EASTER.
I)o saints keep holy day in heavenly
places ?
Does the old joy shine new in angel faces?
Are hymns still sung the night when
Christ was born,
And anthems on the Resurrection Morn?
Because our little year of earth is run,
Do they make record there beyoud the
sun?
And in their homes of light so far away
Mark with us the sweet coming of this day"?
What is their Raster? For they have no
graves,
No shadow holy sunrise craves—
Deep in the heart of noontide marvellous
Whose breaking glory reaches down to us.
flow did the Lord beep Eastei? With
His own!
Back to meet Mary where she grieved
alone,
With face and mein all tenderly the same,
Uulo the very sepulcher He came.
Ah! the dear message that He gave her
then
Said for the sake of all bruised hearts of
men!
—“Go, tell those friends who Lave be
lieved on me.
I go before them into Galilee!”
‘ Into the life so poor and hard and plain.
That for a while they must take up again.
My presence passes! Where their feet
toil slow.
Mine, shining swift with love, still fore
most go!
“Say, Mary, I will meet them. By the
way,
To walk a little with them; where they
stay,
To bring my peace. Watch! For ye do
not know
The day, the hour, when I may find you
so!” —
And I do think, as He came back to her,
'l’he many mansions may be nil astir
With tender steps that hasten in the wnv.
Seeking their own upon this Easter Day.
Farting the veil that hideth them about,
I think they do come, softly, wistful out
From homes of heaven that only seem so
far,
And walk in gardens where the new
tombs are!

