Macon, Ga. Be’c. Feb. 14,1871 & 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.
