Beecher Vet Sane.

Beechsr Yet Sano.
This brilliant divine, in recent discourse,
comes back from his late "rife" flights, and
places himself upon what we regard con-
scrvative Christian ground. He evidently
sees that the theories he has been so solicit
Gus to innoculate tho country with, are not
demonstrable except at the expense of great
bloodshed, and hence the return of good
sense to the brain Of this Bishop Of Fancy.
Hear him:
II. We have no right to treat the citi-
Gems Of the South with acrimony and bittsr-
ness, because they are involved in the sys.
tenn of wrong doing. A malignant
speech of slavery will not do any good Z;
and, most of all, it will not do those any
good who most excite our sympathy-the
children Of bondage"
80. The breeding of discomfort among
the bondmen of our land is not the way to
help them"
'3. No relief will be carried to the slaves
Of the South, as body, by any individual
or organized plans to carry them, or to in
cite them to abscond."
~. Still less would We tolerate any
thing like insurrection and scrvile war"
"By all the ways consistent with the
fearless assertion Of truth, we must main-
tain sympathy and kindness towards the
South. We are brethren and pray that
no fratricidal influences will be permitted to
sunder this Union"
Among tho means to be employed for
promoting the liberty Of the slave, we must
not fail to include the power of true Chris
tan prayer. Therefore, We have
every encouragement to direct our prayers
without ceasing to God that he will restrain
the wrath of man.

Suits Us.
The Rockford Meas. In copying an article
from tie Providence Journal on "Party Or
gans," introduces it in the following excellen,
paragraph. We re-pub:ish the Journal para.
graph also, because such sentiments cannot be
too often repeated. A newspaper cannot be
the eonservator Of truth or sound policy that
derives its support from the crumbs Of any
party table it must necessarily take the cue Of
its masters, and they. having more personal in.
terest at stake than they have character to lose,
Of course the party journal becomes the tortu-
Gus. unreliable coner of such principles ~
which will ensure success to those who look at
its "scabs and ulcers" and pity its miserable
condition. We like to see a paper announce
its views, an: maintain them, but it is inex.
pressibly disgusting to an Independent mind to
see stout. able bodied, well.tormed man, crook
the knee to great or small powers aud obse-
quiously say, 81 am willing to think just as you
dictate, it you will but give me bread T" We
would see party or man long ways on the
road towards sulphur before the Times should
profess itself ready to serpe any power, unless
its demands coincided with our own views OF
public policy. II it cannot win living for us
If it is not, of itself, worthy Of surport-it
should not be suffered to live at all. The
treatment Of paper with an eye to its merits
is certain to make it more valu ,ble to its local
ity, and ultimately more profitable to its owner:
Party ORoANs.-An editor who claims sup
port simply because he is the hanger-on Of a
party, has generally very little else to recon.
mend him or his paper. Therefore distrust
those needy, greedy fellows, who put their party
principles in the market, and expect support,
not because their paper il better than other
peoples, but because their miserable sheets are
labelled democratic or republican. A man
who can't run paper without party support or
official pap. isn't worth buying. We know Of
party principles, as q beggar does his scabs and
ulcers, and Tor the same object. Pah!
The Providence Journal says with . good
deal Of truth:
"The time seems to have gone by when .
newspaper can be supported a. the mere organ
Of party, much less as the representative of
a few men, however respectable and influential
they may be. The good times when a man
read the papers OF hi. own party with conscien-
tious creduty. and dscrtdited everything in
the papers Of the other side, have passed away.
man buys his newspaper now just As he buys
anything else, and selects that which suits him,
which furnishes the earliest and best intelli.
gence, and discusses matters Of public interest
with the most ability or the most to his taste. !"

Combinations for the Times.
Phelan has just completed splendid Billiard
Table for a New York bishop. Garrison calls
upon the North to discard cotton; Prentice says
this is Il hint to northern women to unbosom
themselves. William Pitt the younger was
found dead At country house, all his servants
having deserted him on account of his extreme
poverty. A deacon was seen drunk at "mus.

very Cheap Iee.House.

A subscriber of Rockford, Illinois, sends
us the following plan for cheap ice-house:
"For the benefit Of those who wish to enjoy
a little cool luxury during long, hot sum-
mer days, send you the plan of a cheap
ice-housc, in which kept ice from February
to October, using from it every day after
warm weather commenced. Nailed up a
pen, 10 by IL feet, four feet on the ends,
seven feet on the sides, leaving the gablo
ends open-the ground descended about
one foot in twclve-flled in saw-dust about
six or eight inches deep-sawed the ice as
square as possible with cross-cut saw, and
packed it in, leaving the space Of foot on
the sides all around Pounded the cracks
between the ice full Of fine ice; filled the
space around with saw-dust, stamping it
down so as to make it close as possible:
then covered the whole II or l5 inches
deep with saw-dust and put on the roof
After warm weather commenced generally
went over it once week to see if there was
any melting; if there was pounded the
place full Of saw dust This house will
hold from y to 81 cords. If it is allowed
to freeze solid, more will be wasted than
used. have tried that plan, but if LETT as
it is packed you can roll out block and