PEN AND INK SKETCHES.
Moses Liddell.
Mosc3 Liddell was a stern man
—as stern and inflexible in bis
principles as Andrew Jackson, and
as unyielding.
Although he was thus stern, and
apparently harsh, yet he was kind
in his nature and devoted to his
friends.
In the days of his early man
hood, it was said that he was no
ted lor his bold wickedness, his
turbulent disposition, and his
readiness to engage in broils
fights.
But the grace of God upon his
heart changed all these; from the
harsh and wicked man, lie became,
thereby, a pious, zealous disciple
of his Heavenly Master !
' In the year 1822 lie embraced
religion, in Franklin county, Geor
gia—where lie then lived —and
joined a Presbyterian church in
South Carolina, near the border of
the State.
He was born in old Pendleton,
S. C., October 13, 178 G—moved to
Franklin in 1814, and then to
Gwinnett in the latter part of 1825.
On the 11th of February, 1826,
“He presented to the session of
Fairview church a certificate ot
the good standing of himself and
his wile, Polly Liddell, expressing
a desire to unite with this church,
and they were accordingly re
ceived.” Upon the same day, he
was chosen a Ruling Elder of that
church and set apart to the func
tions of his office on the 22nd day
of April thereafter, which office he
continued to fill, I believe, until
his removal from the county, in
1857.
Mr. Liddell was noted for his
zeal and strict notions of church
duties ! “He remembered the Sab
bath day, and kept it holy,” in
form and spirit, and was faithful
in his attentions and observance
of all the ordinances of his church
and delighted in them.
I am permitted to make an ex
i tract from a private letter to the
writer, from Mr.Liddell’s old friend
and brother, A. R. S., refering to
hia great fortitude and chrisliau
resignation under afflictions :
“Mr. Liddell was, for a long
time, afflicted with ‘white swelling’
on his knee, resulting from a kick
of a horse; and amputation be
-1 came necessary to save his life.
Dr. Banks attended as surgeon.
Mr. Liddell’s friends gathered iu
to sympathize with him in this
fearful and painful crisis, lie
asked them oue and all to pray for
Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, April 10, 1872.
I him in hi* extremity, and seemed
i prepared for the event, whatever
j might he the issue. The operu-
I tion was performed with great
skill and success, and he lived
! many years after to enjoy his at
tendance on the sanctuary!"
It may he noted as, not only re
markable, but perhaps unprece
dented, that although he was a
large man, and had heavy mus
cles, such was his great fortitude
and Christian resignation to his
fate, and his great powers of cn
durance, that during the exceed
ingly painful operation he made
no exclamations of pain, except
when the surgeon's saw touched
the marrow of the thigh-bone, and
then only one “grunt,” although
no chloroform or other opeates
were used in the case, as 1 am in
formed.
One more extract from the same
letter:
“lie scrupulously performed all
his religious duties and seemed
intent that every Sabbath should
be to him a ‘Sabbath day's journey
toward heaven.’ One circum
stance impresses me fmcibiy.—
It was the practice of elders
and members of Fair view church
to meet on the Sabbath (when
they had no preaching) for prayer
and exhortation. As Mr. L.ddcll
was some distance from the
post-office, his letters sometimes
remained on hand, and 1 thought
it would do him a favor to take
them to the church on Sabbath.
I gave him the letters before
service commenced. He would
hardly look at the superscription,
but put them in his pocket,
remarking that he would read
them to-morrow, and then, as if
he wished to forget the subject
as soon as possible, and not think
Ills own thoughts, he would open
his hymn book, and say to his
bretheren, ‘Let us sing, Oh ! for a
closer wa k with God.’ This was
his favorite hymn. Of course 1
did not trouble him afterwards
with letters on Sunday.”
In 182 G he organized a Sabbath
school at Fairview—the tirst one
that was established in the county
—with himself chosen as superin
tendent, and George M. Gresham
and wi e, Dr. Alexander and wife,
Or. Sam. Means, Win. Montgome
ry, David L. Ward law, John Mills
and others as ieachcrs. Mr. Saye
was appointed moderator on the
outside, and he would go around
amongst tlie “i utsiders” in his
soft, quiet way, and keep them in
order.
So strict was the discipline of
the school that when any of the
class wanted water, the entile
class, accompanied by its teach
er, would repair to the spring to
gether.
One of the pupils at that school
—a little boy then—an old man
now —in repairing with his class
to the spring, headed by David
Ward Taw, their teacher, commenc
ed to whistle as they passed along.
His teacher checked him, and very
kindly reminded him, “that every
thing must be quiet and orderly
at this school.”
I give this incident to show how
strict and proper every thing was
conducted in the first Sabbath
school organized in our old county,
with Mr. Liddell as superinten
dent. A Miss Cooper, whose
mother was an Abbott, was a
member of the school and walked
| six miles to attend it. She would
often recite a hundred versos of
the Bible she had committed to
memory during the preceding
week!
Several who were members of
that school, went out “with beau
teous feet,” and were “watchmen
on the wails of Zion” afterwards.
Mr. Liddell removed to Decatur
in 1857, and for a time before his
death, became imbecile in mind,
and died the 10th of May, 1858,
and his ashes now slumber in the
grave yard of his old church at
Fairview ! He, and most ol those
i who used to meet and worship
with him at that old church, are
gone to meet their reward in heav
en. A few—o\ily a few of them —
Wilson, Montgomery, Smith, Mills
and Strickland, old, shriveled, and
I grav, yet survive; halting with
lee Li footsteps, and rapidly up
j proaching the “dark river,” over
i which they, too, must soon pass to
| meet their old brethren ou\tlre
other side ! God, bless these old
i men in their old age, and may
| their example be followed by tboso
who come after them.
Amongs the many good traits
of character which Mr, Liddell
i posscsed, noire were more beauti
l ful and lovely than his teulerucss
“COMING EVENTS CAST TIIEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
and affection for the female mem
bers of his household.
Civilization has done a great
deal for woman, and religion has
done much more! In the dark
ages, and even now with savage
tribes and with barbarians, the
women are made slaves to their
lords and masters,and are regarded
as no better than menials and
beasts of burden !
That same disposition of hea
thendom, that regards the female
sex as serfs, still prevails to con
siderable extent even in this day
and time and in this enlightened
age!
Frail, weak woman, that should
be regarded as the “tender jewels”
of the household, are often de
prived of all privileges and still
made “beasts of burden" by their
heartless and debased fathers and
husbands ! This is seen almost
every day !
A man that thus acts with the
“wife of his bosom,” and the
daughters which God has given
him to love and cherish, is a bar
barian, and a wretch that should
be kicked out of the community,
and spurned by all decent men !
Many a good woman has been
driven to desperation and dishon
or by the unkindness and brutality
of him ►lie must call “father;” and
many driven to form an alliance
for life with one she knows is far
beneath her, and thus become
miserable for life to escape from
the tyranny of that father !
If it was my province to pass
sentence upon such a father , 1
would sentence him to the galling
“chain and ball” for life, and then
consign him to the deepest—dark
est — hottest, and most dolorous
regions in perdition, forever !
Such was not my old friend Mo
ses Liddell; and lam rejoiced to
record the fact.
1 have thus performed a melan
choly duty in trying to chronicle
and perpetuate, briefly, the virtues
and good deeds of my eld friend,
who was one of the most Godly
men I ever knew'.
Blessed be the memory of the
“old fathers,” and may wo never
forget their good examples and
Christian teachings while life shall
last. W.

