Beecher in his last Friday night lee
ture did not surprise those who have
watched the career of the man many
years when he declared that be should
remain with his church regardless Of the
v erdict of the jury. This is in keeping
with his higher law doctrine preached
twenty years ago, about the time he was
urging Shapes rifles and bibles for
bleeding Kansas. He defes the civil
authorities of his country when they re-
strict his licentious ideas or check bis
selfish purposes. The trial, in his eyes,
is a farce, unless the jury should find
for Beecher. In that event he and his
church would claim it as a v%indication Of
his innocence and purity. No, he will not
leave Plymouth Church. He could not
live without such a church, and Plymouth
would 90 to pieces without Beecher.
The two are one and iu2issoluble while
life lasts. They defy the world and the
law Of the land. even as Brigham

A story is current ia Paris as follows:
Vicompt de H was seventy years old,
and retained the freshness Of youth,
mentally as well as physically. This
was the result OF an odd theory put into
long practice. He lived always moder-
ately, systematically %reserving a proper
tionate share Of entertainment for his
old age. Certain books, plays and places
we're avoided by him uHtil the time pre-
scribed for them arrived, when he would
enjoy them all the more because of the
long anticipation. His appetite was
regulated in the same cool manner His
object, he said, was to escape firing of
lite, aud to use the worlds pleasures in
the wisest and most rational way. In
the realization ofbis plan he onlyreached
opera a short time ago. THE Hugue-
nots' was the one selected, and he was
in a state of high excitement on the
night Of his first visit to the Grand Opera
House. He had a whole box, and, being
an ardent lover of Meyerbeer's music, he
was enthusiastic in his admiration of the
entertainment. At the end of the 6rst
act, he fell from his chair and instantly
died. The undue agitation had induced
an attack of heart disease. 10 his desk
was found a carefully prepared pro-
gramme Of pleasure that would have
lasted until his eightieth year. 1t inclu-
ded a tour of America, the reading of
Dickens works, etc.
