An Indictment.
The hislory of King Alcohol is a
hisiory of shame and corruption, of
cruelty, crime, rage and ruin.
He has taken the glory of health
from off the cheek and placed there
the reddish hue of the wine cup.
He has taken the lustre from the
eye and made it dim and bloodshot.
He has taken beauty and comeli
ness from the face, and left it ill
shaped and bloated.
He has taken strength from the
limbs and made them weak and tot
tering.
He has taken firmness and elas
ticity from the steps, and made them
faltering and treacherous.
He has taken vigor from the arm
and 1 ft flabbiness and weakness.
He has taken vitality from the
blood and filled it with poison and
seeds of disease and death.
He has transformed this body,
fearfully and wonderfully aud ma*
jestically made, God’s masterpiece
of animal mechanism, into a vile,
loathsome, sinking mass ot humani
ty-
He entered the brain—the temple
of thought—dethroned reason, and
made il red with folly.
He has taken the beam of intelli-
gence from the eye, and exchanged
for it the stupid stare of idiocy aud
dullness.
He has taken the impress of en
nobled manhood from off the face
and left the marks of sensuality and
bruilishness.
He ha* bribed the tongue to utter
madness and cursing.
He has turned the lips to songs of
ribaldry and reveling.
He has taken cunning from the
hands, and turned them from deeds
of usefulness to become instruments
of brutality and murder.
He has broken the lies of friend
ship and planted the seed of enmity.
He has made a kind, indulgent
father a brute, a tyrant, a murderer.
He has transformed the loving
mother into a very fiend of bruitish
incarnation.
He has made the obedient and af-
fectionate sons and daughters the
breakers of hearts and the destroyers
of homes.
He has taken luxuries from off the
table, and compelled men to cry on
account of famine and heg for bread.
He has stripped backs of their
broadcloth and silk, and clothed
them in rags.
He has stolen men’s palaces, and
given them wretched hovels in ex-
change.
He has taken away acres and giv
en not even a decent burial place in
death.
He has filled our streets and by
ways with violence and lawlessness.
He has complicated our laws and
crowded our courts.
He has filled to overflowing our
penitentiaries aud houses of correct
tion.
He has peopled with his multitude
our poor houses.
He has straitened us for room in
our insane asylums.
He has filled our world with tears
and groans, with the poor and help
less, with wretchedness and want.
He has banished Christ from the
heart and erected a hell.
These are the counts of our in-
dictment. Let the world judge of
the truth.
A Desperate Case.
When the green-eyed monster
plants his envenomed fangs in the
vitals of a West Tennessee youth it
is always best for the whole neigh
borhood to look out for squalls.—-
Some days ago there was a densely
attended wedding not very far from
Jackson, in that end of the State.
Among the very few who were pres
ent on the occasion was a young
man who was known to be despe
rately in love with the bride, and
whose heart and hand she had “re
jected with scorn.” In the midst ol
the marriage ceremony the house
was suddenly shaken to its very
foundation by something resembling
a mixture of earthquakes and dis
charges of artillery. The rejected
lover, in order to be revenged, bad
piled up a number of shells under
the smokehouse and touched them
off with a train of powder.
The scene which followed the
explosion is said to have been beggar
ed beyond desciiption. The smoke
house, with all its several thousand
pounds of bacon, was hurled high
into the air and scatteied to the four
winds of heaven. The bride fainted
in the arms of her adored one, the
rest of the calico screamed, the men
swore, and for some little time the
widest consternation prevailed.—
Meanwhile the young man, with his
soul steeped in the sweets of res
venge, took to his heels and never
has been seen since. Young ladies
of West Tennessee who are about
to marry should have their rejected
lovers bound over to keep out from
under the smokehouse with their
shells.
the
A Touching Incident-
We copy as follows from
Memphis Avalanche:
Iu the city is poor family, the fath
er of w’hich is a Catholic, while the
mother is a Protestant. Recently
their daughter, a beautiful child of
about five years, suddenly sickened
and died. During its sickness it
was attended by a physician who
was accompanied on every visit by
his daughter, a girl of fifteen years,
who evinced the greatest solicitude
for the little sufferer. When death
came with its cold, icy grasp, this
young lady was there, and with ten
der hands closed the innocent eyes
and arranged the form of the babe
who had been called home. The
funeral took place the next day, and,
owing to the conflict of religious
opinion between the parents, neither
priest or minister were called in.
The young lady went to the house
of mourning, and, in company with
the grief-stricken parents, followed
the remains to the cemetery. Ar
riving there, the little body was
placed by the side of its narrow
resting place to allow of a last look
at the sweet face which all loved so
well. With a low wail the poor
mother threw herself down by il,
and with passionate kisses sought,
as it were, to recall life - to the cold
motionless clay. Every one was
visibly affected by this outburst,
and when she called upon the young
lady to offer a prayer for her poor
darling, all reverentially uncovered
and knelt to the ground. The young
lady, without a moment’s hesitation,
knelt and commenced praying. At
first her voice was visibly affected
by emotion, but as she proceeded
she seemed to forget self and sur
roundings, and poured forth such a
fervent and touching appeal to the
Throne of Grace that there was not,
when she ceased, a dry eye or an
unmoved heart in the entire assem
bly. When she had finished the bo
dy was carefully lowered into the
grave, above which now grows some
beautiful flowers, mementoes of the
love of the fair 3’oung lady.
The Sing’s Mistake-
A correspondent of the Lumber-
ville (N. J.) Beacon says, a short
time since, while staying at the bo*
rough of B., he overheard the follow
ing, which he thinks is loo good to be
lost:
A number ot politicians, all of
whom were seeking offices under
the Government, were seated under
a tavern porch, when an old toper
named Joel D., a person w’ho was
very loquacious when corned, but
exactly the opposite when sober,
said that he would tell them a story.
