Is not the Macedonian CRY, as it falls from
the lips of hundreds and thousands of in

forth your warmest sympathies! Yes, We
rily. and let US rally around our glo-
rious standard. Let Us do our duty, and
soon, very soon, the great york will be
done that will elicit the gratitude of the
world. Soon Temperance will reign from
the shores of Maine to the southern gulf
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific -
Then tears of gratitude for rescued son

the hosannas Of innocent childrea, purify
ing the now infectious air.. will invoke the
choicest benedictions Of heaven upon the
Sons of Temperance. Then, the horrors
of black intemperance wiIl<fbe covered up
in hell, and the world win be set free from
a bondage more distressing than that Of
Zedekiah under Nebuchadnezzar. God
grant that that happy day may speedily
come, when man wll learn the great end
of his existence, that "it is not all of life to
live, nor all of death to die" But after
death ce,neth the judgment.

Mr.. EDIroR:-We had quite band of
young Americans to celebrate the eighty
third Anniversary of our Independence at
Ekin. We met in the evening, with our
fire arms and bands of music, waiting for
the call of our chief commander, E. N.
Gwyn. Command was given, and we
marched down the Ekin stream to the
Yadkin River, over beautiful level bottom,
animated by the drum and other musical
instruments. On our return we formed in
to platoons and fred salutes, &c. Then
the Ladies prepared US rare sapper.-
After marching around the table several
times we place ourselves in order to par,
take of the luxlries placed before US. At
ter supper we performed other evolutions,
after which we were entertained by sever
al speeches suited to the occasion
EIkin, in Snrry County, N. c., is s;tua-
ted near the bank of E!kin Greek, about
two hundred yards from its junction with
the Yalkin River. 1t is within one mile
of the Wilkes line aud about one fourth Of
a mile from the Yaikin county line. 1t

to the regions Of eternal despair as the
Bible says, "No drunkard can enter the
Kingdom of Heaven Now, ask those
who affirm that the ''use of tobacco is as
great an evil as the use of strong drink" !"
does the use of tobacco prepare mon for
the regions of the mned?-does it de-
stroy his family or his country? No, it is
simply tax on his income-and may,
when used excessively, injure his health
Does the use of tobacco cause those who
use it to waste their property, beggar their
children, beat and sometimes murder their
wives? Does it canse men to gamble, to
swear and fight? Does it cause or give
rise to nine-tenths of the litigation, and
especially the State cases found upon the
Court Dockets Does it cause or dispose
thousands of men to spend their time about
the grog-shops in our country! What .
pity it is that good intelligent men would
make such statements, when they know
that the most simple person in the COM
munity knows they are false? Is it not a
bad cause that needs to be propped up by
falsehoood? What can such men gain BY
such extravagant assertionsg Surely they
cannot expect others to believe what they
do not believe themselves. The Devil
sometimes overshoots himself, and so do
some good men. Would it not be we'll
for men who make extravagant assertions
on this subject, to remember that the Sons
do not deny that the use of tobacco is an
evil-as we'll as hundreds of other things
We affirm that intemperance is dreadful
evil-and that it is for the avowed object
of suppressng intemperance that the Order
OF the Sons of Temperance has associated
themselves together. Would it not be bet
ter for such men to say nothing than to
endeavor to make false impression on
the community! The cost of intoxicating
drinks is perhaps as much, or more, than
the cost OF tobacco-and surely no wise
man will (fhe only reflects on the subject)
affirm that the use of tobacco occasions
even a tithe of the mischief that liquor
does. If we can dry up the fountain from
whence proceeds the terrible evil Of in
temperance other evils that follow
In its train, will certainly cease as neces-
sary consequence.
Let me advise the persons who say that
the use Of Tobacco is as great an evil as the
use of intoxicating liquors, that they need
not expect to gain their point by lying

