! BY THE HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR.
From an address delivered before the pris
' oners in Auburn State Prison iu__lB79.
" Sitting before my firc on'a win
ter eveping, and wmusing, as old
‘men are apt to do, about their sots,
their errors, their successes or
their failures, it oceursd to me
what T would do if T had the pow
er, and was cowpelled to wipe out
twenty acts of my lifo. At first it
feemed s if this was :in‘v?igy
thyng to, de.= I shad ydone more
than . twenty wropg things for
which I had always felt reyrot,and
was about to scize my imeginary
sponge and rih them out a¢ onee,
but I thought it hest 40 move with
cure, to do as I had done toothers;
lay my character out upon the
ldissegtif t}‘ble, and trace, gll
influences which had made or
marred it. I found, to my sur
prise, if there were any golden
‘threads running through it they
were wrought out by the regrets
felt at wrongsj that thesé regrets
had run through the course of my
life, guiding my footsteps through
all its intricagies and problems;
and if I should obliterate all of
these acts, to which these golden
threads were, attached whose
lengthening lines werc woven into
my very nature, I should destroy
what little {here was of virtue in
my moral makeap. Then I learn
ed that the wrong aet, followad by
the just regret and by thoughtfu!
caution to #roid such errors, made
me a better man thau I should
}huve been if T had never fallen.
i[n this, I found hope for myself
and hope for others, and I tell
iyou who sit before me, as I say to
all in every condition, thsif you

Sspork mierdly 6 grefit cvents; but’
of the thoughls upon our beds,
the toil in the workshop, and the
little dutics which attend every
hour. God, in His goodness,
does not judge us so much by
what we do; but when we have
done things, right or wrong, our
destiny mainly turns upon what
we think and do safter their cecur
rence. It is then we decide if
they shall lift usg up to a higher
Jevel, or bear us down to a lower
grade of movals. Curacts mainly
spring fromdmpulsespr accidents

gives them their hue. g
The “world may notsee this; it ‘
may frown upon the deed and up
on the man, who, nevertheless, by
his regrets, makes it one which 1
shall ministor to purity and vir
tue in &'l his afger-life. You, who
sit bafore me, in sowe ways have
advantages over other men whose
minds arve agitated by the hopes
and fears of active pursuits, who
find no time for thoughts which
tend to virtue and to happiness.
With each of you, in a little
time, the great question wili he
not if you are to be sot frea, not
what the world thinks of you,
ot what you have-but what you
are; for death often knocks at the
door of your cells, and some of
| your mumber are carried from
‘their narrow walls to the miore
' narraw walls of the grave.
| Let it not be thought that T
prove wrong may be done so that
good may follow. With St. Paul,
iI protest against much inference
| from the truth that men are saved
| by repentance of their sins,
i Bat iet us look farther into this
| subject for it deaply concerns us.
| Though we are unable to recall
the ercors of the past, we may so
'deal with them that they will pro
| mote our virtus, our wisdom and
Lappiness. Upon this point lam
{ not theorizing. Whoever thinks,
-will Jearn that human experience
proves this. Let us take the case
‘of our errors. We should find if
' we could rab themall-antithatwe
should destroy tiio wisdom they
have given us, if we have taken
care to make our errors teach us
wisdom. Who eonld spare their
corrows? How much that is kind
and sympathetic in our natures,
~which leads us to minister to the
griefs of others, and thus to gain
consolation for ourselves, grown
out of what are felt as keen calam
ities when they befall us. |
Yollowing out the line of my
thoughts, when I sassumed that I
had the power and was compelled
to drown in Lethean watera cer
tain acts, I found I could not
spare errors which call forth re
grats, mistakes which teach us wis
dom, or the sorrows which soften
character and make us sensible of
the sympathies which give beauty
to the iufercourse of life. As I
had to obliterate twenty events, T
found I could best spare the sne
cesses or triumphs which had on
ly served to impart courage in the
battle of life and had but littie in
flaence in forming a character. It
is true that, wheraver and what
over we are, we c¢an sa deal with
the past that we can make it give
up ous virtue and wisdom. We
can, by cur regrets, do more than
the alchemist aims at when he
secks to {ransmute base metals in

