My legs right, bat I don’t believe my back is as limber as it used to be. I got awfnl tired, and tbs plow business seemed to go long so smooth and oasy I ventured to exchange work for a while. I could run round the rows pretty well, but when I come to splitting open the mid dles the plaged thing seemed to get cranky and would ran ont and run in, first on one side and then on the other and the farrows I lelt behind looked like the track of a crazy snake. I used to coaid plow bnt it looks like I have lost the lick. My boys was a lookin at me and smothering their fan, and abont the time I was willin to quit I observed Mrs. Arp and the girls a per- nsin me through the crack of the fence. They was mighty nigh dead from laugh ing, which I dident enjoy, bat the sym- patbizin woman suddenly composed herself and remarked that I was workin’ too hard considerin’ my age ad infirmity. “Yon are all over in a veat of perspiration,’’ said she, “and thought you had a touch of St. Vitae dance, as yon was following that plow. Let the boys do it and come to the house and rest.” But 1 wouldent. I’m not going to get old before she docs—nary time.

Daniel Webster, under political assault and neglect, died of a broken heart at Marsh field. At his nomination for the Presi dency the derisive cry was: “Who is James K. Polk,” although he had been a long while in the councils of the na tion and Speaker of the Honse of Rep resentatives. I tell yon now who he was—the man who added Texas, in respects the richest of all the states in the Union, and did more than any other man in this country to open our way to the possession of everything clear to the Pacific Coast. Yet there were millions of people, who, daring his administration, never mentioned his name without a sneer of contempt.

FRANK A I. LI SON KILLS HIS FAIT1II. WIFE AN 11 HER PARAMOUR AT WOODLAWN. Oct. 26.—Intelligence has just been received hereof a horrible tragedy in Carroll connty, near 'lie Grayson line yesterday. The high social standing of all the parties cerned, tbe intensely sensational roundings of the affair and its deeply tragic termination have caused the wildest excitement in this part of the State, where the actors in the tragedy Allison, a well known merchant and citizen of high standing at Woodlawn, Carroll connty, took in with him as a partner a young man by tbe,name of Hawkes. They kept a flourishing country store, Mr. Allison’s business in other counties frequently took him from his home for several days at a time, during which the store was left in the charge of the young partner, Hawkes, who was unmarried. On the same lot with the store Mr. Allison’s P rivate residence ia situated, and here s lived with his wife and an interest ing family. Some weeks ago Mr. Allison was startled at hearing that his J.

At first he treated the suggestion with indignation bat certain circumstances at length forced him to be suspicions. Finally, goaded to desperation, he de termined to test the matter, and see hether or not his wife was faithless him. Accordingly, Saturday night be kissed bis wife good-bye and told her that he would be absent nntil Tuesday nigbt. He then rode off. but only a short distance iq the woods, where he tied his horse and remained \ He had armed himself with freshly loaded and primed, with a terri ble purpose of revenge if his road fears ire realized. Abont eleven o’clock he stole back the house. His wife was not there. He then with his night-key softly opened the store door. In the rear of the building was the bed- Hawkes, his partner. He saw through light shining in the roon softly to the door burst open. Here he found his wife and Hawkes together, and witbont saying word and unheeded the startled wo- tan’i cries of the confnsed exclama- ons of the gnilty man with her, he drew the revolver and began firing.

