Old Friendships,

How bitter is the breaking up of Old friend
sh'ps-to tear ourselves away from thsse We
have long loved, and to enter upon ncvr
scenes and form new associations Old
friends are not easily forgotten. Their pleas
ant countenances and sweet words are da-
guefreotyped upon our memories, and they
ilnger long in the secret chambers of the
heart. If the new path re tread he sunny
and cheerful, perhaps months NAV elapse be-
tore the friends of the past, are made to revis
1t our lmaginations, and the scenes of by-gone
days fling over our hearts their wonted ex-
element; but let DAYS Of darkness and dis
appointment come; let us feel a cold loneli-
ness come over US, and then the sweet ones
OF other days stand wildly before us, and ev-
cry thought is tinged with the "reminiscences
OF years long gone and friendships long bro.
ken. Alas! they bring with them none Of
the joys and the happiness of the past, but
only the remembrance of what we once DOS
sessed, but now perhaps forevc. lost.

What can 7 do?"

Reader, do you ask that question, when
you are urged by the offerings of conscience
to go to work in behalf of poor suffering hui
manity Are you sincere when you make the
inquiry? De you doubt your ability to do
something for the cause of Temperance? 1t

ton the influence or the power to exert it for
good. Of a single reader of the Age" we
All whom we address, have a power over

yourself-some heart that vibrates IN nn;con
with yours only-which you alone can con-

ert that power, or may be in such a position
that you cannot exert it. There are certainly
those around you, if not already in the mesh

Is whom you might save. Will you make the
attempt? But you ask, what can I do p,
""hat?' we cannot tell nor can YOU tell
Heaven only knows what you might do. if
you would try.
But, perhaps, until this hour, your position
IS not known. At heart, you are an enemy

habit and the consequences. And vet ner-
adventure, you have been regarded as an in
different spectator if not an abettor in tho
DARK deeds OF the monster. Have you iden-
tlned yourself in any public way with the
friends OF humanity and sobriety Are Won

time you had taken a stand. Humanitv-
your love OF your race, demands your efforts

you to be decided and to 60 to work. Pri-

Journalism of North Carolina

Under this caption, the Editors of the New
bern Gazette take occasion to disparage the
Press of North Carolina, and in invidious
terms to decry 'the daily, political and lite
rary periodicals" of the State.
The Editors of the Gazette say, that ssNorth
Carolina has more ha~lf-handed, almost insig-
nifcant and. worthless papers, than any 9th
er OF its neighboring States, South or North"
This IS a broad and sweeping denunciation,
and one that we do not believe facts will sus-
tam. Let US enter into an examination. The
Gazette launches its dart first at the daily
papers OF North Carolina, and AYERS they will
notcompare in merit ''are not worthy to
stand beside any other State in the Union
lth an acquaintance of twenty years with
the Press of this State, and of the Union. our
experience authorizes US to pronounce the
remark a gross SANDER. In point of ability,
the dailies Of our State are equal to any in
the South, or North either, we believe we
may justly add. The Daily Wilmington Her
AID Is as neatly printed, and as industriouslv
and ably edited, as any of its contemporaries
that we are acquainted with. The same re-
marks truthfully apply to the Daily journal
printed at Wilmington. The Newbern Daily
Progress we never see, but have heard it
highly spoken Of and alluded to by our broth
er Editors of the State fully competent to
judge. These are all the ''d%ailics'' we have.
The "politieal' papersnext come in for their
share Of deterioration It is not our province
to take up the cudgels in their behalf-but
we would like the Gazette to point out ADLER
and better political papers than the Raleigh
Standard and Register, Greensboro Patriot.
Charlotte Democrat, Fayetteville Observer,
and indeed the most of the political papers of
North Carolina. Where and which are they ?
AS for the 'literary' papers of the State,
there are few of them-the Gazette being of
thenumber-an we were ofopinion it claimed
to be par excellence. And we are sure the
Oxford Leisure Hour will compare favorably,
IN point Of literary merit, with any literary
paper published any achere-north or south.
Ouryoung friends have learned very little of
h eesprjt de corps, thus wantonly and u~niustly
to assail their brethren of the quill. 1t is the
custom of some folk to depreciate every thing
Norh CToAnj02, however praiseworthy or
eXcellent; but Of a North Carolina Editor.
full justice to her character and institutions.
at least, is expected at his hands. To find
fault, is one thing to jn2pr0re what we find
fault with, is quite another. When the Ga
zette shall have become superior to every
5 other paper in the State, it may then, perhaDs,
? be justified in scandalizing the Press Of the
State, as it has done in the article to which
we have alluded.

The Future.

As the eye scans the year upon which we
have just entered, and labors to descry the
events which must fill up its twelve long
months, an enquiry of most serious moment
starts up and exclaims, What shall I do this
year? ?" Shall its months be filled up with
earnest effort TO promote the veal or woe of
humanity Shall the promoter of vicious
habits and morals be more successful in car
rying on his nefarious schemes to ruin man
that he who zealously exerts himself to do
good? What has the liquor dealer to saw. as
to his future plans and purposes? Ifbe
prompted purely by the love of gold or self
determines upon increasing his store Of Il.
quors and doing double work to advance tho
cause of Intemperance, shall not every friend
OF society prepare to redouble his energies
to block up his way and if possible destroy
his traffic? We trust such is the purpose of
every temperance man in the State. Let ns
arise in our strength, brother, and let 1850
tell powerfully in favor of our cause.

The Poor Ye Have Always with You"

Tho season of f~estivity and mirth Usually
connected with the holidays, is over, and our
readers are returning to honest labor and
sober thought. The season has been unu-
sually uncomfortab'c and unpropitious on ac-
count of the weather, but We suppose the
pleasure-loving have had their fill of good
cheer. In the midst of their hilarity and
pastiine, have they thought of the suffering
poor? Cold and damp and poverty have
pinched them severely, but the foot prints of
mercy and benevolence have but too seldom
marked the threshold of these sufferers
Wholly neglected they have not been, for
there are those who like their benevolent
Master, never forget, that 1.-The poor VIC have
always with you" How necessary during
this inclement season, that the citizens Of our
cities, towns and villages especially, remem-
Der the poor. Let them not be overlooked
in dispensing charity. Nor should they be
p@ssed over, if poverty is their punishment
for crime and intemperance. They have not
so strong a claim, it is true, as if it were the
result of misfortune, but still they are unfor
tunate portions Of our race, who need ouI
sympathies, if they do not deserve them.

Gleanings from u Correspondence.

ExPEDITIoUs.-A gentleman at Grains

that the Age is very irregular in its receipt
there, and gives the following instances Of
the expeditions transportation of letters

ForcStville the LIST day Of Sep, last; and an
other Cameo few days since, mailed at Branch

The same correspondent says: The peo-
PIE OF this section are very much dlSappoin-

the State concerning the establishment Of a
