A GEORGIA STORY.
BY THE HON. 7. B. T.AMin
At the entrance to .one of those gorges or
gaps, m the great Apalachian chain of miun-
tains, in thetr passage across'the northern por
tion of Georgia, a blacksmith had erected his
forge in the early settlement of that region bv
the Anglo-American race, and drove a thrifts - .
trade in the way of facing axes and pointing ?£? ome terrible grimalkin,
ploughs for the settlers, and shoeing horses for Stubbleworth arranged his few
wayfaring people, in their transit through the
„„„„ .soon became the subject of anim.^d
conversation, and there was no little wincing
one fearing it would be his cruel fate to &
sent a victim to appease the wrath of this human
minotaur against the Methodist Church.
il was decreed that the Reverend
Stnbbleworth was the doomed individual,
and when the annunciation came, many an eve
01 mingled pity and cariosity was tamed on his
rnddy, good-natured face, to see how the dispen-
Mtion was borne; but not a muscle moved.
With a quiet smile he professed a perfect will
ingness to go whero he was sent. He was “clay
m the hands of the potter," he said. If he
Piqued himself on a stolid indifference to the
blacksmiths’*! pommelings, or if he relied on
tns ample dimensions to protect himself, he
never disclosed it, but appeared as self-satisfied
and content as ever. His predecessor looked
for all the world liko a mouse just escaped from
country to examine gold mines and land.
As he was no ordinary personage in the’ affairs
of his neighborhood, and will make a conspicu
ous figure in this narrative, some account of his
peculiarities will not be uninterresting. Hav
ing acted through life on a homely maxim of his
own, pay up as yon go up,” he had acquired
some money, and was out of debt; and conse
quently enjoyed “the glorious privilege of be
ing independent,” in a degree that is unknown
S.SS’ASffi a Cis .“U5
well-looking man of thirty-five, inst vonne
enough t6 feel that alibis faculties, mental and
phyacal, had reached their greatest develop
ment ; and just old enough to havo assured suf-
ficent experience of men and things, to
the past serve ns a finger to his future journey
through life. With a shrewd, but open, bold
and honest-look, there was a gleeful expression
in the comers of his eyes, that spoke of fnn.—
The “laughing devil in his eye” was not a ma
licious spirit, however. His physical conforma
tion was that which combined great strength
with agility; and if he had been fated to havo
been a contemporary of his great prototype,
Vulcan, there can be no doubt but the Lemnian
blacksmith would havo allotted to him a front
forgo in his establishment, to act ns a sort of
pattern-card, and to divert the public gaze from
his own lame leg to the fair proportions of his
foreman.
Now, although Ned Forgcron, for such was
the name he inherited from some Gallic ances
tor, was a good-natured man, yet the possession
of great muscular strength and courage, and the
admiration which a successful exercise of those
powers never fails to command, had somewhat
spoiled him. Without meaning to injure any
mortal, he had managed, nevertheless, to try his
prowess on sundry of his neighbors; and from
tho success which always crowned his honest
efforts in that way, had unconsciously acquired
the character of a bally. ,
With very early advantages of elementary ed
ucation, he had, nevertheless, at different pe
riods, collected.a mass of heterogeneous informa
tion, which he was very fond of displaying on
occasions. Ho was a sort of political antiquary;
and could tell the opinion of Mr. Jefferson or
Mr. Madison on any subject; and was referred
to on all disputed points, on the theory and his-1
tory of the government, that arose among the w * t ^ 1 a
