Beecher's Lecture Room TaIk.

Here are those who have slipped up
in morals, who are lacking in truth
and fidelity; whose appetites have got
ten the best of them; men and women
who are clear off the track. Some
thing can be done for these by public
means and by the influence of the fami-
ly; but there comes q time in some
households when child won 'tlet any
body at home touch him. These
might be saved If there was only some
body to save them. / believe it is the
living man alone who can cure those
sick in this way. You can't do it with
whole church full of folks. Some
body should undertake to be what
Christ is to US in love and sympathy.
When they are rebufed, they must
not be angry, but go again, each time
with more patience; when they are
lied to, they must not give way to dis
gust, but keep at the good work We
often hear men say, ~ have gone far
enough with that worthless scamp. I
have tried and tried, and there's no
kind of use of wearing myself out in
any such hopeless cause. Why the
trouble is you havn't t done anything
you hayn't gone any distance
What we want is somebody to lay
down their lives for the wanderer;
somebody who will stick to him, hold
on to him, refuse to let him gos Look
at the mother. The father is out of
patience with the boy long ago, but
the mother would do Just as much for.
him as on the day he was borne. This
name is dearer to her than any other
on earth. Thousands could be savedi if
we could only find somebody to wrap
a warm heart around them. Suppose
the sympathy was wasted, o and we
should never see of the travail of our
soul, and be satisfied. This sympathy
is not squandered-it is impossible to
waste it. For long time to come
men do not need to study artificial
ways for self-denial, The world is too
full of poor creatures needing our help
for that. ge-r,z .y- ~ Icfzs;raa,31

How TO MEND STocKINGs.-We
were amused the other day at lady
friends account of the, manner in
which her servant girl mended her
stockings. When a hole appeared in
the toe, Bridget tied a string around
the stocking below the aperture and
'eut off the projecting portion. This
operation was repeated as often as
necessary, each time pulling the stock
ing down little, until at last it waa
nearly all cut away, when Bridget
sewed ON new legs, and thus kept her
stockings always in repair!- Porttosad

stone burst in saw-factory, and killed
four men. She just happened to remem-

the wall SO she went out and gotan ac-

pie-board in front of her, so that if the
Thing exploded, her face would not be

The Galveston Nel0 says of the recep.

The Galveston NeS0 says of the recep-
ton of Horace Greeley in that city:
We hold that the ovation bestowed
yesterday and today ON Horace Greeley
is in all its surroundings and circum-
stances one of the most remarkable oc-
currences of the day. 1t is a tribute to
honesty and manhood, such as no man
in his age has received, and such as is
more honorable to him than would be
q mOnarch's $ crown or an emperor's di-
adem. 1t is'the respect that royalty
lays on the grave of Washington. 1t
is the honor that loyal men and loyal
soldiers give to the memory of their
dead enemy, General Lee, 1t is the
tear that old rebels drop for the home
ly virtues and kindly heart of their
dead enemy, Abraham Lincoln. 1t is
the tribute that manhood gives to in
tegrity, and this lesson impressed upon
our young is worth dozen schools, and
half score of colleges

The Editor.

The editor is always at leisure cOnse-
quently he is ready to receive visitors
at all hours. Any man who hasn't
anything else to do, can run in for an
hour or two, talk of the weather, the
crops, his wife and children. 1t don't
make any difference what the editor is
doing. Go for him give your idea of
what the party will go to the devil if
pens to be reading proof, don't shut
your mouth but keep cabling, and
when it is corrected ask him to let you
see it. Be sure and disagree with him
about the spelling of a word. If he is
writing, get hold, if you can, OF what
he is writing, and show him the false
position he has assumed in the opening
of the article. If you have anything
you wish to get into the local column,
get itall mixed up giving it to the so
cal" and when it comes out in the
next issue word for word as you gave
it, call him an ass, with q warm ad-
jectiye before it. When you are
through with the editor, drop into the
composing room. IF the foreman is
busy, tell him stories. Run your hand
carelessly over matter on the stone,
and if you can succeed in knocking it
into pi, you have achieved something
wonderful; If you don't get kicked cut
of doors trot around to each case, ask
the compositors what they are on; il
you can sing or go through the double
shuttle, don't let the opportunity slip,
go in heavy. Finally wander away,
and if curses, both loud and deep,
don't follow you, then we are mistaken
as to the nature of editors and print

