A BEAUTIFUL REPLY.-A pious 3
old man was one day walking to
the sanctuary with a testament in
his hand, when a friend who met
him said
"Good morning, Mr.. Price
"Ah! good morning" replied
he 81 am reading my fathers will
as walk along"
"Well, what has he left you?"
said his friend.
"Why, he has bequeathed me
hundred fold in this life, and in
the world tocome, life everlasting"
1t was q word in season--his
Christian friend was in circum-
stances of aflliction, but went, home
comforted.

Disgusting.

We can go up town on almost
any night and find little boys not
much larger than a "piece OF
chalk" on stare; > yes, actually
some of them "dead drunk" Now
you may say that is none of our
business, but we think differently.
We think it our duty, as true
"Sons of Temperance" TO fight
whisky on every hand, and we in
tend to do so at all hazards. Eut
returning to the subject that is
before us-parents, what are you
thinking about? Do you want TO
see them stretched out drunk in
some filthy ditch, degraded before
all creation 2 If you do, you have
got them at the right school, for
just as certain as they possess
human nature, they will certainly
be drunkards. Oh, how can you
see your own darling boyin the
path to ruin, and not try to check
him? Surely you don't love him..
or you would keep him a: home
yes, keep him away from town at
night, keep him away, and save
him from ruin and yourself from
tears.

Mr. Wdllace-
DEAR SIR-As Inotircd | re.
quest in your paper for the news
of the different towns and coun-
ties, will give you a few of the
items of our section. Smithville
is small village situated in a
beautiful location on the bench
of Cumberland mountain. The
bench-by which tits surrounded is
barren, but produces we'll aud is
cheap. / will say to all who wish
to purchase land, there is a fine
here. 1t is a beautiful
level country and distinguished
for its pure water and health.
Smithville, the eoanty seat of
DeKalb, has one school of which
Prof A. @. Carnes is proprietor,
formerly q teacher in your town.
Seven stores, two saloons, two
blacksmith shops, two carpenters
shops and two tanyards; also
daily stage line running from Leb-
non to Sparta. 1t has about five
hundred inhabitants, making
very business little place. Circuit
Court has just adjourned. 1t was
in session tor II days; Judge Fite
presided. There were a great
many State cases on docket and
james FL. Morgan being Attorney
General, delivered one Of the best
speeches in behalf of a woman
upon whom rape was attempt
ed, | ever heard. He is high
minded, dignifed and well-educa-
ted man; therefore his remarks in
trying to sustain the virtue and
chastity of the weaker sex were.
eloquent and touched the sympa-
thies of every man with refined
feelings, and at the same time
aroused an indignation in the
bosom ofevery gentleman who has
mother, sister or wife. The man
by whom the outrage was com
mitted was found guilty and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for four
years. Also Colonels Cantrel and
Savage, (who were officers in the
late Confederate cause, and are
now distinguished lawyers) deliv-
cred eloquent and worthy speech
es in cases similar to that which
Morgan spoke on. There has
been a young man in Jail here
some five or six months for break
ing into a mans house at night,
while he was absent, trying to
make the lady of the house aecede
to his desires. She resisted his
as long as she could.
He at length murdered her with
an ak and wounded her little
very badly, left her as
he thought dead. But she was
spared to bring him to justice, and
related the circumstances before
the Court at this place. The
young man, whose name is John
Preswood, was found guilty of
murder in the first degree and
condemned to be hung on the 26th
of August, one mile from Smith
vile. The lady that he murdered
was Mrs. Billings. Yours truly,
d. Ii. WcOD.

The Rev. j. p. Stewart, of
Chicago, suggests that, as week
day amusements draw better
than the church, it would be a
good idea to dramatize the BIZ
bic, and give a matinee and
night performance every Sun
day. The suggestion is a good
one-for Chicago. \ repre-
sentation of Adam and Eve in
costume, or a dramatized ver-
sion of Solomon's Irritation with
the Queen of Sheba, would
doubtless prove more accepta-
bic to the Chicagonese than dry
disquisitions on doctrinalpoints.

The Lesson.

Varied conclusions are being
drawn from the visitation of great
calamities to various pats of the
world at the present time, or rather
of the past two week. Some regard
the devastating fires, that have
swept over cities and country, as
typical of the manner in which the
world will finally be consumed, and
also that these are but the kindlings
of the universal confagration which
is speedily to follow, and in which
the earth will melt with the teryent
heat, and neither root nor branch
OF any thing be left. Others dis
miss the belief that these calamities
have any relation to the final term
ination of all things, but see in them
the direct workings of a providence
who is scOurging the wicked for
their transgressions, and visiting
wrath upon mankind for forget
ting Him in their haste for the
things of the world, and even as He
rained destruction upon the cities
of the plain, so he is making mani
fest his displeasure in these latter
days. That these theories are not
true, perhaps none of us are clothed
with power or wisdom to say, but
the intelligence Of this day generally
recognizes the workings of Provi-
dence by human agencies, and what
ever moral lesson may be learned,
there are also practical lessons which
admonish care andcaution againsthu-
man carelessness and malice, for to
these causes may be attributed to
great extent the combination of dis
asters which have recently visited the
country as well as many other calami-
ties ofasimilar nature which come up
on us. The winds Of heaven we cannot
stay, nor can we always escape their
danger, but even these are regulated
by laws which may be understood.
1t is, at all events, safe, whatever
may precede or follow, to exercise
care on our own part, and guard
against the malice and carelessness /
of Others. Ifsuch would be exer-
cised many of the misfortunes, that
now befall us, might be averted.