noss; we can transmute error into
WisAom; W€ can make Ssorrows

fragrant lowors. These great truths

short by accident or disease.
W ithin these walls but few days
pass without that question being
loreed uapon the minds of some
wio have reached the end of life’s
journey. Surely, it should give
nope andreonsolntion to all to feel
that they ean, in the solitude of
the coll, or in - the gloom of the
prisoii, by thought, by self-exami
nation, make the ‘past, with its
crimes, its errors and its gorrows,
tho wery means by which tiey can
lift themselves into higher and
happier econditions. This work of
transmuting evil into goil is a
duty to be dorie by all conditions
of men, and it can be wrought out
&s well in the prison cell as in the
tighest and most honorable posi
tion; for when you do this you
work by the side of the Almighty.
All human exporience aceords
with the higher teachings of relig
ion, that holds out hope to men
who feel regret for every evil act.
I wish to eall your minds to that
amazing truth that there is a Be
ing who rules the world with such
benevolenee that he enables weak
“and erring mortals, if they will, to
turn their very sorrows and errors
i into sources of happiness.
We have many theories in these
days in which men try to tell us
how the world, acting upon certain
fixed laws, has made itself; that it
goes on by a progress that regards
nothing but certain rules of ad
vancements, regardless of all oth
er considerntions save their own
irresistible self-compelling prinei
ples. But here we have a trath
not only given us in Holy Writ,
but proved by our experience,
that mental regret will converta
material wrong into a blesfing, or,
| if the offender wills, it will make
the same a hundred fold more
Lurtful if he rejoices in his weong-
I doing, or hardens his heart against
regret. Materialism, evolution,
1 pantheism, or any of the theories
- which deny the government of an
intelligent God, are all phases of
fatalisno, and are eotfuted by tlis
Dawson, Ga., Thursday, January 18, 1883,
truth, that we can, by conforming
to his laws, which demand repen
tance, convert evil into good, or
by violating them make evil ten
fold more deadly and destractive.
We can, by our minds and senti
ments, change the influence of
material events, and vary the ac
tion of laws which govern the
world. If man, with all his weak
ness, can do this, it can only be
by the aid of a higher power
which shapes, direets, and rega
lates.

Maguetize the Bed.
A Gorman has occupisd many
years in sbtudying the art of bed
making, or rather bel placing.
Baron Reichenbach, the painsta
king German, maintains that in
properly placed beds will shorten
aman's life. He says:
If a mere magnet exercises an
influene» on sensitive persons, the
earth’s maguetism must certainly
make itsilf fcit on the nervous life
of man.
In whatever hemisphere you
may be, always sMep with your
feot to the equator, and let your
body lie “true as a needls to the

The baron seys the polar direc

importance for the proper cultiva
tion of the blood, and many dis

have been cured by simply plac
ing the bolster at a different point
of the compass from that it had

Prohibttion’s Spproach.
Knowing that the reign of whiskey
in Monroe county would end in ae
cordance with the result of the ballot
of that county, with the close of last
weck we had curiosity to sce how
ghastly and dismal a townlunder such
civcumstances would look. Conse
(uently we boarded the train and
went down to forsyth.
Notwithstanding the loweriug
clouds and the general gloominess
produced by failiug weather, there
was o giuile on the visage of every
one we wet, save one who had been
reveling till he had overtaken the
monkeys.
The result of the election is con
sidered a decided triamph for. pro
liibition, sinee but little was done in
the canvass to make votes for pro
lhil)ition, while the anti-prolubitiosn
15i8 were more than active.
We spoke with several gontlome
as to their opinions econcerning the
result to Forsyth aud to the county
and we found every oue confident
that a new era would be entered on
the first day of January 1883,
O.ie gentleman who said he had
always drank when he deswed, said:
“You cannot estimate the saving to
‘the county when you cousider the

all such results, to say nothing of the

Dainascus; Rawls, Gee, McQlain,
[aud Hightower of Arlington:
- Mr. Webb, has whiskey been sold
in Damascus for several yeirs?
Yes, nix siuce the war, up to last

