Henry Ward Beecher's Church.
Thcanuunl pew renting in Plymouth Church
{the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, pastor,) took
placea few evenings since. There vas a very
large attendance Of members Of that congre-
CATION, and the bidding was somewhat more
spirited than last year. The highest premium
offered this year was $155; last year it was
800. The average premium was much higher
than on any previous occasion. The rental Of
the pews and aisle chairs, is s,214, aud 1t
vas estimated that the the total amount real
! lied this year would be $25, 900, against
$751; Inst year. About twenty pews were
left untaken.
II James E. Murdoch, the well known
Actor and Reader, has given several Of his
Readings In Washington for the benefit Of
our sick and wounded soldiers. His conduct
in this respect bears honorable contrast to
TINT Of George Vandenhoff, who, when re-
quested by Tie Union Indies of St. Louis to
Read for the benefit Of the sick and wounded
soldiers in that city, on the 10th Of December,
replied that he had not vacant evening until
the 9Th Of January, 1865, when he would Read
In Hartford, whereas he was lying idle in the
city Of Chicago for week within the period
named in his note.

CORN AND CANAL TOLLS.

The annual report Of the Comptroller of
the State Of New York, an abstract of
which re find in the New York City pa.
pers Of Wednesday, shows us Of the West
how re are f1eeced and robbed by the cx-
actions Of that State in the way of tolls
upon our produce seeking tide-water
through her canals. The gross income
Of the canals, for the last year,
was 81, 1889, very large proportion Of
which must be credited to the Erie and Erie
and Oswego Canals, over which our grain
seeks a market. Tie surplus revenue
meaning the gross revenue, less the cost Of
maintenance 81 ,081 SOL, Of which all
but a fractional part was paid by
Western business would say mod
crate profit in q years traffic.. But
there is 4 debt Of $24,011,770 hang
ing over the canals, something more than
half Of which is chargeable to the Erie,
the rest being contracted for the building
Of lateral canals with which the West has
no concern Admit that tile grain and
pork Of these regions ought to pay inter-
est, at the rate Of five per cent per annum,
on the entire sum, and New York might
be justified in keeping her tolls high enough
to reimburse her for the outlay on that &C.
count. She ought to do no more; but the
matter really stands thus:

So much wrung out Of the depressed in

that Governor Seymour, whose sympathies
are kecnly excited for Western farmers
who are burning their corn for fuel, has re-
commended any decrease Of tolls SO as to
give that corn positive market value on
the ground where it was grown. Hhe is
in earnest, he will send in a supplementary
message. But could New York do worse
were she our enemy?

Of Brooklyn, BY the pastor. Rev Samuel T.
Spear, D. D., Nov. e1th, 1862. Brooklyn: VIM.

1t is seldom VIC think it worth while to no.
tice sermon, but the one before us is so conf
prehensiye, the views presented are 90 broad
md national, and the blessings which the
author shows Providence has In store for u5
when this rebellion shall have been put utdown,
the manner In which he applies the principles
of our holy religion to sustain our hopes and
stimulate to patriotic exertion, are so well
expressed that we commend this effort of Dr..
Spear as worthy the widest circulation. We
should be glad to see copy in the hands Of
every man in the nation.

The rebellion has already furnished the his
torian with materials for largo volume, and
yet the events arc brought down only to june
1e62. Mr. Headlcy describes wildly and gives
II very full account Of the different
battles and seiges. the deeds Of heroic daring
and exalted patriotism manifested by our
noble countrymen since the commencement
Of the war up to the time when this first yol.
umc closes. In his earlier works his style
WAS too stilled and pedantic; but as far as we
hase been able to examine the volume before
Us We find marked improvement in this re-
gard- We have not had time to examine the
work with sufficient care to judge Of the ac-
curacy Of its details, and in fact It is too
Roon 10 expect that from the historian. Of
one thing, however, we Gan speak with conf

illustrated. The picture Of Mr. Lincoln aud
many Of our leading generals VIC know to be
accurate and they arc withal beautifully exc

know that what We are going TO say
viii be considered as having anything
of originality about it. but We never
theless shall say what has frequently
appeared important in a pecunisry
point Of view. to the farmer as well as
to the interest of agriculture and the
country at large. We refer to the i'm
portance Of everv farmer raising every
calf he gets. and for the next year the

with such thing as veal. Veal. at
best. Is rather doubtful kind Of proven
der for civilized people to eat. But
just now. when large part Of our cat
tie raising portion of the Union is not
rearing a single steer, our farmers can
not fail to see where their interest lies,
and that is in raising every calf they
get. We do not deem it necessary to
go into any lengthy argument TO prove
what We have merely noticed. The
same remarks will apply with equal
force to the breeding Of colts. Thick