homes and invading the sanctuary of the
Most High God?
In behalf of that emaciated, heart-bro-
ken wife, who submits daily to the abuse,
neglect, and even personal violence of the
wreck Of a once noble man, whom she has
pledged herself to love, honor, and obey,
conjure you MOTTO diminish your efforts until
the bloody flag of the rum king, with its
insignia of ruin and death, shall no longer
float over the land which we call our own.
In behalf OF that isolated being "who
walks among the tombs at noon of night
in the miserable garb of widowhood," with
none to cheer and none to comfort, be-
seech you never to let your exertions cease,
whilst this insatiate enemy has within our
midst "a local habitation and a name."-
In behalf of that noble youth with the fire
ofgenius beaming from bis eagle eye, with
the impress of his Maker stamped upon bis
brow, who, having given free course to his
appetite, until the maddening fury of oft
repeated indulgence, burning in his veins,
hurries him with accelrating velocity into
premature and deshonored grave, l en-
treat you never to desert your post, whilst
dram-drinking advocate can be found
beneath the "broad canopy Of heavens
ETHEREAL DOME" In behalf of that jibber-
ing wretch, whose unearthly yeIs and
clanking chains make the still hours of
night hideous, | implore you to use your
influence and give your example to free
our country from the calling yoke of in
temperance and its ten thousand concomi-
tant evils In behalf of those poor, hun
CRY, and illiterate orphans, homeless, friend
less, and forsaken, who have been cast up
on the cold charities of an unfeeling world,
| call upon you to contribute your means,
your talents, and your prayers, to rescue
these innocent creatures from the degrada-
tion into which they have been driven by
drunken parents and relatives. In view Of
all these and thousands of other reasons
which might be adduced, do most earn
estly implore you, by all the virtues Of tenn
perance-by all the corrupting influences
of intemperance, by all the blessings of
heaven and the eternal horrors of hell to
rally around the Temperance Standard and
battle manfully for your country, your fell
low man, and your God, shat you may
win the wreath of fame and write on mem
ory's scroll deathless name.
Never desert your standard, as long as
an enemy can be found to raise his voice
in defense of vice SO injurious, so degra-
ding, and so demoralizing as that of intern
perance. ....... ..
/ But let the tocsn of war be sounded un-
til the reverberation shall echo and re-echo
"from mountain crag and coral strand to
the worlds extreme" Yes, until this ter
rible seourge of our race shall be driven

waited upon the viewless air, shall cleave
the azure vaults of heaven; and angels
catching up the dulcet strains, shall render
, vocal the eternal palaces Of the living God

Tobacco and Whiskey.

Bro. GoRMAN That the use of tobac-
co is an evil, no one will deny who is will
ling to admit what is strictly true. 1t may
be, and sometimes is used to excess, and
may consequently injure the health-and
it is confessed by heavy tax on many
who use it-and there are many who pay
out more money in the course of the year
for it than they do for the support Of the
Gospel. | admit further, that am not
aware that the use of it is any more NC
essary to health, than the use of int9xica-
ting drinks-and for one would, be will
ling to use my influence to dissuade every
boy in the country from contracting the
habit of using it in any way-except as a
medicine, (if indeed, it can be used in that
way at all.) am aware that some persons
advocate the use of it, as the best remedy
for certain complaints. But | am inclined
to believe that other remedies equally cf-
fectua, might be applied. The argument
is often used in favor of Intoxicating drinks
that it is good medicine-be it so. But
are there not other things that might be
substituted that would answer the purpose
equally as well, or better, and thus avoid
the great danger Of becoming fond of Ii
quor, and thus becoming drunkard? 3
Tobacco is great luxury to those who
contract the habit of using it-so are many
other things about which but little has
been said-such as extravaganza in many
ways, and host of other evils too tedious
to mention. Such are some of the evils
incident to, or that result from, the use of
tobacco. l do not pretend that | have
enumerated them all-but l presume the
tax it imposes on those who use it, is a.

it. ...

CARE OF THE EYES, Milton's blind
ness was the result of overwork and dys-
pepsia.
One of the most eminent American di-
vines having for some time been compelled
to forego the pleasure Of reading, has spent
thousands Of dollars in vain, and lost, years
of time, in consequence Of getting up sever
al hours before day, and studying by arti-
fetal light. His eyes never got well.
Multitudes ofmen and women have made
their eyes weak for life by the too frequent
use of the cyesight IN reading small print
and doing fine sewing.
Never begin to read, or write or sew for
several minutes after coming from darkness
to bright light.
