Don't Be So Fast.

'1fI can't be corn, I won't be shucks," is
rather a homely, pert expression to come out
of the pretty lips of young woman. But we
have heard the girls say it, jokingly, of course,
for they don't always mean what they say
1t is meant to exhibit their disgust at the con-
duct Of a more sensible woman, who does not
refuse the arm of a gentleman, or decline his
invitation to dance, or reject the offer of his
hand and heart, because, forsooth, the tender
was made to another before her. Many a
girl has in this way ''cut off her nose to spite
her face" and she has seen the day when she
repented of it but alas it was too late. But
the expression is lily applied. Many reasons
prompt a gentleman to show attentions to one
lady before he does to another, which by no
means implies that either are ''shucks'' in his
estimation. No sensible man wants shucks,'
and the best evidence that he can give that
he does not so regard her, is that he offers
his services. To decline them-simply be-
cause he sought another frst-is the sheerest
folly. But We do not design to treat the ex-
preston seriously, and it should never halk a
mans Roadway, if he knows the one who uses
it is a worthy and sensible woman. 1t is
more often done in jest, or to let off a little
chagrin, than otherwise.

4 Good Plan.

Concord Division, No. l, has inauguratcd
a plan, which we think will add much to the
interest of the meetings, and TO the ~instrue-
ton of the members as to the principles of
the Order. 1t is the appointment OF some
brother to prepare either a speech or essay
upon some portion of our beautiful and i'm
p~ressive Ritual and after its delivery, the
subject to be open for further remarks by
any other members who may feel disposed to
submit their views.
Our energetic young brother, w. H. Har-
rison, jr., was the first appointee under the
arrangement, and he delivered very instruc-
tive and interesting Specializing for his
subject this sentence :-'Intemperance is pc
culiarly a social evil" He had taken the
trouble to examine reliable Authors for facts
and statistics to sustain the arguments that
ne advanced, and presented an array of evil
dence conclusive and convincing.
Our young friend and brother, d. W. Balm,
is appointed for the next meeting, and we
feel confident of hearing something good
from him.
We think this a capital plan to afford ma
terial out of which we may always be sure of
having manufactured some instructive and
entertaining remarks at our Division meet
ings. Frequently, after getting through the
regular routine of business, we find a back
wardness on the part ofmembers to entertain
the Division with remarks; and We have to
resort to calls on the brothers for speeches
thus a very few of them m~onopolize all the
talking done in the Division and then the
remarks made are crude and undigested
made at random, for the want of a special
subject to predicate them upon. But by this
plan, we can get those whose voices we new.
er hear in the Division room, to prepare ar
essay or speech, and we thus bring them out
and cause them eventually to become speak
ers and advocates for our cause.-The re
marks they submit are ~thoughtfully prepared
and digested, they are improved, and theil
brothers edited and entertained-to say no
thing of the benefits a~ccruing from a discns
sion Of the principles of the Order.
We think the system a good one, and com
mend it to the consideration of other Di
visions.

shesp-the culture Of Wool.

We have been surprised in late years to
see so little attention paid in this State to the
culture of wool and the increase of focks.-
There are millions Of acres of lands unculti
waited, and not likely to be, which might-at
a tr1filng expense-be appropriated to the
pasturage of sheep. Our billy country af
lords the most abundant pasturage for Aocks,
and much of the piney lands and savannahs
OF the East could be made profitable in this
regard. We have heard experienced farmers
say in this State, that no stock was as easily
reared and none 50 profitable as sheen. At
this time wool is a scarce article and in de-
mand. 1t always commands a market
Lamb and mutton have been found 70 he
cheap and the most wholesome food, and vet
good lamb and mutton are always scarce in
most OF our towns. The idea prevails among
strangers, who visit the State, that we can
hardly produce good mutton; bat a little OBJ
servation Will convince one of the error
But 1t Is for the production of wool that the
rearing of sheep should be eaeouraced-
Scarcely any pursuit in North Garolina would
be more profitable. The chief difficulty that
we have heard urged, is the destruction to
the flock by the dogs Unfortunately. there
Is some truth m that. Were we IN iudoa
from what we have seen in oar peregrinations.
there are about as many dogs in North Car
olina as these aye sheep. We speak of four
legged dogs. And more than all. it costs
about as much to keep the dogs in good bark
ing order, as it does the sheep. The most ex-
pehslye, destructive and worthless propertv
IN the State, is the dogs that are in it. They
are prohtless consuHaerS, and neither work nor
pay State taxes. Above three-fourtbs IS tbo,,

Free Masonry.

