PUBLIC ADDRESSES.

At meeting held nj Pine Grove Academy, on
Saturday the 9th inst, the "SoSs," and friends
of Temperance generally, had much to cheer and
encourage them in the great work that is now 60
ing on-in our land.
? Notwithstanding there were obstacles in the
way that doubtless prevented many that other
wise would have been there, yet there we're
goodiy number of our country's people present,
and after prayer by Rev. B. Bonner, pastor OF
Antioch church, William Green, ESQ, arose and
addressed the assembly for about three quarters
of an hour, in very appropriate and entertaining
style. His reasoning was good-his arguments
strong in favor Of "total abstinence" He spoke OF
the principles of some of our greatest men, as
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James
Madison and others, showing that they were In
favor of total abstinence and worthy of imita-
tion. To be closely related to such men in prln
ciples, gives credit His very interesting speech
was made still more entertaining by being inter
spersed with rich anecdotes, illustrative of the
principles that he was advocating.
He was followed by A. Hardin, Esq, who is SO
we'll known iu our District to be q man Of sound
mind and ofextcnsive general intelligence, thai
merely to mention his name is sufficient to give
more character to the address than any encomi
um that we are able to place upon it. His argu
ments were adduccd chiefly from general obser'
yaton; and consequently, his address carried
with it more force thar all the embellishments
that the art of oratory could have done.
1t is true, that neither Of the men are members
of the organization of Sons, but they are enlisted
in the great cause, and are fighting heroicaly for
temperance principles under the same great ban
ner, hence their reward is sure.
The work is gradually progressing in our part
of the District, and we hope will continue to
spread its benign influence until every nook and
corner will realize the blessings Of Temperance.
We expect An address from Rev. B. Bonner at
the same place, on Saturday before the first Sun
day in May next. May the cause prosper.

FIRE.

On Wednesday evening, the 9th inst, stable
belonging to EDWARD Moore, Esq, in oar town,
was destroyed by fire. The evening was very
quiet, and to this circumstance We owe our cs-
cape from serious confagration. The origin OF
the fire is uncertain; though we apprchend it was
the result Of accident.
On the same evening, we learn, the kitchen at
tachej to the elegant new mansion belonging to
Mr. Josrru LEECII. in this District was burnt
The wind blowing from the mansion-house saved
il from destruction. AS it is, Mr.. LEEcl loses
several hundred dollars.
On the next evening, q fluid lamp exploded in
Mr.. LOUIS Smiths Shoeshop, in STowEs Hotel
building, by which Mr.. SMITH was badly burned,
and the entire block Of buildings put in imminent
jeopardy. This is one among thousand warn
ings constantly occurring in reference to The use
Of burning fluid.

The New Third Assistant Postmaster General.-
Mr.. Zevely, the new Third Assistant Postmaster

partmcnt, wherein for some years past he has oc-
cupied the place of greatest trust and response
bity, next after the position of an Assistant Post
master General He isa gentleman offew words,
great industry and caution, excellent sense and
scrupu,ous rectitude of character-qualitiesw which
fit him emncntly well for the satisfactory duties
of the position. we do not know that Mr.. Zevely
has any particular politics. In the course of per-
haps twenty years acquaintance with him, we
never heard him open his mouth on political
topic His selection, under the circumstances,
satisfies US that the President simply looked for
the best to fill the place. so far as the public
interest is concerncd-not rewarding batherski-
ting noisy political partizan. So mote it be ever
more.

PostoDice Regulations as 10 Ne~q'Gpers-l con
sequence of correspondence published in the
New Orleans Picayunc q few weeks ago relative
to the regulations of the Pcstolce as to the pos,
tagc of journals containing business cards, the
Postmaster of New Orleans has obtained explicit
directions from Washington. Section ll3, of
chapter viii, of the regulations, provides that
"any word or communication, whether by prin
ting, writing, marking or signs upon the cover or
wrapper of newspaper, or other printed matter,
subjects the paper to litter postage" The con-
struction of the Department is that the paper con-
tanning private advertisement, not forming q
part of the whole edition, is chargeable as cir
cular, over AMI above the usual postage on the

HOPE AND FonTUyE.-It is amazing in what un
substantial indications the sanguine find grounds
for hope As the powers Of the microscope con-
vert the green mould of some decaying object into
verlant forests and bowers of bliss, the eye Of
youth discovers promise in the evening of cloud,
and its buoyant heart dances for joy at the broken
strain of distant and unattainabe music. To
such deg:ee of falacious hope, however, is not
that which is based upon some surer and frmer
foundation. Such, for instance as investing the
small sum of ten, five, or two and a half dollars
in WooD, EDDY & Co.'S, great legalised lottery
BY forwarding either of these amounts to WocD,
EDDY & Co., either at Augusta, Georgia, or Will
mington, Delaware, the wooer of dame fortune at
the shrine of her favors will insure o chance Of
realsing his hopes in q prize of fifty thousand
dollars. ll6.

he paid no heed to the warning whistle of the To-

would be impossible to check the speed of the
train before striking him, ran forward. and placing
himself upon the cow catcher, reached out his
strong arm just in time to save him. The imm-
nent danger of the brave engineer was greatly
augmented by the fact that the deaf and dumb
man had nm axe upon his shoulder, from which
he might have received serious injury. Lane was

JENNIE BY MY SIDE.
by J. FORREST GowAN.

By my side, upon the sofa,
Jennie's sitting now,
With her soft curls clust'ring sweetiy
Round her lily brow.
Dimpled arm is on my shoulder,
Little hand in mine,
Pretty head upon my bosom
Gently doth recline.
On her soft cheek are the roses,
. 'Pon her lips a smile;
And her blue eyes will keep looking
Sweet things all the while.
Witching Jennie's lips are parted,
With the flow of song,
To whose sweet notes could listen
All the evening long.
On the rug beside the sofa,
Drawn close by the fire,
Sleeps my faithful dog so soundly,
That it would require
Many kicks and cuffs to wake him
From his quiet nap;
But tits just as we'll, for pussy
Sleeps on Jennie's lap.
1 lam jealous of that kitten
Snugly cradled there,
With its soft coat sinoothed and patted
BY hand so fair:-
am jealous Of that ribbon
Round sweet Jennie's waist;
If dared would cen snatch it
From its place in haste.
On my desk lie pen and paper,
On the shelf my books;
Yonder an unfinished poem,
Rhymed to "babbliug brooks"
Psbaw who cares for tales and poems,
When, upon his breast,
Lies the beauteous head of maiden
Whom he loves the best.
All without is dark and stormy,
Nice and warm within;
And l hear the rain drops falling
'Pon the roof of tin:
Windows rattle, wind is whisting
Down the chimney flue;
Jennie, dear, is sitting by me,
With her eyes so blue.
don't care, though skies should never
Part with clouds again!
don't care, if through the future
1t should ever rain!
With sweet Jennie sitting by me,
With her hand in mine,
'Pon the earth old Sol may never
Deign again to shine !!
Let the world be wrapt in silence
Flowers droop and die;
And from hence no starlight glimmer
In the evening sky
Let the thunder be the requiem
O'er blasted earth;
And the soil to vcrdure henceforth
Never give birth -
And, amid the desolatiop,
Ellen will be born,
If amid the wreck, sweet Jennie
BE not from me torn.
Ave. the world, from hence, forever
May to ruin glide,
So it leaves my blue eyed Jennie
Sitting by my side!