candidates for the legislature, and j 1 TTr
cians. This he studied on account! ______
soquenco it invested him with. But why ho had
treasured np an old and well thumbed copy of 1
Paine’s “Age of Reason,” and affected skepti
cism as to the veracity of the story of Jonah
and the whale, ’ Balaam and his ass, would bo
hard accounting for, unless it proceeded from a
desire of a character for singularity and oriidi-
tion. When vanity once gets the mastery of
a man’s reason, thero is no telling the absurdi
ties it will lead him into. He was fond of speak
ing of Volney, and being found with a copy of
Taylor’s “Diegesis” in his hand, although fow
of his neighbors had heard of the “Ruins,” or
knew what Diegesis meant.
This peculiarity, together with the pertinacity
of tho missionaries, Worcester and Butler, which
carried thorn to tho penitentiary, may aecountfor
tho great avorsion of Mr. Edward Forgeron to
all preachers of the gospel.
His disliko for them was so excessive, that ha
could scarcely speak of the “hypoorjticsl scoun
drels,” ns ho called them, without 'flying rr.to a
passion, and using indecorous language. Bat a
circumstance occurred which gave his zeal u dis
tinct and sectarian direction. A Methodist
pronchor over in Tonnessoo, who was fond of
spicing his discourse with nnecdotes,<onee mado
him the principal character in a long sermon.
His peculiarities were dilatedon, and his heresies
donlt with in severity. Ho was ridiculed, and
his literary acquirements disparaged by the
preacher. All this came to t he ears of Forgeron.
with such additions and embellishments as sto
ries usually receive in passing to a third person.
It wonld bo as useless to attempt to describo a
mountain storm ns to picture the wrath of this
mountaineer. Bntif we cannot portray the storm,
the consequences may be easily told. The black
smith swore in his wrath ho would whip every
Methodist preacher that passed tho gap, in re
venge of his insult.
Forgeron was a man of his word, as the bruis
ed features of many of John Wesley’s disciples
could testify. His character soon went abroad,
and.tho good old matrons of tho surrounding
counties on each side of tho mountain trembled
at his name. In short, tho mountain pass,
which was really as romantic a place as a land
scape painter wonld seek for a picture, and was
juH tho spot to remind a youth fresh from his
classic studies of the place where Leonidas and
his three hundred Spartans fell,’in attempting
to defend Greece against the army of Xerxes-
in despite of the grandeur of its beetling cliffs
and tho beauty of its verdure, was associnte<Up
the minds of many pious persons, with the brmRi
affairs, and bidding his friends adieu, mounted
his old roan and departed for his new home of
trials, with a song of praise on his lips. Let ns
hope the best forhimT
CHAPTER H.
The Rev. Mr. Stubbleworth was very much
pleased with his new situation. Having been
transferred from a level pine wood's country,
near the confines of Florida, tho novelty of
mountain scenery and a pure, bracing atmo
sphere seemed to inspire him with new life.
Complimenting all the mothers on the singular
beauty and intelligence of their children, with a
delicate aJosion to their own personal appear
ance, he soon became a general favorite. Mr.
Stubbleworth “knew which side of tho bread his
butter was on.” The time arriving for his de
parture to visit the tramontane portion of his
pastoral care, he was warned of the danger he
was abont to encounter; but they were heard
with tho same placid smile. Tho worthy ladies
pictured to him “chimeras dire,” sufficient to
have abated the zeal of any other individual.
Bnt that gentleman quieted their fear by ap
pealing to the power that “tempera the wind to
the shorn Iamb,” with a countenance as lamb-

singing—

They watched him until his portly person and
horse grew dim in the distance, and tamed away,
sighing that such a good man should fall into
the hards of that monster, the blacksmith. For
geron had heard of bis new victim, and rejoiced
that his size and appearance famished a better
subject for his vengeance than tho attenuated
frame of tho late parson. Oh, what a nice beat
ing he wonld have! He had heard, too, that
some Methodist preachers were rather spirited,
and hoped this one might prove so, that he might
provoke him to fight. Knowing tho clergyman
most pass on Saturday in the afternoon, he gave
his striker holiday, and reclining on a bench, re
galed himself on the beauties of Tom Paine,
awaiting the arrival of the preacheT. It was not
over an hour before he heard the words,
"now happy are they who thoir Savior obey.
And have laid np their treuure above,”
in a full clear voice, and soon the vocalist,
the angle of a rock, rode leisurely np

smith.
• “I have many miles to ride, ” answered the
preacher, “and haven't time, my friend; I’ll
call as I return. ”
“Yourname is Stabbleworth, and yon are the
hypocrite the Methodists have sent here, eh?”
“ My name is Stabbleworth,” he meekly re
plied.
“Didn’t you know my name was Ned Forge-
ron, the blacksmith, what whips every Metho
dist preacher that goes through this gap ?’’ was
asked with an audacious look; “and how dare
yon com© lioro ?”
The preacher replied that he had heard Mr,
Forgeron’s name, bnt presumed that he did not
molest well-behaved travelers.
'' “You presume to presume so! Yes, yon are
the most presumptuous people, yon Methodists,
that ever trod shoe leather, anyhow. Well,
what’ll yon do if I don’t whip yon this time, yon
beef-headed disciple, you ?” m
Mr. Stubbleworth professed his willingness to
do anything reasonable, to nvoid such penance.
“Well, there’s three things yon have to do, or
I’ll manl yon into a- jelly. Tho first is yon are
to quit preaching; the second is, you moat wear
this last will and testament of Thomas Paine
next t« your heart, readmit every day, and be
lieve ev'ry word you read;,and the third is, yon
are to curse the Methodists in everjr crowd yon
get into.”
Tho preacher looked on during these novel
propositions without a line of Ins face being
moved, and at tho end r replied that the terms
were unreasonable, and he wonld not submit to
gan to raise his voice in song once more, and I
Ned knew what wonld come next
“ni do my best,” he said, in an humbled
voice:
t Mell, that's a man!” Mr. Stabbleworth said.
"Now, get np and go down to the Branch and
washyour face, and dnst your clothes, and tear
up Mr. Paine’s testament, and turn your
thoughts on high.”
Ned arose with feelings he had never experi
enced before, and went to obey the lavatory
j auction of the preacher; when that gentleman
mounted his horse, he took Ned by the fraud and
said, “ Keep yonr promises, and I’ll keep your
counsel., Good evening, Mr. Forgeron, Ill look
for yon to-morrow,” and off he rode with the
same impertnrable countenance, singing so loud
as to scare the eagles from their eyries in the
overhanging rocks. v
“Well,” thought Ned, “this is a nice busi
ness ! What would people sayif they knew that
Ed. Forgeron was whipped before his own door
in the gap, and by a Methodist preacher, too?”
Bnt his mnsings were more in sorrow than in
anger.
CHAPTER m.
The disfigured countenance of Forgeron was
of course the subject of numerous questions that
night among his friends, to which he replied
with a stem look they well understood, and the
vague remark that he had met with an accident.
Of course they never dreamed of the true cause.
Forgeron looked in the glass, and perhaps com
pared the changing hue of his “black eye from
a recent scuffle,” to the rainbow in the ship
wreck scene—“blending every color into one.”
Or perhaps he had never read that story, and
only muttered to himself, “Ned Forgeron
whipped by a mcthodist preacbcr!”
His dreams that night were of a confused and
disagreeable nature, and waking in the morn
ing, he had an indistinct memory of something
unpleasant having occurred. At.first he could
not recollect the cause of his feelings, bnt the
braises on his face and body soon called them to
mind, as well as the promise. He mounted fri.
horse in silence and went to redeem it.
From that time his whole conduct manifested
a change of feeling. The goasipa of the neigh
borhood observed it, and whispered that Ned
was silent, serious, and had gone to meeting ev
ery Sunday since the accident. They wondered
at his burning the books he used to read so much.
Strange stories were circulated as to this meta
morphosis of the jovial blacksmith into
gloomy and taciturn man. Some supposed,
very sagely, that a spirit had enticed urn into
the mountains, and, after giving him a glimpse
into the future, had misled him to a crag, where
he had fallen and braized his face. Others
gave the Prince of Darkness the credit of the
change; bnt none suspected the Methodist
preacher, and, as the latter gentleman had no
vanity to gratify, the secret remained with Ned.
This gloomy state of mind continued until For
geron visited a camp meeting. The Rev. Mr.
stabbleworth preached a sermon that seemed
to enter bis soul, and relieved it of a burden,
and the song of
How happy are they who their Saviour obey,'
was only half through, when he felt like a now
man. Forgeron was from that time a “ shout
ing Methodist.” At a love feast a short time
subsequent, he gave in his experience, and re.
vealed the mystery of his conviction and con
version to his astonished neighbors. The Rev.
Simon Stabbleworth who had faithfully kept the
secret nntil that time, could contain himself no
longer, bnt gave vent to his feelings in convul-
teara of
■ cheeks.
Yes, iny brethren,” he said, “ it’s all a fact;
I did manl the grace into his unbelieving seal,
there's no doubt"
The blacksmith of the mountain pass became
a happy man, and a Methodist preacher.

Mr. Sprague rose to a personal explanation,

will snspend their judgment on all newspaper
articles bearing on me to my disadvantage.
The telegraphic summary of my recent speech,
as well as the report in tho Globe, has some
material errors. . They may be assured that my
words and courage do not rest on wine, or whis
ky, or any other stimulant, bnt upon knowledge
of the shrinking of property, and tne loss of
virtne going on aronnd me. My great anxiety
is to effect a cure now. The remedy is now ac
cessible. A year hence it piay bo beyond onr
reach. My leading idea is to correct the condi-

illustration of the condition throughout the

gate that leads to destruction. And Ned Forge
ron, tho handsome blacksmith; Was invested
with the attributes and hideous aspect of his
Satanic Majesty, by many a mountain girl who
wonld doubtless have fallen in “love at first
sight” with him under any other name. Tho
preacher whose circuit lay on either side of the
mountain, at the time Ned’s direful edict was
promulgated to the world, was a meek and lowly
man, who approached nearly in his natural dis
position to willing obedience to the mandate,
relative to turning the check to the smiter. The
poor soul passed many sleepless nights, in view
of the fate that awaited him at the mountain
pass In his dreams he saw Forgeron, with n
huge sledge-hammer in his hand, ready to dash
out his brains, and would start vffth such vio
lence as to wake himself. 'Hff'inqnired if there
was no other place at "which the mountain could
be passed, only to learn his doom more certain
ly. Being a timid man, bnt withal devoutly im
pressed with a sense of duty, he resolved to dis
charge duties faithfully, be tho consequences
what they might. Like lambs going to the
slaughter did ho wend his way toward the gap;
as he came in front of tho shop, tho blacksmith
was striking the last blow on a shovel, and sing
ing away, to the tune.of “ Clear the Kitchen —
“Old Georgia is a noble State,
Her laws are good, her people great.
On catching a glimpse of the poor parson,
who had flattered himself that he was abont to
pass with impunity, Ned sung out—“stop there,
you eternal shad-belly, and pay the penalty for
an injured reputation!”' The holy man pro
tested innocence of having ever intentionally in
jured him, by word or deed.
The mans subdued loo^s and earnest voice
had half dissuaded Ned from his stem purpose,
when the giggling of his striker, and the cheer
ing of two or three idlers, nerved him to do
what he felt was mean. Let any one pause a
and reflect-if he has never been urged
on to acts liis conscience smote him for by the
opinions of others, before Mr. Forgeron is sen-
- tanced as a devil. Tho preacher received sev
eral boxes on his ears, and heard many denun
ciations against his sect before he was permitted
to depart; and when that permission was re
ceived, ho was not slow in availing himself ot
the privilege. , .
At the next annual conference, when circuits
Well, yon’ve got a whaling to submit to,
then; I’ll larrup yon like blazes! I’ll tear yon
into doll-rags comer-ways. Get down, yon beg
gar!”
The preacher- remonstrated, bnt Forgeron
walked np to tho horeo and threatened to tear
him off if he did not dismount; whereupon the
worthy man mado a virtue of a necessity, nnd
^“I have but one request to make of yon, my
friend; that is, that you won’t beat me with this
overcoat on. It was a present from the ladies of
my last circuit, and I do not wish to have it
torn.’-’
“Off with it, then, and that suddenly, yon
basin-faced imp you!”
The Methodist preacher slowly drew off sur-
coat as the blacksmith continued his tirade of
abase on himself and his sect, and as he drew
his right hand from tho sleeve, and threw the
garment behind him, he dealt Mr. Forgeron a
tremendous blow between his eyes, which laid
that person at fall length on tho ground, with
the testament of Thomas Paine beside him. The
Rev. Mr. Stubbleworth, with tho tact of a con
noisseur in such matters, did not wait for his
adversary to rise, bnt mounted him with tho
quickness of a cat, and as he bestowed his blows
with a bounteous hand on the stomach and face
of the blacksmith, continued his song where he
had left off on his arrival at the smithy :
•Tonfuo cannot express tho Bweet comfort and
peace * u
Of a soul in its earliest love."

“The first is, that you will never molest a

rose, and he hesitated, and the reverend gen

renewed his blows and song—

the disastrous results of its action. H any one,
lure or-elsewhere, attacks me, I shall “move on
the enemy's works” to the best of my ability.
Following out this idea, I shall undoubtedly
antagonize myself to those who have been favor
ites with tho people, as was tho case in my last
remarks before the Senate, on which some part
of the press has commented adversely. Bnt let
it be so. I will not longer sit and hear incor
rect statements concerning our condition—our
drifting condition—come from whence theymay.
