If we add to these the number employed in distilleries and wholesale liquor shops, we shall have about 750,000, while there are but 150,000 ministers and school teachers. The clergymen cest the United States $12,000,000 annually the criminals, $40,000,000 more than three times as much as the clergymen; the lawyers cost $80,000,000 nearly seven times as much as the clergymen; intoxicating liquors Is not this a fearful picture The pen of an angel, with the surface of the whole earth for a parchment, could not record the woes that grow out of the use of that vast amount of alcohol. We wish that these truths might be engraved upon the hearts and minds of every living human being. The liquorj traffiic sends 100,000 persons to prison, reduces 200,000 children to a state worse than orphanage, sends 60,000 persons to drunkard's graves, makes 600,000 drunkards every year, and spreads disease, misery, crime and death all over the land.

This is but a tithe of the truths that might be written of the fearful operations of this devouring monster. Yet how it sickens the soul of the Godfearing, fellow-loving man or woman to look abroad over our fair and beautiful land, and behold his ravages. We claim to be a free people take every occasion to boast? of the proud heritage of our fathers and yet, we are in a worse bondage than the Israelites of old, tinder the heel of a tyrant mere merciless than a Nero or a Caligula From the Daily News.

Cresent of July 10th thus speaks of the efforts of our fellow townsman the Rev. R. H. Whitaker of the Friend of Temperance in that place. Mr.

Whitaker is doing yeoman service in this State and South Caiolina, for the great cause of temperance, and we are glad to see that he is justly apprecia ted. "On last Thursday evening, 4th inst. a large audience gatnered in this place to hear the Temperance address of the Rev. Mr. Whitaker of Raleigh N.

C. We promised in giving our notice of this address that to hear it, would be a treat, and such it was Mr. Whitaker treated his subject as it has, in all probability, never been treat ed before. Demonstrating with un-e rring accuracy, the fact that alcoholic drink is utterly worthless for nutriment, as a permanent stimulant or, in short, for any purpose, he denounc ea witn eloquent words the inconsist ency of all saints and sinners who used it, or who were instrumental in making or selling it We cannot and will not pretend to give even a sum mary of this excellent speech. Suffice it to say, that it was eloquent, abound ing in -humorous anecdotes, and yet re plete with sound practical wisdom.

Enemies may rage, legislators may deem it inexpedient toi act directly in our favor, and many of those who profess to be lovers of God and their fellow-men, may think it best to remain neutral but we must battle on and battle bravely, discreetly, and faithfully.

If we do this, the blessings of God will attend us. Yea, we may hopej 'eventually, to educate I'pubJic opinion to frown down every man who engages in the detestible business of selling liquor.

St. Cerro Goedo, Intemperance like a vast sheet of fire is sweeping over our county, polluting all that it comes in contact with, i andjitteily destroying all, that fall victims to its destroying rage. It is forever ruining many of the brightest hopes of our country. Many promising, educated, and talented young men have started on life's journey with bright prospects ahead, animated with brilliant hopes for the future, and bidding fair ere long to write their names in indellible characters high on the "gilded page of earthly frame;" but alas they have fallen crushed, and powerless under the fatal blow of intemperance.

It has deluged our land with black tidal waves of deep despair. It is hsnging over our country like a pall of the thickest gloom, which the "Friend of Temper ance" seems to pierce like a blazin arrow of light sped from a dazzling quiver, diffusing bright, radiant beams on poor, benighted subjects of Intern perance; many perhaps finding words of comfort, and encouragement from some of the writers of the Social Cir cle and many too who have read the eloquent appeals of it noble editress may have resolved to break the gall ing chain of intemperance asunder and to be free again; for she has been nobly battling against intemperance. ana ner victory nave iar surpassed those of a blood-stained Ceasar, brave Alexander, or any others, tha have unflinchingly faced the cannon mouth, and dagger point, to defend their country, and their conntry' rights; lor they battled only agamst man, but Minnie E.

If I am right in my opinion of Tem perance, I understand it to be moder OVrtTt i. 1 1 1 1 iu. mo muuigence oi the appetite. Total abstinence from that which intoxicates, I understand to mean wholly refraing from the indulgence of the appetite for spirituous liquors. We are commanded not to indulge in ii i anyming whereby our brother stum- bleth.

