Going Out.

We hnve oftentimes heard the remark
from church members, that if certain top
les were discussed in the pulpit they
would " 90 out" The dreaded topics are
generally political, or those that concien-
tiously loyal men would interpret as
such, although the minister might just as
conscientiousty believe that he was deal
ing in legitimate gospel. When it
comes to pass that hearers ofcertain polit-
ical proclivities--all South-side, for a
wonder, which it occurs to any one to
consider whether, the thing is purely dis
interested and spiritual-shall dictate to
the preacher what subjects not to touch,
and threaten him of @going OUT In the
midst of his arguments, what chance has
reason in such religion2 What a bitter
prejudice it is that pre-resolves not to
hear certain principles discussed !-princi-
pies, too, that are absorbing the peoples
thoughts by day and night. How it
must inspire a preacher to hedge him off
from the examination of any given sub
ject, lest it should start some weak-mind-
ed hearer up from his pew and out from
the church How childish eff my
minister breaches politics I'll go out. y
No matter; if he be true man he'll
preach Gods truth, whether you go out
or stay in whether you think it politics
or Gospel, or whether you are competent
to tell the difference between them
Your going out will not leave the church
brainless or heartless, if it should earless I;
neither will it in the least change the ma
ture of Gospel truth, or curtail a preach

feeble candle, whose wick, for want of

ruin in all its sickly flame, has "gone OUT
but God has let his sun shine go on, ever
since He said "Let there be light" And

The sun rises, and nature rejoiees, and

of old, ''Cry aloud, spare not" Keep no

your light, may say, "I'll go out" Out

ASHTABULA, OHIO, SATURDAY, OCT. 90 1866.
A Shocking Gallows Scene.

A man by the name Of Eggleston was
publicly executed on Friday last, short
distance from Newport, KY, for the
murder of Captain Menter, of Menter's
Band, on the 9th of June last. Fifteen
thousand people, of all ages, sexes and
conditions, drawn there by a morbid Gu
riosity which is disgrace to human ma
ture, and which is fostered and developed
by such scenes as that of which we are
speaking, gathered to witness the execu-
ton. The prisoner was taken to the
scaffold, and the rope adjusted about his
neck. After he had spoken to the crowd,
the trap was sprung, and the culprit was
let down, but, instead of having his neck
broken, the rope slipped, and he was pre-
cipitated below, mangled and bleeding,
He was carried upon the scaiiold- being.
too badly hurt to walk-when he said:-
"Gcntlemen, do not let this thing occur
again." The rope was re-adjusted, and
this time the work was done, and the re-
quircments of the law were met.
Whatever may be the opinion Of men,
regarding the death penalty, as to its just
tice or necessity, or divine ordination, it
has come to be a settled conviction in the
minds of most people that public execu-
tions, instead of having an effect to deter
men from the commission of crime, (the
ostensible design of their being made
public,) tend to create and strengthen
that very propensity which it is sought
to destroy.
Thee exhibitions, disgusting to the
moral sense of him whose moral sense is
the controlling element of his nature, con
stitutes the aliment that fattens and in
flames the baser passions of him whose
base passions prcponderate in hiS nature,
and which might but for such sights, have
lain dormant. A great many States have
forbidden, by statutory enactment, public
executions, and it is to be hoped the day
will soon come when this relic of barbar-
ism will be wiped from the statute-hooks
of every State. A more truthful sermon
could not have been preached, than were
the dying words of this same Eggleston,
as he stood before those fifteen thousand
people, his soul about to go to its great
account, and his past career of crime
looming in blackness and frowning upon
him. He said:
GA great many have asked me if I was
going to leave history of my life to be
published. | think it would exert bad
influence to do so. 1t has had bad in
tiuence on my life to read the lives of
criminals, as they are written for sensa-
tions, and | feel that it would have bad
influence upon many young men to read
the whole of my life. have requested
the Rev. Mr.. Spillman not to publish
what l have given him. Now my friends,
| feel truly sorry to see so many people
here, for / feel that most of them are
here through idle curiosity. l feel that
they don't realize that they have got to
die themselves,and that many die on the
gallows like me. ] am very sorry to see
so many here to look at this, and to see
so many women and children here to-day.
= feel to day that if you all loved
God you would not be here"

[From the Binghamton Republican,
Grim. Con. and Shooting.

