WHO OWHED THE HOMEY? I
W hile going up Il-oadway, veate day we t
observed n slatternly-looking Irish woman j
d .rt down the street, to the aide door of the
Irving House, in pursuit of a young man, .
w ho was just by the door examining some- '
thing in his hand. As she ?eized him rather I
violently, we were impelled to take a little
nearer view of the proceedings, and no or- i
dingly moved thitherwurd. By the time <
we had re.iehrd the spot, ncrowd jf pel son* '
h..d rushed out from the lio'el? 'doubtless
uttr .uted by her violent cries of' He's got
my ui? noy : he's got my money."
i lie young m?n thus eh rged was apparently
18 or 19 years of age, and perfectly
dumb, but whether with astonishment at
the charge, or consciousness of guilt, wo
could not then determine. As the woman
continued to charge him with having her
money iu his hand, ho hesitated for n moment
and then said.
"Got your money! I Iiavn't got your
money, nnd I won't give it to you either."
The youug man was dressed in h
r, ? .. . a...I ..1.1 1. 1-1- '
. T !IVII? MIHIIIIVI, MIIU, nuiiv/u^n 1*13
brown face and clear eye bore the im- '
press of honesty, still there was a dash
of the ib-ar devil in his eontenancc, that
suggested an indistinct belief that lie miyht {
do wrong. for mischief's sake.
"You've got me money. Give me 1
money," again exclaimed the woman, in
A trembling state of excitement, and with
r tone of voice between a snuffle and a '
cream. J
"What money havovouin your hand}"
inquired a stout looking country gentleman !
"I saw you looking at some."
"I have got. throe five dollar hills on the
Central liaiik," lie frankly replied. "They
wore imt given to me by our boss tiiJRton,
to gel. tiie'U changed, as he is paying off
the num." And with that, he handed
them to his interogator.
"W hat money have you lost?" inquired '
the gentleman o the wujiup, wllo btr>od
by, in ikitig most lain?*utab!e cries for her
"money." * "
"Sure, Su she. replied, *1 ' a t nee five (
dollar hills, and a gentleman came along !
to buy a shillings \s worth of me paches \
and lie gave me a fifty ciut piece, and ]
wliin I ink from ine |K>ckol-book the j
change* I'd throwed out the bills, whin j t
this youug man cainc by, and he picked j,
them up, and run away wid em, as ye j
?ee verse.f sur."
r> C
Public feeling was evidently against j
the young man, hut he proceeded to a
explain: w
"You see. ^ir, I was ordered to get
change for those hills, and I went into a
short store umund the corner, on Broad- p
way, and asked for chvitge; they told me W1
they could n't change, hut I could get it w|
at the Irving, House; as I was coining jn
out of the store 1 dropped one of the hills 1|t
down hy the woman's basket, as she was ai
sailing peaches on the steps; picking it tip, ,rj|
I ran around here to get the change, (0
when that woman came a hallooing out to
that I had her money."
Still the woman persisted in claiming ;
the money and hy Iter earnest an 1 lx?- I ()f
seeching m inner cast considerable doubt HC
on the young man's statement in the cv
iti nds of the bystanders. Some suggested
that lie he taken to the Toinbe; others
thought hi ought to bo arrested. Ho
told itiein if they would go with hint to It
W*. rren'st..where the foreman was paying H
off the m.-n. lie would prove by twenty ??
WKii.-ssek that what he had stated was k
correct. As it was raining violently, and
but few had umbrellas witTj them, and no t?
policem ?n c< uld be seen, ho wa? t<>Ul t<> tl
go anil get the foreman, "add if ho did not li
return in fifteen minutes the ...oney would h
be given to the woman. He eargerly 11
embraced the otter ami ran off to get th? e
requisite p-oof. As ho loft, the chari o
table crowd vury generally acquitted him ti
of all intention, of MMirning. '"He'll nnv- li
cr come back again." said one. "He got li
off .o cheaply," said another; "lie ought ^
to have been arrested." A thiol advised v
the amiahle stout tnan in black to "give v
the woman her money." t
The gentleman thus addressed, replied: I
MIf he does not return in thetiinc specified t
I will give it to her," and added: "I doubt
much if he will ever come round again."
A tall and exceedingly dyspectic looking
individual was |>osilive. '"He looked like *
a thought rouge," alien all were surprised "

