The following beautiful poem is from the pen of the gifted tragedian, Lawrence Barrett: Is there a place on the face of the earth Where charity dwelleth, where* virtue has birth ? Where bosoms in kindness and mercy will heave, And the poor and the wretched shall ask and receive ? Is there no place on earth where a knock from the poor Will bring a kind angel to open the door? Ah! search the wide world wherever you can, There is no door open for the moneyless man. Go look in the hall where the chandelier light Drives off from its splendor the darkness of night; Where the rich, hanging velvet in shadowy fold Sweeps gracefully down, with its trimmings of gold. And mirrors of silver take up and review In long lighted vistas the ’wildering view ; Go there in your patches, and find if you can A welcoming smile for the moneyless man. Go look to your Judges, in dark flowing gown, With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly down; Where he frowns on the weak and then smiles on the strong, And punishes right while he justifies wrong; Where jurors their lips on the Bible have laid To render a verdict they’ve already made; Go there in the court-room, and find if you can Any law for the case of a moneyless man. Go look in the banks where mammon has told His hundreds and thousands of silver and gold; Where, safe from the hands of the starving and poor Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore ; Walk up to the counter—ah, there you may stay ’Till your limbs have grown old and your hair turns gray, And you’ll find at the bank notone of the clan With money to lend to a moneyless man. Go look in your church of the cloud-reaching spire, Which gives back to the sun his same look of fire, Where the arches and columns are gorgeous within, Amhtlie walks seem as pure as a soul without sin ; Go down the long aisle—see the rich and the great, In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate, Walk down in your patches and find if you can Who opens a pew for a moneyless man. Then go to your hovel —no raven has fed The wife who has suffered so long for her bread; Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death frost From the lip' of the angel your poverty lost— Then turn in your agony upward to God, And bless v. iie it smites you the chastening rod ; And you’ll find at the end of your life’s little span There’s a w r eleome above for the moneyless man. How it Feels to be Hanged.— Having attempted to hang himself, but having been prematurely cut down, a young gentleman of Paris has survived to give this account of his sensations: “As I kicked away the chair and fell I had the sensation of receiving a blow from a hammer on the top of my head. I did not feel the rope, and the only de fined sensation of weight in my head. My head seemed heavier and bigger than the great belle of Notre Dame. It was night all about me, and then there came a terrible cold in the lower part of my hotly, and then a sharp pain where the rope was tearing my neck, and then— nothing.” A Poor Opinion of Lions. —Dr. Liv ingstone is said to have expressed the utmost contempt for lions. “ You talk about the majesty of the lion,” said he chatting one day at a party in London with Sir Edwin Landseer, “ but you do not know the beast. There is no more majesty about him in the forest than there is about that poodle. It is all poe try. Lions are arrant cowards—cowardly, sneaking beasts. l r ou can hardly tell a lion from a dunkev. When you come upon a lion suddenly he tucks his tail between his legs and bolts. He will spring upon you if he comes upon you unawares and can have time to crouch, but if a man has courage to look a lion in the face, you need not even cock your rifle.” CRAWFORD, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 12, 1875. DOUBLE INCEST. A FATHER'S BRUTAL CRIME. [From the St. Louis Globe]. In the fall of 1870 Mr. Kingsley, then of New York, consulted his wife about moving to Nebraska to secure a cheap home, while a good opportunity present ed itself. This man was poor, but re spected by all who knew him in his na tive town ; and although he toiled early and late, yet fortune did not smile upon him and his, and the consequence was many times his family was allowed to suffer. According to arrangements, Mr. Kingsley disposed of all superflu ous goods, and with his wife and his children started for Nebraska in April, 1871. With only a small purse of about $75 to make the trip, two of the smallest children were sent to an aunt iu Min nesota, while the rest of the family landed in Lincoln in a few days from the start, with the small sum of sixty five cents left them. No doubt many would have become discouraged, and with a sinking heart, given up in de spair. But not so with this family, as Mrs. Kingsley was a woman of indomi table will, and expressing a strong de sire to push forward, the husband and children caught renewed spirit, and for a time the prospects of gaining a home were very bright. How well the plans laid out for securing the end, the sequel of this story will tell. The family remained in Lincoln for six weeks, during which time Kingsley worked around town at anything lie could get to do, while the w r ife and children also did ail in their power to keep the wolf from their door. At the expiration of six weeks an opportunity came to the head of the family to visit Fillmore county, which he gladly avail ed himself of. One bright spring morn ing he bid his family farewell and start ed to look at some land. After arriving at his destination, he was compelled to remain there for a considerable length of time, for he it re membered that the B. and M. was only finished to a short distance beyond Lin coln at that time, and the trip must needs be made by wagon. Pretty soon, probably four weeks, he returned to Lin coln, and, leaving all his children liere, he again made his way back to Fillmore, accompanied by his wife, who at that time was pregnant with child. He could not get back as soon as was ex pected, and in the meantime, the chil dren who were left here became dis couraged, and, supposing the Indians had killed their father and mother, they hired out and worked for their board, until one day their father returned with a big wagon and took them to their sup posed future home. After getting a claim, the next move was to build a house, which they did ; but as there was no lumber-yard short of Lincoln, the idea of furnishing the sod mansion with doors and wrindows was entirely abandoned. The entire family worked hard all that summer, and many times the children and par ents retired to their hay couches with a hunger that is often fqlt in anew coun try. When winter came on a family consultation was held, and it was deci ded that Mr. Kingsley should again come to Lincoln and bring with him the two oldest daughters, one fifteen and the oth er thirteen, in order that they could earn something to support the family. At this time, the neighbors at Grafton, Fillmore county, began to talk among themselves in regard to the changed ap pearance of the eldest girl, whose name is Charlotte, and several times it was whispered to the mother that something was wrong ; but, as the girl had never been allowed to keep company, the mother refused to believe that things were not altogether right, but at the same time a laint suspicion crossed her mind. Who could have been so far gone as to attempt the seduction of an innocent girl, was beyond the conception of the poor mother. But to return to the time when they came to Lincoln : It was in the month of November that Kingsley once more arrived here, but nothing turned up to give him a job, and he was about to again venture back to his rural home, Avhen the demand for hands secured him the lucrative position of wood- chopper at Bellievue. He wrote to his wife, in forming her that he should at once leave to go to work, and hence, she must re turn to take care of her children. Upon arriving here, she at once saw that Char lotte would be confined iu a short time, and tried to prevail upon her to tell who was the cause of it. But all to no purpose, for the girl was very obstinate, and it [ was not until the night she gave birth to a child, that she confessed who was her seducer. Taking the young girl's hand in her own, Mrs. Kingsley knelt down by the bedside, and with the tears streaming down her troubled face, finally extract ed the truth from the sick girl. “Char lotte,” said her mother, “you are very near death. As you hope for heaven, make your poor mother a confidant, and tell who has brought you here.” The answer came slowly ; “Ma, no man has e ver touched me but my own father.” Who can imagine the thoughts of that woman ! Who, indeed, can tell of the pent-up feelings that stirred within her? Who, but a mother, could sympathize with her ? Facing the floor for ten long and dreary hours, this human creature knew not what to do. After calming down somewhat, she went to her nearest neighbor and there poured forth a tale that would curdle the heart’s blood of any sane person. The good woman, with all her sympathies aroused, advised Mrs. Kingsley to return home and com pose herself. Going back to the bedside of the erring one, she asked of her when this had commenced. The poor girl, with a penitent air and in a trembling voice, said : “Mother, the summer be fore we came out here, my father came to me one day, when you were out sew ing, and using all his strength, accom plished the deed before I could resist. He then told me never to relate it to you, as it would set you crazy ; and, through the love I bore you, the truth never came out, although he often repeated his first actions. The last time he misused me was just three days after your child was born.” Before morning dawned Charlotte was a mother, and the babe lived some eight weeks. All this time Kingsley had been writing to his wife, and in every letter an earnest inquiry was made as to Char lotte’s health ; but his wife never gave him a word of satisfaction, which, as a matter of course, left him rather uncer tain as to the result. A few days after the babe was buried he returned to Lin coln, and soon made his way to his mined daughter’s room. His miud must have been somewhat relieved upon learning that all had passed over, but when his wife looked at him, the dirty scoundrel quailed, and, with tears falling fast, he paced the floor, begging his wife not to expose him. No one will blame the poor heart-broken woman for scorn ing the human brute’s pleadings, and no one would suppose for a moment