On SUNDAY the 18th inst, the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher is reported TO have de-
livered "a strong" sermon. His subject was
1.-The purify Of the ballot box; his points were
embracing and :o:cib.e: i'll fact, practical and
suggestive. Let plain people read and study
his remarks. fle is Beecher, but what can We,
of this section think. when Mr. B. boldly as

beyond his personal needs; no doubt he helps
the poor in his Church, is self sacrificing and
selfdenying. like the followers of Christ gener-

OUR ESCAPE FROM MON
ARCHY.
How a Frenchman Wanted to
Ascend the American
Throne

The following curious anecdote is
related in Paine's "Rights of Man"
at page .6S of the London edition of
1871:
Twill introduce an anecdote
which 1 had from DR.. Benz.
Franklin:
While the doctor resided in
France as minister from America,
during the war, he had numerous
proposals made to him by projectors
of every country and of every kind
who wished to go to the land that
loweth with milk and honey, Amer
lea; and among the rest there was
one who offered himself to be
king.
He introduced his proposal to the
doctor by letter, which is now in the
hands of NJ. Beaumarchais,of Paris,
stating, that, as the Americans had
dismissed or sent away their king
they would want another; secondly,
that he himself was Norman;
thirdly, that he was of \ more an
cient family than the dukes of Nor
mandy, of more honorable descent,
his line never having been bastard
lied; fourthly, that there was al
ready predecent in England of
kings coming out of Normandy.
And on these grounds he rested his
offer, ,enjoining that the doctor would
forward it to America
But as the doctor neither did this,
nor yet sent him an answer, the pro-
jector wrote a second letter,in which
he did not, is true, threaten to go
over and conquer America, but only
with great dignity proposed that if
his offer was not accepted, an ae-
acknowledgement of about f30OOO
might be made to him for his gen
erosity.

The Vagabond Sage.

And old man of very active phys
iognomy, answering to the name of
Jacob Wilmot, was brought to the
police court.
His clothes looked as though they
might have been bought second
hand in his youthful prime, for they
had suffered more from rubs of the
world than the proprietor him
self.
What business?
None; I'm a traveller
"A vagabond, perhaps?
You are not far wrong. Travel
ers and vagabonds about the same
thing. The difference is that the
latter travels without money and the
former without brains,'
Where have you travelled?
All over the continent
For what purposeS
Observation
What have you observed?
"A little to commend, much to CEN
sure, and a great deal to laugh
at
'Humph! what do you commend?
"A handsome woman who will stay
at home; an eloquent preacher that
will preach short sermons; a good
writer that will not write too much,
and fool that has sense enough to
hold his tongue
What do you censureT
"A man that marries girl for her
fine clothing; youth who studies
medicine while he has the use of
his hands; and the people who will
elect drunkard to office
What do you laugh ats'

position TO command that respect
which his personal qualifications
and qualities do not merit

A married lady who was in the
habit of spending most of her time
in the society of her neighbors, hap
pened one day to be taken i'll, and
sent her husband in great haste for
a physician. The husband ran a
short distance, and then returned
exclaiming:
My dear, where shall l find you
when come back?'
A sly old deacon, wishing to give
his pastor hint to put more juice
into his sermons, said to him one
day:
Il must get seat nearer the pull

Young Men, Consider.

Having noticed an article in our last
"weekly," entitled q" Girls, don't talk slang,
| thought a word to the boys might be useful.
We fully coincide with the sentiment of the
piece alluded to, viz, that no young lady is SO
attractive as she who has cultivated true
refinement in her choice of words aud we
often wonder that young ladies, with all their
finer nature, can tolerate the society of certain
coarse gentlemen, they would hardly like it
should we consider them unworthy to bear
this ttle)
Boys you may perhaps think because the
girls smile upon you, and accept your
company to places of evening amusement that
those rough words are passed by without criti-
cism yet it is not pleasing to her you love
and to whom you look for your happiness. BE
assured such an one is not her " bcau.ideal 81
and every word lacking real harmony with
the delicate vibrations of the ear of woman
every word that jars harshly on her finer
feelings, dctracts from that perfect character
which her trusting love and quicker fancy
have pictured, She may not tear herseffron
you, for love is stronger than reason, and it,
spell is like that Of the charmer.
Then, sisters do not use slang phrases,
and tell your "big brothers" not to. Thu
may we have an influence, harmoniously
united, that shall make happy brothers and
sisters, happy young men and maidens, happy
husbands and wives, and happy hearts every
where for from the abundance eff the hea,
the mouth speaketh. A. l..
