ANOTHER LETTER FROM Mr.. BEECHEI

ANOTHER LETTER FROM Mr.. BEECHER.-
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, having been
elected an honorary member of the " Prin-
ters' Grant and Calfax G ub " in Washing
ton, wro'e the following letter in acknowl-
edgment of the compliment
Revolutions do not go backward, and
l have every confidence that the conscience
and intelligence which led this great nation
to resist slavery, and to defeat it, will now
refuse to put the government into the very
hands which either were raised against it
or which refused to help in its defence.
The new adhesion of impenitent southern
men to the very worst type of democratic
doctrine ever enunciated since the party
went into alliance with slavery cannot but
be as disastrous for the South as was the
league with the same party before the war.
The democratic party seems fated to lead
the South into desperate steps, and then to
be utterly unable to help those whom it has
deluded. 1t will be so again. Utterly lost
to all moderation, the convention in New
Y ork has laid down platform which will
bring civil war to the South again, unless
it is prevented by the victory of the Re-
publican party

The Pearl Wearer.
BY HARRY CORNWALL.

BY HARK1 COhN
Within the midnight of her hair
Half hidden in its deepest deeps,
A single peerless, priceless pearl,
All filmy.eyed forever sleeps.
Without the diamonds sparkling eyes,
The ruby's bluShes-there 1t lies
Modest as the tender dawn
When her purple veil's withdrawn
The flower of gems-a lily, cold and pale !
Yet, what doth all avail?
All its beauty, all its grace,
All the honors of its place?
He who plucked it from its bed
In the far blue Indian Ocean,
Lieth, without life or motion,
In his earthly dwelling-dead!
And his children, one by one,
When they look upon the sun,
Curse the toll by which he drew
The treasure from its bed of blue.
Gentle bride, no longer wear
In thy night black, odorous hair
Such a spoil! 1t is not fit
That a tender soul should sit
Under such accursed gem.
What need'st thou a diadem:
Ihou, Wltnln WnOse EasteiH t9 u
Thought, starry genius lies:
Thou, whom beauty has arrayed-
Thou, whom Love and Truth have made
Beautiful ?-~in whom we trace
Woman's softness, angels grace
All we hope for, all that streams
Cpon us in our haunted dreams
o, sweet lady cast'aside,
With gentle, noble pride,
All to sin OF pam allied.
Let the wild-eyed conqueror wear
The bloody laurel in his hair;
Let the black and snaky vine
Round the drinkers temple twine;
Let the slave-begotten gold
Weigh on bosoms hard and cold;
But be thou forever known
BY thy natural light alone!

Egyptian Women.

The Egyptian women are generally sup
posed in Europe to be shut up in the harems
like slaves, subject to all the caprices of their
lords, without any society whatever. This
is far from being the case. They are cunning
and shire wd enough to learn ,as soon as they are
married, to make their lives pass away pleas
antly enough. Being accustomed to confne-
ment, and taught from their earliest days
that it is their duty to study the whims and
fancies of those to whom they are to be mar
ried, they seek to do so, and by that means
nossess great influence over their husbands,

READ THIS TO Your SwEErHEARTs.-
The character of the young men of COM
munity depends much on that of the young
women. if the latter are cultivated, intel
ligent, accomplished, the young men will
feel the requirement that they themselves
should be upright, and gentlemanly and re-
fined but if their female friends are friv-
olous and silly, the young men will be
found to be dissipated and worthless. But
remember, always, that sister is the best
guardian of brothers integrity. She is
the surest incubator of faith in female
purity. As daughter, she is the true
light of home, The pride of the father
oftenest is centered in his sons but his
affection is expended on his daughter
She should therefore be the sun and centre

The Religion of Japan.
ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF BUDDHIs,


DR.. ID. b. Simmons contributes an in
teresting article on the religion of Japan to
the September number of Hours at Home
What is known as the " Shinto faith was
the only religion of the Japanese for
centuries. 1t was indigenous and peculiar
to the Japanese, and accounts in meta
phorical way for the creation of man and of
the universe. The Shintos do not believe in
future state of eternal punishment, and
generally are optimists. They believe in
feasting rather than in fasting and their
only serious observance is that of making
pilgrimages Their temples are always plac-
ed in the most attractive and picturesque
spots. the approaches to which are tree-lined
avenues, with impressive entrance gates. At
the great religious festival no Buddhist is
allowed to approach, except in the guise of
layman. On their pilgrimages strict alb
stinence is observed from everything unclean

The Germans have discovered device
for making the leech indefinitely useful in
blood-taking. When the gourmand has
nearly filled himself, and is about to drop
off, a small incision is made in his side,
through which the blood will flow freely.
The reptile, finding he is not quite full,
will keep on sucking until an ounce or two
of blood has been drawn off. By careful
treatment the leech can be healed, and
used again and again. This invention must
have been suggested by the Yankee inven-
tion of the " patent back-action hen-per-
suader."

the value Of the debt of the country.
BY the returns in the report Of the
eighth census, it appears that the actual
wealth of the great States Of New York,

owned BY each citizen, amounted to the
sum Of five thousand eight hundred and
fifty.four million four hundred and thirty.

lican party had the power to drive the
citizens of those States from their homes,
send them penniless among strangers,
sell all the property they had left behind,
and apply the proceeds Of the sales upon
the payment Of the debt, the Federal
Government would still owe the cnor-

The last of the criminal cases before the
Hastings Court was tried this morning. 1t
was that of youth by the name Of Sceba
Thayer, about sixteen or seventeen years
of age, but a very reckless and aban-
doncd character. A few weeks ago one OF
our citizens had valuable gold watch
stolen from his house, and for a time there
was no clue leading to the detection of the
thief. Thayer, less cautious than one
might have supposed, broke up the case t
dispose Of it by piecemeal, but on one o.
the fragments the number Of the watcf
still remained, and when taken to jewel.
Ter to be sold, it betrayed him. The stolen
article was fully identified by this means
and this morning, after patient trial, the
jury brought in q verdict of guilty, ana
fixed his punishment at ten years lmpF'-
sonment in the penitentiary.
Yesterday morning, Richard Madeira,
