A Word of Caution +.

In these times of deep excitement, we trust
our brother Sons of Temperance will allow
US to utter a word of caution to them, not to

desert our banner in order to enlist under

both into the fight. The bayonet and cannon

These words have fallen from the pen Of
the renowned Bulwer, to be borne to the
criminals prison, the beggar's bed, the hum
BILE cottage and the kings palace, causing
each heart therein to thrill with delight, as
bright beams of hope d~ispelled the dark
clouds of despair that fingered around their
guilty hearts. Yes. they came to the hum
from Heaven, and to the laborer as soft mu-
sic froa a distance, that lulled him to sleep
while bright visions of his future arose before
him.
And thou, young man, who, with your
eagle gray eye and chestnut locks, was once
the pride of fond parents, pause and recall
the time when your mother with a woman's
tenderness, first cultured the garden of thy
heart and implanted there such seeds as
would, if they bloomed into perfection, adorn
the heart of man. With what anxiety she
watched day by day the budding of each
plant; and then bid thee launch forth upon
the ocean of learning and bring back a
mind and heart enriched with such gems
that thou couldst scatter the radiant seeds of
genius to the surrounding zephyrs, and pluck
the never fading flower, Fame, to adorn
thy youthful brow, little thinking that the
scorching rays of a fashionable rorld would
cause the cherished buds to wither, and that
your BRILL mt future was planned during the
golden splendor of that present, only to be
drowned in the wine cup beneath whose
sparkling brim' lies hid the most deadly O
poison, or forgotten by the side of a carl
table, which allures thee on to certain de
struction.

Take Courage.

1here are on record many instances of per-
sons, who, having wasted their early DAYS
in i~dleness, turned their attention to study
and succeeded beyond their most sanguine
expectations. Not a few, seeing that the
first part of their lives has been turned to no
account, become depressed and dispirited
and feel strongly inclined to throw away the
remainder through spite.
Cicero tells US in his discourse on sold
Age" that Socrates learned to play on mu-
steal instruments at the advanced age of
eighty, and that Cato at the same age be-
gan to devote himself earnestly to the study
of Greek literature.
Ogilby, the translator of Virgil anG Ho-
mer, knew nothing of Greek or Latin till he
was turned of fifty.
Alfred the Great, king of England, having
neglected his mind in his early days, began
to study at the age of thirty-eight. lie
then commenced the study of Latin, and az
forwards translated into Saxon, Bede's Hist,-
ria Ecclesiastical which is still regarded as
a valuable work in church history.
Hany, a French Mineralogist, commenced
his studies in the science at the age of thirty
eight. Accident led him to hear a lecture ON
Il, and be was so charmed that he gave mn
every thing else, devoted himself zealouslv
to 1t, and made some of the most important
discoveries of which the science can boast
Rousseau, one of the most celebrated of
Il n
the French novelistS, did no writing of any
that, exhibited no traces OF having procso5
ed from a gifted mind. After that ne gave
himself up to his pen with an unusual de-
gree of intensity, and soon gave to the
world some of his most brilliantly eloquent
novels.
Richard Owen, the Newton of natural his
tory, began life as a midshipman, and did
not enter upon the line of scientific research
in which he has since become so distin-
guished, until comparatively late in life.
Plutarch, the great historian, commenced
the study of Latin somewhere between sew.
enty and eighty.
r Sir Henry Spelman, a famous lawyer and
: achaeologist, did not commence his scientific
I studies until he was between fifty and sixty.
e After that he wrote many valuable works.
Aceorso, a great lawyer, observed that he
commenced the study of law late, that he
a might complete it the sooner.
To come nearer home, DR.. David Caldwell
to whose name is intimately connected will
y the early history of North Carolina, gradu
d. ated at Princeton, at the age Of thirty-sis
e and completed his theological course at tn
IL age of thirty-nine. 1t is useless to remarl
r. that he was one of the most useful men c
his day.

A Weekly Family News paper.


We see it stated as a fact in some OF our
religious exchanges, that the statistics OF the
Baptist Churches in America (and we pre-
sumo Of other denominations also) show a
larger proportionate increase OF membership
during the revolutionary war than at any
other time. And it is further stated, that
in many parts of the Southern States the
Gospel has never been preached with more
success than during the past five months,
Notwithstanding the intense political excite
ment that has prevailed.
These are inspiring facts, and should serve
to impress zeal and fervor into the hearts

strong arm we depend for aid in this day of
our defence and conflict-'For the Lord your
God is he that goeth with you. to fight for

And in an humble, subordinate sense, may
we not invoke Sons of Temperance not to lay
down their armor of resistance to king Alco-
hol, in this day of trial and peril. Now is
the time, of all others, when sobriety should
prevail in the land. One drunken soldier
may lose the vantage ground of a nearly won
victory. One booty sentinel may allow the
enemy's spies to reconnoitre and rush in up
on an otherwise ~well-guarded fort. Let us
all, then, redouble our efforts to enlist recruits
under our glorious banner of "Loye, Purity
and Fidelity Love to our country and our
purpose,

No truer soldiers will be found in all the
chivalrous, brave-hearted legions of the South,
than Sons Of Temperance; and with steady
nerves, clear, sober heads, and undaunted
hearts they will rush into the conflict and &c
gallant service in defence Of their homes ane
their native land. And as we want steady
sober men to stand shoulder to shoulder witt