GOOD-BY.
liY MATTIE WINOFIELD TORRKY.
Good-by! I take your hand in mine,
Oh ! friend and comrade, tried and true;
And in my being's inmost shrine,
I make a sacred place for you.
And what, though many a weary mile.
May lie between our sundered ways?
I keep the glory of thy smile
Through all the intervening days.
The memory of tliy love I keep,
Nor can its sweetness fade or die ;
Its blessedness shall o’er the deep .
Attend me ever, far or nigh.
Good-by ! Now lay your hand in mine ;
I shall be faithful, never fear ;
Love needs no token, word, or sign,
Only a look, and all is clear.
Good-by ! And, oh ! be true to me,
And love me,sweet, with all thy heart;
F’or though I go, I leave with tliec,
Of all I am, the better part.
Good-by ! The shores are fading fast!
The sails are loose, the vessel free ;
The old familiar scenes fly past —
Friend, lover, home, adieu to thee !

What Became oe the Confede

from Col K. J. Moses, clearing up
the mystery that has long hung
around the disposition of the gold
belonging to tlie Confederacy is
published iu several of our ex
changes. A small portion of it,
it appears, was converted into ra
tions for the returning soldiers,
and no doubt faithfully, while tlie
bulk of it was turned over to the
Federal Quarter Master at Augus
ta for a similar appropriation, but
whether it was so appropriated
may be an interesting subject of
inquiry at the hands of the author
ities at Washington.— Watchman.
I Will Not.— “l will not,” said
a little hoy, stoutly, as I passed
along. The tone of the voice
struck me.
“What won’t you do ?” I stopped
and asked.
“That boy wants me to 'make
believe’ something to my mother,
I won’t,” lie answered in the
same st >ut toue. That is one of
the right places to say “I won’t ”
I hope he will stick to it. Will