Masonry has a language by which men of
all nations, kindred and tongues are united
IN one band Of brotherhood. To specify the
advantages which have resulted to individu-
ais and to the community from the institu-
tion' would be but to give a particular bisto-
ry OF 1t from its first establishment to the
present day.
How often has its benign influence rcliev-
ed the way-worn Traveller, and sent him on his
way rejoicing; how often has the shipwrecked
mariner owed his salvation from a waterv
grave to the grand hailing sign of distress
which has spoken to his faithful brethren ON
the shore louder than the wind and waves :
Nay, even in the din of battle, the first iov
oil the combat, when ferocity RACES and mcr.
cy signs farewell, has the spirit Of Masonry
m'erposed, stayed the uplifted sabre, and
spared the blood of the FRUSTRATED victim.

Temperance Sermons, or Lectures.

We are glad to observe that the friends of
Temperance, in different parts of the State.
are calling to their aid ministers and laymen
to illustrate and enforce their principles by
means of sermons and lectures. This is an
important method of spreading the hight and
directing public attention to the great designs
OF the Temperance reformation, and We notice
1t IN order to add our voice to persuade and
urge the clergy of all denominations. and the
intelligent laymen, TO be more active in this
work.
The difficulty of saying anything neu, or
OF presenting anything very striking. or Of
interesting the masses upon t~his.subiect, has
led many, whose hearts are still alive to the
interests of the cause, to relax their efforts
Many who formerly raised their voices against
the demon of Alcohol nave ceased on these
accounts to sound the alarm. Hence, MANY
OF the advocates of the cause have become
languid, and many who were formerly with
us have given up in despair. How unwise
is this?
Agitation-agitation is necessary to keer
alive any benevolent enterprise. In order "a
effect mans salvation, the messenger Of the
cross must continue to 'cry aloud and spar,
not, must give them Zine upon line and
precept upon precept." If so, how much
more necessary is it in order to success in
moral enterprises?
But while we urge the importance of ser
mons and lectures, it is the duty of every
temperance man to use his own personal n.
iuence and exertions to.back up these publi,
efforts. Let the pulpit and the rostrum thun
der forth their anathemas against the sin and
the rum OF intemperance, but let not the rank
and file neglect to follow them up with pri
vate appeals and admonitions.
And brethren, friends, one and all. is it no,
,lme-hish time-to be moving steadily 70
encrgetlcally in this good work? Some ar,
at 1t IN good earnest, but it is time that al
were at it and always at it.

The Eage for Amusement.

llls has been called the age of progress,
the busy age, the utilitarian age, besides 9th
'erS' but 1t may as justly be called-if not
more so-the age of fun, of amusement
About one half of the people are rorkers-
are plying their physical and mental energies
in the development of the resources Of the
country-in striking out new schemes of pro.
gress. This class is opening up new channels
OF underwriting new apparatus for the
Improvement of mechanical enterprise-sub-
originating the principles of science and the
results of experience to the economical wants
OF man. They are the real producers of the
country-those who provide all the means for
the supply ofman's mental, physical and NOR
al wants. Thus one half ofthe race work for
the other.
The Other half ;c iuGoleut consumers, who
spend one h. If of their time in gratifying the

ton. Beyond the necessities of the animal
in eating and sleeping, the rest is occupied in
the pursuit of tan. a fetid curiosity-insa-
table in its demands-controls them. and
they are never satisfied unless the imagina.
ton or the fancy is constantly surfeited.
Many of the sources to which they run
may be innocent and even beneficial. if the
desire for them is qualified to a proper ex.
tent. But there is, perhaps, at this time, No
greater evil existing among mankind than tbs
inordinate desire which prevails so general,
to seek amusement, OF fun, at any cost !
matters not what tits, from a puppet show t.
a theatrical accommodation a hand-organ
with a dancing monkey, to a circus-a gifted
danseuse to a clumsy mountebank-a musica
soiree to the screaking of a fddle-anythin,
and everything that has FUN in it is sough
with a mania.
Inc evil consequences upon society Of thi
state of things is This spirit is

men who are carried away by this influence
scarcely dream Of steady, profitable employ
ment- This throws them into the compan

is the idle and vicious increase their number.
1t encourages a light, chaffy spirit, wholly il
consistent with and destructive to the du
performance of the sober duties of life. Tn
habit grows and soon brings a full crop
ruin. 1t encourages waste and extravaganc,
and a total disregard to the value of none,
Thousands are thus spent-to the ruin, O

Appearances.