Dancing,

Dancing.
A religious paper, speaking Of dancing,
says it is frivolous and corrupting. This is
common error with certain class Of re-
ligionists, and shows their ignorance and
folly. Nothing is frivolous which is inno-
cent and pleasant, and adapted to promote
healthy action. Persons who are capable
Of being corrupted by dancing will certainly
find some much more effective mode to be-
come so if this be denied to them. Dancing
among the very young is usually conducted
under the eyes Of very discreet seniors; and
well educated adults need no supervision in
dancing but that Of common sense and their
own self respect. But suppose dancing
could in any case be perverted, so may ey-
erything else be. If We are to do nothing
till it is impossible to err in doing it, what
will there be for any one to do?
As to dancing, we shall speak from some
observation and practice, and sum up the
Judgment formed Of it, thus: Dancing sat-
isles the demand Of nature for action. It
is action for both mind and body. Itisac-
ton which begins, goes on, and ends with
the attainment Of an object 1t brings the
human figure into its proper position, and
develops the power and use Of the muscles.
It is q social and not solitary pleasure
1t is an innocent and refining pleasure, be-
cause it brings both sexes to be acquainted
with each other, and improves the manners
of both. 1t is accompanied by music,
which is ono of the most eleyating and
grateful pleasures known to man. Dancing
is a dic:a of nature. 1t has been made
solemn by savage warriors; mode Of ex-
altsd worship amcng the Pious; one man
ner of showing social gratitication among
dignitalies. 1t has found its proper place
at last in being social, rational, elegant
amusement, which delights those who en-
gage in it, and those who are spectators.

Owned by q Wife.

VVUueo " y " AlOs
The New York Erpress thus comments
on the expression ''owned by a tip-top fash
ionable wife,
'Happy, indeed, the husbands who are
not owned by "a tip-top fashionable wife,
bit if they are thus owned, and inclined to
rebel, or act out a revolution, they must re-
treat, and diplomatic with all the skill and
craft of Talleyrand or Chesterfield. If
you don't believe your wife owns you, just
try it. Even her weakness is her strength !;
and man who would fight . man like
hero, or score Of Solferinos, leading for
lorn hope, jumping bitches, scaling high
walls, with death certain before him, will
come down like bird shot on the wing,
even when a woman but veeps! There is
more power in such weapons than in any
army with banners. Own yourself indeed!
A man may fancy he does; but fancy isn't
the fact, and the truth is, his wife owns him.
How is it with you, reader? If for the first
time made aware of your servitude and own
er, don't make q fuss about, but submit
gracefully and thank your stars that you
have SO wise, discreet, and tolerant master.

''IIave left their spheres thv brow to grace,

But ere the artlesa girl replies,
she's kissed on both her gentle eyes.

1t opes its leaves, and glittering rows
or lily flowers peep forth between.

Her parted lips arc swsetly kissed.

BlaS Let no false delicacy prevent the inva-
lid from seeking medical relief-the card of DR..
L. ]. Czapkay, to be found in another column,
indicates where to obtain reliable and com
petent physician. 1t is seldom that we are called
upon to bear testimony in favor of the skill of
the physician, but sense of duty as well as
justice demands that we should not pass DR..
Czapkay by, without something more than
mere mention. Unlike the greater portion of
those who thrust themselves and their nostrums
before the public, whose practices are empirical.
Dr. Czapkay is a gentleman of rare medical and
scientific attain ments, having held the position
OF chief surgeon of the liberating army during
the late Hungarian Revolution, and is possessed
oil all the requisite experience and skill for the
successful practice of his profession 1t is to the
care and advice of such physician We would
commend all suffering from the effects of sexual
or private disease, feeling assured that in all
such complaints, whether arising from infection.
ndlscretion, self-abuse or loss of viritv, he can
guarantee, from his extensive practice, speedy
and permanent cure. To those suffering from
the effects of physical aud mental debility. we
would say, let common sense take the place of
false modesty and seek such advice as will save
you from an untimely grave, and lead you back
again to pristine health, consult DR.. Czapkay
whom we cheerfully endorse as a skillful and
tried physician, capable of coping with and sue

Yields the orange and the lime;
And the cool refreshing shade,
BY the clustering branches made,
Seems TO hold the perfumed air
As willing captive there.
Ceylon, isle of spice and balm,
Boasts her groves of stately palm;
Where the lingering sunbeams rest,
As they loved that land the best;
Where the birds amid the bowers
Are like gorgeous, winged flowers.
In thy wales, fair, sunny France,
Peasants love thy vintage dance;
Where the vines their clusters yield,
Songs are heard from every field
All the land in festal dress,
Oyerfows with happiness.
But of all the precious stores
Natures bounteous hand outpours
Ger each hill and vale, and plain.
Flower, fruit or waving grain,
Dearest to the Northern born
Stands the graceful Indian Corn
When it springs, the verdant leaf,
Bursts the seeds enclosing sheath,
Or, in summers glowing light,
The feathery tassel greets the sight,
Grace and beauty still adorn
Every change of Indian Corn.
When the autumns gorgeous dyes
Reflect the hues of sunset skies,
Der the glowing harvest plain,
There the ears of clustered gain,
In the yellow sheath unrolled,
Seem like topaz set in gold

AccEPTED.-Tom Hyer's challenge to fight any
man in the world for $40, 700, has been accepted
by Mr.. Deck, of Noble county, Ohio. The ed
itor of the Noble County Democrat thus speaks
of him.
He is an American by birth, and one of cur
most respectable citizens and although we
know him to be a man of great physical force,
possessed of an unusual amount of daring and
energy, yet we little thought that he, of all men
else upon the continent, would propose to meet
the acknowledged q bull dog' of America in
single combat. He has many friends that will
back him. and who claim that in point of SCI
ence he is not inferior to fyer, and is able to
compete with any in the States in muscular
power. His hight is rising six feet, straight as
an arrow, and weight, when stripped 2O6
pounds. He is said to have been in the ring but
once and then successful. His huge and giant
like frame indicates him to be man of very
superior strength; and though we hope the
two combatants may never meet, yet if a trans
action so disgraceful should ever occur, we pre-
dict for the Buckeye boy the championship of
the world.
