HENRY WARD BEEcHEn ON THE Fu-

HENRY WARD BEEcHER ON THE FU-
TURE STATE.-Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
in a recent sermon surprised somo OF his
hearers by espousing Universalist doc
trines. He chose for his text the words I:
"For The former things are passed away"
Revelations 2l:4. MIR. Beecher said: "In
this world men experience sorrow and
trial, their hopes are disappointments, their
aspirations failures but there comes
world in the future in which all this, the
former things shall have passed away for
ever. Did souls pass Immediately into
blessedness after they quilted this state, or
did they lie as the Jews believed in vast
receptacle, awaiting the last day? The
New Testament was not clear on the sub
ject, but by implication its teaching was
that they rose at once into the Divine pres
ence. No allusion was made by Paul to
an interval or dormant state, and yet he
made constant reference 10 the state after
death. He never intimated that the soul
took sort OF unconscious vacation await
ing general ingathering to the spiritual
sphere. nor did such an idea address itself
to any human instinct which desired 10 be
true. Pauls doctrine was "absent from
the body, present with the Lord-out OF this
into that" There was a sprig Of immed-
iatism in his doctrine. If there was great
slumberous interval after death, why was
there no hint of it in the word of God?
Mr.. Beecher did not affirm with arrogant
positiveness that this doctrine was true and
none other, but he thought that Scripture
warranted the presumption that they had
a right TO believe so. They may conceive,
said MIR. Beecher, how men when they
were not fit for earth might nevertheless
enter heaven, and heaven might develope
what earth might never develope. One
might conceive people are unified by force
of animal passions for spiritual life, who
nevertheless when death took away what
was their bane in earth might begin good
life in future state. Men whom society
rejects now may get standing room in
heaven, not high up, but a starting place.

A PAIR OF FRAUDs.-Th Rutland Hor-
aid warns the clergy and laity OF the Epis-
copal Church TO look out for Mr. and Mrs.
Coleman, who, few years ago, so success
fully imposed upon Rev. j.. Milton Peck,
then rector OF Trinity Church, Rutland. The
Troy Times characterizes them ''as utterly
unworthy, and the woman Is an accom-
plished liar" II seems that they are on
their travels again, notwithstanding they
have been SO many times exposed both in
the religious and secular press. We append
a description Of this always needy couple {:
The woman is an ill-fav bred person, rather
tall and thin, with dark eyes and hair. The
man has light complexion, is of medium
size. aud is reserved in his manner. The
woman is the principal talker, and is well
acquainted with many clergymen of the
church.

Father Hyacinthe insists on still remain
ing Catholic, and believes that he can do
so. Protestanism Is not sufficiently church
ly for him. In his fifth lecture at Geneva
he said that for the building of reformed
Catholic Church there were three plans !:
"The first would reconstitute 1t on the basis
of simple deism. This he rejected, because
deism was only q philosophy, and not
religion. The second was to accept Prot
estantism as a solution of the problem !;
but Professionalism had not preserved enough
of the Church. For him more symbols
were necessary. He wanted the chain Of
efficacious sacramerts, embracing the
whole life OF man from baptism to extreme
JUNCTION he wanted historical hierarchy
and visible centre of unity, such as now
at Rome, but might be elsewhere in the
future" 1t remains TO he seen if this scheme
of Church reorganization is feasible

NEW ii HAMPsHIRE.-The annual message
of Gov. Shaw If New Hampshire, gives an
interesting view of the affairs of that State.
The State debt is but tri fle over four mil
lions, "a, 1873, ,l24,) and is being steadily re-
duced The average interest is six per cent.
and the annual exposes, exclusive of inter-
est, are only sl63,545. The savings banks
of the State are sixty-one in number, their
assets 500, ,75s, ,7s2, and the proportion ofsur-
plus a little more than four and one-third
per cent. The increase of deposits during
the last year was fourteen per cent, and
the ratio of depositors to population is near
ly as one TO three, which is very romark-
able showing. The State Prison paid a
pro fl last year of s., 900, making $4,000 In
all. and the Governor believes that with
this ratio of profit the Prison can, before
many years. be rebuilt without cost to the
State. On the temperance question, the
Governor says that he ''has never seen or
heard any evidence that has led him TO be-
leve that any great regard has been paid
to the prohibitory laws, at least for
any length of time, in any OF the
larger towns or cities. He recon-
mends a change in the laws. allowing
the sale of liquors TO be licensed at the OPP
lion of localities.

SLEEP Br TIfR sR.s.


Friends, when you think am like to die,
Carry me where the sea IA roaring;
There on my last bed let me lie.
And list to the long wave landward pouring;
Beating, beating,
And ever repeating
The cry It cried, when II frat was hurled,
with myriad shocks
On the barrier-rocks,
In the birthday of III world.
And-if I could die within sound Of the sea
The voices Of oil whoe'er loved and knew me,
To mingle with hers, who Is dearest to me,
Its murmur would bring, to sleep to WOO mo.
ThrobbIng, throbbing,
And plaintively sobbing
As first 1t sighed when the night and morn
Had faded away
or the first fair day,
When this beautiful world OF ours was born.
Oh, there ia church yard, high on cliff,
In how deep sleep, from the vain endeavcr
OF longing and life, could rest me-if
Tho sea Its wild lullaby sang forever.
Beating, beating,
And still repeating
The cry II cried, when 1t first was hurled
With myriad shocks
On the barrier rocks
In the very birthday Of the world.

interesting is that which records the
success achieved by noted horses. M.

more fortunate, as, with not tenth of
the animals owned by the French sports
man, he is credited with more than EFT,
600, earned for the most part by Gre
morne, Kaiser and Lillian. Lord Fal-
mouth is principally indebted to Queen
Messengers and Silver Ring for the
handsome balance of 1894 standing to
his credit at Messrs. Weatherby's !; nor

SO large and costly stud that he might
fairly have hoped to fare still better
than he has done, but the earnings of
the Russley horses compare very favor
ably with those of the representatives
of Sir Joseph Hawley's stable, which a
few years since invariably occupied the
front rank. Lord Ailesbury, thanks to
Cantiniere, is some G500 ahead Of Baron
Rothschild, who has had no Favonius
or Hannah to increase his winning score
by thousands at a time and the great
Middleham stable cuts a sorry figure
with but G2,500 to contribute towards
it's immense expenses.

Editorial notices are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected
OF interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying
what we think of q new addition to the
Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed We refer
to DIR. j. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters, a remedy which is making its
way into more families just now than
all the other advertised medicines put
together.
Its popularity, as far as we can judge,
is not based on empty pretention.
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and Alternative
properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is a specific for Indigestion,
Billiousness, Constipation and many
complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know and we are assured
on good authority that as general
invigorant, regulating and purifying
medicine it has no equal.
1t is stated that its ingredients lob
tanned from the wilds of California are
new to the medical world; and its ex,
traordinary effects certainly warrant the
conclusion that it is a compound Of
agents hitherto unknown. If popular.
ity is any criterion, there can be nc
doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar
