A PICTURE FROM LIFE.
by EDITH.

A young man Just entering upon life.
1.-THE only son of his mother, and she was
a widow" He had sisters, fair and gen.
tie girls, who labored hard with the needle
to earn a comfortable support for their old
mother and themselves.
And this young man-did he not labor,
also, for the same laudable purpose? Was
it not his ambition to lessen the load of
his sisters, and "by the sweat of his brow"
make his mothers journey down the hill
of life pleasant and peaceful?
Alasl no. He thought it was degrading
to work. He did not scruple to wear clo-
thing earned for him by the industrious
hands of his sisters. He saw the graver
of care tracing wrinkle upon. wrinkle, day
after day, on the once smooth brow of bis
mother. He knew that he was filing her
loving heart to overlooking with sorrow.
He saw that his sisters were growing pale
and sad-eyed from the shame he brought
upon them.
But this young man did have an ambi-
ton. He loved to boast of his drunken fol-
lies and scrapes. And, OIL how he delight

He was model young man: one of the

The years rolled on, and our model
young man grew older, but no better.
All of the hours of the day, and many
of those of the night, were spent loafng
about the barrooms and groceries. His
companions were only the drunken, and
idle, and vicious of the neighborhood.-
Want pinched sorely those poor women
at home, and from them he wrung their
hard earnings, which he squandered in
debauchery on those no better than him.

MOUNT TABOR.
BY JOHN BAY.

On Tabor's height glory came,
And, shrined in clouds of lambent fame,
The awe-struck, hushed disciples saw
Christ and the prophets Of the law;
Moses, whose grand and awful face
OF Sinai's thunder bore the trace,
And wise Elias, in his eyes
The shade Of IsraePs prophecies,
Stood in that vast mysterious light
Than Syrian moons more purely bright,
One on each hand-and high between
Shone forth the godlike Nazarene.
They bowed their heads in holy fright
No mortal eyes could bear the sight,
And when they looked again, behold!
The fiery clouds had backward rolled,
And borne aloft, in grandeur lonely,
Nothing was left, "ssve Jesus only"
Resplendent type Of things to bel
We read its mystery to-day
With clearer eyes than even they,
The fisher saints of Galilee.
We see the Christ stand out between
The ancient law and faith serene,
Spirit and letter-but above
Spirit and letter both was Love.
Led by the hand of Jacob'e Ged
Through wastes of ED a path was trod
BY which the savage world could move
Upward through law and faitL to love.
And there in Tabor's harmless flame
The browning revelation came.
The old world knelt in homage due,
The prophets near in homage drew,
Law ceased it's mission to fulfill
And Love was lord on Tabor's hill.
So now, while creeds perplex the mind
And Hranglings load the weary wind,
When all the air is filed with words
And texts that ring like clashing swords,
Still, as for refuge, we may turn
Where Tabor's shining glories burn
The soul of antique Israel gone
And nothing left but Christ alone.

