ORIGINAL PoETRY.-The worst thing

take EN- of and let us up. Notwith-
standing the size of our ears. No. Is,
we are totally bereft Of those musical
qualities which so readily appreciate the
efforts of the young muses. in trying to
mount the pOetical Pegasus. An orig
inal lode to spring" about twelve times
a year, in which the peculiarities of that
original and remarkable season are faith
fully put down in rhymes, is well enough.
but to be overwhelmed with heart and
soul torturing verses every time some
body dies, is what makes US succumb.
1t Is impossible to read this kind of
original poetry without weeping. Ifpeo-
pie would be considerate and not die Of
tener than spring comes, we might get
along without summoning help; but they
will. One of the saddest duties the ed
itor of the country press has to perform
is the battling with obituary poems He
often sheds tears with the afflicted while
denying their requests to lacerate the

BEECHER ON THE STAND.

At last Henry Ward Beecher is on
the stand, and everybody is reading his
testimony with the most eager interest.
He emphatically denies all the charges
brought against him by Tilton, and all
the admissions and confessions asserted by
Moulton. He carries himself with great
vigOr. frankness, and buOyancy, and the
manner as we'll as the matter of his tes-
timouy must have great weight with the
jury. Much that seemed mysterious in
this extraordinary case is explained by
his straightforward story. Thus he
says he did not 90 to MOulton for adj
vice, but that Moulton first came to him
as Tilton's friend. His description of
the interview between himself and Moul-
ton. when the 'sletter OF contrition" had
its origin, is very striking, and is said
to have held the audience almost breath
/ less.
/ Indeed, one Of the most remarkable
features of the trial is the wonderful
/ dramatic power with which Mr.. Beecher
describes the interviews between him.
self and TiltOn, Mrs Tllton, MoultOn
and Others He assumes the very air
and bearing of the speakers, reprOduc-
ing their gestures and their tones of
voice, and all In the most natural man
ner possible. His humor occasionally
breaks out, and at times his emotion is
almost beyond control But through all
the extraordinary vigOr Of the man, his
readiness, GOODNESS and wit are most con-
spicuOus. However great may be the
powers of Mr.. Fullerton as a cross-ques-
toner he is likely to meet his match in

Il has all along been evident that his
own letters we're the strongest evidence
against him, and if be succeeds in ex-
planning these to the satisfaction of the
jury his aequittal will follow as mat
ter Of course On his own word must he
stand or fall. Thus far he has borne
himself with the assured air Of innocence.
His details of Tilton's allegations were
made with the utmost solemnity and in
the strongest possible form There was
no evasion, quibbling or Sinking the
direct issue. Every charge was met
with square denial. 1t is a momen-
tOus question to ask, Is such declare
