THE ABsURDITY OF DRTNKING.-It has
become sort of popular almost national
faith that it is not possible to be truly hap
ply unless you drink. Among certain class
es-and they are by no means exclusively
the lowest-drinking is the beginning and
end of everything. The very name of liquor
Is held Synonymous with enjoyment, and the
dearer the liquor the more it is priced and
coveted. Yet every man who is not down
right drunkard, is we'll aware that the pleas
ures of drinking are, beyond a certain point
mockery, delusion and snare. 1 put it to
any one who has stood half the night in a
club room, drinking, smoking, and handy
ing reckless talk, if the enjoyment of such
an evening has been anything like that OF
few quiet hours spent at home with book
or newspaper? The evil influence of pleas
ure on the health is too obvious to be denied
by any one, and the illusory nature of the
pleasures themselves would he nndeniable,
also, if the persons who indulge in them did
not deceive themselves and put truth out of
sight.
No one ever brought any good out of a
drinking bout yet. 1t is short teverish
spasm of animal enjoyment, which leaves
nothing but moroseness, regret, bad temper,
self-reproach, and headache

DANIEL WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND
Jenny Lind gave concert ut Washington
during the session of Congress, and sent in
vitations to the President, Mr. Fillmore, the
members of the Cabinet, Mr.. Clay, and many
other distinguished members of both houses
of Congress. 1t happened that day several
members of the Cabinet were dining with
Mr. Bndisco, the Russian Minister. His
good dinner and choice wines had kept the
party so late that the concert was nearly
over when Webster, Clay, Crittenden and
others came in. Whether the hurry in which
they came, or from the heat of the room,
their faces were little fiurricd. After the
applause with which these gentlemen had
been received had subsidized and silence was
once more restored, the second part of the
concert was opened by Jenny Lind with
Hail Columbia. At the close OF the first
verse Webster's patriotism boiled over; he
could stand it no longer; and rising, like
Olympian Jove, he added his deep sonorous,
bass voice to the chorus Mrs. Webster, who
sat Immediately behind him, kept Juggling
at his coat tail to make him sit down or
stop singing, but it was of no earthly use,
and at the close of each verse Webster join
ed in, and it was hard to say whether Jenny
Lind, Webster or the audience were the most
delighted. At the close OF the air, Mr.. Web
ster arose, hat in hand, and made her bow
as Chesterfield would have deemed a fortune
for his son, and which eclipsed D'Orsay's
best. Jenny Lind blushed at the distinguish
cd honor, and curtsied to the floor; the au-
dience applBuded to the very echo; Web
ster, determined not to be outdone in polite
less, lowed again; Miss Lind recurtsied, the
house reapplauded and this was repeated
eight or nine times.

A FEW WORDS TO A FATHER-Takey your
son for companion whenever you conven-
iently can; it will relieve the already over
burdened anxious mother of so much care
1t will crafty the boy; it will please the
mother: it certainly ought to be pleasure
to you. What mothers eye would not
brighten, when her child is fondly cared for
And when his eye kindles, his heart beats,
and his tongue prattles faster and faster with
the idea of going with father" does she
not share her little boys happiness, and is
not her love deepened by her husbands con-
sideration, so just and yet too often so extra
ordinary! 1t will keep him and you out of
places, society, and temptation into which
separately you might enter. 1t will give you
abundant and very favorable opportunities to
impart instruction, to infuse and cultivate
noble principles, and to develope and streng
then true manhood. 1t will enable him to
"see the world" and to enjoy certain lib
erty which may prevent that future Iicen
tiousness which often results from "a sudden
freedom from long restraint.

ed at the hand of the miserable. sneaking
scoundrels. the off-scouring of the North and
the spewed up scum of the South, who are

SHARA AND THE GRAND LAMA.

