The Last GIFT Concert POSTPONED,

The announcement of the postponement of the
last gift concert of the Public Library of Kentucky
will not surprise the public. In Governor Bram-
lettes card, published below, he gives reasons for
it which will be accepted without question by
every one. The management in this instance,
consulting the interests of tcket.holders, and
those designing to become ticket holders, have
not waited until the last day to make this an
nouncement, but, just as soon as they became sat
isfed of the necessity of this postponement, have
promptly made the announcement. 1t is unneces-
sary to review the causes which have necessi.ated
this action, as they fully recited in Governor
Bramlette's card. The promptness and frankness
with which the public have been made aware of
the intention of the manager will meet with the
hearty commentator OF every one and excite such
new interest and confidence in the scheme, and
the ability Of the manager to perform what he
promises, that there Can be no doubt that on the
day specified the last concert will be full one

Mrs. Tiiton's Cross. Examination.

Mrs. Tilton's Characterization by the Ply
mouth church investigating committee will be
printed IN the morning. She starts out with
the following statement:
wish these gentlemen to understand that
to very large extent l take the blame upon
myself of the Indifference my husband has
shown to me in all my life. At first | under
stood very well that l was not to have the at
tention that many wives had. l realized that
his talent and genius must not be narrowed
down to myself, that l made him under
stand; also to very large extent / attribute
to that the later SORROWS of my life. l gave
him to understand that what might be regard
ed as neglect under the circumstances would
not be regarded by me as neglect in him, ow-
ing to his business and to his desire to make
name for himself, and to rise before the
world. At the birth of the first three child.
rem, had very severe and prolonged sick
ness, but when he saw me he never felt that
was sick, because on seeing him | always
tried to feel well, l felt so DESTROYS of his
presence. 1t was charged upon me many a
time by my mother and my brother -" When
Theodore or the doctor comes, you are never
sick" They said of me, " She has never a
genius for being sick"
Q. Will you state just what attention your
husband bestowed upon you in case of sick
uess, during your cOnnnement, or any other
illness; if you had them, answer?
A. Well, | had no attention whatever, l
may truthtully say, from him, any more than
a stranger would give. / do not think it was
from neglect so much as from an inability on
his part to understand that | was sick and
suffering, though in fact, l was very serious
ly ill.
In continuation, Mrs. Tilton stated that she
was frequently sick and her physician said
which he could not cure with medicine.
z. What was the trouble in point of fact
A. WE'LL any of you gentlemen, think,
would have cared for my family as much as
Theodore did. l was left entirely with my
servants, and they were poor servants. l
could not have my mother with me, because
it was impossible for her to live with US on
account of disagreement with Mr.. Titon.
Tilton was dissatisfied with his home and W ith
his wite's management.
Q. When did he begin to talk to you, if at
ali, in regard to your association and friend
ship for Mr.. BeecherI
A. l think had no visits from Mr.. Beech
er before 1866; that is the first that remem-
Der seeing him very much.
q. State whether or not you invariably
denied that you ever had any criminal init
macy with Mr. Beecher?
A. l have, indeed. l remember that he
not only charged me with this in my presence
but often became so audacious as to write to
me about it.

ONE WEEK IN HEAVEN.
To THE MEMORY OF RALPu, BY A FRIESi

To THE MEMORY OF RALPH, BY A FRIEND.
One week has passed since on the earth
Those eyes in death were Closed
One week since he who loved our Lord,
Hath in his arms reposed.
Death could not visit such as he,
SO faithful and so true,
But as me senger, to guide
The shadow valley through.
One week in Heaveni Oh, what bliss,
To change the sin and pain
Which mars the earth, Tor that bright home
Where holiness shall reign,
Where not pang is ever known,
Where tears are wiped away,
Where prayer becomes eternal praise,
And night is turned to day
One week in Heaven! Long ere this
Dear kindred souls he's found;
While this feeble tribute pen,
He's treading Heavenly ground
With many wise and happy soul,
And holds communion sweet
With those whom while on earth he horcc.
Full OF in Heaven to greet.
One week in Heaven must weep
To think that we no moro
Shall clasp again the friendly hand
Upon this island shore;
Yet oh there's consolation here
To sorrowing spirits given,
That to the saint each hour from earth
Is SO much time in Hedren.
We shall not bow on earth dear Fl hnu,
Before our Fathers throne,
Nor meet again together where
We've met His love to own;
But oh there's comfort in the thought
That those through Jesus Joined,
Will meet at last, when welcomes sweet
Are not with fareweIl's twined.
