T. M. PEEPLES, PROPRIETOR ] Vol. I, Harshly Importunate, Gone to liis Death. ’Twas a life insurance agent—one of the modern style, With brassy cheek and fluent tongue and aggravating smile— That persecuted Abner Brown, and eke inflamed his bile. This agent followed Abner like a sleuth.- hound on the scent, And managed to encounter him wherever Abner went; Till Abner fell into a state of chronic discontent. He used to -corner Abner, and hang right on and bore, Until, in desperation, the disgusted Ab ner swore; Then the calmly-smiling agent would Abner bore some more. In vato he strove that agent’s visitaiions to avoid, And he realized that, if he would no longer be annoyed,. That pestilential agent must be speedily destroyed. One day he followed Abner to his place of business, Remarking, “Now, you’d better take a policy, 1 guess;” Then Abner said one profane word, the opposite of “bless.” And held a loaded pistol midst that agent’s bristling hair, And grimly told the agent, if he ever anywhere, Said “policy” to him again, he’d slay him then and there. If that is so,” the agon! said, “perhaps I’d bettor go, But if you will permit me, I would just like to show Our new endowment policy, with rates extremely low.” ilia ill-timed iteration Scaled the zealous agent’s fate, For Abner pulled the trigger and forever stopped his prate, So that he annoyed nobody, subsequently to that date. The jurors by snch agents had frequently boon tried; ITence their verdict was that Abner was completely justified, By “temporary sanity,” in this one’e hom icide. [Ex. For the Gwinnett Herald. •Alcohol—lts Proper swd Im proper uses. By the term alcohol, we would be understood to mean all intoxi cating drinks. We are aware of the fact, that this subject has been much and ably discussed through the columns of the newspapers, before the temper ance societies and from the pulpit, yet we feel that too much cannot be said where so much is at stake; the good of society; the good of country; the happiness of man kind, in time and eternity. Intemperance is sending its thousands to an untimely grave— to an awful perdition, perhaps — every day we live. We write not to condemn alco hol, but only' its improper use. Within itself, it is harmless; is pure —is as pure as any other medicine —and if rightly —and on ly rightly used—would prove a blessing, instead of a curse, to mankind. There are two extremes to this, as well as a great many other questions. There are those who renounce it under all circnmstan ces —who cannot tolerate it, even as a medicine. There would, per haps, be as much reason in re nouncing fire arms —as the use of one may be made as fatal to hap piness and life as the other. Oth ers there are who hold that a man may drink from the intoxicating bowl, when lie pleases, and as much as he likes, with impunity, provided he does not drink to in toxication. We know not where better to seek for truth, than in the golden mean between the two extremes. We hold that its proper use is its medical use ; that taken in any other way than as a medicine, is its improper use. Why 'it Because it is strictly a medicine, intended for the purpose of curing the sick, and that which will cure the sick, will make sick the well. Indeed, any thing taken inwardly, that is not necessary to health, is de structive to it. A substance neg ; ative within itself, as clay or | chglk, cannot be taken habitually, | for any length of time with irnpu ! nity, and even the food we eat, I more than is necessary for health, ! is destructive to it; and if a neg ative substance, and that which is nutritious, is detrimental to health, that which takes effect on the hu man system powerfully, as a medi cine does, snrely is very much so. ! Any intelligent physician will tes i tify to the fact, that no healthy | man can remain so long, who Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, February 14, 1872. takes medicine as ft beverage— especially, a medicine that has the powerful effect on the human sys tem that alcohol has; and any thing we can do to destroy' the heal tli of This Well-Wrought frame of ours, is a base siu against its Creator. There are professors of religion (not Very Zealous ones we suppose) who take strong drink habitually, with the excuse that they can con tiol themselves. ‘‘lt is good," says St. Paul, "neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.” And, again, “If meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no meat while the world Btandeth, lest I make my brother to offend.” To admit moderate drinking is not an injury to themselves, and lienee not a sin within itself, yet their skirts are certainly not clear of the blood of those who are led to the slaughter through their exam ple. But this we do Dot admit. It is an acknowledged fact (as al ready intimated) by the improved medical science of our enlightened day, that it is a positive injury to the human constitution; and we expect to prove it a sin, not only on account of its deleterious ef fect, but also because it is forbid den by the word of God —if not expressly forbidden,[yet in terms so plain that “a wayfaring man, though a fool, cannot eTr therein.” We are taught that we must ‘‘Ab stain from all appearance of evil,” and What wayfaring man who does not know moderate drinking to be, at least, the '“appearance of evil.” Drunkenness is num bered, in the good book, among the basest of evils—the most hid