The “King of the Crackers" Gives
Soma Reminiscences of His Eady
Days.
John Adkins, was a gentleman in
every respect, and a man of great
influence and talent, and very much
thought of, besides a minister and
poet; but unfortunately would
drink a little too much. He had a
very nice wife, a woman of
good education and standing, very
kind and generous; but one day Ad
kins had been to a gathering and
had drank too much, and returned
home, and at the gate two of his
little girls ran and met him, (as the
other two were smaller,) and ex
pected their father as usual would
take them up and kiss them, and
take them in his arms and carry
them back, as he frequently did it;
but the devil, I suppose, possessed
him to act rough and rude with
them, and left the children disap
pointed and crying, and walked to
the door and met his wife, who,
hearing the childien cry, came to
the door saying: “John, what will
become of our children if their'
father treats them so?'’This brought
out the devil fully, and he became
enraged; and there was a billet of
wood at hand, and he picked it up
and struck her on the bead. She
bled, groaned and died; all from
whiskey.
He was tried and condemned to
die by being hung; and while under
the gallows be spoke freely and to
the point, for he was.a good orator;
and he sung this while very many
shed tcars-
Simw'rs, poor .-inners, take warning by
me;
The 1 trails of transgression behold j ou
now see.
My soul is tormented, my body con
fined;
Aly friends and dear children left
weeping behind.
Much intoxication my ruin has been;
My dearest companion I’ve barbar
ously slain.
In yonder cold graveyard her body
does lie;
Whilst I am condemned and shortly
must die.
A whole life of sorrow cun never
atone;
For tliis cruel murder my hands they
have done.
lam justly condemned, it is right I
should die;
Therefore let all drunkards take warn
ing by me.
A solemn death warning for drunkards
I have,
While this trail body lies cold in the
grave:
Remember John Adkins, bis death,
and reform,
Lest justice overtake you, and ven
geance comes on.
Farewell my, dear children, wherever
you be;
Tho’ quite young and dear unto me:
No father to shield you from hunger
and cold.
My poor little orphans are cast on the
world.
No mother to teach you, no father to
guide.
Though your tender affect ion* throng
N • "sin’s rapid lidt;
I leave you exposed in nature's wide
field,
To all the sad dangers of this wicked
world.
When sorrows surround you and sick
ncss comes on,
You will cry for your mother, but
alas! she is gone:
Your father in anger sit nek heron
the bead;
She bled, groaned and., langui-hcd,
and alas! she is dead.
When soirow surrounds yon, my eyes
overflow;
Theiefore, my dear children, I bid
you adieu ;
I hope my kind neighbors your guar
dians will bp,
And [leaven, kind Heaven, will save
you from woe.
When sorrow surrounds you my
troubles increase;
This world can’t receive me por grant
me relief.
T here is none but my saviour, whose
mercies are free;
Can pardon a sinner, a rebel like me.
My soul to His mercies I hurnciy
resign.
With, saints and fWOvt angels I hope
there to join;
To tell of his mercies his wisdom and
love,
Who pardons poor sinners and crowns
them above.
After this man was hung, it
seemed to place the drunkard in
open view with his companion,whis
ky, and had a great tendency to
stop so much drinking for a while.
Not long after this 1 heard J.
1 ticket, a Baptist minister, preach
from a text; that was, as long as
you kept the strong man- out of
your house your goods wee safe;
and described the drunkard, and
made him rafe until he invited the
strong man in his house, and the
strong man he put do vn as whisky;
and inoffensive in its proper place’
but out of it it was a robber a
sneak, a broiler, and a blood-tliirs
ty deceiver, and was amongst the
strongest things on earth, for it
would ruin man or beast out of
their proper senses. 1 paid a good
deal (if attention to him, as he fre
quently alluded to the rope as the
last end of drunkenness.
In those days almost every man
kept liquor in his house from year
to year, as it was a common habit
to invite your friend to drink and
be social, and was only worth 50 to
cents a gallon.