An English taught pundit. of semi-Thibe-
tan origin, was recently sent into Thibet, by
d British officer in Cashmere, and succeeded
in accomplishing his perilons journey in
safety. He describes Shara,s the Thibetan
capital, as q city of about two and a halt
miles in circumference, containing popula-
ton of 5000 women and 5000 men, besides
1000 Bhootea and 500 Chinese soldiers, and
numerous monks. In the centre of this city
is very large and wealthy temple, cantaih-.
ing idols of great price from their inald gold
and gems, and all around are the bazaars of
Lhasa, Cashmere, Ladakee, Autuabad, Ma
pauese and Chinese merchants. The hills
around the campagna, in which the city
stands, are dotted with wealthy monasteries,
one of which Oebang) contains 7,700 priests.
In the Potolo fort, mile off, lives the Great
Lama, called Gewaring loo-che. The pun
dit found him to be handsome boy of thir-
teen, sitting ona throne, six feet high, with
groups of priests in an attitude of adora-
ton around him, and two behind him with
bundles of peacnck's feathers. On throne
of half that height, to the right, sat the
Gyalpo Rejah the real ruler under the Chi
nrse Resident, called "Ambam." but nomi-
nally the Prime Minister. The Lama, plac-
ing his hands on the pundit's head, asked.
Is the king well z" Are you in good
health 2" Alter receiving the usual offer
ings of sweets, and money, he and his par
ty were then served with tea, which some
drank and Others poured on their heads.
The priests placed strip of silk, knotted
around their necks. They were invited to
inspect the temples, their rich images and
hangings, and were then dismissed. The
bodies of the preceding Lamas are careful
ly kept in coffins and popular hellcfis that
they diminish in size, while the hair and
nails grow. The Thibetans believe that the
Lama Guru speaks as soon as he is born,
and all wlthered trees about the place re-
vive. The child selected on the death of
the Great Lama is placed before articles of
all kinds, and if he selects those belonging
to the dead Lama. he is at once placed on
the throne. Under the Gyalpo are fonr min
listers. called "Kaskak," who conduct the
government. But Justice is bought and
sold, as in all Asiatic States, the judge be-
ing that one of the Dehang monks who pays
the highest sum. He is called Jalno, and is
installed by walking through the streets
with a silver stick. He makes ten times the
purchase money. exercising his rule in the
most arbitrary manner during the twenty
three days OF the new year, when tine priests
hold an assemhlage to do homage, called the
"Moun Cumbo" Every house is taxed,
and the working classes flee the city.

WRONG POLICY AND WRONG PRINCIPLE
The imprudent threats and advice of some
Conservative papers to prescribe and Ostra-
else every man who voted the Republican
ticket or co operated with the Republican
party, is engendering spirit OF retaliation,
and the Republican leaders are now saying
that they can and have the power to retaliate
on Conservatives, and will do 1t in self-de-
fence whenever they think proper. They
have control of the State and National Gov
ernments. and can inf1ict whatever punish
ments they please, and there is no remedy or
means of redress. Then, how foolish it is
for persons who profess to belong to the
" Conservative party" to be making threats
of what they intend to do. We are opposed
to the spirit of persecution or retaliation
(though we individually defy opposition of
any sort,) and we know that very large
number of the Conservative party are also
opposed to anything of that sort; but the
difficulty is, that the innocent are punished
with the guilty, and often worse, because
many of those who are keeping up and
arOusIng strife have nothing to lose in any
way, no matter what happens. All the talk
about prescribing men for opinions sake is
wrong in policy and principle. Prescription
is game at which both parties can play.
Gen. Candy has issued an order that in
South Carolina taxes shall be levied to sup
port those who have been thrown out of en-
ployment On account of political opinions.
In this way the innocent are made to pay for
the sins of the guilty. The farmer who
keeps set of hands at work and is trying to
make something to support his family and
benefit the country, must pay an increased tax
to maintain those laborers who have been
discharged by his imprudent or hasty neigh
Dor. 1t is time for all people to be careful
how they follow the advice and counsel of
rash and spiteful politicians.-C Charlotte

they will return worse off than when they
left as others have done and are doing
Sharp trading men may do pretty well some
times by changing location, bnt not many

Generally, those who are leaving profess and
claim to be better Southern men than those
