From Glmon's Pictorial. ,., ' Signing the Pledge. IT FHIBI CARIT. Nay, come not to me with jrour pledges, Wore You ha?f pledged yourself never to drink any more; . For I care not what else yon may think or may do, You must turn from tbe wine-cup, or I will from you! , You can "lore me as well and as truly," you say. If yon can, I can't "honor, respect and obey;" I might think all your words and your wishes a Joke, ... i If in sober earnest not always you spoke. ' If my eyes are not brighter to you than the foam Of the wine-cup, I never can glnddtm your home; And the lip that to me Its ilevotion would prove, Mustonly be sweet with the led wine of love. . - t. , . And yon smile, do you, Henry? you 11 come to re- pent, i For I tell you It Is n't like me to relent; I never will like you, I'll never forgive, And t never will have you so long as I live! , Yoiimay do almost anything else that you please, Yoa may even get ang.y, my scold, or may tease; Yoa may smoke 1 11 you're lo.t in the clouds, if you wont. Yon may chew, If you chooie, and I'll ne'er say i don't. S . ' Yon may go out and spend pleasant evenings from h'.me, , And I'll never look sullen nor cross when yon I come; i Only, always remember I'm waiting, and then I'sl rather you'd be baok as early as ten, I.".

He got up two hours before breakfast and wanted his bitters. None to be had; of course he felt bad. -'How far is it to the next tavern?" he asked. "Four miles,"' So off the tbirstv soul start ed, walking four mile jn the present frame of mind, arrived at the tavern, and found it to be a ' temperance

' Some time since the friends of tem temperance - perance temperance here formed and put in mo motion - tion motion a County Alliance, to be auxil auxiliary - iary auxiliary to the State Alliances, and pro proceeded - ceeded proceeded to elect the necessary officers. We have had several interesting meet meetings - ings meetings already, and many persons ex express - press express themselves as determined to let whig and democrat alone, and go for temperance candidates this fall ; al although - though although we' are sorry to find many that profess' to be ' temperance mun who will not engage in this cause, lest they should have to vote against their political principles.: Many of thom are members of the church, and ask them to go to a meeting of the friends of temperance, you can not get them near. They will do nothing to ad advance - vance advance the cause,, or stop the business of liquor sellinur in-our town. 1 m weed themselves." ' . But this is not what I want to write about. On last night our Al'iance held another meeting, which was ad addressed - dressed addressed by Rev. Mr, Zink, in a plain and practical speech, setting forth the claims of the Alliance, and the neces necessity - sity necessity of combining our forces in the election of the right kind of men to our next Legislature. V . ; We also had another meeting in town last night. Our rum-sucking Justice of the Peace, I am informed, made an Anti-Maine-Law speech to about one dozen boys, setting forth its bad qualities. He informed hoys that if the Maine Law was passed there would be a great amount of' blood shed, to their great terror. If such was the case' he would not fight un unless - less unless he had a hoop-pole or rock, and plenty of running ground. ' It will be remembered that he was elected by the rum yote, and no doubt he is trying the same again.

land Plaindealer: "A Mr. Jackson, of Ohio City, came into our office yesterday with his little daughter, a hne, rosy girl about seven years of age. It sur sur-prised - prised sur-prised us to learn that so young a Jerson should be a clairvoyant. Mr ackson states that she has possessed such powers of vision for about seven weeks that she received intimations one evening from the spirit world that she would be magnetized and receive the gift the next day. Such accord accordingly - ingly accordingly was the case. She also became1 a medium, produced therappings, and has frequent intercourse with the spir spirits - its spirits of tbe departed inhabiting other spheres. In the experiments perfor performed - med performed in our office, the most doubting skeptic admitted that there was no collusion, and that her mortal vision was completely obstructed. A kid glove, filled with cotton, was placed upon each eye, a bandage applied over them, and securely tied around her head. A Spanish quarter of a dollar was then thrown upon the table, and she was requested to tell the date. 01 , ."""J. 17113. 37 bank bill She took it op, and ' 1 rJU. JX oailK 0111 wus ucaii jiic- sented, and s1 e read it off promptly, "That's one dollar, State Bank 0! Ohio." On one bill a steamboat and sail vessel were engraved in the vig vignette - nette vignette so minutely as to be just dis discernible - cernible discernible to the naked eye. She de described - scribed described them exactly. In fact, any thing that was placed before her was read or described just as if she were examining it with the natural eye. She has the power of putting herself into the clairvoyant state, and also of throwing it off. Another singular ex experiment - periment experiment was this: A row of cents are laid, on the tab'e, under one of which is secretly placed a three cent coin. She will instantly designate the cent under which the piece lies, ap appearing - pearing appearing to possess the power to see through the copper. It is certainly a most remarkable case, and presents some new and singular phenomena. Those who are disposed to skepticism may draw their own conclusions, but we believe that the powers and influ influence - ence influence of the human mind are but dimly known, and that these and other facts will rear up an entirely new and more simple philosophy. The oW doctrines do not account for these things, and man will have an explanation. Hence such developments will tend to over overthrow - throw overthrow many of the old theories of the mental organization, and intro introduce - duce introduce a new philososhy." Brandy was invented by Ray Ray-mun.lus - mun.lus Ray-mun.lus Lilius, a celebrated alchymist, who died in 1315. ; But for many cen centuries - turies centuries it was only used as a medicine, and chiefly as an external application.

In the darkness of night there is a cooling Influence felt after the sultry day, which gives new verdure to the drooping plants, and renews the strength and beauty of the fading flowers.

Night, with its dusky shade, affords a happy season for meditation and prayer; 'tis then we pour forth our orisons, that at that still hour they may ascend to the Celestial Dome, and the asked for blessing be wafted by the zephyrs of Divine love round our hearts, to help us to weave from earthly virtues a crown of bliss, as chaplets for our broiys when trans transported - ported transported to the Eternal World our home.
