JOtlN S- WILLIS. , Sept 2, 1854, 809-4tpd For the Carolinian. Quarterly Report of folportage BY WM. J. W. CROWDKH. God in his mercy has permitted me to labor another three mouths in his earthlv vinevanl. Through excessive heat, in great debility nnd at times, severe suffering of body, I have passed ; most of that time, being supported and cheered ; dy tne presence and blessing of Him who ever sees and cares for us all. I have been enabled to visit,". talk 6n personal religion or pray with 52G families, of whom ST were destitute of all religious books but the Bible; 11 destitute f the Bible, and 32 habitually neglecting the house of God; aided in holding 17 religious meetings j sol! , 939, volumes, vworth $200 19; and gave away 34 'volumes, worth $49 59. About 400 of these families I visited a year ago, and it is highly gratifying to see the im provement that so many have made in obtain ing knowledge, and the manifest disposition to continue improving. Many who then only took a "Tract Primmer" at 10 cents, and frequently it given, on my second visit bought from one to four dollars worth. In one neighborhood three mothers and two fathers, besides several chil dren, have learned to spell and read from this precious little volume. And iu another neigh borhood there are 32 children over 1 years old who then knew not the alphabet, and most of whom never heard a sermon or prayer; all of these now know the alphabet many of them c an spell in one and two syllables, and some of the oldest, 12 and 15 years old, can now begin to read, and are able to answer most of the ques tions in the first catechism. I wasilso forcibly struck at their asking me so many questions about God and Heaven. As there is no chnrch suitably near for this people to attend, there will in a short time be a good house erected, in which to have a Sabbath school and regular preaching. Several experienced persons five miles off have consented to go and aid in this Sabbath school. How delighted these children are at this arrangement! Five mothers and two fathers of these children promised to go to this school to learn to spell and read, two oi whom learned most of the alphabet on my last visit. After being kindly received by an obscure, and destitute family, I had a pleasant talk with the father, mother, and little children, the oldest about 9, and then gave them the first Bible they ever owned, and also the "Primmer" from which I began to read and talk, and soon each one said, "I wish I could read." Learn ing from them that they once could spell, I drew near them and spent sometime spelling with them, and instructing them to read. Af ter reading a chapter from their new IJible and praying with them, that mother with tears in her eyes said, "Yours is the first religious visit ever made to our house, and that is the first j-T-r,j-t.i- v it" njnilK in tlie liosirlijff of uur dill' dren. I want you to come to see us often, for we'll be glad to sec you if we are wicked people." They had not been to church in two years. Since my visit I have seen the husband at preaching twice; and he, his wife and oldest child, are now being instructed to spell and read by an individual of piety and intelligence. I have aided in forming two promising Sabbath schools in very destitute sections. Two of the scholars are M. and A., aged l(and 14. The mother of these children I found drunk; also her child A., who was lying on the floor in one corner, pillowed with an oven-lid. I found M. had a good mind and line disposition, and seemed deeply grieved at their condition, not being able to spell or read, and seldom ever having been at church. I found others near by in near ly as destitute condition. Aid was afforded them in preparing them for Sabbath school, and on the second Sabbath they all walked together to the school in nice order and line spirits. How striking is the contrast in the case of A., who two weeks previous was lying drunk, pillowed with an oren-l'ul, but now is seen walking steadily, with combed hair, clean face and hands, neat new clothes, to the Sab bath school to learn about Jesus! A young minister of much promise recently said to me about as follows : "Sir, I entertain feelings of lasting gratitude for you, regarding you as an instrument iu God's hands of bringing me iuto the ministry, tor when there was a sore strug gle as to my taking up this cross, I went to where vour books were spread out, and heard you speak of the perishing hundreds and scarci ty of laborers, which rested with weight on my mind; and I bought 'D'Aubigue's History of the Ketormation, the reading of which deepen ed my impressions, so that before 1 had closed the lirst volume 1 was filled with the spirit that tired Luther's soul, and I at once hung my all upon the cross of Christ as His minister." At a rcceut meeting many have been hope fully converted. One was a fine young lady, who says that niv visit to her father's house, about seven months ago, afforded the means of her awakening. She, soon alter my visit, made known her feelings and purpose to five of her associates, all ol whom covenanted witti vod to seek salvation, and they have all now found pardon and peace. The "Female Tract Distributors" of Raleigh are truly devoted to their "work of faith and labor of love," in leaving a tract monthly with every family in the city, talking with, aiding, encouraging, and instructing" such as are in need of it. It is highly gr are, generally, very kindly received, and that their labors are highly appreciated by the citi zens and owned and blessed of God. A young man of standing recently said to me, "The Tract on Ardent Spirits, distributed br the 'Female Tract Society,' was placed in my hands, which I read, and it fully convinced me of my ruinous course, and I determined to abandon the use of liquor entirely as a beverage, which I have doue up to the present, and shall con tinue to do so." This tract has also been the means of reforming a dissipated young man in the country, to whom it was sent by a friend. A prominent man told me that he intended to be a standing colporteur, to keep on hand and distribute that tract written by Lr. Edwards and 1 let nim have a good supply. A family of nign standing, who made fashionable use of liqnors, told me that this tract had convinced them of the great error in using it, even in that way. The tract, "A visit to your Fatily," has been the means of a father commencing family prayer. And a young rai said, "I never had such views of Eternity, my approach to it, and my foolishly spent time, as since I read the tract, 'Serious Thought u Eternity distn- i bated by the Ladies." 