# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Mob Violence Still Prevailing in Kentucky

From the New York Independent. Mob Violence Still Prevailing in Kentucky.
Extracts from a letter from Rev. John G. Fee, dated Boone, Madison Co., Ky., Aug. 14, 1857.
The mob still rages. The court came on. The Judge of that county (Rockcastle) threw his influence on the side of the mob, gave up his court-house to them and the Slave Power to pass resolutions against us. The party, as we suppose, have burned down the house rented of bro. Parker, [where meetings have been held since the meeting-house was burned, and where Mr. Fee was lately mobbed,] during his absence from home, at night, and the family (wife and four small children) narrowly escaped, saving but little. The friends at Cummins’s are alarmed for their property and persons. Quite a number of men, last week, at court, swore publicly that they would take my life. The friends at Green’s and at Cummins’s have refused to open their houses for the present, much as they desire to hear me. I had started last Monday to go and see the people around Green’s, and get them quietly to go to meeting. I found that the Grand Jury had risen without any presentment, the mob was not restrained, the people are not willing to open the house. The posts of danger are now closed to me. I trust that there will be a re-action soon. The flame is fed in Rockcastle by a clan of Southern (South Carolina) boarders, gamblers and ruffians, who come up every season. These encourage and treat to whiskey a reckless class, who are cats-paws for others.
The address which I published has been read with great avidity, and many persons say it has done much good.
We had a very encouraging meeting last Saturday at the Glade. Good resolutions were passed against mob law, in favor of liberty of speech and press, and several excellent speeches were made. I think most of the friends will stand firm. One man, who is a pro-slavery man, but a personal friend of mine, and who went in search of my person while I was supposed to be in the hands of the mob, was yesterday surrounded by the mobocrats at Mount Vernon. I have not yet heard the result. It is thought that this will turn the violence into the slaveholding party. I go to help a Baptist minister next week. The ministry ought to be visited. I have had my mind drawn for months to this subject. I feel that prayer has been heard for us.
My condition is at present perilous, and my wife is almost overcome with anxiety about it. I am worn down with continued riding, am not vigorous in health, and am pressed with care, but have the rest of faith. I hope that God is my friend, and will overrule all for good, and give me wisdom and grace. Pray for me.

Section X. ( Pauloma Parva continued. )
Sauti said:—"And Ruru on hearing those words replied, 'My wife, dear to me as life, was bit by a snake; upon which, I made, O snake, a dreadful vow, viz, that I would kill every ​snake that I might see. Therefore shall I smite thee and thou shalt be deprived of life.'
"And the Dundubha replied, 'O Brahmana, they are other snakes that bite man. It behoveth thee not to slay Dundubhas who are serpents only in name. Subject with other serpents to the same calamities but not sharing their good fortune, in woe the same but in joy different, the Dundubhas should not be slain by thee for thou canst judge between right and wrong.'"
Sauti continued:—"And the Rishi Ruru hearing these words of the serpent, and seeing that it was perplexed with fear besides being really of the Dundubha species, killed it not. And Ruru, the possessor of the six attributes, comforting the snake addressed it, saying, 'Tell me fully, O Snake, who art thou thus metamorphosed?' And the Dundubha replied, 'O Ruru! I was formerly a Rishi of name Sahasrapat. And it is by the curse of a Brahmana that I have been metamorphosed into a snake.' And Ruru asked, 'O thou best of Snakes, for what wast thou cursed by a Brahmana in wrath? And how long also shall thy form continue so?'"
And so ends the tenth Section of the Pauloma of the Adi Parva.
# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section LXXXVI