1 kept this idea of the strong
man in my head, and conceded 1
would give it trial on beasts, or
anything that I could get it down;
so one day myself and a few friends
ware in the Suwannee river swim
ming; the river was low, and the
water clear; and we found an
alligator five or six feet long; and
we concluded to catch him and give
him some of the strong man. J.
Basden got him first, and of course
we all assisted him; and after get
ting him out on the sand bar we
poured down about as much liquor
as we thought he could stand, and
turned him loose; and he made for
the water; but he did not stay long
before our he came; and if ever
Jona s fish tried to throw up, he
tried, and rolled about on the sand.
\V e threw him back, but he came
out as fast as he could. I soon saw
the power of the strong man in the
’gator and it made a different thing
of him, as he quit his own clement.
At first he was very snappish, but
soon became sick and helpless.
Not long after this I was left at
home to keep the house, while my
father and mother went to church,
(some seven or eight miles, for in
tho.-e days churches and preachers
were scattering in the territory.)
We had a half grown pet bear and
a lot of young pigs, and a fine lot
of chickens; so I thought now was
my time to carry out my test on
whiskev.
Me always had plenty of liquor
as d was a household dweller.
1 soon studio 1 up a plan to dose
the three characters. I sweetened
a lot of milk very sweet with hon
ey, and gave it to Guffey. At fit st
lie did not seem to like it; and after
drinking a litle he left it; soon Mr.
hog got to it and began in earnest
to drink; Mr. bear could not stand
it, so drives hog away, and began
drinking more freely; he soon
began to feel it and such rolhn and
playing I never saw; and occasional
ly he would go back and try more;
but as S' on as his funny feelings
were over he become very savage,
and wanted to tear up things, so
that I had to climb a sapling for
safety. Before that he was always
gentle and mild, bat now he was
dangerous, but I soon saw him stag
gering and weakening, and I was
glad of if, for if the old folks had
come home then Coffee would have
gone for them; so 1 became very
uneasy, as I thought there miirht
be a disappointment; so it made me
uneasy; but my bear was soon over
come by the strong man; and Mr.
hog had drank up all I lie sweet
ened milk and wag'squealing for
more; so as so >n as I.got down I
fixed him more; and of all the
drunken sights 1 ever saw Mr. hog
showed, for it seemed he did not
kyow when he had enough; he got
so drunk he would wallow, spew
and root over in it, until it was a
disgusting sight to see how bad off
and nasty he was. I soon saw Mr
hog was badly out of his clement,
and I tried to coax him to eat corn,
a thing 1 never saw him refuse; but
he did not nave any appetite; so I
left bear and hog, and concluded to
finish my practice on the feathered
tribe. 1 was a litHe bothered at
first how to give if, as I wanted
them to drink it of their own free
wi l !, giving them a fair, free will
chance. After studying a little I
got a bright milk pan and poured a
loLof corn in it and called the
chickens up, and they soon went
for the corn. I went and poured
out about a quart of liquor: I believe
it was gin or rum, as it was very
clear, and I poured it in pan, and
then poured corn in th? pan with
the liquor, and called up the feath
ered tribe, and they pitched in the
liquor after the corm I saw few
did not like it at first,' ami I only
gave them corn enough to see the
effect. I waited a bit to sue effects;
and I soon saw they became very
merry, and even the hens tried to
crow', so I conclude I'to thribble
the dose, and I gave them plenty,
and before they got too drunk I
neve r was so amused in my life to
see the hens crowing, pitch 111 fol

a fight with the rooster, striking at
caca other and missing the lick,
sometimes live or six inches, and
pitching over on their heads, get
ting up and hitting at the first chick
en to come in reach; and continue
until they became so drunk they
would fall about and lie down and
look as sick as they could be, and
three of them died.
1 went back tolook for Mr. bear;
he was yet asleep, and so was hog;
and 1 began to think of what I had
done; perhaps the liquor would
kill the pile; and I knew I would stop
the growth of a two year-old hick
ory if the old folks came home;
but I saw Mr. bear move and
stretch, and I went to him and call
ed him, and he seemed to know me,
but looked very queer, or ashamed,
a! ld hojj so 1 gave him a bucket of
water, and he drank as bear never
drank before; and soon was able to
G a gger around; about that time
pig began to move about, and gave
him some water, and he began to
get up, but to my surprise he went
to the trough for more, and begged
and squealed as though he must
have it. I filled it with water, but
no go, he wanted honey and liquor.
