THE GREAT DESTROYER.
‘‘Prisoner at the bar, have you any
thing to say why sentence of death
snaU not be passed upon you ?”
A solemn hush fell over the crowd- i
ed court room, and every person !
waited in almost breathless expecta
tion for an answer to the judge's ques
tion.
Will the prisoner answer?
Is there nothing that will make hirj
show some sign of emotion ?
Will he maintain the cold, indiffer
ent attitude that he has shown
through the long trial, even to the
place of execution ?
Such were the questions that passed
through the minds of those who had
followed the case from day to day.
Tbe judge still waited in dignified
silence.
Not a whisper was heard anywhere,
and the situation had become painfully
oppressive, when the prisoner was
seen to move, his head was raised,
his hands were clinched, and the blood
had rushed into his pale, care-worn
face, his teeth were firmly set, and in
to his haggard eyes came a flash of
light
Suddenly he arose to his feet, and
in a low, firm but distinct voice, said:
“I have 1 Your honor, you have
asked me a question, and I now ask,
as the last favor on earth, that you
will not interrupt my answer until I
an through.
“I stand before this bar, convicted
of the willful murder of my wife.
Truthful witnesses have testified to
the fact that I was a loafer, a drunk
ard and a wretch ; that I returned
from one of my long debauches and
fired the fatal shot that killed the wife
I had sworn to love, cherish and pro
tect. While 1 have no remembrance
of committing the fearful, cowardly
and inhuman deed, I have no right tc
complain or condemn the verdict of
the twelve good men who have acted
as jurors in this case, for their verdict
in in accordance with the evidence.
“But, may it please the court, I
wish to show that I am not alone re
sponsible for the murder of my wife!”
This startling statement created a
tremendous sensation. The judge
leaned over the desk, the lawyers
wheeled around and faced the prisoner;
the jurors looked at each other in
amazement, while the spectators could
hardly suppress their intense excite
ment. The prisoner paused a few
seconds, and then continued in the
same firm, distinct voice:
“I repeat, your honor, I am not the
only one guilty of the murder of my
wife. The judge on this bench, the
jury in the box, the lawyers within
this bar, and most of the witnesses,
including, the pastor of the old church,
are also guilty before Almighty God,
and will have to appear with me before
his Judgment Throne, where we all
shall be righteously judged.
“If twenty men conspire together
for the murder of one person, the law
power of this land will arrest the
twenty, and each will be tried, convic
ted and executed for a whole murder,
and not one-twentieth of the crime.
“I have been made a drunkard by
law. If it had not been for the legal
ized saloons of my town, I never
would have become a drunkard; my
wife would not have been murdered ;
I would not be here now, ready to be
hurled into eternity. Had it not been
for the human traps set out with the
consent of the government, I would
have been a sober man, an industrious
workman, a tender father and a lov
ing husband. But to-day my home
is destroyed, say wife murdered, my
little children—God bless and care
for them—cast on the mercy of a oold
and cruel world, while I am to be
murdered by the strong arm of the
State.
“God knows, I tried to reform, but
as long as the open saloon was in my
pathway my weak, diseased will
power was no match against the fear
ful, consuming, agonizing appetite for
liquor. At last, I sought the protec
tion, care and sympathy of the church
of Jesus Christ, but at the communion
table I received from the hand of the
pastor who sits there and who has
testified against me in this case, the
cup that contained the very same al
coholic serpent that is found in every
bar-room in the land. It proved too
much for my weak humanity, and out
of that holy place I rushed to the last
debauch that ended with the murder
of my wife.
“For one year our town was without
a saloon. For one year I was a sober
man. For one year my wife and chil
dren were supremely happy, and our
little home a perfect paradise.
“I was one of those who signed re
monstrance against re-opening the
saloons in our town. The names of
one half of this jury can be found to
day on the petition certifying to the
good moral character (?) of the rum
sellers, and falsely saying that the
sale of liquor was ‘necessary’ in our
town. The prosecuting attorney on
this case was the one that so eloquent
ly pleaded w ith this court for the
licenses, and the judge who sits on
this bench, and who asked me if I
had anything to say before sentence
of death was passed on me, granted
the license.”