They told him to “fire ayray,” where
upon he spoke as follows :
A certain King—I don’t recollect
his name—had a philosopher upon
whose judgment he always depend
ed. Now it happened one day that
the King took it into his head to go
hunting, and summoned his nobles,
and making the necessary prepara
tions, he summoned the philosopher,
and asked him if it would rain.—
The philosopher told him it would
not, and they started. While jour
neying along they met a countryman
mounted on a jackass-
He advised them to reiurn, “for,”
said he, “it will certainly rain.”
They smiled contemptuously upon
him, and then passed on. Before
they had gone many miles, however,
they had reason to regret not having
taken the rustic’s advice, as a show
ercoming up drenched them to ihe
skin. When they had returned to
the palace, ihe king reprimanded the
philosopher severely.
“I met a countryman,” said he,
“and he knows a great deal more
than you. He told me it would
rain, whereas you told me it would
not.”
The King then gave him his
walking papers and sent for the
countryman, who soon made his
appearance.
“Tell me,” said the King, “how
you knew it would rain.”
“I did not know,” said the rustic,
“my jackass told me so. *
“And how, pray, did he tell you ?”
asked the King.
“By pricking up his ears, your
Majesty,” said the rustic
The King sent the countryman
away, and procured the jackass of
him, he placed him—the jackass—
in the office the philosopher filled.
“And here,” observed Joel, look
ing very wise, “is where the King
made a great mistake.”
“How so ? 3 ’ inquired the auditors.
“Why, ever since that time, ’
said Joel, with a grin on his phiz,
“every jackass wants office.”
A leading lecturer classifies his
audience as follows ; The ‘still at-
tentives,’the ‘quick responsive,’ the
‘hard to lifts,’ the ‘won’t applauds’
and the ‘get up and go outs.’
A Pbetty 6tory.—A gentleman
writing from Paris, tells a very pret
ty story ot a peasant and his wife,
who were very poor indeed, almost
destitute, and so, though they loved
each other much, she went out as a
nurse, to Paris. In Paris she enter
ed the service of some rich Ameri
cans, who, when they returned to
their own country, offered her terms
so templing that she crossed the At
lantic with them. Year after year
she sent her earnings to her husband,
and year after year he laid by the
the hard won gold, until there was
enough to buy the cottuge he lived
in, and a little field or two, enough
to keep them in independence all
their lives. The gentleman went in
to the cottage and saw the new wal
nut furniture, and was told by the
peasant that all this comfort was her
doing, all this wealth her winning.
S5he had learned to write on purpose
that she might write to him, and
month after month her kindly letters
came, cheering him under the trial
of her absence. It was four years
since she had left the cottage, and
for these four lonely years the father
had been like a widower, and the
children haJ grown around him.
*
Honor to the Scissors.—The news
paper reporter says: Some people,
ignorant of wha! good editing is, im
agine the getting up of selected mat
ter to be the easiest work in the
world lo do, whereas it is the nicest
work ’hat is done on a payer. If
they find the editor with scissors in
hand, they are sure to say, “Eh !
this is the way you get up original
matter,” eh! accompanying their
new and witty questions with an id
iotic wink or smile. The tacts are,
that the interest, the morality, the
variety and usefulness of a paper
depeud, in no small degree, upon its
selected matter, and few meu are
fully capable of the position who
would not themselves be able to
write many of the articles they se
lect. A sensible editor desires con
siderable selected matter, because
he knows that one mind cannot make
so good a paper as five or six.
In the gradual development of a
bud into a beautiful and lull grown
flower, there is something that in
vites our deepest admiration. But
there is a development surpassing
this in beauty and grandness-—the
development of human character.
What object more worthy our con
templation than that of a human
soul passing through each success
ive stage ot its existence, the rapid
cultivation of our intellect, and the
bringing out of that which God has
endowed us with? We are born with
the germ of character within us; and
as our bodies develop themselves, so
do our characters. Some traits of
character necessarily unfold them
selves with our growth ; others need
to be stimulated and excited into
growth by some particular influ*
ence. The man of genius has that
within him which is to stamp him as
such. The great general has the
foundation ol generalship born with
him ; all that is needed is some pow
erful influence to develop it.
A Long Branch correspondent
thus concludes an account of a fight
lor a kiss : “She fought fair, how
ever, and when she could fight no
longer for want of breath, site yield
ed handsomely. Her arms fell down
by her side—tier hair feil back over
her shoulders—her eves closed, and
there lay a little plump mouth all in
the air. Gracious, did vou ever see
a hawk pounce on a robin ? or a bee
upon a clover top ? I need not say
more. What a beautiful - picture for
a painter,”
One man in a hundred reads a
book; ninety nine in a hundred, a
newspaper. Nearly a century ago,
when the American press, which is
now a spreading oak, was in its
green twigg, Thomas Jefferson said
he would rather live in a country
with newspapers and without a gov
ernment than in a country with a
government but without newspapers.
The press instead of being the fourth,
is the first estate of the realm.
\Golden Age.
A rural youth was in the city one
day, and dropped casually in at a
hardware store. Lounging through
the store he came to a large buzz-
saw suspended against the wall.
Giving it a rap with his knuckles,
producing a sharp ring, he remarked
to the storekeeper, who came up at
that moment; “1 had an old dad
ripped to pieces by one of ’em fel
lows last week!” Tetchiug, wasn’t it ?
Let the youth who stands w’ith a
glass of liquor in his hand consider
which he had better throw away—
the liquor or himself.
The original press used by Benja
min Franklin is said to be in one
hundred and seventy-six different
American printing offices.
