We commence, in this issue, the publica-
ton Of a capital Original Story, by our gifted
Contributor, CANINE GEoRGE-who has al

fifteen or twenty numbers of the Age. It is
written by one who has often contributed to
our columns, and his articles have been pc

We shall present many other attractive fea-
lures, and by every means in our power en-

Lectures.

JoHS @. SAKE, Esq, of Vermont, delivered
Lectures before the Young Mems Christian
Association Of Raleigh, in the Senate Cham
Der, on Friday and Saturday evenings last.
The audiences were large, and composed Of
much Of the beauty and intelligence of the
community.
The firstlecture was in Poetry and discours-
ed Of "LovE"-Loye maternal, matrimonial,
cupidcnial, patriotic, and love divine. l have
only time to say it abounded with brilliant
flashes Of wit, keen satire, and sly humor,
while occasionally the soft notes of pure mel
ody relied in rich cadenecs as the Poet Lee
turer sang Of the grandcr and more sacred
subjects Of his theme.
The second was a Prose lecture, on "Poe-
try and the Poets"-which l have heard spo-
ken Of in high terms of praise-not having
the pleasure Of hearing for myself
Mr.. Sake is certainly a very entertaining
Lecturer-has perfect command of a voice
with fine compass and yolubility, while his
face radiates with the genuine humor and
pleasantly with which his Lectures abound

..nriya on.n

The closing scene of the life of the labor
ious, eminently useful but eccentric Welsh
preacher, Christmas Evans, affords n ofthe
most sublime and beautiful incidents on re-
cord. We have often thought of it and con-
trasted it with the cold, hopeless exit of an
infidel or a moralist, as his spirit left the clay
tenement and huttered into the presence Of
God. He had been a faithful man and min
lister, and had been eminently successful
His feeble frame-worn down by labor and
disease-lay upon the death-couch, while his
pious friends stood breathlessly around to
witness his happy exit. His own spirit seem.
ed wrapped in heavenly contemplation, and
his few feeble u~tterances at the last gave on
that he knew the chariot was coming. Thu
vision of Eljah's triumphant fight seemed t.
fit athwart his mind. Just then-as if h
had taken his seat in the celestial car an,
spoken to the charlottesville all his remain
ing strength, he was heard to exclaim:-
ssDrive on drive on!' and his spirit left it
clay tenement and went up.

Special Notice.
New Dress.

We present the SPRiT or THE ACE, to-day, IN a
new dress, and think we can. without vanity, claim
that it is not surpassed by any for beauty OF typsg-
raphy. We have also'diminished the size of the type
used in the reading matter ON the outside pages, and
heightened the columns ofthe paper, so that the amount
of reading is increased some three or four columns.
And now we hope our efforts togive our readers one
of the handsomest papers in the country, and contain
ing as much reading matter as any, VIII be apprecia-
ted by our friends, and that they WIN manifest their
appreciation by exerting thenfselvesto increase the
number Of our Subscribers. We have expended near
y a thousand dollars this year on improvements in onr
office, for the benefit of our Patrons as well as our
selves and we confidently expect they will see that
we are reimbursed, by a largely increased number OF
subscribers. We want now to procure a new Press,
of larger dimensions, but must wait to receive THE
MEANS to do SO, by a large influx of new subscribers,
which we confidently anticipate.
We now offer to the Southern reading public a first
class Family Paper, as cheap as they can get one from
the North-osLK ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, in clubs. In
point Of literary merit, from Contributors, and selec-
tons made, it viii not suffer in comparison with 9TH
ers. As a Family Visitor it Is welcomed by thousands
of the most enlightened and discriminating in the
land. As a Temperance advocate, acknowledges nc
superior in zeal and earnestness for the promotion o.
the cause. And as a general NEWSPAPER. it keeps its
readers welLposted upon the important and interest
ing current events Of the day taking care, however
to eschew every thing Of an unchaste and immora
character, which are SO well calculated to vitiate tn
public taste, and corrupt the youth of the land
In a word, we are publishing a Paper designed t
instruct and edify all classes of good society-youn
and oid-and We appeal to the friends Of a pure soutf
! ern literature, for their aid in the enterprise We wal
ten thousand subscribers-and such . paper, for OF
i, dollar q year, ought to receive them. We earnest
! call upon every one who shall read this-whether
North Carolina or in another State-to try and get
J up a club. Our heartfelt thanks to our numerol
: friends, to whom we are indebted for SO many pa
I fayors.

Coon SENsE.-A gentleman sends us some
subscribers, and says:-sThe last mentioned
name is my little son about 9 years of age
l take a copy of the Age for myself and wife;
but my little daughter and son are so anxious
to read the Age, that they cannot wait till
their mother and myself have perused it. l
therefore send for a copy which shall be their
own; and l feel in my heart that it will be a
good investment. As my children grow up
and become able to read, l intend to put a
copy of your paper into their hands. Who
knows what good it may do? One thing is
very certain, it willhelp in forming their char
acters for usefulness and honor in society
And if a few dollars shall be the instrument
under God, of making my sons thorough
Temperance men, Oh how glad | shall be"
In this connection we will repeat a remark
made to us in our Office not long since, by a
veteran in the Temperance cause: He said
he had been noticing the effect and influence
of Temperance sentiment exerted in the fami-
ly circle for many years, and he had never
known an instance where the Spirit of the
Age was taken in a family, and the father
was a Son of Temperance, that the sons were
Incorporate. But on the contrary he knew
! several instances in which the fathers wer,
strict tetotalers, but did not take the Spiri
ofthe Age and held aloof from the Sons o
Temperance, and their sons were WORTHLESS

The Spring.

The past has been SO unusual a winter,
marked by such sudden changes and such a
super-abundance of rain, that we feel quite
willing to shake hands with his hoary locks
and greet smillngly gentle Spring. The lat
ter comes in as soft and tender as a lamb; too
much 50, we fear. for the security of an album
dant crop of fruit. The buds are swelling
ready to burst-the birds are warbling their
notes as il the breath Of Summer had been
blown on US. Butalasi like youth-of which
it is a striking emblem-spring, with its
bright hopes and beauties, may be blasted in
q day.