Section LXXXVI. ( Sambhava Parva continued. )
Vaisampayana said, "King Yayati the son of Nahusha, having thus installed his dear son on the throne, became exceedingly happy, and entered into the woods to lead the life of a hermit. And having lived for some time in the forest in the company of Brahmanas, observing many rigid vows, eating of fruits and roots, patiently bearing privations of all sorts, the monarch at last ascended to heaven. And having ascended to heaven he lived there in bliss. But soon, however, he was hurled down by Indra. And it hath been heard by me, O king, that though hurled from heaven, Yayati, without reaching the surface of the earth, stayed in the firmament. I have heard that some time after he again entered the region of the celestials in the company of Vasuman, Ashtaka, Pratarddana, and Shivi."
Janamejaya then said, "I desire to hear from thee in detail why Yayati having first obtained admission into heaven was hurled therefrom and why also he gained re-admittance. Let all this, O Brahmana, be narrated by thee in the presence of these Brahmana sages. Yayati the lord of the earth was, indeed, like the chief of the celestials. The progenitor of the extensive race of the Kurus, he was of the splendour of the Sun! I desire to hear in full the story of his life both in heaven and on earth, illustrious as he was, of world-wide celebrity, and of wonderful achievements!"
Vaisampayana said, "Indeed, I shall recite to thee the excellent story of Yayati's adventures on earth and in heaven. That story is sacred and destroyeth the sins of those that hear it.
King Yayati the son of Nahusha, having installed his youngest son Puru on the throne after casting his sons with Yadu for their eldest amongst the Mlechchas, entered the woods to lead the life of a hermit. And the king eating of fruits and roots lived for sometime in the forest. With mind and passions under complete control, the king gratified by ​sacrifices both the pitris and the gods. And he poured libations of clarified butter into fire according to the rites prescribed for those leading the Vanaprasta mode of life. And the illustrious one entertained guests and strangers with fruits of the forest and clarified butter, while he himself supported life by gleaning scattered corn-seeds. And the king led this sort of life for a full thousand years. And observing the vow of silence and with mind under complete control; he passed one full year living upon air alone and without sleep. And he passed another year practising the severest austerities in the midst of four fires around and the sun overhead. And living upon air alone, he stood erect for six months on one leg. And then the king, of sacred deeds, ascended to heaven covering heaven as well as the Earth (with the fame of his achievements.)
And so ends the eighty-sixth Section in the Sambhava of the Adi Parva.
# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section LXXXVII

Section LXXXVII. ( Sambhava Parva continued. )
Vaisampayana said, "While that king of kings dwelt in heaven—the home of the celestials—he was reverenced by the gods, the Sadhyas, the Marutas, and the Vasus. Of sacred deeds, and mind under complete control, the monarch used to repair now and then from the abode of the celestials unto the region of Brahma. And it hath been heard by me that he dwelt for a long time in heaven.
"One day that best of kings Yayati went to Indra and there in course of conversation the lord of the Earth was asked by Indra as follows:—
'What didst thou say, O king, when thy son Puru took thy decrepitude on earth and when thou didst bestow upon him thy kingdom?'
"Yayati answered, 'I told him that the whole country between the rivers Ganges and the Yamuna is thine. That is, indeed, the central region of the Earth while the outlying regions are to be the dominions of thy brothers. I also ​told him that those without anger are ever superior to those under its sway: those disposed to forgive are ever superior to the unforgiving. Man is superior to the lower animals. Among men again the learned are superior to the unlearned. If wronged thou shouldst not wrong in return. One's wrath, if disregarded, burneth one's own self; while he that regardeth it not taketh away all the virtues of him that exhibiteth it. Never shouldst thou pain others by cruel speeches. Never subdue thy foes by despicable means; and never utter such scorching and sinful words as may torture others. He that pricketh as with thorns men by means of hard and cruel words, thou must know ever carrieth in his mouth a Rakshasa. Prosperity and luck fly away at his very sight. Thou shouldst ever keep the virtuous before thee as thy models: thou shouldst ever in retrospect compare thy acts with those of the virtuous: thou shouldst ever disregard the hard words of the wicked. Thou shouldst ever make the conduct of the wise the model upon which thou art to act thyself. The man hurt by the arrows of cruel speech emitted from one's lips, weepeth day and night. Indeed, these strike at the core of the body. Therefore the wise never fling these around at others. There is nothing in the three worlds by which thou canst worship and adore the dieties better than by kindness, friendship, charity, and sweet speeches unto all. Therefore shouldst thou always utter words that soothe, never those that scorch. And thou shouldst regard those that deserve thy regards; thou shouldst always give but never beg.'"
Thus ends the eighty-seventh Section in the Sambhava of the Adi Parva.
# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section LXXXVIII

