Risky Business.

tell you, sir, it is a risky business to
touch the brain. A minister of the gospel
told me of a member of his congregation. as
noble a fellow as ever there

much as he, though only a member of the
congregation, for the support of the Gospel
rich, sleeping partner in a firm in New York
with a wife and one child living in good
style. The only fault the minister had to
find with him was, he would occasionally take
a glass OF wine, and would give it to the
young men and he said he had often talked
with him about it.-One day he saw him
playing with his boy, and asked him; ssDo
you love your son ?" "Love him noble little
fellow | Hove him better than nv own life.n-
you would not harm him ?' Harm him

that glass of wine" Stop, you are a

a glass if wine hurting this boy-that | am

the house came to see him on some business.

twelve miles distant. He was one of those
men mighty to drink wine, and a man of
strength TO mingle strong drink !" and there
is no blessing pronounced on such men, that
we can find in the Bible. But he drank this
man drunk for the first time in his life and
when they got to the hotel, the city gentle
man laughed at his maudlin companion. and
said: wonder what his wife will say to
that" Returning, they drove up to the gate,
and the child, with his mother, was on the
marble steps, waiting for papa. In stepping
from the car iage, the drunken mans foo

Look thou not upon the Wine"
o, touch not thou the fatal cup,
'Tis poisoned to the brim;
Twill mar thy noble, polished brow,
Thy souls bright sunlight dim.
And for the brilliance Of thine eye,
The maniae's stare will give;
And mid tho ruins OF thy soul
Romorse win reign and live.
There was n youth, to manhood grown,
OF high and noble soul,
To whom the monster offered soon
The intoxicating bowl;
at will not harm, y the monster cried,
ITO quafr this single cup;'
lie weakly yielded to his voice,
And drank the enyenomed sup.
Bright pleasure oped her gay saloons,
In costly brilliance decked,-
Where dark intemperance rolls his food,
And many q barque Is wrecked
Invited there the youth to come;
Again and yet again he quaffs,
TIL bowed 10 his once noble form,
Consumed by deadly draughts.
His lovely bride, whose heart 30 pure
She on loves altar laid,
Long watched for him through nights lone hours,
And sadly wept and prayed.
The scalding tears did trace her cheeks,
Her eyes bright azure dim,
While he with vilest debauches
Revealed In haunts OF sin.
Her heart, like ivy tendrils, twined
Close around that ruined form,
But now the clouded time had come,
The cruel, blasting storm,
And she tho broken-hearted, frail,
Sunk TO an early grave;
On her he gszed in mute despair,
Then did he wildly rave.
lie loved her dear, and DER her vowed
TO touch the cup no more,
But soon his wild companions came,
And all his vows were DER.
lie deeply drank and tottered soon
Into the awful tomb,
Was summoned to the judgment bar
To hear the drunkard's doom.
20, youth, the fearful warning take,
Touch not the wine cup red,
And with u noble, manly strength,
Turn from the monster dread.
For like an adder-should'st then drink,
Twill sting thy soul at last;
Its deadly bite will pierce thy heart,
Fen when LIES voyage is past.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
@. Planter.

gu IL US1
FOR 1861.
Notwithstanding the lack of encourage
ment that our State Agricultural Periodical
has received during the three years of it's
publicatlon-notwithstanding it has FAILED
TO PAY ANY THING ABOVE ExpENsEs-the
Editor and Publisher nave determined to
make one more effort to bring it before the
public, with a hope to place it at least on a
self-sustaining footing.
To effect this, we have determined to give
it a more imposing form, to increase the
amount of reading matter, and yet at the
same time to offer it at GREATLY RE-
DUCED RATES.
At the last meeting of the North Carolina
State Agricultural Society, the NORTH CAR
oLINA PLANTER was recommended to the
Agriculturists ofthe State, as a work worthy
OF their patronage-not only on the score
of its being a home journal, (Which should,
of course, have its weight and influence on
all patriotic sons of the old North State but
also on account of its intrinsic excellence.
Wenowi issue it in a new form, and send a COPY
of it, together with this Prospectus, to our
present subscribers and to many who are not
subscribers, earnestly requesting ALL who
receive a copy, to get up a list of subscribers
on the following
TERMS:
One copy one year, s 1 90
Five copies +" 4 90
Ten copies and upwards go cents each.
Twenty copies and upwards 30 cents each.
For So we willsend the back Nos. for 1853.
1859, 1860, so far as we have them, each
year of which is complete except the Janu-
airy No. and also for 1861 complete.
Every man in favor of the South sustain
ing her W publications and interests. is
earnestly requested to give US his co-opera-
ton in procuring subscribers to the n. c..
Planter.
POSTMASTERS are earnestly appealed to
for their aid-and all such as are disposed
to accept, we appoint as our authorized
Agents and to those sending a club of five
