The following pen and ink portrait OF
famous clergyman, is one of a series
of sketches of New York life, which
formed the poem delivered before the
Alumni of Hamilton College, at their re-
cent Annual Meeting, by WILLIAM Writ
How, ESQ, of New York.
A wealthy nature, various, as BELTS
A real genius, full Of opposites.
A eve severe-a boyish mobile face;
homely manner-yet Of genuine grace
A heart Of purity-yet no ascetic;
In reason hrm-in fancy all erratlc;
Saxon in consc ence-yet Of GaIllo cheer
At once RoundheaG and Cavalier;
Imaginative-loyal yet 10 truth
Mature in manhood-though in heart a youth,
In purpose earnest-yet in humor quaint;
In mirth Momus-yet in soul a saint"
he is good hater-in righteous way
Hates with a will the fslsehood Of to-day
He does not backward launch his diatribes
Merely against the Pharisees and Scribes.
he does not choose to crafty the devil
By vaguely aiming at historic evil
But swiftly shoots his surging shafts OF power
Against the that desecrate the hour
The living tongue parent Of dark distrust,
The itching palm, the Ianguid eye Of lust,
The fat hypocrlsies agape with greed,
The cruel snoothness Of a frozen creed;
The snug deceit which plays a parrots part
With language Of the tongue, not Of the heart
Which SAYS its catechism, got by rote,
Then grasps a starving debtor by the throat,
Which from the Bible justhes oppression
With preceicnts Of synod and of session,
Which pravs in robes Of righteousness on sunday
And works in Satan's livery Monday,
And makes amends for false and selfish ease
By hiring pews and hunting heresles.
Yet he is kind-within the spacious cells
OF his great heart a living Saviour dwells,
And through his being living currents move
Repaid and quickened by divinest love.
He loves the beauty Of the world around,
OF EARTH and sea, and air, Of ght and sound,
The mystic melody of Natures lutte,
The upturned eyes Of flowers, the flush OF fruit
The blessed beams Of kindliness and mirth
Like rainboys bending DER a hopeful earth;
He loves the world Of human life within,
And " sees The good in every thing save sin;
He loves the prodigals who wayward roam,
And kindly calls them to their Fathers home;
HI gently sprinkles on their dusty road
The exceeding sweetness Of the love Of God;
Then strive; to train them up, as best he can
Unto the stature of the Perfect Man,
That each may stand in filial fealty, free
With the great gift Of Christian Liberty.
" Free TO receive and quite free to give,
Reverent in thought, yet not afraid TO live;
Quick like his Lord, with knotted cords to chase
The money-changers from the Holy Place,
Yet in his wisdom harmless the dove
Because inspired by the Masters love
This poet, thinker, worker, teacher, preacher
You guess the rhyme, who can 1t be but Beecher'

ADvERTIsE.-In the following paragraph

strating the advantages of advertising to the
business man:
BENEFIT OF ADvERTIsING.-It is often the
case that men come into our Office and inquire
for the papers published at such place,
saying they would like TO find somebody S
advertisement. They sit down and look le
papers over. and it is often the case they are
unable to find the desired information Not
long since a gentleman was looking for the
name and address Of an Albany firm TO which
he desired TO make consignment, but not
finding it, he made the remark that he would
ship to a firm he was well acquainted with.

deal with the other firm. This is but one Of
many instances, and proves conclusively that
business men should advertise. fits nothing
more than their business cards.

Rev Dr. Bellows of New York, who took
up the cudgels in defence of the stage, some
time since, has undertaken a more gigantic
scheme. This is u found a new Catholic
Church, differing from the church which ac-
knowledges Archbishop Hughes as its metro
rolitan head. by the omission of what may
be deemed certain obsolete, erroneous, or
needless doctrines, but preserving the attract
i've features, the ritual, the imaginative sym
bols, the sacred festivals, which help to give
the Roman Catholic Church its popular and
universal character. The name of the pro-
posed organization is the Broad Church
Dr. Bellows maintains that modern Pro
testanism is merely negative barren and be
bind the times, and IN short, is, to sope
extent failure. Hence the project of
"broad church, and return to the rites
and ceremonial, heretofore discarded by 4
majority of modern Protestants 1t is said
that the new church will have Antioch Col
lege as its Theological Seminary.

WHAT NATIONS FIGHT HARDEST The
remarkable facts relative to the losses in kill
ed and wounded at the recent battle of Sol
ferino. and the numbers who fell in other en-
gagementS throughout the world, which we
alluded to in our columns Yesterday, have
elected no little surprise, and doubtless have
given rise to some curious reflections. As
suming the French and Austrian bulletins to
! be true-and they are the only data we have
N 90 unon-the total loss in killed and
wounded on both sides at SOlferinO, in a fight
which lasted fourteen hours, was %, ,375, or
seven per cent. Of the whole number engaged.
On comparing this with the listof killed and
wounded in other decisive battles in this
country and Mexico. we are constrained u
conclude that our own troops, the English,
and even the Mexicans, whom 1t has been
the habit to depreciate, are much harder
fighters than the French and Austrians. Let
us complete the figures in tabular form:
Per ct killed
Nations. Battle and ,coundsd.
Americans and English. Bunker Hill....43
Do do. Chippewa. q
American. n................. Buena Vista....l7
Mexicans. ......,............... Do ........l0
Americans. ..........,...... Molino del Rey. %
TIcans......-......-....... 10 90
Americans. Valley of Mexico. .24
French. Sardiniaus and Austrians Sollerino.7
These figures show that if the army in It
aly had fought as desperately at Solferino as
our soldiers. the English and the Mexlcans
did in the above engagements, their loss
should have been four or five times as great
as reported
Do they fight as well? Or are the bulle-
tins false-Neic York Herald.
