The Volunteer Counsel.
A THRILLING STORY.
John Taylor was licenced when a
youth of twenty-two, to practice at
the liar. lie was poor, but well edu
cated, and possessed extraordinary
genius. lie married a beauty who
afterward deserted him for another.
On the oth April, 1840, the court
house in Clarksville, Texas, was
crowded to overflowing. An exciting
case was about to be tried. George
Hopkins, a wealthy planter had offer
ed a gross insult to Mary Ellison, the
young and beautiful wife of bis over
seer. The husband threatened to
chastise him for the outrage, when
Hopkins went to Ellison’s house and
shot him in his own door. The mur
derer was bailed to answer the charge.
This occurence produced great ex
citement, and Hopkins, in order to
turn the tide of popular indignation
had circulated reports which would
operate against her character, and she
had sued him for slander. Roth suits
were pending—for murder and slan
der.
The interest became deeper when it
was known that Pike and Asltly, of
Arkansas, and TANARUS, Prentiss of New
Orleans, by enormous fees, had been
retained to defend Hopkins.
Hopkins was acquitted. The Tex
as lawyers were overwhelmed by
their opponents. It was a fight of
dwarf against giant.
The slander case was for the 9th,
and the throng of spectators grew in
number as well as excitement; pub
lie opinion was setting for Hopkins—
his money had procured witnesscss
who served his powerful advocates.
When the slander cause was called,
Mary Ellison was left without an at
torney —all had withdrawn.
‘Have you no counsel?’ inquired
Judge Mills, looking kindly at the
prisoner.
‘No, sir, they have all deserted me,
and I am to poor to cm ploy any more,’
replied the beautiful Alary, bursting
into tears.
Mu such ease, will not some chival
rous number of the profession volun
teer V said the Judge, glancing around
the bar.
The thirty lawyers were silent.
‘I will vour honor,’ said a voice
from tlie thickest part of the crowd,
behind the bar.
At the sound, of voice, many
sWted —it was unhealthy, sweet and
mournful.
The first sensation was cllangcd hdo
laughter, when a tall, gaunt, apectral
figure elbowed his way through the
crowd, and placed himself within the
bar. His clothes looked so shabby
that the court hesitated to let the case
proceed through his management.
‘lias your name been entered on
the rolls of the State V demanded the
Judge.
‘lt is immaterial, ’ answered she
stranger, his thin, bloodless lips curl
ing up with a sneer. ‘ Here is my li
cense from the highest tribunal in
America!’ as lie handed the Judge a
bro#d parchment. The trial went on.
He suffered the witnesses to tel*
their own story, and lie allowed the
defense to lead oil. Ashly spoke first,
followed by Tika and Frentiss, The
latter brought down the house in
cheers, in which the jury joined.
It was now the stranger’s turn, he
rises—-before the bar, not behind it—
and so near the wondering jury that
he might touch the foreman with his
long, bony finger. lie proceeded to
tear to pieces the argument of Aslily,
■ which melted away at his touch like
frost before a sunbeam—every one
looked surprised. Anon he came to
the dazzling wit of the poet lawyer,
Pike. Then the curl of his lip grew
sharper, his smooth face began to kin
dle, and his eyes to open, dim and
dreary no longer, but vivid as light
ning, red as fire-globes, and glaring as
twin meteors. The whole soul was in
the eye; the full heart streamed out of
bis free. Then without bestowing an
allusion to Prentiss, lie turned sboit
round upon the perjured witnesses of
Hopkins, tore their testimony into
shreds, and hurled into theirfaces such
terrible invectives that all trembled
like aspens, and two of them lied from
the court house The excitement of
the crowd was becoming tremendous.
Their united souls seemed to hang up
on the burning tongue of the stranger
—he inspired them witli the power of
Ids malignant passns —he seemed to
have stolen nature’s long hidden secret
of attraction. But the greatest tri
umpli was to come.
His eye begun to glance at the as
sassin Hopkins, as his lean taper fin
gers assumed the same direction. He
hemmed the wretch witli a wall of
strong evidence and impregnable ar
gument, cutting off all hope of escape.
He dug beneath the murderer’s feet
ditches of dilemma, and held the slan
derer up to the scorn an contempt of

the populace. Having thus girt him
about with a circle of fire, he strip!
himself to the work of massacre.
Oh! then ft was a vision both glori
ous and dreadful to behold the orator.
