What a glorious thing is occupation
for the human heart! Those who
work hard seldom yield to f;sncied or
real sorrow. When grief sits down,
folds hands and mournfnlly feeds
upon its own tears, weaving the din,
shadows that liti,e exeriion might
sweep away, into u funeral pail, the
strong spirit is s!lo,n OF its might,
and sorrow becomes cur master.
When troubles flow u,oa YOU dark
and heavy, toll not With the waves,
wrestle not with tue torrent; rather
seek, by occupation, to divert tho
dark waters that threaten to ever
whelm you, into q thousand channels
which .thc duties Of life always pre-
sent. Before you dream of it, those
waters will fertilizc the present, AMI
give birth to fresh tlowers that will
become pure aud holy iii the sunshine
which penetrates to the path OF duty
in spite of every obstacle. Grief, at
ter all, is but a selfish feeling, and
most selfish is the man who yields
himself to the indulgence OF any pas.
sion which brings JOY to his fellow.

Of their pastors guilt; but, to save
their Church, they are willing to ly-

ride rougLsllod over public opinion,
and to place, if in their power, the
confessed libertine upon his throne
again, even though that throne rests
upon tic bleeding body and soul OF
his appealing victim.
But can these men, such as have
been appointed by Beecher to try the
case-can they be capable of such per-
version Of justices tell You, men in
religious matters, where their Church
interests are involved, often act
strangely. In these days our churches
are half filed with men whose wealth
is almost the only cause of their invi-
tation to join the fold. Outwardiy
respectable and moral, they are still
rs destitute of old fashioned piety as
a Last years birds nest 10 of life.
When a church quarrel comes up, or
such an episode as this, then is their
time. Then all their peculiar gifts
come to the surface, and are put to
use. No set of politicians at a caucus
or at State headquarters are capable
OF more infamous scuilduggery to
carry out their ends than they.
The men of Plymouth Church are
on trial now, equally with Beecher,
before the world anu the ages. II
may be that they will decide according
to the evidence, as they believe it;
but the manner in which they have
thus far conducted the trial, and the
spirit manifested, indicate the con.
trary.
Beecher's fall is but the fall of one
man. The fall of Plymouth Church is
perhaps the precursor Of the fall of the
whole church system.

AN IMPORTANT DECIsION.-The
Supreme Court Of Maine has just ren.
lered somewhat important decision
relating to ther liability of telegraph
companies for errors in tho transmits.
sion of dispatches. Some four years
ago q business firm in that state tele-
graphed to a firm in Chicago BY the
Western Union line for ten thousand
bushels Of corn, but the dispatch was
made to read zone tLousand,0 and be-
fore the error could be corrected, corn
rose. and the firm lost nine hundred
dollars. 1t was y night message, and
the usual agreement that the tele-
graph company shall not be liable for
6,u:lt,ers was signed, but the court
,ieci.sed that such q contract, being
against public policy, is void, and
therefore awarded the amount claim.

New WAY TO REDUCE ExpENsE'

NEW WAY TO REDUCE EXPENSES.
Two years ago the Turkish govern
ment wanted to ecOnOmize in its salary
list and not reduce the salaries; so 1t
declared, with pleasant innocence Of
result, that a year should consist OF
fifteen months, and the pay for year
be for that period; and 80 it would
have paid for five years with four
years salary. Now it is discovered
that this plan was invented by Louis
XIV, who paid pensions that way.

A NOTICEABLE feature Of the litera.
ture Of the scandal is its effusiveness
and gush. The principals of the af.
fair are on stilts, and their voices come
from fog land. Take the statement
and denials in order, and while one is
amazed at the verbal facility Of the
writer's, lie is confused with the vague
and rhapsodical uncertainty of their
language. There is, nothing in Mr..
Beecher's "eIror of Judgment which
calls for the vigorous vocables or the
nebulous antiquities employed by
him, or which should scant him on
the ragged edge Of "remorse and
despair" and keep him there for a
year or two; and no reason why the
mere "slladow" Of the Misunderstanding
should plunge him into morbid intens-
ity.-Brooklyn Argue.
