Live Within Your Means.

We don't like stinginess, we don't like economy, when it comes down to rags and starvation. We have no sympathy with the notion that the poor man should hitch himself to @ post and stand still, while the rest of the world moves forward. It is no mans duty to deny himself every amusement, every recreation, every comfort, that he may get rich. It is no mans duty to make an iceberg of himself, to shut his eyes and ears to the sufferings of his fellows. and to deny himself the enjoyment that results from generous actions, that he may hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel about. But there is an economy which is every mans duty, and which is especially commendable in the man who struggles with poverty -an economy which is consistent with and which must be practiced if the poor man would secure indepen- dence. It is almost every mans privi- lege. and it becomes his duty, to live within his means not Jo, but within them. Wealth does not make the man, we admit, and should never be taken into account in our judgment of men i; but competence should always be se- cured, when it can be, by the practice of economy and self-denial only to a tolerable extent. It should be secured, not so much for others to look upon, or to raise us in the estimation of others. as to secure the consciousness of inde- pendence; and the constant satisfaction which is derived from it's requirement. and possession,

An Act of Justice.

Doubling Castle was sad stumbling block in thepath of Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn' t bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets us when we are asked to believe anything particu- larly extraordinary. Consequently, when we heard, some eighteen months ago. that 8 physician Tn California had compounded, from the juices and ex- tracts of certain herbs found there, a medicine that cured almost every va- riety of blood disease, we were incre lu- lous. Since then we have had oppor- tunities of testing the accuracy of the report, and are free to admit that our doubts have vanished. Seeing what we have seen, knowing what we know, it is impossible for us to question the reme- dial proper ties of DR. WALKERS VINE GAR BrTTERs. That this famous vege- table Tonic, Alternative, and 'Antiseptic is specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous Faint in the Blood, Incipient Consump- tioD, Local and General Debility, Rheumatism, Sick Headache, and Dis eases of the Kidneys, seems to be a matter beyond the pale of controversy 70 fred fdct 5n msedacal history. The statements of friends, in whose veracity aud intelligence we have full conf- dence, corroborated by onr own per- sonal observation, compel us to admit the surpassing merits of the prepara- tion,-COna.

Man and Wife.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following excellent advice. There is much hu- man nature and good sense in it |: Harmony in & married state is the very first thing to be aimed at. Noth- ing can preserve affections uninterrupt- ed but firm resolution never to differ in will, and the determination of each to consider the love of the other of more value than any earthly object whatever on which wish can be fixed. How light, in fact, is the sacrifice of any other wish when weighed against the affections of one with whom we are to pass our whole life. Opposition in 8 asingle instance will hardly of itself produce alienation this only takes place when all the oppositions are put, as 1t were, in pouch, which, while it is filling, the alienation is insensibly going on, and when full it is complete.
 It would puzzle either to say why, because no one difference of opinion had been marked enough to produce & serious effect itself. The affections are wearied out by constant stream of little obstacles. Other sources of dis content, very common indeed, a1e the little cross purposes of husband and wife in common conversations dispo- sition in either to criticise and question what the other says, desire always to demonstrate and make the other feel in the wrong, especially in company. Nothing is so goading. Much better, therefore, if our companion views 8 thing in light different from what we do, leave him in quiet possession of his views. What is the use of rectifying him if the thing be unimportant ? Let it pass for the present and wait softer moment and more conciliatory occasion of reviving the subject together. It is wonderful how many persons are ren- dered unhappy by inattention to the little rules of prudence"

A Yankee Trick.

A story is told by a Spanish paper which shows that Brother Jonathan is more than 2 match for the Spanish au- thorities. The report is that an Ameri- can skipper, Captain John Jefferson, of the London, on arriving in the Bay of Biscay, sent telegram from Bilbao to the Spanish government, to the effect that the United States had ordered a cruiser to see that no American ships landed arms for the Carlists. Marshal Serrano immediately wrote letter os thanks to the Minister of the sister re- public, who replied that he knew noth- ing of the cruiser in question. How ever, before the matter could be in- quired into, Capt. John Jefferson had accomplished his purpose, and while playing the part of the United States vessel of war alluded to in the telegram, he had, under the nose of the Spanish fleet, landed twenty seven guns, &c.,, for the Carlists. After this the Lon don quietly left the port of Bermeo, and vanished in the horizon,

Kindling Fires.