ural Committee room at the Capitol
when a committee Of ladies' were met
there by a Congressional committee.
Soon after this [ had conversations with
Mr.. Beecher about it. He was very
apprehensive, and more than nce made
the remark that he was q natural born
coward and could not publicly avow his
real sentiments, though he had been a
pupil of Stephen Pearl Andrews for nine
teen years. He claimed that there was
nothing criminal III his love for Mrs.
Tilton, and that it was spontaneous.
Was the matter known OF in private
circles!
Why, certainly.
What induced you to publish it?
One powerful motive was to please Mr..
Beecher and to comply with his request
that [ should do it. He said to me it
could not be held back much longer,
and he would have no power to fight the
story if it should come out in the secular
press, but if it was published in my pa
per he might be able to rally from the
blow. He said he had lived long enough
with the sword of Damocles hanging
Over his head.
What followed the publication?
The arrest of myself and sister and the
contiscation of all or property. 1t is
safe to say that we should have received
orders for a million and a half of copies
of that issue of the weekly. We had
printed some POO, 900 when one evening,
after office hours, a Mr.. COmstock went
to the office, and from the porter there
bought fourteen papers, and then hired
the porter to take them to the POstotfice.
He followed on, and as soon as he saw
them depart he had the porter arrested
and q warrant issued for Our arrest for
sending obscene matter through the
mails. / first heard of the order through
the Lotus Club that same evening.
What followed is a matter of public and
legal history. l was arrested for a job
which Beecher put up.
Were your things taken when arrested?
Why, sir, the officers emptied the con-
tents of our trunks into the street and
carried them off. They left us of our
clothing only the dresses we went to
Ludlow street Jail in.
Previous to the publication were you
on friendly terms with Beecher, Tilton,
and Moulton
We were excellent friends. They were
frequently at my house, and 1 was very
often at Mr.. Moultonis. Mr.. Beecher,
Mr.. Tilton, and myself often dined at
MOulton's, and Franks Burgundy wine
was the subject of many q joke with us.
1t was very superior, and Mr.. Beecher
let his glass go dry. One day at
dinner one of us asked him how he could
drink wine and go out as he proposed to
that evening and deliver a temperance
lecture. He replied: "The inner man
dimes and drinks the wine; it is the outer
man that will speak to the temperance
people"
Mr.. Tilton was then happy with his
wife?
Yes. Theodore had thoroughly con-
doned his wife's fault, and had told Mr..
Beecher if he loved her it was all right.
The last time I saw Theodore at Murray
Hill he came in saying, "Tm ten feet
taller than ever before" | asked him
what he had done. He said that when
going home from my house the evening
previous he met Dir. Beecher on the
boat, and, walking up to him, said,
"You have nothing to fear from me-"
and then he described how he saw Mr..
Beecler safely home.

Is not Moulton the most remarkable
man, after all, in this scandal? Since he
has completed his testimony, it is easy
to understand why he should have beer
trusted and hearkened to alike by Beecher
and Tilton. A New York boy, with a
common-school education and a CONNER
cial training, acquiring his means by
acute perception and untiring appllca-
ton. and an amateur only in literature
and art-he is an excellent specimen of
the American type of self-reliant, self
made men. He displayed during his
long examination and tremendous cross
examination the mental force and moral
courage which fully account for the al
miration of two such remarkable men as
Reecher and Tilton. Without bravado
or buncombe, be gave his direct evidence
without the suspicion Of alesson learned,
and faced the fierce fire of the cross
examination without finching. During
ten DAVIS he showed himself the equal OF
the formidable display of legal ability
which had been massed against him. 1t
will take overwhelming testimony to
break down evidence given with the per
spicacity, force, directness, and familiar
ity with which Moulton said everything
he had t. say. 1t looks now as If the
defendants counsel would only discover
sufficient contradiction and inconsistency
in his testimony which the recollection
of a mass of Incidents, covering a long
period of years, must involve in order tc
commend itself as truthful.

MI. Evarts arose slowly from his seat,
and, without ~formality, put his first
question, while Mr.. Tilton changed his
position and answered it with cOmposure.
The questioning was unbroken by any
misunderstanding, until Mr.. TiltOn was
asked whether Mrs. Tilton's residence
had been at Mr.. Ovington's since she
separated from him. He declined to say
that it had been, and finally said "Her
residence IS at my house." Then Mr..
Evarts asked the witness what he meant
when he said hat his age was about
thirty-nine, to which Mr.. Tilton replied
that he meant exactly what he said.
After this there were frequent sharp ex-
changes of words between the examiner
and the plaintiff, but always in good
nature, Mr.. Evarts being invariably
suave and Mr.. Tilton extremely digni-
fed. MI. Tilton did not lose an oppor
tunity to praise his wife, and once, when
asked whether she enjoyed and sought
the company of people with great
minds, he replied "No. She rather
went to the lowly and unfortunate. She