And when a moderate drinker one who has command ol his appetite strong oi wiu to onnJc so much and desist, takes his regular glass of spir ituous liquor, he is placing before his weaker brother one of the greatest stumbling blocks under heaven. And it will eventually prove to be a stumbling block in bis own way. He will have to account to God for the use oi that strong will, in that reckoning to come. He, endowed with wisdom and understanding, did not tak firm stand for the right did not interest himself in the infirmity of his weaker brother did not reach forth a strong arm and draw him from the pit into which he was falling. He thought he was silencing conscience.

If I am not, I will quietly withdraw from the field, and look on with eager and earnest solicitude upon the glori ous battle, waged by the fearless warriors, male and female, comprising this army, under the leadership of General Minnie," with Wandering Willie" for "ordinance officer." Now please give me a nice, cosy quiet corner, and I will sit down and not say another word until the excite ment is over, and the question deci ded. Yours in T. and Mary.

Welborn, Florida. roil THE FBIEXD. Retail Liquor License. These words may be seen written over the doors of many establishments in our city, informing the public that the proprietors of these houses are legally authorized to deal out the water of death by the small," to all whom they may induce to patronize them. Yes, these vice and misery generating institutions are to be found on nearly every street of this, and, I -presume, the other cities of our State presided over by the lovers of lucre many of whom, no doubt, possess principles as base as their love for the wages of their soul-destroying traffic is great.

Licensed by law, they stand behind their counters to welcome all comers, and to wait upon any and all, who may be foolish enough to call for drinks. They sell for the money, and all who have it can be folly supplied with the fiery, liquid at their bars. They. have fine brandies for the rich debauchee, who is scattering his inherited wealth with a prodigal hand whiskey, common and adulterated, for the poor old toper, who has spent all he ever owned or earned at their counters and sparkling wine, beau tiful and temptirig, for the young man who is just beginning to sip the social glass. I am sorry to know, that they are liberally patronized, throughout the State, by the above mentioned characters, and that many of them are literally growing rich and living high" on their ill-gotten gains.

Yes, it is a lamentable but palpable fact, that many of them are enabled, by the money that they realize from the sale of intoxicating liquors, to build for themselves elegant mansions and live in princely style while the sober and industrious portion of our people are being burdened with taxes, levied to support the paupers they make, and pay the costs of criminal suits, occasioned by their nefarious traffic. Truly, these gentlemen of the bar are highly favored, being allowed to fill their coffers at the expense of their more righteous neighbors. Now, I am opposed to extending to them such a favor and, I presume, I am not the only one opposed to it. Many, perhaps, with myself, would rejoice at the enactment of any law that would seriously affect the liquor traffic within the borders of our beloved State. But can we hope for any such law at present? Will our next legislators strike boldly and squarely at the liquor traffic I am afraid not.

In fact, I am folly persuaded that the united voices of the temperance men from the mountains to the sea-board, would not influence the men, whose duty it will be, during the next two years, to make laws for the govern ment of the btate, to enact one pro hibiting directly and entirely, the sale of intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, within its limits. it such men as a few that could be mentioned, who advocated our cause so nobly in the last Legislature, are sent to the next, we may hope foi law allowing us to decide by our votes wneuier spirituous liquors shall be sold our respective townships or not I say, we mav hone 1 1 w- ouvu iaw, sucn men are sent to the next General Assembly. aui suppose we don't get ifr?

No! we do, we will deserve the contempt 'of every patriot ana christian philanthropist We must never desert the cause. I hope that no person who has entered the temperance ranks, and pledged himself to support the cause, will under any circumstances, retire from the field, or go over to the enemy.

BOOK NOTICES. Lights and Shadows of New York i I Life or, the Sights and Sensations of the Great City. A work de- scriptive of New I York City in all its various phases.

Wretchedness Its Splendors and Its High and Low Life Its Marble Palaces and Dark Dens Its Attractions and Dangers Its Rings and Frauds Its Leading Men and Politicians Its Adventu rers Its Mysteries and Crimes. By Jambs D. McCabe, Jr. The National Publishing Philadeloliia, haveijust issued one of the most remarkable and attractive books of the day, bearing the above title. It is comprised in one large oc tavo volume of 850j pages, and illustra ted with nearly 200 fine engravings of noted places, life and scenes in New i To Mr.