Ilis voice became as impetuous as the
motion of an oak in a hurricane. His
voice became a trumpet filled with
wild whirlpools, deafening the ear
with crashes of power, and yet inter
mingled all the while with a sweet un
dersong of the softest cadence. Ilis
forehead glowed like a heated furnace,
his countenance was haggard like that
of a maniac-, aud’ever and anon he ftun«-
his long bony arms on high as if grasp
ing after thunderbolts.
lie drew a picture of murder in
such colors that in comparison hell it
self might be considered beautiful.
He painted the slanderer so black that
the sun seemed dark at noonday,
when shining on such an accursed
monster, and then fixing both por
traits on the sinking Hopkins, fasten
ed them there forever. The agitation
of the audience nearly amounted to
madness.
All at once the speaker descended
from the perilous height. His voice
wailed out for the murdered dead
and living— the beautiful Mary more
beautiful every moment, as her tears
flowed faster—till men wept and sob
bed like children.
He closed with strong exhortation
to the jury, and through them to the
bystanders; lie advised the panel, af
ter they should bring in a verdict for
the plaintiff, not to offer violence to
the defendant, however richly he
might deserve; in other words ‘not to
lynch the villian, but leave his punish
meat with God.’ This was the most
artful trick of all, and the be&t calcula
ted to insure vengeance.
The jury returned a verdict of fifty
thousand dollars; and the night after
wards llopkins was taken out of bed
and beaten almost to death. As the
court adjourned the stranger said:
‘John Taylor will preach here this
evening at early candle light.’
He did preach and the house was
crowded. I have listened to Clay,
Webster and C&lhemw-to Dwight,
Bascom ai\d Vbechcr, but never heard
anything in the form of sublime words
even remotely approximating to the
eloquence of John Taylor, massive as
a mountain, and wildly rushing as a
cataract of fire.
A Model Farm.
A letter writer lias the following
concerning Col Lee Jordan’s planta
tions in Southwest Georgia, which are
superintended by Alia Lockett, him
self a wealthy man :
Mr. Lockett employs three hundred
and fifty men, including mechanics
and other attaches; works two him
dred and forty-eight Horses and mules,
and. cultivates thirt-five acres in cot
ton and corn. Besides these princi
pal crops he raises potatoes and vege
tables for the entire force. This im
mense plantation is divided into set
tlements, on each of which are employ
ed from twenty to sixty colored labor
ers under the immediate superintend
ence of a white man. These laborers
are all hired at standing wages, and
paid off at the end of every three
months.
Mr. Lockett has established a free
school, and sent to Oberlin, Ohio,
and secured the services of two com
petent colored teachers. The colored
.i--
people have also a church, which was
erected free of cost by the philanthrop
ic gentlemen. With these surround
ings we infer they must be happy, for
Mr. Lockett has the same force he had
at the close of the war, not a single
one having left his employment. His
average crop is three thousand bales,
but owing to the heavy rains of last
fall his crop was cut short one-lialf.
We expect to visit his place at some
future time and make a detailed re
port, and, if possible, procure cuts of
his residence and other buildings on
his plantations.
Hot Bread.— One of the most in
jurious dietetic habits of Americans is
that of eating fresh, hot bread, cake,
and biscuit. The Prussian Govern
ment compels bakers to keep their
bread at least one day before selling.
If Americans would follow their ex
ample, there would be fewer dyspep
tics than at present.
There is not one dyspeptic German
where there are a dozen dyspeptic
Americans. This, however, is but one
of many causes for this marked differ
ence. The only fresh, hot bread that
is wholly unobjectionable, is the un
leavened bread, crackers, or gems.

Stick to One Thing.
“ Unstable as water thou shall not
excel," is the language of the Bible.
W 1 loever experts to succeed in any
undertaking, must enter into it with a
hearty and earnest will to do his best.
When a trade or profession is chosen,
obstacles, be they large or small, must
not be allowed to stand iu the way of
mastering that trade or profession.
However much we may depreciate
the old time custom of indenturing ap
prentices, the system in its practical
results operated almost always for the
lasting good of the apprentice. Gen
erally it insured to lum a good trade
and a wholesome discipline that fitted
him for success in business.
At the present time, very many
young men undertake to acquire a
trade, and after a brief trial abandon
it, because there are unpleasant duties
to he performed, and obstacles to be
overcome. They consider themselves
accountable to no one, and go and
come at the bidding of caprice, or an
unsettled, uneasy mind. The result
of this is to send out into the world
young men who have not half learned
their trades, of unstable character, who
*
drift from pillar to post, and who suc
ceed in nothing but strolling along
the highways of life, melancholy
wrecks of men.
Wo would earnestly entreat every
young man, after lie has chosen his
vocation, to stick to it; don’t leave it
because hard blows are to he struck or
disagreeable work performed. The
men who have worked their way up to
weath and usefulness do not belong to
the shiftless and unstable class, but
may he reckoned among those who
took off their coats, rolled up their
sleeves, conquered their prejudices
against labor, and manfully bore the
heat and burden of the day.
