From the Hamp?hir? faxett6. letter from a drunkard's wife. ? Mr. Editor.?The following letter dis. closes the feelings of ?n affectionate wife, in making her last effort to reclaim an in. temperate husband. Despairing of his re. form, she had once left him ; and after a separation of five years (during which time be had abandoned his cups,) she consented, though contrary to the wishes of her friends, again to live with him. For two years he adhered Jo his solemn Engagements, and abstained from the use of intoxicating drinks. At the expiration of this period he again yielded to temptation, and returned to his former habits. At this umo the hearustricken wife penoed the following let. for and left it upon his table. The effect of it waa'to prodnce a thorough and lasting reformation. The insertion of it in your paper, may give it still further influence. It is as follows: ,, , 1835. Dear Husband,?With a heart oppressed by dissanpomted hope, I am compelled to address you. In reviewing the past year, * -* * j and calling to mind liocrs disunguisnea goodness to us, in giving us health, and all the blessings of life* and especially domestic peace and endearing friendship, I find that I have placed my food bean with too much confidence on you. * Permit me to revert for a moment, to the time when we renewed our covenant vows. ?After a separation of five years, we were permitted to meet again in this world. God had seen fit, in his unbounded goodness, to carry us through scenes oftrial and danger, and again to permit us to behold our tittle family once more seated at our own happy fireside. You will remember the struggle I had about the time i consented to leave my father's house for your sake. Every friend 1 had, 1 /betook for you, aod threw myself entirely on your mercy and protection. You had me in your power to treat me as you pleased?to make me happy or miser, able. For two years, my dear friend, you have shown to me and the surrrouoding world that it was your privilege to make your family as happy as you Had it in your power to do. You denied yourself every unreasonable gratification, and passed through every temptation, and had gained, as 1 loudly hoped, a complete victory over yourself. To your children you have been a kind, tender, and affectionate father, and to your utmost, have endeavored (o promote the comfort and happiness of your family. Surely, my dear husband, you have given the world reason to call us * tlie happy family.' By your kind treatment to me. you have bound up the heart, the sorrowing heart you bad previously well nigh broken. Whenever business called you from home, (as it did almost daily J I was waiting calmly for your return, happy to meet you with a cheer Jul heart and srailiiog countenance. I too fondly believed that you would prove faithful to roe to the end of Hfe. I believed your family we* dearer to you, for dearer to you than all the vain pleasures you could find oo earth. I had too fondly hoped that our home was the ceoire of your enjoyments as well as mme. Our evenings were spent in cheerfulness?our nights in quietness. The hours of midnight did not witness as formerly the trembling heart, the departed rest of your companion, waiting in fearful sus. ponse for the return of him who is so dear to us all. And now, my dear companion, permit tee seriously to inquire, whether those days are gone never to return T Do you intend to make me wretched, when it is in your power to make me happy ? Oh! if you have no regard for me, shall 1 plead in vain . for those innocent babes of whom you are the father f Must it be sadly felt and aw. folly realized, mat these children are to be. hold their dear father, their earthly protector fonaking them, end joining the company of drunkarda 1 O, my heart sickens at the thought of beholding you ooe of their aura1 wl.? .... __;_u Mnantlo shone vcr J 1 lie Hill HHIWII aw ivwvh.v wiih such brightness on our path, tod cheer* ed our hearts, and inspired our bosoms with . hope, is veiled in sadness, and the clouds seem ready to burst upon us* O, my God, if 1 have ever known thee in sincerity, in mercy remember me now, in this hour of conflict and deep sorrow. Give me, O my God, wisdom from on high, to discharge my duty aright to my dear fam.. But is this rern enemy unconquerable ? Has he entered our peaceful, happy dwelling, and robbed us of all we held dear on earth?and must he reign here never to depart 1 If it must be so, then, O my God, leconcile me to my unhappy fate, and prepare to me to exchange worlds. 