.The Tear of Gratitude-
Th ere isa in 'nlflre pearly lrf gh'i,
More derfr'to mercy's eye, '
Than jvea sweHitfar-hwe mellow light
i?'irt cheera tine- evening sky ,
A Kquid pearl that glU.lera where
No Borrows nqw intrude ;
A richer gem than rnonarchs wear,
The U;ar of gratitude.
But ne'er shall narrow love of self
Invite the tribute forth, -
For cai the sordid slave of pelf 4
Aipreciate its 'worth ;
But ye, wh oothe the widow's woe,
And give the orphan food, . -
For you this liquid parl shall flow,
The tear of gratitude.
Ye who hut slake an infant's thirst
Id heaveuly nercy's name,
' Or proffer penury a crust,
The sweet reward may claim ;
Then while you rove life's sunny banks,
With sweetest flowrets strewed,
Still may you1 claim the widow's thanks,
The orphan's graitude.
For the Friend.
To tlio PeorVlo of TsTorth
uaroimu.
Occupying, how unworthily soev
cr, the position of President of the
State Couneil.of Fnonds of 3Ytnpcr
anne in North Carolina, it U a duty
which I owe to those who "placed
' me therc,to my self an 3 lo the sacred
ciuhc in which we are all heart anil
houI en"a'ed, that -l shwild, from
timn tfV limn, ofvc forth words of
warning md cheer to the brethren
in all parts of the State.. t!. ; ;?...
It in well that thq fiintuig heaits
-of thosewho, npou the .very, out
posts of temperance, a-o battling
with a seemingly unconquerable foe,
should be relreshed by,,thef g&vft
news of Victory ky at JjWs fr(u
many a rjuarter of tho wV.l fouyht
.'titiMthat the Councils whoso mem
bers have fallen into .t dangerous
apnthv, scarcely hiss fatal indeed
than active opposition, should be
ipurred into new energy by the reci
tal of the gallaiit blows that their co
lalwrora are dally Htriking for' Faith,
Temperance and Charity,"
Never, perhaps, in tlio history of
our State has there bean such wide
Bpread interest, sttch .&ud such
encouraging hopefulness in tho came
of Temperance as there. 4s- .to-day.
Watchman what -of the iijght
One hundred and one t Comniils
full operation, w4th a co.ml)ined mem
bership of nearly six thousand, are
- xoalously at work. 'These are not
connueel to any section or sections,
"but may bo found as well by the
roanno! breakers of the coast, as
amid tho pure air of our fur clad
mountain, and diy. by day and w,pek
'by week the number is increasing.
There is another cause for-congrat
ulation which your attention is es
pecially directed, 'rom every qnar
ter of the State the news reaches us
that men of prominence, in their te
spective communities, are uniting
themselres with our Order, and in
many instances are becoming active
i'.vorkci s in the cause.
I re8s' I cannot fef ram froira in akmg
an earnest appeal to the members of
the medical profession fin the State.
No class of the community bave
greater claims .upon 'Our affection
and our gratitude than "those whose
lives are devoted to tbeffurt to re
lieve their fellow creatures from dis
ease and pAiaJ It as imped that it t
will not be considefed prescinptuous
wto urge upoiV thera the great import
ance of an iiiuiring into the life and
habits of their patients tore pre
scribing for them that dangerous
remedy of ardent spirits. It is a
medicine indeed btrt a medicine
upon whose tdfar one hundred and
fifty victims are daily tcricel in
tho United States. Even 'in cases
wliere alcoholic stimulant is recom
mended, if there be any substitute,
do not administer whi-skey, to a rc-
c. hiimiid drunkard". Instances un
speakably sad, have come under my
owti observation. In one instance,
a reclaimed tnfbriatc bravely held
out until a trifling illness a physician
brescrioed a wmall .dose pi orany.
