A Pleasant Sunrise.

Rev. A. f. Beard, of Central Church, Bath,
was short time since called upon by one of
his Parish Committee, who upon leaving laid
upon the table small package addressed to
Mr.. b. 1t was found TO contain brief note
signed by five members of the society, which,
after abiding to his recent affection, and the
large expense which had resulted from the
sickness and death of his wife, begged of him
to except the token of regard which accom-
panied the note. The note enclosed .tire one
hdndred dollar bills.
On Christmas day the sabbath school of
Mr.. BIS society had festive occasion, and
upon the tree was package for Mr.. b. and
his wife-who was then living-which con-
tanned note from the children of the school,
asking him to accept their token in the shape
of one hundred dollars, and to invest it in the
purchase of a study table. OF course he is
now provided with a writing table and desk
OF great elegance, priced all the more highly
in consequence OF the delicate way in which
it was presented. Mr.. b. is one of the rising
young men of the State, very popular with
his church, and beloved by one of the best
parishes in the State. He is man of cult
waited head, of true heart and his sermons
abound with great thoughts felicitously ex-
pressed.

AFFECTING EPISODE AT PLYMOUTH
CHURcH.-Sunday, at Plymouth Church, was
the regular Sabbath for the baptism OF infants,
and the delightful spring morning tempted
larger number of parents than usual to
bring their offspring forward. Having adj
minstered the rite to all but one Of the child
rem, Mr.. Beecher paused moment, and, turn
ing to his interested audience, stated that
there was still another child to be cbristened.
Herhistory, however, contained moral, and
he should take the liberty of carrying her
upon the platform where all present might
look upon her features. This preface caused
flutter of increased interest, which was not
abated until the reverend gentleman had as
cended the pulpit steps, bearing in his arms
little laughing eyed, sweet-faced. fair-haired
girl of five years, who nestled closely against
his breast, toying with his watch guard, as she
timidly met, with her dark, lustrous eyes, the
concentrated gaze of the now hushed congre-
CATION.
In a voice tremulous and fearful, and in
words that touched a sympathetic chord in
the hearts ofhis hearers, Mr.. Beecher told about
the child. "She was born in slavery" he said.
"A benevolent woman who was nursing our
sick soldiers in the hospital at Fairfax, found
her, sore and tattered, and unclean, and re-
quested the good sister who has adopted her,
to bring her North andtake care Of her. She
will be treated as this lady's own child, and it
is designed to educate her as teacher for her
race. Look upon this child" continued Mr..
Beecher, "and tell me if you ever saw fairer,
sweeter face ? And this child" he added, sis
fair sample of the slavery which absorbs into
itself everything fair and attractive. The low
illness of the child would only make her so
much more valuable as chattel; for while
your children are brought up to fear and
serve the Lord, this little one just as beauti-
full, would be made, through slavery, child
of damnation. The whole force of my man
hood revolts and rises up in enmity against an
institution that cruelty exposes such children
to be sold like cattle loud applause.l Look
upon this child" he repeated in conclusion,
"and take away with you the impression OF
her beauty and remember to what shocking
fate slavery would bring her. May God strike
for our armies aud the right, that this accused
thing may be utterly destroyed" tRenewed
applause.)
Mr. Beecher then baptized the child Fanny
Virginia Cassiopea Lawrence, the last name
being that of the lady who adopted her.
