Our Present Number.

OK OUR OUTSIDE FORM, we give first a
calm, dispassionate and perfectly respectful
article, in defence of the Order of the Sons of
Temperance. It was written by a Clergy
man of North Carolina, and is addressed es-
pecially to Ministers and Members of the
Church who may entertain conscientious
scruples concerning their duty to unite with
it, and who have honest prejudices against
this peculiar organization. The Colportage
Committee has determined upon issuing this
article in the form of a Tract, so that it may
be widely circulated-believing as they do,
that it cannot fail to carry conviction to the,
mind of every ingenious reader. We bespeak
for it a frank and candid reading by all.
DIR. Scroggs continues his startling series.
of articles upon the deadly effects of drinking
ardent spirits, based upon facts of actual oc-
c~urrence in his experience, which should.
strike terror to every dram-drinker who,
reads them.
Then we have two very good articles, Of
light literature, and one upon education-aN
original articles, and presenting a dish Of
mental pabulum that few papers present
0Us INSIDE PAGES, contain a continuation
of our ~favorite Lady Contributors Stcay-
'Annie Lorraine, or Life's VicissitudesS,n by
ANNIE GEoRGE-which is worth douhIe. the.
subscription price for a year. And wa. have
a contribution from our old friend ''IN xAH1D,''
who has long been a great f~avorite with our
readers, and whose ~inditings have foG along
time been absent from our columnS Then
we have Editorial articles on -variouBsuniects
News Items in abundance, both from our
5 own State and abroad-news conc nnirag the
; Order-a record of the doings of Cupid and
! of the i~nsatiate archer Death-Nariset Re-
ports, &C., &C.
And we offer 81 copies of such a paper Ia

One Idea Men.

The Temperance Reform is an idea in
whose contamination is Gsntred the highest
good of the race to-day.and for ages to come.
And yet there are hosts of minds which can
not comprehend il, and with canting words,
talk about " one-idea men,"
Better one idea, glorious to man and hon
oring to God, than a legion whichever pulse
beyondthe line of pitiful selfshness. Better
to rear one eagle tossweep in the upper sky,
th4n a thousand chickens to scratch in the
ground. r..
It is a blessed thing that.there are men in
the world who have the one idea ofstruggling
to beat back the many wrongs which Cypress
and degrade poor humanity.

DO Unto Others as 7. Would" &c.

You scarcely meet a man, however infidel,
debased or criminal in sentiment or practice,
who does not admit the correctness, the JUS
tice and the binding force of this law upon
every one. The human mind, depraved as it
Is, perceives almost intuitiyely its utility and
propriety; SO much so, that unbelievers in
divine revelation are wont to regard it as a
natural law, originating in the uningpired
perceptions of mankind. Now, how strange
is it, that universally as its binding nature is
! admitted, how few even make an effort to
keep it! How universal is its violation!-
Christianity alone, in its highest and purest
influences upon the human heart enables
men to discharge it, and how few even among
professed christians como squarely up to it.
Most men who are honest in their dealings
with their fellows, imagine that they fulfill it
when they punctiliously avoid intentional
fraud and deception in trade; when they have
not knowingly wronged a customer Of his
dues. But this is a very small part of the
obligation imposed on US by this law. 1t
inhibits not only injustice in the act, but in
thought, motive, word or purpose. More
over, it %enjoins universal benevolence and
!. philanthropy, as well as universal justice and
f integrity towards mankind.
; Now can any man, no matter what may
y may be his intentions or professions, have
any prop or regard to this great law, who
makes, sells, or gives away alcoholic or in
toxicating drinks? Does not every man vio-
: late this law who contributes by his example,
d his act, his word, or by his Indifference, to
P the evils of intemperance? Does. not every
Id man break this law, who neglects the use o.
n every means to lessen the vice of drunken
Id ness OF any other crime in community? Ano
ne yet how many protested christians in thi:
lie land are the aiders and abettors of drunken
II, ness and crime? They may not be drunkei
* or vicious themselves, but what are they do
ne ing, by active, persevering.eff to arrest it
Do they not, by the recognition in social lf
1T of those who are criminal in these respects
give add and comforts to vice? By tradin
or with and promoting the business of men VIII
en- traffic in spirituous liquors, do they not PR
er, mote drunkenness r Are they doing to eli
cts ers as they would be done By? Let God
full Word and their own consciences ansgser.

"a Plan"

Under this head, an esteemRR Brother of
our Order proposes to the frierra5 of Temper

plan by which the circulatior Of this paper
may be very greatly increased and certainly
doubled, if all will contribute to. carry it out
We give his plan in his own words, as fallews=
'My desire is to increase the circulation of
the Spirit of the Age to at least ten tksnsandi.

families, and thus arouse a living, active, Wig

by this means. 1t is a regular weekly Lee.

