TO OUR PATRONS,

With the campaign before us and other
business constantly Increasing, the fact has
been forced upon us that we needed, and
must have, assistance. Hence we have as
sociated with us a gentleman OF ability who
has long been familiar with the press, and
Ehose relations with us will, We doubt not,
be of pleasant and permanent character.
By this accession to our strength we hope
to make the JOURNAL an earnest and eiic-
lent paper, LSDEPENDENT IN EVERYTHING
AND NEUTRAL IN NOTHING, defending, to
the extent Jf durability, what we believe
to be right, land entering our protest against
what We conceive to be wrong.
By this course we hope to secure a more
extended patronage, and while we make an
humble hut honest effort to fiiTther the good
cause of 8spublicanism-belS the tri-
umph of such principles to- be conducive to
the public welfare-we shall not be the or
gan of any man or set of men; bat ever, as
in the past, sincerely work for the greatest
good to the greBtest number, knowing this
position to be the only one which any jour.
nal can honorabiy assume pro bono publico
In the future our readers will be able to
judge how nearly we actap tothis standard
As soon as we can post up our books and
make out bills, we shall call in person, o,
Through representative, upon all who have
failed to call on us, and trust that those
who know themselves indebted to the Jour
NAL will be prepared to liqGidate the debt
or furn ish reasonable excuse.

Beecher Tells How to Preach.

Henry Ward Beecher is delivering
course of lectures on Preaching to the
Yale Divinity School. He tells how he
preached his first effective sermon after
two years of unsatisfactory work:
When had lived at Indianapolis the
first year, said "There was reason
why, when the apostles preached, they sue
ceeded, and will find it out if it is to he
found out" / took every single instance
in the Record, where could find one of
their sermons, and analysed ii and asked
myself: "What were the circumstances,
who were the people, what did they do?n
and 1 studied the sermons until L got this
idea: That the apostles were accustom ed
first to feel for a ground on which the peo-
pie and they stood together n common
ground where they could meet. Then
they heaped up large number of the par
ticulars of knowledge that belonged to
everybody; and when they had got that
knowledge, which everybody would admit
placed in proper form before their minds
then they brought it to bear upon them
with all their excited heart and feeling.
That was the first definite idea of taking
aim that had in my mind.
Now says /, AZ will make a sermon
So" l remember it just as well as if it
We're yesterday. First, / sketched out the
things we all know. you all know you

uncertain; that you don't know whether
you will live another month or week. You
all know that your destiny in the life thai
is to come, depends upon the character yor
are forming in this life" and in that way
| went on with my "Iou all knows un

A pIuckr Temperance Man.

Twenty years ago, young man went to

from the people of old Massachusetts,.
While in that city, he was invited to dine
with the celebrated John Quincy Adams.
Many great man sat at the table. The
young man had been poor, and was then
only mechanic in moderate circum-
stances. During dinner, Mr. Adams said
to him:
Twill you drink glass of wine with
me sir ?n ~
The young man was q temperance man.
But the eyesof many greater than HIM
self were upon him. They were all wine
drinkers. and it was no small matter to
decline such a request from ms Venerable
host No wonder the young man was en-
barrassed, that he blushed and
hesitated. 1t was critical moment.
for him. But he was true man. He had
real manhood, and he stammered
Sir, L never take wine.n

heard that answer, and understood it, She
saw in Henry Wilson a man who could be
trusted, and she made him one of her Sen

soever tempted, stick to their principles.

Kissing the POpe's Toe.

4 Rome correspondent gives this ac-
count of a ceremony at st. Peters, that he
recently witnessed
The toe of st. Peter, or rather the brass
shoe protecting that part of the Apostles
foot which the pious long ago kissed away,
was i'm great demand. There was con-
slant succession of people, before and after
the service, filing past the statue and pay
ing it the customary homage. They first
kissed the foot and then touched it with
their forehead, and some of them kissed it
again. The majority of these toe-wor-
shippers were of tile lower classes, but
well-dressed men, and still more women,
also kissed and bowed and then hurried
on, doubtless much comforted by the trib-
ute they had paid. In the same quiet or
derby manner in which they had entered
the congregation, left the church, got into
their vehicles or opened their umbrellas
and made for their respective homes. The
Pope is said to have been present on al
three days, invisible, in private gallery
behind lattice.
