BEEcHEn's CHURcH.-A correspondent

religious teachings Of different churches
and their effects upon the public morals,
says that of Mr.. Beecher's:
"That the Plymouth Church sort has
anything to Go with Christianity has
been matter on which only one opin-
ion has been held by the sober mass of
Christians in this country for many
years. Why should any one be snr
prised at the late Developments in
BROOKLYN? Why should the Herald and
World talk their measnreless imbecility
about this horrible scandal as if Chris-
tianity were concerned? Mr., Beecher
has been for years I speak the opinion
Of the millions of quiet Christian peo-
ple) debauching the conscience of the
country, proclaiming a religion of self,
indulgence and self-will, doing more to
corrupt the public morals, and not the

WATER IN THE HoUsE.-A prom nent
writer says =" Let nobody be deferred

might just as well stop the circulation
of blood in the body because it is sub
iect to derangement, as to refuse the
circulation of water in the house be-
cause now and then pipe overhows

workmen will prevent any such accident,
but if they cannot, give up your fres-
Goes; do not give up your life-blood.
When see the farm-houses, the dairies,
the kitchen, whose only source of sup
ply is the well in the yard or the hogs
head at the back door, how life would
be heightened and sweetened if all this
heavy and hard slow water bringing
could be supplanted by a turn of screw,
I wonder that we do not manage to in

of the dying soldier all was peaceful
and serene. You heard from him no
shouts to his battalions, no urging his
soldiers on to victory, but instead, such
ordinations as, "God is good" "He
will not leave me-" And SO his {" fortu-
nate day" continued to be fortunate to
him, and as its sun set, he finished vic
toriously the last great battle, in the
sixtieth year of his age, 1858.
His body was embalmed, and amid
all possible pomp and magnifcence he
was buried in Westminster Abbey,

How to Get Passes.

There is newspaper man in the east
ern part of Michigan, who is being ban
tered as the champion railway pass beg
gar. Passing" him by, we want to tell
little story about an old acquaintance
who once published pager on the line
of the Detroit and Milwaukee road. He
was mighty poor compositor to begin
with, and the first issue of his paper
was sight to see. He had borrowed
old Buchu and Bitters' stereotypes to
fill up with, and bis salutoray," as he
called it, contained about two hundred
typographical errors, and half that num-
Der of grammatical blunders- But it
was a foundation, and he vent to re-
ceivjng subscriptions and sending for
railroad passes. He went for'' super
intendents until he had pass over
every road in the state, but these we're
not enough. He sent abroad, and f5 ally
he addressed the superintendent of an
Ohio road. No answer. The editor
wrote again. No answer. He wrote
third letter, and an answer came back ::
"Go to h-r' The editor turned the
letter over and wrote: "Send me pf ss
on your road, and I will!' The pass
came, and he was made happy.

Carlyle's Advice to the Man who

Apparently you are youEg man OF
usual, perhaps OF extreme, sensi ility
and placed at present in the unfortu-
nate position Of having nothing 10 DO.
Vague TeveTy, chaotic meditation, the
fruitless effort TO sound the unfathoma-
BILE, is the natural result for you. Such
a form of character indicates the proba-
bility Of superior capabilities 60 work
in this world but il is also, unless
guided toward the work, the inevitable
prophecy of much sun ring, disappoint-
ment and failure in your course Of life.
Understand always that the end OF man
is an action, not a thought. Endeavor
incessantly, with all the strength that Is
in you, to ascertain vhat-there where
you are, there as you are-you can do
in this world and upon that bend your
whole faculties, regarding all reveries,
feelings, singular thoughts, moods, etc,
as worth nothing whatever, except as
they bear on that, and will help toward
that. Your thoughts, moods, etc will
thus legitimate themselves and become
fruitful possessions for you in part
fall away as illegitimate, and die out Of
the way; and your goal will become
clearer TO you every step you courage
ously advance toward IL. No man ever

TIRED MOTHERS,

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much to bear:
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair,
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers holding you SO tight :
You do not prize this blessing overmuch;
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessedness! year ago
1 did not see it as 1 do to-day
We are all SO dull and thsnklesss and too slow
To catch the sunshine till It slips away.
ana now 1t seems surprising strange to me
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night, when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee
This restless, curly head from off your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly
If from your own the dimpled hands had slippe
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
could not blame you for your heart-ache thel
wonder SO that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If could find little muddy boot
Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor;
If could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my home once more
If could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than /.
But, ah Tie dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
My singing birdling from its nest has flown;
The little boy used to kiss is dead!

The WhimS of Machinery


There are some curiosities about ma
chimes which seem to be unaccountable.
Every user of sewing-machine knows
that from some unknown reason the
machine which yesterday performed its
work so well, so almost enthusiastically,
to-day refuses to do more than half its
task and does that half in a surly, in
different manner. So with many other
machines. Even the steam engine is
subject to these fits. Is there some oc-
cult bond of sympathy between the
operator and his machine, by which the
latter is influenced by the mental con-
dition of the former for it is certain
that these differences cannot be atmos-
pheric or other external influences ?
This matter Is quite humorOusly and
truthfully treated in the subioined ex-
tract:
''It is perfectly well known to expert
enced engineers that if a dozen differ
ent locomotive engines were made at
the same time, of the same power, for
the same purpose, of like materials, in
the same factory, each of those locomo-
tive engines would come out with its
own peculiar whims and ways, only as
certainable by experience. One engine
at once another will not hear TO such
thing, but will insist on being coaxed
by spadefuls and bucketfuls. One is
to start off when required at
the top of his speed another must have
a little time to warm at his work and to
get well into it. These peculiarities
are 50 accurately mastered by skillful
drivers that only particular men can
persuade engines to do their best. 1t
would seem as if some of these excel
leRt monsters declared on being brought
out of the stable, If it's Smith who is
to drive, l won't go. If it's my friend
Stokes, l am agreeable to anything
"An locomotive engines are low
spirited in damp and fOggy weather.
They have a great satisfaction in their
work when the air is crisp and frosty.
At such time they are very cheerful
and brisk, but they strongly object to
haze and mists. These are points of
character on which they are united. It
is in their peculiarities and varieties of
character that they are most remark
able.
"The railway company who should
consign all their locomotives to one
uniform standard of treatment without
any allowance for varying shades of
character and opinion, would soon fall
as much behindhand in the world as
those greater governments are, and ever
will be, who pursue the same course
with the finer piece of work called