eous of sins. If drunkenness is so great an evil, is not the habitu al use of that which will make drunk, at least, the appearance of eri!; and is it not a sin, within itself, to violate the holy Word of God - ? lienee, moderate drinking, if only the appearance of evil, is a positive sin. Wo expect to prove it to be, however, ltiore than the appearance of evil. We pray, “Lead us not into temptation.” If drunkenness is a positive evil (and no one pretends to deny this) is not moderate drinking leading ourselves into temptation—the temptation of becoming drunkards. Alas! the temptation is so great thousands are unable to resist it; thousands yield to the temptation and end their mad career in the drunkard’s grave. And can we ask our Father, in spirit and in truth, to “Lead us not into temp tation,” and, at the same time, lead ourselves into temptation— the awful temptation of sinking into the lowest, depths of shame and folly? Again, we read, “Thou shalt not kill.” And how? Is the command that we are not to kill in any specified way ? Do we read, “Thou shalt not kill with a knife ? Thou shalt not kill in stantly ?” Nay. But simply, “Thou shalt not kill.” It is just as truly murder to kill by poison as with a knife or any other weap on and it would be just as truly murder to confine a human being and wound him so slightly every day that it would take yeat's to ki'l him, as it would be to do the deed with a single stroke of the knife ; and the latter would be less base ; less cruel ; less offensive in the sight of Ajmignty God. The same may be said of poison. It would be just as truly murder, to kill in any length of time, as in stantly, by poison. The differ ence, as in the other case, the lat ter would be less base ; less cru el ; less sinful in the sight of Al mighty God. And what is more sinful, more criminal in the sight of God, than self-murder. Hence, the tippler (whether his name is inscribed on the church book on earth or not) is not only guilty of leading others to ruin by his ex ample. lie not only violates the Scripture, “Abstain fiom all ap pearance of evil.” He is not only unable to pray the Lord s paryer. But he is guilty of suicide—the author of his own destruction.— And if the crime stopped here —if he was the only sufferer —it would be more tolerable. But, alas ! not so. Helpless women and innocent children—though uot participants in the crime—are sufferers. We have spoken of the projier and improper uses of alcohol, in a general way. We now bring the subject home, and ask the question, “How is alcohol used in our day ; by our people ; in our country ; properly or improperly ? While it gives us pleasure to “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” say it is used properly in one sense ; that it is used properly’ In as much as it is used by the prudent and faithful physician in the cure of diseases, it is painful on the other hand to say, that by the people generally-—especially in some communities —it is used im pioperly to a fearful extent. To give an idea of the extent of its improper use in some commu nities, we will relate a conversa tion that passed between the wri ter and a young man of one of the first families of his county —a religious family. He asked us to drink with him, and on our refusal, remarked : “With one exception, you are the only young man of my ac quaintance who does not drink whisky.” And we fear this is too near the truth. We fear, that in some ot our communities, whisky-drinking has become almost fashionable with our young men —and what young man who does not desire to be fashionable? We fear (hat a large proportion of the young men of our country have become whisky-drinkers, and that the fatal malady is still spreading. What will become of our country in the rising genera tion ? Shall we be governed by companions of dram-drinkers, and patrons of grogshops ? What will become of society, of molali ty and religion ? What will be came of o'Ur earthly sanctuaries ? Shall the house of God go down, and instead thereof, bo erected the still house and the grog shop ? Why is it, that in the face of all the pulpit sermons and temper ance societies ot our enlightened day, this evil is still on the ag gressive? Who is to blame ? The young men? We answer, only partly. They were taught it; for according to the good book, “ Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” They lIuVC been trained up in the way they should not go, and tire natural conse quence is, they follow it. We censure none of teaching their children directly to become drunkards, but Indirectly. For instance, when the tender boy ar rives at the proper age, and is to leave home, and the care and in struction of his parents, for some distant seminary of learning, he is advised to avoid intemperance, perhaps, after this manner: “My son, It is my desire that you never become a drunkard. I would some rather you would not drink at all; but, whatever you do, do not become a drunkard. It will bo a disgrace, to you—a disgrace to your family.” The youth leaves his home with the resolution never to become a drunkard —this ia bcU tted. Far away from home and friends, tvith a cold and heartless world to contend with, he finds himself in bad company —the in toxicating buWl is passed around— at first thought, perhaps, he re fuses, but thinks again. “Father and mother say I must never be come a drunkard —a drunkard I never expect to be; but what do they’ say about drinking ? 