
dictated that his mind was in travail with
some great thought, broke out by asking II
any of his brethren could relieve him from
his trouble.
II WISH" said he, " to m an ac-
ton against a boy who was caught stealing
apples. l fluid no case of the kind IN any OF
our Reports, and I am at a loss for a prece'
dent"
The landlord overheard the question, and
informed the verdant youth that he knew 4
case just in point.
"Ahw said Bacon, gin whose Reports
shall l find it,"
"Iu Webstcr's," said the landlord gravely.
"Webstcr's Reports replied Bacon.-
DWELL, now you speak of it, think do re-
member something like it there. Do you
know the volume?"
ayes, I do; l have a copy in the house, if
you would like to see it."
81 would be greatly obliged to you for it,
as l have left mine at home"
The landlord stepped out, and soon return
ed with Webster's Spelling Book and turn
ing to the story, Gan old man found a rude
boy on one of his trees, stealing apples"
passed the book to his legal friend, who
threw it into the fire, in the midst of roars Of
laughter, and speedily made his exit.
