Mr.. Beecher on Lying.

IN late number Of the New York
Ledger, Henry Ward Beecher has an
amusing article in which he discusses the
question whether men can remember
what never happened. He shows that
such a stretch Of memory is possible by
one or two instances. We extract part
Of the article;
Some eighteen OF nineteen years ago,
soon after coming to Brooklyn, l heard
the following story told of the now ven
erable Dr. Samuel Cox, the father of many
brilliant sayings, as well as Of Bishop Cox,
of Western New York. The story ran
thus "On Sunday morning in August,
DR.. Cox, rising to the sermon, without
warning OF prefix, began, II is id hot
Looking around in a calm and lious way,
he wiped his forehead, and again said, 1t Is

The Effects OF Tobacco.

Rev. GEo. TRAsK, the ant, tobacco cham
pion, writes the following letter 10 the
Springfield Republican
Now and then we hear Of little gibes in
your paper at our expense. We do not
complain, because they subserve a good
end-they promote discussion. Agitation
we must have in order to fasten attention
on the great evil we battle. You will con-
cede, however, that the gibes should not
all be on one ENTHUSIASTICALLY we should
be permitted to occupy little space in
your columns. II seems that the one hun.
dredth birthday Of Mrs. Hannah Pettin-
gin, OF Belchertown, was celebrated few
days since, and among the presents On
the occasion, says your correspondent,
there was a new style of pipe, to take
the place Of the old one, which has lasted
her generation; for this good old CEN

"the old lady possesses all her faculties
Well. Mr.. Editor, we congratulate the
worthy old lady and her chi dren that she

the use Of rank poison. About fifteen
years ago we gave lecture on the South
Shore, in which we aimed to show that
as the common use of tobacco diminished

A MOTHERS BLINDNESS.
By rHBBE CARY.

BY PHRBE CARY.
A HuETsNAN, bearing his gun a-fold,
Went whistling merrlly;
When he heard the blacEest of black crows
Call out nom a withcred tree;-
You are going to kill the thievish birds,
And would If l were you;
But you mstn't touch my family,
Whatever else you dol'
I'm only going to kill the birds
That are eating up my crop;
And If your young ones do such things,
Bo sure they II have to Stop

Arc the best ones ever born;
There isn't one among them all
Would steal grain Of corn
a. But how shall know which ones they are,
Do they resemble youyn
o no." said the crow, "they're the prettIesi
birds,
And the whitest that ever aewr'
To OF wont the sportsman, whistlng,
And off, too, went his gun;
And its startling echoes never ceased
Again till the day was done.
And the old crow sat untroubled,
Cawing away in her nook;
For she SAID " Hell never kill my birds,
Since told him how they look.
Now there's the hawk my neghbor,
She'll see what she will see, soon;
And that saucy, whtstling blackhird
May have TO change his tuner
When, 10 she saw the hunter,
Taking his homeward track,
With a string OF crows as long as his gun
Hanging down his back.
Alack, alack l'' said the mother,
"What in the world have you donei
You promised to spare my pretty BIRDS
Aud you've killed them every one"
"Your birds ~ said the puzzled hunter:
why, found them in my corn;
And besides, they are black and ugly
As any that ever were bornl'
Get ont Of my sight, you stupid"
said the aRgriest of crows,
How good and fair the children are,
There's none but parent knows"

ENGLISH BISHOPS AND THE PoPE.--A
writer in the New York Herald thus refers
to the recent address of the English Bish-
ops v.
| If this address had not been written lt
would appear incredible that sucba pro,
duction could proceed from a b0dyso famed
for learning rs the prelates of the English
Church. That it's languageis ia bad taste'
that itaddresses Plus the IN inn strain OF sar-
casln and insult, oe which not only dignihcd
clergymen, but all moderate men sh9uld'p e
ashamed is inlmaterial but that,it has not
good foundation in fact is truly astonishing.
They ask sc Can'st thou the Popel show
us even O single copy of the original He
brew Old Testament printed in thine own
city n They answer triumph6ntty - NO,
not one.n This statement is strictly true.
There never was an edition OF the old
Testament in HehEeMnp ahlishedz ut Rome:
But some persons VIII probably De disposed
to think that one published at no very
great distance from Rsfae and sanctioned
by II Pope might answer every purpose.
Such was comprised in the well known
Polyglot Bible published in Spain by Car
dinal Ximenes, which was authorized bysss
bull of Leo X, in 1920, and published in
1892. In the same work the bishops might
have found New Testament in Greek,
which would probably be nearly as reliable
az the one which, lately published ut Rome,
they have now gratefully hailed" An
Old Testamentin Greek was published by
Sixtus ", at Rome, in 1887, which was
also published in Latin.
But the learned prelates reserve their
most wonderful charge for the last, when
they state it as their apprehension that
an edition from the Roman press, In Italian,
of the Old or New Testament is still want
ing. Yet the last named Pontif c1nsed
version of the Vulgate in Italian to be
made. n
Upon the whole the portion of the address.
published in the Herald Is So extraordinary
as to almost cause a doubt to arise of its
being genuine.
