for 1 ought not to have entrusted myself to a head of twenty years we soughl our way across those woods as long as wc had day-light : but tin more we sought the more completely did we find ourselves lost ; and just as night was about to shut us iu we arrived ai a very black looking hut this we entered but not without considerable suspicion but what in the world were wcio dt there we found a family of carbouiers regaling themselves at ilie table where they immediately invited us my voting friend did not await a se cond invitation thus in a short time we found ourselves eating and drinking but he especially ; because for my part 1 was in terested in examining the place and the ap pearance of our hosts our hosts hail very much the mien of coalmen but you would have taken the house for an arsenal there were only guns pistols sabres knives and cutlasses everything displeased me and [ very plainly saw that i was not any too agreeable to thenj my comrade on the rary acted »> one of thi family he lie i and talked and with an impru dence wliich i oughl to have foreseen but why did 1 not : imply because it was fated and our doom was fixed he al once told them whence we had come whither we were going ami who we were - frenchmen imagine a little - at the house of our most 4eadly enemies alone lost and far from all human aid and then to omit nothing which mii-lit tend to our destruction he played the rich man promising to those people as a recompense for theii trouble and also to onr guides for the next day whatever they wished finally be spoke of his valise requesting tbat they would take special care of it and put it under the pil low of liis couch ah youth youth what period of life is bo much to be pitied ? cousin they thought we were carrying tlie diamonds of the crown but what really gave him so lunch anxiety about tbat valise waa that it contained the letters of bis sweet-heart when sapper was ended our liosts left us thev slept down stairs we in the upper chamber where we had eaten there was a loft elevation seven or eight feet above this and there was the couch we were to occupy which was a kind of nest into which we introduced ourselves by crawling under joists loaded with provisions for a whole year my companion scrambled up alone and lay down all asleep with his head up on that precious valise 1 having determin ed to keep awake made ine a good fire and sat down by it the night had almost pass ed with sufficient tranquility and i was be ginning to reassure myself when at an hour at which it seemed to me day could not be far oil 1 heard below me our host and his wile talking and discussing with each other and placing my ear near a chimney which communicated with that below 1 distin guished perfectly these very words of the husband all right let us go must we kill them both '." to which the wife replied " yes and i heard nothing more what shall i say ? i remained breathing with diilieulty my body as cold as marble to have seen me you would not have known whether i was dead or alive my stars when i think of it now ! we two almost without arms against them twelve or fifteen who had so many of them ! and my com panion dead of sleep and fatigue ! i dared not call him or make any noise and 1 could not escape alone there was a window not very high but below were two tremendous cloys which howled like wolves in what pain 1 found myself imagine if you can at the end of a quarter nf an hour which was indeed long i heard some one upon the stair-ease and through the cracks of the door i saw the father itith a light in one hand and an awful knife in the other lie ascended his wife followed and i sought to conceal myself behind the door lie open ed hut before entering he gave his wife the lamp which she came to hold he then entered bare-foot and she irom behind said in a low voice covering at the same time the light wiih her fingers softly go soft ly when he reached the ladder he as cended it with his knife in his teeth aiid having conic to the head of the bed where the yonng man lay extended offering liis un covered threat in one hand he grasped his knife and in the other — oh ; cousin he seiz ed a ham which hung on the ceiling cut a slice and retired as he came the door closed the lamp went away and i remained alone in my reflections at day-break they awoke us as we direct ed and invited us to breakfast wliich was a nice repast and very good i assure you two fowls made the biil of fare of which our hostess said we should cat one and carry lhe other with us in seeing these i under stood the meaning of those terrible words ■• must we kill them both paul i oi'is courier at written for the carolina watchman messrs editors : you will probably agree with me that the only hope of saving the community from the great evils and the widening curse of intemperance lies in sav ing the young if the children's hearts and habits are not established in christian sobriety the next generation will be worse than the present then may i not appeal to christian men and women here who know of the deep dved sin that is daily hourly being com mitted to assist in again building up the temperance society in and around salisbury fin secretary of the state council has i written tlmt he has organized a council here twice yet he is ready to try again and will at any lime assist those who are interested in the work can you refer ns to a larger or more open field for the work than here where liquor seems to be th god of so large a number even on the sabbath day '. shall wc ay let ephrairn alone he is joined to his idols fold our hands and sit on the stool of do-nothing because a few despond ! or others wil frown on us and tell us it is i ust less to try again '. what were ephraim's t feelings when god suid " let him alone '." has not iod said of the one we leave un warned to sink into hell " his blood shall i require at thy hand :" we will soon pass away and the rising generation must take our places — to make laws anij govern the people to build up | churches and schools - is it not important i that we the older members of society set them an example and instruct them how to live as they would die and die as thev would meet their god \ why is it that men of influence are either opposed to the temperance movement or what is worse indifferent to it many young men can be found that will join it 1 but if ministers of the gospel members of the church and their fathers are not interest ed they become tired discouraged and j withdraw . or break their pledge will god ; not hold those men responsible ? sonic ■ saitl ■• we set them an example by be ing members ofthe church if thev were ; al