Accordingly, instigated by this thought, your hit, and the intrinsic merits of the festival which he so much enjoyed, he has determined to put himself and his pen. '/under arrest" long enough to give you some account of quite an original and successful ' May Celebration at \yinnsboro', on .Friday night last, by the pupils of Mrs. Laud's school. * Like the energetic and efficient projector and manager, he too had become quite tired of the usual routine of such things (enough of whioh, however, was retained to satisfy, we hope, all those irrevocably^ given up to old fogyism) and was, therefore, all the better prepared to enjoy all the new features? one of the best of which was, that all the speeches and songs were written by Mrs. Ladd expressly for the occasion. He is the more content to ignore for the present the literary merits of these, because, from what the Register of Saturday says, we shall probably have the pleasure of seeing them in print, and because her powers in that, as well as in other directions, are already well known to your readers. Moreover, he, the "Rep." aforesaid, could not hear them all distinctly, (partly because he was too busy with his eyes to do much with his ears) and was too beauty-bedazzled to criticise soundly. But to the programme. First then was the sougr '.'The Carolina S&te" (not Judge Gaston'sr-but one written by Mrs. L. and sung to th? air of "The Empire State.") Then speebces from the Heralds, Canopy-Bearer, Crowner, Scepter-Bearer, and Queen. These the fair orators (one of whom was even more than fair, was a perfect beauty,) will, he trusts, and the old fogies may, if they chose, forgive "Rep." for saying nothing about, for the reasons above hinted at. Tint- if he didn't hear the Queen'B inaueu "* ""w ? - w I Tal, he saw, and, later in the evening, conversed with her, and could but congratulate her subjects on their choice. Besides having beauty, her face has starapedon its every feature that rarer and far more valuable quality?cakrucler. The shallowest, mosfcunconscius physiognomist could not look upon it without feeling, even if ho couldn't think and say so, that its possessor has the ability to plan, the courage to undertake, and the energy and will successfully to carry out any measure which the good of her subjects might require. Next we were treated to a taste of Classic Mythology; and in gazing upon Juno, Venus, Diana, Ceres, Hebe, Iris, the Muses, Graces and Cupids, one scarcely knew which to admire most?the taste, tact, and skill displayed in the appropriateness of the selection of the particular Carolina divinities who personated the several Greek and Roman deities, or the hearty, grace and tasteful "getting-up" of the lovely personators. Then the little boys were allowed to mingle in the regal and divine throDg around the throne?representing "Robin Hood and bis merrie men?and really merry they look cd, as, singing apd beating time, thej marohed round and ronnd. . ^ xr Next some of the loveliest and dearest of the flowers of -Spring were fairly and-well personified.. After which the merits of the Other Seasons were rehearsed ."by.--fit and charming representativesand - "Sep." supposed the finishing touch was given to a 'floooessful exhibition by Flora. But no? for now in an "air-borne" oar came on the queen of the Fairies; Svith' her'short-kilted, I rosy, lovely train of attendant'spirits, to welcome with choral songs and "dancibg her May majesty. * * ' -- *' And", to croum dll> there cam?, sfterV few minutes' breathing spell, a grand National tableau vivant, in which our national ' pride, as well as some other feelings, were particularly gratified to observe that Victoria, held a prominent place?attended, as she usually is, by Liberty (?) Peace and J ustice. A national song was then sung by the school in chorus; accompanied, as all the songs of the evening had been, by ' "Delicious synpbonies, that like airy flowers, Budded, and swelled, aBd full-blown,. abed fall fchoirers ( " * ~ " Of light, soft, unseen leaves of sounds divine." Of course, after the exhibition we had that -usual exhilirating sequence, a frolic and dance; with the no less usual accompaniments of promenades, talks, <tb. &c. But of jthese I'll not further tax. your perhaps tfready~6xhausted patience than to say thatalP seemed to extra cf from them as much enjoyment as is to be found in-such "innocent amusements." After begging pardon of every body has bored with his long and inadequate description, (excepting always yburself* Mr< SJd. for you brought it on yourself) "Rep." most heartily congratulates every one inte-. rested in this, the most successful celebration of the kind he has ever witnessed, and especially himself ?kQafore<menti>jmd.^..

