Mr.. Beecher on Newspaper.

Rev. Henry Ward Beechsr. in the course
of his sermon at the Plymouth Church last
night, made an eloquent plea for newspa-
pers. speaking of them as one of the most
potent elements of our civilization. ''Tbere
is." said he, ''s common vulgar objection
about newspapers that they lie 50 they
don't lie any more that you do. Man is
naturally lying creature. Truth is gift
from heaven, and very few of US possess il
before they get there. The newspapers give
both facts and rumors. and they would BE-
blamed if they did not do, 30. It il for the
reader to judge of these rumors. The last
economy should be in regard to newspapers.

ooh! yes, forgot. Well, tell as his

say" And overcome by the fright, and

she had reported, she sobbed aloud, and
hid her face from sight.
Her tormentors did not stay any longer
to soothe or question her. They had got,
as they supposed, the information which
they wanted, and pushed rapidly on down
to the river. Now, the Governor had ar
ranged signal with his boatmen, that a
white cloth by day, or light in the night,
displayed from the attic window of his
hiding place, which was just visible at the
mouth of the creek, should inform them if
he were in trouble, and put them upon the
alert to help him. AS soon. therefore, as
he started from his cousins, the signal
floated from the window to warn them. And
when they saw the pursuing party dash
madly down toward the river, and recog-
nized the British uniform of the leader,
they pulled swiftly out to sea. The horse
men reached the shore only in season to
see the boat, with two men in it, nearly out
of sight, and supposing their destined prey
had escaped. relinquished the pursuit.
Meanwhile, the hunted victim lay safe
and quiet where his little cousin had hidden
him, until the time came for her return to
the house for supper. Then be babe her

mother to place the signal lamp, as soon as it
grew dark. in the window for the boatmen,
and to send him there some supper, with
his valise, which, in the hurry of departure
be had left behind.
The signal recalled the boat, which after
twilight had ventured in sight of the shore
and the farm-h house; and the Governor qui-
city made his way to the river in safety.
When he rejoined his family in a secure
home, he named his infant daughter, which
had been born in his absence, ''Hetty Mar

PIERRE soULE.

Last Wednesday morning, the Ocean
Queen dropped Der anchors in the stream
at the foot of Cedar street. She had on
board few discharged soldiers and refu-
gees, several secession passengers, and two
rebel prisoners. Immedi-
ately after her arrival hired Q small boat,
and fastened on board, where found Pierre
Soule, one of the state prisoners, in the en-
brace of Morpheus. Whether or not he
sees visions and dreams dreams, shall not
assume the province of determining. He
certainly has not realized the dream Of his
ambition.
When the rebellion broke out, like the
toad of Milton in the garden of Eve, he Was
squatting In the shade, and it needed
but the touch of Buffers Ithuriel spear to
transform the reptile into demon. Soule
is the chief of q secret organization, whose
object is the dissolution of the Federal Gov

He sat there, sound asleep, in an arm
chair on the deck of the ship-his hat
slouched over his closed eyes. and shading
his swarthy cheek. leaned against the
bulwark of the transport, and waited pa
tiently for him to awake. In the meantime

friend of his took fancy for it, and asked
him what he would take for it. He replied
$500, and at that price he bought it, to the
amusement of the bystanders, who leased
him about his want of cuteness. He, how
ever, resolved to turn the laugh against the
person of whom he bought it, and he went
to jeweler whom he knew, and made an
arrangement with him to lend him four dia-
monds exactly the same shape as the paste
brilliants. and to set them in the ring. Next
day he went on Change, when he was again
saluted by inquiries "a to his ring.
"Oh." said be, ''the ring is cheap at

these are real diamonds"
The person of whom he bought it offered
to bet HIM $500 that they were not, which
offer was accepted, and referred to the arbi-
tratien of q frst-rste jeweler, who valued
the ring at 81 800. He them took it back,
and had the old paste brilliants restored,
and the next day sold it for 81 900 to the
person of whom he bought it; and when he
got his money both for his bet and the ring,
he got up and told the whole affair to the
bystanders, showing to them the great dan

JEFF. Davis and Ben. Butler.

