CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, APRIL 4, 1884. CARROLL FREE Communicated. Drunkenness. If by an awful visitation of Di vine providence, there was spread ing over all parts of this country, a foul and loathsome leprosy which poisoned and disfigured the bodies of its victims and affected the minds with madness or idiotism, if this leprosy had seized a great part of our useful laborers and rendered them a burden to the community, if the prospects and hopes of a large portion of our promising young men had been blasted and destroy ed by it, if it had infected more or less every town and every village, and was spreading its ravages from year to year wider and yet wider if this were the actual condition of our country there is no telling how great would be the alarm. But neither this nor any singular cala mity, heaven be praised, has been brought upon us by the direct hand of providence, which has showered on us blessings, without number and in great abundance, but hu man folly and wickedness, abuse the kindness of providence and change its blessings into curses. Let sober reason judge whether drunkenness, be not as bad as the fatal leprosy I have described; nay even worse. Rev. G. G. Smith in Union and Recor der. Brother George Visits the Governor.

Somebody sneeringly asked in my hearing, “and who is McDaniel, anyhow ?” I think I know and, for moss and sea-shells encased in them and endless evidence that the ships of Solomon might have sailed these mountain-tops, seeking the land of Ophir. And yet here was pitiful man, in the heart of all this mystery, in the presence of ever-patient and in dustrious Nature as she tried to fashion a home for him glorious and beautiful, cutting his fellow- man’s throat before he had yet fairly sat down to the possession of it all.

It was doubtful from the first how the men sent to execute “judg ment” on this poor girl would pro ceed, as they rode slowly down the hill into the camp. There was no doubt in any one’s mind what they would do in the end. But how and by what tortuous roads of cruelty and delay and dismay would they proceed? By what cruel cat-and- mouse means would they proceed to teach their terrible lesson of the vengeance and the power of Dan, “a serpent by the way.” “an adder in the path” ? When the sun shines hot and clear, a photograph is taken almost instantly, which will endure a long, long time. And so it is in and with scenes like this. The blood was at fever heat. The imagination was like flame. Terror of what was to hap pen fastened all things there firm ly as if the world stood still forev er. The heart after alittle time al most ceased to beat. Before us to the south and far away gleamed the great sea of salt in the morning sun. A green is land of trees where a thousand crttle fed, the property of the Mor mon church, lay far away toward the other side. It was but dimly visible, yet beautiful, peaceful in its far tranquillity as a picture of Paradise. As the eyes strained and swept across the gleaming sea of salt and rested on this beautiful island, they seemed to want to remain | there. You could not turn your hold’s ferry to \Vest Point in a bateau. The distance by the river is nearly a hundred and fifty miles, and was made in a little over two days.

The boys say that once or twice they thought their time had come, but providence protected them, arid they went over rapids in safety where seemed like such a thing was impossible. They went over a miildam where the water falls ten feet when the river is low, but the water was so high then that they could only discover a fall of a foot and a half.

These magnificent mountains drew an impassable wall, a crescent to the east and north, around the incipient Mor mon city. These mighty towers of snow, this strange new people, mad on the subject of religion, called their “towers of strength.” They likened them to the white towers that were above the mighty walls of Jerusalem of old. Ev erywhere, in all things around them, they read the fulfilment of prophecies, Bible tradisions and Bible truths. The deserts and the wells in the deserts, the balm-of- gilead trees, even the locusts that sometimes devoured the land—in all these they read, imagined, be lieved implicitly, that they had here, thousands of miles away from all the world, found a new Jerusa lem; that they were indeed the chil dren of the lost tribes—the children of Dan indeed, that should judge the people of the earth as they pass ed, and be as “a serpent by the way,” “an adder in the path.” To the east of this remnant of a dried-up sea, and close upon the salt-white shore of it, there gushed from the rocky hillside a little riv er of boiling water which sent forth its steam in the early morning in a perpetual drift on snowy clouds. These beautiful white clouds rose to the mountain-top to the east, and there rested lazily in the sun or cradled to and fro above the Mor mon city. Beneath these cradled clouds, far below them, and yet far above the city, and to the east and to the north, and above our own camp there was drawn in a precise level the definite and unmistakable shore and surf-line ofa great dried-up sea. Hundreds of feet above the black and heavy waters of Salt Lake, you can see where the surf roared in storm and tempest when the world was young, tore the rocks to splinters, fashioned caverns, and washed a pebbled strand. These marks will remain while the moun tains remain. All around, high up on the hill-top, you pick up sea- washed pebbles, petrified sea-fish of a forgotten age, stones with sear ■' { i Correspondence Chicago Journal. How to Cook Water.

No Chance to Rectify Mistakes. ’NVhen I was a young man there lived in our neighbordood a farm er who was usually reported to be a very liberal man and uncommon ly upright in his dealings. When he had any of the produceof his farm to dispose of he made it an invaria ble rule to give good measure—rath er more than would be required of him. One of his friends, observing him frequently doing so questioned him as to why he did it. He told him he gave too much, and said it was to his disadvantage. Now mark the answer of the excellent man: “God has permitted me but one journey through the world, and when I am gone I cannot’return to rectify mistakes.” The old far mer’s mistakes were of the kind he did not want to rectify.—Ex-Gov.
