These names are on every tongue,
and with them is linked inexpressible
shame, from tho contemplation of
which the senses are bewillered, and
the moral perceptions shocked. In
the familiar compauionshir Of the
great crimes charged against him, the
name Of Bcecher is no longer the syn
onym Of all the christian graces. In
stead of inspiring the old-tiuc sacred
ness, its mention seems rather to bode
tho coming Of an embodied evil, from
the effects Of which we seek to escape
by exercising from our minds all
thoughts of. him. Instead Of seeing
him as We have been wont To- imagine,
standing at the celestial gate intcrcc.
ding for all mankind, we think Of our
hear thstoncs, and the inches in our
homes, sacred to domestic affection and
tho residence Of that virtue which is
the light Of life, and we look about us
anxiously, lest the image Of his pres.
ence be found there to blight our affec'
ton, and blast our lives. Beeche,
may be innocent, but if he is, tho
Devil is taking a fearful revenge
Nothing has yet been done to cxcul
pate him beyond the more denial b,
himself and. by Mrs. Tilton of thu
fearful charges which have been pre-
ferrcd. lie has asked everybody to
disclose, and we may reasonably expect
to know the truth at last. The dc
tails of the case arc so disgusting tina
We omit them from our columns.

was concerned. lie ever held the respect
ct all who knew him for his industry and

went out to them IN their trials. There
has been no man In this community who
has done more nursing of the sick among
Gods unfortunate than he, during his life.