Looking keenly at the woman, he held it
o her, and said:
"Put your hand on that book, and
tnswer me just such questions as I ask
you."
"Snro Sur I cau't swear to it.
"Who asked you to swear!" inquired
he. "Put your hand on the Bible."
She made several attempts to do so,
but drew it trembling Ixick. lie again
ordered her to put her hand on it. At
length she did so, with much trembling.
He said, in a very solemn tone of
voice.
"You solemnly swear to speak tlie
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help
your God!'
Sho drew her hand back with a shudder
stnl with ashy lips said, "I can't ttcear to

"I thought I knew you," said be. "Do

Thus did the officer question her, she
still said it was her money; hut nothing
rould indtico her to "swear to it."
The officer handed the money to the
young man; and ordered the woman to
leave the building at once. Thisshe reluctantly
did, with a cowed look, but still
asserting tho money was hers.

officer, "for telling a lie, as she would not *

"A personal rencounter took place on 1

I'atton and A. H. Prior, which resulted
n the death of the f. riner. It appears
hey were both sitting at their Iwiarding

unversation with another person and In

ppears, made some remark to Patton

he ordered Prior to leave, to which
io latter made some tart reply, when
utton struck and knocked Prior back- *
;?rds over a chair and pitched upon him;
liile in this situation, several cuts were
dieted by the hitter upon the breast and h
lek of ihe former from which he died in n
out twenty minute#. Prior immediately
ivfc up his knife and surrendered himself
i an officer, and ha# been lodged in jail
await his trial.
A man by the name of Meroney has I

Prior, and supposed to be in some w ay f

rEMPER AHCE AH D TEMPERANCE
SOCIETIES.
The Grand Jury in their report in Charleston
the other day, made the following
presentment. ' They further recommend a
restriction of the present License System
Tor the retailing of N/jiriluou* liqut.r, us u
large portion of the present indictments orignate
from the free use of that article'*
There is no doubt but four tilths of <-11
the indictments ssued in this State, h.tro
originated from the same cause. The qucslion
we wish to conaid r at this time, is,
a hat remedy can be applied. What plan
of reform ean be adopted, to stay this current,
to induce m?m to live more uprightly,
uorc soberly, l'erhaps It may not be improper
in this connection, to give our roa
lers soine little insight into the history and
working* of Totupc ranee Societies. In our I
>oy-hood's day*, there were no Div isions or
rente, nlmoat every man indulged in the
im of spiiiluous liquors, more or lest. A*
nuch ks it is cuatomnry to shako the hand
ifter recognition, it was then, so soon us
his utsrk of courtesy urns over, to invito I
he visitor to take something to driok. It '
ess In that day the habit and custom of the '
muntry, nnd yet we nrs s> ro there vvua no
nors drunkenness tlino at this time.
Id the progress of civilization, refinement
ind general reforms, the first effort made to
item the tomtit of intemperance, vvns the
wtablishmant of a Temperance Hocicty.?
The first Temperance Hocioty restricted one
o the use of wine only, the indulgence of
oy other spirituous liquors was strictly
orbiddcu. This first effort made to enforce
rnipernnee, did but littlo good. The sdvo- j
atos of the system wore but a shade oetter :
tisp those out of the pale. It was found
list too free a use of wine, eouid produce
itozieation as well as any other spuituoua
iqacrs; therefore this Hoeiety was superce- I
led by the Total abetinenco Hoeiety, which
orbadu the tree of any kind of liquors what*
vrf. W e would be condemned, did wv not
lee lore that thie boviety did much good,
hat - number of old topers were not brought
Nick t ? the paths of sobriety and thus Saved
m it were by lbs Total abstinence rvufL-tv
>od yet, It i* questionable witli an if llue
Kwiety did much, or any general good.?
there is scarcely one, who read* Uim, but
u recollect of ?se man who ?at saved by
be Total abstinence tioeiety, but have I hero
iot keen m*oy who hove backslidrd and boum
worse then they were before their
annexion with the Hociety f In comparing
he indulgences of men at this period of the
retpemeee reform, with those of the time
Uerior to all Tomperaaoe tJocietivs, is it
ot perceptible to many, that there was
qoally as much drunkenness! We have
kwnght eo, sad have aesosatedfor it in thie
lanser. A fas t many who bseama total
hatlneare men, were fssatioe is the nisei
t h<|tnnsh ssd to inch as sxteot wee

