sI Have a Right to Drink"

Says the user of intoxicating drinks. If
we grant that man has right to waste his
money, impair his health, blast his intellect,
and pollute his affections, as an individual,
he has no right to inflict an injury upon 9TH
ers.
Man is a social being, and ''no man lveth
to himself"
Is he husband? Then he can not right
fully crush wife's affection, blight her hopes
and kindle fire that will consume her inno-
cent and loving heart
Is hea father2 Then he cannot without
guilt beggar his offspring, and send them
forth unprotected to bear the obloquy and
disgrace of being the descendants of drunk
ard.
Is be a citizen? Drinking units man
for the intelligent exercises of the right of suf
frage. 1t incapacitates him to be legislator,
Judge or magistrate. II, then, man can moi
drink without peril to family and society
his right is the same of the thief or highway
man
We claim that the following propositions
are true, and need no argument to enforce
theml y
l. Every individual is bound to take car,
of himself and do nothing which will injur,
his physical, intellectual or moralnature, ant
that he can not drink without engendering
disease, impairing his intellect, and harden
| ing his heart.
The man who drinks violates the law of tn.
social relations, and eadangers the peace ant
security of society. CRUSADER.

a close scrutiny, but no house, groggery or
not, was found to be kept by Phenlss Nc
Finn John Garland, however, noticed du

tired from the street, which he hoped might
be the object of their search; but this opin-

What win They Say.

There is no guessing what people win sayi
No one need act this way, or that way TO
avoid the gossip of mankind Folks will
talk, and when talking is done, the balance
of living beings may expect to be noticed
The sciences, the arts, literature, letters in
any form, are now completely ignored in
conversation, whilst domestic history and BIZ
ography are read and reviewed, expanded
and illustrated, to suit the taste ofthe hearers.
Do what is right and let folks talk on. But
who viii do thiss How many have acted
contrary to better Judgment and it may
be contrary to conscience, with no other end
in view than TO avoid what the world might
say. The standard ofright or wrong is public
opinion-the most corrupt standard, ever
adopted in morals. When we are engaged
in an honorable enterprise, .iInpeiled BY pro-
per motives, with lawful end in view, We
too often stop to consider what this one or
that one will say I; and trembling at this fool
ish fear, we lose sight Of duty, and pursue
shadow. Few men in, our day, in public
or private walks, are carrying out their own
ways through life. They are slaves to pub
lie opinion and the dupes Of somebody. A
word from some man, feared or loved, shapes
the actions of some other man who is his
slave. 1t is too frequently the case that the
man in a public place is swayed by an enc
my whom he fears. We have very few firm
and unwavering men, who dare do what is
right though the heavens fail; bat syco-
plants may be collected by the thousands
We fear gossip, and yet we never escape 1t.

0vER-TRADNG.-We learn that Northern
exchange is very scarce, both here and else
where in the State; that consequently North
Carolina bank notes are largely sent North
to pay debts or purchases, and Immediately
returned for redemption by the banks. All
these signs show that, abundant as have been
thecrops in this State andhigh the prices they
have commanded, miss Flora Nc Flimsey'sn
demands for silks and laces have been yet
more extensive. Perhaps, also, Miss Flora's
beaux are somewhat responsible for getting
the balance of exchange on the wrong side.

PAPERIsG RooMs.-The Scientific American
remarks that many lives have been lost from
the laziness or ignorance ot the paper hang
ers who have laid one paper above another
instead Of tearing of the cid before hanging
the new. There was very handsome house
near one of our best provincial towns, which
could never keep its tenants. A ready-wit-
ted observer promised the owner to find out
the cause. He traced the mischief to one
room, and presently conjectured what was
the matter there. He let slip of glass
into the- wall, and found it next day
dimmed with fntid, condemned vapor.-
He tore of strip Of paper, and found
abundant cause for any amount of fever
For generations the walls had been papered
afresh without the removal of anything un-
derneath- And there was the putrid size
and the fermenting old paper inchesdeep.-
A thorough clearance, saaping and clearing
put an end to the fever, and restored the val
ue of the house.
