Chrtsuan Patience at Plymouth Church.
Yesterday, just upon the eve Of his DEPART
ure to the relaxation and refreshment Of
mountain and seashore, the Rev. Mr..
Beecher treated Of an admirable theme in his
Brooklyn temple Of worship. ''Christiau
Patience was the topic which he selected, not
merely, we may believe, in reference to the
supply Of that high virtue necessary to enable
the most devout to. brave the killing heat OF
the weather In their attendance at church, but
keeping in view the fearful conflicts OF life in
this most anxious aud troubled time Of ours that
has brought such intense unrest to creeds and
doctrines, municipalities and powers, lands and
nations-nay, even to the solid globe beneath
our feet and to the heavens that arch above us.
The thirty-sixth verse of the tenth chapter
of Hebrews, Mr.. Beecler's text, exhorts to
patience in order that, having done the will OF
God, we may receive the promised recompens0
Of all just and Cody living. And this, while
it is the essence Of Christian courage, is the
rule of all true and lasting progress. AS the
reverend preacher most eloquently and
appositely discoursed, the great, good growths
are comparatively slow growths. The lettuce
in the garden springs up almost in night, and
so springs the mushroom in the field;
but the sturdy oak and the cedar
on Mount Lebanon count their slow &C
erection by ages and outlive dynasties and en-
pires. In like manner the formation of dis
tinguished character i graaSsl ana o!'en mos.
perplexing to the parent anu "e tutor Ing Ing,
throes of nature are great before some mighty
birth; the earth opened and trembled and the
veil of the Temple was rent when the mystery
of the Saviour's apotheosis on Mount Calvary
was accomplished; and so any grand result,
any high attainment in man, comes from intense
labor, honest hope and untiring patience

danger Of forgetting this healing and saving
doctrine in their pain at the crimes and miser-
les they behold, and the community owes earn
est thanks to the pulpit that reminds us of the
high lesson Of Christian endurance. Tho
great wheels of eternal truth and justice may
revolve but slowly in bringing forth the good
and crushing down the evil but they cannot be
stayed. Says Fuller, whose mind was not dis

gloomy predictions OF our correspondent as to
an impending Indian war may not be realized.
1t would be deplorable, indeed, If the return
of Spotted Tail, Red Cloud and the rest of the
chiefs who lately visited Washington should
be followed by outrages and massacre alt
along the northwestern frontier. II the very
latest news from the Indian delegation may be
credited, Red Cloud at least has been hope
fully converted to pacific intentions.

WHO DID AND Who DIDN'T.-Whie the
hostile armies of France and Prussia are facing
each other, waiting for the order to attack, the
Cabinets of the respective countries are quar-

the war. What nonsense! If they are going
to fight, why don't they pitch in?

DULL IN THE CITY.--Business in the city
was never more dull than it is at present.
With the exception of the little hustle that
is going on among the wholesalers, who are
putting things in order and getting ready tor
brisk fall trade, there is literally nothing
doing. The fashionables are all at the watering
places; the shopkeepers are tanning them
selves on the shady side of their front doors !;
politicians are lying along the river banks
and the ocean beach; the city officials with
the exception of Mayor Hall, who has become
an active member the Cant-get-away Club,
are mostly on the Sound or slowed away in
country boarding houses hotel propretors are
rusticating on their farms, while their walters
are lying around the ice tanks or snoozing in
the attics. Thus it will be for six weeks to
come, -