that she would relent. But when her thirteen year-old daughter, Rosa, fKng herself before her mother, and with childish eloquence, begged that pa and ma should not separate, it is no wonder that the loving mother finally consented to remain at home—merely to save her children from a living disgrace, and not to love and cherish the husband who had so mercilessly and outrageously blasted a kind wife and affectionate mother. Kingsley promised that4f he was not exposed, nothing should be left undone to atone for the Avrong he bad committed. His wife told him that the love she on e bore, could never more be bestoAved upon, but would treat him with respect—which she ahvays did. For a time, all the happiness that Avas possible for them to enjoy under such circum stances, came to them, Very soon, however, word came that the homestead Avas not very safe, unless some of the family should immediately move on it. After placing Charlotte in a respectable family, and securing a like situation for Rosa, Mrs. Kingsley took the other two children and departed for the homestead, for the purpose of se curing the crops, which promised to be abundant. It Avas understood that Kingsley was to stay here, and, if possi ble, to make enough money to Avinter the family. To show what a mean spirit this man possesses, we Avill relate a very trifling circumstance : During that time that this wife Avas in attendance at the bed-side of Chailotte, she (Mrs. Kingsley) had, by the assis tance of her boy, who was then ten years old, gathered some 900 pounds of paper rags and shipped them to Omaha. The rags amounted to sl7, and Avhen Mrs. Kingsley left, she enjoined her husband to settle a three dollar debt and imme diately forward the balance to Grafton, Avhich he did. In a few weeks he wrote to his wife, asking for the loan of sl3 to buy provisions to keep him, for fear he would get no work. Upon receipt of this request she mailed the money, but something told her that she must take the letter out of the post-office, which she accordingly did, and instead of the money coming, Rosa was astonished the next day to see her mother at the door. While she was down at Grafton, the lady with whom Rosa was living died, which compelled Rosa to live with her father; and when Mrs. Kingsley made her unex pected appearance she noticed a guilty look come over her daughter’s face. The second day of Mrs. Kingsley’s return to Lincoln, her little baby took sick and died within a Aveek. This was about a year from the time Charlotte had made her confession, audit is beyond the de scription of a human being to relate hoAv the poor sick at-heart mother must have felt when Rosa called her and tearful’v told hoAv her father had brutally forced her and committed a second blasting deed. This Avas in the forenoon, and Avhen her husband came to dinner, Mrs. Kingsley, in a measured and solemn voice, told him that they must separate, and that she would hand him over to re ceive the doom he so richly deserved. Another scene of tears and promises, but all of no avail—the woman had made up her mind ! Noav, then, the following will show what he wanted with the sl3 spoken of above : The little boy (some days before his mother’s re turn), alluded to in this article, happen ed to overhear a plot in which it Avas ar ranged that Kingsley should go to the mountains and there make sffiucient money to pay Rosa’s expenses to the same place. This, however, was knock ed to pieces by the woman’s return in stead of the money. What could the poor Avoman do ? She consulted a lady friend,Avho raised SSO and advised her to go back East to her friends. She Avenfc back East, and during the time she remained there letters passed between her and Rosa, Avho had moved out on the homestead Avith her father. The letters Avere ahvays encouraging on both sides, but about the middle of May, 1874, Rosa suddenly stopped writing, and no A\'ord could be had in regard to her. This naturally made the mother uneasy, and learning through another source that her husband had disposed of the home stead and jumped the country, she work ed for money to bring her back to the scene of desolation. She could not start until about five weeks ago, and in six days more she landed in Lincoln. Mak ing inquiries, she learned that her hus band had decamped, taking Avith him Charlotte and Rosa. She consulted laAvyera in this city, and they advised her to seud postal cards in every direction, asking for imformation of the runaway parties. She did so, and soon an ans Aver came back that the per sons were iu the town of Tiesiding, Wy oming Territory. After a great deal of trouble and anxiety upon the part of Mrs. Kingsley, Marshal Cooper at last started Avith a Avarrant for the arrest of Kingsley and his two daughters. Coop-" er returned yesterday Avith only the man and his oldest daughter. If you, dear reader, could have seen this poor, miser able woman ( Mrs. Kingsley ), as Mar shal Cooper told her that Rosa had a baby but three days old, and that Henry T. Kingsley, this most unnatural parent, was the father of that child, we have no doubt your fingers Avould have involun tarily tightened, as you imagined they were clutching at the throat of this brutal beast in human shape. The pre liminary examination will come off be