Section LXXXVIII. ( Sambhava Parva continued. )
Vaisampayana said, "After this, Indra again asked Yayati, 'Thou hadst retired into the woods, O king, after accomplishing all thy duties. O Yayati son of Nahusha, I would ask thee, with whom art thou equal in ascetic austerities?' Yayati then answered, 'O Vasava, I do not, in ascetic austerities, ​behold my equal among men, the clestials, the Gandharvas, and the great Rishis!' Indra then said, 'O monarch, because thou dost disregard those that are thy superiors, thy equals, and even thy inferiors, without, in fact, knowing their real merits, therefore, thy virtues have suffered a diminution and thou must fall from heaven!' Yayati then said, 'O Sakra, if, indeed, my virtues have really sustained a diminution and I must on, that account fall down from heaven, I desire, O chief of the celestials, that I may at least fall among the virtuous and the honest.' Indra then replied, 'Yes O king, thou shalt fall among those that are virtuous and wise; and thou shalt acquire also much renown. And after this experience of thine, O Yayati, never more disregard those that are thy superiors or even thy equals.'"
Vaisampayana continued, "Upon this, Yayati fell from the region of the celestials. And as he was falling, he was beheld by the foremost of royal sages Ashtaka, the protector of his own religion. And Ashtaka beholding him enquired, 'Who art thou, O youth, of beauty equal to that of Indra himself, in splendour blazing as the fire, thus falling from high! Art thou that foremost of sky-ranging bodies—the sun—emerging from dark masses of clouds? Indeed, beholding thee falling from the solar course, possessed of immeasurable energy and the splendour of fire or the sun, every one is exercised as to what it is that is so falling, and is, besides, deprived of consciousness! Beholding thee in the path of the celestials, possessed of energy like that of either Sakra, Surya, or Vishnu, we have approached thee to ascertain the truth! If thou hadst first asked us to who we are, we would never have been guilty of the incivility of asking thee first. We now ask thee who thou art and why dost thou approach hither? Let thy fears be dispelled; let thy woes and afflictions cease! Thou art now in the presence of the virtuous and the wise. Even Sakra himself—the slayer of Vala—can not here do thee an injury! O thou of the prowess of the chief of the celestials, the wise and the virtuous are the support of their brethren in grief. Here there are none but the wise and virtuous like thee, assembled together! Therefore stay thou here in peace. ​Fire alone hath power to give heat. The Earth alone hath power to infuse life into the seed. The Sun alone hath power to illuminate everything. So thee guest alone hath power to command the virtuous and the wise.'"
Thus ends the eighty-eighth Section in the Sambhava of the Adi Parva.
# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section VI

Section VI. ( Pauloma Parva continued. )
Sauti said:—"O Brahmana, having heard these words of the god of fire, the Rakshasa assumed the form of a boar, and seizing the lady carried her away with the speed of the wind, even of thought. Then the child of Bhrigu residing in her body ​enraged at such violence, dropped from his mother's womb, for which he obtained the name of Chyavana. And the Rakshasa perceiving the infant drop from the mother's womb, shining like the sun, quitted his grasp of the woman and fell down and was instantly converted into ashes. And the beautiful Pulomā distracted with grief, O Brahmana of the Bhrigu race, took up her offspring Chyavana the son of Bhrigu and walked away. And Brahmā, the Grand-father of all, himself saw her, the faultless wife of his son, weeping with eyes full of tears. And the Grand-father of all comforted her who was wedded to his son. And of the drops of tears which fell from her eyes was formed a great river. And that river began to follow the footsteps of the wife of the great ascetic Bhrigu. And the Grand-father of the worlds seeing that river follow the path of his son's wife gave it a name himself, and he called it Vadhusarā. And it passeth by the hermitage of Chyavana. And in this manner was born Chyavana of great ascetic power, the son of Bhrigu.
"And Bhrigu saw his child Chyavana and its beautiful mother. And the Rishi in a rage asked her, 'By whom wast thou made known to that Rakshasa resolved to carry thee away? O thou of agreeable smiles, the Rakshasa could not know thee for my wife. Therefore tell me who it was that told the Rakshasa so, inorder that I may curse him from anger.' And Pulomā replied, 'O possessor of the six attributes, I was discovered to the Rakshasa by Agni (the god of fire). And he bore me away crying like the Kurari (female Osprey.) And it was only by the ardent splendour of this thy son that I was rescued; for the Rakshasa (seeing this infant) let me go and himself falling to the ground was turned into ashes.'"
Sauti continued:—"Bhrigu upon hearing this account from Pulomā became exceedingly enraged. And in excess of passion the Rishi cursed Agni, saying, 'Thou shalt eat of all things.'"
So ends the sixth Section called "the curse on Agni" in the Adi Parva.
