BEECHER.
Singular Plea f0r the Plyln-
Outli Pastor.

FROM inc LV"tspttte IVHf tct -"V0fH0ts j
Really there is little more to be
said eth for or against Mr..
Beecher. That he is guilty Is
proven by mountain Of evidences;
that he Is innocent rests upon the
word of himself and his paramour.
In casting up the score, however,
it be hooves us to be liberal.
Tilton deserves all he has got for
his folly. Mrs. Tilton is a sublim-
ated jackass in female attire. The
question that ought 10 perplex
us relates to the degree Of the pas
tors guilt how greatly was he
tempted; how far was he justified
in ignoring Tilton; how large or
small relation does this particular
embarrassment hold toward the
general tenor of his life
There is story that, during Mr.
Beecher's sojourn in London, some
wicked Americans caused him to
be Swallowed by an expert detcc-
tive, and that this professional per-
son tracked him to some very foul
places. Is Mr.. Beecher lifelong
debauchee--a lecherou5 mackerel
caught at last upon a pin hook
or is he the gallant OF an episode,
the victim of a ridiculous affection
for a wax doll:
The wisest and strongest men
have succumed to the most artifi-
cial feminine wiles. Your strap
ping wench. however comely,
rarely exercises any substantial or
lasting power. The woman who
brings herself and her hero to the
block is usually fidgety, light
headed fool, frivolous saw-dusty
and with turn for flirting,in short,
an artful liar, who dupes by spe-
cies of sentimental simpering very
potent with ardent, credulous con-
ceited vain and imaginative man
ly natures. There is such thing
as being too sweet, and this seems
to be Mrs. Tilton's virtue. She is
obviously a canning little dowdy,
with the trick Of innocence. In
person Becky Sharp,in charac 81
a Lizzie Greyst0ck mot possessing
any of the talents of Thackeray's
heorine nor any of the beauty of
Trollope's--she seems to have TAX
en- Mr.. Baecher and done for him
by the sheer force of his weakness.
Men are such fools, and unluckIly
the better the man is the bigger
the fool he is likely to be; for
where women are concerned, If a
man is not a fool he is generally
villain.
In a liason somebody must be
deceived I; often enough 1t is the
libertine; rarely the wife Now
and then she has the excuse of cru
ell treatment at home, producing
desperation and that sense Of reck-
lessness which drives both to ire
spensible actions. In any event
she proceeds with her eyes open,
and has no right to complain Of the
consequences. In an affair between
a man and married woman the
true claimant for commisseration
is the man, not the woman. The
world adjudges differently. 1T al
lows an innocent young girl, dup
ed and seduced, to 60 headlong to
the devil, leaving the scoundrel
who has betrayed her to cut and
come again, while it visits upon
the victim of somebody else's wife
its severest condemnation.

Never Get Discouraged.

Never get discouraged,
Though yourseffsrts seem to fail; (
IF right, have faith and patience
Aid our cause will yet prevail.
Tie man who goes to battle
With a finching towards soul,
VIII never wear the laurels
While the years in order roll.
Never get discouraged,
Put your shoulder to the wheel;
Let your will be like iron,
And your nerves of finest steel.
Let the faltering call you foolish.
Let the weak in heart deride;
fla neighbor stop your progress
Put him gently to the side.
Never get discouraged,
Though the Sky seems dark a
night,
For the sun viii shine Tomorrow
And God will aid the right.

The Game of Life.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.


THERE'S game much in tashion-I think it's called
Euchre:
Though never have played it for pleasure lucrs
In which when the cards in certain conditions,
The players appear to changed their positions.
AMI one of them cries In a confident tone,
Il think may venture to so it alonc""
While watching the game, tits within OF the badr'a
A moral to draw from that skirmish of cards,
And to fancy he finds in in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the battle of Life;
Where-whethcrthe prize be ribbon throne
The winner is he who can Ego it alone ~
When great Galileo proclaimed that the world
In regular orbit was c,aselessy whirled,
And got-not convert-for all of his pains,
But only derision and prison chains,
1T moves, for all tbatl, was his answering tone
For he knew, like the Earth, he could "go it alonet-
When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovering the laws of each planet and star.
And doctors, who ought to have auded his name,
Derided his learning, and backened his fame,
II can wait ~ he replied It'll the truth you shall
own -
For he felt in his heart he could Ego it alonc!'
Alas! for the player who idly depends,
In the struggle of life. upon kindred or friends.
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They never atone for ingorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds with groan.
That his clutches have left him to Ego 1t alone!"
There's something, no doubt, in the hand you may
hold, 81
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold,
The fortunate owner may fairly regard
AS each in it's way, most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these !or your
own, l-iens sN9 -t fe
Unless you've the courage to go 1t alone,'
In battle or business, whatever the game
In law orin love, it is ever the same;
In the struggle for power or the scramble for pef
Let this be your motto-"RELY ON YOURSELF"
For, whether the prize be ribbon throne,
The victor is he who go it alone."

The new Hotel, THE SPooTswooD, under my pro-
prietorship is open and ready to receive visit

very enlarged experience for 10 years as hotel and
springs proprietor having kept the old umbian

pie OF Rockingham and the adjoining counties ana
the travelling public generally to call at the Spotts-
wood and see whether he does not we'll understand
the business of his life.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the Table, the
Parlors and the Chambers will always be found
agreeable.
The proprietor, in conclusion, is quite sure the