How often are we deceived by appearan-
ees. 1t is trite old proverb, that s'all men
are not what they seem to be- We some
times see ''the sacred character of virtue
shine on a villains countenance :" and we
sometimes suspect him on whom we find 'the
shadowed livery of the burning sun" incur
red by toll and labor, to be one whom it were
not safe to trust; but when we test his char
acter, we find that
"That gloomy outside, like a rusty chest,
Contains the shining treasure Of SOUL"
as true, as honorable, as brave as ever throb-
bed in human bosom. And when we try
them by the standard of worth, we find them
commanding the fullest need of our confidence
and respect.
So, too, Of the actions ofothers. We are too
apt to judge harshly of what appears to us
wrong and reprehensible in others, before as
certaining whether we may not be mistaken
as to that upon which we base our harsh
judgment 1t is a safe maxim-"Be charitable
in your judgment of others" and if we COM
NIT an error, and it be on the side of charity
while it does us NO harm, il may save us from
iniiicting a pang, perhaps a deep injury, upon
him upon whom we set in Judgment.
Better confde, and be deceived,
A thousand times by treacherOus foes.
Than once accuse the innocent,
OrIet suspicion mar repose-"

lntemperance among Negroes.

One of the strongest evidences of +ho g.,
tilty OF Legislative enactment to prevent the
abuse of a privilege which is made lawful for
a white man, is the total inadeonacy of The
lev which have been passed to prevent the
sale of alcoholic liquors to negroes, except up-
on certain conditions. To license a LIQUOR
shop and then to prohibit the sale Of liquor
to negroes, in given cases, is an expenditure
OF time and policy as useless as the darling
of straws against the wind We believe there
are a few men who engage in this traffic who
have principle enough to obey the law, but
the larger portion Of them cannot be trusted
when there is a chance to make a dime under
any circumstances. Indeed, such persons
find from experience, that the negro trade is
large item in their account of sales in the
course of a year. 1t is almost impossible to
find a Nv is sufficiently reduced in
his circumstances and in his self-respect TO
engage in this neErieus business-vho has
any regard for the law, or who IS willing to
risk the loss of their trade by refusing TO sell
them liquor.
And to what an enormity is it growing?-
Drunkenness prevails to an alarming extent
among that class Of our population. In late
years the habit has been rapidly growing
among both sexes, and especially among the
females Hitherto trusty house-servants and
cooks-prizcd beyond their real value by their
owners, because Of their skill AID reliability
are forfeiting their confidence and becom-
ing worthless because of this growing habit.
Almost all of their vices and diseases may be
traced to this. Instances of insubordina-
ton, impertinence, as well as their more hei-
nous Offences, will be proved to originate in
this dreadful habit
Now, where do they get its Owners are
careful not to give them what they know will
; hurt them When it is kept about the mas
! ter's premises, if they love ii, they VII lie
sure to find means to secure their shd1t.-
But they seldom obtain enough by this means
to make them ~drunkards. Perhaps many Of
them by this means learn to drink and to love
it, but the next resort must be to the shorr,
stealthily, to obtain it Nor do they 70 in
vain There are always enough men Of the
: right stamp-licensed by the State-to lie,
: them have it, especially if they bring money,
4 or moneys north, to get it. Hence the Law
> is worthless and the more pernicious, because
: of the Inducements to be sly in carrying or
I the traffic.
The Legislature saw and felt the necessity
: Of extending its shield of protection over tn.
negro race, to guard them aginst the evils o
intemperance, but its sympathy is misplaced
and its wisdom has been shown to be a folly
by allowing the traffic at all, with white o,
u black, unless it had been careful to put it Oh
~ IN such hands as would make it safe t.
= white or black to allow them TO buy. As i
IS, the law is avoided continually, and the ne
groes and their owners are reaping the bit
ter rewards of Legislative folly.