Intemperance is admitted to be a great evil?one that,has produced more untimely deaths than all the wars, famines and pestilence, which have ever afflicted us since we have been 41 nation.. The fires, we are told, which.consumed the citiea-of the plain- .in the days of Lot, were Jess destructive.than the fumes, flames, aud burning lava, which, in ten thousand places, have been vomited from distilleries and diffused by a million x>f dram-shops; that the- awful sulphuric storm oLfire, the terror -aBd vengeance of angry,, menacing clouds that came over Sodom soon passed away, and left an unclouded sky ; 1?*. at?AA?Mo IWIIA Ivsvm fKn [JUL L1SC Utile BtioaiUJ tuai looug uvui vuv volcanoes of human invention, are still flowing turbnloDtly along, and have for ages past been sweeping from the "blissful shores of time," thousands, 0, yea, millions of thehuman family into the vortex of rain irrevocable, unutterable, and interminable. - ^ If the above picture be not overdrawn, are not yon, the Sons of Temperance, arid friends of humanity; urgently dalled upon, in view of impending wrath, desolation and decay,-to make a more strenuous effort to remove, counteract and banish entirely,"if possible, this evil of such "frightful and gigantic magnitude" from oar country and the world, than you have ever done ? We do not aspire to the wisdom of a Plato .or Socrates, in saying that drnnkonness is an evil and should be remedied; but that it can and must be remedied without furthet circumlocution, and that, by the determined, united, and persevering aotion, of all ?^who are enlisted in the glorious cause of Temperance. Allow lie* Mr. Enquirer, the privilege of suggesting to the several Divisions throughout the District, the propriety of communicating through the columns of your paper, their standing and the progress they are making in the cause of Temper-1 ance, &c. We are progressing, it may be;J steadily ; but certainly slowly, under the present system. Let the matter be considered in the Di?isionsi and may Heaven's richest blessing accompany and attend tha deliberations of each".' Yours, PILGRIM. Forxune-Tklling. ? Despicable as the practice which goes by the name of fortunetelling is, we believe there is a kind of fortune-telling which is not only possible but easily praoticed upon correct prinofplea.?~ Thus, to begin with the~youBg*whentfrea?R a child obedient to his*or her parents or teachers, or any one else toward whom'the . subordinate relation has become necessary, we have do hesitation in predicting that good fortune will acoompany such a child into early manhood or womanhood, and insure a fair start in adult life. If the case be that of an honest, energetic, young man, who has successively advanced from the position of" apprentice and journeyman into that of a master-mechanic or boss, we can tell his fortune without much difficulty. So witb regard to those who have chosen a profession j as the means of livelihood. Let u's see hew they conduct their business. If they do this intelligently, industriously and honestly at the start, they will be very apt to oontinue to do so, and sucoess will be sure in the long run. Unprincipled men, in the same line, may get ahead of them in the beginning, but they will fare best in the end, and so illus. trate the truth of the maxim that mines'ty is : the oest policy. We will confess that we ! are no fortune-teller, if it does not so turn 7 * iI oat. ;<?? Scientific Forecast.?From an article J in the Philadelphia Press, on the late 'Dr. Lardner, we extract the following prediction and proffer: ' 'When the Liverpool and Machester Railroad (the first experiment on a large'scaTe) was proposed, various objections were made against it, and some witnesses stated, before a Committee of the House of Commons, that it was utterly absurd to imagine that passengers could be drawn by locomotive engines . afcsucb an excesrive rate of speed as twelve, miles an honr.