1 feel like a criminal condemned to die, . and for the last time pleading for life. It is in your pever to preserve that life or to destroy it- Yes, it is on you, my dear fcosband, that my future ^destiny for this world depends. And what is your decision ? Who is to gain the victory? Must your - ?? reigning thirst be obeyed at me expense 01 wretchedness and misery to yourself and family f If you say it must, then farewell to all hope and happiness on earth. But as long as God sees fit to spare my life, I will prove myself faithful and true to you. All that I can do to minister to your comfort, these hands shall cheerfully perform. Noth. ing shall be done on my part, to binder your enjoyment, in the path you desire to pursue. My sorrowing heart. I will strive to vail with apparent cheerfnlness, and my duties to my family endeavor sacredly to discharge. And when I am called to sur. leader life, and to appear before my Maker, God grant that my dear family may all find a mansion in baven?a happy home, where sin will never more disturb our quiet. This is the desire of her whose happiness you tmce promised in the presence of God sa~ Ifredty K> regard. May you peruse these tines with kindness, and weigh well their import. Your affectionate, but heart stricken wife. UNITY OF THE REFORMATIO*. We have often been impressed with the testimony which this unity in doctrine among the Pretestant Reformers gave to the certainty of evangelical truth. Nearly simultaneously in the I6ih century, God raised up in different kingdoms of Europe, faithful men who set' themselves in opposition of the Romish Church, and separated themselves from her communion. They brought out their several systems of faith with but little knowledge of each other, and less connexion, in the different countries in which they lived, from the same holy foun~ tain of truth, the one inspired volume. An yet without personal connexion, there was found an entire concurrence in all the great doctrines of their several systems, and they differed from each other in no point of essential consequence. The great object with all the Reformers was to ascertain and to inculcate the mind of the Spirit as contained in the revelations of Holy Scripture. They all went immediately to the one Bible, and they 9everally laboured to gain from that what God required them to teach as his truth. Without mutual concert, their investigations resulted in the same system of faith in every land. In England, in Saxony, in Switzerland, in France, io Scotland, and in Holland, the same general system of doctrine was incorporated in their church confessions, and brought out to view, from ih? ?>rn>H Kf.rintnrRs. The entire fall and corruption of man, his free justification by I the grace of God, through the imputation of the death and obedience of Je?u? Christ, his new creation after the divine image by the Holy Spirit,?these and the kindred doctrines which are known in our day, as evangelical doctrines, were the faith of all the Reformers, as declared in their various standards. We consider this entire unity la doctrine, thus obtained by independent examination of the Scriptures, as an unqualified testimony not only to the fact, that these doctrines are the system of divine revelation, but also to the entire sufficiency of the Scripluses as a source of instruction upon this subject. It was an unity which manifested the presence of the divine Spirit as the guide of all these venerable men who were raised to lead the people of God out of the house of their bondage. And it amounts to an infallible testimony that the doctrines in which they were thus united, were the truth as it is in Jesus. Much as the apparent divisions among Protestaats have been thrown out as objections against their systems of fai;h, there will be found no important fouridatian for the charge. They were united in their views of truth, and they sufterred and died under pcrsecutions in all the lands in which they dwelt, for the very same charges of heresy. Even i hose who oppose them with the charge of conflating judgments, themselves contradict the accusation, in the fact that they put them to death every whore for the same al. leged offence. The persecutor acknowledged an unity in his vengeance, which the polemic denies in his argument. The unity of the reformation was in the oneness of Scripture truth. Episcopal Recorder. , CONTENTMENT.

When, th reforefyou behold one of these choristers of heaven singing upon a naked bush amidst the darkness and desolation of winter, might you net address it in some. such ma oner as the following t * Sweet I bird, how cheerfully dost thou sit and sing; and yet knowest not where thou art, or where thou shalt make thy next meal, and at night must a .roud thyself in this same bush lor a lodging while the winds shall howl through it, and thy feathers shall be wet wi h the rain or overed with the snow !