The impassioned words of the
prisoner fell like coals of fire upon the
hearts of those present, and many of
the spectators and some of the lawyers
were moved to tears. The judge
made a motion as if to stop any further
speech on the part of the prisoner,
when the speaker hastily said:
“No! no! your honor, do not close
my lips; lam nearly through, and
they are the last words I shall ever
utter on earth.
“I began mv downward career at
a saloon-bar —legalized and protected
by the voters of this commonwealth,
which has received annually a part of
the blood money from the poor, de
luded victims. After the State had
made me a drunkard and a murderer,
I am taken before another bar—the
bar of justice(?) by the same power of
law that legalized the first bar, and
now the law-power will conduct me
to the place of execution and hasten
my soul into eternity. I shall appear
before another bar—the judgment
bar of God, and there you, who have
legalized the traffic, will have to ap
pear with me. Think you that the
Great Judge will hold me—the poor,
weak, helpless victim of your traffic—
alone responsible for the murder of
my wife? Nay, I, in my drunken,
frienzied, irresponsible condition, have
murdered but one, but you have de
liberately and willfully murdered your
thousands, and the murder-mills are
in full_ operation to-day with your
consent.
“All of you know in your hearts
that these words of mine are not the
ravings of an unsound mind, but God
Almighty's truth. The liquor traffic
of this nation is responsible for nearly
all the murders, bloodshed, riots,
poverty, misery, wretchedness and
woe. It breaks up thousands of
happy homes every year; sends the
husband and father to prison or to
the gallowp, and drives countless
mothers and little children into the
world to suffer and die. It furnishes
nearly all the criminal business of
this and every other court, and blasts
every community it touches.
“You legalized the saloons that
made me a drunkard and a murderer,
and you are guilty with me before
God and man for the murder of my
wife.
“Your honor, lam done. I am
now ready to receive my sentence ard
be led forth to the place of execution,
and murdered according to the laws
of tLis State. You will close by ask
ing the Lord to have mercy on my
soul. I will close by solemnly asking
God to open your blind eyes to the
truth, to your individual responsi
bility, so that you will cease to give
your support to this hell-born traffio.”
—Tallie Morgan, in Domestic Jour
nal.
Success in Life,
The story is told that on a certain
occasion, when a company of persons
were discussing in a crowded room,
sacred subjects and certain prominent
men, one suddenly exclaimed: “I
should like to meet that Bishop of
Lichfield; I'd put a question to him
that would puzzle him.”
“Very well,” said a voice out of an
other comer; “now is your time,for I
am the Bishop.”
The man was somewhat startled
and taken aback, but presently re
covered himself and said: “Well,
my lord, can you tell me the way to
heaven ?”
“Nothing easier,” answered the
Bishop; “you have only to turn to the
right and go straight ahead.”
The story is repeated here not for
the light it gives on that path, but
on the road to success in life—the di
rection given is as good for one as
for the other—and to introduce a re
mark of one of the most successful
men in our country, successful in the
best sense,which ought to be more
widely known than it is, and which,
as it meets the eyes of hundreds of
young men, may mean, if heeded,
success to them.
Writing, after he had become a
man, to a young student in college,
Amos Lawrence, a name well known
throughout our country, gave t-hia
counsel:
“In the first place, take this for
your motto at the commencement of
your journey, that the difference of
going just right or a little wrong will
be the difference of finding yourself
in good quarters, or in a miserable
bog or slough at the end of ih To
this simple fact of starting just right
am I indebted with God's blessing on
my labors for my present position, as
well as that of the numerous connec
tions sprung up around me.”
The whole biography is well worth
reading, but seldom do we find as
much good sense and sound advice
in a single sentence as in this. Its
disregard has been the rock upon
which many a life has been wrecked,
its observance again and again the
way that has led to success—Rev.
R. H. Howe.
Seeing is Believing.
