Every once in 4 while a passage in
the history of life is brought to light
viii :h is strange and more romantic
than any fiction. Notwithstanding the
industry of the Jenkins family, these
do not always find their way into the
newspapers. The announcement in the
New York papers, a few months ago, of
the departure Of certain vessel for
England recalled to those who were &C.
quainted with one of her passengers an
interesting story. This person was a
young German ander 80 years old, who
had just completed = period Of teaching
in Berkshire county seminary, and
who was now with his newly.married
wife on his way to the Fatherland.
Some years before, in his native
Germany, this young man had fallen
in love with one of the blooming maid
ems in the place where he resided, and
his attachment was ardently returned
by the young woman. A speedy mar.
riage would have been consummated
had not parental authority interfered.
The father Of the girl objected to the
bans, AMI did everything IN his power
to keep the lovers apart. In this dis.

beloved, bade farewell to his

ExLUsrvELY TO THE DAILY DISPATCH.

New York, Aug, II. There is great
dissatisfaction with the drift OF the
Beecher scandal. The Withholding of
Moulton's statement creates much unfa
vorable comment. The Argus says it is
even stated that Mrs. Tilton is prepar-
ed to state that she has been laboring
under hallucination; that Beecher is
willing to resign his pastorate; that the
Society will refuse to accept his resigna-
ton. That Tilton, upon these condi-
tions, will again open the doors of his
house to his wife.
Gen. Tracy said to-day that the COM
mittee had not decided whether it will
keep Moulton's statement until all pro-
ceedings are printed, or keep it back
altogether. Gen. Butler had long in
teryiew with Moulton this morning, sub.
sequently with Tracy. who had just
come from Beecher. The Brooklyn Ea-
gle of this afternoon says that Moulton,
with his statement to the committee,
handed copies of the documents quoted
in Tilton's communication. 1t appears
from the hurried comparison. made by
the committee that Tilton in quoting
documents arranged them to suit him
self. In some cases only part Of doc
ument is quoted, its various significant
passages omitted. In one case letter
is divided by Tilton and made to seem
as if there were 2 letters. apparently for
the purpose of accumulating testimony.
The committee look on these changes
as very significant and as bearing very
heavily against Tilton.
Moulton was briefly cross examined.
He maintained the same position and
reiterated what appeared in his state
ment. that if any attempt was made to
assail bis position as a friend of both
parties, or to question his honor, he
might be under the necessity of making
further statement. For the present he
contented himself with furnishing the
committee exact copies of the documents
quoted by Tilton.
The Telegraph publishes story that
Beecher has made a confession to his
counsel and some members of the COM
mittee that is very disheartening to
them, but the committee have decided
to continue the investigation. They,
however, have changed their wish for a
publication of Moulton's full statement.
and have urged him to Withhold most of
it, and to cover only such points as have
already been made public. This advice
comedies with Gen. Buffers, and he
has his case already prepared.
The committee tonight examined two
unknown witnesses and adjourned soon

The young ladies and gentlemen

Saved Through Masonry.

We clip the following from the Port
land argus:
A young MainesHan, who is engag
ed in the commercial travelling" bust
ness for Chicago house, was travelling
out in the far West, wlfen he was tax
en- possession of on tie brain by two
men, who simply informed him that
they were officers and sswanted him.
He expostulated, explained, demanded
explanations, &C., but all in vain. No
one on the train knew him and there
were those who did know the officers.
IAll that he could get ont of them was
that he was the nans they wanted IN
this way he was taken some ninety
| miles into the inteior. Upon his arriv
al he bad no longer to remain in ignor-
ance Of his supposed ofeose, the whole
village being out to welcome him with
such cries as "Here's the id horse
thief, caught at last-Let''s string him
up"
The officers made some show of re-
slstance, but the excited mob took DOS
session OF him and 9iarcbed him into
town, near the centre Of which moose
was already strung over the limb of s
tree. Our friend thought it was all ur
with him, sure. Expostulation was re
ceiyed with derision. All recognized
him as notorious horse thief, whose
depredatlons had been continued anC

A GRAVE ERROR. An idea seems to
be prevailing and increasing every day
that the whole business and purpose of
life is to be amused and have a good
time. The old fashioned and dull rou.
tine Of utility and economy of time is
ignored, and it is going out with its
grand purposes and momentous results
Is treated as splendid bagatelle, and
$50 to it while you are young" is the
stimulating motto which seems to
prompt all action. This appears to US
to be a gleat error ''life is real. life
Is earnest, and it should be lived in an
earnest spirit, with due sense of the
responsibilities involved in it-hinoino
upon another infinitely beyond-rather
than fritter away in the reckless and
frivolous manner that too mach char.
acterizes the times. Much of this
springs from want of employment.

power of extracting happiness from

No doubt every farmer desires te
be known as an intelligent and pro-
gressive tiller of the soil; but in orde,
to merit that appellation there must be
intelligent planning and iudiciou;
management. A manufacturer who
does not keep up with the times is lef,
high and dry, while some youthful and
inteillgent competitor catches the
flood that leads on to fortune The
only way to bring about successful re.
suits is to endeavor to develope increased
productions by increased fertility, and
that increased production and increased
production and increased fertility are
to be brought about by the enterpris
ing farmer exercising liberal expen-
diture OF labor and capital. The far
mer, as compared with the merchant
or manufacturer, is in a most unenyia
Ole position, and his capital, scattered
over his fruitful fields, is by his sue
cessoricarefully reaped, and thus other
men enter into the sweets and rewards
OF his own labor and capital. The
present and future tendency Of agricuI-
ture is, and must be still more. one cf
progression and increasing develope-
ment The advance in the price Of
labor the multiplied use Of expensive
machinery, the indispensable use of
high priced fertilizers, the increased
consumption of feeding cakes. the
higher price OF cattle. the necessity for

competition in the supplies of corn aud
live cattle and preserved meats, make
the science and practice of agriculture
more than ever a difficult, but also more