The New Orleans Delta of the 9th ult.,
says:
Lieutenant Colonel Ogden, member Of
Gen. Mansfield Lovell's staff, arrived in
town on Friday morning, under flag of
truce. He bore threatening letter" from
"Mister Davis. to Major General Butler.
General Butler read it, and sent back a
written answer. It does not appear, from
the Generals performances, that he was
much frightened. We do not think he was
a bit.
The flag was relative to the condemnation
of one Van Benthuysen, for aiding in the
escape of spy, and bore threat from JEFF.
that he would rigidly apply the principle of
lez salion;s. in case the death penalty should
be inflicted upon the person imprisoned.
To this Gen. Butler replied:
'Maior Van Benthuysen, an officer hold
ing commission against the United States,
in arms, was arrested by my order for aid
ing the escape of scoundrel and spy. who
had at the same time been false to your
party as he was to mine, and confined in
Fort Jackson, and told that as his offense
was not the worst in the rebellion, If he
would produce the spy, who, I was inform
ed, was under his control, he would be re-
leased, and so far his offenses pardoued-
Being afterwards assured that the spy had
escaped, in fact, to Richmond, upon Major
Van Benthuysen's application he was re-
leased, some days since. upon his parole,
and is now, as I believe, quietly attending
his ordinary avocations about the city of
New Orleans.
"To prevent the necessity of flags of
truce, containing threats to me, hereafter,
allow me to add that in no degree will they
change the course either of punishment or
of justice, which my judgment may deter
mine.

A THOUGHTFUL BoY.-A boy was once

going TO ride horseback, to take such trip
as would violate his fathers command; but
he nobly declined. Nobody will see you"
replied the other, still urging him to per-
form the evil act. ''I shall see myself"
exclaimed the manly fellow, with firm
resolve to do right written all over his

that neither parents or neighbors are look

BIZ JOHN @. WHITTIER.

When first saw our banner wave
Above the nations council-haf,
Lheard beneath its marble wall
The clanking letters of the slaVe!
In the foul market-place stood,
And saw the Christian mother sold.
And childhood with its locks of gold.
Blue-eyed and fair with Saxon blood.
1 shut my eyes. I held my breath. Tshame
And smothering down the wrath and
That set my Northern blood af1Ame,
Stood silent-where to speak was death.
Beside me gloomed the prison-cell,
Where wasted one in slow decline,
For uttering simple words of mine,
And loving Freedom all too well.
The flag that hoated from the dome
Flapped menace in the morning air;
] stood. q periled stranger, where
The human broker made his home.
For crime was virtue: Gown and Sword
And Law their three-fold sanction gave,
And to the quarry Of the slave
Went hawking with our symbol-bird!
. On the oppressor's side was power:
And yet knew that every wrong,
However old, however strong,
But waited Gods avenging hour.
knew that truth would crush the lie
Somehow, sometime, the end would be;
Yet scarcely dared hope to see
The triumph with my mortal eye.
But now see it In the sun
A free flag floats from yonder dome,
And at the nations hearth and home
The justice long delayed is done.
Not as we hoped in calm of prayer,
The message of deliveFance comes,
But heralded by roll of drums,
On waves of battle. troubled air!-
Midst sounds that madden and appal,
The song that Bethlehem's shepherds
The harp of David melting through knew
- The demon agonies of Saul
Not as we hoped; but what are we
Above our broken dreams and plans
God lays, with wiser hand than mans.
The corner-stones of liberty.
l cavil not with Him: the voice
That Freedoms blessed gospel tells
Is sweet to me as silver bells,
Rejoicing yea, will rejoice
Dear friends, still toiling in the sun
Ye dearer ones who, gone before.
Are watching from the eternal shore,
The slog work by your hands begun
Rejoice with me The Christening rod
Blossoms with love; the furnace heat
Grows cool beneath His blessed feet,
Whose form is as the Son of God
Rejoice Our Marah's bitter springs
Are sweetened; on our ground of grief,
Rise, day by day, in strong relief,
The prophecies of better things.