fore Judge FoxAvorty to-day at 1 oclock. A more saddened commentary on hu man frailty and wickedness was neA r er penned than is afforded by a plain, un varnished recital of this shocking tale of ruin and woe. The hardest heart must melt in sympathy towaads these miserable victims of unhallowed passion, and if there Avas even a case in Avliieh the injunction “Judge not” should be re moved, it is this. After human revenge shall have been satiated, who can picture the terrible and agonizing future of the lives render ed so horribly burdensome? Never again while existence on earth lasts, can one ray of hope or one hour of comfort bless the guilt-weighted souls of those so utterly lost. A curse like this beyond human comprehension in its merciless intensity, and pity would start affright ed if besought to stand between this guilty monster and the doom that he deserves, but connot receive. How to Fix the Clock.— When the clock stops, do not take it to the repair shop till you have tried as follows : Take off the pointers and the face ; take off the pendulum and its wire. Remove the ratchet from the “ tick ” wheel, and the clock will run down with great velocity ; let it go; the increasing speed wears the gum and dust from the pinions—the clock cleans itself. If you have any sperm oil, put the least bit on the axles. Put the machine together, and nine times in ten it will run just as well as if it had been taken to the shop. In fact, this is the way most shopmen clean clocks. If, instead of a pend’dum, the clock has a watch escapement, the latter can be taken out in an instant, without taking the work apart, and the result is I the same. It takes about twenty minutes j to clean a braes clock, and save dollars. VOL I--NO. 23. BODY-SNATCHING IN CHICAGO. The Ghastly and Ghoulish Work of Two Resurrectionists—Terrible Seenea in ThLr Improvised Charnel-House. A horrible and shocking case of body snatching Avas brought to light last night by police officers at the Chicago Avenue Station, and one or two young men who are guilty of the disinterment and trafic in dead bodies was brought to grief by two pistol shots from the weapon of an officer. The details of this fearful crime are sickening in the extreme, and beggars adequate description. A small barn in the North Division has been used as a char nel-house, where bodies have been pack eddnto boxes and barrels and a trafic in human flesh carried on for a period of three months Avitliout interruption, and in the most systematic, bold and se cret manner. Graves in cemeteries have been dug up, coffins opened, bodies drawn from them Avith hooks driven into the faces of the deceased, and the garments of the sacred dead torn from them, and the corpses placed in a Avagon and cover ed up and conveyed from the place of sepulchre to the barn. The facts of this outrage on the living and desecration of the dead, and the captnre and shooting of one of the despoilers, and the terrific struggle and escape of the other, are as foilow's: Three days ago the neighbors in thb vicinity of the channel-house, which is lo ted in an alley, in rear of No. 167 Wells street —a dry goods store kept by Mr. Brunswick—noticed that some parties Avere acting about the barn in a supicious manner, and some of them supposed that they were secreting stolen goods. The men were noticed generally about 8 o’clock in the evening, driving up in a Avagon, lifting something out, put ting it in the barn. On learning of this Captain Guild ordered four of his men ta keep a close watch on the place, and continue it until they were satisfied re garding the business the parties were en gaged in. Two oi the officers kept watch Saturday night, and suav two men drive up in a wagon, remove something in ft mysteriously, and place it in a wagon, but what the something was they were at a loss to discover. Sunday morning, at daybreak, Officer Langen, one of the watches, when all was favorable, took an observation through a small opening in the side of the stable, and saw a sight which startled and sickened him. His astonished gaze met the ghastly fea tures of a corpse, whose glassy eyes seemed to start from their spheres, and caused him to tremble for the nonoe. In three other barrels he could see the bared shoulders of three other bodies, Avhich had been bent and crouched into the narroAv space. On the floor lay the corpse of a Avoman, apparently young and devoid of all clothing, except a pair of Avhite hose. This latter body had the appearance of having been dead for some time. Horror-struck and startled beyond measure, the officer withdrew and repor ted to his brother-officer what he saw, and they reported what they had seen to Captain Gund. The barn Avas watched Sunday night, and no one appeared, but the bodies Avere not disturbed by the policemen. They kneAV that their game Avould appear soon, and they kept a silent watch. Last evening Officers Schaack and Bowen ivere the watchers, and they found a favorable place for obser vation in a barn directly opposite that used at the warehouse for the dead bodies. They had not long to wait before tw# men appeared and carried the bodies to a wagon, when they were charged by the police and one man Avounded and cap-' tured, Avhile the other escaped with two balls through him.
