Mr.. Beecher on GEN. Lee.

In his great political sermon proclaim
ing his adhesion to the President aud his
plan of reconstruction, the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher uttered the following
words of charity and christian kindness
concerning the late rebel commander.in.
chief, Robert Il. Lee:
l was panied by the many criticisms /
saw in the papers uson Gen. Lee, when
he was made PressseEesof o Southern
College. In an hour Of great weakness
he committed himself to the cause Of re-
bellion. Since that time, however, he
has acted as we'll became him the fact
granted that he coDscientiously believed
in the cause Of the South, We must nd.
nit that he has conducted himself with
out unnecessary violence; and when he
laid down his sword who could he more
modest, more quiet, more honorable than
he? And when he was called to the
presidency Of the college, I was glad 10
see him take it. He needed to do some
thing to support himself, and the criti
eisms made by our papers were as ungen
erous as they were unfair. believe that
the young men who attend that iDstitu.
ton will be drilled in the main, and | am
heartily glad he obtained the position.

Some years ago we had an elegant new

name. A Richmond (ya.) paper con-

until suddenly he comes up, all standing,
against some hidden snag, which nearly
shivers his timbers to pieces. Whenever
he moves he puts tho waters in agitation
for time, and leaves wake Of troubled
waters lehind him, which lasts about
five minutes. He serves everybody but
himself and carries freight and passen-
gers in any quantity. Often his powers
are overtasked, and the boiler bursts; bu,
fortunately it kills no one but himself,

A Bashful Lover.

The following is the most touching
case Of bashfuluess on record
The Rev. John Brown was a man Of
singular bashfulness. In token of the
truth of this, it need only be stated that
his courtship lasted seven years. Six
years and half passed away, and the
reverend gentleman had got no further
than he had the first six days. This state
became intolerable. A step in advance
must be made, and Mr. Brown summoned
all his courage for the deed. sa
"Janet." said he, breaking solemn 81

HOW Gen. jackson kept sunday

General Jackson went down to New
Orleans upon an occasion, and he met of

from his old friends and comrades in

in readiness for the contemplated visit to

gentlemen Of the committee were duly
Informed of this, and considerable con.

everything was then ready, they conclu-

and tell him of the circumstances and

odd, if not Puritanic, for him to refuse
compliance with their wishes. This was
done. The General listened to-swhat
they had to say, and then, turning his
keen black eyes upon them, (which spar

A Painful Scene-The sentence
of Death Read to a Woman.

The Pittsburgh Post gives an account
Of the reading Of the death.scnteDcc to
Mrs. G. Grinder, the allcdged poisoner, by
the Sheriff and bis party. 1t says: 5000
CAS- we entered Mrs. Grinders cell
she was sitting upon her bed, leaning
heavily upon her counsel. Thomas NJ.
Marshall, ESQ.,, weapins and meaning in
great distress. The Sheriff announced
his painful duty to her, and proceeded
with the warrant, which, in her case,
fixes the nineteenth day of January as
the day Of her execution. During the
reading the condemned woman continued
weeping bitterly, clusping the hands Of
Mcssrs. Marshall and Kirkpatricp, and
leaning against them in utter dispair.-
After tho reading Mrs Grinder vehement,
ly declared her innocence, and broke out
still moro yehemently in exhibitions Of
grief and dispair. -}i.--.H
"The Sheriff advised her as to The use
she should make of the short time still
left to her Mr.. Marshall spoke to her
with emotion, telling her that there was
absolutely no hope Of reprieve, for the
Governor has left the country and proba
bly, will not return until after~the 10Th
Of January. He urged on her the necess.
ity of giving up all thoughts Of pardon
and dcvotirg all her time to making pre-.
parations to meet her God. IF she we're
as innocent as she -suys. she has nothing
to fear from the entrance to the next
world. She interrupted him by renewed
protestatioDs- Of innocence, but sayi1g
that she knew she was sinner. She
pleaded earnestly for the privilege
Of having her husband in the cell with
her fer farewell visit She also urged
Mr.. Marshall and Sheriff Stewart to have
him released She then, still weeping
violently, bid Mr.. Marshall and Sheriff
Stewart ftrewel. After most of the rarty
had left the cell the continued strain
on tic nervous system ofthe wretched
woman became too great, and she became
hysterical and tainted. After the appli.
cation Of restoratives she recovered and
soon became comparatively calm.
"This was truly most painful scene,
and more trying duty than that which
devolved on Sheriff Stewart can not well
be conceived. The manner ia which he
performed that duty is worthy of the
highest commendation. His copsiderate
kindness of manner, and the heroic effort
which he evidently had to make in order
to 30 through the trying scenes impressed
all who we're present with him."