Cannibalism in Canada.
Ottawa, March 21.
The most astonishing stories of
cannibalism at the headwaters of
the Ottawa where related to me this
afternoon, by a man whose respecta
bility and veracity are undoubted.
This winter Mr. Wiight, a lum
berman, living near Ottawa, had a
lumber shanty on one of the tributa
ries of the Obittcebee Lake, within
a day’s travel of Fort Timiscomanqtie,
one of the Hudson Bay trailing posts,
and while on a visit to his limits,
from which ho has returned, lie as
certained the following facts. A camp
of Obitteebee Indians was established
about ten miles from Mr. Wright’s
shanty early in the winter, and the
squaw, with her children—the oldest
a boy about fourteen years of age—
came occasionally to the shanty to
tradeoff fur with the foreman for
grease and tlour. Provisions were
scarce at the shanty, as supplies had
to be brought such a long distance,
and lie hail to forbid the Indians
from coming around the place. As
the winter advanced the snow became
deep, the game was so scarce that
the Indian camp was sometimes
without food for two days at a time.
Hares, that had been plentiful other
years, had been decimated by u
disease that bail attacked them
during the summer, and the Indians
were reduced to a state of starvation.
Parents Eating Their Children.
The owner of the w igwam returned
one evening in January, alter an un
successful hunt of two days, and
found that one of his children bail
been killed by the squaw, and the
family were then satisfying their hun
ger with part of the flesh, which had
been half cooked in a kettle. The
old Indian, without asking any ques
lions, joined with the rest in the
horrid repast, and satisfied his appe
tite also. The family lived for three
days ou the body of the child, and,
when it was totally consumed, the
Indian again started out to hunt,
hut was unsuccessful. On returning
to camp lie drove his tomahawk
through the skull of of another child
himself, and, without ceremony the
squaw proceeded to boil a sufficient
quantity of the tleoli for a meal.
The Wife Sacrificed to Hunger.
'Jlie weather grew colder, with
more snow, and It was imposihle for
the Indian to" go on nnolhor hunt,
lie singed the hairoffsome dry beaver
skins, and they managed to keep
alive until this supply failed. Then,
•no day, when savage with hunger
without warning, he tomahawked the
the squaw, and lie and the hoy fed
off the carcass for several days. In
the meantime the weather cleared up,
and the Indian started in the direc
tion of a moose park, several miles
from camp, to try and secure some
game; but the enow, though deep*
was light, and he could hot get with
in rifle-shot of the deer.
A Terrible Alternative.
After a three day’s hunt ho re
turned to the camp, and the boy,
who saw that his father had no pro
visions with him, at once made up
his mind that he or the old man had
to die. Without waiting to discuss
the question with his parent ho tent
a title bullet through his heart, and
and before the blood had timo to
cool lie was assuaging his terrible
hunger with pieces of his father’s
flesh. He remained in the camp ns
long as the provision lasted, and
then made his way to tho shanty
where he related, in a mixture of
bioken French and ludian, the facts
wnich we have given above. The
men could not believe that horrible
tale until the young Indian had con
fessed it to the priost, who resided
at a station seveial miles down the
tiver.
lie also confessed that on one
other occasion his sister, a year youn
ger than himself, had been killed
and eaten two years previous when
they had not any game for several
days.
The Only Survivor of a Family.
A half-breed fur trader named
Simpson, who resides at F’ort Tim
iscomanqiie, often asserted that on
one occasion, while buying fur at an
Indian camp, he asked for something
to eat, and was told to help himself
from an iron pot that was on the
tire, lie stirred up the mess which
it contained, and nearly fainted with
horror when lie fished up a human
hand from the bottom.
An Indian, with an unpronounce
able name, who camps by himself
near the head of the Obitteebee Lake,
is known and spoken ot as the only
surviving member of a family ot
cannibals, and he is shunned and;
feared by other members of the tribe. \

The Übitteebee Indians arc do -'
[s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
scribed as being tall and stoutly built
with a very forbidding cast of eouatc
nnee, the squaws being positively,
repulsive in their appearance. They
are lazy r.nil filthy in their habits,
make no attempt at tilling the soil,
and live entirely by hunting and
trapping. They sometimes engage
as axemen in the shanties, but sel
doni remain long, as they will not
work constantly, and it is as hard to
feed one of them as it is to keep six
white men. The squaws and children
are clothed with a sort of blanket
which they make from hare skins,
cut into strips, plaited and stitched
together in tiio required slihjkj.
Their dwellings in winter are coiim
posed of poles, which are stacked
in the form of a tent, and covered
with birch hark and moss, a fire
being built inside in the centre,
from which the smoke finds its
escape through a hole in the top of
the wigwam. As long as game is
plentiful, the Indians remain in the
same camp, hut if a moose is killed
at any considerable distance, the
camp is moved to that vicinity, and
the owners remain there as long ns
they can find enough to sat.
The above is the substance of what
Mr. NVrigbt has heard from his
men and from Hudson’s Bay fur
traders wl.o have been dealing with
this extraordinary tribe of Indians,
and as inereditahle as the statement
appears to ho, lie s qs there aro doz
ens of shantvmen at the head waters
of the Ottawa • who nro willing
to testify to the truth of it. The
evploiatory survey of the route
of the proposed Canada Facific
railroad will pass through the
section of country occupied by
the Ohitteebeo’s, and in another year
or probably in a few months some
thing more will bo known of the
« .
manner and customs ol these extra
ordinary Indians.— Sun.

