in" he CHrOHicic article and comment
ing thereon very severely, but ON the
whole, we think. ii rather bad taste and
spirit. Referring tn the writer of the
article he is reported H. saving:
.'If the man who wrote that dies in

Last weeks ChronjcI, had Il r,j"ndcr

although il had some sharp Things
against Nj. Bcrchcr. its tone and sell

the Sabbath keeping and Sabbath loving
people of the land. Referring to the
statement of Mr.. Bccchrr that III the
editor dies in the state of mind in
" hirh he now iS. shall never meet
him" the writer replies with some force
and sarcasm We Ito not remember
to have met, for many Years. Il state
mcnt coming from Mr.. Bccchcr 50 nm
cquivorally affirming his belief in the
enclosures of future punishment as
this does" And the writer further SAYS
that the article which So disturbed Mr..
Bccchcr. WIS written with great plain
ness of speech. under deep conviction
that Gods holy day was di>honorcd 10y

And much more the article has of re
proof and doctrine, which our space

ministry to an hnnorcd and happy old
age: t" Il warm place in the hearts of
all good men. and to an abundant en-
trance into the kingdom of Cod
That Mr.. Beccher is not insensible to
the religious sentiment of New Eng
