GUESTS OFTHE HEART.

So't falls through the gathering twilight.

And stirs with Il trcmulouS rustic,
The dead and the dying leaves;
While afdr in the midst of the shadows,

Come borne on the wind of the autumn,
That iitfuliy rises and swells.

They answer and mingle again

Make harmony still in their strain;
As the voice of sentincl5 mingle

Floats down 10 The valleys below.
The shadows, the tre-lsht of even,
The sound of the RAIN distant chine,
Come bringing with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts Ola shadoWy time;
Tie slumberous sense of scciLs ion,
From storm and intrudcr5 aoof,
We feel IN the silence of fmlinLgnt
The patter Of ram on the root.

sea birds is almost incalculable. But be-
sides all their natural enemies. the fish
have had to contend for over thirty years
past with the fixed engines and weirs
which destroy them as they travel to their
spawning grounds, and the Professor
thinks that the only way TO prevent the
extinction Of edible fish is to establish Ger

the fixed engines and weir which give the
fish no chance for their lives, and take In

people imagine that Mark Twain Is ex-
ceedingly smart. We knew him when he
was grinding platitudes for the Virginia
Enterprise. and he was a notoriously lazy
grinder. He would sit at his editorial ia

the occasion Of apprehension Edge Letter" April 8, S:6.
 Nor does it anywhere appear that Moul- ton gave Mir. Beecher the least reason to suppose he considered him innocent of the crime with which Tilton charged him. The great preacher took as his sole confdant comparative stranger who pro- fessed no faith in his innocence, and un- der whose guidance he practiced all the arts of guilt for four successive years. During all that time he kept the secret that was killing him, that drove him to the point of writing his resignation of Lis pastorship of Plymouth church, from his own wife, and from the thousands of tried and devoted friends, who have stood by him throughout this terrible trial. Is it credible that Henry Ward Beecher, of all ! innocent men, should show such weak ness. such cowardice, such utter want of faith in humanity. as this? Worse yet. we must believe that he added the crime of hypocrisy to the crime of cowardiee. Was there any sincerity in all the fulsome letters and in all the professions of tower ing regard and unalterabie affection with which he piled Moulton. Mrs. Tilton. and even Hilton himself? We clip specimen scene from MT. Beecher's testimony:
 When went in Mir. Tilton received me moodily and then after little conversation and explanations which took place he became gracious and fen ntoan easy and unbusness like chat, and in the of it. sit ting there in the oldfashioned way in his house, went up and argued-sat down on his knee 1t were to make the appeal closer and when sitting there Mrs Hilton came into the room and burst out laughing reconect that interview, and think when she came into the room she came up and kissed sme very cor brought me there only that it was something with which he dissatifed with me, mad not done the duty that was expected of me.
 This passage occurred in the latter part offMay '71, says Mir. Beecher, and such were the demonstrations with which he strove to avert the anger of 8 Jalse &C., cuser! To us all these letters, all this course of action, have seemed from the beginning inconsistent with any theory of innocence. Nevertheless. we thought it our duty to wait for such explanation of them as the defendant could give That explanation is now finished, and to us it seems an ut ter failure. To many, probably to most of our readers, it will seem perfectly satis- factory. Their faith in the man has led them into a fatal over-estimate of the value of his testimony as witness.