1 soon saw that most of the chick
ens would be all right, and I began
to feel Casy. I had done a good
Sunday’s work. Putting these
things together, the hideous looks
of a buno* negro, and Adkins killing
so good a woman, and old John’s
sermon about the strong man,
liquor, and my practice on the
'gator, bear, hog and chickens, for
fear I would be delivered into
the power of the strong man, I then
and there resolved, never to
call on him, or allow him take pos
session of me nor friends, if I could
help it. 1 have seen and known
of a good deal of cruel treatment
in families, and the wealthy
brought to need, want and ruin.
So 1 would say to enemies and
friends, not to let the strong man
take possession of you, for health,
life, limb and property suffers, as
I know that out of 42 of my
friends that were about my age,
and raised up in Florida at the same
time, there are about 30 that
liquor has ruined and caused their
death, and 1 do believe I can date
my success to sobriety.

Rapid Transit.
Uncle Mose owns several shans
ties in Austin, which he rents out
but one of the tenants is rather
slow in coming up with the rent,
so old Mose had to make him a
pastoral visit. Just as he was

Mose having failed to collect the
rent met Jim Webster.
“Jim,” said the old man, “which

THE SAILOR’S BRIDE.
A STRANGE BUT TRUE STORY*.
, Many decades ago a vessel from
Boston arrived at a dock in London.
Among the bands .on board was
one named Tudor, a steady, well
looking young man, who acted as
a sailor. A ery early* one morning
a young beautiful and decently
dressed women came tripping down
to the vessel and inquired of Tudor
for the captain. She was told he
was not risen, but she insisted on
seeing him without delay. Tudor
called him up, and she addressed
him with:
“Good morning, captain! 1 have
called to see if you will marry
me.”
“Marry you?"—believing her to
be a suspicious character—“leave
my vessel instantly, if you know*
what is for your good!” She next
went to the mate and received a
similar answer; she then went to
whercTudor was, being engaged
in handling ship tacks, and put the
same question to him. “With all
my heart,” answered Tudor, in a
jocular manner. “Then,” said she,
“come along with me.” Tudor left
his work and followed her. By the
time the principal shops were op
ened the lady entered a barber’s
shop followed by Tudor, She or
dered a knight of the razor tef'clip
his beard and hair, both of which
he stood in need. She paid the bills
and entered a hat store. She re
quested the best of beavers in the
store, and told Tudor to select one,
and he did so, the price being paid
by th? lady. Tudor threw his old
tarpaulin aside. They next visited
a shoe store, and selected a pair of
boots,the lady also paying for them.
Tudor, by this time, was puzzled
to“devise the object tiie lady had in
view.He solicited an explanation,
but she told him to be silent. She led
the way into a clothing store. Here
Tudor was told to select the best
suit of Clothes in the store. - The
man of the tar bedauded pants and
checkered shirt was in a few* min
utes metamorphosed into as fine a
gentleman as walks the streets, the
bill as before being paid by the la
dy. Tudor’s amazement was now
complete. He again and again
earnestly insisted on an explana
tion; the only answer he received
was: “Follow me and.be not afraid;
all ■will be explained to your satis
faction.” He therefore revolved
to ask no more questions. Next
she conducted him into a raagis
trate’s'oftice and politely requested
the minister of the law to unite
her and her compani m in matri
mony. This was rather a damper
to Tudor, but he yielded. The
ceremony over, the couple were
pronounced man and wife. With
out uttering a word or exchanging
a kiss, Tudor and his wife left the
office, not, however, until she paid
the magistrate, his fee. The cou
ple, walked in silence, Tudor hard
ly knowing what he was doing or
what he had done. Turning the
corner, lie saw a splendid house,
to which the wife directed her steps,
mid into which they entered, pass
ing into a room that was furnished
in a magnificent style. She told
him to sit down and make him
self contented while she went into
another room. The first one who
addressed her was her uncle, who
asked how* she escaped from her
room and where she had been. Her
only answer was: “Thou fiend in
human shape; I allow* you just one
hour to remove your effects from
this house. You have long de
prived me of my property, and
meant to through life; but you are
frustrated. lam mistress of my
own house, Irm married, and inv
husband is here!'
