Farewell Address of an'Editor
to his Delinquent Patrons.
BY DAVID L ROATH.
Wretches ! In thus condescending to
address yon I am fully conscious that I
am elevating you to a position of far more
importance than you deserve, but I must
allow myself tbe satisfaction of giving
you a parting shot before I take my fare
well of you, 1 hope and trust, forever.
In noticing you 1 am aware that I low
er myself greatly even in my own esti-
ma‘ion—I feel as mean as if I had been
discovered stealing mutton from my best
friend. Yon doubtless imagined that
you would be considered so utterly con
temptible that you would escape scot
free—that you could sink into your in
significance and thus preserve yourself
from tbe finger of scorn. Mistaken
wretches! you shall be dragged from
the mass of festering corruption in which
you flatter yourselves you are hidden,
and exposed to the broad glare of day
in all your naked and bideons deformi
ty ! You shall not be suffered to fatten
undisturbed on tbe brains of those by far
your superiors in every desirable point:
you shall not, jackall-like, prey unmolest
ed upon the forms from which your un
utterable meanness has driven tbe breath
of life. Shiver in the ektreriiity of your
terror ! for a pen of steel shall pin you
to the wall.
For years I have “ coined my blood”
for your benefit. In sickness and in
health—when the dew of agooy was up
on my brow, and when the bloom of
health was upon my cheek—in all sea
sons and under all circumstances, I
have worked like a Trojan for your in
struction and amusement. With fin un-
spairing hand have I cast my pearls be
fore you—swiuc, miserable, selfish swine!
An adequate reward for my arduous la
bors I never hoped to obtain—it never
entered my head that you could appreci
ate my various exertions to their full ex
tent. But I did expect your encourage
ment so far as your contract went in a
pecuniary point of view—I trusted to
your honor, believing you would not
prove recreant to every principle of com
mon honesty for the miserable pittance
to be gained by so doing. How well I
calculated let my subscription list an
swer !
Who can calculate the vast benefit I
have conferred upon you ! Have I not
spread out before you new views of hu
man nature which your narrow contract
ed minds never could have imagined ?—
given you facts which have been of im
measurable advantage to yon in yonr
leisure, yonr business, your professions?
—delved like a convict in the rich mines
of other men 's thoughts, without my aid,
forever unapproachable by you ?—and
kept you constantly enlightened with e-
ven tbe very subjects of common conver
sation ? And I may suck my thumbs
and whistle to the wind for my recom
pense ! Yes, you pitiful robbers of the
beggar's mite ! your sordid souls would
shrink in horror from the contemplation
of an act of generosity! yonr vulgar ca
pacities could never fathom tbe depths
of a true man’s feeling! Were the world
peopled with abortions like you, Truth
would cut her throat in despair, and Ge
nius would drink itself to death on New
England ram.
To cater the complete satisfaction of
every one, payer, beggar, stealer and
borrower, is a little more than a mere
mortal editor can do—an angel editor
might possibly do it, bat we do hot hap
pen to have any of those gentlemen act
ing as conductors of journals in this low
er world. If one could translate himself
hither, and he was to choose this busi
ness and put his dependence upon sneb
as yon, one year would suffice to clean
him out—it would finish him, lock, stock
and barrel, even though be were in pos
session of the roof of Solomon’s Temple
could dig gold faster than a crazy Cali
fornian. I have done my duty—I have
labored harder than the industrious fleas
—and here am I to-day, a walking skel
eton, reduced thus by a kind of things
calling themselves human beings, but
who I swear, are a species of vampire !
My own mother would not know me, and
my father would kick me for the poorest
apology for an imposter it had ever been
bis ill fortnne.to behold. I am afraid
to leave the sort of cave I breathe la,
for I alter so fast I could not swear to
my own identity before my return- I
am known as “the ghost,” and pursuaded
by the friends I have left, to offer myself
to Barnum or some other curiosity mon
ger, as tbe successor of Galvin Ed son,
the walking anatomy!. If I had not
some little character yet remaining—a
little spirit which prevents me from dis
gracing a name once respectable, I should
follow tbe profession of blacking boots or
collecting puppies for the sausage mar
ket.
To the commonest feelings of charity,
which should be permitted in some small
degree to actuate the motives of ever;
member of society, yon arc the most ut
ter strangers. Yon cannot perceive up
on what principle it is that an honest man
I
If there were but one of you, or even oue
hundred, I should not trouble myself a-
boat yon, and you might go to tbe devil
without tbe semblance of a reproach from
me, but there being so many of yon who
have for such a long period of time been
so industriously, so enthusiastically en
gaged in snatching the bread from my
lips, I am constrained by my outraged
feelings to give my opinion of y<TU in
plain terms. If there Were rewards for
tbe redaction of petty swindling to a
science, you most undoubtedly might
congratulate yourselves on having achiev
ed the prize, for if there is a species of
condact which in absolute meanness can
surpass yours, I am yet to become
quainted with it. I can appreciate the
inducement of a hundred thousand dol
lars to a man of not very rigid principle
—I can in bis case understand the cause
of his departure from tbe strict laws of
honesty, but your degradation, you mis-
erable one and two dollar robbers, is too
deep for my conception. You are match
less in your vileness—unapproachable in
your iniquity—unpardonable in your
crime !
To expect that anything I can say
will produce a wholesome effect upon
you, would be the height of presump
tion. You are past tbe point at which
one conpunctious feeling could be awa
kened—the hue of shame will never more
be beheld upon your unblushing fronts.
You are so wedded to your brazon ef
frontery that human exertion can make
not tbe slightest impression upon yonr
hardened souls You would behold the
last pang of expiring nature with the hor
rid calmness of indifference, and chuckle
over the acquisition of a beggarly amount
from a nigger dead of the pleague 1 Mor
al lepers are ye, stalking through the
land 1 nngrateful vipers, who would re
joice in the opportunity to sting the hand
which generously fed and protected you!
This is my farewell—much good may
it do those who are not so far gone that
recovery is impossible. Yon have got
all you will ever get out of me—you
have robbed me of everything I had in
the world, and reduced me to destitu
tion, and now I hope that having accom
plished your unholy purpose, you feel in
some measure satisfied and will have a
little more mercy upon the next poor
devil of an editor who is trying to scratch
for a livelihood Though in such ex
tremity, I would not change situations
with you, for I have the gratifying assu
rance of a clear conscience, while you—
pah 1 you stink in the nostrils of every
editor in the laud 1 Corrupt wretehes 1
I leave you to wallow in your infamy—
to fatten for a time upon the recollection
of your villainous success, well knowing
that the day will inevitably come when
the tortures of your own minds will be
come a punishment more severe than the
invention of man could inflict. In this
thought I glory—it is sweeter than bon
ey of Hybla—it is more refreshing to
my spirit than is a glass of iced lemon
ade to the lips of a thirsty man 1 It will
cheer me beyond expression on my pil
grimage to a country that you can never
behold 1 I will feed upon it in the desert
—it shall be my solace in the hour of af
fiiction—it shall be my hope, to the end 1
Let humanity take warniig 1

