Henry Ward Beecher's Stepmother.

New York Correspondence of the Boston Journal.
1t is well known that Mr.. Beecher
keeps reporter in his church The
form of Mr. Fleetwood is as well known
as that of the Plymouth pastor. He
has sat for years at little table in front
of the platform, and takes down every
thing Mr.. Beecher says-his notices,
prayers and sermons. These Mr..
Beecher revises before they are pub :
hshed. Sharp, racy, humorous utter
ances, keen remarks, sentences thrown
OFT IN the heat of speaking, witticisms
that shake the Plymouth audience as
the forest leaves are shaken by the
wind, are often missed in the public
report. Many of the Illustrations lose
much of their point, because no report
er can take down the manner of their
utterance. Last Sunday morning he
brought his stepmother on to the plat
form. He described her as a woman
of great excellence, but as great mar
tinet. Strict in her religious practices
and teachings, and like the mistress of
Dotheboys Hall, she gave her children
weekly a stiff dose of the Catechism.
She was the pink of propriety, and
held In adherence all vain and
trifing amusements. Dr. Beecher had
a weakness-that of playing on a i'd
die. He mixed up Yankee Doodle, a
round country dance, and Old II I'M
dred, and he did not exactly know
where the one began and the other
ended. One day he was amusing him
self on his favorite instrument, and
struck up genuine jig which unsanc-
tilted had been running in his head
ever since he was a boy. Just at that
his mother came in, and,
catching the inspiration of the tune,
placed her hands on her hips and
danced minute. Mr.. Beech
or described the scene. He stepped
back on the platform, placed his hands
On his hips, and showed the audience
now his mother did it. He described |
5he CONSERVATION of the children. He
;lasped his hands, rolled up the whites
IF his eyes ike regular mawworm,
opened his mouth, drew down his hip,
md stood the personifcation of rustic
horror. The whole scene was irresist-
bly, comic. He wound up with the
moral that if his mother had danced |
more and Piled the Catechism less he
would have had happier childhood

Strange Story of a Murder.

A New York morning paper publishes
the following singular story: 'tAbout
two months ago it was rumored that
the once famoss yacht Maria, formerly
the property of Commodore Stevens,
of the New York Yacht Club, had been
lost at sea, and it is now rep orted that
the rumor was set afoat at that time to
cover up the murder of the captain and
the siezure of the vessel by the crew.
Lit is said that two seafaring men who
recently arrived in this city state that
the Maria is running the Cuban block
ade from a southern port, under com
mand of Spanish Captain, and that
rumor is current to the effect that Capt.
Martin had been murdered by his
crew. Steps have been taken to ensure
her seizure by the United States Con-
suiar authorities in Cuba, San Domin-
60, New Providence and Aspinwall.
The Government has also, it is said,
ordered United States cruisers to look
out for the Maria

The HOnsehoId Tonic

The efficacy of Hostetters Celebrated Stomach

proverb. In the United States where this marvel
GUS tonic has borne down all opposition and eclpsed
all rivalry the demand for it has annually increased
in heavier and heavier ratio for years. until at last
the regular sales of this preparation exceed those

that produces such beneficial effects in dyspepsia

stmulant, promoter of constitutional vigor an

the reputation of Hostetters Bitters 1t is the

The MOSS.RnSe.

Krummacher illustrates simplicity
by the following beautiful fable:
The angel who takes care of the
flowers, and sprinkles upon them a
dew in the still night, slumbered on a
spring day in the shade of a rose-bush.
When he awoke he said:
Z" Most beautiful of my children. I
thank thee for thy refreshing odor and
cooling shade. Could You now ask any
favor, how willingly would grant it =
"Adorn me then with new charm. u
said the spirit of rose-bush, in a be-
seeching tone.
So the angel adorned the loveliest OF
flowers with simple moss. Sweetly it
stood there in its modest attire, the
n,oss-rose, the most beautiful of its
kind.
So the costliest ornaments are often
the simplest. There is no gold, MOI
jewel, nor sparkling pearl, equal to the
ornaments of meek and quiet spirit
which is, in the sight of God, of great
price"
