1t is because Mr.. Beecher has so many re-
markable points and ways that people like to
read little paragraphs about him. Not long
ago Methodist brother had chat with him
on matters and things in general The Meth
9dist brother says, asked If it was true that
Plymouth church building was about to be
enlarged. Mr. Beecher said, sno' Do YOU
then intend to build anew? i inquired. mo
said he, the project is broached every year at
pew-letting time, on account of the demand
for seats, and the high prices they fetch, but
it speedily dies down. We were very near
building just as the war broke out, and had
we done so it would have been wise move
ment; but everything was so uncertain, and
the future looked SO dark, that the thing fell
through. My people feel, and SO do i, that 1
am not SO young as once was, and should |
drop of, larger building would not be want
ed. We can seat 2500, and manage to squeeze
in 5000 as it is.' l reminded him that he was
comparatively young, and that his father be-
fore him lived to great age; and that he
might have many years of effective labor be-
fore him yet. Yes,' he said, but my father,
though hard working man, did not pass
through the exciting scenes and labors that
have befallen me. The life of minister in
country village or town is not worn and vast
ed as Is that of city pastor, liable to innu-
merable calls and always on the strain. 1
shall probably drop down in the harness some
day, and not live to be DID, But, 1 said,
you take exercise, you believe in and practice
muscular Christianity?' Not SO much as 1
ought to, or as it is generally supposed that
do. / have been in Brooklyn nineteen years,
and never in all that time have wet a trout
line, and beyond an occasional visit and spend
ing my summer vacation here, 1 know no re-
taxation The strain on city pastor, situat-
ed as am, is constant and severe Mr..
Beecher is aging fast His hair grows gray
and thin. On my remarking to Mrs. Beecher,
as we drove to the train that saw great
difference in him since my last interview with
him, nine years ago, she replied, Yes, it was
that terrible war. 1t made us all look and
feel DID, Mr.. Beecher has worn and weary
look, and does not present the appearance Of
robust health'I have always hitherto associat-
ed with him."

in my family for some time past MY little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken of rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss of sleep
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or pallatiyes were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention was called by a phys-
clan not now in practice TO Dodd's Neryie This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the conyulsions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quert, and very much less severe she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
left of the whoopng cough was thereafter OF no