morning, as we were taking a very com
fortable breakfast at the coffee-room of
our hotel, and as I was reading Galigna-

to all in the room, as be spoke loud
enough to be heard at the very end. I
enquired if he bad been to London. His
reply was, “I reckon I have; why I
come on purpose to see the Crystial Pa

did you like it?” “Oh, that exhibition

How to Cure a Cold —Of all other
means of curing colds, fasting is the
most effectual. Let whoever has a cold
eat nothing whatever for two days, and
his cold will be gone, provided lie is not
confined in bed, because by taking that
surplus which caused his disease by
breath, he soon carries off his disease by
removing tbe cause. This will be found
more effectual if he adds copious water
drinking to prostrate fasting. By the
time a person has fasted one day and
night, he will experience a freedom from
pain Und a clearness of mind in delight
ful contrast to that roented stupor and
physical pain caused by colds. And how
infinitely better is this method of break-
colds than medicines 1
that daisy.
Gems of Thought.
Falsehood could do little mischief if it
did not gain the credit of truth.
Uncharitable persons are generally
more unthinkingly than perversely so.
If you can get a man’s thoughts to en
tertain what is right, you may trust him
to do what is right, if he have a right
principle.
He who takes his character from what
others say of him, will be ignorant of bis
real self, which can only be self-known.
The knowledge of evil may help to do
good, and assist us to measure its value ;
every new idea should be to us as a new
feather in the wings that bear us up
ward.
A bad man has no more common way
of keeping at peace with himself than
that of ascribing to others similar or even
greater faults than his own.
Independence of mind, freedom from
a slavish respect to the taste and opinion
of others, next to goodness of heart, wili
be3t insure our happiness in the conduct
of life.
A large share of the wrong doing and
speaking of life comes of the mind’s list-
lessness. That we should be listless,
however, about what is right, shows how
degenerate we are.
There is a fashion in the world of ho
noring what has a fair outside. Success,
too, is made the te5t of merit ; so much
so, that if a man have a crown rained
down on him, it would be said he was
princely born.
Timidity is generally the fruit of self
ishness ; some men are so circumspect,
so sensitive of danger, of things that
may harm them they know not how, that
they never give advice, or say a gene
rous word for another, without trem
bling.
Some men are too courteous to inter
rupt your discourse, at the same time
that they He upon tbe watch until you
are done, bearing nothing you say, and
only thinking of what they are bursting
to speak. Is this courtesy ?
All creatures in their utmost sum, be
ginning from least, and going onwards
from first to last, arc but shadings, jots
and titles of tbe one good, that is so
beautiful, so great, so good, that nothing
else ean be so, but in tbe proportion of
its likeness to it.
A Will and a Way.
A poor woman who was ardently pi
ous, on hearing some benevolent object
presented, had a strong desire to contri
bute to it at least the widow’s mite. She
went borne and searched the house, but
could fiud nothing. She wa9 greatly dis
tressed. She knew not how to be de
nied the privilege of casting a little into
the treasury of the Lord. She entered
her closet and prayed earnestly that God
would make her submissive, if it was
clearly his will that she should give no
thing. On leaving her closet, she went
into a back apartment, and spying a lit
tle bag of dried seeds, she took them
down and thought to herself that per?
haps some one might purchase them.—
Just at this moment her minister came
in. She disclosed to him her feelings,
and showed him the seeds. He took
them, and observed that he was going
over the river, and perhaps he might
sell them. On his way, be met a bro
ther in the ministry, who invited him to
address a missionary meeting that even
ing. He consented to do so ; and in
the midst of bis address, be told the
toachisg story of the poor woman, and
presented her bag of seeds for sale to tbe
audience. A gentleman arose and of
fered five dollars for them. He took the
seeds and offered them for sale again.—
Another person offered five dollars for
them; and thus they proceeded, until
they bad obtained twenty dollars for the
bag of seeds. Tbe minister took the
money, and, carrying it to tbe woman,
spread out four five dollar bills before
her as the avails of her seeds. Sbe was
overwhelmed under a sense of divine extensive and refined than mere gravita- S not forbidden by omnipotence to cross
goodness, and most cheerfully jave the tjon. The handful of earth that follows j the earth’s orbit, or approach so near to