1 hey say they had some rather I would not drink at all. From the way they talk, it certainly cannot be harm simply to take a drinkj and I’ve seen father drink, and it has never made him a drunkard.” — Reasoning thus with himself, he takes the fatal step—a step that will, perhaps, end him in the drunkard's grave ; lie has taken the same step that all other drunk ards have taken. It is true, he may not become a drunkard ; but, then again, he may. It is certain he would not, had he never taken the first drink. It is not long un til to refuse a drink from his com rades causes a blush —he should blush to accept it. He soon ac quires a taste for strong drink ; becomes a moderate drinker ; he is insensibly led on from moderate drinking to drunkenness ; and, from drunkenness, lie sinks into the awful disease, delirium tre mens, where ho realizes, to his sorrow, the truth of the scripture, “For, at the last, it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.” From delirium tremens, lie sinks into the drunkard’s grave, when he realizes, to his eternal woe, the truth of another scripture, “No drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heaven and, alas ! the respon sibility, or at least a due propor tion of the responsibility, goes back home to those who taught the boy to become a drunkard his own parents. It is to be lcared that many pa- rents will have to answer, in the last great day, for the horrible deeds committed by the inebriate son. If parents were half so zealette in teaching their children to avoid those evils which are destructive to the life of the soul, as they are those evils which are destructive to the life Of the body, our people would be a better people—an hun dred fold —a thousand fold ; our country would be, comparatively, a paradise on earth. In demonstration of the fact, that parents are more zealous in teaching their children against those evils destructive to the body, than they are those evils which are destructive to the soul, we will make a comparison. Your residence is surrounded by dangers, that may prove fatal to physical life. On one side is the railroad, over which passes, daily, in rapid strides, the great iron horse. In a stone’s-throw, in an other direction, rolls the volumin ous waters of the mighty Niagara, pouring forth in tones of thunder over the stupendous cataract. .J-ust over yonder is situated a dense forest—a swamp inhabited by wild beasts, ravenous wolves, poisonous serpents. Father, moth er, how would you teach that ten der boy, just arriving at the age of susceptibility, with regard to these dangers to physical life? Would you say, “My son, you may play on the banks of the river if you like; you may wade its wa ters —1 care not how far—just so you keep in shallow places. You may venture to the verge of - the cataract, if you will take care to go no farther ?” Would you say to that tender boy, “You may play in those woods ; you may explore it in search of nature’s beauties ; yon may make its bowefy shades a resort from the noon-day sun ; you may rove its pleasant shades as much as you like, just so you avoid (ho wild beasts ; just so yon are not bitten by the serpents ?” Is this the way you Would teach that child ? Far from it ; as far as the cast is from the west. You Would say to that tender boy, “My son, my son, keep away from the mighty falls ; do not venture near, fur it is a dangerous place , for if you were to fall into its waters, you would go over the mighty cataract—bo dashed in pieces ; you would die, my son, and father and mother would see you no more. Keep away from the dan genius falls. Keep away from those woods, my son ; make your play ground in another direction ; there is danger there; It is the borne of wild beasts —of venomous serpents. Many travelers have been known to venture there, never to return again. It is true, a few have returned, but a great many have been devoured by the wild beasts and serpents of that dark swamp. If you go there, you will perish With those that linVo already ventured —be torn in pieces; you will die, my son, and father and mother will see you no more, iu this world.” Y r ou would make 6UCh an im pression on that young ruind that there Would be no danger, lie would fear these evils as death. Now, how do you teach that tender boy, just entering the stage of action ; whose home in this world (I care not what portion of this world) is surrounded by evils that are dangerous to the life of his immortal soul; who is sur rounded by the hungry wolves of perdition, thirsting for the life blood of liis immortality. And, especially, how do you teach him with regard to the dense forest, from whose deep ravines and dark caverns, so few travelers have ever returned ; with regard to that evil that endangers not only the life of the body, but the life of the immortal soul ? I)o you say to that tender boy, “My son, touch not that cup—there is death in that cup. Scores, and hundreds of scores, have already found it a speedy passport to an awful hell. Touch it not. If \on drink of that cup, you will die, my son. It will not only kill your body* blit it will damn your soul in bell forever ?” As in the other case, so in this. He would fear this evil us death. There would be no danger of his ever becoming a drunkard. He would look upon intemperance (as it really is) as a fatal enemy to mortal—to immortal life.

