Tho ninctcenth century has its martyrs.
The brotherhood OF heroes is immortal.
Brave mcn are all in the right line Of the

bosom such filial spirits. Whom the gods
love die early. Earth could not refine
them. The atmosphere of heaven is better

country begins to suspect that the South

But my friend, would it not be better to
put them where they cannot do any hurt
first Catch the assassin, jug him, and then
pour into his poor soul, if possible, the
milk of human kindness, but if he will
not let you, and you cannot succeed, put
the cork into the jug and let the ugly fell

measure. We have been playing the game

tormented. And ought they not to be?
don't get that portion of the Mississippi mob
that wantonly and devilishly committed
those murders, what is he good for? And
if there is no hell for such fellows ought
we not to petition the Almighty to make
one? And no fool OF place neither. Let
it be hot, and if wild beasts dance jig
there let it be MS the Bible SAYS, amid the
fire and smoke that smells of birthstone,
with weeping and wnIling and gnashing of
teeth. Ii you don't like it stay away and
cultivate the homely virtues. ANXIOUS.