Adherents ; the result was, temperate drink,
i ers became intemperate drinkers, p .rtly from
the conduct evinced by the toti.l abstinence
men, nnd again, in their efforts to r..i*e an
opposing party. That the temperance movement
nt any time, has tended to promote
brotherly love, amicable reb.tfons between
man and man. we cannot and do believe.
Even at the time referred to. when Tot.-1
abstinence Societies occupied the whole
ground, that which is now occupied by more
modern nnd recent associations, there was |
a selfishness observable tn the reformers, I
which proved most detrimental to tho cause
they were endeavoring to propogato. Nor
| is this ull. Those persons who being not
Total abstinence men. desiring the support
of ths Temperance Society, were incited to
sign the pledge from mercenary motives,
j and if unsuccessful in attaining that which
( induced them so to do, were invari blv groatI
cr drinkers afterwards. We are consuming
I too much spice, so we ?ill oroeoed to noj
lice the noxt cfibrt of the Total abstinence
j party. That party, finding the bare signing
I a pledge inntifficcnt to stein the whiskey
toront, established a new Society. A soei- j
| ety at once novel, binding, and secret. This
was the order of the on* of Temperance.
This order met with general f.vor, so much
so that in a brief period after the organiz.i- j
Yicn of the first Divison there were we believe
aoiue eighty Di* iwions in this State.? |
The fault of selfishness n.inpl iiied of in I
the Total nlwtinrnee Society was more
plainly ex hibited in the members of this Par- J
ty, nnd this has always, in a measure prejn*
diced lis against Temperance Societies.? |
i Tim nrdi-r nf flin i.f '
I done much, very much ? ooj in some isolnted
c.isrs. Many n drunkard has been j
brought back to his wife i.n>l children and ;
at this time is administering to the r sup- ,
port, whereas ne m ty have tilled n d.unkard's
grave, and his f.inily brought to penury
and want. but urc there not many who j
were Sons once, now helpless, hopeless j
drunkards ? and yet, these men have only |
become so since their disconnection or ex- I
pulsion from the Society ! We are an ad- ;
vocatc of Temperance, and a member ??f ? j
secret order, hut we speak impartially our !
own opinions. Ir. the order of tho Sons of 1
Temperance, a solemn oblig tion is taken to j
abstain from all intoxicating liquors: after {
a forfeiture of the pledge so many times, he |
is expelled. Should he viol.to the pledge j
even the first time, other Divisions are in- |
formed of it, thus a murk is put upo* the
poor b.ckslider. Now f m n forfeits his j
word to me. I am disposed to put hut lit'le !
confulsnce in him afterwards. ..mi wo will
warrant, it becomes easier to him every sue
ecssite lie he utters, A tnr.n becomes a
drunkard by degrees, and so doe* a liar ?
When the S. of T. h:.s violated his pledge
too evils result therefrom . first, he is most
sure to become intoxir tod. and in the next
place he begins to lose confidence in him
self. \\ lien a mail once los? a confidence in j
himself, lie is entirely worthless to himself |
and every one else. There is sc .rccly nn
instance where a man who h..s bein disposed
to tipple, however lightly, hut will
after hsving disconnected himself with these
j Societies become bnutly drunk.
Th-;t thc-Div'n of the 8. of Temperance does
not hold tome men from drinsing, we do not
deny, and were tlu-y not connected with
some such snchty they would itnlulge 'no
! freely, we do not deny cither, hut let all
these tern pore nee societies be ..bolishcd. who
ca tell the result ? And yet, is not temperance
on the decline? Ilow many Divisior.a
are there in the State now? I* there one
half of the original nuinU-r? But we will

Rechabitus are rrttrMcd by certain law* |
and forms. from entering into the reform in ,

Societies. A member must not in?t*t upon
one uniting himself with the Society, against
lii? own free and unrestricted will. T e
Society comprises men. who li .viiig crossed (
the threshold, t.re bound by ..ii the ties oi
honor and truth to abstain from intoxicating
spirits. It would be unworthy of a member
to insist upon one uniting himself to the 1
