Mr.. BEECHER on 'LYING.-In that No.
of the Ledger which is published to-day
Henry Ward Beecher has an amusing arti-
Gle, 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, the whole
of which is in Mr.. Beecher's happiest vein ::
Some eighteen or nineteen years ago,
soon after coming to Brooklyn, | heard the
following story told Of the now venerable
DR.. Samuel Cox, the father of many bril-
liant 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
or prefix began, 1t is ID hot Looking
around in q calm and pious wav, he wiped
his forehead, and again said 1t is Id
hot Waiting till he thought the words had
burnt in, he proceeded, These words, my
brethren, heard from the lips Of pro-
fame young man as entered the doors of
the church. Thereupon, the story goes, he
proceeded TO give an edifying discourse on
the sin. and folly of profane swearing"
When / first heard it I recognized the
story. 1t was an old acquaintance. 1t had
been doing service in England. It was told
of Rev. Rowland Hill, only in his case the
topic was not the weather, but the theatre,
ON which the young mans profanity was

- Father Smith,

TO the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
Gentlemen, Your issue of to-day con-
tains m article from the Shenandoah
Herald bearing the above caption. AS this
man made his appearance ut Harrisonburg
"a station visited by me monthly from
Staunton), beg leave to state through your
columns that he is an impostor, for whom
the Church is IN no wise responsible. He
imposed himself upon the Catholics of the
Valley as priest recently returned from
mission to the Indians in California, and
gained their confidence by pretending ac-
quaintance with d former highly-esteemed
pastor.
Learning accidentally of his presence
there, Immediately wrote to the leading
Catholic in Harrisonburg inquirlng VINO
he was, and by what authority he was act
ing, no priest from abroad being allowed to
perform any function without express au-
thority from the Bishop of the Diocese. On
learning of this inquiry, he decamped next
morning before daylight, having hrst WITT
ten me letter in German stating that he
WAS now Father Bernhard, Jesuit, &C.,
and signing himself Joseph Shmltt." AS
the Jesuits do not (like some other Orders
in the Church) assume new name IN en-
tering the Order, this incongruity alone was
sufficient to convince me that he was pre-
tender but, in order to expose him, wrote
at once to the Provincial of the Jesuits, who
replied that there was nc such man amongst
them, and that he was necessarily an i'm
postor.
On visiting Harrisonburg in regular
course found that he had told the mos,
outraged GUS falsehoods, and had performed
or pretended to perform, official acts not
only in the face Of existing laws of the
Church, but under circumstances held by
the Church to be sacrilegious, suoh as say
ing mass without vestments, chalice, or
altar-stone, &c.
On the strength of his supposed charac-
ter and of his nationality he obtained Gre
dit from some German Jews for some arti-
Giles Of clothing, but was pursued by one OF
them. and the articles recovered !; az also
was done by some Catholics in the Valley
who had given him money.
The Herald wonders why he was per-
mitted to escape. Of course this was at
the option of tho parties from whom he had
obtained property under false pretences.
No civil remedy could be had for the mere
assumption of the clerical character. All
that could do was to write to points in
advance of his course down the Valley,
and to the Archbishop of Baltimore, in
event Of his passing into the rural district
of Maryland, which did. Of course the
Church is no more responsible for the acts
OF this man than would be bank for the
acts OF counterfeiter, or an individual for
the fraudulent use of his name by q
sharper. ]. AMBLER WEED,

The story of my beginning g. sermon with
The nhrase 1T is id hot He at once
contradicted it. She affirmed it positively.
Ha renlied It have lately read pub
1;sbcd denial of the story from Mr.. Beecher
bimself.' She answered why, was pre-
sent myself at his church, and heard 1t with
nv own ears OF course he could not say
what he thought, but replied, am going
to New York, and l will myself call and
ask Mr.. Beecher.'
The case seemed so fragrant that | said to
him: "When you go back | wish you would
take occasion, before witnesses, to say to
this lady from me that she hes, and that
she kno,ns that she lies, and she knows that
know that she les"
This was very improper language, but |
was angry, and, besides, had been reading
the Tribune.
When I;had got thus far, a sweet young
girl who sat opposite me, brought up under
my eye almost from the cradle, and as in
capable of knowingly telling falsehood as
a rosebud would be of committing burglary,
this innocent and charming child of fifteen
looked over at me and said:
"But you did say 80, didn't you, Mr..
Beecher2 heard your"
For q moment there was silence. Then
came crash of laughter from the whole
company. Confused and blushing scarlet,
she said:
"Why. always thought that had heard
yon say ~
For the first time then believed that
person might distinctly remember what
never took place. take back the message
to the Buffalo lady, and humbly apolorize
for supposing that one could not recall
thing which never happened.

Olive Logan, last Tuesday night, in Mil
waukee, told story of Chicago freshness
that is worth repeating. At court ball at
the Tuliries, in Paris, on each of the steps
of the grand stairway stood two soldiers, in
helmets and uniform, who looked like sta
tues, SO we'll did they maintain their posi-
ton. A Michigan Avenue belle really took
them for such, and as she tripped lightly
and laughingly up the stairs she stretched
forth her daintily- gloved fingers, and ex-
tending them into the very face of the grim
soldier, innocently said Well, declare,
in all my born days never see eyes made
by q bronze man that looked as nat'ral as
these eyes do :" The incident created much
diversion among the hearers, but the SOL
der never needed it.
