What is Every Body Doing.

What are the Sons" or others, doing in
the cause of Temperance in these days of
trial, gloom and anxiety? Have they sur
rendered all the mighty interests of this
great enterprise, and given up every thing !
to the devil and strong drink I? We fear so.
We no where hear Of Divisions, Societies or
iudivid1ats euing any thing TO ssay ther~va
ges of this fearful destroyer. If all exertion
in this respect be Withdrawn, the consequent
ces are dreadful to contemplate. Let any
one look out upon the state of affairs in our
country with regard to the use of strong
drinks, and if the heart is not made sick, and
the fond hopes of patriots and good men be
not greatly darkened and saddened, then
callous indeed must they be to their coun-
try's welfare. or wofufly ~disregardful of the,
direful evils that. threaten us as a nation.
From the present unrestrained and unre-
buked intemperance so common in the land,
will grow up giant evils that will corrupt.
every pure fountain and bring sorrow and
mourning OF the darkest hue into every home.
Who can contemplate the prospect without
a shudderl And yet, who makes the slight
est effort to avert the gathering storm p
VINO is there now that sends out a warning
voice.. Alas the preachers of the temper
ance gospel have become dumb. Men who
were once such Jealous defenders OF temper
ance principles have turned to speculation
and m~oney-making, and there are none to
sound the alarm, or give a kindly word Of
admonition! What are the Sons" doing
Nothing!. What are Ministers of the Cos
pei doing? Nothing =! What are even tnt
Women of the country doing, whs suffer 81
much from this cause? Nothingl Ever,
body is doing nothing, and the food rolls OF
unchecked and unrestrained.
But what are boys, our young men ant
old ones, too, doing ? They are gulping tn
devils broth at a dollar a drink, and fttin,
themselves to be accuse to their countr,
and Tor a home with old Nick! What a pro:
pect-and yet who stirs ? Nobody.

Mania for Dark Rooms.

American women have a strange mania
for dark rooms, but hear what Florence
Nightingale, in her Notes Of Nursing" says
on the sui ject:
A dark house is always an unh a,thy
house, always an ill-air-d house, always a
dirty house. Wart Of light stops growth.
and promotes ~rofula. rckels. etc, among
children. People lose their health in dark
house. and if they get i'll. they cannot get
we'll again in it. Three, out Ct many neg.
LICENCES and ignorances in managing the
health of houses generally, | will here mem
,on rs specimens. First, that the female
head in charge Of any building does not
think it necessary to visit every hole and
corner Of it every dav. How can she expect
that those under her will bs more careful
To maintain her house in healthy c,ndilion
than she who is in charge Of l' Second,
that it is not considered essential TO air. TO
sun, and to clean rooms uninhabitei; which
is simply ignoring the first elementary notion
"t sanitary things, and LAYING the ground
for all kinds of diseases Third, that one
window is considered enough to air room.
Don't imagine that If YOU who are in charge
and don, look to all these things yourself,
those under you will he more care tul than
YOU are. 1t appears as il the part of the

and to accept their exruses-not to show

"A gentleman just from Kentucky in
forms us that on last Saturday morning
about daylight, a party of gucrrillas,
dressed in Federal uniform, went into the
village of South Union, (Shaker;own,) a
Station on the Memphis Branch of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroads fired
the Depot three box cars, two loaded
with corn, and destroyed several corn
pens. The depot, with its contents, was
entirely consumed, as was also two Of
the cars. One of the cars and the corn in
the pens were saved in somewhat dam
aged condition by the Shakers and other
citizens in the vicinity, after the guerril-
las left. The depot contained several
thousand bushels of wheat, two or three
hogsheads Of tobacco, with a large
amount of miscellaneous goods, The
loss is heavy, falling nearly, if not en-
tirely upon private citizens.
II is not known that the government
had any property there. The guerrillas
after having accomplished their work Of
destruction took the road leading toward
Greenville, in Muhlenburg county.
Col. BRrTow, Of tho Sth Kentucky

ately on getting information Of the fact

THEATRE.-The theatre last night was
filed with large and fashionable au-
dience, Notwithstanding the inclement
weather. "Satan in Paris" or the "Mys-
terious Stranger" was put upon the
stage in manner that could not fail TO
be acceptable TO an appreciative audi
ence. The piece was cast with the full
strength Of the company-which by the
way is second TO none in the Western
cities--and the performance, throughout,
was all that even the fastidious critic
could desire. We have no disposition,
in this instance, to particularize, for all
did well. Mr.. DUFFTLD's singing has
always been received with hearty APP
plause, and last night was not an excep-
ton, by any means. We did not stay
to see "Mr. and Mrs. PETER WHITE" bu
presume it was well received. Tonight
the theatre offers a most attractive bill
"Naval Engagements" and the musica
drama of "Kate Kearney."