A skeptical young collegian con
fronted an old Quaker with the state
ment that he did not believe in the
Bible. Said the Quaker:
“Does thee believe in France ?”
“Yes ; for though I have not seen
it I have seen others that have. Be
sides there are plently of proofs that
such a country does exist’’
“Then thee will not believe any
thing thee or others have not seen ?”
“No; to be sure I won’t”
“Did thee ever see thine own
brains ?”
“No.”
“Dost thee believe thou hast
any ?”
The young man was seized with a
fit of silence.

Brain, Money and Muscle.
- BY DB. E. MOBGAX.
Brain, and muscle are the
essential elements of the fundamental
powers of the progress of this great
World. It requires brain, associated
with money and muscle, to accomplish
the objects needful in this life. Brain,
money and muscle, taken separately,
can do nothing worthy of note—they
are like the engine without steam — j
but when these three elements are i
combined they form the greatest
power in the known world.
Brain, the center of sensation, the
organ or seat of intellect, has been
the projector of inventions which
money and muscle have put in force
and action which have revolutionized
the commercial world. Cultivated
brain has solved the myste.' ious prob
lems of life, and when we look through
the catalogue of human events, it
seems tbat the hidden mysteries of
God in the bowel* of the earth have
been made plain ; profound secrets
and things cautiously concealed have
been brought to light, and that which
looked to be beyond human compre
hension has been explained. Brain,
money and muscle have knit and
threaded this entire world together
by railroads and telegraph wires, and
the nations of the earth sit down in
family conference. BraiD, money and
muscle laid the sub marine Atlantic
cable. The battles of Europe and tbe
speeches of her statesmen are, by this
wonderful invention, reported in the
journals of New York, St. Louis and
San Francisco the next morning.
It would be impossible to mention
the one hundreth part of the remark
able invention tbat brain, money and
muscle have accomplished. In tbe
year 1492 we can see Christopher
Columbus, as he sailed out of tbe
harbor of Palos, in Spain, in his little
vessel named “Santa Maria,” sailing
over a foaming and angry sea. Brain,
money and muscle started him out on
the wonderful voyage which resulted
in the discovery of the New World.
Brain has analyzed water and found
it to consist of two gases—hydrogen
and oxygen. The locomotive engine,
steam press and steamship are all the
work of cultivated brain, set in opera
tion by money and muscle. The
great Bartholdi statue, erected upon
Bedloe’s Island, in New York Bay ;
the Washington Monument, 555 feet
high ; the Eifel Tower, in France,
1,000 feet; Strausburg Cathedral,
474 feet; the Pyramid of Cephrenes,
466 feet; the Pyramid of Sakkarah
and the obelisk of Luxor, are the
works of brain, money and muscle.
Impressed with the conviction that
lightning and the electric spark were
identical, Franklin determined to test
its results, and, by putting brain,
money and muscle into operation, he
constructed a kite, and when the sec
ond cloud had passed over, to his in
describable joy, he had accomplished
the object for which he had been
laboring—a leaden jar was charged
with electricity, that which God had
made to flash from horizon to horizon
and dart from cloud to cloud. BraiD,
money and muscle have reached out a
gentle hand of kindness and tamed its
wild nature, and on the wires across
this great world it darts with its
messages, and even under the waters
it flashes on the wire from continent
to continent. Brain has made it man’s
servant
Brain has measured the distance to
the sun and announced it to the world
to be ninety-one million miles. Brain
has measured the circumference of the
earth and found it was twenty-five
thousand miles. Brain tells us that
this globe is an oblate spheroid and
turns upon its axis in its daily and
annual revolutions, and money and
muscle have proven it to be true.
Cultivated brain has weighed the
specific gravity of one square mile,
and announced that this world’s
weight was six sextillion tons.
Brain, associated with money and
muscle, has dwelt among the planets.
Using the telescope as an alpenstock,
it leaps from world crag to world
crag and finds none standing still. It
measures the distance from the sun
to Mercury and finds it to be 36,393,-
000 miles. It measures the distance
to Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and finally comes in sight of
Neptune, 2,746,271,090 miles away.
