The 2ist instant was mild Spring like
day. Mocking birds sang sweetly and
butterflies which cannot be surpassed in
this Latitude in brilIiancy OF coloring were
seen winging themselves from place to
place. Zephyrs from the South soothed the
heated check af the pedestrian rs he pur-
su'sd the by-paths-near cuts---io church.
Grasshoppers, frogs, lizards and fat cater
pillars turned out in full force. Some
beetles, too, we're seen, not like those how
ever, on the coast of Guinea, which are
large, end are roasted and eaten by the
natives. We sometimes indulge the opin
ion tina: the savages who eat them are
ignorant OF their value. Do they not make
bouHO 6ouch OF what an entomologist
would most eagerly desire TO preserve?
The following notice, which il conspic-
uously posted near by is reproduced here
as it may serve to call the attention of the
school going readers Of the BEACON to its
orthography at least, and cause them to be
particularly careful of the spelling of words:

Rev. j. Irving Dice preached at Friend
ship NJ. Z. Church last Sunday. A con-
siderable number of persons were present
TO hear him discourse upon the ever i'm
portant subject of religion.
We are pleased to see that an open trade
on Sundays in spirits is not countenanced
at Miller's wharf Whisky may be sold as
ii medicine with physicians certificate as
a voucher. So far no one has taken advan-
tagc of this way for undergoing a cure the
reverse of that which is recommended by
hydropathic doctors.
The canning factory at the Pine closed a
few days sgo, and the female employes-all
colored-treated the men TO a--"Cobbing."
Ned, of the w. and B. Club, begged off
and treated to "gungers" and blackberry,
while Johnnie F. "took to his heels" and
swiftly disappeared until night when he
timidedly showed up" and treated the
whole crowd to the best in the house-store.
4 few Of our citizens have donned their
temperance armor, and have stepped into
the arena. They tell US that they have
emerged from that condition known as
willingness TO be damned" and that they
are determined TO fight king Alcohol to
the death. We shall now expect to regale
ourselves with draughfts of their wisdom,
which we trust may not be given in the
pharisaical tone of Incompatible hypocrisy.
A frigid-like sympathy and weakly God
speeds will not suffice. Drunkenness is a
disease of the rhoIe man, and it requires
consummate wisdom to deal with it. A
victim Of Alcohol should not be regarded
as a child-"Pleased with a rattle, tickled
with Il straw" The cure ofdrunkenness like
other sin begins IL the heart. There is a
cure-let intoxicants severely alone. We
adopted this way of curing the disease
twenty years ago, and it acts like a charm.
Try il and be convinced. The same cure
is applicable TO the use Of tobacco and other
bad habits. The silly Jew Appella may
receive the wonderous tale, which / can
meier believe" quotes a neighbor just little
way down the road. Well, we'll say, try
the remedy for an indefinite time and our
word for il, strong drink and the use of the
weed will have no inducements for you.
Mark the case of the Ephesians. They
abandoned their habits of excess, l. e, let
the causes which produced the effects
severely alone. "Go thou and do like
WISE" you could do it, to be sure. Noe-
not to mOrr0w.
The Sun-where Ii he! Look! he Is
going to his kingly rest as though dyed in
blood. casting its red reflection upon every
earthly object touched by is rays, and we,
too, must-well, travel TO our working
place on Smiths creek Like Sancho
Panza, We age still the same
AzzANA.
