Plymouth Church is at last, acting

with Plymouth. "What are YOU
going to do about it?" In short.
Bro Beecher proposes to paddle his

that Plymouth Church is strong

VIEWS OF A TEACHER.

As county papers are less under the
control of cliques and party patronage
than city papers, and derive their sup
port more Immediately from the country
people, they are found to be the readiest
media through which the common peo-
pie may give public expression to their
wants or grievances, almost every trade,
calling or profession has its grievances,
real or imaginary. The learned profess
sions, as they are called, have theirs,
and find the public press ready medium
through which to utter their griefs to the
world Artisans and mechanics form
ordinations to redress their wrongs,
and their strikes find sufficient editorial
eindication. The farmers under the name

Resuscifating the Drowned.

1t is not improbable that many drown
ed persons might be resuscitated, who are
left to perish for want of intelligent and
timely treatment. The rules proper in
such cases, which have been tested by
long experience. have been so often pub
lished that they ought to be generally

a man pulled out Of the water, apparent

the escape of water. Several times the

one brief instant, let it fall again upon her

"Yeur uncle died Ellinor, and the fair
elevation of this palace Of my life, which
had built with such confidence, was
shivered to the ground. The fortune was
left to you on condition that you married
Henry Dalton. Women are ambitious.
You would never surely resign such fort
une. You would marry young Dalton. q"
This was the lawyers answer to the all
important question. But those tender
gray eyes, looking up from under their
vail of inky lashes, had told sweet Sc
cret, and perhaps your generous heart
might count this fortune a very small
thing to fling away for the sake of the man
you loved. This was the lovers answer,

ed with the conditions of your uncle's
will until you attained your majority.
You were, at the time Of his death, barely

entire year in which you would remain
ignorant of the penalties attached to this
unexpected wealth. In the meantime, /,

The night following the day of Horace
Margrsve's funeral, Henry Dalton was
seated. hard at work, at his chambers in
the temple.
The light of the office lamp falling
upon his quiet face. revealed mournful
and careworn expressions not usual to
him.
He looked ten years older since his
marriage with Ellinor.
He had fought the battle of life, and
lost,-lost in that great battls which some
hold so lightly, but which to others is an
earnest fght,-lost in the endeavor to
win the wife he could so tenderly and
truly have loved.
He had now nothing left to him but
his profession-no other ambitIon-no
other hope
81 will work hard" he said, "that she,
though separated from me forever, may
still at least derive every joy, of those
poor joys which money can buy, from
my labor"
He had heard nothing of either Hor-
ace Margrave's journey to Paris, his ILL
ness, or his death. He had no hope of
being ever released from the oath which
bound him to silence-to silence, which
he had sworn to preserve so long as
Horace Margrave lived.
Tired, but still persevering. and alb
sorbed in difficult case, whicE needed
all the professional acumen of the clever
young barrister, he read and wrote on,
until past eleven o'clock.
Just as the clocks were Ginning the
half hour after eleven, he heard the bell
OF the outer door ring, as if palled by an
agitated hand.
His chambers were on the first floor;
on the floor below were those of a gentle
man who always left at six o'clock
II do not expect any one at such an
hour; but it may be for me" he though t.
He heard his clerk open the door, and
went on writing without once lifting his
head.
Three minutes afterwards, the door OF
his own Office opened, and a person en-
tered unannounced. He looked up sud-
denly. A lady dressed in mourning, with
her face entirely concealed by thick
vail, stood near the door.
Madame" he said with some sur.
prise, "may l ask"
She came hurridy from the door by
which she stood, and fell on her knees
at his feet, throwing up her vail as she

Margrave, my unhappy guardian. He
died week ago in Paris. He told me
all. Henry Dalton, my friend, my hus'
band, my benefactor, can, you forgive
me?'
He passed his hand rapidly across his
eyes, and turned his face away from her
Presently he raised her in his arms
and, drawing her to his breast, said in a
broken voice.
"Ellinor, have suffered so long anC
so bitterly, that can scarcely bear Thu
great emotion. Ny dearest, my darling
my adored and beloved wife, are, we in

cret which has had such a cruel influ'

LINES.

Er ALEX. a. cUxNISs.
Ye lofty an eternal hills
Whose rugged brows have hung for years,
And Ger the ancient valley Wept
Broad rivers Of tears;
Whose to wering peaks have kissed the sky,
In every strange, fantastic form,
And barred your rugged breast on high
To every storm,
Have not you felt in wintry blast,
Or softly signing winds of spring,
The demon of Islander, ghost-like, pass
To infict its stingT
1t cannot be, thy silent shadesj
Wrsp't in thy mystic sOlitudes,
: Would awe the serpent tongue of him
In such preludes;
His small and contrite soul would fear
The mighty rath of Him above,
Whose glitterirg asisj far and near,
Is stretched in love;
Whose ear is deaf to those who hate
His neighbor and his neighbor's all,
And ie,pise the mandate of his God
"GOod riH to air.
Though Cesar stained, perhaps, with crime,
And deeds Of good were far between,
Yet no voice of Islander stained the times,
Nor Caesars queen,
For honest men were Romans then,
And true indeed each Romans daughter,
And deceit as much then out of place
As oil on water.
But time has ohanged-hoE sadly changed!
And man, the downward road has erawIen,
And mighty Rome, with wealth and fame,
Itself has fallen
Palmyra, on her wide spread plain,
Her castles grim, and mighty towers,
Her armies proud with deeds of fame,
Mid Arcadian bowers.
Where basked her young and besuteous queen,
Whose smiles, like magic, round her shone,
But within whose breast n tyrAnt's heart
Lay cold as stone,
Would hesitate, and politic-like,
Twice would think before she spoke
Tao lie, which nations would see and know;
And ruin invoke.
But, yet there's soma that ne'er can see
From example, either great or small,
That he who wrongs his neighbour FRIEND
Himself must fall!
The guilty heart that hides behind
deceitful face, bedecked with smiles,
Itself will wear the mask away,
And show its guile
To the contempt Of those who were made
The target of its envy, hate,
When apologies and fondIing love
Will be too late!
But, oh, alasl how many hide
Behind the cloak too oftsu given
The sacred emblem here on earth,
Of love in heaven
To deceive their friends, their fellow man,
And calumniate those meath the sod,
And crouch beneath Religions shield
To deceive their God
Buta day OF reckoning sure will dawn
To him whO wrsngs his fellow man,
When God will separate the strong
The 6les.'d and dana'd!

of fame upon his head; but when
the most scientific school of medicine

unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by a well person. 1t will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the re.

water. Take a spoonful every hour.