We must leave the newly mar
ried couple for the purpose of giv
ing the history of Mrs. Tudor, bhe
was the only child of a wealthy
gentleman. Mr. A , his
daughter's name being Eliza. He
had been at great expense in her
education, she being the only ob
ject of his care, his wife dying
when she was quite young. A
short time before his death he
made a will by which his brother
was to have possession of all his
property until his daughter was
married, when it was to be given
up to her husband, but if she died
without marrying, the property
was to go to her- uncle and his fam
ily. After the death of Mr. A,
his brother removed into his house
and Eliza boarded in his family.
: She soon discovered that her uncle
did not intend she should ever mar
ry. He shut her up in one of the
1 centre rooms in the third story and
refused her associates by telling
them when they called that she was
gone on a journey. The unfortu
! nate girl was thus shut out from
the world for three years. Her
scanty breakfast happened ona
to be carried to her
morning by her old servant Juan.
Seeing the face of her old friend
I and servant, Eliza burst into tears.
: Juan well understood the mean
ing.
“Hush, Eliza? Some of your old
servants have long been planning
means for your escape.”
“What?” exclaimed Eliza, “is it
possible shat lam to be delivered
from this vile place?’’
It is unnecessary to detail all the
; minntia of the escape. Suffice it
to say that on the morning of the
I fourth day after the interview she
made her escape. This was about
(daylight. She immediately bent
her steps to the wharf where the
j Boston vessel lay.
I The amazement of Tudor and
■ transport of his wife at the sudden
change of fortune may possibly !
bo conceived but cannot be ex
pressed.
One pleasant morning some days !
after the marriage the crew of the
Boston vessel’s attention was drawn
to a splendid carriage approaching
the wharf. The driver lowered the
steps and a gentleman and lady finly 1
cressed alighted. The gentleman i
asked the captain what port he was
from, and many other questions—
all the time avoiding his scrutiny;
at last, turning to the captain and
calling him by name, he said:
“Captain, before leaving your ves
sel, permit me to make you ac
quainted with Mrs. Tudor.” The
captain and those about him had
not recognized him to be their old
friend and shipmate Tudor, whom
they supposed some fatal accident
had befallen. You may judge of
the congratulations that followed.
The captain regretted the harsh
judgement he had at first passed
upon the young lady, but unlike
the mate, being a married mar, he
was spared the added mortification
of the latter that he had spurned
even to consider so fortunate an
offer of marriage.
This remarkable marriage, the
bride being snatched from prison
walls, as it were, and the
groom called from the hard
and humble lot of a com
mon sailor both brought suddenly
and unexpectedly to positions of
freedom and affluence—has hardly
a parallel in all history. The union
thus formed proved to be a .very
happy one. The large fortune that
then fell under the active manages
menc of Frederick Tudor was wise
Ip handled and largely increased.—
In due time Mr. and Mrs. Tudor
transferred their residence to Bos
ton.
With shrewd foresight, Mr. Tu
dor entered largely into the ice
business, being the first person to
make shipments of ice by sea. His
venture was made 111 1805, when
he sailed himself with a cargo of
130 tons, in his own brig to Mar
tini pie, West Indies. In 1815 Mr.
Tudor obtained the monopoly of
the Havana ice business, and im
portant privileges from the Cuban
government. In 1817 he introduc
ed the business in Charleston S. C,
the next year in Savannah, and in
1820 into New Orleans. In May,
1833 he sent his first cargo of ice
to the East Indies, which was de
livered at Calcutta in the autumn
of that year. Os the 180 tons,
nearly one half was wasted in the
voyage and in going up the Ganges.
The ice was sold immediately, at
no more than half the cost of that
prepared by the natives. In 1834
the first cargo of ice was shipped
to Brazil by Mr. Tudor, and until
183 Ghe had a monopoly of the
shipment of ice,‘but it finally be
came so large and profitable that
others entered ?into the business
from various ports.