STREEGTB OF CBARAcTER.--Strepgth
Of character consist Of two things
power of will and power Of self-re'
straint. 1t requires two things. there
fore. for its xistenee-strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now
we all very often mistake strong feel
ings for strong character. A mar
who bears all before him, before whose
frown domestics tremble and whose
bursts of fury make the children OF the
household quake because he has bis
will obeyed sRd his own way in all
thIngs-we call him a strong man.
The truth is that he is the weak man;
it is his passions that are strong; he,
mastered BY them, is weak. You must
measure the strength of a man by the
power of the feelings he subdues. not
by the power of those that subdue him.
And hence composure is very often the
highest result of strength. Did we
ever see man receive fagrant inju-
ry. and reply quietly? That is man
spiritually strong. Or did we ever see
a man in anguish, stand. as if carved
ut OF solid rock. mastering himself?
Or one bearing hopeless daily trial. re-
main silent and never tell the world
what cankered bis home peace? Tha!
is strength. He who, with strong pas
sions, remains chaste; he who, keenly
sensitive, with manly powers Of indigna-
tion in him, can be provoked and yet
restrain himself and forgive, these are
the strong men, the spiritual heroes.

THE ECONOMY OF HUM AN LIFE
WOMAN.

Give ear, fair daughter of love, to
the instruction Of prudence; and let the
precepts of Truth sink deep in thine
heart: SO shall the charm OF thy mind
add luster to thy form; and thy beauty
IKE the rose it resembleth, shall retain
its sweetness, when its bloom is with
cred.
In the spring of thy youth, in the
morning Of thy days, when the eyes OF
men gaze on thee with delight, ahl
hear with caution their alluring words;
guard we'll thy heart nor listen to their
seducement.
Remember thou art made mans rea.
sonable companion, not the slave of his
passions; the end Of thy being lie to as
sist him in the tolls Of life, to soothe
him with thy tenderness. and recon.
pense his care with soft endearments-
Who is she that winneth the heart,
that subdueth him to love, and reigneth
in his breast.
Lol yonder she walketh in maiden
sweetness, with innocency in her mind,
nodesty on her cheek.
Her hands seeketh employment; her
foot delighteth not in gadding abroad.
She is clothed with neatness; she is
fed with temperance; humility and
meekness are as crowns Of glory circling
her head.
On her tongue dwelleth music; the
sweetness of honey foweth from her
lips.
Decency rs in ali her words; in her
answers are mildness and truth.
Submission and obedience are the
lessons of her life; and peace and hap
piness are her reward.
Before her steps walketh Prudence;
and Virtue attendeth her right hand
Her eye speaketh softness and love;
but discretion with a scepter sitteth on
her brow.
The tongue Of the hceutIous is dumb
IN her presence; the awe of her virtue
keepelh him silent.
When scandal is busy, and the fame
of her neighbor is tossed from tongue
to tongue, il charity and good nature
open not her mouth. the finger of si-
lence resteth on her lip.
Her breast is the mansion OF good
ness and therefore she suspecteth no
evil in others.
Happy were the man that should
make her bis wife. happy the childlthaI
shall call her mother
She presideth In the house, and there
rs peace; she commandeth with iudg-
ment and is obeyed.
She ariseth IN the morning; she con.
siders her affairs, and appointeth to ev.

When the summer breeze is signing,

Or when the autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song;
If in dreams see thee lying,
On the bsttle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
CHoHus-Weeping, sad and lonely, etc.
If amid the din Of battle,
Nobly you should fall,
Fsr away from those that love you,
None 10 hear you call.
Who would whisper words Of comfort,
Who would soothe your paint
Alb! the many cruel fancies,
Ever in my brain.
Czozus-Weeping. sad and lonely, etc.
But our country called you. darling.
Angels cheer your way;
While our Nations sons are fighting,
We can only pray.
Nobly strike for God and liberty.
Let aIl nations see
How we love the starry banner,
Emblem of the free.