I %. When Ezekiel Webster Daniels

he was employed to defend the will of
Roger Perkins, of Hepkinton. The
physician made affidavit that the tesla
tor was struck with death when he
signed his WILL, Mr.. Webster subjected
his testimony to most searching ex-
animation, showing by quoting medi-
cal authorities, that doctors disagree as
to the precise moment when dying
man is sstruck with death; some affirm
that it is at the commencement of the
fatal disease, others at the climax; and
Others still affirm that we begin to die
as soon as we are born. ST should like

sing counsel, sHtwhat doctor maintains

What Don Piatt Knows about Ad-
vertising. sf =

Don Piatt, in a recent Washington
letter, says:
| Iwent out the other day to purchase
some furniture for an Office, and having
selected my articles turned to the
man and said: -..s-T
not ?''- '-lo A-fi-
No, sir; we never ADVERTISE
then quietly informed him that
never bought furniture, and moved on
to another establishment. You will
think | am romancing, but precisely
the same conversation occurred at the
second store. Itried q third, quite a
large establishment, standing on cor
ner, kept by Christian (and / propose
TO advertise him now of the Mosaic
name of MoSeS-MOSes d Sons at that.
They have quite an assortment in the
upholstery line, and I suggested adj
vertising to the senior, and received in
answer that he occupied a corner, a
conspicuous corner, and had large
sign on it that everybody could read
from the street, and with that it was
quite unnecessary to go to further ex-
pense in the way Of advertising. Then
said unto Moses: -.
'Do you know, my Christian friend,
that when a man possessed of any
amount of money wishes to furnish 8
house in Washington, he goes to Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York, and
even unto Boston ?'' - -.
Yes he responded, Il know that
is so.' ~ i',- i'l-
Well, do you know the reason for
it ?'
why, of course I do, he replied
with some asperity. These people
come here from Boston and other plac-
es, and are interested in the manufacto-
ries at home, and of course wont pur-
chase in Washingtonr' -.
My Christian friend 1 continued,
you labor under a monstrous delusion.
These men do not own any manufacto-
ries of furniture at home, and if they
knew they could escape such taxes by
getting their furniture of you they
would not buy where they payso heav-
lily for transportation. But they do MT
know that you exist. They read the
papers and they see no mention made
of Moses unless it be Sunday paper,
and then the moses spoken of is man
dead long ago-yet no deader than you
are, come to think of it.. A man who
UU6S uO6duV0TLlS6 Is as c6lQ as MOSES.
You say you have a sign out here; that
is not the sign asked for few people
see, and those who do can't read it.
For one man walking idly down the
street who reads, there hundreds who
do not read; for one who notices your
abortion in black and white out there,
q newspaper would take your business
to thousands. Why, my Christian
friend, immense fortunes have been
made by advertising. Did you ever
hear of the Ledger?'
He had heard of the LEDGER
Did you ever hear of Helmbold's
Buchu?' = rte.vsa7,
He had never heard of Helmbold's
Buchu. He had seen gentleman by
the name of HelmbOld driving down
the avenue during the Carnival, with a
great quantity OF horses, and thought |
he was part of the administration. / |
gave him up in despair, and yet this is
a specimen of the business man at the
magnificent national capital of ourgreat
country.

God made men to take care of prin-

When either sex thrusts itself into the
others work the results are mournful,
When women and unmanly men set
themselves up to judge of general
truths, they always fail to distinguish
between the man and his opinion.
Hence there is no bitterness in religion
or politics like their bitterness. The
ability to make the distinction specifi-
ed is the ecrucial test of manliness.