Turning from the dead body of the roan who had wronged him, he sent two shots from the smoking weapon into his wife’s breast, mortally wounding her. When there were no more halls to fire he turn ed from the ghastly scene, and, leaving the two bodies where they fell, he went ont and surrendered himself. The affair caused the wildest excite ment. Mr. Allison is .beyond middle agp. and stands high in the community. Presidential excitement, and this ; and next Sabbath morning, as a iristian patriot, I have some earnest things to say. I have no partisan let ter on either hand or either foot. The instructions come neither from Chicago nor Cincinnati, bnt from the throne of God. It is fortunate that the ministry this country are not tempted by gov ernmental patronage. There are lands where the State does everything for the church. St. Peter’s at ltome has cost the Government $200,000,000. Xerxes took from the temple of Belas $100,- 000,000 of gold. England pays $75,000 a year to her Archbishop of Canter bury and $770,000 in all to her bishops, while 18,000 of her ministers are paid by tbe Government. Our ministers have no such temptation to surrender judgment to the dictation of the state, but still clergymen have pow erful pressure to make them think this ay or that, preach this way or that, d vote this way or that. Yet the minister of religion mast shake off the prejudices of the hour and rise above the instructions both of the congrega tion and of the printing press, amt take message from the Lord, There is one word in my text that stirs the blood of every genuine man, and that word is liberty. “Ye have been called to liberty.” Paul that under Nero, the tyrant hated of all ages; the Emperor, who, incognito, roamed the streets at night for the pleasure of robbing passengers, bedaub- made ns pick ont all the big ones said they looked mighty pretty, but she diden’t want em and it was best send em to town and sell cents a bushel—for, says she, “they may not keep very well, and they too big to cook, bnt will sell all better for their size. Smart woman lie is, and I always take her motherly Well, I scoured up my hands and left the qneen and the little stars for a season, and am now in the bright and happy town of Americas, enjoying my self in mingling with her people communing with old friends. I’m prancing around among the girls like a yonng mnle in a barley patch, as Ji Harris would say, but I did go ont the fair ground and it did my old ey< good to look at the galaxy of lovely d beautiful women. It does seem to t that the further away I get from home and the longer I stay away the irettier the women get. I met lidding lerc—yonr Redding of the agricultural bureau—and bo told me confidently that tbe girls about here were prettier and more substantial than any he had ever persned. He said they were in better health and condition and carried more natural flesh and less cotton than Kras usual and customary. He said he nronldent mention such a thing abont Atlanta for prudential reasons but that it was so. Their fair down here honest success. Everybody seemed happy and everybody knew everybody and there were no pickpockets, and we had some good little races and we bail niggers running blindfolded behind wheelbarrows and we had a greased pole, and we had a re-nnion of Colonel Cntts’ celebrated artillery company- and the old colonel looks as yonng and frisky as a widower who is a noticing aronnd, and his soldier boys had badges on and it seemed to me there was more ’em than I ever saw in the army, iqnircd if all of em that wore t badges had font, bled and died at t cannon’s month, and a friend told l actly, bnt there was a sign by which you conld tell em, though I ne learned what it was. I met my schoolmate Jack Brown, down here, love Jack; I don’t care anything abont his politics. He was the friend of iny youth and I loved him then, and he is the friend of my declining years and I love him still. ' I have no dis position to let a little matter of politics divorce me from a friend—r know what perils are before they come I would want no purer friend for myself of my wife or my_ children than Jack Brown would be if it within his power. Americas is a pros perous town and has some most de lightful suburbs. In fact, it hai great ileal of snbnrbs ami plenty beautiful lawns and groves, and most every family has a wide lot for the children to build upon when they get married. They have a nice young Library and a hall that is paid for and last night it was packed solid with a pleasant and refined audience, to whom I had the honor of addressing a few broken remarks abont Dixie. General Phil Cook is jolly and hopefnl. Like Aleck Stephens, I think he is likely to die in the harness, for thia people love him, and it delights them to do him Honor. In haste, Bill Aep. rty, epljr n i of tfc&fie* y, forgive and forget, and pray and forgive each other. .Surely fifty years of quarrels are enough; had blood enough; national debt enough graves enough; widowhood enough; or- >ogh;agony and woe enongh Southwest Corner Public Square, Corner Jackson and Lamar Streets, hope we are having the last political platform in which there shall be any mention of North or Sonth. If we are to lie in perpetual wrangle and from age 1 think it would have been bet ter to have let the Sooth go in 1861. Yonr lathers and brothers who imper iled and lost their lives in that great contest fonght to keep the South, not that we might be in more convenient antagonism, bnt with the hope that i the future there might he a unity and good understanding. Look ont how any of you defeat the object for which that great holocaust was enacted. Let the sections visit each other, a the Brigadier Generals of the Sonth have during the last month stood in Cooper*. Institute New York so before new glass front, with plenty of light; the inside all re painted,anil the election has passed let the Briga dier Generals of the North stand in the great halls of Charleston and New Or leans. Let Northern men cicapo tho wintry blasts by a trip to the orange groves of Florida, and Georgians the ing Christians with tar and pitch and setting them on fire to light np his parks kicking his own wife till she died, and having his own mother assassinated, and finally committing suicide. No wonder that word, liberty, under such a bad man, cost Paul his head. Bnt while tho Emperor destroyed the man who dared to nse so insurrectionary a word, the word itself was indestructi ble, and has been the most arousing and olutionary wotd ever written. It t into the tnagna charts and made England free; into tbe Declaration of Independence and started this nation on its high career; into the speech of Garibaldi and the proclamation of Vic- Eipanuel, and Italy shook off the t of the grave; into France and o' threw the Napoleonic dynasty; und hundred despotic thrones and will keep them rocking till they fall flat. It took hold of the printing press and broke its shackles and made it the mightiest agency for intelligence and evangeliza tion that the world has ever known. That world will keep on its rounds till in all the earth there shall not lie t tyrant’s sceptre, or a slave’s chain, oi an oppressed workman, or a blighted intellect. Liberty for the State! Lilicrty for the church! Liberty for the printing press! Liberty for the pulpits! Liberty for tbe platform! Liberty for all conti nents, for all island^, for all zones, foi all ages! “Brethren, ye have been call ed to liberty.” Yet, my text lias not only a driving- wheel but a brake, not only an inspira tion but a limitation. “Brethren, ye e been called into liberty, only use liberty for an occasion to the flesh.” Liberty, but not wild license. Liberty, it uot moral recklessness. First, I charge yon, so J«r as I ara your teacher and pastor, to have noth ing to do in this Presidential with slanderous implication of public men. Take up tbe newspaper files of tbe last eighty years and see that have taken places in history, honorable and radiant. But we are still at tbe old business of base travesty. We have dictionaries ont hunting np more s of political damnation. Two are set np for the candidacy, both eminent—one in the field, the other in the couucils of the nation—and both, believe, good men. Yet, what do I ear in regard to them? Of one I ara told he unjustly and gladly hung Mrs. Surratt; that be is ignorant of public affairs; that, crossing the field of battle once with an oath, he neglected wound ed Boldiers; that he was engaged in an oil swindle; that he is weak and ambi tions for the Presidency, and will do anything unprincipled to gain it; has a bee in his bonnet, and so on, and so on, and so on. I am told of the other that he took counsel fee which he ought not to have received; that ho took stock in Credit Mobilier knowing it to be a na tional swindle; and on doorsteps aud the side of houses I see written in chalk the amount he is said to have by the knavery to would like to gather all the first-clasi of anathema into one grave and monument above it 1 would put the epitaph: “Here rest the family of Re publican lies.

Falsehoods rebound and hurt those who utter them more than those against whom they are ottered. If 1 had a scale delicate enongh to weigh defamation I would tell yon in one minute who will be the next President of the United States. I wonld pat all the scurrility against Hancock on one side of the scale and all the scurrility against Garfield on the other side of the scale, and the man most abased would be the next President. It seemt that as soon as a man is put up fui office—city, State or national—he ii be made tbe target. The fact that is up seems to be proof positive that ought to be brought down, private life as well as his public under serntiny, and all the electric lights turned on, and if there can b anything that can be twisted into seem ing wrong, multitudes of people rejoic ■r it as though they had discovered v star or found a new invention. And here let me say some of the newspaper presses of the country arc mistaking wind license for liberty. There are newspapers whose entire bus- is calumny. Their columns arc staffed with it. Their editorial reek with it. Their reportorial corps charged to bring home nothing bnt putrefaction. They will pay more for one quill of filth than for a hogshead of healthy product. They turn the end of the city sewers into their editorial inkstand. Thy breakfast, dine and sup decency. They roll in it as swine b mire. Unclean literary wretches, tho quill they write with was plucked neither from the goose nor the eagle, but from the tnrkey buzzard. Gouls, Goals! The alleviating fact in regard upon to utter widespread malediction of dignitaries. All those who have passed into tbe gallery ational sainthood were called in their day to go chin deep through the slash of lampoonery and pasquinade ala* assail them, and there was no exception. Thomai Paine wrote and published George Washington,the first President, and said: “Treacherous in private friendship and a hyjiocrite in public lifo, the world will 1x5 puzzled t cide whether yon are an apostate imposter, whether.yon abandoned good principles or whether yon never had any.” .John Quincy Adams consoled himself with tbe thought that he had no more misrepresentation and scandal to go through with than his father, John Adams, and declares, daring his Presidential campaign, that there must be some people who give their entire time to making lies about him. March 4, 1801, the day of Thomas Jefferson’s inauguration as President, the Sentinel, of Boston, had this deriding epitaph: “Monumental inscription—Yesterday expired, deeply regretted by millions of graceful Americans and by all good men, the Federal Administration of the Government of the United States, an mated by a Washington, an Adams, Hamilton, Knox, Pickering, Wolcott, MacHenry, Marshall, Stoddard and Dexter; age twelve years.