A Horrible Story.
An occurrence which makes the
very blood freeze within the veins
of the reader, came to light last
Monday, over in Clifton, Calumet
comity, Wis. Thomas Downing,
who for some time has lived in a
small shanty hack from any road
over in that locality, and quarried
stone for a livelihood, was taken
violently sick at his home, on the
22ud of last January, with bilious
lover, and was confined to his lied
from that time until Monday, Mar.
4. During the long weary days
of his illness no one called ; no one
to lend a helping hand in adminis
tering to the wants of the sufferer,
and all because the location of his
resilience was so secluded that he
was not missed front his daily
>round of toil. Last Monday, how
ever, came the good Samaritan.
A gentleman who had sold Mr.
Downing a quantity of butter last
fall called at his residence on
Monday to make a collection on
the same. Upon approaching the
house there were no visible sounds
of life, hut from the interior cina-
I nated pitiful wails that were most
harrowing to the soul. Au on
trance was forced, and the suffer
ing - man found on his bod with his
boots and clothes all on, in which
condition lie had passed the length
of time above stated, without fire,
and for the last fifteen days with
out food or water. In this dying
condition he was lifted from his
cot, and conveyed to a house of a
! near neighbor, medical aid at once
| summoned, and, at this writing, lie
is pronounced in a fair way to re
cover.
This certainly is a most singular
case, which can better be imag
ined than described, and if Thomas
is permitted by the gods to rally
from his affliction he will be justi-
I tied »i*advocating, to the best of
| his ability, the blessedness of the
I credit system.

At a rnarraigo lately in Maine, the
bride’s voice faltered, and she paused
in the midst of the impressive cere
inony. Her little niece, a bright
little three years’ old, thinking the
naughty minister was compelling
poor aunty to say something,
stamped her little foot aud exclaimed
in a lone of authority, “Aunty, dou l
do tliay it.”
An old minister, the other day,
asked a woman what could be done
to induce her husband to attend
cliuich. “I don’t konw,” she replied,
“unless you were to put a pipe and
h jug of whiskey in the pew.” j

The Year of Wonderr.
A Category of Ancient Predictions
to be Fulfilled in 1872.
A correspoudenl of the Now York
World writes as follows;
V. Lon, two months ago, M. Ville
nossant, editor of the Paris Figaro
called on the Comte de Cham bold at
tho Schweitzer Hos, Lucerne, with
the view of inducing that personage,
to make a fusion with the Orlean
s's, he was answered by a magnifi
cent wave of the hand and a rovaHy
omphalic denial. “Mine is the while
(lag forever, and tho lilies wi I bloom
immortal on my escutcheon,” proudly
exclaimed tho last of the Bourbon*.
Really M. Yillenessanl ought to have
known better than to expose him
self to such a rebuff. For once the
Parisian harbor was not so shrewd
as his namesake of Seville. He
must have forgotten that Henri,
Comte de Ghamliord, is the nntn of
destiny; that to him all the prophe
cies of the hist 500 years point as
the great king, and toat lie cannot
c.ompromi-e his cause by allying it
iu any way with the revolution. It
must have escaped him, more especial
ly. that this year is the holy year of
fulfil intent, and that, at length, after
forty yc's of weary waiting, the
grat dson of Charles X is to l-e re
wauled for his fidelily to principle
by entering ou the enjoyment of his
crow n Yes, tho year 1872 is to he
the glorious year of the modern world.