Whether upon the old, worn-out
farm where our fathers toiled, diligent
ly striving to bring back the soil to
productiveness; in the machine shop
or factory, or in the thousand other
business places that invite honest toil
and skill, let the motto ever be: Per
severance and industry. The baby
training of the nursery was good in its
place, but it wont answer all the de
mands of an active life.
This is not- a baby world. Wo must
expect to he jostled and knocked
about in the stern conflict, and get run
over, if we are not on the lookout and
prepared to meet the duties of life
with a purpose not to shirk them, but
to fulfill them.
A young man with a good trade or
honorable profession, as he goes forth
into the world with his mind made up
to stick to itis trade or profession, is
not obliged to ask for many favors.
He will hugh his way to success, while
the unstable and shiftless will grow
tired, despair and fail. —* Catholic
Standard.
Cotton.
The receipts at the ports last week
40,000 bales—36.ooo bales less than
last year. And 5 ; 000 bales less than
two years since. The receipts at the
interior towns \vere 7,000 bales—6,ooo
less than last year, and same figures
as two years ago.
It is likely the receipts will be 35,
000 bales this week, compared with
68,000 last year, and 42,000 the year
before. And receipts at interior
towns indicate 5>,G00 bales this week,
compared with 12,000 bales last year,
and 8,000 the year before.
The present course of receipts, is
about one half of last year, when the
receipts at the ports were 666,000
bales softer this time until September
Ist.
For the information of some of our
readers we will state that what are
called the interior towns are seven in
number and are the principal interior
cotton depots in Georgia, Alabama
Tennessee —Augusta, Columbus, Ma
con, Montgomery, Selma, Memphis
and Nashville. The receipts at Mem
phis are usually about one half of the
whole.
The very brisk market in New
York and Liverpool this week is on
account of the heavy cold rains in the
South last week, and not, as some per
sons suppose, on account of decreased
receipts. As the price in New York
is now over one cent per pound above
a parity with Liverpool, it is likely
New York will fall half a cent, or Liv
erpool rise onefourth of a penny soon.
W e had two warm spring rains
this week, and fanners will have to
work early and late this mouth. The
cotton planting season begins in ten
days, and most of the crop will be
planted this month. Warm rains and
plena ty oi fertilizers will make cotton
grow rapidly if kept clean of weeds.
The long continued cold and wet last
month has ma le farmers gloomy; but
warn;, light rains this month, and a
dry May will restore confidence t j ev
ery one. The God of Nature has al
ways blessed the industrious man and
wiiljiot foacake him now.
Road Laws Epitomised.
Nothing so ay ell indicates the thrift
1 prosperity, and public spirit of a com
munity, as to see their market roads
well worked and in good order. It
saves time, the wear and tear of teams
and wagons, and isconsequently*ready
money in hand. The Ordinary, there
fore, of Carroll county, has had pre
pared and published, upon the recom
mendation of the road commissioners,
an epitome of the road laws, to which
the attention of the Commissioners,

IT IS TIIEIR DUTY.
1. "Within fifteen days, to appoint

The will of A Drunkard.
I die a wretched sinner and I leave
the world a worthless reputation, a
wicked example; a memory that is on
ly fit to perish.
I leave my parents sorrow and bit
terness of soul all their lives.
I leave to my brothers and sisters
shame and grief, and a reproach of
their acquaintances. •
I leave to my wife a widowed and
broken heart, ain't a life of lonely
struggling with want and suffering.
I leave to my children a tainted
name, a ruined position, a pitiful igno
rance and mortifying recollection ot a
father, who, by his life, disgraced hu
inanity, and at his premature*death
joined the great company of those who
are never to enter the Kingdom of
God.
Idle Daughters. —lt is a most
painful spectacle in families where the
mother is the drudge, to see the
daughters elegantly dressed, reclining
at their ease, with their drawing, their
music, their fancy work and their
reading; beguiling themselves for
hours, days and weeks, and never
dreaming of their responsibilities, but
a( a necessary consequence of neglect
of duty, growing weary of their use
less life, laying hold of every newly
invented stimulant to amuse *■ their
drooping energies, and blaming fate
when they dare not blame their God
for having placed them where they
arc. These individuals will often tell
you, with an air of compassion—for
who can believe it real?—that poor,
dear mamma is working herself to
death. Yet no sooner do you pro
pose that they should assist her, than
they declare she is quite in her de
ment—in short, that die would never
be happy if she only had halt as much
to do.