How many bar-.o>ms during this

One and two. $

How long have you and Hightower
been in business there.
More than 12 years.
Avout what business have you
done ? :
About $35.000 yearly.
Do you think the sal: of whiskey
in the place was an advauiage to
vour business ? :
1 think it wa- an injury to us.
1o what way, sir?
By causiug customers to trade
recklessly, buying goods they bad
uo use for, buying more than they
coald pay for, an 1 in forcing good,
sober customera and lalies to stay
away often. |
Have you done a credit business
here? |
Yes. ;
Ln looking over your hooks, do you
obseive that men who trade whils in
whiskey ofteser full behind than |
others ? |
Yes, this is the case. Nearly all
axcessive whiskey drinkers fall be
hind sooner ug later. |
What do yoa think of the whiskey

after beine rid of it a few months ?
I cousider it an unmitigated evil,

Peaceable ani quiet, and to an
unusual degre, satisfactory. lundi
vidually, we have never kiiow setfle

tactory.
Doss closing the salocons bring
gain, socinlly aad worally, as far as
your observation zoes?
It does. We Licar here compara
tively no swoenrivy or obscenity.
Would your town vote whiskey
back if it conld ?
No, sir, not for several thousands
of doilars, a« an inducement.
Brother Rawls—Sir—How long
have the bar-rosms .nyour town been
closed ?
Since first of Sepltember.
L 5 the law forbidding the sale of
whiskey in your town strieily adbier
elto?
I tear not. ;
On what are your fears based ?
I see drunxen wen, sir,and I think
we are too poor to give liquor away
to any constderablo extent.
Is whiskey drunk to the extent it
was before the prohibitory law was
passed ?
OL, no. Ihave no idea of it.
Do you aitribute any decline in
trade and collections {visible) to the
clossing of the barrooms ?
1 do not. 5
How have trale and collections
been with you individually ?
Qaiet an 1 #olid ; up to the storm,
satisfactory. The deummers say we
are doing as well here as anywhere.
To what do you attribute the
general decline in trade, and that of
your place in particalar, if any
The bountiful ciops. KEverybods

No demand, no market. Cotton be |
ing the only thing we could raisc

Syrap can ba bought at 25 to 3u

that these bountiful provision cerops
keep some men from paying then
accounts. The reason tor which,
merchants will understand. Some
men pay from policy. Hoping to be
able to tive another year withont th
merchants, they pat their money into
ituprovements, or otherwise appro
priate it than by settling debts. A
other reason for the decline of trade
in our place is, we are not doing
aore tan hall the eredit business

If tliere are not ¢ many people

trin- 7 “Yoliness” is a cardinal docs
wine of tiethodism: And allow me to
wy to Lhe ladex, you quote. that his
“hrami le of potasiuw’ will not relieve
Methodism of holiness ; a “process of
caiting 2 of habitual sin, wouldeno
doubt ace vunplish this end. If that
is the “process of cooling” the lundex
recomiiends, it is 2 compleie antidose
to “holiness Has the Index experi
ence in this line, is the reason he can
treat a Bib.e conditihn of salvation, so
“eoolly” and flippantly?
3 It is not true that any eiass of
Methodists believe we can reach a state
of sactfieation above temptations, op
above the possibility of sioning. Our
Divine Lord was: temdted. Tt is
enough that *“the servant be as his
Lord ? We shall be liabie to tecipta
tion to the eund of probation, and ever
linble t¢ fail. Adam fell aud the holy
must take heed leat he fall, for it is on
ly ¢“Lie that endareth to the end that
shall be saved.” The “Index” may
believa in a state from which a man
cannot fall, bt the Methodist never.
. 1t iz not irue that Bishop Pierde
does uct believe that a Christian may
be lioly in this life, and live free from
conseious sin; for he is wost pronounc
ed upon this sabjeet. He says he was
made holy wore than thirty years ago,
“when he was first converted, and that
he has not evimitted a conscious sin
for more than thirty years.” Some of
neare nog go fort :ate in our experi
ence, sud obtained holiness as an after
vork, and a bigher st.te of grace and
couversion. Here is the only point of
lifferance between the bishop and *“the
hohuess brethren,” as they are called
on the holin:ss question,
5 It is wot true that “There isa
eivele of Methodist in Georgia who, de
mented by the holintss fever, are en.
gaged in prayving for the conversion of
Bishop Georgze P. Pierie.” No such