McCabe is due the credit of having produced the most complete and graphic account of the great city, and its busy and varied life that it has been our fortune ti meet with. His book is briin full of solid and useful information, and abounds in descrip tions of the various public buildings of New its palaces, prisons, hotels, churches, stores, hospitals, etc. The work sets forth in glowing col ors the noble work for suffering humanity, which is going on every day in the great city, and reveals with a bold hand) the terrible crimen: the dark mysteries, and the hidden sins of metropolitan life. We are intro duced into the home of the Fifth Av enue millionaire, land' carried with equal interest to the squalid cellar of the Five Points beggar. We are brought face to face with the good and the bad, the high and the low, with leading merchantsj bankers, editors, and bummers, thieves, de tectives, and mmrdrers, with 'working women, ballet gitls, adventuresses, and a host of others, and we seem to be listening to their stories from their own lips, so thoroughly does the au thor enchain our interest.

Our warm-est enthusiasm and; our deepest contempt are alternately aroused by the thrilling recitals of their deeds of vir tue and vice. The history and frauds of the famous Tammany Ring are re lated with great force and candor, and this portion alone worth the price of the book! In short the book is New York in miniature, i. The author has penetra- tea, unaer tne protection of the no- i i it iice, into ine aarjeest and most dan gerous haunts of crime in the city and has thus been enabled to obtain accurate information on the tonira whereof he treats, Visitors to New York, cannot hope to see or know as much of the city as jthey may learn by a perusal of this book. To all who contemplate visitingi the great Metropolis, we cordially recommend it, both for its information and for its powerful warnings against the dangers of the city, Those who cannot sea New York for themselves will be in a trreat measure repaid for that privation by reading this work. It is published in both and, 1 A German sold bv subscription only, and tho w44 RgwiB in every county.

ORIOLE. The Friend of Temperance and Peterson's Magazine will be sent to any person for one year at $3.40. That's cheap, To Mary." Are you not slightly mistaken in using the term "hearty approval?" we remember rightly, we called attention to a capital article" from the pen of Willie," with no other comment than to urge the Circle to redoubled diligence in the performance of the great work they had undertaken. A casual glance at "Willie's" article impressed our mind favorably because it seemed to be an appeal to the Circle to arouse themselves to greater Zealand activity. The "writer' gave his views as to the objects of the Circle, upon which we made no comment and to which we neither objected nor gave assent, for the reason that we intend the circle to be outspoken and untrammeled.

We leave it with our writers to select their own themes, and to express their sentiments freely and fully and we do so feeling satisfied that the great principles of Faith, Temperance, Charity, which underlie our Order, will also control our pens and make our circle a harmonious and very profitable one. "Mary" was admitted into the circle upon the expressed condition that she was not to engage in the hue and cry against the liquor sellers," but was to write for the with a view to its social character enliven the household with her cheerful songs and Lively bou mots, and weave the garlands from flowers gathered in her own flower-land, with which to crown those other gallant knights of the quill, who dare measure arms with Bacchus, and hurl anathemas at those who traffic in the blood and souls of men. She has chosen a good part a most important duty and no one knows better than she how to perform it. The Editress will see to it, that Mary shall not be required to go out side her chosen sphere. Her gentle, peaceful offerings like sweet-scented nowers will always be welcome to the circle.

FOR THE SOCIAL CIRCLE. Dear Mrs. Editress I cannot fully endorse the letter of Wandering Willie," with reference to what should constitute the "Social Circle," notwithstanding the hearty approval of Minnie E. Ray has been given it. I was not a reader of the paper when the Circle was first instituted, and it was but natural that I should fall into the idea that a "Social Circle" meant what its name implied, and that the contributors to its columns should be like the fireside home talks, where brothers and sisters meet around the hearthstone.

I exceedingly regret my intrusion into' the Circle" under this erroneous impression and if you will excuse me, I will suggest that its name be changed to the "Fighting Circle." Then it will be understood that marks of merit will only be given to those who can pour into the ranks of grog-sellers and grog-drinkers the most frequent and heaviest charges of "hot shot," mixing a little of fire and brimstone with the nhsirtrea Then we can come armed and equip ped for the onslaught, and know precisely what we are about. I never could see much sociality in war. I would much sooner seek for it in the parlor and around the fireside than in the field of carnage and blood "Jabee Thea" seems to have had the same idea with which I came in and I fully concur 'with her suggestions with reference to its social character. Some of us can't fight with such ug- 1 looking weapons as are required bv the "army regulations," laid down by auuenng vvuue, and 1 am sure it is sometimes easier to influence a man to do that which is right, by invitin" him into your cosiest sitting room. uuwimuiusiciuia SOCial con versai ion, make him feel that he is a mcud being, than to run out after him and catch him by the throat, and thunder anathemas into his ears.

