New Divisions.

The Grand Scribe has recently issued
Charters for four new Divisions of the Sons
of Temperance in North Carolina, viz Ora
Wing Grove Division, in Person county =
Henderson Division, in Granville county, and
Eureka Division in Rowan county. And he
is in correspondence with members Of sew
eral defunct Divisions, with a view to their
revival. He has the pleasure of stating also,
/ that the Returns of the Divisions for the
past quarter, now coming in, manifest a spir
it of activity in many sections, and give
promise Of renewed interest and zeal for thu
promotion of the good cause.
We are informed also that several indepen
dent Temperance societies have recentl
sprung up in different localities. One i
Chatham, inaugurated under the auspices
Sidney Smith, Esq, very recently, has a
ready one hundred members, and is accom-
plishing an immense amount of good in tn
community.
Good news, indeedi Let US roll on tt

of Temperance, must not be neglected f
the cause of politics. 1t is true that no P

It is a Social BLESSING.

Inc ofaet OF the Sens Of Temperance
brings untold blessings to the social family
circle--the wife-the motber-tbe da,
ter; and to the husband, father and br,,b
er. In the beautiful language of our Ritu-
Alt is not the Son of Temperance whose
wife shrinks at his advance who Let
honor, mocks and spurns her at his
1t is not the Son of Temperance wboso

buoyant heart and step, the partner of his
bosom looks up and smiles his welcome. his
children fly to meet him, their little arms
embrace him, with lip and heart they bless
him, and each rejoice in their sanctuary Of
peace and comfort
Is there nothing desirable here ? Is therea
Christian patriot whose heart is not touched
q with gratitude, and is not ready to say
: hail-Sons Of Temperance hail, welcome
II to our State-to our Viilage-to our heart.
d Where is the father who sees in the Di-
vision a ~prodigal son, once the anguish of

old age, who does not hail the instrument

Partisan Excuses.

There is nothing connected with party
strife and contention, more to be deprecated
than personal yituperation and invective. All
parties agree that it is especially unbecoming
in this free country, where the constitution
and laws guarantee to each and every citizen
freedom of opinion, of speech, and of the
Press, when not made the vehicle of SANDER.
abuse or treason. But ever since
ties have been divided into parties, these ex-
ceSses and enormities have been INDUCED in,
to the disturbing of the peace of society, and
endangering the guarantees of personal rights
and immunities.
In looking over an old volume recently, we
noticed a statement, that about a century and
a halt ago, when party politics ran very high
in England, a sage old conservative of thuse
tunes proposed, that the honest men of all
parties should enter into a kind of association
Tor the defense Of 0 another, and the confu
sion OF their common enemies. Such A neu-
trail boy it was hoped, or intended. should
act with a regard to nothing but truth and
equity, and divest themselves of the little
heats and prepossesSions that cleave to par
ties of all kinds.
The following form of an association had
been prepared, as the platform of action =
I'VE whose names are hereto subscribed
do %solemnly declare, that we do in our con-
sciences believe two and two make four: ant
L
that we shall adjudge any man whatsoever te
be our enemy who endeavors to persuade u
to the contrary. We are likewise ready t.
maintain with the hazard of all near AMI dea
to us, that six is less than seven in al time
and IN all places and that ten will not b
more three years hence than it is now "
do also firmly declare, that it is our resolution
as long as We live to call black black. an
white white. And we shall, upon ali occs
slons, oppose such persons as call black whit
and white black, with the utmost peril of GU
lives and fortunes"
In our humble opinion such an idea as col
tanned IN the above, though of an ancient dat
has yet some pith of common sense in it.
Our present days and circumstances could n
be injured by carrying practically out amor
us this idea of I'LL.
Such a combination of honest men-su,
as Diogenes sought for with a lighted cand
by day-and though they may be few, y
make bold to boast that there are some sue
yet among us-who, without any regard

We wish We could say something that
would cause our friends who have rather I'M
consciously and undesignedly, or in any 9th
er manner, suffered themselves to be severed
from our Order, to return again to their first
love, and labor with US as of yore, for God
and humanity. Never were the evils of
intemperance more widespread. The cries
of the struggling victim to free him from
the tolls in which he has been caught,
appeal to US with increased intensity
Suffering womanhood and neglected orphan
age send up their ca nest prayers to US not
to desert them in their time of triai, till we
have saved their husbands, fathers. sons and
brothers from the inebriate's degradation and
woe! Shall we turn a deaf ear to their
entreaties and heartles>ly allow them 10 20

to save ?-Shall we have them charge Us
with a want of faithfulness, else they might
have been saved from a ~drunkard's hopeless

We would send then a clarion voice into
the ear of every Son of Temperance, and of
all who have ever belonged to our Order,
once more to come out and take a bold.

andferyency for the rescue ofouf fellowmen.
Has your Division gone down ? Set to work
then, with a determination that it shall be
revived and flourish again. Such a resolution
formed and carried cut by five good and
true men, will ensure a prosperous and useful
Division. Is your Division in a cold, leth-
argic condition ? Visit an pns your breth-

The Last Reading.

In one of the coal mines of England,
youth about fifteen years Of age, was working
by the side of his father, who was pious
man, and governed and educated his family
according to the Word of God.
The father was in the habit of carrying
with him small pocket-Bible, and the son,
who had received one at the Sunday school,
initiated his father in this. Thus he always
had the sacred volume with him, and when
ever he enjoyed season of rest from la.
Dor, he read it by the lig ght of his lamp. They
worked together in newly opened section of
the mine, and the father had just stepped
aside to procure tool, when the arch above
them suddenly fell between them, so that his
father supposed his child to be crushed. He
ran toward the place and called to his son,
who at length responded from under dense
mass Of earth and coal.
My son., cried the father, 'are you liv-
ing?
Yes, father, but my legs are under
rock
Where is your lamp, my son!
1t is still burning, father.
What will you do, my dear son g
I am reading my Bible, father and the
Lord strengthens me-
These were the last words of that Sunday
scholar; he was soon suffocated.

How the President, Dressed.

N. P. Willis, in q recent letter to the
Home Jomrnal, gives the following account
of the way in which our busy chief magistrate
dressed for the dinner he gave to Prince
Napoleon
Honest Abe'-God bless him can afford
10 let posterity enjoy the story! The official
dinner to the Prince was to come off, at 7
p. NJ but that was not to interfere, fortu-
natey, with the playing of the Marine Band,
in the grounds of the White House-a prom
enade luxury given to the Washington public
every Saturday, from 5 O'Clock til 7 z. NJ -
At the appointed hour the red coated music
ians took their places, as usual, under the
pavilion in the centre; and the crowd began
to gather among the hower-beds and shrub.
berries, and to stroll through the well-gravelled
walks, and stand, in picturesque groups of
uniforms and white dresses, around the foun-
tain on the lawn.
'Of party of six or eisht-(our English
friends having delighted!y accompanied us to
the festive scene) e)--there were two or three
tired promenaders who turned occasionally to
the ornamental iron seats scattered here and
