UNDER THE DAISIES.

1t is strange what great deal of trouble we
take,
What sacrifice most of us willingly make,
How the lips will smile, though the heart may
ache,
And we bond to the.ways Of the world for the
sake
OF its poor and scanty praises.
And time runs on with such pitiless glow,
That our lives are wasted before we know
What work to finish before we 90
To our long rest under the daisies.
And too often we fall in useless fight:
For wrong is so much In the place Of right
And the end is so far beyond our sight
'Tis as one starts on chase by night,
An unknown shade pursuing.
Even 30 DO we see, when our race 10 run,
That of all we have striven for little 10 won,
And of all the work our strengh has done
How little was worth the doing.
But II one poor troubled heart can say, -.
"Hls kindness softened my life's rough way"
And the tears fall over our lifeless clay,
We shall stand up in heaven in brighter array
Than il all earth rang with our pralseR.
For the good we have done shall never Tade,
Though the work be wrought and the wages
paid,
And the wearied frame of the laborer laid
All peacefully under the daisies.

John Ruskin is not merely phrase
writer. An instance is given of his
practical benevol-nce, which shows that
he is sincere in his professed sympathy
for the poorer classes. Having pnr-
chased five freehold cottages in the
heart of London, he might have let them
! to tenants, drawn his rents, grumbled at
the repairs, and allowed the ground to
remain as he found it. But these i've
cottages overlooked yard which had
once been the back garden to lager
house. It was a dreary place, covered
with rubbish and potsherds and stag
nant pools. Here the ragged urchins OF
the neighborhood made their play
grounds. This Mr.. Ruskin enclosed
with wall, cleared and improved it, and
then turned it over to the boys as a lit
tie park Of their own. The neighbor-
hood has become better, the children are
more orderly, and the park is success
every way. The improvement was made
seven years ago, and now the trees are
gro wing, the creepers cover the walls,
swings and other playthings have been
introduced, and it is said there is not a
happier spot in any of the poor districts
Of London.

From Mansion In Vienna to q Prisoners
Cell In Sing Sing.

In the General Sessions yesterday,
Pauline Koehler pleaded guilty OF grand
larceny. The complaint was that she
hired a furnished room of Mrs. Cook, 1911
Varick street, and after brief occu-
pancy went away, taking cloak and
gold watch. She was without counsel,
and accepted her sentence Of five years.
Imprisonment without a whimper.
When on her way to the prisoners pen
she asked Detective Reilly, who arrested
her, TO have her picture taken, saying:
II want to send it to my father, DR.. Bin
der, of Wurtemberg, and show him what
he has brought his daughter to-"
Mrs. Koehler is the only daughter of
William Christian Binder, of Wurtem-
berg, whose conversion from Lutheran
ism to Catholicism was a sensation
twenty years ago. He is the son of a
Protestant clergyman, and was educated
for the ministry. His tastes inclined
him to literature, and he achieved such
| reputation from philosophical and his
torical writings that Prince Metterrich
made him Professor Of Political Economy
| in the University OF Vienna. He mar
| ried into noble family, and the prisoner
sentenced yesterday was reared in lux
ury and thoroughly educated. Her
mother died when the daughter was
| eighteen years old.
Within four months her father married

treated by her stepmother that she jour.
neyed to New York. She supported her.
self until married to Frederick Koehler,
a Prussian officer whose course in the
revolution of 1S40 drove him from his
country. Koehler, the prisoner says,
was a shiftless fellow who allowed her
to support MIN. They had six children,
and all, save one, died in infancy. In
1878 her husband and child disappeared.
A few months ago she was informed that
her grand aunt in Germany had lett her
la legacy, and it was her desire to raise
money to obtain this legacy that tempt
ed her to steal.

