A .iiemarkable Statement.


Mr.. Beecher, in one of his sermons, made
the following statement:
what do you think of such thing AS this
in one Of the Assay Offices under the Gov
ernme mt, one fortielh of one per cent,
think, is allowed tor waste on all the gold
that passes through; but last year, the
amount which remained in the hands Of the
director Of that Office was about $4,000,
which, according to the letter of the law.
belonged to him. He however, went back
to the spirit of the law, and though the law
allowed him to pocket the $4,000, he retur-
ned it to the Government. And that is not
all. do not know that the Government
knew it. I know it only by having been
told it by an assistant Of his.
The author Of this statement pertinently
added:
Now, how many are there Of you viii
vote that this man shall 20 to the lunatic
asylum? And how many are there of you
that looking upon him, feel rising up within
you, enforced and unconscious, a wish to
worship him?
This is case Of the love of right for rights
sake. Here is man that stood in an
ungodly city where everybody is scram-
bling for money and where money is the ideal
Image Of happiness, and there were eighty
thousand dollars which, according to the
law, he could have put in his pocket. and in
two years he could have retired rich man
and yet he said: "The spirit of the law
re q uires that that should be given back to
the Government and gave it back, not for
the sake of performing a remarkable deed
but because he thought the thing in and Of
itself right: And would rather have that
mans poverty and'noral integrity than twice
or four times the eighty thousand dollars.

Left ON the Battle Field.

What, was it a dream? am all alone
In the dreary night and the drilling rain =.
Hist Lah, it was only the rivers moan;
They have left me behind with the mang gled slain
Yes, now remember it all too we'll,
We met, from the battling ranks apart
Together our weapons flashed and fell,
And mine was sheathed in his quiyering heart.
In the cypress GLOOM where the deed was done,
1t was all too dark to see his face;
But heard his death -groans, one by one,
And he holds me still in cold embrace.
He spoke but once and could not hear
The words he said for the cannon's roar;
But my heart grew cold with deadly fear
Oh God had heard that voice before.
Had heard it before at our mothers knee,
When we lispsd the words of our evening prayer!
My brother would had died for thee
This burden is more than my soul can bear
pressed my lips to his death-cold cheek,
And begged him to show me, by word or sign,
That he knew and forgave me- he could not speak,
But he nestled his poor cold face TO mine.
The blood flowed fast from my wounded side,
And then for a while forgot my pain,
And over the lakelet we seemed to glide
In our little boot two boys again.
And then, in my dream, stood alone
On forest PATH where the shadows fell
And heard again the tremulous tone,
And the tender words of his last farewell.
But that parting was years. long years ago
He wandered away to foreign land
And our dear old mother will never know
That he died o-night by his brothers hand.
The soldiers who buried the dead away,
Disturbed not the clasp of that last embrace,
But laid them to sleep till the Judgmcnt-day
Heart folded to heart, and face to face.

An UNPLEASANT PREDIcAAENf.-A writer
on the subject of " Sensations of the DYING
furnishes the following:
g IF the neck is broken low down, the per-
son does not necessarily die on the instant.
His situation is perhaps the'most distressing
of any which can be imagined. He may live
and have being for few days; but he can
not move. His face may express all the pas
sions, feelings and emotions; but beyond the
motions of his breast and eountenance. his
energies do not go. His arms are pinioned
to his side; his legs are lifeless; and he es-
sentially beholds his body in the grave, while
he is yet in the full possession of his faculties.
The least disturbance Of his position is liable
TO launch him at once into eternity.n

Liberty.

The day is one on which men talk much
OF liberty. and on which they are accustomed
to claim that the world derived the grandest
aid 1T ever received in the cause of free insti-
tutions. Let US then understand plainly
what we mean by liberty. 1t is not license.
1t is not freedom to do as we please. 1t does
not mean the absence of restraint. 1t does
not mean the equality of every man to every
other man in everything. 1t means, in gen.
eral, the restraint which is imposed on gov
ernments and individuals preventing the
one or the other from doing wrong to the
citizen or subject. Liberty must be born of
restraint, must consist of restraint.
Observe how small indeed is the license
which the free American has. He is not
free to go where he pleases for all of the
million acress of land spreading around him,
there are only few narrow strips, called
roads, over which he is at liberty to walk
He cannot 90 as we pleases, for over these
roads he must move with deferential respect
to the equal rights in them which others
have and he must not so use his right as to
injure his neighbor's right. He is not at lib
erty to act as he pleases, for he must not
throw stone in the air if its fall will BARN
another individual in person or property. He
is not at liberty to speak as he pleases, for
he may injure his neighbor by his speech !;
he must be cautious. or he may offend the
moral sense of the community by his language,
and therefore he must bride his tongue.
We might continue these illustrations at
length. But these suffice. Men prate a
great deal about liberty, who understand
very little about it. Liberty is the creature
of law, not the enemy of law, as some seem
to imagine. The hour when we see perfect
liberty on eartl, Siil be the hour when hu-
man passions are under the greatest restraint,
and when no injury is done by man, not be-
cause every man is free to do as be pleases,
but because every man will be governed by
sense of the duty which imposes on him the
severest bonds.
We are all bondsmen In spite of the
boasts of freedom, we are all under sharp
laws, under strong restraints. Yet we are a
free people-free because we agreed among
ourselves as to those restraints, and bear
them cheerfully because they are our own
imposing.-N. Y. Journal Of Commerce.