Something to Fret About

Democratic papers were never
known to be suited with the acts of
a Republican. It would not be con
sistent with their creed. Just now
thay are busy condemning the course
pursued by General Sheridan in Chi
cago. Radical usurpation, military
arbitration and the like, are the
terms applied. They feel outraged
that he should dare to point bayo-
nets at thieves and incendiaries, and
are generally mad that he has sue
ceeded so admirably in bringing or
der and safety out of the chaos that
prevailed for time in that stricken
city. He has demonstrated that he
was just the man for the place, and
the people of chicago are not slow
in awarding to him the need OF
praise which he has earned.

In Trouble.

Pious Jim Fisk is in deep trouble
again. His life is much like a
troubled sea. He is never at rest, on
account of the prosecutions which
ungrateful humanity heap upon him.
Iniunctions are ever swarming
about him, and when he weeps over
the wickedness of the world and
would pray, no place is granted him.
But this time trouble in another
form is visiting him. In innocent
Inconsistencies of betrayal, James
wrote sundry tender epistles to one
Helen Josephine Mansfield. Hesent
her papers and other documents, all
of which are in her possession.
Judge Pratt of Brooklyn ordered
these papers be used for purposes
against him. James, declaring that
if exposed they would subject him
to public criticism and scandal, has
procured an injunction and re-
ceiver has been appointed. All that
is required to make James a martyr
is to tie him to a stake.

Opening of a New Era in the History
Of MOTunOndOm


The fimsy covering which has at
tempted to conceal the iniquity Of
polygamy and adultery, under the
pretense of religion, in a section of
our country, seems likely to be torn
off and the fagrant vice wiped out,
at least in part. The first instance
in which the authority of the laws
Of the country have been asserted
over the crime of righteousness with
in the realm of AIormondom, oc-
Cured in the case Of Hawkins, who
was arraigned before the United
States Court in Utah for polygamy,
on complaint Of his lawful wife, and
on Saturday last found found guilty
of the crime with which he was
charged. This conviction establishes
a precedent which, if followed up,
will wipe out a blot which has long
been a stain upon our civilization
and christianity. This system of
crime is now at the mercy of the
legal wives of Mormon offenders,
and they have the power to obtain
redress at the hands of the courts
for their wrongs. Our community
would be incensed to a degree be-
yond restraint, should a denomina-
ton spring up in our midst and
under the name of some fictitious re-
ligion, purpetrate deeds of crime
even less execreable then those for
which Utah is famed. And yet
Mormonism has fourished under
the shelter Of religious freedom, and
its crimes had been licensed by the
federation of our government. There
is cause for being profoundly thank
full that United States officials have,
at last, gained the courage to wage
war against this iniquity, and it is to
be hoped that it will not cease until
the doers of this evil shall be forced
to disband and come out from under
their iniquitous retreat.

came unmanagable. In many other
sections of this state fires are raging
in the woods, and large amount of
fences have been destroyed. We find
that in nearly every instance where
fires have ragged in the country they
have been started by carelessness.
An account of fires in this immedi-
ate vicinity will be found on another

The Coming Woman

Victoria, and a score of others of
her school, can now take a back
seat, for while they have been act
ing as poor substitutes for the com
ing woman, the zeal genuine char
acter has been working this way,
and has at last appeared in the per-
son of girl who was burned out
at Chicago. After extricating her
self from the debris, she managed
to procure writing materials, and
in a letter to her lover at Washing
ton saws: "You would have been
surprised to have seen me the next
morning after the fire, with pair
Of Jim's old pants on, one slipper,
one shoe and a Waterproof cloak"
That would make a splendid we'd
ding suit. Wouldn't it? Well
venture to say that girl has more
brains than ehignon, and if her
lover will only be fool enough to
''regret the unfortunate circum-
stances that compel him to with
draw, &c, she can yet be president
or school marm, if she lives. We
know that Remsburg would take an
active part in the campaign.

To those qualities which achieve success IN
whatever sphere thSy may be cast, whether
professional or mercantile, we are always hap
pv to ascribe due credit. The man, who,
girded for conflict and contest, marks out a
course of action or line of conduct and pur-
sue it with determination and ardor, allowing
no obstacles to change his final purpose, no
discouragements to thwart his ends, merits
our esteem and is generally certain to receive
proper praise. Such men invaribly triumph
