Bccchcr ON Love in n Cottore.

Last Sabbath week ago, Mr.. Beecher,
after sprinkling twenty-six babies, advised
young people when they married to set up
housekeeping for themselves. He would
not take any consideration for the three
years OF his Lille when he settled down in
the immortal county of Dearborn, town of
Lawrenceburg, in Indiana, where he was
paid at the rate of S400 year. With $500
of that money he came east and got married.
After lie and his wife returned to Indi-
ana they lived in two rooms. What fur
niture they had was given to them; and,
continued Mr.. Beecher, " if was put upon
my confession, l should say that l wore
Judge Burke's clothing" The clergyman
somewhat hulnorously described the home
and his battle for life, and feelingly added :
"When look back to those happy years.
wouldn't part with them for untold gold" !"
He continued that it was great mistake
for young people to imagine that they must
defer marriage until they might secure
wealth. ..-..u.... -0...- .i-

The Cincinnati Commercial has the happy
faculty at times of so arranging a few
words of the English language that it
knocks all the wind out Of the opposition
and kicks them n few times before they can
catch another breath. 1t says: "There
never was more unspeakable twaddle than
the talk OF President Hayes having stolen
the executive office. He had really moth

The responsibility rests exclusively with
the Congress which created n tribunal to
determine the issue of Hayes VS.. Tilden
If the decision was against the law and
the facts, still Mr.. Hayes could not do other.

The foe of American social life is in
the tendency to luxury and effeminacy

The foe of American social life is in
the tendency to luxury and effeminacy
among the well-to-da young women of
our American cities and large towns.
They do not realize how this dreadful
mania for ~exhausting pleasures, and a
life of alternate idleness and amuse-
ment is destroying their health; abol-
ishing true marriage; feeding the flame
of gross sensuality and intemperance
among young men, and saddening the
hopes of the best parents of the land.
Some Of them never will know it in this
world. But most of them have no real
purpose to waste their lives in this
wretched way. And it is high crime in
mothers, teachers, ministers of religion
aud the public press to pander to this
insanity. Thousands Of good-hcarted
young girls are sacrificed every year
when a little wise and loving guidance
could save them. But we feel that they
should be told that unless they change
this life they will pass away like the
flowers of June, and 4 more hardy and
resoIute class occupy their places.
American society will shed every class
of triGers, male or female, that does not
do its work, as the forests shed their
withered leaves. Let them awake from
their dream of social indulgence; learn
to live out Of doors; to build up their
health; to cultivate more simple tastes
in dress, and more moderation in pleas
ure; study domestic economy; study
social skill and tact; fit themselves for
the noblest positions ever yet offered to
their sex, and learn that wo an is the
soul of American life, and not the tin
sci on its garment. Uniyersalist Quar-
terly.
