THE REASONS FOR CHARGING BLACKMAL

Technically, tho moneys obtained by MOul-
ton from Mr. do not fall within either definition
They were frankly and freely given, and not to an
avowed confederate. but to prOfessed mutual friend
They were obtained not by open menace but by the
cunning and treachery Of smoOthtongued confidence
man. Mr. Beecher was made to believe lic Moulton
persuaded him that Mrs TltOn had made him the object
of an undue and idoatrous passion; that Tlton really
believed that Mr. Beecher had estranged her love that
stories Mr. Beecher had repeated to Bowen the
unfounded calumnics Of g0ssipng and halfcraZed
women and that he had been by these and by his
ready crcduy, the instrument OF stripping TOn Of
year and destroying the peace OF his family and
blasting his personal reputation and his prospects of ed
toraI success after life. II he made to believe
these things had he done wrOng1 Was there nothing
OF which he ought repent nothing have SIAN
dered man hc assured Innocent Is nothing TO
have aenated affections OF truehearted and loving
wife? nothing to have blasted the prospects
and mother and children, and brought the one TO shame
and dshOOr and the other to poverty and dcsttuton
You know that had done neither OF these things but
he was made believe that he had done them ALL IL
only this Investigation that has unearthed these facts
which win blast the memory Of Theodore Ton and
In all future time.
Mr.. Beecher was made by that plausible Frank
Moulton, who deceived you 10y his plausi-
bly, through many days OF his examination
who deceivos every that in contact
with him until he has the OF see

Mr. Beecher was deceived by him into the belief
that he had been guilty OF these great wrongs And
they great that he should not be undeceived
They said TO him Islander OF clergyman is like SLAM

Gentleness of Character.

Oae of the early Christian teachers, who
was born with a violent temper, became a
model of gentlene0s as he grew older.
Ga one occasion he was assailed with a
torrent of most furious words. The good
teacher looked at the passionate man who
had thus addressed him with tranquil eye,
and did not reply by a single word. The
furious man, still more engaged, spoke more
bitterly than before. The Christian man
preserved his patience.
When the fellow had at last retired, the
Christian was asked how he could keep 81
lence under such prOvocatiOn. He replied
"My tongue and l have made a compact,
and we have agreed that while my heart is
full of hot feeling my tongue shall not say a
word, Could l. teach this poor ignorant
man better how to govern and restrain him
self than by holding my tongue; and would
his rage have been sooner appeased had not
kept silence? Ought we not to have COM
passion on an unfortunate person who is car
ried away by his passon?'

Good Advice to Boys.

Rev. c. H. Sturgeon gives boys the fol
lowing bit of good advice Do not imagine
that you cannot now be Christians the gifts
Of our heavenly Fathers love are not re-
served for certain age; boys may be saved,
boys may be workers for Jesus, boys may
bring great glory to God. Hence it is that
just now, at this particular turniDg-point in
your lives, we are anxious to see you reso-
lutte for the right way, May the Holy
Spirit incline you to resolve to be the Lord
Others may despise your conscientious choice,
and make mirth of your holy carefulness,
but what matters it? Some of US have been
laughed at for these twenty years, and are
none the worse for it.; we have had all man
ner of evil spoken falsely of US for Christ'S
names sake. But We are all the happier
for it. 0 boys, if you are renewed in heart,
and become for life and death the Redeem
er's, none can really harm you; all must be
right with him who is right with God. Hold
on, then, to the Sabbath School, and when
you cease to be taught, become teachers
Hold on by the Sabbath services and all the
ordinances of the house of the Lord, and
say, like Ruth to Naomi, Thy people shall
be ny people, and thy God my God

Agricultural Wastes.


The New York Mercantile Journal says
The number of persons out Of employment,
and actually suffering for the necessaries of
life in this new, sparsely populated country
is something more than reflection upon the
taxation and dishonesty now referred to as
reasons for dullness and depression. 1t lie
serious reproach to the system of agrcul-
ture at present prevailing. To see the pop
ulation of the agricultural portions of the
Eastern States diminishing, and the land
abandoned to weeds and newly encroachng
forests or bushes, and at the same time one
.in.ten of the inhabitants Of the,rapidly in
cSsa;sifig CITIES idle aud actually wanting food,
jssof itself a disgrace to the nation. 1t was
some years ago common remark in refer
eaes to part, Of ahe eouaherq States that
when the fertility 1T Their soil became ex-
hausted, the inhabitants removed westward
to new fields. If this was then true of the
South, it is now even more true of the North.
The " enterprise" Of the country goes West
or to the cities, to become "genteel' idlera,
or politicians, while it cannot be denied that
many who remain "reduee expenses" in or
der to exist. They cultivate less land be-
cause they find farming unproftable; and
so there is steadily diminishing demand
for farm help all over the East. AS soon as
manufacturers are depressed, the number of
idlers is doubled and an additional burden is

of service. How much more praiseworthy
to produce crops enough from two or three
acres to subsist family than to beg! Let
"bummers" be forced to the poor farms to
earn their living.