Mr. Tudor’s foresight secured to
Boston the cheap position of the
Calcutta trade, and gave her ships
cargoes for Southern ports, thus re
ducing the costs of freighting
sontliern products to the North.—
The extensive and valuable Tudor
estates in Boston and vicinity,
where representatives of the family
reside, are well known. Tudors
have always bean noted for public
upirit, intelligence and refinement,
and it was a frreak of good luck
for more than two that brought
about the establishment of the fam
ily in America —Boston Common
wealth.

Improving Good Impulses,
j A lady, whose life was much
given to doing good, prayc«l earn
estly one day before going out that
she might be guided to some Chris
tian service. As she stood ou her
stoop, pulling on her gloves, a tall,
feeble looking youth passed along,
j lie was carrying a large can, so
heavy that he seemed to feel the
weight very much. The lady's im
mediate impulse was to speak to
that boy. The next thought was.
How queer and foolish it would be
j to do such a thing, and what would
the boy think if a stiauger should
; speak to him While she was lies
{ itating the youth had passed along.
I But recovering her first impulse
she walked after him, still hesitat
ing what to do. At length she de
termined that the opportunity must
not escape. She went up to him,
and said, “Well, young man, you
have a heavy load, and you don't
look very strong, arc }on?" He
replied that he had been sick. The
lady said, “I have a class of boys m
the Sunday-school, and I am much
interested in boys of your age.—
Where du you go to Sunday-School?”
lie said he had not been anywhere
since his father died, and that was a
boutthrec years ago. He had two sis
tors and two brothers, and none of
them went to any school or church
The lady proposed calling at the
boy s home. The boy's face was
instantly flushed with wondering
joy. His address was taken. On
the afternoon of the day, the lady
called on the boy's mother. The
woman was delighted to be called
upon, and she gave this account of
what had happened to her in the
morning: “Jimmy came running
home all out of breath, and said:
‘Ma, you better fix up, for a big
lady is going to call here pretty
soon. 1 don't know who she is,
for I never set eyes on her before,
But she came up to me and spoke
pleasant and kind as if I Lad been
a rich gentleman’s Son, and it is the
first time anything ever happened
te me like it; and, ma, I was so ex
cited, and my heart went thump,
thump until it came up in my
throat, and I thought I was going
to bust! So I just set down my can
and there I stood as weak as a cat,
and just looked and looked after
her till she was out of sight. 1 tell
you, ma, I am afraid something aw
fnl is going to happen— you bet
ter get ready for it.’ ”
Out of this came a home cheered
by the feet of humanity—Chris
tian words where for years they
had not been beard; new* hopes
kindled in desolate hearts; new
courage to struggle on in life; five
new members of the Sunday-school
and, in short, a grand result out of
merely acting upon a good im
pulse.
These impulses are good angels
around us, whispering invitations
to Christ like acts. Life is full of
them. They are the seed corn of
such things as the Judge will men
tion to those on lu's right hand.—
These impulses, acted on, will find
daily opportunities. The world is
full of pale faced Jioys ard heart
crushed mothers. Our streets, the
mere commonplaces of life, every
foot of earth where humanity trav
els, all arc heaven’s invitations and
opportunities to do lowly things
which heaven will commend—all
arc chances to give a cup of cold
water which Christ will remember
and reward. Shall we not act on
our good impulse?—Presbyterian.
From the Dissecting. Room
1 haze taken Swift’s Specific for
blood poison contracted at a medi
cal college at a dissection, while I
was a medical student. I am grate
ful to say that it gave me a speedy
and thorough cure after my parents
had spent hundreds of dollars for
treatment. Aly arm was swollen
to twice its usual sige, and as noth
ing helped me I was despairing of
ever being cured. But hearing of
the S. S. S., I bought a bottle lit
tle thinking I would derive any
benefit from it. I began taking it
regularly, and soon the swelling
began to go down and the arm
ceased to pain me. I continued its
use, and after taking eight bottles
was thoroughly cuied.
