H Is Good for Nothing"

The intellect, as well as the physical pow
ers of man, are not always developed at an
early age. The casket in which the mind is
deposited, is sometimes unfavorable to early
development, hence the habit Of some quick
tempered persons in decrying and abusing
children as dolts and blockheads, often their
own children, cannot be too severely repre-
hended. If child is deficient in mental or
physical capacity, he cannot help it, nor should
he be mistreated on account of it; and yet
nothing is more common Vicious tenden-
cies or practices in children, which ought to
be promptly curbed or corrected, are often
noticed and laughed at by parents, as indica-
tons of precocity or smartness, and the lit
tie sinner is applauded; while dullness of APP
p~rehension, or stupidity, or inertness, are
abused and blamed, if not punished. Such
cruelty is without apology or excuse.
There is Bob, if dressed up and properly
cared for, would be a good looking, innocent
boy, and has the elements ola man, but as
yet his bright parts have not been brought
out. He has been told time and again, that
he was stupid, and good for nothing, until
he begins to feel that it must be so. His
sense of shame has been destroyed, until he
has become Indifferent and obstinate, and
having had no spur to his ambition, no kind
encouraging word to make him lift up his
head, he goes downcast and looks pitifulfy.-
He is afraid of his own name, or rather, tn,
nickname which has been given him, anC
hence he hears the sharp cry of-"Bob ! 70,
Bobl" with trepidation and alarm. He is
careless of himself and his clothes, and ha
become a regular sni6aer. He is growing u
ignorant, untractable, and soon will be vi
cious. Has he no friends Is there no on
to utter for him the pleasant, sprightly
name of Robert! Call him by that more er
phonious and kinder name, and at once yo
will see that there is fire in his eye. 1t put
hope in his heart and new life in his limbs
Put your hand on his head and say a kin

The Wines of Scripture.

We publish this week, No. 3, of a series OF
articles on this subject, from the pen OF kew.
PETER DoUB, D. d., who has given the mat
tiers in question more attention and mvest1ga-
ton than perhaps any other man in the State,
if not the entire south These papers were
prepared at the request of the Committee on
Tracts, of the Grand Division of North Caro-
lima. and will be issued In Tract form, for gen
eral circulation, at an early day. Tract No.
4, completing the series, will probably be
ready in a few weeks.
The positions taken by Or. Doub are indis-
putably fortified by the numerous passages
in the olden times, the ffermeahftee99 F 1YHy sh IA even
days, when We may suppose they were free
of all deleterious extraneous substances, and
therefore what is now denominated pure"
they were intoxicating, and were denounced
with curses by the prophets and fathers in
Israel.
He also proves by the writings of missiona-
ries and travellers in the wine-growing coun-
tries of the old world, in these days, that
drunkenness prevails there to an alarming
extent, and that this drunkenness is occasion
ed by the wines of those countries.
; These statements and views, we know, ars
at variance with those of some highly respect
able and veracious citizens of our own coun
try, who have Travelled in France, Spain, Italy
&c. Without at all meaning to impugn th'
n veTacity of these latter, we incline to the opin
5 ion that they have not been so circumstance
E perhaps, as to see the drunkenness which tn
$ former class of writers-men of undOubted We
racity, also-assure US they found in France
!, India and other places,
However, we shall not attempt to decid
y between the statements of these varying wri
ss. tiers. We only ask all to read DR.. Doub'
N able, and to our mind conclusive articles, an
pc then decide for themselves-both as to tn
C. ancient and modern views of the case presel