DR.. LIVINGSTONE.
Details of His Illness and Death i'm
IXfIdn nf Central A fricn

Details of His Illness and Death i'm tn,
WildS of Central Africa.
The following account is given of Liv
| ingstone's fatal illness and death He
had been i'll of chronic dysentery fol-
some months. He was well supplied
with stores and medicines; but he had
! a presentiment that the attack would
prove fatal. At first he was able to ride
on donkey; but soon had to be car
ried. Arriving at Mailala, beyond Lake
Bemba, in the Bisa country, he said
Build me hut to die in. A hut was
built by his followers. The first of
May he was confined to bed, and after
wards suffered greatly, groaning night
and day. The third day he said he was
very cold, and requested that more
grass be put over the hut. Kitambo,
chief of Bisa, sent -four and beans, and
behaved well towards the party. The
fourth day DR.. Livingstone was insen-
sible, and died about midnight Ma
kadhpooa, servant, was present. DIR.
Livingstone made his last entry in his
diary April 81. He spoke much and
sadly of his home and family, when he
was first seized by the fatal attack. He
told his followers that he intened to ex-
change everything for ivory to give
them, and then push ON to Ujui and
Zanzibar, and try to reach England.
The same day on which he died, his
followers consulted what to do. The
Nassick boys determined to preserve
the remains. They were afraid to in
form the chief of the death of the doc
tor. They secretely had his body re-
moved to another hut, and built high
fence around tito insure privacy. Then
they removed the internal organs, pla-
ced them in box, and buried it inside
the fence under a large tree. Jacob
Woenwrigst cut an inscription on the
tree thus: doctor Livingstone, died
May, 4, 1873"
And superscribed it with the name of
the head man, "Susa." The body was
preserved in salt. and dried in the sun
twelve days. The chief Kitumbo, on
being informed of DR.. L1vingstone's
death, :had the drums boat and the guns
fired as a token of respect and allowed
the followers to move the body, which
they placed in a coffin of bark.
Then they commenced the journey
to the country of Unyanyembe, which
consumed about six months, sending in
advance a party with information of all
that had had occurred, addressed to
Livingstone's son. The advance party
was met by Mr.. Cameron, who sent
back bales of cloth and powder. The |
body arrived at Unyanyembe ten days
after the advance party, and rested there |
two weeks. Messrs. Cameron, Durphy /
and Dillon also arrived together there, |
the latter very i'll, his sight gone and |
his mind affected. He afterwards COM
mitted suicide at Kasakera, and was
buried there.
At Unyanyembe Livingstone's re-
mains were placed in another bark case,
a smaller one, done up to represent
bale of goods, so as to deceive the ma
tives, who objected to the passage of a
corpse, and thus carried to Zanzibar.
DR.. Livingstone's clothing, papers, and
accompanied the body.
When sick in bed, DIR. Livingstone
prayed much, and said, fI am going
home" Chamah remains at Zanzibar.

Cromwell.

Oliver Cromwell, the stern soldier
and religious enthusiast, was still the
most tender and devoted father and
husband. While England was ringing
with his successes at Dunkirk, news
was brought him of his best loved
daughters illness.
His kingdom and power were all for
gotten, while he watched day and night
by her bedside. Young, beautiful, be-
loved by all, the Lady Elizabeth died,
and her father, worn out by sorrow and
disease, laid his head upon his own
death-bed.
Forgetting his own suferings and the
change so soon awaiting him, he spent
much time in prayer for the church.
Soon came the night which ushered
in the Sd of September, which he had
always termed his " fortunate day." the
anniversary of two of his most impor-
tant victories. It came amid wind and
storm and tempest. Houses were un-
rooted, trees half century old were
up1oote6, and the shores were strewn
with wrecks. But about the bed

Anecdote of stonewall Jackson. >,

A letter from Lexington, Va, says /:
Just after the battle of Manassas. when
all the south was in the widest state of
i, Element, every one eager to hear
hirtber particular of the conflict, many
of the citizens of Lexington had as
sembled at the postofice to await with
impotence the opening of the mail.
DIR. White, Gen. Jackson's pastor and
dear friend, on rece wing his letters
recognized the handwriting upon one
he held it up in view of the crowd:
GA letter from Gen. Jackson himself,
gentlemen! Now we will hear all the
particulars" The letter was hurried1y
opened. It was dated the morning af-
ter the battle, and ran somewhat thus /:
"Mv dear pastor,-Inclosed you will
find fifty dollars for our eolored Sunday
school. Please devote to the purchase
of books, tracts or whatever else you
think the school most needs. Yours,
&C" Neither friend nor foe ever ac-
cused Jackson of affectation or deceit
in the smallest actions and there was
certainly no attempt at a display of
modesty in this.