It tells us that the moon moves fifty
four thousand miles in a day. Yonder
Neptune flashes on eleven thousand
miles in an hour. It has measured
the orb of the earth and found it was
575,000,000 miles in length. It tells
us that we are ninety one million miles
from their center of motion, and that
we are moving both around the sun
and around the earth’s axis, uncon
scious of the motion.
It seems that Kepler, Herschel and
Galileo dwelt among the planets and
solved the mysterious problems of
God in nature. These are great men
who once lived, but have long since
passed away to that rest that remain
eth for the people of God. But their
names are still commemorated in
poetry and in song, and their influ
ence will live and last through ages
and generations that are yet to be.
But, while they “sleep the sleep that
knows no waking,” there are others
to fill their positions. But these are
not Kepler, nor Herschel, nor Galileo,
nor Demosthenes, nor Cicero, but
their names will be handed down in
history through all the centuries yet
to oome. These were men of culti
vated brain, and by the use of money
and muscle they made their names
immortal. They will never die. Their
influence will live, and thousands will
be made and moulded by them.
Cultivated brain has accomplished !
wonders in this life. The inventions,
the marvelous growth and the pro
gress of the age are the work of braiD,
money and muscle. The forcing
pump, the centrifugal pumo, the
pyrometer, the differential thermome
ter, the multiplying glass, the solar
spectrum, the photographer's camera,
the magic lantern, the cylinder elec
trical machine, the mariner's compass,
and thousands of others, are inven
tions that brain has gotten up, money
prepared the materials and muscle
put them in use. If only cultivated,
brain can be the projector of inven
tions—the ones who occupy promi
nent positions—who leave behind last
ing influences for good. Why not
labor, that our minds may be fully
developed?
Summing it all up, this is a world
of progress and invention. Man has
advanced with such astounding ve
locity that, breathless, he has reached
a point where the impossible has been
accomplished. But he is not content
with the work of the past Still he
goes on, delving in the various prob
lems of life, trying to analyze the star*
and to solve the mysterious problems
that God has sealed from human
sight Brain will never be content—
there is something new—something
just ahead—something that has not
been brought to light—trying to be
first to discover something that chem
ist and scientist have failed to bring
forth—trying to make their names
immortal. Poor, discontented human
beings cannot say, “Thy will be
done” ; cannot be content with the will
of God—His hidden treasures of the
earth and of the sky. They are anxi
ous to find out the chemical elements
of nature, the shape and size of the
world, its revolutions on its axis, the
unexplored regions of the earth, and
the navigation of the air. All these
things they are anxious to do, and by
the use of brain, money and muscle,
it will be accomplished.
Stop Awhile, Boys.
When Dr. David Livingstone was
traveling through the forests of
rica he saw many wonderful plants
and shrubs growing everywhere about
him. Among others he was shown
by the natives a queer looking thorn
that was known by the name of “stop
awhile.” The name had been given
it because it was of such a formation
that once a person became entangled
in it he could not escape without first
having -bis clothes torn to shreds,
for so thick was its foliage and so
sharp and strong its spiqes that the
more one tried to loosen oneself the
more firmly one was held.
The first evening you went to that
place—l won’t say what place, for
you know only too well—sgainst the
direct wishes of your parents, and
with that crowd of bad boys, against
whom they warned you, you were
clearly finding your way into the en
tanglement of a thorn far more dread
ful than the one I have described.
When ‘you lingered, “for just a
moment,” to peep behind the greeD
door to look upon a game I will not
call by name; when you did more
than peep, after the first minute;
when you were, in truth, coaxed into
“trying your own hand at it,” then
were you caught hard and fast in the
grasp of a thorn a thousand times
more terrible than even the dreaded
“stop awhile.” „
When “stop awhile” grasped its
victim, it finally lets him go after
tearing his clothes from his back and
leaving his bodyscratched and bruised,
but when once this other thorn of
which I have told you—this thorn
of “wicked company”—gains its hold
upon you, it rends the chaiacter bit
by bit and pierces the very soul. It
is not merely “stop awhile” with this
thorn, but stop for all your life—
stop in the dread and heart torturing
clutches that are forever pulling you
down, down, down! Boys, beware
of it, and don’t even “stop awhile”
anywhere near it
A Lawyer Knocked Out.