Turn of Life.
From forty to sixty, a man who has
properly regulated himself may be con
sidered as in the prime of life. His ma
tured strength of constitution renders
him almost impervious to tbe attacks of
disease, and experience has given his
judgment the soundness of almost infalli
bility. His mind is resolute, firm, and
equal; all his functions are in tbe high
est order ; he assumes the mastery of
business; builds up a competence on
the foundation he has formed in early
manhood, and passes through a period of
life attended by many gratifications.—
Having gone a year or two past sixty,
he arrives at a critical period in the road
of existence; the river of death flows be
fore him, and he remains at a standstill.
But athwart this river is a viaduct called
“The Turn of Life,” which, if crossed
in safety, leads to the valley of “Old
Age, - ’ round which the river winds, and
then flows beyond, without a boat or
causeway to effect its passage. The
bridge Is, however, costructed of fragile
materials, and it depends upon how it is
trodden whether it bend or break.—
Gout, apoplexy, and other characters al
so, are in the vicinity, to waylay the
traveller and thrust him from the pass;
but let him gird up his loins, and pro
vide biinseif with a fitting staff and he
may trudge on in safety with perfect
composure. To quit metaphor, “The
Turn of Life” is a turn either into a pro
longed walk, or into the grave. The
system and powers having reached their
utmost expansion, now begin either to
close like flowers at sunset, cr break
down at once. One injudicious stimu
lant, a fatal excitement, may force ic be
yond its strength—whilst a careful sup
ply of props, and tbe withdrawal of all
that tends to force a plant, will sustain
it in beauty and in vigor until night bas
entirely set.— The Science of Life by a
Physician.
which continued for the space of three
hours'; and they perhaps, spurned the
idea of supernatural darkness, as mu$h
as the Rev. Mr. Stuart does that of a li
teral flood ; but, Chronology proves tbe
time specified to be precisely tbe time of
the Saviour’s crucifixion, and the sci
ence of Astronomy demonstrates beyond
doubt, that it was about the time, of the
full moon, at which time, it is a “physi
cal impossibility” for a natural eclipse
of tbe sun to take place. Natural sci
ence when properly undcrstooc^ends to
confirm and s’rengtben Christ® faith ;
but when it is wrested to the encourage
ment of infidelity, the porpetrator de
serves at least, a passing rebuke.
JOEL MATHEWS.
Upson County, April 4th, 1852.
For the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Mr Editor In your paper of
Wednesday last, I see a short article
headed “New Theory of the Deluge,”
statiog the “novel” views of tbe Rev.
Mr. Stuart, of Cincinnati, “respecting
the deluge as described in the scrip
lures,” in which it is said, “he insists
that it is an allegory ” “A literal flood
like that described by Moses, the reve-
rend'gentleman says, could not have 4a
ken place. Men of science reject, as an
absurdity the idea of a universal deluge
having occurred since the creation of
man. And none stands out for a li eral
flood except a stubborn few who make
the omnipotence of God the scape-goat
of physical impossibilities.”
I concur with you in the opLion that
those views are “startling innovations
upon the general belief,” and upon the
vital doctrine of Christianity. For by
the same parity of reasoning,all the great
and orthodox principles of the Christian
religion might be allegorized. And if
the reverend gentleman’s mental facul
ties wore as well stored with a knowledge
of the principles of natural science, or
the immutable laws of nature, as I fear
his heart is wiib the corrupt principles
of infidelity, he certainly would not ac