Besides, the next year 1S60) being the .5ne
for the Presidential election, an unusual de-
gree of excitement will exist in the country,
and there is no better way to temper this ex-
element with sober, prudent reflection and
action, than the reading of the Spirit of the
Age. And those who regularly read it, Will
be much less liable to resort to the use OF in
toxicating drinks in the midst of their peaitir
cal excitement. And we knew it's wide
spread circulation will greatly promote tho
: interests of our Order.
81 therefore propose that every one of as
shall solemnly promise to go to work to see
how many subscribers We can send up by the
first of January next-and then continue Tor
0 get all the subscribers we can throughout tina

this work, for the circulation of this paper
will promote the cause of morality and re-
I ligion. LADIES, help us get subscribers, and
thus contribute to the protection of your faith

from ruin. YOUNG MEN, grid on your armor

ut 1t is unnecessary for US to add a word to
to this appeal. We may remark, however, that
:. there is need for e~xertion on the part of the
Cd friends of the paper, in order to keep the sub.
rs. scribers to the Age up the usual five thous.
and. Our receipts for two months OR more
past, show that the pro rata amount has
greatly fallen short in that time. Subscri

MINERAL TOILET SoAP.-We have been ia
vored with a specimen of the above soap,
made from the Opposite of the celebrated
Mineral Springs at Kittrelrs, Granville Coun-
ty. 1t cures all eruptions of the skin, such
as s~crofula, ringworm, poison oak, &c. 1t
has been highly recommended by those who
have used it in the above diseases. From our
own experience, we can say it is an agreeable
toilet soap, and we have greatconfidence that
lit is more than ordinarily effcacious in cuta-
neous diseases. Price, so cents for a large
cake, which may be had at Pescud's, Raleigh,
N. c., where orders may be sent.
References to persons of responsibility who
have used it, can be given. We recommend
those suffering to give it a fair trial.
We clip the above from the Warrenton
News We have been using this Soap, for
ordinary toilet purposes, for over a month
past, and prefer it to any we have ever tried.
1t leaves the skin soft and plant, is a thor.
ough cleanser, and heals all pimples or infa.
f nation. We have heard of remarkable
cures of s~crofula and other cutaneous affec
tons cured with it.

J.W. White, in his work on 1.-THE Bible
and the Liquor Traffic" well says-I tremble
when l think what must be the fate of SO
many children. Let your mind for a mo-
ment or two pierce through the vista of the
next twenty years-the children now will be
men and women then-the long procession
of drunkards, criminals, and prostitutes that
now degrade our humanity and curse our
world, will have passed away to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns" but with
the same influences at work, there will be few
If any, gaps made our work houses will be
crowded as they are noW-our jails will be
crowded as they are now-driVelling sots
and raving manaiacs will abound on every
hand as they do now a long train of leche-
rous harlots will infest our streets even as
they do now. And where will they come
from ?-where, but from our children? Faith
ers ! Mothers your children are in danger
run to their rescue! The most potent agen-
cy e~ffecting their ruin are the grogshops,
the public houses, the beer shops with their
dancing classes, and all their other hellish
influences. Will you stand still and watch
the wholesale slaughter Nay, l charge you
in the name Of the slaughtered virtue and
murdered innocence Of all past and present

current of desolation which sweeps across
our land like a food, and standing up in all

Manual of Geology.

We are indebted to Prof. EMMoNs, State
Geologist of North Carolina, for a copy of a
new work, prepared by himself, entitled
"Manual of Geology: Designed for the use
Of Colleges and Academies. illustrated by
numerous Engravings, (nearly 500 principal
~ from American specimens"
We have examined this work with some
care, and think it meets a .desideratum long
felt by students of this abstruse, though
beautiful, and eminently practical and useful
science. And though written by one of
most thorough scientific attachments, it
is not SO mystiied By scientific lore and
technicalities as to make it a sealed book to
all not sufficiently versed in Geological
knowledge to understand it 1t is true that,
of necessity, it is compelled to partake in q
very eminent degree of high scientific no
menclatnre and expositaa, but there is afix
ed to the volume a Glossary of all terms EN-
ployed, that makes them perfectly inteIligibl,
to the ordinary student or reader. And no
only is it to be valued as a superior text booI
for our schools and colleges, but its examin
alton and study will be highly interestin
and profitable to the general reader, and es
pecially to the farmer-giying him invaluabl
information with regard to soils, fertilizers
every kind, &c, &c. And as a good porto
of the book treats of the climate, product
soils, rocks, minerals, fertilizers, &C.,
North Carolina, from the .seaboard to tt
mountains, it will be found of especial int
est and importance to the people of our on
State.
The work is for sale in the Bookstores
