Alas. The course Of true love runs
roughly yet.

lie Has Had too MANY Kisses.

Mr., Beccher has been kissed too
much. If he had a less brilliant
mind and weaker head he would have
made a donkey of himself long age,
Very probably he might never have
written the wretched letters that
stand against him now if the fibre of
his mind had not been weakened by
this mushy food of praise and kisses
that has been served up to him. He
is not the first clergyman to whom en-
account of it has been threatened the
ruin of body and soul, but he is a
most conspicuous example of the
evil, Baltimore american.
