And as the years roll past, and the
hum Of a busy population resound within
these streets-when the rusts of time and
mists of fable shall have gathered about
Indian history, how %reverentially shall we
point to these relics, which in their majest-
&c simplicity, will prove as enduring me-
MORALS of their race, as the gilded maui
soleums and marble tablets that point to
the resting places of kings and conquer
ors.
The change Of seasons and the lapse Of
years will but add to them a more sacred
interest and invest with hallowed associa-
lions the simplest flower that blossoms

required, TO feel perfectly loose. He
read his text and announced as his sub
lect-" The Sources of lnfdelity." More
than an hour he held that large audience
completely spell. bound-now weeping,
now laughing, and now ms solemn as
" Death upon a pale horse" The intro
duction, and almost oil Of his first propo-
sition were read but by that time, a lit
tie heat had been generated, his eye be-
gan to brighten and flash, inspiration
kindlsd, blazed, and native %eloquence,
sarcasm, invective, were poured forth as
lava from the volcano. There was no
rant, no denunciation, no frothing and
foamlng at the mouth, no stamping of the
feet as if they were too pious and ought
to be severely chastised, nc listing the
Bible as if il were a personal enemy.
To be sure there was frequently sound,
but there was sense also-lightning as well
as thunder, and it hit pretty often, too, |
can assure you, Dead, formal churches,
s~oulless preachers, unprincipled, selfish
professors, sec,arian bigots, each in his
turn was dashed to his hearts content.
Much of the infidelity of the age, he al
tributed to the selfshness, exclusiveness
bigotry, and blind zeal of the christian
church-to those who are the loudest in
denouncing it. The audience was com
pIetely chained,-they took no note Of
time, they forgot the mar and were all ab.
sorbed in the subject. He was full of ii
and fed them with it. Thoughts deep
transparent, appropriate, rolled out in
such rapid succession, that we had scarce
" time to breathe. l never saw such o
tide of truth, roll in such overwhelming
surges of sarcastic eloquence. 1t sweep
as a mighty tornado over that vast assem-
bly,. In his delivery there were none Of
the stiff, studied rules of pulpit elocution
No mock modesty and feigned sanctimo'
NOUS airs; all wal natural and easy
He defed restraint, as he threw himself
soul and body, into the subject. We lief

Election in Nebraska.

Latest accounts from the election returns
in Nebraska, makes it highly probable
that b. b. Chapman has been defeated
for Delegate to Congress, we have all the
time felt quite certain that he would re.
ceive the popular vote.
The contest lies between Judge Fergu.
son and Mr.. Chapman, both intelligent
and talented men, and without a doub'
abundantly capable of ably representing
the interests of the young and fourishing

For the Bellevue Gazette.

Mr.. EDITOR with your permission
we propose to give a few sketches of men
and things in the far off east. We do
not propose this, presuming that they may
be interesting or instructive, but simply to
f" fill up" now that the excitement of the
election has subsidized. BY way of intro
duction, we begin with that very celebrat-
ed man, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
1t was a cold, clear Sabbath morning
in April last, when DIR. p. and myself,
agreed to avail ourselves of an opportu.
nifty of hearing this prince Of modern
pulpit orators. Directing our steps
towards the Plymouth Churrh, we soon
fell into the ranks of the crowd hat was
moving thitherward, and in due time
brought up at the iron gate of said edi'
fee. Urging our way through the dense
concourse, the massive doors opened, and
we were soon comfortably seated, by the
very polite and gentlemanly sexton, in one
of those I" good seats" reserved in other
churches for the elite, and them only
AT the appointed time, the church doors
opened, and a short thick-set, gentleman
ly appearing man entered, and in a sol
emn manner, with measured step, walked
up into a very spacious and commodeou
pulpit. Here he felt perfectly at home
Without noticing any one, his hat wa
r laid by his side, his white slender finger
Invested Of their lambs-wool covering
and the hymns and lessons of the day Sc
lected. This being done, he arose from
Y his seat, directed his eyes and hand heav
5 onward, and in a very solemn and impress
d sive manner envoked the Divine blessing
The hymn was then read distinctly ant
sensibly. There was no pious whining
: about it, but the sense, the theology, wa
l clearly apparent from the manner of it
y reading. 1t was also sung in a commo
d sense manner-the whole congregatio
| joining heart and soul in it. Mr.. Beech
er's own hymn book is used, in which tn
o music is set to each hymn. These tune
o are not the new-fangled ones of latte
days, full of flats and sharps, but tn
: good old fashioned one of yore, whe
S men sang the praises of God with tn
spirit and understanding. All the pre-
liminary exercises were performed in III
most solemn and appropriate manneI
: The man of God now rises to deliver h
X message. That he had something to Sa.
n we were all confident; that he could an
would say it, we all knew. His out-sid
coat, which up to this time, had been bu
toned snugly around him, was now throw

several Mares, Nests.

The editor Of the .Nebrdskidn, in his
last issue announces the astounding fact,
that the editor Of the Bellevue Gazette, had
found a mares nests in an innocent 'ydt-
Ter envelope emenating from the Ne
brdskidn office.
Now, suppose we turn the tables and
see how many mares nests he has found.
In the first place he found a mares nest,
when with a large rooster he proclaimed
that Bird j. Chapman was elected to Con-
gress. In his next issue he draws in his
horns, and found another ~nest--stating tina,
Mitchelh had imported Mormons from Iowa
early on the morning Of the election, and
sent them to Monroe county, n hundred
miles from Florence, to vote for Fergu-
son, and brought them back the anne nigh
travelling fro hundred miles, in one day
and voted again for Ferguson! Mitchell
must have fast horses! The next mares
nest he found was hat ballot boxes had