I have always found that honey was much better than vinegar to "catch flies." Even the ferocious spider is represented as acting on this principle, when he says to the fly, W01 you walk into my parlor Since the question has been agitated, I would like to see an expression of opinion by all those who, as original members of the Circle, know what was intended in its organization. What I hare written is not dictated 1 wiabto brain to be one of earth's noblemen. No dull, murky clouds should obscure that mighty intellect, upon which God has stampped His image, nor dull the luminous eyes, the windows of the soul. The body, the temple or earthly home of this living, breathing spirit of light we call the soul, should never be desecrated by that poisonous liquid the tendency of which is to rob it of health and strength, and bring it to premature death. Mind, body and soul should be governed by that pure, higher power, which emanates from God that law which brings happiness here, and happiness and rest hereafter.

The superiority of that no bility, is recognized in the true ser vant of God. Upon that brow you read in unmistakable characters, dare to do the right In that frank, open countenance, there beams a light from the heart. From out of the fear less eye, that window of the mind and soul, a more refulgent ray gleams, and it declares that reason sits enthroned, and that God, the great Architect of all, rules, guides and directs the whole Some valiant souls of the true nobility have enlisted in the good cause of temperance, and are wielding a powerful influence. Each in his. or her own particular style.

It requires all of these different styles to compose the whole oi this iormidable army. Direction should have pre-eminence in every style. Valor and discretion should march side by side. Often it I is necessary for discretion to stay the hand of valor. Sometimes she whispers to us to erase a word or two which, if-used, would not benefit our cause, but render some who are good and true, unhappy, and which, perhaps, would serve as clogs to our own usefulness.

There are some in our ranks who seem to have a little of the spirit of the courageous, valiant and zealous Apostles. There is one of theveter-rans whom I single out. I shall call him our beloved St (if his name is Paul.) His style, like that of St. John, is entreating. With fatherly tenderness, he points to the right shows how to avoid the wrong, and by the love which flows from his soul for his brother man, he wins them from error.

I seem to hear him say, in the language of St John My little children theso things I write unto you that ye sin not, and if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." "He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that ha teth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that dark ncss hath blinded his eyes." Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good." Every breeze which wafts his niessages to the ear, is richly fraught with that benign benediction, I would that peace be with thee." There are some in the wide orld whose names are not enrolled on the fair escutcheon of temperance, whose mission it is to point tp the errors of humanity, and show a way of escape, but they are remiss in their duty May God forbid, that when they have crossed their lines of time and eternity, that the horrors of immortal night and keen remorse should take hold of their spirits Ah I imagine the suf ferings of such a spirit when entering the abode of the lost, and casting its vision over the vast throng of sufferers, to be beyond description, when addressed by a spirit known while on earth, in these words Though we have sinned, and each to our Maker standeth or falleth, canst, thou behold us in peace with a sense of innocence. Thou didst not strive to lead us up to God. When we indulged in the grat ification of that which led in the ways of death, no reproof was administered by thee; our religious teacher. The Bible, that sacred book, gift of God to guide the wanderer to bright mansions in heaven was made by thy false interpretations, thou pleasure-loving, heartless teacher, the passport to this scene of woe." Ah, me ah, me I ye are under 'a fearful responsi bility, wljo quote to the well and strong in body and mind, poor, suf- enng Timothy's infirmities, and their remedy, as an excuse and a plea for the use of that beverage, which, if in dulged in, is degrading to manhood, and which wrecks both body and soul or time and eternity.

Willow, thou emblem of sorrow, thy insignificant leaves have fallen into the hands of those to whom the breeze listeth. Perchance they are regarded as intrusive, but bike the breeze, which ose them, there is no clue to the bourne from whence they came. The breeze.has given place to a soothing evening zephyr. Now Willow, gently sway your waving branches over the tombstones of those who rest beside thee. Let the dew-drops which formed under' the shining stars, in the blue vault above thee, and collected on thy leaves, fall uponf the marble Weep Willow, let thy tears, aa fmm.
