For hungry people, young and old,
And hope inspired, kind words he said
To those he sheltered from the cold
For We must feed

man, great and holy man, and that he
had repeatedly assured her that their
relationship was not sinful, and she did
not see how it could be sinful. He had
told her that love justified all things !;
that love had various expresslons-one
expression was shake of the hand, an
other was kiss on the lips, another was
sexual intercourse it made little

the love was right its rightfulness justi-

that she believed, before God, that her
love for Beecher was right, and his for

The Self-Abnegaffng Love of Tilton.
CChicago Tribune Report.J

Question by Fullerton-In answer to
a question put by Mr.. Evarts with re-
gard to your wife, you answered: ST
think my wife loves everything good and
hates everything bad, and believe to-
day she is good woman" Now, / want
to ask you the foundation for that belief,
in view of this charge that had Been
preferred against your wife. In other
words, how you reconciled that state
ment with the fact that she is charged
with adultery3
Answer hesitatinglye sir, that
is sad question. I 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 I be-
came her confessed lover at I6 that I
was married to her at 90. and that, for
fifteen years of our married lives, held
her In my reverence, perhaps almost to
the point of nakin0 her am 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 I must
pardon her. I found that excuse IN the
fact that she had been rapt up In her re-
ligious 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.
I thought she sinned her sin as one en-
tranced. ! did not think abe was free
agent I think she would have done his
bidding If, like the heathen priest In
HindoO, he had bade her throw her child
in the Ganges, or cast herself under the
Juggernaut. Thas was my excuse for

me by him IN his evidence of Tuesday of

how indignant many of my friends feel
on count of the slurs cast upon me.

not interfere In any manner with its prog

the rendering of the verdict, this case
will be concluded, he will learn his error
possibly too late to avert the doom that
he is inviting upon his head. The infin-
itely greater and more important part of
this case will be undecided when this
trial shall have closed. It is in the YER
dict that shall follow the one which this
court will render that am chiefly con-
cerned. The mere present is nothing

He may struggle now to make the shad-

heavier and darker but when he shall
stand unveiled, as stand he shall, he viii
blush as deeply for his present efforts
as he now pretends to for what has
passed.
CATER this trial is closed, shall have
a plain, simple statement of facts to
make, in which there is set forth the
truth in detail about all that has occurred
since the 22d day of May, 1861, In which
any of the parties to this scandal were
involved. That statement will be all
that is required to confirm the truth or
expose the falsity of Mr.. Tilton's testi-
mony regarding his relationship with
me. Wait patiently for it, as I shall
wait to give it.

To the children in the morning.
Many think It folly;
Many say it's bliss
Very much depending
On whose Fps you kiss
But the truth am confeesfna
And I'd have you all take warning,
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,l
Who are wooed to peaceful slumbersI
By dear ones fond caressing.

Are not out Of place;
Kisses in the evening
Have q special grace;
