How it 48 Got Up---Tom Corwin ‘and Judge
i 4 Chase.
From the Cincinnati: Enquirer, ‘Sept, 21st,
This mode of political instruction is of
late date, having grown up in'the South
west within the E’st half century. Tt s
now spread over-the entire country, and
affords one of thie liveliest features of ‘a
canvass. .
A native-born American thinks aloud
tk 2 moment he finds his legs and can
stand alone. More’s the pity. We run.
to talk, and being withott inspiration
and without study, talk is neither pleas
ant nor profound. The larger amount
of stump oratory is made up of newspa
per articles, and there is a fearful same
ness in them, Since the general intro
duction of short-hand reporting, we have
columns upon columns from the stump
that has already appeared in the journ
ale. The editors, therefore, inspire the
orators, but it is a poor sort of inspira
tion at best. The American world lacks
time for thought, More’s the pity.
The prince of stumpers was the late
Tom Corwin. Never profound, be was
always original persuasive. No man
probably ever lived who ‘had such a
sympathetic control of his audience. A
superb actor, he never seemed to be act
ing, and carvied his crowd from laugh
ter to tears, or from tears to laughter,
with an ease really wonderful. His
pathos was genuine, and his humor real
bumor. It was good humor ; there was
not a particle of malice in it. His op
ponents laughed, and the victim himself
when held up to ridicule, was forced to
enjoy the fan.
Poor Corwin! [Tn lived to learn that
the man who amuses is the man to be
sadly underrated. “Quit that,” he said
to a young friend once; ‘‘you must not
make them laugh. If you want to suc
ceed, you must be as solemn as an ass.
The world confounds the satirists of
senius with the clown, and looks down
both alike. Be solemmn—solemn as an
ass—and you’ll be respected living, and
mourned when dead. All the great
monuments are erected to solemn asses.”
It was a sad commentary on his own
| fe. Corwin, as we have said, had no
bitterness in his nature. The nearest
approach to ugly sarcasm we ever knew
was in his retort to Salmon P. Chase.—
'he contest for Governor in this State,
botween Chaseand Medill was exceed
ing close, and the southern counties
went largely for Medill. Mr. Chase,
jumping to the conclusion that his eppo
nent was elected, broke out in great bit
terness on the old Whigs for deserting
‘him. Mr. K. P. Norton, always about
'when eminent men appeared, was ex
ceedingly shocked at this irreverent
in-eat:nvm of Whigs, and so expressed
himself to Mr. Corwin
¢+Qh, never mind that, Norton,” said
the great mmorist. *“Chase was drurk.
ile came round all right so soon as we
got his bottle from him.”
Poor Norton, who never had a joke in
him, and could not get one in, save
through a surgical operation, took this
as & fact, and so reported. In time, it
came to Governor Chase’s ears, and talk
ing with Corwin, he said, laughingly—
I didn’t mind your telling poor Nor
ton of my inebriated condition, but you
did makea remark, about that time, that
in choosing between me and Medill, you
had to select between a skunk and a rat
tlesnake.” :
“Ah! Chase,” responded Corwin,
with a humorous twinkle of his eye, ‘‘the
first, to Norton, was the best excuse I
could make for you, and the second was
the best I could make for myself.”
But we are getting away from the
stump. The first preparation the young
beginner makes is to secure a scrap-book
and paste in it certain articles from the
press. These are the documents that
are read, from time to time, with great
emphasis. He invariably begins his
speech by avowing that the election
then coming on is one of vital impor
tance. In his estimation it is the most
important election ever held. Then he
eulogizes the ballot and the intelligence
and virtue of the American people. He
seeks to convey the impression that the
American peeple are the greatest, best
and bravest people in the world, and the
ballot is the shest anchor. This intro
duces the Ship of State. No stump
speech is perfect without the Ship of
State and that statesman who at the
right moment takes the rudder. The
winds blow, the waves roll, and the
breakers are ahead ! Then at the right
moment the great man appears.
One accustomed to this sort of thing
can make affidavit that he can tell in ad
vance the line of argument, the illustra
tions, quotations and anecdotes. How
audiences manage to stand this sort of
thing, again and again, bothers the un-l
dérstanding:— - 3
MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1868.-
TWENTY YBARS OF VICB.
Many yeare ago a&. celebrated Italian
artist was walking along the streets of
his native city, perplexed and despond
ing in consequence of some irritating
circumstances of misfortune, when he
met a little boy of such surprising beau
ty that he forgot his trouble and gloom‘
in looking upon the almost angelic face
before him.