1 The kind people of Raleigh are doing nobly1 so far as called on, in contributing to the sup port of colportage. One man said,'I am glad of the opportunity to renew my stouk in the Tract Society. I feel that it pays well, and I wish yon to call on me every year, for I want to enjov this privilege while I live." A little boy, John, 13 years old, the son of a poor widow, was the first to give a donation in July, He came running across the street, calling to nie, and on reaching tne said, "Yon hate given me a great many nice, good tracts, to read aud carry home, and here is a dollar for you to have some more made like them to give away; moth- e.r ovd myself prayed over it before I started with it this morning." Cod he praised for the sue-" cess given. ' - . Yours truf t', AVM. J. W. CROWDER, Colporteur of Anieric rn Tract Society for Wake and Cumberland counties, N. C. Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 1, 1854. From the Chicago Journal. Sira(isr Credulity .1 $3,039 Swindle. About two weeks ago, ns a gentlcn.an farmer, living in Madison county, was riding towards his home, not far distant, he observed a man aud woman by the road-side engaged in repair-' ing tin ware. A few days afterward?, a woman called at his house, atxl aftef same conversation, asked him if he did not recollect her. lie re plied that he did not. She then told him that she had seen him on the road a few days before, aud that his appearance had made such an im pression upon her mind, that she was compelled to call aud see him. She told him that she was an astrologer, and that she was well ac quainted with its mysteries. She saw at once that he was an extraordinary person, and knew that he hnd been born under a particular planet, and that great things might be expected of him. She took from her apron a book which seemed to contain a number of diagrams, figures, &c, and read from it, in an unknown tongue, a few "hocus pocus" sentences, after wlik'h, closing it and putting it back into its hiding place, she went, into the kitchen, bought a few pounds of butter of the wife of the gentleman, for which she paid liberally, and went on her way. A day or two afterwards, the wo'nafi called again, reiterating what she had said ou her first visit, the fanner paying but little attention to what she said, looking upon the whole affair as an attempt to humbug him. Not at all di." couraged, the woman called again the next day, and wound up her conversation by saying that she knew where three hat crowns full of gold had been buried on his farm, and that, if he would do as she directed, they could recover it; but that it was necessary to allay the spirits that stood guard over it; that a Jartrc sum of mono mxm-t be present with theu aS the incan tation. She thought five thousand dollars would be required, but was not sure as to the- amount; and she proposed if he would go into it and lurnish the money, that she would give him two-thirds of the treasure, while she Would reserve the other one-third as her share. Up to this time, the farmer appears to have had no confidence in the woman; but as sho' took his hand, and traced the mysterious lines' therein, tellinsr him the cf eat thinirs in str.io for him, he began to place some confidence in her, especially as she had told him some things that had occurred in his life, that he supposed had never been known. About this time, he sold a large lot of cattle, for which he received in cash about $4,000. The n-xt day the woman called again, and said $.'5,000 was'fhe amount required to' be present to allay the spirits. The farmer then produced the package of monev ye' ceived lor the cattle, and the two sat down to a table, and counted out $3,000 iu bank notes, excepting four small gold coins. The money was then folded up, and put in a handkerchief; the woman all the time making strange motions, and talking strange talk. The next day, arid the day after, the woman called again, each time counting the money as before, making the same signs, S:c., but leaving the money with the' farmer, wrapped up in the handkerchief. At the next visit, she required him to take a soln-ir oath, that he would not tell to a living sou? the object they were in pursuit of, that as she was going away to be absent a short time, he was not to look at the package of wuri, aS any time, excepting when she was present; and after making an earnest prayer, she took hold f him while she held the package of money iu her hand, and swung him around, so that they came together back to back. She then gave him the handkerchief as he supposed, all right, and told him that she would return on the th, lfith, or 11th of Awgrrst, and then they would go in company and sec ure the hidden treasure. On the 1 5th he hardly expected to meet her, and was not disappointed that she did not cofue. On the IGth he sat up late at night expecting her arrival. After waitiug till near midnight, on the 11th, he began to suspect all was not right, and he feared all this might be a trap to roli him. So stroug did this suspicion faHen npotr him that he took up his gun, loaded it, and went out into the shrubbery surrounding the house, where he could see all who approached, without being seen, and remain e?l thefe nnti! two o'clock in the morning. Rut no f.iie eamc As the time had elapsed that was set for his fair visitor, he considered himself absolved front his obligation, never doubting in the least, but' that his money was safely deposited iu the handkerchief. Unrolling it carefully, wlni was his dismay at seciug, not a rolf of bank bills, and four pieces of gold, as he had left it, but "a package of brown paper and four cents, in lieu thereof. Even the handkerchief had need changed; instead of its being his own, it was one precisely similar. One of the strangest things in all this strange transaction is, that a counterfeit five dollar bill that was plaeed in the package of money, was taken out of it, amf returned iu the roll of brown paper. How this was done rs a mystery we cannot sslve.. The farmer who has been so completely bamboozled out of $3,000, new seeks to- find some remedy at law. Strano-e as thi may appear to many, we have the facts from the most undoubted author ity and we have given them just as they oe curred We can? sympathize with our friend, the former, in- the loss of his money, for he is not the first of the masculine gender who Aas been, and alas, be is no the last wlie will b, duped by pretty woman.
