life has for some time been arrested, and
who, when the recromantic spell that
keeps his blood moving shall have been
Withdrawn, will dissolve into a handful
OF cold and harmless ashes. He seems
put specter-a phantom, doomed when
the end OF this trial shall have been
reached, to be as if indeed he never had
been +; shadowy monster born Of, and
TO be burned in, the womb OF mystery
the colorless, passionless, ifeless high
priest of revenge.
A Breeze of Excitement.
[From the SUM-
A protracted dispute took place be-
tween counsel as to the introduction of
Miss Proctor's name Mr. Evarts said
that 1t was 10 evidence, and Mr.. Tracy
said that he assumed the responsibility
OF mentioning it Judge Nelson, with
considerable warmth and marked imper-
ativeness, told Mr.. Tracy there was a
higher responsibility than his, informed
Mr.. .Evarts that the matter was not in
evidence and never would be with his
consent, and directed the stenographer
to strike out Miss Proctor's name wher-
ever 1t occurred Mr.. Evarts excepted
to the direction of the court, and the
brush between counsel created some ex-
element in the room. Moulton was then
examined as to expressions of hostility
made to other persons by him against
Beecher. He was asked whether, in his
house, he had told Mr.. Wallace Caldwell,
the Plymouth usher, that Beecher was a
liar and libertine, and that he would
cut him down if necessary. Moulton in
dlgnantly denied this, and in tone of
voice which recalled his visit to the meet
ing in Plymouth Church, said, Ct knew
he was a sneak when he came to nv
house. A scene followed, Mr.. Evarts
protesting vehemently, and demanding
that the answer must be stricken out, and
Judge Fullerton regretting that Moulton
had not struck Caldwell out of his house.
Order was restored by Judge Nelson's
vigorous use of the gayel., A series OF
similar questions followed, when the
court was adjourned.
Beecher's Greed.
A paper printed in Richmond, Ind,
publishes letter from Henry Ward
Beecher, lately received by the Rev. I.
Hughes, of that city, in which the pastor
of Plymouth Church gives his views on
certain doctrinal points at considerable
length. Among other things he says
Il believe that all men ara born into imper-
fection and that as soon as intelligent action
begins they fall into sin. and that no man evel
kept the law of God with all his heart and mind
nor even with any single faculty. believe that
all men need moral revolution a change Oh
heart, and that such change, while it involves
mans own will, is also, and effectually, the
result of Gods Spirit. I believe that the Holy
Spirit blesses parental example and teaching
IN some cases., so that the children are brought
by the Divine Spirit into the Christ life at ver!
early period and even without any conscious
change-but, early or late, the human soul does
not rise into spiritual character without the
qulckening and nourishing influences of Gods
Spirit. But | believe and teach necessarily tina
conversion is only change, and not character
and that Christian gr8ces experience habits
knowledge, are the results of education in tht
Divine life that, upon entering upon Chris
tan course, every one becomes a scholar o.
Christ, and like scholars of human knowledge
learn by the normal use of their faculties tina
daily household duties, business cares anC
dutios, special rel ations, and tho whole flow O.
secular life, is the school in which God drills
men as really in the closet or in the church
that the whole of life is, in the hands of the
Divine Spirit, means of grace I differ with
my brethren of the evangelical churches il
some details, but more yet in the philosophy by
which the facts of religion are to be explained
but [ am at hearty agreement with them in the
Divinity of Christ, the Trinity. the Sinfulness
of Man, the Universal Need of a Change Of
Heart of the Holy Spirit as the Efficient Agen
in Conversion"
