as mal-opropos as his previous selection of
Ascension day, high festival in the Chris

the following paragraph which shows what

county, forty-two years ago: 1.-The jury
which condemned Leechler to be hung, in
Lancaster county, drank during their sitting
which was seven days, only l45 quarts of
wine, brandy, gin, &c. Two of them it is
said drank nothing remaining ten must
have been very competent to judge between
Lechler and the commonwealth, at the end
of the time, that's, after drinking two quarts
and pint a day each, for seven days. They
rendered a verdict Of guilty, and the man
was hung u

A New BEEcHERIsM-At a recent tenn
perance meeting held in Elmira, N. Y. Rev.
T. X. BEEcHER, brother of HENRY WARD,
took position in favor of the use of ale and
wines as prophylactic for intemperance.
He said that he had so taught from his pull
pit, and that he should do it again-that he
had advised Messrs. BRIGGs & BOWER to
rebuild their brewery in the interest of the
temperance cause, that he had barrel of
good ale in his cellar, but that there was
scarcely saloon in Elmira where a glass of
good ale could be procured, as he had tried
at almost every one and, that if we formed
temperance organization on the basis of
total abstinance we should act contrary to
science, and so contrary to God, and should
consequently fail.

A MALE WoMAN.-A strange sort of
person, named SOPHIA GIBoNsE, died a

norance of the fact that the would be woman
was in reality man. Not until after death
was the deception discovered. During all
the time the man dressed as a woman, as
sociated with women, and had been employ
ed as such in doing all sorts ofrough house
work, from place to place.

FIRE. Monday was pretty good day for

ground, but the bursting of hose prevented
them from checking the flames until Mrs.
Worries and Mrs. AppLEToN's stables, to-
gcther with Mr.. BARToN's, were all burnt
down. The wind was high and it required
ing flames from sweeping large part of the
town. The dwellings occupied by Mrs.
Worries, Capt. SMITH, J. i. RIcHEsoN
and A. S. BEARD were in great danger
Some six or eight other houses were on fire

from Bennington were in pursuit The Of,
ficers came in sight of their victims" and
raised a hue and cry, whereupon rogue No.
seized rogue No. 2, and, after hard fight,
handed him over to his pursuers, one o!
whom remarked that he believed he was an
accomplice, but on being assured that he
was North Adams workman, subsided. -
On the examination it was, however, found
that the fellow had not only saved himself
by the adrot trick, but had taken off all the
counterfeit money which was necessary to
convict his comrade, so that both escaped.

LIrTLE. Everything is beautiful when it
is little, except souls; little pigs, little
lambs, little birds, little kittens, little chill
dron.
Little martin boxes Of houses are pcncr.
ally the most happy and cozy, little villa.
ges are nearer toboiug atoms of a shattered
Paradise than any thing we know Of. Little
fortunes bring the most content, and little
hopes the least disappointment
Little words are the sweetest to hear, aud
little charities fly furthcst and stay the
longest on the wing. Little Lakes are the
stilcst, little hearts the fullest, and little
farms the best TILED Little books the most
read, and little songs the best loved.
And when Nature would make anything
especially rare and beautiful, she makes it
little; little pearls, little diamonds, little
dcws.
Agur's is a model prayer but then it is a
little prayer, and the burden Of the petition
is for little. The Sermon on the Mount i,
little, lut the last dedication discourse wa,
two hours. The Roman said, "vcni, vidi
vici, i camc-saw-conqured-but dis.
patches nowadays are longer than the bat
ties that they tell us Of
Everybody calls that little that they love
the best upon earth. We once heard good
sort Of man speak of his little wife, and We
fancied she must be perfect bijou of wo
man. We saw her; she weighed two hun
dred and ten we were surprised. But ther
it wasno joke, the man meant it. He coulc
put his wife in his heart, and have room fol
other things besides and what was she but
precious, and what could she be but little
We rather doubt the stories of great ar
gosirs of gold we sometimes hear of fol
nature deals in Titles almost altogether -
Life is made up of Titles; death is what re
mains of them all. Day is made up of littlc
beams, and night is glorious with little stars
MULTUM IN PARvo-much in little,
the great beauty of all that we love best
hope for most, and remember longest.