IT has been suggested that the Centen-
nial Commissioners have the Beechel
trial moved down to Philadelphia during
the great exhibition of 1876. Even if the
testimony should be closed by that time
it would be something of interest to have
the arguments OF counsel made there. A
building could be erected for the especial
accommodation of the jury during theil
months of retirement, while they review
and discuss the testimony.

dented popularity, and no inflated van
ity could sigh for louder applause than
he received.
And yet the author Of the "Social Con.
tract" and of "Emilie" was sadly sub
ject to frequent depression Of spirits for
which he found no relief except in the
arms Of female sympathizers and ad-
mirers. His melancholy drove him to
female companionship, and the "true in
wardness" which he enjoyed 80 de-
stroyed his.faith in female virtue that he
passed horrid judgment upon the firm.
ness Of woman. But Rousseau did not
possess Mr.. Beecher's health, vigor and
power.
Another example is Schleiermacher,
the eloquent German preacher and the
translator of Plato. He, too, was deeply
emotional, like Rousseau and Beecher,
and like them he found the most intimate
female companionship essential to his
happiness. His sympathetic relations
with tine sex were more delicate and
ecstatic than those of Mr.. Beecher, as
shown by the Brooklyn trial. The large
and brilliant society of which Schleier-
macher was the central figure, was much
like that of Plymouth. 1t contained
more genius ana learning, and, perhaps,
its greater breadth of character saved it
from public scandal.
Another example is Tom Moore, with
his "lrish Melodies" with their insp4ra-
tion of Irish liberty, and his "Lalla
Rookh," the most perfect poem of love ev-
er written. No Englishman or Irishman
was ever so literally regaled with the in
cense Of flattery and fame. His writings
commanded enormous prices for that Pc
riod, and he was offered 900 year to
edit the London Times. Though he had a
loving wife whom he adored, he was un-
fortunate with his children, and his mar
row financial capacity kept him on the
'ragged edge" of anxiety.
These were to him excuse enough for
depression and demand for female
sympathy; though with never so much
good fortune IN every respect he would
have equally felt the same need. Lady
Holland, the most brilliant OF English
women, was source of infinite comfort
10 him, without, for q moment, shaking
the confidence OF the s'noble Lord" him.
self.
| Including Mr.. Beecher, here are four
emotional characters among the most
famous men OF the world. Rousseau,
Schleiermacher and Moore had some
reason for4despondency Of either con-
| stitutional or circumstantial nature,
| while Beecher's case affords no appar-
ent ground of justification for such un-
happy seasons.
Emotion is essential to great success
as religious orator. Mr.. Beecher has
especially cultivated the emotional for
the sake of success, and perhaps under
the motive of doing more good. Emotion
is the source Of his great power, and it
led him into intimacy with certain SYM
pathetic and gushing ladies. 1t became
a weakness. 1t unnamed him. His
poverty of common sense permitted an
unfounded remorse and distress in view
of the explosion of the Tilton family,
and his emotion poured itself out in
these letters which he is now explaining
under oath.

THE EMOTIONAL TEMPERAMENT'
In explaining his "ragged-edge letter.

THE EMOTIONAL TEMPERAMENT'
In explaining his "ragged-edge letter"
Mr.. Beecher said:
@. What horror of great darkness did
you spend much of your time in? A. l
don't know; l can not define 1t, nor de-
scribe it. only know that am subject
to very profound darkness by times, and
reactions; just as, at the other extreme,
I am subject to very great Civilizations.
Mr.. Evarts, did not do right when
said, the most of my time. with great
emotion.] I lived very near TO God then,
and the most of my time l had peace.
Most of my time l was above it; but
there were days in which midnight came
at midday, and horror of darkness.
MIR. Beecher here presents problem
OF difficult solution, even by the most
erudite psychologist.
One would suppose that man so ia:
vored with health and vigor, SO libefally
supplied with all the good things OF this
world, SO hopeful and confident OF high
state Of felicity through all eternity, and
80 brilliantly surrounded by the ap-
plause OF mankind-what reason could
any one assign for such seasons OF des-
pondency, depression and melancholy? +?
We are not disposed to doubt the fact as
Mr.. Beecher has stated it. There are
mysteries in human temperament which
the psychologist can not explain.
1t is only known that historical per.
sonages have been subject to periods Of
melancholy, even after having achieved
all the aspirations of ambition, and all
the means of independence and enjoy.
ment. Perhaps no case similar to that
OF Mr.. Beecher can be cited in which the
victim of hypochondria possessed the
physical perfection Of the Plymouth
preacher.
Rousseau is an example which occurs
10 every well-read person. Rousseau
was much greater in genius and origin
aiity than Mr.. Beecher. He shot into
the heads of educated men new ideas
that built up powerful school of polit
ical and educational thought and pro
duced the French Revolution. Rousseau