Many persons have often noticed the extreme difficulty encountered in light ing the fire of a stove, especially on a still, damp morning. The stove at first won't draw: even vigorous blowing" will not suffice and then, when it does start it is with a sort of explosion or outward rush of air, which fills the room with smoke and gas, oftentimes pufing the unpleasant fumes in the face of the operator. The trouble is caused by the difficulty encountered in over coming the inertia of the long column of air in the pipe or chimney by the small column of air that can be forced up through the interstices of the wood and coal, at the bottom of which the fire is kindled. All this may be remedied by simply putting 8 few shavings or bits of dry paper on the top of the wood or coal, and first lighting that. It immediately bursts into blaze, be- cause the air has perfectly free access to it from all sides; the heated air forces it's way into the chimney and establishes there an upward current, The match can then be applied to the kindling under the fuel, which will read fly light, and, if dry, burst into brisk flame.

Regulating the Fare.

Paganini, one day at Florence, jump- ed into cab and gave orders to be driven to the theater. The distance was not great, but he was late, and an enthusiastic audience was waiting to near him perform the famous prayer of "Moses" on 8 single string.
 'sHow much do owe you ?" said he to the driver.
 ::'For you," said the man, who had recognized the great violinist, "the fare is ten francs"
 ''What, ten franos?" You are surely jesting."
 CT am speaking seriously. You charge as much for place at your con- cert"
 Paganini was silent for moment ; then, with a complacent glance at the rather too witty driver, said:
 " l will pay you ten francs when you drive me upon one wheel"

this sad story, we feel like visiting, even upon she suffering head and heart of our pastor, the severest censure. And this not the less because we revere and love him, and know that no man in all our land is more beloved.
 STATEMENT OF CONCLUSIONS.
 First-We find from the evidence, that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher did not commit adultery with Mrs. Elizabeth R. Hilton, either at the time or times, place or places, set forth in the third and forth sub divisions of MT. Tilton's statement, nor at any other time or place whatever. |
 Second-We find from the evidence, that MT. Beecher has never committed any unchaste or improper act with Mrs. Hilton, nor made any unchaste or inn proper remark, proffer, or solicitation to her of any kind or description what ever.
 Third-If this were 8 question of errors of judgment Ion the part of Mir. Beecher, it would be easy to criticize, especially in the light of recent events. In such criticism, even to the extent of regrets and censure, we are sure no AA01A4 "SuAA JOA4 11OIO 61AC01O1y UQdA MT. Beecher himself.
 The Examining Committee presented to the church a resolution setting forth "That the evidence laid before the Ex- amining Committee not only does not afford any foundation for putting the pastor of this church, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, on trial, but on the con trary, established to the perfect satis- faction of his church, his entire inno- cence and absolute personal purity, with respect to all the charges now or heretofore made against him by Thee- dore Hilton. That our confidence in and love for our pastor, so far from be- ing diminished, are heightened and deepened by the unmerited sufferings which he had so long borne, and that we welcome him with sympathy more tender, and trust more unbounded, than we ever fels before, to his public labors among us, to our church, our families, our homes and our hearts,"
 The resolutions were adopted by rising vote, and unanimously, with the exception of Moulton, who voted nay.

uEs when the following scene occurred: He CBeecher) burst out in an expression of great sorrow to me, and said he hoped the communication which he had sent to me, by MT. Moulton was satisfactory !, to me. He then and there told MT. Moulton' he hsd done wrong not SO much as some others had (referring to his wife, who had made statements to MT. Bowen that ought to be unmade); and he there volunteered to write a letter to Mir. Bowen concerning the facts which he had misstated.' Here is clear light as to what the apology does not refer to. It disposes of the apology forever as 8 paper referring to adultery. It refers to nothing of the kind. saH the wrong done, to which MT. Beecher refers, was adultery, how could these words be used in reference to it: He had done wrong not so much as some others The absurdity of such claim is clear. Those words and the apology are susceptible of but one construction. They refer, as Mr. Beecher says, to his deep regard for statements which he and hls wife had, under certain information 8 few days before, made to MT. Bowen, which led hlm to execute 8 purpose already en- tertained, of removing Tilton from the Brooklyn Union and the Independent. It appears also, that the next day MT. Beecher did write the letter to MT. Bowen, which Hilton says he volun- tsered to write, and which referred to Tilton's business troubles with Bowen"
 The committee, "conclude, therefore, in view of these facts and circum. stances, that the original charge of inn pure advances. false though it was, has been dropped by these accusers, and adultery at this late day has been sub- stltuted as an after thought. We brand this performance as fraud that ought to end all controversy as to the inno- cence of Mir. Beecher.
 It is easy, now that we see what manner of men Hilton and Moulton are, says the committee, s'to wonder that MT. Beecher should intrust any interest of his to their keeping. When we look back upon the record made by
