preferred against your wife. In other
words, how you reconciled that state
ment with the fact that she is charged
with adultery?
Answer (hesitatingly)-Well, sir, that
is sad question. | can answer only for
my own judgment of her behavior
not for other peoples opinions. You
must remember, sir, that knew Eliza
beth when was 10 years old that [ be-
came her confessed lover at Is; that [
was married to her at 20, and that, for
fifteen years of our married lives, I held
her In my reverence, perhaps almost to
the point OF making her an idol of my
worship; and when she came to her
downfall it was the necessity Of my own
heart that must find some excuse for her.
Other people might blame, but must
pardon her. / found that excuse in the
fact that she had been rapt up in her re-
igious teacher and guide, and had sur
rendered her convictions to him. She
went at his beck and lead trustingly !;
she walked after him like one blinded.
| thought she sinned her sin as one en-
tranced. I did not think she was free
agent. / think she would have done his
bidding if, like the heather priest in
Hindoo, he had babe her throw her child
in the Ganges, or cast herself under the
Juggernaut That was my excuse for
Elizabeth.
AS he spoke thus sorrowfully Of the
weak woman who had tangled her own
infrnities in the net of her ruin, his
voice faltered and began to tremble,
There was a great silence in the room,
50 that the rustic Of womans dress was
heard clearly by every one. All eyes
fastened upon Elizabeth Tilton, whose
cheeks were crimson, and who shrllnk
from the glare of curiosity like a, wound
ed animal. Beecher's own gaze was
fixed upon the gas-jets in the ceiling.

KISSING THE CHILDREN,

Kisses in the morning
Make the day seem bright,
Filling every corner
With a CLEAN of light:
And what happiness he misses,
Who, affections impulse scorning,
Departs, and gives no kisses
10 the children in the morning.
Many think it folly;
Many say it's bliss;
Very much depending
On whose lips you kiss
But the truth am confessing.
And I'd have you all take warming,
Ii you coVet any blessing,
Kiss the children in the morning
Kisses in the evening
When the lights are low,
Set two hearts attaining
With affections glow.
And the angels swarm in numbers
Round the pillow they are pressing.
Who are wOoed to peaceful siumbers
By dear ones fond caressing.
Kisses in the morning
Are not out Of place;
Kisses in the evening
Have special grace;
And it seems to me that this is
For indulgence lawful reason:
Sweetest tulips-I mean kisses i
Ye are never out of season!

WHAT WAS HIS CREED?

He left load of anthracite
In front Of poor womans door,
When the deep snow, frozen and white,
Wrapped street and square, mountain ana mool
That was his deed;
He did it well
.1What was his creed 2"
cannot tell
blessed Gin his basket and in his store"
In sitting down and rising up; A
When more he got, he gave the more,
Withholding not the crust and cup.
He took the lead 4
In each good task.
"What was his creed?"
did not ask.
His charity was like the snow,
Soft white and silent in its fall;
Not like the noisy winds that blow
From shivering trees the leaves; pail
For flowers and weed,
Dropping below.
"What was his creed?"
The poor may know.
He had great faith in loaves of bread
For hungry people, young and old,
And hope inspired, kind words he said
To those he sheltered from the cold;
For we must feed
AS well as pray.
''What was his creed?"
/ cannot say.
In words he did not put his trust
His faith in words he never writ;
He loved to share his cup and crust
With all mankind who needed it.
In time of need
friend was he.
"What was his creed?
He told not me.
He put his trust in heaven, and he
Worked well with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity tat
Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.
3 Let us take heed,
For life is brief
What was his creed? 2"
"What his belief?"

Eli Perkins Speaks.

Eli Perkins writes as follows to the
Chicago Journal:
Theodore Iilton looked upon himself
as giant and his wife as a pigmy. He
never consulted her about literary mat
ters, told her frankly that he was ashamed
of her, and that he was married to q per-
son beneath him in intellect. Mr..
Beecher, on the contrary, told me that
he found in Mrs. Tilton woman of ge-
MUS. When I asked him to explain in
what way Mrs. Tilton was remarkable,
Mr.. Beecher replied:
"Why, sometimes she had as good
Judgment in a question as the ripest
Judge on the bench. She could be as
learned as a Judge one moment, and the
next moment a giggling girl. She once
wrote an opinion on grave question
the Byron disclosure-which so enlisted
my attention that Tread it to good many
friends, and finally [ sent it to sister
Harriet. I have read literary passages
to her many time, in which she sug-
gested the wisest and most subtitle
changes"
But, to go on with the story. Mr.
Bowen, OF Brook YIN, told me that once,
after Tilton had returned from a lecture
tour, he was belittling his wife, saying
she was a mediocre woman and not fit
companion of man of his intellectual
culture, when the little woman, goaded
by his innuendoes to retaliate, ex-
claimed:
"You may not think me worthy Of
your love, Theodore, but [ know bet
ter man than you, grander and more dis
tinguished, who does love me-
&C Yes, it's that Beecher!' Kissed out
Tilton, as he took his hat, and uncere-
moniously left his wife.
It was that unguarded boast" said
Mr. Bowen, (Which the outraged wife
let out to punish her husband, which
reused Tilton's jealousy and suspicion
against Beecher.'
From that time on Theodore Tilton
had but one idea-a hatred of Beecher-
a jealousy, insane and morbid, which de-
voured him night and day.

Reecher,s Dread of naach.

New York Correspondence Rochester Democrat
Beecher, as it is now admitted, should
have retained Beach at any expense. All
who know the power of the man expect
that his invective on the defendant will
be the most cruel thing perpetrated in
any court of the world. There are hum
dreds who would give ten lollars to hear
Beach spread himself. The case Will
conclude with an avalanche of annihila-
ting power. It is said that Beecher breads
Beach more than any other element in the
case. He had an intimation of the lat
ler's incisive style in a few minutes
speech, which thrilled the audience like
o stroke of lightning. This plainly sng-
gests the terrors that are in store. Beach
and Beecher are much alike in character,
and are almost equal in age, in stature,
and in weight Had Beach been q
preacher he would have rivaled the ora
tor of Plymouth church in mercurial wit,
brilliance of thought, and originality of
expression. On the other hand, if Beecher
had been a lawyer he would have been
noted for that versatility of language,
that pictorial display of words and ideas,
that commingling of law with wit, satire,
and scathing denunciation, and that fex
ible and majestic utterance which mark
the famous advocate. AS the case now
stands it is one Beecher let loose on an
other. AS gentleman calmly remarked,
"Sir, Beecher has always been his own
worst enemy. His free and easy pulpit
style and his general display of what is
called Beecherism have continually in
jured him, and now he is obliged to meet
not only their damaging influence, but he
is also to take the punishment as it
were his own self" Another man re-
marked, ct would rather have all the
lawyers in America against me than
Beach," During six weeks Beecher has
seen this antagonist, like huge ana
conda, calmly waiting the proper mo-
ment to crush and swallow him. For this
reason it is now apparent that the great
blunder in the case was the omission on
the part of the defense to retain this legal
Jupiter Tonans.
