pened to our good friends A. F. Nelson
and G. S. Dickson, some time ago, in

lot of cattle. and it became necessary to
start the drove on Sunday, in order to
reach the ferry and get them over as
soon as desired. While driving along the
preacher of that circuit overlook them,
and with sadness of countenance char
acteristic of those good people who detect
friends in mean business, solemnly re-
marked: Boys, you're driving them cat
tie to hell" AS they were driving the
cattle to Jackson, they didn't know ex-
actly how to take his remark.

The extremes to which vice is permit
ted to go in many places gives some OF
the old-timers opportunity and grounds
for comparing these times with the "good
old days." and drawing comparisons
which sometimes puzzle one, and almost
convince him that times are becoming
almost unbearable. But lines are drawn
now, just as in the olden times. Our first
recollection of Jackson is that the dogge-
ries were the liveliest institutions of the
town. Almost everybody went to these
places, and the grocery-store ever had its
back room. fitted up as bar. Liquor was
cheaper, and men did not hesitate to make
frequent visits in broad daylight to the
whisky shops. AS to this branch of vice
there has been only this change-that
man who goes into doggery now feels
that he is doing something degrading.
While he may find some of his neighbors
and friends there, he cannot but feel that
the place is only fit for the lowest and
most degraded specimens of humanity.
As to another branch of vice-the bawdy
houses-they treated them a little differ
emily then. Up on Columbia street, at
the intersection of Pearl, stood an old log
house, which was occupied by an old wo-
man named "Cruthers," and number of
girls. This den soon became nuisance
in the neighborhood, and efforts were
made to run it out. The den was iber-
ally treated to midnight brick-bats, and
different kinds of efforts made to render
its abode unpleasant. But it stood against
oil ha cto Of ind nDn ninhf
a new plan was adopted. A wagon shop
stood where the residence of S. E. Brook
ins now stands, and there was a liberal
supply of tar to be obtained there, as well
as at the grocery, in the present residence
of Samuel Baker. A quantity was secured,
also liberal supply of feathers, and a
good stout fence-rail. Armed with these
conveniences number of strong-minded
and strong-armed ladies called upon the
old woman, took her out, compelled her |
to accept the present they had brought in |
the shape of new cloak" and gave her |
to understand that there was nobody |
holding her, and that her speedy depar-
ture 5from town would in no wise be
hindered. This hint was sufficient, and |
the den was broken up, at once and for
ever. The victim of this neighborly call
went from here to Portsmouth, where,
we believe, she did not improve any in
morals. The strength of this mob lay in
the fact that it was composed of the best
ladies in the place, who became disgusted
with the fact that men would permit
such den to remain for single hour in
the place. The curse of the ladies seemed
to hang about the spot Some years after,
the old den was torn down.

When the kingdom of Judah was brok-
en- up, under the short-sighted Jehoiakim,
| and the people carried in captivity to
Babylon, number of young princes
| were selected, on account of their beauty
and intelligence, to dwell in the kings
palace. There were four in this group,
one being Daniel, who decided to live
faithful to the God of Israel, and refused
to engage in the pleasures of the Baby
lonish feasts. 1t was thought this would
bring upon them the wrath of the King,
but Daniel soon attained great distinc-
tion with the King, by reason of his great
intelligence, Interpreting the Kings WIS.,
ions, and becoming trusted adviser. He
lived to witness the return of his people
from captivity, B. G. 536, but remained in
Chaldee until his death, on account of his
extreme age.
Daniel asked that the four might be
proved" by being fed upon pulse re-
ferring to a vegetable food. This was
done, and proved vastly better than the
rich food and liquors of the Kings feasts.
Their countenances showed greater fresh
ness and vigor than those living on richer
viands. The four were specially gifted,
Daniel having power to interpret dreams.
In those days dreams had greater signif-
icance than now, as the spirit of God was
bestowed in this way in many instances.
Dreams are not considered worthy of
consideration in these days.
At the end of period of training in
the knowledge of the Chaldeans, they
were brought before King Nebuchadnez-
Ear, who, upon examining them found
that they possessed more knowledge than
all the magicians and astrologers of the
Chaldeans. Because their visions were
not based upon superstition, or ignorance,
but of that clearness and beauty born of
God. Daniel continued in that kingdom
until the beginning of the reign of King
Cyrus, the conquerer of the Chaldeans,
and the emancipation of the Jews. Daniel
was perhaps between eighty and ninety
years of age at his accession.
The life of Daniel is noble example
for any Young man to follow. His
wholesome manner of eating, and more
especially his temperate habits, would
make the life of any man pure, from
ph ysical standpoint, while his faithful
ness in spiritual matters would beautify
the life of to-day. In our day such re-
quest as Daniel made to the Prince of
the eunuchs would be considered almost
startling.
