| Keep Your Eye on 1our NelSuoof
Take care of them, do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong ifyou do. To be sure
you never knew them to do anything
bad, bu. it may be on your account they
have not Perhaps if it had not been
| for your kind care, they might have
disasaced themselves and families a long
time ago. Therefore do not relax any
effort to keepth where they onsht to
be; never mind your own business; that
will take care of itself. There is a man
passing along-he is looking over the
fence-be suspicious Of him, perhaps be
cOntemplates stealing one of these dark
nights; there is no knowing what queer
fancies be has got into his head.
If you fiad any sy mptoms of any one
passing out of the path of duty, tell
every one else what you see, and be
particular to see great many. 1t is a
good way to circulate such things,
though It may not benefit yourself nor
any one else particularly. Do keep
something goiug-silence is dreadful
thing; though it is said there was silence
in heaven for tho space Of half an hour,
do not let any such thing occur on
earth; it would be too much like heav-
en- for this mundane sphere. If, after
all your watchful care, you cannot see
anything out of the way in any one, you
may be sure It is not because they have
not done auytliag bad; perhaps in an
upguarded moment you lost sight of
,hem-throw out hiuts that they are 20
better than they ought to be-that you
should not wonder if tho people found
out what they were after awhile, that
they may not carry their head" SO high.
LrsE Ikea RIvER.-Bisnop Hebcr,
upon departing for India, said in his
farewell scrmon: r !,
"Lifssssars US on like the stream Of
a a mighty river. Our boat at frst goes
down the mighty channel-,hro' the
playful murmurings Of the little brook,
and the willows upon its grassy borders.
The trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads, the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young
hands; We are happy in the hopes and
grasp eagerly at the beauties around us;
the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty, Our course in youth
and 10 manhood is along wider, deep
er food, and amid objects more strik-
ing and magnificent. We are animated
by the moving picture Of enjoyment and
industry passing us; we are excited ny
our short lived enjoyment. The stream
bears us on, and joys aad griefs are left
behind US. We may be ship wrecked,
but we cannc. be delayed ; for rough or
smooth, the river hastcns toward its
home, till the roar Of the ocean is in our
ears, and the waves beneath our feet,
and the foods are lifted around US, and
we take our leave of earth and its in
habitants, until Of our further voyage
there is no witness save the infinite and
Eternal"

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
"wnen rogues quarrel, honest men get their
dues.n SO says an old pr0ver0. and II would seem
as II its truth about 10 be demonstrated by the
excuses prevarlcatons and denials made by certain
prominent individuals whose regulations have not
been benefited by the conspicuous parts which they
have played IN the recent klchardson- N &C Farland
tragedy Mr. Beecher went to the bedside OF
dying man and instead OF administering the last
consultations OF cllgion, sealed an unholy compact
by uniting MIN TO a woman whose lawful husband
was livlng; and when pubic Indignation Is hurled
against nun ne pieads ignorance VI the facts as an
excuse for hts unherd OF conduct, and throws the
blame upon anotner-Horace Greeley. Ine latter,
IN an interview with a reporter, denies
completely In the matter, dlsowninR any per-
sonal Intimacy with Richardson or his mis-
tress, and declaring himself exempt nom all
free love DOCTRINES Mir. Beecher only makes
bad worse BY pretending ignorance OF
matter OF pubic discussion without stopping
slider whether nc was doing right or wrongS But
This utelig ent ago it ~ hard to believe that
learned divine should make diltgent inquiryu aud
yet have only vague Impressions" And II Mr..
Greeley has nothing whatever TO do with this DIS
II he reads tho papers''-and we are to presume
that he does-he must surely know that he II sup
posed To be more or less connected with the BIAS
phemous ceremonies enacted ut the lAstor House.
Time, If nOLnK else will bring the truth to light
and bestow the blame upon those who deserve lt.
1t Is manifest, however, that the partcpators IN the
Anair are thoroughly ashamed of themselves; but
their lame apologies Will not satisfy an inquifing
public, and until more reasonable excuses are given
people will still be OF the opinion that ~ has been