christians there would be no need of a t temperance society is that not rather a ■ lame excuse for a body of christians to set forth '. to such i would say come out sign the pledge and nail your resolution to , the mast that your children may see it and profit by it others it is too expensive do not those same men contribute their por tion to tiieir masonic lodge or to their l odd fellow lodge or the political cam paign ; or foot their bills promptly at some j low grogery i — for i cannot believe there ' ever existed a genteel one — other excuse t • themselves from the duty thus ; - my bus i ness will not allow me to become a member : it is a good thing but i'm too busy to such busy ones it may be said when death conies your excuse wili fail ; you will have to yield business and life together nor will the plea stand the final test for any neglec ted duty | some say to us : " why the most earnest workers have died drunkards — it's a lium | bug and this because a few have fallen and disgraced their profession ! those who cheat themselves by so poor an argument ; are like those - convinced against their will and remain of the same opinion still and i we can therefore only leave them to the in ' struction of experience — a dear school tru i ly but very efficient if not too late intemperance is growing fearfully rapid among us and requires the steady course of i respected honored and influential men to prevent its spread the mothers the wives the sisters can do much to aid the cause of temperance by their kindness and gentle ness in persuading the unfortunate ones to change iheir course the young man who is away from his home — home what thrilling memories cluster around that sweet word ! — may seem to have his thoughts so much taken up with the world that we might suppose he seldom turns towards the scenes of his childhood but as night throws its soft mantle about him memory in its flight bears him back to other days he stops and listens for a moment how pleasant the sound which falls npon his ear it is his mother's voice j true the loved one has been for years sleep i ing in the village church yard and bloom * . ing flowers may throw their fragrance over her mortal dust yet the remembrance of that voice can never die the flowers may | wither the bright marble wliich points the passer-by to the dear spot may crumble to dust : the stars which keep their nightly vigils may cease to shine but the voice of that dear mother will vibrate on bis ear i while memory lasts think not then mo thers that your labors sufferings an.l trials are vain and now reader have you not seen mis ery among men women and children from j intemperance ? have you not seen good ; men trv to stop it '. have vou not heard i ministers of the gospel preach against it : ' nave you not heard judges sentence men to pay heavy fines for selling liquors have ' vou not the graves of fathers and sons ; making silent appeals from hopeless mounds ' of reen '. yet for all that to-day the same deadly work goes on men to sell men and women to drink while others — women — are left to weep and die broken hearted a child once said to us why what is the use of our joining the society when we don't care a bit for liquor we are satis fied that the only sure way to save the world from the dreadful evil is to begin with the children when they don't eare a bit lor liquor of anv kind anticipate the taste e-et in advance of the habit and then tell me where is the trouble if you will give your approving smile and hei ping hand and those who have labored before in the cause will do likewise we can do something to build up what some call the lost cause and as the president of the state council said at a meeting of the oak city council — the flag of temperance shall never trail in the dust if the right hand fail grasp the staff with the left if both fail clench the staff with the teeth and still bear aloft that banner on which is ;

and so when he took the slump at raleigh he proceeded to probe and stir up all those past unpleasant matters which conservative men of all pai ties would fain cover out of sight and forget he appealed to tbe negro as against the white man he reawakened all the dis agreeable recollections of slavery and of the war whicli were fast dying out he proclaimed that the bloody chasm was not closed and must not be closed tin direct tendency of his speech was to array the negroes and carpet-baggers against the rest of the population no judicious republican of the grant wing could have read it without dismay for it foreboded a rupture of that peace and quietness at the south which fair-minded republicans as well as democrats desire should remain unbroken mr boutwell had made the great mistake of supposing that all the regular republicans are radicals like himself whereas there are many men of that party who hold conservative views toward the south and are pained at every attempt made by unscrupulous partisans to create disturbance there — n y jour com coming events cast their shad ow's before the result of the contest in north carolina stands not for a single state but for a series of states it foreshadows with reasonable certainly the result next november in all the former slaveholding states except perhaps south carolina and mississippi therefore it is that all sensible candid politicians of both parties will accept the verdict of north carolina as a practical detenu nation of the presi dential election the issue was fairly made up ihe case was thoroughly tried each side put in all the evidence at i:s command each eummrd up with rare ability and the people have recorded their deliberate judgment grant goes to the wall the greeley rises to the ascen dant v y sun glory enough our latest dispatches from north caro lina give conclusivs proof that the state has been carried by the conservatives who have rolled up a handsome majority of from five to eight thousand this de feat is a disastrous one to the administra tion aud thn grant papers take it very much to heart * this is glory enough for the liberals and good old horace surprising rescue wet blank et for grant a voyageinpro spect lp salt river this surprising rescue of north caro lina from the clutches of the administrati in virtually deci les the presidential c ml st it will fall like an enormous dripping v.ct blanket on the whole body of gran't sup porters extinguishing their con fidenee aud sending a ddd shiver to the extremities of the party before the month ends the re publican deserters will be numbered by imndreda of thousands no intelligent j politician can now doubt that mr greeley , will be elected by a greater majority than ;
