And this was my beginning
Of woODg and winning
But when q maid opposes
And throws away yonr roses,
You say the Gaze force loses.
Yet sorry wit one uses
Who loves and thinks he loses
because q maid refuses
For by her once denying
She only means complying
Upon second trying.
When Arst said, in pleading
Behold, my love lies bleeding ~
She heard me half unheeding.
When aterward told her
And blamed her growing colder
She dropped upon my shoulder
Had . doubt That Quellcd IT,
Her very look dispelled IT,
caught her hand and held IL.
Along the lane led her
And while her cheeks grew reddcr,
sought outright u wed her.
Good end from bad beginnlngi

And sill ! watch her spinning

A Pittsburg Query.

From the PlttSburg CommerclaL
Last weeks number OF the Christian Unton--
Henry ward Beecher's paper-has notable ar.
tcle entitled "As we forgive our debtors" It
takes the ground that in the Divine disposition
"there is no place for yindctve wrath, no place
for the inniction OF suffering save as means OF
cure" and not that OF condensation" while,
later on, IL urges that the essence OF the Bible is
love- and that 'lOve's whole nature is 10 restore
the lost, to heal, TO save" The query is, the
article written BY Mr.. Beecher, and ii so, under
what inward pressure It sounds vastly ike q
mans piteous CRY for mercy at the hands OF his
fellow men.
Singular Opinion.
IBrsnch's letter from New York to the Buffalo
COurler.l
1t is thought by candid and charitable outsiders
that II MI Beecher and Mira Tilton should unite in
q confession that they had slid unawares into q
deplorable love scrape, but without criminality OF
action, everything would be consistently ex.
planned and something very like the truth would
be revealed without destroying confidence IN the
integrity OF either OF them But sucn conclusion,
while retaining for Mr.. Beecher the respect and
sympathy due to human weakness without turpi-
tude, would cut down his position and power Is
OF other large stockholders in Plymouth church,
would never do. They will, therefore, persist In
that Mr.. Beecners agony unto death and the
ntter ruin he confessed to be impending over HIM
had no other substance than conscious
ness OF having given inudiclous advice In
domestic quarrel All expectation is now concen-
trated on Mr. Frank Monlton's testimony, the
character OF which must be the turning point in
the case. lf the concessions made to HIM orally
were more distinct than those committed to him
in writing we shall be sorry. IL does not seem as
II he could have been the medium and trustee OF
that confession without knowing what II was
aoOut.

Work on the railroad bridge at this
place, after long suspension, was re-
sumed yesterday, under the superin-
tendence of Major V. r.. Olcott. The
immediate object is to span the Trinity
and extend the track few miles for
the greater facility in shipping beeves;
but should the pending plans be per-
fected, the road will doubtless be eX-
tended to Fort Worth before II great
while. The people of that place, are of
course, and very justly, anxious to
have this done without delay-the
more so, as they have been heretofore
sadly disappointed by the procrastina-
tons caused by the financial panic of
last year, for which the company,
however, could not be censured. That
they desire to continue the road west
in good faith, we have never doubted,
and the sooner the better for the cOun-
try. If it could reach the plains of the
west, the frontier, ut least south of the
line, would be secured against the dep
relations of the wild Indians and
would settle uprapidly,a consummation
more to be desired than any blessing
now in prospect for Texas.