' THE LOTTERY TICKET. Mr. Taylor, the celebrated sailor preacher of Boston, once related the follwing anecdote. A poor woman, who had once seen better days, was finally compelled, by the intemperance of her husbind, to resort to the wash-tub to earn a scanty subsistence for herself and children. At length, how* ever, heart broken and destitute, she determined to purchase a lottery ticket, with the hope that, if she could be successful, her husband might once more enter into busi. ness and become a steady man. To her uospeakable joy, the ticket came up a prize of $10,000 ! Frantic she ran to her bus* hnnrf. and throwing her arms about his neck, said, "Oh my husband, now we shall be happy; now we shall live as we once lived?I have drawn a prize >n the lottery!" "Don't be too sure of that, woman, and the wretch, looking into her face with the utmost composure, "Don't be too sure of that; for I found the ticket in your drawer, and gave it to Mr for a glass of rum !" The transition from sudden joy to sudden grief was so great that, no sooner had he concluded than the unhappy woman drop* ped at his feet, a lifeless corpse ! Alas ! these stories, touching as they are, are nevertheless g ern realities. INCONSOLABLE GRIEF. "The harvest is past, the summer is en~ ded and I am not saved." "Thou shalt mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, ana say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; and have not obeyed the voice of my teachers nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me. I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly." sayings for the afflicted. My afflictions are fewer then my 'sins, and lighter than my deserts. My afflictions are as much the fruit of Gods* love as any of the bouaties of his providence. i It gives no pleasure to God to see me j suffer. "He doth notfaffiict willingly." If J1 am in heaviness them is a need for it. Better people than I have had as sore trials, yet uttered no complaint. Some things iu the work of sanculication cannot ordinarily be attained without sor. row. If I know nothing of the pains of earth, I shall hardly be well prepared for the joys ofheaven. There are few darker signs in the histo? ry of any professor of religion than freedom from affliction. No one now in heaven regrets having gone there through greAt tribulation. To murmur or complain even in heart only is Sin ; and the least tin ia a greater evil than any conceivable amount of suffer* ing. * Christ suffered much. I ought to be wil* ling to follow him.

The Editor of the Cheraw Gazette has determined, at the suggestion of the Pee Dee Agricultural Society, to devote more space than formerly to Agriculture, and matters pertaining specially to its interests. About nine columns, or a page and a half weekly, will be occupied < with this subject, ezcep when it shall be necessary to make room for Executive Messages, and a few other political papers such as every intelligent citizen ought to read. A large proportion of what shall appear under the Agricultural head must, of course, be selected. But the numerous Agricultural periodicals now published in this country aiibrd abundant and excellent materials for selection; and, after a short time, the reports, and other papers of the Pee Dee Agricultural Society will of themselves, form no inconsiderable body of original matter, all of it adapted particularly to this part of the country. And it is hoped, also, that among the numerous intelligent and enterprising planters of the surrounding districts and counties some may be found who will, occasionally, take the trouble of contributing to the columns of the paper the result of their experience. Among the subjects which will engage the Editor's attention the culture of ailk shall not be overlooked. Ample instructions will be given, in tbeir proper season, for cultivating the moras mukicaulis and making ailk. I The paper will espouse the cause of no party I in politics, but shall contain an mary of political intelligence, and, occasionally, able speeches and well written essays (when met with) fairly discussing the principles and measures of all parties, ft is believed that a comparatively small space devoted to political subjects in this way may be made more profitable to the Farmer of domestic habits, who wishes to be acquainted with the true state of the country and qualified for a proper and intelhgent discbarge of the duties of citizenship, than a whole sheet filled, from week to week, and year to year, with one-sided discussions, and the mere quarrels of editors and politicians,-? whilst, at the s*me tim?. it _1 uted to linage neighbor from neignuor, or to mislead into a belief that one half of the country are Jese patriotic than the other, or lees ardently attached to our republican institutions. So much of the fourth page as shall not be occupied with standing advertisements will generally be filled up with matter of moral and religious cast, and articles conducive, in other respects, to proper family instruction and family discipline. If the increase to the subscription list upon issuing this Prospectus shall be sufficient to warrant the expense, new type will be procured, forthwith, for the body of the paper; that is for the part now printed in large letter; and at the commencement of the next volume the title of the paper will be changed to Farmer't Gazette and Cheraic Advertiser. TERMS. The paper is published weekly at $3, paid within three month* ; 3 50 within three months after the cloee of tlie year; $4 within 1 twelve months after the cloee of the year, and $5 after that time. - A company of eight new subseribers.at the same poet office, whose names are forwarded together, and accompanied bv the cash, shall be entitled to the paper for $20; and a company of fifteen now subscribers for $30.
