WHO ATE ROGER WILLIAMS ? ‘
(Praen Steele’s Fonrteen Weeks in Chewistry.) l
The truth that matter passes from the'
animai back iv ihe vegeiable, and fram |
e vegetable to the animal kingdom |
wgain received a curious illustration not |
iong sinee, 2
For the purpose of erccting a suita
ble monament in memory of Roger Wil
liams, the feunder of Rhiode lsland, lnini
privats buryiog ground was searcled
for the grave of bimself and wife. It|
was found that everything had passed
into oblivion, The shape of the coffiv
could only be traced by a black line of|
carbonaceous matter. The rusted hinges ’
and pails, and a round wooden knot,
alone remained in one grave; while al
single Yock of braided hair was found in |
the other. Near the graves stood an |
apple tree. This bad sent down two
main roots in to the very presence of ’
the contined dead, The larger root,|
pushing its way to the precise :8“ oc+|
cupicd by the skull of Roger Williams
had made & turn, as if passing around it,
and followed the direction of the back
bone 1o the hips. Here it divided into
two branches, sending one along each
ieg to the heels, when, both oxtwdcdi
upward to the toes. One of these roots |
formed a slight erook at the knee, which |
made the whole bear a striking resem-|
Basce to the huwan form. There were !
the graves, bat their occupants had dis- |
appeared ; the bones even bad vanish- |
ed. There stood the thief—the guiliy |
apple tree—eaught in the very act of '
robberys The spoliation was complete.
The organic matter—the flesh, the bones
of Roger Willinms, Las passed into an |
apple tree. The element had been ab
sorbed by the roots, transmuted into
woody zn, which could be burned as
fucl, or caryed into orsaments; has
bloomed into fragrant blossoms, which
delighted the eye of the passer by, and
scattered the sweetest perfume of spring; |
more than that—has been converted iu-;
to luscious frait, which from year to
year has been gathered and uun.—j
liow pertinent, then, is the question, |
“Who ate Roger Williams 1" !

MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1868,
I 8 GENBRAL W ON THE
T ey, S rancT VT
The question is, wlat does Grant
think of the negro! There i nbt
men in this house that will weintain for
'a moment that beforo the war, before
1861, there is the slightest shread of
cevidence that Ulysses Grant ever had
rone single ilea on the negro, right or
'wrong. You will allow that. Then
‘the gun sotnded at Sumter. Did he
'M into line, did he right-about face
;ll“flc‘cfi‘y, Dixand Butler? Cer
tainly he did vot. Then came the ques
'H c:nflm arm the negro! Shall
‘we feed the negro 7 Shall we recognize
'dn citizenship of the negro? You all
'know what kifled Fremont, and what
‘cashiered Hunter, and what made the
'Seuth hate Batler and Charles Sumner?
It was the negro. Nobody ever felt
!Gnnt—nobnd Jever found fanit with
bim. You wi{lafl allow, lam not ex
:l“eming or misstaiinge You never
heard the first lisp of a word from Gen
‘eral Grant during all those years. The
great General marched right up to Ap
!pomlltox took the extended sword of
'Uencul Lee, and sheathed it. And
every man in this audience will allow
ithat up to that moment the lips of Ulys
ses Grant never had déspped one single
‘word, ard his most sanguine friend has
‘not presumec ta hint at one, or invent
one up to 1865, Is not this so? He
‘went all throngh the war with the heav
ens dark and the land shaking with the
thunders of fifty battle-fields—God’s
command to the natien to do justice—
and it did not wrench ene wordfrom his
lips. And he gave no mottoes. ~Chat
ham said, “i rejoice that America resist
ed,” and you know kim by ihat. An
drew Jackson said, “The Union, it must
be preserved.” Butler said, “(lontra
band,” and the people of the loyal States
responded. |[Applanse.] What did
Grant say, enthusiastic idolator of a
stout soldier? T go to the extremcst
Jimit, and ask you to state one single
‘wateh-word uttered by him that a bull
dog might have not growled forth, and 1
am doing him justice. I know all he did,
and will, to the extent of my ability,
‘mcte out to him the lavish praises which
he deserves. Dat that great conflict
never wrenched from him a single word
in reference to thenegro. How does he
stand to-day ! What do we know about
him ! Eagland looks up to Disracli
‘and says he represeats this, to (iladstone
‘and says that he represents that, we will
trust them twenty-four hours, and if
they dou't prove faithful, out with them.
Amevica, in an hundred-fold darker
hour—two thousand million dollars in
debt, with anarchy in half of the repub
lie, with half a million fresh graves, the
most terrific convulsion that ever strain
ed the cordage of nationality, the great
gigantic war of ideas—looks up to a
great soldier and says what is his opin
ion? DMf. Washburne assests, Major
Rollins is confident, Schuyler Colfax be
lieves, Colonel Forney supposes, Henry
Wilsen does not doubt, the Ilvening
Post thinks, the Tribune hopes, and in
the meantime there does not a man walk
this continent who is able, in this urgent
exigency of national affairs, to quote
one single written word that pledges the
great General to any view on this sub
ject, excepting his reply to the yémina
tion at Chicago. That says, “I indorse
the system of Congressional reconstruc
tion.” Well, judging by the yedr 1565,
that is s failure. Congressional recon
straction ! It mcans t?ge negro in Ueor
gia turned out of the Legislature and
the jury-box—it means cvery Union
man is afraid to show his head in the
public streets of South Carolina—it
means 'Texas is a den, of thieves
—it means practical statesmanship.—
Mark you, I am a Yanatic, T am a dream
er, lam & theorist. If you want prac
tical statesmanship go up tothe Senate.
That is the body that admits seven of
ten States by bill, and when they have
got in, Georgia puts the negro under her
feet, South Carolina shoots every loyal
ist, and the frightened Daily Advertiser
tarns vound aud says, “How this is to
be remedied nobedy can ell.”
WHERE 18 YOUR BOY AT MIGHT.
The practice of allow ing buysto spend
tlicie evepings in the streets I 8 onc of
the most ruitious, dengerous and mis
chievious things possible. Nothing so
speedily and mrely marks their course
downward. The lccl‘nkb under cover
of night, an uluh y state of mind,
vuigar and profane language, obscenc
practices, criminal sentiment, and a law
less, riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in
the streets, after xfght-1111, that boys
acquire the educatio and tho capacity
for becoming rowdy, dissolate men.—
Pareuts do von bcfi'c-:o it! Wil you
keep your childrem home of nights, and
soo that their home is made pleasant
and profitable ? |
.e is the ok :%;Hmrn our
froe country can whether in the
i workshop, or at thé v you ifi‘id _the
samo noble hearted Siee And inflepor
‘dent being, Andifßherois a man in
saciety gpon whom we look with esteem
‘and admirvation, it is the independent,
sober working-man. We care not
whether he be farmer, mechanic or com
mon laborer—whetlier ‘fn 'fifl,u are en
dured in the workship, the field, or tho
eoal mine; whether Lis home g in the
backwoods or in the neat cottage—our
admiration is the same. What a lappy
picture he presents; what a roward for
his Jabor, who, by his own unaided ex
ertions, establishes for himself a respect
able position insociety; who, c'ommcnc-i
ing in poverty, by his skill and assidui
ty, surmounts ecvery prejudice, and
finally succeeds in forming a character
whose value is enhanced by those who(
come after him. ‘
Such a man we prize as the noblest
work of which human nature is ‘¢apable
—the highest production she can ‘bont.l
And let it be fmrm in mind by the
young working man just entaring upon
the stage of active life—let it ever lie at
the foundation and be the moving spring
of his efforts—that this situation 'he
must strain'cvery nerve to attain. It
can be attained by wil. Untiring in
dustry and virttous ambition never fail
to fin& their reward. They never yet
were exerted in vain, and never will
while honesty and justice find a homein
the human breast. It was remarked by
an eloquent writer, that the working
man who had no inheri:ance but virtue
is the sole king among men, and the|
only man among kings.
“He envies not the gon of easo,
Nov lovd in princely hat';
2ut bows before the wise decrees, PR !
In kindness meant for all.”
GETTING ON IN THE WORLD.
There are many different ways of get
ting on in the world ; it does not always
mean making o great deal of money, er
being a great man for the peoplo to look
to with ‘wonder. Leaving off ‘a bad
habit for a good one, is getting on in the
world; to'be carefal and saving, instéad
of thoughtless and wasteful, is get
ting on; to be active and industrious,
instead of idle and lazy, is getting on;
to be kind and forbearing, instead of ill
natured and quarrelsome, is getting on’j
to work as diliigcntly in the master’s ab
sence as in his presence, is getting on;
in short, when we sce any one properly
attending to his duties, persevering
through much difficalty to gain sueh
knowledge as shall be of us%o himself
and others, and offering a g example’
to his relatives and acquaintances, ‘we
may be sare he is getting on in the
world. Money is a very usefal article
inits way, butit is possible to got on
with small means, for it is a mistake to
suppose that we must wait for a good
deal of money before we can’ do ‘any
thing. Perseverance is often better
than a full purse. There are more helps
towards getting on than is generally
suppored ; many people lag behind or
miss the way altogether, because they
do not see the abundant and simple
means which surround them en all sides,
and so it happens that there are aids
which cannot be bought with money.—
Those who wish to get on in the world
must have a stock of patience, of lope
al confidence, a willingness to learn,
and a disposition not easily cast down
by difficulties and disappointments.
LADIES SHOULD READ NEWSPA
PZRS. |
It is a great mistake in female edu
cation to keep &youn[rr lady’s time and
atteniion devoted to the fashionable lit
erature of the day. 1f you woald quali
fy her for conversation, you must give
her something to talk ; give her educa
tion with this actual world, with its trans
piring events; urge her to read the
newspapers and become familiar with
the present character and improvements
of trade. History is of some importance,
but the past world is dead, and we have
nothing to do with it. _ Onr thoughts
and our concerns should be for the
present world—to know what it is, and
to improve the condition of it. et us
hiave an iutelligent opinion, and be able
to susizin a conversation concerning the
mental, woral, political and religious im+
provements of our times ; see that each
other's feelings, thoughts and actions
are pure and true ; then will our life be
such. = The wide pastures are but separ
ate apires of grass; the sheeted bloow
of the prairics but isolated flowers.

A DILEMMA:

faith, many years since, started West
ward to attend a convéntion of brethrea
in the faith, HMe took the precaution'té
carry a vial of cayénne in his pocket, to
’ sprinkle his food With, as a preventive
to fever and agds. The convention
met; and at dinner & tall Hoosier ob
served the parson as ho scasoned His
meat and addressed him thus:

The Hoosier took the yroffored vitk
and feeling himself pr‘nufl against an
quantity of raw whisky, thought that hé

and accordingly sprinkled a junk of beef -
rather bountifally with it, and forthwith
introdiiced it into his capacious mouth.