When memory breathes of childhood’s borne, Ami youth’s pulse stirs with joyous thrills, Homesick, I long again to roam As free as then upon the hills. How oft, with childish eagerness, I climbed to gaze, where blue and dim, The distant hills, with mute caress, Seemed meeting the horizon's rim. And, With that hopefulness of youth, Which contact with the world soon chills. Built castles, which I thought, in truth, To seek and find beyond the hills. At last, beyond the bills to dwell, I went; and though with tearful eyes, [ locked jn lingering fond farewell, The fatwc Wore a fairer guise. But in tho life that future brought, I found few joys and much of puin; The idols proved but clay I'd sought ; Nor were my castles on the plain. I learned, with an awakening rude, Life lmd stern lessons to impart ; And, 'midst the busy multitude, Tolled, weary oft and sad of heart. And when life seems of little worth, Worn with its tumult, care and ills, I would look out and down on earth, And breathe the pure air of the hills. But though may never meet my gnzo 'The old familiar hills of yore, Ffl scan, when death dispels the haze, The hills that grace the other shore. For here, along life's valley road, We bear what cross our Father wills; And for the lifting of our load Look upward to the unseen hills. There, with earth’s lessons learned aright* We e'en may find affliction’s rod A staff will prove, in heaven’s light, With which to mount the hills of God. Bkktiia 11. Ellsworth. Itritlul Con pies in Wash iugton. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial is facetious over the bridal couples who flock to the Capitol to enjoy their honeymoons. lie says; There must be some undiscov ered magnet which brings so many happy pairs to Washington. They flourish in such numbers in no other city, hut the secret has not been discovered. You meet them everywhere, and at all hours —no, not at all hours, unless you take your breakfast very late, If you go down to your breakfast at the hotel say half-past ten or eleven, yon will see a perfect school, or flock, or droYc of them. There they sit at the little round tables all over the room, and they look Very pretty—l mean the brides, 1 of course, for the men, great sheep ish fellows, are not worth looking at. There they sit, In tire proper est kind of attitude; they would n>/t have yon fur the world think they were at that very moment the happiest girls on earth. Their dress is of the propereat kind—a subdued or neutral shade, trimmed with velvet and fringe or embroid ery ; A dainty little hat, with a bow of ribbon, a patch of velvet, a plume, a shred of lace, and u bright flower trying to hide among them all, even as she is trying to hide the blushoH that come and go on her round cheeks. The little doves always come to breakfast in their hats, and carry their little coats and muffs and gloves in their little hands. This fn the style, fair girls, if you have any such thing in view. She may go right back to her room and read over the letters he mod to write her all <fuy long, and not go out of the hotel at all ; but it is the style to go down with hat on and all things ready. It is very amusing to watch these people at the hotel. They come to every meal —breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. At breakfast they jook very pretty, at lunch so so, at dinner they ftre resplendent, and at supper pale and tired. Y'ou Bee them at their best at dinner. It is there that they shake out tho wrinkles in their new dresses. Yesterday the pretty bride went to dinner iu black silk and Valenciennes-, to day she wore a light-blue silk, long train, trimmed with point appliipte; tomorrow she will wear ashes of rose silk, with white satin trim ming and fringe ; t'nc day follow ing, if she stays so long, she will wear a very handsome black silk walking suit, and the following morning you will sec her at the early |>reakfa*t with her demure little traveling suit on, for sho iu going in the morning train— going back to begin her future—but whether for good or ill depends largely on herself.

AVhat a Dream Did, Tho Fort Way no Sentinel sober ly’ narrates'thu following (ts a fact: A gentleman of high social po sition, living in this comity, bad a son engaged ns a clerk in a largo mercantile house in Omaha. A few weeks the father received a letter from his son to the effect that he had been fobbed of $5,000 belonging to his employer, while returning from a collecting trip into the country. The father Was naturally troubled by the intelli gence, and when lie retired .to liis room for the night he lay awake f-.r suino time thinking of the unfor tunate occurrence. At la*t ho fell asleep, and. as it seemed to him, lie was sitting by a table in a bed-chamber of Hotel of Oma ha, listening to the conversation of two young men who were re calling the particulars of a rob bery in which they had just been concerned, while they counted over the proceeds ot the same with an exultant air. . Learning the irnniDer of their room, lie descended the wtnifs, consulted the register, fixed their names iu memory, together with the date under which they wore written, and then awoke. He im mediately wrote a letter to his son, requesting him to calf at the —— Hotel, look at the register, and If he found the names of John B. Wilson and James Frank in scribed on its pages under tho date of November, to have the par ties font,.;, arrested and charged with the theft of the $5,000. The son followed the directions, and from a letter received by the fa ther yesterday, we learn that the said John I*. Wilson and James Frank were arrested at the said hotel, that they confessed to the felony, that $4,812 of tlie lost mon ey was discovered, and that Uni offenders had been scut to the pent tenfiary.
