God will preserve the life of this
honored representative of Ameri
can Methodism, until In still more
advanced age, when no longer able
/ to stand up in your Church councils
and speak words of wisdom, he may
at least linger like st. John at Eph-
esus, and stand up in the assembly
Of the saints, and stretching out his
thin hand over the congregation,
say, Little children, love one an
other.o My dear and honored IA
Their Ito DIR. PIERCE, bring you the
special greetings. / earnestly pray
that God may give you a serene
and brilliant sunset, and an alum
dant entrance into Ills supernal
glory! ~ And so He did, for the
grand old man went home, as sinks
the sun-god when he crosses the
ocean-strealn in his golden cup, on
ly to be borne to the brighter beau
ties of the Further Shore!

and we must close. His preaching
was not sensational, in the modern
sense of that word, and it was en-
tirely free from claptrap. He re-
minded you rather of Vulcan at the
flaming forge of thought, than of
Mercury in his winged shoes. Yet
the full-voiced rhetoric of master
mouth was his, when he chose to
use it. Like Apollos, he was an ell
oquent man, and mighty in the
Scriptures, and like Paul, he
preached from an ample experience.
He has fallen, but as a shock of
corn ripe for the Heavenly garner.
He has fallen. but as the pilgrim
when he lays aside his cross and |
takes up the crown.
He has fallen, but as the tired
man when the long days work is
done, and rest is sweet.
He has fallen! For almost nine
ty-fve years citizen of earth, he
has risen to be an heir of glory for
ever. Mrs. SUE f. MOONEY.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-11-12
general" Houston,

A great many will remember the negro
barber who used to be located 10 Dayel-
port and who made trips from that city to
Rock Island to accom- modate few eusto-
mers on this side. He finally rented
stand on West Eagle street, this city under
the old Rock Island House, and was doing
well, when he got into difficulty with his
father in-lsw, resulting finally in quarrel
at West Liberty, Iowa, and in which the
father ir-law was murdered by Houston.
The General was captured, tried and
convicted. and sentenced to Fort Madison
for lite. Since that time but little has
been heard from him The Davenport
Democrat says:
"A Dayenporter who had business at
the Fort Madison penltentiary, last week,
states that he had a talk with General
Houston, formerly colored barber of this
city. who is 10 prison for life for murder
ing his father-in-law at West Liberty.
Houston is ''tonsorial artist" In the prison
and isn't the jovial. happy-natured
fellow he used to be. by a good deal. He
is losing his flesh and looks care Vorn.
| He breads to be alone in his cell nights
he cant sleep; as sure as he falls asleep,
80 sure does ne see his murdered father
in law, pale and CHASTITY, starring at him
with fierce eyes, even in the day time be
imagines that his father-ln-law Kisses in
ears his. He is allowed to sleep in the fore
noon or afternoon-but he always wants
somebody IN his room when he lies down;
and frequently when he falls asleep, it
will not be long before he will start up 10
terror and run out of the Office. Houston
was very superstitious when he was In
| Davenport-and that feeling has the mas
terry Of him now.
Houston, it will be remembered when
he was arrested. almost went into spasms
when put into cell and then made con-
fession. Now the horror Of the crime
committed keeps looming up before him
AID when alone, the scene is wildly pic
tured n his fruitful imagination. A guilty
conscience needs 20 aocuser. SO with
Houston, tAo paugs Of remUrsc weigh.
heavily on his mind.