“That face I must have,” said the
artist, ““for my studio. Will you come
to my room and sit for a picture, my
little man 7 ' 4
The little boy was glad to go and see
pictures and pencils andcurious things
in the artist’s room, and he was still
more pleased when he saw what seemed
to be another bay looking just like him
self, smiling from the artist’s canvass,
The artist took a great deal of pleas
ure in -looking at the sweet, innocent
face. When he was troubled. or irri
taied, or perplexed, he lifted his eyes to
that lovely image on the wall, and its
beautiful, hopeful features and express
ion calmed his heart and made him hap
py again. Many a visitor to this studio
wished to. purchase that lovely face;
but though poor, and often in want of
money to buy food and clothes, he would
not sell his good angel, as he called this
portrait. _
So years went on. Oftimes as he
looked up to the face on the fo,wing
convass he woudered what had become
of that boy. :
“‘How I should like to see how he
looks now! I wonder if Ishould know
him? Is he a good man and true, or
wicked and abandoned'? Or has he
died and gone to a better world ?” \
One day the artist was strolling down
one.of the fine walks of the city when he
‘beheld a young man whose face and
mien were so vicious, so depraved, so
almost fiend like, that he involuntarily
stopped and gazed at him.
“What a spectacle! [should like to
paint that figure and bang it in my
studio opposite the angel,” said the ar
tist to himself.
The young man asked the painter for
money ; for he was a beggar as well as
a thief,
“(lome to my room and let me paint
youar portrait, and I will give you all
you ask,” said the artist.
The young man followed the painter
and sat for a sketch. When it was fin
ished, and he had received a few coins
for his trouble, he turned to go, but his
eyes rested upon the picture ot the boy ;
he looked at it, turned pale, and then
burst into tears,
“What troubles you, man 1" said the]
artist.
It was long before the young man
could speak ; he sobbed aloud and seem
ed pierced with agony. At last he
pointed wp to the picture on the wall,
and in broken tones, which seemed to
come from a broken heart, said:
~ ““Dwenty years ago you asked me to
‘come up here and sit for a picture, and
ithat angel fac: is the portrait. Behold
‘me now a ruined man, so bloated, so
‘hideous that women and children turn
}away their facee from me; so fiend-like
‘that you wanted my picture to show
‘how ugly a man could look. Ah! Isee
‘now what erime and vice have done -for
me.”’
The artist was amazed. He could
scarcely believe his own eyes and ears.
“How did this happen ¥’ he asked.
“The young man then told him his
sad and dreadfal history ; how being an
only son and very beautiful, his parents
petted and spoiled him, how he went
forth among bad boys and learned all
their bad habits and vices, and came to
love them ; how, having plenty of mon
ey, he was enticed into wicked places
until all was lost, and then, unable to
work, and ashamed to beg, he began to
steal; was caught and imprisened with
the worst criminals, came out still more
depraved, to commit worse crimes than
before; how every bad deed he per
formed seemed to drive him to commit a
worse one, until it seemed to him that
he could not stop until brought to the
gallows. |
It was a fearful tale and brought tears
into the artist’s eye. He besought the
young man to stop, offered fo help him.
But alas! it was too late. Disease, con
tracted by dissipation, soon prostrated
‘the young man.and he soon died—be
fore he could reform. The painter hung
his portrait directly opposita that of the
beautiful boy ; and when visitors asked
him why he allowed such a hideous look
ing face to be there, he told them the |
story, saying as he closed, ‘“‘between thei
angel and the demon there is only twen
ty years of vice.” |
The leason of this tale isin the tale
itself. You who read it can tell whati
it is. Think of it often and heed it al-|
ways. |

SPEECH OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS AT
, COLUMBIA. |
Good advice was given by the gen
tleman. He said: |
“Yaour relations to the political {m‘yi
at the North have a very important bear
ing upon your fate, at all events just
now, and demand a careful meditation.
Most of you, doubtless, regard the B\lo-1
cess of the Democratic party as essen-|
tial to your relcase from your prmntl
‘situation, but it is my duty to remind
{you that men in your position have no
right to be bigoted partisans; you must,
of conrse, feel a deep interest in the
success of those who espouse your causc;
and you may properly exert all influ
‘ence to promote their success; but you
ought not to shut the door to aid from
any source. I have already deprecated
an unreasonable and _undisxk:guis&ihg‘
hostility to - the - Republican party. 1
woild s warn you .agaiast an abso
lute and exclusive devotion'to any par
ty. Ifthe Democracy succeed i elact
ing their candidate, you will be subject
ed to temptations as trying as the de
mand upon your sufferance may prove
in case General Grant is chosen. Has
ty, ill-comk’ferod, passionate or violent
action’in the eévent of a' Democratic sue
cess, would be alinost sure in the end to
tarn to your discomfiture, and render
your last estate worse than the firet ; and
yet it will require a iOOd deal of self
‘command to control the re-action from
‘this depression. ' Bat the country inthat
‘event will be so seriously divided and eo
greatly excited, that a small thing may
‘induce a terrible catastrophe, On the
‘other hand, in case of General Grant's
lelection, you will be called on to exer
cise a while longer your patience and
forbearanee. lam sure it will be re
warded in the end. Ido not believe
that General Grant is your enemy; I
feel sure he feels kindly towards you,
and will do justice, and show mercy in
his course to you; a large majority of
Republicans will help you if you will do
your best to help yourselves; a great
majority of all.at the North await to be
sure it is safe to take you cordially by
the hand once more. - Bide then, your
time. In either event “possess your
souls in patience.” €all to your aid
that greatest of all human qualities—
self-control, and all will yet be well.”
