From Beecher's Royal Truths.
Uu,morfnli OF Love.

never saw n man who did not believe
in the immortality of love when follow
ing the body of loved one to the grave,
| have seen men under other circum-
stances that did not believe in it, but
never saw man that, when he stood
looking upon the form of one he really
loved stretched out for burial, did not
revolt from saying: "It has all come to
that; the hours of sweet companiOnship;
the wonderous interlacings of tropical
souls; the joys, the hopes, the trusts,
the unutterable yearnings-there they
all lie." No man can stand and look
into coffin upon the body of fellow
creature, and remember the flaming in
telligence, the blossoming love, the
whole range of divine faculties, which
so lately animated that cold clay, and
say, "These have all collapsed and gone"
No person can witness the last sad GER
emonials which are performed over the
remains of human being-the sealing
of an unopenable lid; the following OF
the rumbliug procession to the place of
burial: the letting down of dust into
dust; the falling of the earth upon the
hollow coffin, with those sounds that
are worse Inau luuuueI, anu TIC pIdClhB =
of the green sod over the grave-no per
ton, unless he be a beast, can witness
shese things, and then turn away and
bay, az have buried my wife; have
suried my child; l have buried my sis
ter, my brother, my love-
God forbid that we should bury any
thing. There is no earth that can touch
my companion. There is no earth that
can touch my child. Iwould l fight my
little breath and strength away before
would permit any clod to touch them.
The jewel is not in the ground. The
jewel has dropped out of the casket,
and l have buried the casket, not the
jewel. And you may reason, Won may
carry the case before the supreme court
of my understanding. All that is in me
revolts at the decision and spurns it,
and says: ''You must try heart cases be-
fore the heart" We will not believe but
there is life somewhere else; we will
not believe that life is buried here; and
the soul goes out and cries like a child
lost in the woods, TO find itself in this
strange world, saying, "Where am II
and who shall guide me, that long and
yearn and reach upwardF

The Financial Question.

An excellent and unanswcrahle argu-
mcnt in favor of the immediate restora-
ton Of the Southern States to their con
stltuuonal relations with the Federal
Government is found in the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury. Among
the plans witch the Secretary proposes
i"r the Improvement of the financial af-
fairs Of the nation is the rehabilitation
oi the Southern States. He urges this
matter upon the attention of Congress
with great clcarncss and force. The re-
port says:

The Gnase of Ireland.

The article we copy from the New
York WorH relative to past misgovern-
ment in ireland, will be found interest
ING and instructive. 1t is valuable as
affording some insight into the causes
of the uprising now threatened in that
country: it is also useful in suggesting
the probable course of other cOmmuni-

THE PRESIDENTS MES
SAGE.
Opinions of the Press.
From the New York World, Dem


The only question connected with the
restoration of the Union which has any
remaining vitality, is the admission OF
the Southern members.
The President adheres to his former
views with resolute, indomitable stead
mess, but with the calmness of con-
scious strength.
Both the tone and the arguments of
the Message, on this leading topic, are
excellent. In dignity, decorum, and
chaste simplicity of language. few mes
sages ever sent to Congress have been
more creditable.
From the New York Sun, Ind Rep.l
The document bears evidence of care
full and thoughtful preparation, is dig
nified in tone, able in argument, re-
spectful in language, yet firm and deci-
sive in the opinions expressed upon mat
ters of national concern.
While the President clings tenacious
" to his old position on the reconstruc-
ton question, there is marked change
for the better in his manner toward
Congress. His views are presented with
marked courtesy and respect. There is
an entire absence of that arbitrary dis
position which he too often manifested
last winter in his relations with Con-
gress.
From the New York News, DEM
In its treatment of questions of i'm
mediate domestic interest we are lit
tie disappointed. 1t is carefully writ
TENN one sense of the word perhaps
too carefully; that is, with caution
that is suggestive of timidity. We hop
ed for firmer and more emphatic asser-
ton of the Executive policy, and the
expression of more resOlute antagon-
ism to the position of the revolutionary
party in Congress.
from the Philadelphia Age, Dem.
1t is a calm, temperate document,
and the positions are stated clearly and
argued with great force.
The position of the President upon
the question of reconstruction and rep
resentation will be eminently satisfac-
tory to the true friends of republican
liberty in the nation.
The line formerly drawn by the Pres
ident between himself and the Radical
party upon this vital issue has been
again marked out with unmistakable
distinctness, and the contest is now,
State rights and constitutional repre-
sentation, on the one hand; and on the
other, Congressional usurpation and ma
tional consideration.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle, Rad
The President employs no violent
language, and casts no imputations up
ON the integrity of Congress, but he de-
clines to abandon his own convictions.
He expresses the desire for harmony
between the coordinate departments of
the Government but he is mistaken in
his opposition to the proceedings of the
Legislative Department.
The message is dignifed in tone, and
unsatisfactory in matter. The opportu-

Hoenan is living quietly at the Me-
tropolitan Hotel in New York. OF his
wife it is said: She is widely known
for her public readings in many of our
principal cities n few years ago. She
was then just passing into womanhood,
and those who remember her girlish
figure and lady-like manner will hardly
believe that the same is now Mrs. John
C. Heenan. How the bruised and bat
tered pugilist ever won the affections
of the woman is mystery, especially
to those who knew her when she was a
pretty, child-like schoolgirl, the beloved
daughter of highly aristocratic parents

The interesting ceremony of taking
the veil took place at st. Peters Church
yesterday morning, when three young
ladies' took the white veil, preparatory
to joining the order of st. Dominic.
Bishop Fechan officiated on the occasion,
aided by Father William Carrell, Pro-
vincial of the Dominican order of the
United States. Having taken the veil
they will remain with the sisters for
one year, and if they like the life and
the Mother Superior is satisfied with
their conduct, they will then take the
black veil and final vows of the order.
They are natives Of Perry county, Ohio,
their names being Agnes kintz, who
will hereafter be known as Sister Cath

and Teresa Ray, now Sister Agnes

COMPLIMENT TO SECRETARY
WELLEA

The New York Herald pays the following
high compliment to the Secretary of the
Navy:
ain the construction Of vessels, steam ma
chinery, and iron-clads the American navy
occupies prominent position, and will bear
comparison with that Of any other in the
world; but there is great room for improve
ment in its personnel Here the example
of England and France might be followed
with advantage. We gave in our columns
yesterday valuable history Of the navies of
the great maritime nations, from which a
profitable lesson may be learned. Our navy
is young, and in comparison with its age it is
not behind that Of Older nations. We have
learned more during the last four years Of
war than in the three-quarters Of century
which precsaed them, in the way of con-
structing navy. That we have improved
the opportunity is admitted Five years ago
we had no navy that could compare with that
Of the maritime Powers of Europe. To-day
we have no rival upon the ocean"

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE-A
.f,IN WARLIKE LOOK.

A writer on European affairs sums up the
situation as follows:
"The German question was regarded as on
the very point Of war, although hopes Of q
Congress were still entertained in some
quarters. Prussia had massed her entire
army on the frontier, Austria had called out
"every soldier" Italy was most energetic in
in her war preparations, Bavaria had mobil-
lied her army, Turkey was about to take the
same step, and Russia is reported as moving
q portion Of her forces. Napoleon delivered
q most significant speech at Auxerre, in
which he said he "detested" the treaty of
1915. The words were regarded as "sig-
nal" for war. An attempt had been made
to assassinate Count Bismark in Berlin.
1.-THE United States Minister in Vienna had
protested against the march Of Austrian vol
nnteers for Mexico. Some OF the newly
raised companies were disbanded in conse-
quenee. Others had entered the Austrian
army"