The circuit court was sitting in a
New Hampshire town. It was a cold
evening, and a crowd of lawyers had
seated themselveß around the hearth
in the village inn, when a belated
traveler, benumbed with cold, entered
the room. As none of the lawyers or
fered to make room near the fire, he
sat in the back part of the room.
A smart young lawyer addressed
him, and the following dialogue took
place:
“You look like a traveler.”
“Well, I suppose I am. I came all
the way from Wisconsin afoot, at any
rate.”
“From Wisconsin. What a long
distance you had to travel.”
“Well, I did it, anyhow.”
“Did you ever pass through hell in
any of your journeys.”
“Yes, sir; I passed through the
outskirts.”
“I thought likely. Could you tell
us what are the manners and cutt'>m
of that place ? Several of us would
like to know.”
“Oh ! You will find them the same
as in this place ; the lawyers always
sifc nearest the fire.”—Boston H raid.
The earlier symptoms of dyspepsia,
heartburn and occasional headaches,
should not be neglected. Take
Hood’s Sarsaparilla to be cured.
American Women.
Henry Clay often said that it
seemed to him that American women
of any class surpassed in tact and
natural good manners the women of
any other race.
During a Presidential campaign,
after he had addressed a mass meet
ing in a Kentucky town, one of the
neighboring farmers invited him to
dinner at an early date, to meet some
of the leading Whigs of the coun
try.
When the day arrived, Mr. Clay
rode up to the farm hou-e, and was
surprised to see no stir of prepara
tions, for the hospitable Kentuckians
usually found no banquet too rich for
their beloved leader. The farmer's
wife, in a homespun gown and white
apron, was feeding the chickens.
She turned staled, and then ap
proaohed him smilingly.
“It is Mr. Clay? Come in! My
husband will be here in a moment.’'
She led him dicectly into her clean,
cheerful kitchen, and blew the hern
to summon her husband and sons,
giving them a warning look as they
entered.
“I knew,” Mr. Clay said, “there
was a blunder somewhere. But there
was no hint of it in my hostess' man
ner as she soon after composedly
placed the single dish of food on the
table, and invited us to be seated.
The dish was pig's jowl and cabbage,
and it was exceedingly well cooked.
I never enjoyed a meal more, or lis
tened to better talk. When it was
over, and we men had smoked our
pipes, I prepared to mount my
horse. The farmer's wife then came
out.
“ ‘You will dine with us to-mor
row, and meet the politicians as you
promised, Mr. Clay ?’ehe said. ‘We
are so honored amd grateful by your
coming alone to us to-day.’
“The next day a large company of
men sat down to a royal dinner. But
I eDjoyed the jowl and cabbage most.
It had the flavor of the finest hospi
tality.”
He Was for Polk.
The late Rev. Mr. Lancaster of
Kentucky, in his earlier ministry was
sent by “the powers that be” of his
church —Methodist Episcopal—to la
bor in the mountainous regions of
Westorn Virginia. A certain Sabbath
during the celebrated and now his
toric Polk-Clay campaign, just pro
ceeding the election, when excitement
and enthusiasm were at the highest
pitch, found him filling an appoint
ment to peeacb at a certain point
where a j >int discussion had been
held by the respective local champ
ions of the two contesting parties on
the day preceediDg.
The excitement created by the
coming together of the two factions
politically had eclipsed anything of
the kind hitherto in the section, and
the minister found it decidedly up
hill work to bring the attention of the
congregation to the subject in hand.
Sitting on the knee of his father—
an ardent admirer of the Tennessean
by the way—was an urchin who had
been present at the political speaking
of the day before, and who evidently
was non plussed at the quietness and
apparent lack of enthusiasm of the
present meeting.
Toward the close of the sermon the
good minister, in urging the people
to “come out on the Lord’s side,” in
stentorian tones put forth the interro
gation, “Whose side are you on?”