The Oquaga House in Deposit was the
scene of an affair that has created consid-
cradle excitement both in that place and
in Binghamton, one of the parties being
a resident of the latter place. 1t is a sto-
ry of woman's folly and mans seducing
wiles. 1t seems a gentleman of New
York sent his fairer, and as he supposed
better half, to Volonia Springs to rusti-
cate during the warm days of the sum
mer months, and while there she became
acquainted with gallant and fascinating
resident of Binghamton, who was also
there spendinga a few weeks with his
wife, whose health needed recuperation.
This acquaintance ripened into friendship
and from friendship into intamacy, which
eliminated in sad affair for all parties,
at Deposit on Saturday night. The cool
weather we have had the past few weeks
rendered New York comparatively endu-
rable and free from danger in the way of
epidemics, and the husband was desirous
for the return of his fair spouse. She
wrote to him that she would leave Satur-
day night for home, and accordingly
Saturday night found her at Deposit on
her way thither. Some how or other she
was met there by her new made acquain-
tance, who engaged room opposite the
one occupied by the lady. The husband
who had ended his week of toll, and anx-
ious to rejoin the absent wife, left New
York early in the evening and reached
Deposit late at night.
Repairing to the hotel, he found her
name registered upon the books, and
learning the number of the room, took a
light and went up to it, the door of which
was opened by the lady, who likewise
very unceremoniously put out the light
he carried, and otherwise appeared very
much disconnected. A light was again
struck, when the husband alleges he saw
some one under the bed, and drawing his
pistol he fred at him, but his wife knock
ed his arm down as he shot, and the ball
took effect in the seducer's knee. Before
another shot was fired at him he had
reached his room and shut the door, but
the thin pannelling rendered little resist
ance to bullets, and a random shot took
effect in the breast, passing through and
lodging under the shoulder blade. Both
shots are very serious, but not danger,
Gus. DIR. Burr left for Deposit this morn.
ing to extract the balls. 1t is feared the
shot in the knee will necessitate the am.
putation Of the leg. The injured hus.
band started for home on the next train,
leaving his unfaithful spouse to follow
her own inclination. '7'
The story told by the husband varies a
little from that of the injured man, who
says he was standing behind the door
when the husband entered, and in his en-
deavor to make his escape from the room
fell, when he received the first shot.

SELECT POETRY.
THE LOVED NOT LOST.

How strange IL seems, with so much gone
OF life and love, to still live on
All, brother, only and thou
Are left of all that circle now,-
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful freight paled and shone.
Henceforward, listen as we will,
The voices of that hearth are still;
Look where we may the wide earth ore,
Those lighted faces shine no more.
We tread the paths their feet baye worn,
We sit beneath their orchard trees,
We hear them like the hum of bees
And rustic of the bladed corn;
We turn the pages that they read,
Their written words they linger o'er,
But in the sun they cast no shade,
No voice is heard, no sigh is made,
No step is on the conscious floorl
Yet Love will dream, and faith will trust,
(Since He knows our need is just,)
That somehow, somewhere meet we must.
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through the cypress trees
Who, hopeless lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the-mournful marble play
Who hath not learned in hours of faith,
The truth to flesh and sense unknown,
That Life is ever Lord of Death,
And Love Can never lose its own =!

Romance in Real Life,

Less than year ago, in an interior
city In F'rance. young but hopeful stu
dent was completing the theological stud
les which would fit him for the ministry.
He had laborered hard to learn all the
why's and whercfores of Biblical lore, and
when the day of examination came,
and the professors had pronounced him
worthy to take charge of any parish he
might choose, he took the train for Paris,
for week Of rest and respite from the
dullplOddings Of students life. While
there he meta charming woman, young,
vivacious, as all French women are, who,
by her soft, seductive glances, made him
forget the vows of the church and the
duty which he owed to himself Though
she had already a husband, the two
agreed to cross the ocean, and unite their
lives destiny on this side of the water
They reached New York about two
months ago, where they resided for some
time, when the student becoming tired OF
his "lady love-" took a train for the west.
He came to Detroit, and remained here
for several weeks. The woman, learning
from some source that he was here, fol
lowed, and Sturday met him on the street.
After long and somewhat violent
conversation, they decided to go West
together, but as the train started, the
theological student concluded that he
would not go, and jumped from the train.
His companion not to be left alone, fol-
lowed his example, and quite an exciting
chase was the result. When our report
er left the scene of action, the pursuer
had captured the pursued, and if he evades
her, it must be by some more cunning
dodge than the last one tried.

Andrew johnson is always appealing

Andrew johnson is always appealing
to his record. While swinging around
the circle, in his recent electioneering
tour, he appealed to his record about one
hundred and fifty times. This would be
all very well if he would tell us which
record he refers to. He has three rec
eEas. One of them tells how Andrew
johnson supported breckenridge in 1860,
and helped to kill Douglass. Another is
filed with letters and speeches promising
to make treason odious, and setting
himself up as the Moses of the colored
race. The third is embraced in the veto
of the Civil Rights Bill s in the New Or
leans massacre, and the recent speeches in
his electioneering tour. Which record
does he refer to?

1t has been said that the difference be-
tween carriage-wheel and carriage
horse is, that one goes better when it is
tired, and the other doesn't.
Punch has written to Mr. Darwin to
inquire if it is possible under the theory
ofdevelopment, for abay-horse to become
sea horse.