Mr. E<litor:?It is said of David, "the man after God's own heart," that. he had served his own generation by thvvtill of Grod, he fell on sleep. The wisest of men ' affirms that "Agood name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death, than the day of one's birth."Two months have elapsed since the death of a good man was heralded in the public prints. One who spent the flower of His youth and the vigor of njanhood in your immediate vicinity, and almostthe who e of his useful and laborious life, within*the,bounds of our District. But little haa been said of his labors and toils?his brethren inoffioe reserving themselves until another occasion, and none who constituted a portion, of bis. immediate charge, feeling called upon,^ .to commit to paper, Jhe.thoughts called up by the melancholy occurrence. - ^ Every noted oocurrenoo of Diyine Providence should bo improved for good, and the signs of, the -times carefully note 5. The Prophet condemns not only the ifjnorance, and sottishness of the watchmen, but. also, the slothfulness and stupidity of the people. "The righteous perisheth, and nomunlayeth. it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the rigliteous is taken away from the evilto come." It often happens that those who are seemingly in the j i-1-. .r ?_i - J ?u:i?4 ueignr-ui uooiuiuccjo arc reiuuveu, vr-utio** those who are- less so are spared?the fruit*" fol are oat down,; and the barren left to oum*/ ber the ground. -"*: - ft c- When an ocouirenoe of this ki 3d takes'; place, the Prophet lntfra8teS that it-should' 'be "laid to heart." ^The inquiry should be made,' what can be done to make op the breads, and fill up the places of those who are taken away/ Who is there to standin the gap and prevent the destroying angel froth entering in?

David was seniceabfe to others, as well as to himself.? Bo was urelul both as a ruler and a ptopbofc; to the church and tothe world. He was a blessing ( to the age, or to the "generation ih which%n dived. "He fed them according the integrity of his heart and guided them by tfcfc Sinfulness (prudence) of his hands. " * r - A devoted Christian Minister, "^IholOhke not at his own things," is a public good,"lad his removal is a public loss, aad especially, when "no man layeth it to heart." When he follows devotedly the example of the great Master, who went about doing good?doing 'good both to the" bodies and souls of' men? to" friends srtfd nefgfihort-^to the iforld at large, and the church in particukir," be is fo be regarded'as a publio benefactor, and his removal is to be regarded as their loss, though it may be his gain. "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain, For I am in a strait betwixt two, laving a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you." f . The devoted -Christian strives to do good to his <?own generation," to do good while he liyes, and thus scattering the good seed mqy do good to, posterity. He. will endeavor to be serviceable to the generation and age in whioh he lives, by improving bis talents and trusts, with faithful diligence, to every purpose of the divine glory and all the interests of God in this world. Some.count greatly, and bless themselves in prospect of the good, which their posthumous benefactions will accomplish. Instead -of being their own almoners, they leave this 'office to be carried out by a cold and heartless -"*orld. Very rarely, indeed, is any good accomplished by such benefactions, unless the donor has been distinguished for liberality during his life. To give, only because it cannot be carried hence, is usually attended with a blighting curse. It is true those who are charitably disposed may not be able to give as much as they would desire during life?they must keep in reserve ample for their own subsistence?and they may not be able to command the estate until finally settled up?I speak of those who cling with pertinacity to their estate, so loDg as they live, and then, when forced to separate, ex - ??m * *1 .1 .1 .? ? pect ta..appease the Almighty, by ndeodand, They will contribute nothing to the benevolent institutions of the 4&y?perhaps-starve oat. their-Ministers, and hope to atoaefor all at-last, by leaving.-some liberal benefaction; yBOth.he thank that? servant?I trow not" iBavid in "serving his generation," did not do all that was "i&his heart to do"?but he wan arrested bythsDivine Master, whd bade him make all'the preparation necessary, and lea ve-it -tor Sotomera.t^Complete' the work. irhis service is measured, not by the will of the orerature, but by the wHl of the Creator. f "David served biaibWn generation by the wilPof God." He fleYved the purposes of the Divine will, in the generation in which he lived?and of cobrse also, it was of th"e Divine will that he fell asleep.? Whatever the station he occupied through divine agency, there he studied to "serve his generation." Some may be ready to suppose that it belongs to Christian Ministers affine^ or at most to professing Christians to serve thiefr generation. Fatal mistake 1 It belongs to every man indned with rational -powers, to serve the Most High in those sW: finno in rrkl/iK PvAni/^An/iA Vina nlaAArl ktm V1VUO iu TTU1VU 1 iUTlUCIJtC HOO |/lHVOU UALU* Whether "High or low?rich or poor, he has 'a>of6 to perform; he is to'serve Tub" gjeneirittibn for it is the "wiHnf 6od." Deadness of lakewarmness in religion is of all things to be dreaded; and this it is to be feared is too prevalent among those whg> occupy high stations, as well'as among, those who are more private. 