Instantly the aforesaid little urchin
jumped from his perch on the pater
nal knee to the floor iu front of the
preacLer’s stand and yelled out at the
top of his voice: “Polk’s! Polk!
Polk! Rah for Polk! Dot-rot it,
dad, why don’t you holler?”
Dismissal promptly ensued, and
further attempts to Christianize that
community was deferred until after
the election.
Not So Crazy After All.
The wit of lunatics may seem an
anomaly, but the subject would ad
mit of a full article. Oar asylums
are often the scene of genuine humor.
The uneasy brain seems as apt as the
brain in sleep to strike out very funny
relations.
An inmate of a private asylum, see
ing a man pass with a gun, a dog and
a couple of snipe, sang ont:
“How much did that dog cost,
sir ?”
“Fifteen dollars.”
‘ ‘And the gun ?”
“Twenty.”
“And the hunting suit, with the
boots ?”
“Fifty.”
“And how much might the two
snipes be worth ?”
“Ten cents.”
“Well, then, you hurry home and
leave them, and come here and swap
places with me. I never did so crazy
a thing in my life.”
The Best of All.
McMin’nville, Tenn., )
November 15, 1893 /
I had kidney trouble for over
twenty years and had tried everything
I could hear of, without benefit. Two
bottles of King’s Royal Germetuer
cured me, and I have not had any
trouble for six months and believe I
am cured. I certainly think it the
finest remedy I ever saw, and have
recommended it to many friends for
fevers, stomach, kidney and bowel
troubles, and their use of Germetuer
has been satisfactory in every instance.

;Man, and How to Treat Him.
BY A HOUSE.
When a man drops from sheer ex
haustion, or illness, promptly eeizean]
end-board, or a cart-stake, and pound
him on the head and on the ribs. If
this does not recuperate him, kick
him violently in the belly. This treat
ment will restore him if persistently
administered.
If a man finds his load too heavy,
and feels that it will seriously strain
him to proceed, kick off a shaft or
foot-board and knock him down—and
hammer him thoroughly with the
board. This will give renewed en
ergy, and he will make no more fuss.
But do not on any account reduce the
load. That would look too much like
common sense, or humanity, and he
will probably never baulk again when
over loaded.
If a man refuses to drink when you
offer him water don't give him any for
two days. That will “teach him” to
be thirsty at any time you find it con
venient to attend to him. It is a good
plan to ply the whip frequently on a
man who is at work. No matter if he
is doing his best, hit him now and
then on “general principles,” and to
prevent him taking any comfort. If
his load is not heavy oblige him to go
enough faster to make up for it
Work him hard enough to bring down
the average life of man one-half, as is
done with us—the unfortunate horses.
If no whip is handy, use a club.
Tie your man's head back in an un
natural position, with his eyes up to
wards the sun. This will give him a
“fiae appearance, ’’ and “prevent him
from stumbling.” Of course he will
be able to do much work in this poe
tioD, but it makes him look smart, so
it’s all right. In winter remove his
clothing to “prevent his taking co’d.”
He will also “dry quicker” when you
overwork him. You must haDg a
blanket on his back—but leave his
neck and limbs exposed—when he is
not at work. Men thus treated are
“much healthier” than when allowed
winter clothing.
If it is not perfectly convenient to
feed a man who is working for you at
noon, let him go without, and, by the
active use of the whip, secure as much
work as the food would have secured.
Of course it wears out his vitality and
distresses him, but that is no matter.
Put tight shoes on ynur man, and
them there until he is very lame
with oms. To change his shoes
often costs money; not much, but
some, and lameness and misery are of
no account if you can save a few shill
ings’ worth of shoes in the year.
When you hire a man do not be ham
pered by any silly humane notions.
Get all you can out of him. True no
bility consists in getting money, not
in decency, or kindness, or what some
noodles term “character.” Get money,
even if it is all blood-stained. These
are correct principles, I am sure, for
I learned them when a colt from my
master, who treated all his horses on
this plan.
