MINISTERS FOR THE TBEs.--Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, in his Sunday
evening sermon, in discoursing upon the
corruptions Of the times aud upon the
necessity of having a clergy bold enough
to meet them, said 4;
Il have attended many councils where
learned divines examined youthful candi-
dates for orders, but | have never yet
attended or heard one where single
question was put to test the fitness Of the
man as a teacher on the point most vital
to his congregation. They ask him all
about original sin, and the fall of Adam,
and the superlapsus aud the sublapsua,
and test him as to whether be believes in
natural grace or acquired grace, whether
man is wholly depraved or only in part
and ir the latter, where the deprayity
stops and what relation il bears to the
rest of bis nature; but they never, never
suggest a question which would Indicate
that the souls or bodies Of the men Of the
nineteenth century are of the least posi-
bic moment. These ministers are easy
made. The doctors take little Of the
regulation dough, they mold it into
pretty little cake of exactly the right
shape, pinhole it with the necessary mum
Der of orthodox holes, put it on patty
pan, shove it into properly built oven,
and, when it is baked, ycu have your
pretty cracker ministers. Out on them,
and out on such a system. We are, as
people, given greatly to lying. Why,
the range of white lies alone is wonderful
ly long, running not onlyithrongh the high
est octaves but way up into the har-
monies, while the subbase of black lies
is simply tremendous. We must have
a change in our public men, and not only
in the lower classes OF officials, but even
in the halls of our most exalted national
council"

The Family in Heaven and on
gI AaI Earth,


IT'S but one family,-the sound is balm,
A seraph-whsper to the wounded heart,
Itlulls the storm of sorrow to calm,
And draws the venom from the Avengers
dart.
'Tis but one family--the accents come,
Like light from heaven to break the night Of
woe
The banner cry to call the spirit home,
The shout Of victory DER fallen foe.
Death cannot separate--is memory dead
Has thought too, vanished, and has love
grown chill
Has every relic and memento fed,
And are the living only with us still
No in our hearts the lost we mourn remain,
Objects of love and ever fresh delight,
And fancy leads them in her fairy train,
In haff-seen transports past the mourner's
sight.
Yes in ten thousand ways, or far or near,
The called by love, by meditation brought,
In heavenly vision yet they haunt us here,
The sad companions of our sweetest thought
Death never separates the golden wires
That ever trembled to theirnames before,
Will vibrate still, though every form expires,
And those we love, we look upon no more.
No more indeed in sorrow and in pain,
But even memorys need ere long will cease,
For we shall join the lost of love again,
In endless bonds and in eternal peace.

MARCH "A, 1865.
Heroic Girl.

A Warrenburg (Mo.) correspondent
of the St Louis Republican says;
A short time since, two men knocked
at the doM of an old gentleman by the
name of Bedicheek, living near Columbus,
in this county. and demanded admittance
His daughter, young lady of some
eighteen years, who, together with her
father, were the only inmates of the
house, asked what they wanted. They
could give no satisfaction, and she, on
going to The window, saw that they were
armed with guns. She told them that
she would not let both in; but that, if
one Of them would set his gun down, she
would let him in, at the same time tell
ing her father to be prepared for emer-
gencies. After coming in he asked if
there was any one else in the house ex-
cept himself and daughter, aud was told
that there was not. He then walked
back and examined the beds in the room,
returning to the fire, and says, "OId man,
have come here to kill you" at the
same time, drawing revolver from his
breast. The old man seized the pistol
with one hand, and threw the other
around his waist, and, being strong man
Of bis age, succeeded in holding him
while bis daughter ran to another part
of the house, seized corn knife, struck
him a severe blow, as she thinks, on the
arm holding the pistol, somewhat disa-
bling it, then fell to work On his head,
In the mean time the old man disengaged
himself, seized a sword cane, which he
fortunately had, and run the miscreant
through three times with it.
BY this time the villain was Justify
shouting murder, and calling to bis friend
to let him out. His friend ran around
the house to another door, and burst itin,
where he was met by this heroic girl,
and, receiving a severe cut, was forced
back, she shutting and boiling the door
in bis face, aud putting up curtain at
the window which had fallen down, TO
prevent his looking in. He then fred
some two or three shots at the window,
which was high up, and carried the shots
TO the ioists above. He then returned
to the first door, and broke that in, giving
his friend a chance to escape, which be
managed to DO, and he, being met by
the girl, backed out, no doubt being glad
to escape with what he had received
After a short time, the father aud daugh
ther, on leaving the house to 60 to a
nearly quarter Of mile of,
saw the hat of their first assailant lying
behind the hen house, literally cut to
pieces, aud the place where be probably
died, the ground being covered with blood,
and also the tracks Of horse, which had
come and no doubt carried off the dead
man.

Coon PICKLE FOR MEAT.-To four
gallons of water put sufficient common
salt TO make the liquid (when dissolved)
strong enough to bear an egg to float on
its surface; four ounces of saltpetre, and
half pound of very brown sugar. Boil
all these ingredients well together, and
skim it clear; strain it of, and when
cold put in the beef. Let the pickle
cover the meat, and in ten days it will be
ft for use. This pickle will keep for
two months, if il is bold at the end of
the first month.

HoRsE-HAIR JUsTIcE.-Says S. G.
Goodrich, 81 once knew a boy, in the
olden time of Webste7's Grammer, who
found this definition iu his book "a
noun is the name of thing as horse,
hair, Justice But he CHANGED to mis-
conceive it, and read it thus: "A noun is
the name of thing as horse~hair just
ice.' He was of reflective turn; and
long he pondered over the wonderful
mysteries of a noun. But in vain he
could not make it out. 1t so happened
that his father was justice Of the peace !;
and one day, when the boy went home,
the old gentleman was holding Justices
court. There he sat, in state, among
crowd of people, on ali old-fashioned,
horse-hair settee. A new light suddenly
broke in upon our young hero's mind
MY father said he, mentally, is horses
hair justice, and, therefore, noun z"

G5'The first exhibitions of poetic genius are
generally rather striking. An editor gives a
few specimen verses ofa poem which he cruelty
rejected;
81 had dreem,
thort was alone, alone,
Oh it did seme
So sad ava from home, from home.
Ny he'd upon my hand
l lent, lent;
Ny Use upon the sand
bent, bent.
thort of other days;
And things, and things;
Of happy, childish plase,
And strings, and strings"
This is neither so bold in conception nor so
affecting in conclusion as the following
"Poor Jonathan Snow
Away did go
All on the ragen name,
With other males
All for TO ketch wales
& mere come back agen.
The wind bloc hi,
The billers tost
All hands were lost,
And he was one,
A spritely lad,