A CONTENTED FARMER,
Once upon a time, Frederick, King of
Prussia, surnamed *‘Old Fritz,” took a
ride, and espied an old farmer, plough
‘ing his acre by the wayside, cheerfully
singing his melody. |
“*You must be well off, old man,” said
the King, *‘Does this acre belong to you,
on which you industriously labor 1
.~ “No, sir,” replied the old farmer, who
‘knew not that it'was the King. *I am
not so rich as that; I plough for wages.”
“How much do you get a day 1’ ask
ed the King.
“Eight groschens,” (about twenty
cents,) said the farmenr.
“This is not much,” replied the King,
“Can you get along with this.”
“Get along and have something left.”
“Heow is this?”
“The farmer smiled and said :
“Well, if I must tell you, two gro
schens are for myself and wife; with
two I pay wmy old debts; two 1 lend
.away; and two I give away for the
} Lord’s sake.” e
“This is & mystery that I cannot
solve,” replied the King.
} “Then I will solve it for you,” said the
farmer, “I have two old parents at'home,
‘who kept me when I was weak and
‘needed help; and now that they are weak
[ami need help, I keep them ; this is my
debt toward which I pay two groschens
la day. The third pair of groschens,
whichl lend away, I spend for my chil
ldren, that they may reeeive a Christian
'instruction; this will come handy tome
Land my wife when we get old. With
the last two greschens 1 maintain two
’sick sisters, whom I am not compelled
to keep; this 1 give for the Eord'u
sake.” |
t The King, well pleased with this an
swer, said : .
“Bravely spoken, old man. Now 1
will also give you something to guess:
' Have you ever seen me before 1”
{ “Never,” said the farmer.
} ¢“ln less than five minutes you shall
| sce me fifty times, and - carry in your
f pocket fifty of my likenesses.”
| “This is a riddle that I cannot unrav
‘el,” said the farmer.
“Then I will do it for you,” replied
the King.
Thrusting his hand inte his pecket,
and counting him fifty bran new gold
pieces into his hand, stamped with his
royal likeness, he said to the astonished
farmer who knew not what was coming :
“The coin is genuine, for it also comes
from our Lord God, and lam his pay
mester. I bid you adieu.” ;
THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
An article from the N. Y, World s
introduced with the following remarks :
“There are fortunes to be made in the
South. Despite unsettled labor, impgir
ed capital, and scant ‘credit, industry
flourishes; even in the midst of political
agitations, after a fashion which suggests
great results when these temporary dis
turbing causes are withdrawn. With
almost, if not quite, all the natural ad
vantages of the North in the way of
‘mineral deposits, harbors, grain lands,
and water power, the South has a pecu
liarly mild climate and & nonopoly of
cotton land. These possibilities of
wealth have not cseaped the exceeding
ly acute notice of some of our moneyed
n, and-in reading the Southern -pa
pers onc comes every now and then on
some meation of an investment . which
seems to indicate a belief in Northera
financial circles of a not very distant re
turn to peace. With a settloment of
existing political difficulties, the value of
Southern investment would at once ap
preciate, and as this settlement, wheu
it does .come, will come at once, these
investments that are from time to time
noticed, indicate that some of our long
headed financiers are speculating for “a
rise. - Land that can now be bought in
the South for from $1 to 810 would,
with a definite pacification of the politi
cal siiuation, go up to from 83 or $4 to
$3O, $35, and $5O; and, with this rise,
other property would gain proportions
ately in value.”
GO TO FARMING, .
A good living is what comparative
few ngen succeed in making ?n : vflfia?b
or city, and yet nothing is more ‘sasy
of accomplishment on the farm. 80~
sides, there is a pleasure in cultivating
and embellishing the earth, improving
and increasing its products, and thus
adding to the aggregate of human hap
piness. Why, then, should young men
hesitate to be farmers? It is both
profitable and honorable. Itis the near
est.approximation to independence. that
man, as @ member of socicty, .can make.
A gentleman farmer—and all farmers
are, or should be, gentlemen—belonge
to an order of nobility that is not indebt
ed to placeholders for its installation,
and may, if he chooses, be ranked among
the greatest Lencfactors of the human
race. Let all idle young men go to
work on farms, and quit seeking third
and fourth rate clerkships. In ‘short,
go to farming and quit begging.—Ez,
BBED CORN.
Now is the time to select seed-corn
for next year. Evcry farmer should go
through his field and gather the largest
and earliest ears, just as the outside
husks have turned partly white. The
husks, except two or three for tying,
‘should be taken off and the ears tied in
pair or traced in strings and hung up te
dry in the shade.
A stout wire stretched in the garret
of the house or other loft, is one of the
the best things to hang seed corn on, as
it can be easily arranged 8o as to keep
off mice and rats.
Numerous experiments prove that
seed corn gathcred as above directed
will germinate quicker than that seleet
ed at the time of harvesting; and the
crops will mature earlier. Someof the
improved varieties of corn have been
obtained by adopting this method of se
lecting seed for several years in succes
sion.—d Journal of Agriculture,