'x' " ? * "To serve the generation by the will of God," requires.*'fervor ofspirit," and this extends to the affections and desires. Says David, As the heart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, 0 ! God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God ; when shall I come and appear before God. 7 "Rivers of waters rundown mine eyes, .because they keep cot thy law." "With my soul have I desired thee in tbe night, -yea, with my spirit within me, will -i seek thee early." *? * The "fervor of spirit'' should be seen in the graces. Thus in faith)which overcomes the world and realizes the glories vof eternity?hope, to comfort in trouble and difficulty. "Blessed be tbe God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to this abundant mercy, had begotten us again To A lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To an Inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away." So the grace of Jove's and^thg more fervent jthis'is^ the moos reaqg and siiitett are vye to serve and suffer forlM Lord Jesus Christ. 'Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." In a word, this, '/fervor of spirit" should pervade all duties, as well as graces and, affections. Hannah "poured out the heart ta. God," Elijah '/prayed earnestly"?and Jar cob, in wrestling with the angel of the covenant, ezolaims "I will not let thee* go except thee bless me." -The Breans "received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether, those things, were 'so":?"therefore maay of them' believed.''" To hear fervently, is to hear profitably, afid praying people are apt to. have a profitable Ministry?So aleo-in our duties to our fellow men, vohafge theim that- are rich in the world, that they be oot high-mihded, nor trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enj<Jy; That they <io good, that be rictln good works, ready to distribute, willing it> communicate."

True worshippers, "worshipthe Bather )u spirit and.in trtjth,for the Father seeketh such to worship him." It is the worship of him whom Angels adore, serve and lov.e, the upholder of all things, whose glory is above the heavens. "Great is the Lord and greatly to -be praised; he also is to be feared above .all Gode." To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we by him 5 and one Lord JeBus Christ, by whom are all things.and we by him." Here is the constraining love of Christ, matchless and unbounded, which should put life and being into all our -services. This service fs connected with promises the most precious. "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so I would not have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, 1 will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." "When the chief shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a orown of glory that fadeth not away." The expectation of such blessedness, should quicken to greater diligence, carie and sincerity. Wherefore seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blemish," The . spirit of just men are before the throne of God'?they serve him day and night. The redeemed singing(the Redeemer's praise : "Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, and wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing. Blessing, and honor and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever " The blessed consequence of faithfully serving the generation, is falling asleep in Jesus.

At last he made up a praiseworthy resolution. His thoughts became words, and he mutterr o - ? ed something like the following:?"Thun. der and lightning, just as if I was going to mind her! I'm her husband, and she's my wife?then she ought to obey me. But instead of that, she orders me around just as if I was that dog. Come here, Zeb, lie down, you're my old friend," he continued, as the intelligent animal slowly raised himself, and licked his hand. "Now, isn't it too bad that she should try to make a brute of me ? Well we'll see; the next time she says anything to me, I'll be darned if?" "You will, will you !" hejieard in an angry tone, close to his ears. Gracious heavens ! there she was, her eyes glowing with anger, like two coals of fire. She had entered the room unperceived by him, and had heard the whole of his muttered soliloquy. "Take that for your pains!" she said, and he received a blow on one ear, which nearly knocked him over: "and that!" as he felt a similar application on the other side of his head, which set him up again.

According to Garrison, Southern slavery mu8tbe abolished or the Union must be dissolved. Acoording to Spratt, there can be no safety to the South in the Union except in heavy reinforcements of cheap niggers fresh from Africa. But let us hope for the best. Perhaps we may be able to slip through between Garrison and Spratt .without incurring the calamities of a civil war. We have done it several times already, and perhaps we may succeed once more.
